Episode 2237 Scott Adams - We Can See The Gears Of The Fascist Machine Now. It's Not Good, Not Good

yeah good morning everybody Welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and aren't you glad you're here because today if you'd like to take your experience up to levels which have never been known to human beings all you need is a cup of micro glass a Tankard shelters dying the canteen jug of flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous separate it goes like this ah I feel that your oxytocin was just activated even from a distance it's one of my powers I wonder if you could increase some of these oxytocin by hypnosis I'll bet you could I'll bet that's actually possible but let's talk about the news so there's a new way that AI is being trained you know the old way was I would look at words and it would say oh if this combination of words is more common then it'll use it that way and so just the combination of words created this AI that we use now but you might also be aware that Tesla is using a video trading thing so it's trading its cars to drive autonomously by just feeding it a gazillion videos of cars driving and it doesn't teach you any rules it just shows that you know a bazillion miles of driving and the AI just figures out how to drive by looking at how other people drive but apparently that could be extended to other things so now there's something called a lbm so the llm is the large language model so that's trained on human words and the lbm is a behavior model so they are here's how they they train it to make breakfast they put the AI there and they say watch this and then they make breakfast in front of it and then they do it again a bunch of times and then it knows how to make breakfast now it's only going to know what it cooked and what you cooked in front of it but it's actually learning tasks by observation I guess one of the breakthroughs is they gave it a thumb that could feel like a human hand so if you've got at least one part of the robot that can feel something then the feeling you know adds to its learning so it learns faster but apparently you can just teach you things it's already taught at a bunch of things now my only caution to this is the first time I read about this was 15 or 20 years ago I think it was at least 15 years ago that I saw a article that a a robot had been trained to fold laundry simply by looking at a lot of people folding laundry I guess but it never that robot never turned into anything but it looks like it's the same model you just show it how you do it and it learns it so that's pretty exciting maybe it will learn to do everything like I said the robots will take all the manual labor jobs but then AI will take all the the intelligence related jobs but that still still leaves a lot of room for humans uh it's called crime so if you want to get your criminal uh skills up to up to date it might be all you have left well Don Jr's uh account got hacked on the X profile uh and somebody had a good time uh tweeting on his behalf let me just tell you some of the things that were tweeted from Don Jr's account that we're not actually Don Jr.

North Korea is about to get smoked okay and I'm sorry to announce my father passed away I'll be running for president yeah and more like that I believe the Nu n-word was a part of it yeah yeah he got now that's hacked that is hacked do you know what weird I thought I had basically yesterday and today uh one of my devices I don't want to be specific but one of my devices is showing an indication that somebody's in my phone or in my account in some way and you know there's a whole bunch of things you can do like you can you can get rid of your phone and then you can put it on total lockdown mode you can get rid of all your prior apps and you know reload them from scratch so I I know how to create a clean phone but the work involved in making sure that my phone is clean is more than the benefit of not of having my privacy isn't that weird I actually compared the two and I thought you know what I just don't even need my privacy that much they win yeah they win exactly they win when I looked at how much work it would take to secure my phone and then what is secured let me just give you a hint once your phone is secured the only way it could ever stay that way is if you never click on a link again on your phone that's the only way if you click on a link even if it comes from your best friend you don't know if your best friend got you know taken by the same link right so if your phone can't be used to click on a link it's almost useless because I use my phone mostly for work related stuff and it's it's just people sending me links all day it's basically the only thing I do with my phone look at links if I can't do that I don't even need the phone practically I I mean I'm exaggerating but they actually got to the point we're actually at a point where there are two things that I assume to be true number one I'm definitely compromised just because I do you know political things in public I just assume somebody's in there maybe more than one entity I don't know the other thing I assume is that if somebody wanted to find out something about me there's nothing that would stop them so I mean I could I don't really have anything I can think of to hide but if they wanted to find out more about me I don't know that I could stop anybody and the other thing is that the moment I cleaned my phone wouldn't I have to do the same thing with all of my devices from my you know i.

Pads to my laptop and if they were in any one of them they're going to be into everything right so it's basically a situation where it's not actually practical to keep hackers out of my private information it's actually not possible I don't see any practical way I could do that I mean I could do it for a minute I could get a burner phone that would have no utility but I wouldn't be able to just do my business and also maintain my privacy those two things I don't think can happen two phones uh yeah that's just too much trouble yeah so I don't know I think we're all hacked all right I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about a story and I'm going to try not to lose my like I'm really going to try hard I'm just going to tell you the story and try not to lose my shift so this is uh I believe we're coming up on the five year anniversary of China killing my stepson along with the cartels um so my stepson died of a fentanyl overdose five years ago now in 2018 I said I was going to destroy China in Revenge and if you believe Peter's Zion is pretty much almost dead it's it's going to fall apart any time however this uh I'm sure that the my feelings about China also influenced my feelings about tick tock because Tick Tock is as many people said digital Fentanyl so to me The Tick Tock issue and the fentanyl issue are just two ways that China is killing Americans and destroying America so in my head even though they're very different topics they're not they're not they're not different topics so this is all by way of telling you I do not have an objective feeling about this topic and I'm just barely containing myself right now I'm just barely holding on I'm going to tell you what the story is in the Wall Street Journal today about tick tock I'm not sure I could even get through this uh honest honestly god I think I'm gonna lose it but I'll do the best I can just to tell you the story so this is a Wall Street Journal I think I'll just read it Washington Tick Tock has hardly any friends in government earlier this year as the Biden Administration Congress and State legislatures were threatening to ban the Chinese owned a video Giant now would you agree that I was part of the push to ban tick tock I mean I don't know who was talking about it harder than I was in in some ways I feel like I might have actually been the main influence I'm not sure but there were other people all right so so here's the background that Congress was against Tick Tock and it looked like there was going to be movement to ban it and then do you do you remember it didn't happen and you kept wondering well what's going on like why is it not happening it's so obvious and then did you notice that every time the politicians talked about it they wouldn't say that there was an influence risk which is actually the big risk they would say there was a data risk and I kept saying why do you keep saying data risk although that is a small risk when the big risk is the one you're not mentioning like why do you keep doing that now the only thing I could think of is that some members of Congress enough of them had been bought off by tick tock because it looked exactly like somebody had been bribed and probably a lot of people have been bribed so that's what I thought at the time and I think many of you can verify that I said it publicly and probably a whole bunch of times right can can you verify that I said publicly Congress must be bought off because there's no explanation for this observation all right now let me read on let me continue reading on from The Wall Street Journal Tick Tock now has many more friends how did Tick Tock get so many friends in Congress with something in common backing from billionaire financier Jeff yes Yasss they've helped stall attempts to Outlaw America's most downloaded app why would this billionaire care about this app why is a billionaire care about a tick tock app huh well here's why yas's Investment Company Susquehanna International Group bet big on Tick Tock in 2012.

boy that was a good time to bet on it buying a stake in parent company bite Dance Now measured at about 15 percent so he owns 15 percent of bite dance which owns tick tock that translates into a personal stake for yes of seven percent in bite dance so he doesn't own everything that's invested in it he owns part of the investment it is worth roughly 21 billion dollars that's one guy one investor one person is worth an extra 21 billion now he's already a billionaire but that's most of his net worth the vast majority of his net worth is tick tock right um and his whole his whole valuation like the billionaire is worth 28 million 28 billion but 21 of the 28 billion of his net worth is just tick tock okay that's because just because take time did so well let's go on yes is also one of the top donors to the Club for Growth the Club for Growth well I wonder who that is there's a Club for Growth it's an influential conservative group that rallied Republican opposition to a Tick-Tock ban gas has donated 61 million dollars to the Club for Growth political spending arms since 2010 or about 24 percent of its total according to Federal records the Club for Growth made public its opposition to Banning Tick-Tock in March in an opinion article by its president at a time when sentiment against the platform among segments of both parties was running high on Capitol Hill are you ready for this part oh it gets worse this gets worse Days Later Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky stood up on the senate floor and quashed an attempt to fast-track a bill by Senator Josh Hawley to ban downloading of The Tick Tock app Senator Rand Paul said quote we will be acting like the Chinese government if we ban Tick Tock here Paul said around that time in June that's just a few months after Rand Paul said that yes donated 3 million to a political committee backing Paul including that contribution Yaz and his wife Janine have donated more than 24 million to Paul or committees that support him since 2015.

according to Federal records Club for Growth has given Paul and supporting political committees one eight 1.8 million since 2020.

it was exactly what it looks like it's Rand Paul now let me give you a little bit you know I want to I want to show both sides Rand Paul is unique in that he's more libertarian right Libertarians don't like governments interfering with their business do you think that's what's going on do you think Rand Paul is simply being a good libertarian and he's just being true to his his belief that the government shouldn't get involved in Banning stuff yeah well let's look at his statement we will be acting like the Chinese government if we ban Tick-Tock here well that's correct isn't it isn't that correct they would be acting we would be acting like the Chinese government if we ban tick tock do you know why that would be like the Chinese government because the Chinese government bans Tick Tock in their own country because it would be damaging to the children so yes we would be acting like China because China is acting correctly they're protecting their children does this sound like a real opinion that Rand Paul has do you believe this is his literal literally this is just his whole opinion well to me it looks exactly like what it looks like that he has bought that China owns China indirectly through the billionaire owns Rand Paul and Josh Hawley we should conclude is not owned by China because Josh Hawley tried to kill it and Rand Paul stopped it from being killed now why did why did it take so long for me to learn this why did it take so long for you to learn it and by the way big big props to the Wall Street Journal for doing the article I I should have noted the authors but I recommend it just go to the Wall Street Journal and click on it see what's up so why do you think we found this out now I don't know but I would hate to think it's because Murdoch who owns The Wall Street Journal and is a billionaire himself may have some problems with this other billionaire like like maybe it's not even news for all I know it could be just one Billionaire's matter and another billionaire and found out found a way to take it out of them so you can't really trust anything can you but at least we know more than we knew before somebody said give Rand Paul 48 hours to respond no no nope absolutely not no no no no no no he's not going to give 48 hours to respond um how do you feel about that how do you feel about the fact that Rand Paul is your kids for money yeah he's your children for money I mean not physically him but he is destroying their brains and their lives with tech talk apparently for money Now isn't it convenient that it also matches somewhat his political opinions that the government shouldn't be involved but you know you don't have to be much of a mind reader to know that's not what's going on here follow the money it's very predictive it's exactly what you thought it was all right now let me change topics let's see this was a situation where it was very clear that the right thing to do was to ban it very clear right it's very clear is there any other situation where it's very clear what the right thing to do is but for some reason Congress isn't doing it can you think of another one like that yeah the Border that's right the border is exactly like this at least observed from the outside is something in which you should assume that Congress overwhelmingly agrees they should be closed or controlled and yet it's not happening Tick Tock overwhelmingly was you know people were in favor of banning it but it wasn't happening it's the same situation you can now comfortably assume based on pattern recognition and the fact that the government is guilty until proven innocent not the other way around as long as there's lack of transparency they're guilty you just have to assume that and so it seems that the cartels either through some other billionaire or directly have enough control of our Congress that they can make us do things we don't want to do yeah so uh you know I think it is fair to hear what Rand Paul says in response but if it's true that he he's the one who stopped the ban I don't really need to hear anything else because there's no way in the world he's dumb enough to not know what he did he knows what he did if the if this reporting is true and you know it seems incredible to me it's a credible source talking about public information so you know how wrong can it be but we'll see I mean maybe there's more to this story but at the moment it looks like Rand Paul has just bought and paid for that's what it looks like do you all agree with that interpretation there Rand Paul is just bought I'm seeing it now all right but let me ask you this those of you who are saying no I know it's because you you have good feelings about him and so so if I up until this point but it's going to be a little hard to ignore this pretty hard to ignore this wow there's a lot of people who still want to back him even knowing he's operating against the United States but you understand he's operating against the interests of the United States in probably the most basic way that is destroying the country do you don't you don't think that Tick Tock is the main reason the country is if you haven't been paying attention if you don't think it's the main reason it's the main reason our youth has been destroyed their minds have been turned into by this app and and others like it but it's a primary one so what else is going on um the ex-prime minister of New Zealand yes and uh ardern this is Jonathan turley's tweeting about this and writing about it uh she's turned down to be the number one voice for censoring free speech is that amazing that the prime minister ex-priminister in New Zealand is like giving talks at the United Nations and she's just directly is against free speech she says misinformation must be stopped and the government gets to decide what is misinformation what is that that is the end of free speech how in the world does she not know that what would you assume about somebody who has an opinion that is so objectively and obviously bad for the world you have to assume she's owned by somebody who has some financial interest you could not assume that this is a real opinion does anybody think this is a real opinion that the government should be in charge of what's real do you think she's really believes that that the governments should tell everybody what's true really you think she really believes that because you know who believes that nobody there's nobody who believes that there's only people who want to want their version of Truth to to be Supreme you know if if Republicans somehow won all branches of the government do you think that the Democrats would be saying you know you've got to listen to the government when it tells you what's true no they would say that the government is lying because it's all Republicans you should really listen to Democrats but when the Democrats have you know sufficient control of the government then they say you should listen to the government coincidentally Democrats right so none of this is about information or misinformation or your health it's complete control it's just a control play like so many other things are well if you were a subscriber to Dilbert reborn either on the locals platform or you could subscribe on the X platform just hit the subscription button to see Dilbert every day the spicier version that's not censored by anybody uh but you would be amused to know that dogbert has started a non-profit organization called the dogbert defamation League and his business model is accusing corporations of uh being racists unless they donate to the dog defamation League yeah unless let me tell you business is booming so that's what you're missing if you're not subscribing to the Dilbert reborn comic well uh Louis CK made the terrible mistake of trying to talk about something that mattered and every now and then you wonder how dumb people can be who seem otherwise successful and smart and Louis CK explained why he was in support of open borders I think it was on Joe Rogan's show and he said quote my feeling is that we should open it let everybody pour in but then there will be all these problems yes there should be it shouldn't be so great here in America and he goes on to explain that because America is doing so well and other places are not doing as well that it's not fair that we keep all our good stuff that we should let them in to have our stuff do I need to spend even 10 seconds describing why that's the dumbest opinion in the history of all opinions in the world since the beginning of the universe and the big bang and possibly before the Big Bang when there was another timeline that existed in no I don't I don't that is so dumb that one wonders what does somebody's face even look like when they say something like that so I captured a screenshot Louis CK as he was describing his uh erudite ideas so here's the picture I swear I this is not photoshopped he actually looked like the pointy-haired boss in Dilbert he actually looked like the pointy air boss when he said it now again this is not photoshopped you know it's unfair to catch somebody in mid-speech because their you know their mouth will be funny like like that but that's actually his picture now have you ever seen a a face that matched an opinion better than this one right so if you didn't see the picture and I said he was in favor of open borders because we have too much you'd say who said that and I would say a person that you thought was a reasonable person and then you say who and I'd say well let me show you a picture of the person who said that and then I'd show him this picture and then you would say oh I get it now I get it oh wait I can put my own picture next to it oh my God I can make the reflection I can make him turn into me are you seeing this it's different on the two platforms I can make him talk we should open the mothers we should also to the mortars okay that was weird well uh let's see there's a new investigation that's going to be opened on Elon Musk oh what a big surprise it turns out it was a bit of a a hunting trip to find that if they could find any bad stuff on Elon Musk to shut him down so let me see if I get this right so Congress wants to promote Tick Tock for which some members are getting paid uh and you know indirectly um but it wants to kill Twitter probably because it's the last place you have free speech in the United States in any practical way everything else is just narrative and and but now he's being investigated for the the allegation doesn't even make sense to me so I'll tell you the allegation but I'll tell you also I'm positive this doesn't make sense so the allegation is that he was that musk was going to use Tesla as like a private piggy bank to pay for what would be you know an elaborate home he was going to build some kind of a glass home now I don't know if that ever happened I think maybe there was some movement on it maybe it's not happening now I don't know but do you believe is there any part of you that believes the Elon Musk who's running a public company right has shareholders in that he he was going to take some Untold millions of dollars just out of the shareholders money and he was just going to buy a house with it because that's what's been reported that he was just sort of expensing it off of Tesla does that sound even slightly true no it it doesn't there's not even like like 0.001 width of that possibly being true but do you think that the public is aware that there's basically no way that could happen in a public company there is no way that can happen in a public company it just couldn't happen but but that's the news the news is saying that maybe it happened it's crazy all right well if there's more to this than I know I'll update it so there's a new study they did some brain Imaging and they found that people who were likely to be obese have a heightened neural sensitivity to reward so people who overeat uh get more benefit from overeating it just it feels better have you heard have you heard that opinion from anyone who was let's say not a research scientist somebody who wasn't an expert yeah me as I've told you a number of times and I love telling this story because it's when I learned probably the best lesson I ever had in my life I was and I was taking hypnosis class and the instructor was overweight himself and you know I don't know if you call him obese but he was in that neighborhood and he explained why even though he's a hypnotist you know he couldn't be hypnotized to quit eating and here was his entire explanation of everything you need to know about diets and dieting I like to eat that was it I like to eat and he said if he didn't like it so much he wouldn't do it and the the extension from that is that people who don't like to eat as much are going to be able to control their their weight now I'm perfect example I am currently actually I overshot my Mark I'm actually below the way I would like to be at the moment I could probably add two pounds but I got there effortlessly by just not eating bread for a while that's it I just took bread out of my diet nothing else just any bread and lost 10 pounds right away now do I sound like somebody who's like obsessed about food no I'm not a foodie I don't like dessert you know I'm just not drawn to it it's the same reason I'm not an alcoholic you know I am not an alcoholic I don't enjoy alcohol as much as alcoholics do you know I'm not fat because I don't enjoy food as much as other people do and that's it once you understand that one sentence I like to eat that's the explanation of every everything in the world if you believe there's this thing called willpower that doesn't make sense because you could say yeah yeah maybe you like it better but you use your willpower you just got to ramp up your willpower a little higher just get a little more willpower there is no such thing as willpower or free will they're only competing um things that you like to do or you're afraid of that's it the things you want to do and the things you're afraid of there's nothing else and if there's something you're not afraid of and you want to do it you're going to do a lot of it and if that happens to be eating you can eat too much everything can be explained by simply competing levels of Interest how much you want something it explains your entire all Behavior All activity all human activity everything you see can be described by people follow the thing they like the most and they fear the least that's it you don't need any free will or willpower or any of that stuff you can explain all observations nothing's left out anyway that's just another example um in which the people who are hypnotists have learned what science is learning 40 years later and it's all right right I may have told you this about the large language models that as a hypnotist I'd learned 40 years ago that people don't have actual thoughts like reason that they just put words together and then they say later well that was a reason and that's what the large language models taught us 40 years later yeah hypnosis was way ahead of all the brain science and it wasn't because there was a science to hypnosis it was just trial and error and it became obvious what a brain was if you're a hypnotist if you weren't a hypnotist you believed in Magic oh I've got a soul and Free Will and willpower these are all just magical thinking hypnotists don't see any of that in practice they just see it like a machine and then it explains everything here's a horrible Trend that you knew was going to happen but I'm going to give you the optim most optimistic take so over in Spain there are dozens of girls reporting in school that people had generated uh AI based nudes of them so they were fake but they were AI made so they looked probably they probably took a photograph of the real face and then added the nakedness to it so of course it's a huge psychological traumatic experience as you imagine it would be but by the end of this year every girl in high school will have an unauthorized AI nude of them because their friends will be happy to do it all they need is to take an app and take a photo and drag it in and push a button and you got a nude picture of your your classmate of course everybody's going to do it of course they will there's nothing that can stop it and and it wouldn't even be illegal to do it privately for your own purposes um I don't even know if it's illegal to pass it around but I bet you could find a law that violates if it's not the actual person then it wouldn't have the same criminal problems as a picture of the actual person but it would be abusive so if there's blackmail involved I guess sometimes there's blackmail involved so there would be lots of crimes that they could hit without it being an actual picture of the person I guess yeah there's nothing that can stop it but here do you want to hear the positive thing here's the positive part of that in theory as The Fakes get better and better two things are going to happen number one you will get bored by it imagine the first time you see an AI picture of one of your classmates and you're 14 years old you're 14 years old you're like oh this is the greatest thing I'm going to send it to all my friends and then they say what app did you use and they're like oh we got to make some more of these I've got somebody else I want to do this to so you do a few more of your friends and you know it's trauma and it's psychological damage it's terrible and then a few more people do it because it's easy and a few more people do it because the other ones didn't get caught and pretty soon you will literally be bored when you see another AI nude picture of your classmate it's just going to be like another meme it will just be a meme and you'll just be Boop now you might say to yourself oh this one's really funny and you might send it around but nobody's going to believe it's real you see where I'm going pretty soon and very soon even the real pictures of you nude will be regarded as fake because the fakes look like the real ones so you could get to the point where nobody cares that even an underage person has has a picture floating around because people would just assume it's Ai and they will or that they don't know and they'll also be completely bored by it they will be completely bored by it you'll see a nude of your best friend and you'll be like so it's not a real nude yeah I've seen 50 of these so yeah I I think that it will be terrible for a while and then we'll just get used to it and it won't be such a thing all right uh Christopher Ruffo I think I'm pronouncing that right our UFO is it rufo or Ruffo does anybody know I'd like to say it right ooh rufo okay I think it's rufo but he likes dunking on uh Ibrahim Kennedy who are let's say uh what would be the right word um policy wise they would be opposites right so Abram is the anti-racist guy who many would say is actually just a racist so uh rufo tweet says Ibrahim Ibrahim ex Kennedy has admitted defeat in the latest edition of his book Kennedy has deleted his most famous quotation I guess I used to say the only the only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination and that rufo says he blames white people for making him look racist he recommended racism against white people and then blames white people for making him look racist and then you know I'll remind you of the other news that Kendy had some kind of a anti-racist center that had been partially funded by I think Jack Dorsey and some other entities and he had a little staff of people doing anti-racist stuff and the staff ended up complaining about him so he actually created a group of professional complainers and then it turns out oops you got a bunch of professional complainers on your staff I mean who would have seen that coming you hired professional victims they were literally people who were primed to be victims and you hired him and then they said that they were victims working for you who who could have seen that coming well I'll tell you who could have seen it coming anybody who understands how cause and effect works do you think Louis CK understands how cause and effect works when he says open the Border he actually couldn't game that through in his mind to understand what the cause would have affected he actually couldn't do it and almost anybody could do it I mean I'm sure I could get a 12 year old to game that out or if you open the borders tell me what happens next he couldn't do it he thought everything would work out okay um anyway that was fun to dunk on candy I do feel like there's some kind of a corner being turned on all the Dei and CRT and the SG stuff it's way more obvious than it's destroying the world now right it's completely poisoned uh race relations and it made it basically it uh it made it dangerous for white people to be around black people who had been trained to complain about you which again has nothing about there's nothing about being black has nothing to do about your DNA it's nothing about anybody's genetics but if you happen to be a group of people who have been trained to demonize another group well if you're the demonized group you should get some distance from that group if you can as far away as you can it's not really possible for that that's hyperbole all right have you ever seen anybody criticize me for having an opinion on something on which I'm not an expert has anybody ever seen that anybody ever see me say but Scott you're not an expert on that every day every day now I defend myself by saying I'm not an expert on anything well not any of the things in the news usually but I do have one one expertise I'm pretty good at telling when somebody's lying and when it's and you don't really need to be an expert in the field to recognize would you agree they're recognizing is my expertise I mean I do it every day you can you can look at my track record yourself I think it's the best there is by far actually let me ask you this for those who've been watching me for a few years is my calling of the best you've ever seen the best you've ever seen yeah a wall of yeses for the people who watch me the most it is the best you've ever seen it's because the the hypnosis skill set plus my age plus having a you know a business background it gives you a lot of Windows into things and so you can see the a little faster for example if you didn't understand how business models work it would be harder to spot if you didn't know that follow the money always works you'd be confused about a lot of stuff if you didn't know that the story that grabs your interest the most in the news wow I can't believe it is almost certainly to be untrue that's why it grabbed your interest because it's almost certainly that's untrue how about those Mexican uh UFO bodies could you look away for that for even a minute the moment you saw UFO bodies and found didn't you stop everything didn't you stop even thinking about other things Zoop and look at that yeah that's your tell that is fake as soon as you found your brain hijacked that's that's like an 80 to 90 percent likelihood it's fake because real things don't do that real things are not that interesting it's the fake stuff that gets you to like what yeah so here's another one of those situations when the F-35 went missing with what the government is calling now a mishap uh I weighed in with my lack of expertise saying this nobody ejects from a plane that's still at a high altitude you know high enough that it's their normal flying altitude and it's capable of flying another 80 miles or at least a long distance we didn't know it was 80 miles but it was obviously flying on its own and it wasn't flying directly to the ground so what I said with my total lack of expertise is that it's very unlikely that there was a catastrophic problem because we would know that if the plane blew up or or if or if let's say the cockpit was full of smoke it's the first thing you know they would tell you that right away oh there was a technical problem in the plane so we grounded the fleet until we find out what it is to see if it's common to any of the other planes so you could know right away that the the first level of was you knew the government knew if the plane had failed in in a normal way that was just some kind of mechanical problem right you would have known right away because that's the first thing they would have told you there was a mechanical problem the the pilot got down safely because that would be like a success right if the pilot got out safely after a catastrophic mechanical problem I think they'd want you to know that that the system works well enough that even if a plane fails which would be kind of rare pilate gets out alive that would actually be more of a plus and a negative you know if you thought about it in its in its totality it's more of a plus um but we didn't hear that did we so you knew something was going on that wasn't the normal stuff the normal stuff would be there's a problem with the plane and it's catastrophic and so the pilot got out the fact that you didn't hear that explanation right away the most normal obvious one it could be is a really clear signal there's something else happening but the fact that the plane was not near the ground and was able to fly when the pilot left is a very strong indication that there's another mystery involved and now that it's being called a mishap what does that tell you so the the official word which was used by um hmm who was who's the guy in charge whose name I can't remember but basically all the guys in charge are saying and women in charge Kirby yeah Kirby said mishap as well so mishap when do you use the word mishap under what conditions would you call this what we know about it a mishap well the first thing you'd have to know is that they don't know the real cause they're not sure the real cause as possible as pilot error and they don't want you to know that that's possible so one of the possibilities is is pilot error and they don't want you to know it the other possibility is they suspect it was hacked but they don't know yet or they suspect it was hacked they do know and they don't want to tell you or they'll never tell you but none of but the word mishap in my opinion eliminates the possibility that there was a catastrophic problem because if there was a catastrophic technical failure they would just tell you the pilot would say I don't know what went on but major failure I have to get out and then they would say there's a major failure we don't know what it is pilot pilot lived but they called it a mishap so my indicator was correct the first time I'm positive now there was not a catastrophic uh jet can't fly anymore problem would you give me that is it too soon is it too soon to say that by detector accurately detected it was not a normal catastrophic problem in the air I think so so far it looks like I'm right without any expertise except that I was once married to a pilot so I I know that Pilots don't think Pilots don't think of jumping out when the plane can still fly it's just not a thing all right here are some more Gears of the machine so uh Joel Pollock writes about this in Breitbart so the Department of Homeland Security and the secretary there is Alejandro mayorcas same same person who's in charge of the border security so the person that you don't trust because he is in charge of border security and appears to be doing nothing like border security looks like he's just letting everybody in which might be more of a congress problem or a president problem maybe he's just doing what he has to do but we don't trust him because he's the person most associated with uh lying about what's happening at the border at the very least he's lying about it I don't know what else he's doing but he's certainly lying about it and he's not doing anything to fix it it's his job to fix it and it's our biggest risk at the moment so you have big questions about that don't you but just to make you doubly suspicious he's created some kind of an Advisory Board the intelligence experts group and it's comprised of private sector experts who are going to give their unique perspective on the federal government's intelligence uh you know entire workings and two of the people that were appointed to that were John Brennan and James Clapper oh my goodness oh my goodness now this audience is well trained I I would say that the people watching this live stream right now and the people who watch it recorded are probably in would you agree with this statement in the top five percent of well-informed people about politics when you say you're in the top five percent generally speaking right now as soon as I said these names John Brennan and James Clapper everybody who's been paying attention all of your flags went up right whoa whoa whoa whoa these are designated Liars I've already told you with these specific names that when they tried out the designated Liars there's something terrible going on so we don't know what the deal is with mayorkas and we don't know what the deal is with the Border we just know it looks crooked it looks crooked and then to bolster his support he added the two most crooked known Liars in the intelligence world now who would do that who who would ever do that well it would be somebody who knows that 95 of the world won't notice or will think that these are good people to have in the committee probably but to me it looks like a criminal Enterprise is just making sure that the their criminals are on all the important committees and Watchdog groups and fact Checkers it just seems more of the important people making sure that they have their their their plants in all the important positions now have I ever told you that one of the ways the Machine Works the Democrat machine is they create fake advisory Watchdog think tanks they put their people there and then the people that they put there say what they want them to say and then the politicians could say you know it's not just me I mean this Think Tank advisory committee uh all these advisors they say it too so you know don't give me a hard time I'm just taking expert advice but it's not real expert advice it's people that they put in these jobs who are owned in some way either by money or blackmail or common interest and and then they pretend to the other 95 percent of the public that there's some kind of legitimate system and it's all operating properly because they can't they can't see the gears but would you agree that with the Rand Paul story about Tick Tock you can see the gears of the machine it's really obvious what went on really obvious and with the Border is it not completely obvious that the intention is to keep it open with all of the damage it will cause it's very clear you know what I'm wondering does somebody have blackmail on uh Alexander Soros or maybe even the his father because there's no way to explain the Soros donations and Elon Musk said this he said you can't explain it on any uh based on any public information there's nothing that we know publicly that explains these activities it it could only be that somebody is trying to destroy America because you would never let the criminals enter jail and open the borders to the cartels you would never do that no nobody who understands as much as Alexander Soros must understand about the world you know by now he would he knows the gears of the machine probably better than anybody do you think that he would let this happen unless he would unless he was under duress I think he's under duress meaning that somebody has something on him because imagine if you could control the entire Soros Empire by blackmailing one person now you know he's not doing it for money because he has all the money in the world so what else would make you do something that is obviously bad for you in the world blackmail I can't think of anything but blackmail that would do it so my working assumption is that Alexander Soros is being blackmailed because you couldn't explain anything he's doing any other way there's no way to explain it so that's my working assumption but I don't have direct evidence of anything like that uh let's see if you can spot the propaganda I saw a saw a tweet about a poll and the poll says that uh both Democrats and Republicans have an unprecedented uh low trust in politics and their own and political parties so Trust um let's make sure Trump doesn't get in yeah so do you think that's the way to frame the story that the public has an unprecedented level of distrust in politics is that the right way to say the story say the same thing in the non-propicana way all right here's the non-propaganda way politicians are so corrupt that the public now understands the level of corruption and they've adjusted their opinion accordingly the story makes it sound like the public has some some problem that they have a lack of trust you know as if the media is the problem like the suggestion is there's something that happened in the Public's mind you know maybe the media you know maybe social media is like pluting their minds so that they have so little Trust that is a backwards way to tell the story the story is the government can't be trusted and the public is catching on why isn't that the way they write the story that's the true that's the most accurate way to describe it politics is bad and the public has caught up can you see the gears of the machine even the polls whether whether whether they collude to do it or they just know to do it are part of the machine to disguise from you the Badness of the political system all right uh here's my provocative thing I'm going to add here I'm going to make a claim that you you'll have to fact check on your own I guess and the claim is this that as a trained hypnotist I can identify people who were in a waking trance now waking trance means that you know you're up and you're talking and you're you you look like everybody else you're just doing your thing but if you engage somebody in a topic in which they have been brainwashed they immediately their their face and their actions immediately go into a waking trance mode and one of the things that makes me crazy is that once you're trained to recognize it you can't unsee it so a lot of what you think are people doing some kind of a political debate nothing like that's happening they just go into a trance mode and they repeat what they've heard now some of the Tells for somebody who's in a waking trance mode would be give you the telescope and you've seen these all before but the more I tell you the more more easily you can spot them uh do you ever see somebody who you give them some Counterpoint to their point let's say on the X platform they say blah blah is true and then let's say you give them a link with some credible looking uh data that's opposite of their opinion do you ever see them say oh I didn't know about that no what they'll usually get is they'll get they'll show some level of consternation the consternation is a tell because if you're just dealing with the topic you would just deal with the information and you'd judge it good or bad or something like that but if you get mad and go after the person who said it oh well that's exactly what you'd expect from a science disbelieving mango person right that's a tell for somebody who's in The Waking trance they can't process why what they're hearing doesn't match what they've been prop brainwashed to believe so the brainwashing is causing them to have an angry reaction to having the brainwashing being challenged by facts or Reason so here's another one um look for the unusually high confidence in an opinion which is word salad so somebody will give you an opinion in words and you look at the words and you'll say well I understand how the sentence makes sense but not how the point makes sense it looks like you just strung words together and it looks like a pattern of words I've seen before you know sort of like the large language model because most most people's opinions are assigned by their preferred media and they'll use even the same language to describe it so if you see somebody with high confidence but when they describe their opinion it sounds like word salad it's the combination of the high confidence and the inability to say anything that makes sense that's a tell that they're an Awakening trance brainwashed and to use other words um but the other way is one that I can I see but I can't explain how to to do it what are the biggest skills of a hypnotist is to observe the subject as they're hypnotizing them and to see if it's working or not and you can tell if it's working by very subtle differences in their posture their breathing their skin tone there might be a flushness there could be you know little ticks in their bodies so there's a whole bunch of things wealth their eyes are open or closed it's different but you look for just the smallest towels of muscle ticks and and posture and stuff now when I have a conversation with somebody who's showing these other tells I'm usually also seeing it in their body you can actually tell somebody's brainwashed in an awaking trance if you're trained to see it so I have this terrible feeling that many of you don't have which is when I'm walking around in public I can tell the not just walking around but if you're having a conversation with somebody about politics you can see them go into the trance and you know the eyes will change and the every their mannerism will change and they'll just be in the trance yeah the the Trump derangement syndrome trance now the the other thing that uh you look for is the the wide-eyed if anybody saw a Kirby uh talking to Martha Mc.

Callum and he was being asked a series of questions when when Kirby was telling you something that was true and you didn't have any doubt about it that's true his eyes would be normal and he would talk like this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah this is true as soon as he went into uh propaganda mode his eyes would bug out like Adam Schiff and the and the bug eyes if it's somebody who doesn't have bug eyes all the time when they're trying to tell you something then their eyes go big is because they know they're lying or they know it's propaganda and they're trying to use their eyes to sell you what their words can't right they use the eyes when they know that the words are not convincing when the words are convincing because it's just something normal and obvious he doesn't do that but but watch Kirby's big eyes that's another sign of somebody brainwashing you so I have this terrible experience where it's like I'm walking around with zombies and and people who are in a hypnotic State and and propagandists and if you think you're walking around with a bunch of people who are listening to the news and forming their own opinions you're not even in my same world we are not in the same world because I don't see anything like that I don't see people listening to the news and forming their own opinions I see people who have been propagandized and people who are propaganda people now nothing's 100 right if there's a news topic that you don't have any emotional interest in there's a really good chance you're just looking at the facts but as soon as you introduce any bit of emotion any bit of caring any bit of team play which is enough just team play Oh I gotta win then everything goes off the rails and turns into pure propaganda people go into trans mode their eyes get big and there's nothing happening there in the form of reason or reasoning or or even honest debate social credit scores I don't you know I don't think anything could stop it I I feel like we're gonna have to start another country so you know how United States was formed by a group of people who wanted specific freedoms and religious freedom I think was top of the list right and then that morphed into other freedoms like freedom of speech that sounded good freedom of assembly that stuff so the country was formed because where people were before they didn't have the the freedom that they wanted but unfortunately America has turned into a propaganda cesspool so we don't have anything like free speech you know you can get banned if you if you even try um and we're just taking people out for like political things and something they did 20 years ago which might have been plenty bad but it's not a really a good system so it's almost like you know you want to go to a green field and say all right if you were the founding the founders of the country and you knew that the internet was coming would you have done anything differently maybe you would one of the things you might have done is you might have written right into the Constitution that Free Speech applies to all digital means and it doesn't matter if somebody privately owns those digital means they cannot stop your free speech or something like that but but to imagine that the system that was built into pre-internet world should fit our current system is sort of unreasonable it's unreasonable to think that our current system is applicable to the mass brainwashing Digital World we're in So at the very least we should rethink free speech like how do you protect it and my view was is that the one and only way to protect it is with Community notes or a system like that so you could imagine for example that Facebook um and you know the other platforms let's say the government said here's the deal you know your platforms can you know be anything you want because you're as long as it's legal but the one thing you can't do is suppress opinions and not allow context to be added to them so you have to build a system like Community notes that contacts can be added to any political opinions or medical or scientific and that uh that the platform can't take them away so if you're going to let people have speech on your platform you have to let everybody have speech in your platform and there might be still some things you know like child related things that just have to be banned but generally speaking you'd say Free Speech means everybody gets to talk anything they want as long as it's legal and you have to provide a context tool like Community notes now how different would things be if everything out of context in it like really really different and there should be um some law that says you can't be for example demonetized based on an accusation which is what's happening to Russell Brand Russell Brand is being demonetized because of an accusation the serious ones but unproven very unproven in the court of law so yeah so it seems to me that we either need to start a country that has actual Free Speech as we understand it in the digital world or we have to make some basic changes about what platforms can do because you know here here's a conversation I'm really tired of uh these platforms are suppressing free speech they're privately owned privately owned platforms they are not required to do what the government is required to do yes Dale everybody knows that everybody knows that so what you added to the conversation was nothing because everybody knows that and still while everybody knows that we think that this is a new situation and should be rethought and that perhaps some controls or you know some let's say guard rails would make sense in the digital world but they're private companies yes but in a practical sense having free speech isn't really meaningful if you don't have access to social media so really we should rethink but they're private companies so that's how that conversation goes every time all right ladies and gentlemen I think I've come to the end of my most magnificent live stream I'd like to drink a toast to you those people who are at the top five percent the people who know what's going on so you've seen the gears of the machine you can see the manipulation you can see the fake entities that support the other fake entities you know what a wrap up smear is you know what propaganda looks like and how to spot it you know the Tells for cognitive dissonance and you are probably the people who can keep this country running I I was I was asked by uh uh Michael malice so and don't ask me when the podcast is going to drop but I'll let you know when I know so so I talked to Michael malis had a great conversation I think you're going to enjoy it um but I want to offer some optimism that I offer there which is most of the problems that we have right now in the country are the ones that have this long-term nature like you can see them coming for a long time and America is terrific fixing problems that they can see coming for a long time I call it the Adams law of slow-moving disasters if you can see it coming you're probably going to be able to figure it out because that's why we're still here there would be no humans if we were not really good at solving problems like that uh the ones that you worry about the ones that catch you off guard like the pandemic pick the best relationships not the best dilemmas I have to think about that oh the fetterman dress code all right let's talk about the fetterman dress code so I'm sure that uh the dress code was changed because of fetterman we all agree with that right but I for one would be perfectly happy to see which of my politicians decide to go casual to me that's just more information if you know what I mean did are you following right if if representative bobert shows up to her job wearing what she wore to the uh the play well then I'm going to modify my opinion of how serious she is right if if everybody wears a suit except for a fetamine I don't have a problem with that do you does anybody have a problem that he's the exception because it's not helping him is it is anybody saying you know I like the cut of his jib not so much because of his policies or his defective brain but rather his fashion choices are starting to work for me I feel that his rebellious look is part of something I feel good about I like to associate with that a little more closely now there's no problem there's nothing to be solved and my guess is two or three times you're going to see somebody in a polo shirt because they just came off the golf course to do an important Vote or something but otherwise nobody's going to care it will have no impact on your life and it is not the end of the Republic I don't think you're going to see casual Gene Friday in Congress and if you do well the ones who don't do that are going to look a little better probably is it disrespectful let me or let me debate that is it disrespectful to dress down for for one person who's kind of a special case here's what I think fetterman um this is going to sound weird but just stay with me if let's say Steve Jobs were still alive and decided he wanted to run for the Senate and Steve Jobs famously would always wear his black turtleneck and mom jeans now suppose he won and he won the Senate and he said you know what I want to keep wearing my outfit it's like my uniform would you be okay if there was a special case for Steve Jobs to wear his turtleneck and jeans would you be okay with that but would you find it disrespectful would you find it disrespectful when somebody's brand is that they don't dress up for anything this is brand you would okay all right so that was a good test just to see if you're consistent um I don't have an opinion on it yet I'm just being making a point here's my point if you generally just drop the the dress code for and everybody was part of that and everybody should have started showing up in casual clothing that would be sub-optimal to me that would not be a good situation and I would agree with you completely but there's something about um fetterman that's different from all the rest fetterman had made it his brand it's his political brand to dress like that under that unique situation in which is your long-term political brand I'm actually completely happy with an exception because and of course they'd have to make it something everybody could do because you couldn't you know you don't want to make it a rule for one person but I don't think the rest of the politicians are going to be dressing down I think the one guy who made it his brand will just keep doing his thing and if this guy had been Steve Jobs and I liked him more than I like fetterman I'd probably say the same thing and say you know what I'd make an exception for Steve Jobs because that's that's been his long-term uniform so that's a different situation than just normal people dressing down so I see it differently and it doesn't bother me at all actually it doesn't bother me at all and by the way I would like to point out that the best way you can keep your brain healthy and not propagandized and not brainwashed is sometimes you have to say a full-throated support for somebody you don't like if you can never do that then you're just brainwashed right this this isn't team play right now I I don't need you to agree with me on this it's not it's just not important I don't really care about the dress code but uh you should be able to do what I did not on this topic necessarily but on some topics you should be able to say I really don't like that guy but I'm going to support him on this one thing if you can't do that then you know about your own brain there's a problem yeah it's a good practice to just sort of routinely routinely see if you can support the other side just try to make your best argument for the opposite of your opinion and see what happens um the people who can see the gears of the machine do look crazy to the other people and but when when they're seeing you that's when they get that waking hypnosis look fetterman is lowering the bar for everything well I'm all in on Federal here's what I want the the Democrats have have taken let's say a sub-optimal situation because some you know several other members are just mentally incompetent at this point it's very sub-optimal so if I'm looking at a sub-optimal situation I could be annoyed you know I have a lot of normal feelings it's like ah sub-optimal why can't they be better than that but the Democrats have gone so far into the Absurd like the fact that they're still pretending that Biden you know is whole or that Kamala Harris is a backup none of these things are true these are or that they pretend phetterman's good enough oh he's fine he's fine none of this is true so we reached the point where I don't want them to stop doing it I don't want them to stop supporting these ridiculous things I want them to be anti-nuclear because it's stupid now there was a time when I think reasonable people could be anti-nuclear but with our current knowledge and the current technology it's actually just stupid and there are enough people who know it that watching them play out is going to be fun so you tell me tell me you wouldn't enjoy Biden running against Trump under the current situation which is that Trump is functional and Biden is not even close you wouldn't enjoy that you wouldn't enjoy Democrats slowly realizing that that you've been right about everything if you were watching Fox News yesterday you saw they were they delightfully or delightedly showed clips of prominent Democrats saying uh maybe we were wrong about this you know this Biden being ready to go you know maybe the maybe his age is a factor right so watching the the slow opening up of their minds or at least pretending to open up maybe they knew all along uh it's going to be hilarious when I watched Morning Joe you know come around to the Republican opinion on crime it was it was crime I guess the topic was crime so now the the Democrats are saying hey we should do something about crime and hey we should do something about the Border you tell me you don't want to watch an election where the Democrats themselves are saying uh I can't even support the Democrat because the border is open and crime is taking over the city how could I be on that team I want to watch it I I want Biden to be the candidate there's no chance he can win at this point let me say that clearly there's no chance Biden can be can win I mean they would actually have to kill Trump at this point you couldn't even cheat that much but by election day the Gap is going to be so big you know unless unless Trump does something so amazingly wrong but I think Trump has figured out now that just staying out of trouble is all he needs he just needs to bring the temperature down and not look scary Trump has one job one job only don't look scary don't look like a authoritarian do you know what an authoritarian would have said about uh abortion an authoritarian would have said I'm going to do a federal ban on all abortions and then you'd be right back where you were where he's the dictator who wants to take control of women's bodies and you lose and you lose that's a guaranteed loss 100 guaranteed loss would be Trump saying he wants a federal ban on all abortions no way he wins in fact I would I would stop even being interested in the race at that point I would actually I would actually lose all interest because you would know what would happen they would they would the Democrats would knowingly elect a corpse before they would let a federal ban on abortion they would knowingly with complete awareness of what they were doing elect an actual corpse if that was their option and that's not a joke you think Scott Galloway was talking about banning Tick Tock before I was you better do a fact check on that why don't you do a little fact check on that that's funny it's funny that you would even think that all right that's all I got for today and I'm gonna be uh let's see it was tonight I'll probably be on Man Cave tonight for the locals people yeah oh Galloway humor Joe Blow he says that was Galloway humor nice nice Dad joke approved talk to you tomorrow

yeah

good morning everybody Welcome to the

highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

aren't you glad you're here because

today

if you'd like to take your experience up

to levels which have never been known to

human beings all you need is a cup of

micro glass a Tankard shelters dying the

canteen jug of flask of vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee

and join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure the dopamine of the day the

thing that makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous separate it goes

like this

ah

I feel that your oxytocin was just

activated

even from a distance it's one of my

powers

I wonder if you could increase some of

these oxytocin by hypnosis

I'll bet you could

I'll bet that's actually possible

but let's talk about the news

so there's a new way that AI is being

trained you know the old way was I would

look at words

and it would say oh if this combination

of words is more common

then it'll use it that way and so just

the combination of words created this AI

that we use now but you might also be

aware

that Tesla is using a video trading

thing so it's trading its cars to drive

autonomously

by just feeding it a gazillion videos of

cars driving

and it doesn't teach you any rules it

just shows that you know a bazillion

miles of driving and the AI just figures

out how to drive

by looking at how other people drive

but apparently that could be extended to

other things

so now there's something called a lbm

so the llm is the large language model

so that's trained on human words

and the lbm is a behavior model

so they are here's how they they train

it to make breakfast

they put the AI there and they say watch

this

and then they make breakfast in front of

it

and then they do it again a bunch of

times

and then it knows how to make breakfast

now it's only going to know what it

cooked and what you cooked in front of

it but it's actually learning tasks by

observation

I guess one of the breakthroughs is they

gave it a thumb that could feel like a

human hand

so if you've got at least one part of

the robot that can feel something

then the feeling you know adds to its

learning so it learns faster

but apparently you can just teach you

things it's already taught at a bunch of

things now my only caution to this is

the first time I read about this was

15 or 20 years ago

I think it was at least 15 years ago

that I saw a article that a a robot had

been trained to fold laundry

simply by looking at a lot of people

folding laundry I guess

but it never that robot never turned

into anything but it looks like it's the

same model you just show it how you do

it and it learns it

so that's pretty exciting maybe it will

learn to do everything

like I said the robots will take all the

manual labor jobs but then AI will take

all the the intelligence related jobs

but that still still leaves a lot of

room for humans

uh it's called crime so if you want to

get your criminal uh skills up to up to

date it might be all you have left

well Don Jr's uh account got hacked on

the X profile

uh and somebody had a good time uh

tweeting on his behalf

let me just tell you some of the things

that were tweeted from Don Jr's account

that we're not actually Don Jr

North Korea is about to get smoked

okay

and I'm sorry to announce my father

passed away

I'll be running for president

yeah and more like that I believe the Nu

n-word was a part of it yeah yeah he got

now that's hacked

that is hacked

do you know what weird I thought I had

basically yesterday and today

uh one of my devices I don't want to be

specific but one of my devices is

showing an indication that somebody's in

my phone

or in my account in some way

and you know there's a whole bunch of

things you can do

like you can you can get rid of your

phone and then you can put it on total

lockdown mode you can get rid of all

your prior apps and you know reload them

from scratch so I I know how to create a

clean phone

but the work involved in making sure

that my phone is clean

is more than the benefit of not of

having my privacy

isn't that weird

I actually compared the two and I

thought you know what

I just don't even need my privacy that

much

they win yeah they win exactly they win

when I looked at how much work it would

take to secure my phone and then what is

secured let me just give you a hint once

your phone is secured

the only way it could ever stay that way

is if you never click on a link again on

your phone

that's the only way if you click on a

link even if it comes from your best

friend

you don't know if your best friend got

you know taken by the same link

right so if your phone can't be used to

click on a link

it's almost useless because I use my

phone mostly for work related stuff and

it's it's just people sending me links

all day it's basically the only thing I

do with my phone look at links if I

can't do that I don't even need the

phone practically I I mean I'm

exaggerating but they actually got to

the point

we're actually at a point where there

are two things that I assume to be true

number one I'm definitely compromised

just because I do you know political

things in public I just assume

somebody's in there maybe more than one

entity I don't know

the other thing I assume is that if

somebody wanted to find out something

about me there's nothing that would stop

them

so I mean I could I don't really have

anything I can think of to hide but if

they wanted to find out more about me

I don't know that I could stop anybody

and the other thing is that the moment I

cleaned my phone

wouldn't I have to do the same thing

with all of my devices

from my you know iPads to my laptop

and if they were in any one of them

they're going to be into everything

right so it's basically a situation

where it's not actually practical

to keep hackers out of my private

information

it's actually not possible

I don't see any practical way I could do

that I mean I could do it for a minute

I could get a burner phone that would

have no utility

but I wouldn't be able to just do my

business and also maintain my privacy

those two things I don't think can

happen

two phones uh

yeah that's just too much trouble

yeah so I don't know

I think we're all hacked

all right I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about

a story and I'm going to try not to lose

my

like I'm really going to try hard

I'm just going to tell you the story

and try not to lose my shift

so this is uh I believe we're coming up

on the five year anniversary

of China killing my stepson

along with the cartels

um so my stepson died of a fentanyl

overdose five years ago

now in 2018 I said I was going to

destroy China

in Revenge

and if you believe Peter's Zion is

pretty much almost dead it's it's going

to fall apart any time

however this uh I'm sure that the my

feelings about China

also influenced my feelings about tick

tock

because Tick Tock is as many people said

digital Fentanyl

so to me The Tick Tock issue and the

fentanyl issue are just two ways that

China is killing Americans and

destroying America

so in my head even though they're very

different topics

they're not

they're not they're not different topics

so this is all by way of telling you I

do not have an objective feeling about

this topic

and I'm just barely containing myself

right now I'm just barely holding on I'm

going to tell you what the story is in

the Wall Street Journal today

about tick tock

I'm not sure I could even get through

this

uh honest honestly god I think I'm gonna

lose it

but I'll do the best I can just to tell

you the story

so this is a Wall Street Journal I think

I'll just read it

Washington Tick Tock has hardly any

friends in government

earlier this year

as the Biden Administration Congress and

State legislatures were threatening to

ban the Chinese owned a video Giant

now

would you agree that I was part of the

push to ban tick tock

I mean I don't know who was talking

about it harder than I was

in in some ways I feel like I might have

actually been the main influence I'm not

sure

but there were other people

all right so so here's the background

that Congress was against Tick Tock and

it looked like there was going to be

movement to ban it

and then do you do you remember it

didn't happen

and you kept wondering well what's going

on like why is it not happening it's so

obvious and then did you notice that

every time the politicians talked about

it

they wouldn't say that there was an

influence risk which is actually the big

risk they would say there was a data

risk and I kept saying why do you keep

saying data risk although that is a

small risk when the big risk is the one

you're not mentioning like why do you

keep doing that now the only thing I

could think of

is that some members of Congress enough

of them had been bought off by tick tock

because it looked exactly like

somebody had been bribed

and probably a lot of people have been

bribed

so that's what I thought at the time and

I think many of you can verify that I

said it publicly and probably a whole

bunch of times

right can can you verify that I said

publicly Congress must be bought off

because there's no explanation for this

observation all right now let me read on

let me continue reading on from The Wall

Street Journal

Tick Tock now has many more friends

how did Tick Tock get so many friends in

Congress

with something in common

backing from billionaire financier Jeff

yes

Yasss

they've helped stall attempts to Outlaw

America's most downloaded app

why would this billionaire care about

this app

why is a billionaire care about a tick

tock app huh well here's why yas's

Investment Company Susquehanna

International Group bet big on Tick Tock

in 2012. boy that was a good time to bet

on it buying a stake in parent company

bite Dance Now measured at about 15

percent so he owns 15 percent of bite

dance which owns tick tock that

translates into a personal stake for yes

of seven percent in bite dance

so he doesn't own everything that's

invested in it he owns part of the

investment it is worth roughly

21 billion dollars

that's one guy

one investor

one person

is worth an extra 21 billion now he's

already a billionaire

but that's most of his net worth

the vast majority of his net worth is

tick tock

right

um

and his whole his whole valuation like

the billionaire is worth 28 million 28

billion but 21 of the 28 billion of his

net worth is just tick tock

okay that's because just because take

time did so well

[Music]

let's go on yes is also one of the top

donors to the Club for Growth

the Club for Growth

well I wonder who that is

there's a Club for Growth it's an

influential conservative group that

rallied Republican opposition to a

Tick-Tock ban

gas has donated 61 million dollars to

the Club for Growth political spending

arms since 2010 or about 24 percent of

its total

according to Federal records

the Club for Growth made public its

opposition to Banning Tick-Tock in March

in an opinion article by its president

at a time when sentiment against the

platform among segments of both parties

was running high on Capitol Hill

are you ready for this part

oh it gets worse

this gets worse

Days Later Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky

stood up on the senate floor and quashed

an attempt to fast-track a bill by

Senator Josh Hawley

to ban downloading of The Tick Tock app

Senator Rand Paul

said quote we will be acting like the

Chinese government if we ban Tick Tock

here Paul said around that time

in June that's just a few months after

Rand Paul said that yes donated 3

million to a political committee backing

Paul

including that contribution Yaz and his

wife Janine have donated more than 24

million to Paul

or committees that support him since

2015.

according to Federal records Club for

Growth has given Paul

and supporting political committees

one eight 1.8 million since 2020.

it was exactly what it looks like

it's Rand Paul

now

let me give you a little bit you know I

want to I want to show both sides

Rand Paul is unique in that he's more

libertarian

right Libertarians don't like

governments interfering with their

business

do you think that's what's going on do

you think Rand Paul is simply being a

good libertarian

and he's just being true to his his

belief that the government shouldn't get

involved in Banning stuff

yeah well let's look at his statement we

will be acting like the Chinese

government if we ban Tick-Tock here well

that's correct isn't it isn't that

correct

they would be acting we would be acting

like the Chinese government if we ban

tick tock do you know why that would be

like the Chinese government

because the Chinese government bans Tick

Tock in their own country

because it would be damaging to the

children

so yes we would be acting like China

because China is acting correctly

they're protecting their children

does this sound like a real opinion that

Rand Paul has

do you believe this is his literal

literally this is just his whole opinion

well

to me it looks exactly like what it

looks like that he has bought

that China owns China indirectly

through the billionaire

owns Rand Paul

and Josh Hawley we should conclude is

not owned by China

because Josh Hawley tried to kill it

and Rand Paul stopped it from being

killed

now why did why did it take so long for

me to learn this

why did it take so long for you to learn

it and by the way big big props to the

Wall Street Journal for doing the

article I I should have noted the

authors

but I recommend it just go to the Wall

Street Journal and click on it see

what's up

so why do you think we found this out

now

I don't know

but I would hate to think it's because

Murdoch who owns The Wall Street Journal

and is a billionaire himself may have

some problems with this other

billionaire like like maybe it's not

even news

for all I know it could be just one

Billionaire's matter and another

billionaire and found out found a way to

take it out of them

so you can't really trust anything can

you

but at least we know more than we knew

before

somebody said give Rand Paul 48 hours to

respond

no

no nope

absolutely not

no no no no no no he's not going to give

48 hours to respond

um

how do you feel about that

how do you feel about the fact that Rand

Paul is your kids

for money

yeah he's your children for

money

I mean not physically him

but he is destroying their brains and

their lives

with tech talk

apparently for money

Now isn't it convenient that it also

matches somewhat his political opinions

that the government shouldn't be

involved but you know

you don't have to be much of a mind

reader

to know that's not what's going on here

follow the money it's very predictive

it's exactly what you thought it was all

right now

let me change topics

let's see this was a situation where it

was very clear that the right thing to

do was to ban it very clear

right it's very clear

is there any other situation where it's

very clear what the right thing to do is

but for some reason Congress isn't doing

it

can you think of another one like that

yeah the Border that's right

the border is exactly like this

at least observed from the outside is

something in which you should assume

that Congress overwhelmingly agrees they

should be closed or controlled

and yet it's not happening

Tick Tock overwhelmingly was you know

people were in favor of banning it

but it wasn't happening

it's the same situation you can now

comfortably assume based on pattern

recognition and the fact that the

government is guilty until proven

innocent not the other way around as

long as there's lack of transparency

they're guilty you just have to assume

that

and so it seems that the cartels either

through some other billionaire or

directly

have enough control of our Congress

that they can make us do things we don't

want to do

yeah

so uh

you know I think it is fair to hear what

Rand Paul says in response

but if it's true that he he's the one

who stopped the ban I don't really need

to hear anything else

because there's no way in the world

he's dumb enough

to not know what he did

he knows what he did if the if this

reporting is true and you know it seems

incredible to me it's a credible source

talking about public information

so you know how wrong can it be

but we'll see I mean maybe there's more

to this story but at the moment it looks

like Rand Paul has just bought and paid

for

that's what it looks like

do you all agree with that

interpretation there Rand Paul is just

bought

I'm seeing it now

all right but let me ask you this those

of you who are saying no

I know it's because you you have good

feelings about him and so so if I up

until this point

but it's going to be a little hard to

ignore this

pretty hard to ignore this

wow there's a lot of people who still

want to back him even knowing he's

operating against the United States

but you understand he's operating

against the interests of the United

States in probably the most basic way

that is destroying the country

do you don't you don't think that Tick

Tock is the main reason the country is

if you haven't been paying attention if

you don't think it's the main reason

it's the main reason

our youth has been destroyed their minds

have been turned into

by this app

and and others like it but it's a

primary one

so what else is going on

um the ex-prime minister of New Zealand

yes and uh ardern

this is Jonathan turley's tweeting about

this and writing about it

uh

she's turned down to be the number one

voice for censoring free speech

is that amazing that the prime minister

ex-priminister in New Zealand is like

giving talks at the United Nations and

she's just directly is against free

speech

she says misinformation must be stopped

and the government gets to decide what

is misinformation

what is that

that is the end of free speech how in

the world does she not know that

what would you assume about

somebody who has an opinion that is so

objectively and obviously bad for the

world

you have to assume she's owned by

somebody who has some financial interest

you could not assume that this is a real

opinion

does anybody think this is a real

opinion that the government should be in

charge of what's real

do you think she's really believes that

that the governments

should tell everybody what's true

really you think she really believes

that

because you know who believes that

nobody

there's nobody who believes that there's

only people who want to want their

version of Truth to to be Supreme

you know if if Republicans somehow won

all branches of the government

do you think that the Democrats would be

saying you know you've got to listen to

the government when it tells you what's

true no they would say that the

government is lying because it's all

Republicans you should really listen to

Democrats

but when the Democrats have you know

sufficient control of the government

then they say you should listen to the

government coincidentally Democrats

right so none of this is about

information or misinformation or your

health

it's complete control it's just a

control play

like so many other things are

well if you were a subscriber to Dilbert

reborn either on the locals platform or

you could subscribe on the X platform

just hit the subscription button to see

Dilbert every day the spicier version

that's not censored by anybody

uh but you would be amused to know that

dogbert has started a

non-profit organization called the

dogbert defamation League

and his business model is accusing

corporations of uh being racists unless

they donate to the dog defamation League

yeah unless let me tell you business is

booming

so that's what you're missing

if you're not subscribing to

the Dilbert reborn comic

well uh Louis CK made the terrible

mistake of trying to talk about

something that mattered

and every now and then you wonder how

dumb people can be who seem otherwise

successful and smart

and

Louis CK explained why he was in support

of open borders I think it was on Joe

Rogan's show and he said quote my

feeling is that we should open it let

everybody pour in

but then there will be all these

problems yes there should be it

shouldn't be so great here in America

and he goes on to explain that because

America is doing so well

and other places are not doing as well

that it's not fair that we keep all our

good stuff

that we should let them in to have our

stuff

do I need to spend even 10 seconds

describing why that's the dumbest

opinion in the history of all opinions

in the world since the beginning of the

universe and the big bang and possibly

before the Big Bang when there was

another timeline that existed in

no I don't

I don't that is so dumb

that one wonders what does somebody's

face even look like when they say

something like that

so I captured a screenshot Louis CK as

he was describing

his uh erudite ideas

so here's the picture I swear I this is

not photoshopped

he actually looked like the

pointy-haired boss in Dilbert

he actually looked like the pointy air

boss when he said it

now

again this is not photoshopped

you know it's unfair to catch somebody

in mid-speech because their you know

their mouth will be funny like like that

but that's actually his picture

now have you ever seen a a face that

matched an opinion better than this one

right so if you didn't see the picture

and I said he was in favor of open

borders because we have too much

you'd say

who said that

and I would say a person that you

thought was a reasonable person

and then you say who

and I'd say well let me show you a

picture of the person who said that and

then I'd show him this picture and then

you would say oh I get it now I get it

oh wait I can put my own picture next to

it oh my God I can make the reflection

I can make him turn into me

are you seeing this it's different on

the two platforms

I can make him talk

we should open the mothers we should

also to the mortars

okay

that was weird

well uh let's see there's a new

investigation that's going to be opened

on Elon Musk oh what a big surprise it

turns out it was a bit of a a hunting

trip to find that if they could find any

bad stuff on Elon Musk to shut him down

so let me see if I get this right so

Congress wants to promote Tick Tock for

which some members are getting paid

uh and you know indirectly

um

but it wants to kill Twitter probably

because it's the last place you have

free speech in the United States

in any practical way everything else is

just narrative and and

but now he's being investigated for

the the allegation doesn't even make

sense to me

so I'll tell you the allegation but I'll

tell you also I'm positive this doesn't

make sense

so the allegation is that he was that

musk was going to use Tesla as like a

private piggy bank

to pay for what would be you know an

elaborate home he was going to build

some kind of a glass home now I don't

know if that ever happened I think maybe

there was some movement on it maybe it's

not happening now I don't know

but do you believe is there any part of

you that believes

the Elon Musk who's running a public

company right has shareholders in that

he he was going to take some Untold

millions of dollars just out of the

shareholders money

and he was just going to buy a house

with it

because that's what's been reported

that he was just sort of expensing it

off of Tesla

does that sound even slightly true

no it it doesn't there's not even like

like 0.001 width of that possibly being

true

but do you think that the public is

aware that there's basically no way that

could happen in a public company

there is no way that can happen in a

public company

it just couldn't happen

but but that's the news the news is

saying that maybe it happened it's crazy

all right well if there's more to this

than I know I'll update it

so there's a new study they did some

brain Imaging

and they found that people who were

likely to be obese

have a heightened neural sensitivity to

reward

so people who overeat

uh get more benefit from overeating it

just it feels better

have you heard have you heard that

opinion from anyone who was let's say

not a research scientist

somebody who wasn't an expert

yeah me

as I've told you a number of times and I

love telling this story because it's

when I learned probably the best lesson

I ever had in my life

I was

and I was taking hypnosis class and the

instructor was overweight himself

and you know I don't know if you call

him obese but he was in that

neighborhood and

he explained why even though he's a

hypnotist

you know he couldn't be hypnotized to

quit eating

and here was his entire explanation of

everything you need to know about diets

and dieting

I like to eat

that was it

I like to eat

and he said if he didn't like it so much

he wouldn't do it

and the the extension from that is that

people who don't like to eat as much are

going to be able to control their their

weight now I'm perfect example

I am currently actually I overshot my

Mark I'm actually below the way I would

like to be at the moment I could

probably add two pounds but

I got there effortlessly

by just not eating bread for a while

that's it I just took bread out of my

diet nothing else just any bread and

lost 10 pounds right away now

do I sound like somebody who's like

obsessed about food no I'm not a foodie

I don't like dessert you know I'm just

not drawn to it

it's the same reason I'm not an

alcoholic

you know I am not an alcoholic

I don't enjoy alcohol as much as

alcoholics do

you know I'm not fat

because I don't enjoy food

as much as other people do

and that's it

once you understand that one sentence I

like to eat

that's the explanation of every

everything in the world if you believe

there's this thing called willpower that

doesn't make sense

because you could say yeah yeah maybe

you like it better but you use your

willpower you just got to ramp up your

willpower a little higher just get a

little more willpower

there is no such thing as willpower

or free will

they're only competing um things that

you like to do or you're afraid of

that's it the things you want to do and

the things you're afraid of there's

nothing else

and if there's something you're not

afraid of and you want to do it you're

going to do a lot of it

and if that happens to be eating you can

eat too much

everything can be explained by simply

competing levels of Interest how much

you want something it explains your

entire all Behavior All activity all

human activity everything you see can be

described by people follow the thing

they like the most and they fear the

least that's it you don't need any free

will or willpower or any of that stuff

you can explain all observations

nothing's left out

anyway that's just another example

um

in which the people who are hypnotists

have learned what science is learning 40

years later

and it's all right right I may have told

you this about the large language models

that as a hypnotist I'd learned 40 years

ago that people don't have actual

thoughts like reason

that they just put words together and

then they say later well that was a

reason

and that's what the large language

models taught us 40 years later yeah

hypnosis was way ahead

of all the brain science and it wasn't

because there was a science to hypnosis

it was just trial and error and it

became obvious what a brain was if

you're a hypnotist if you weren't a

hypnotist you believed in Magic oh I've

got a soul and Free Will and willpower

these are all just magical thinking

hypnotists don't see any of that in

practice they just see it like a machine

and then it explains everything

here's a horrible Trend that you knew

was going to happen but I'm going to

give you the optim most optimistic take

so over in Spain there are dozens of

girls reporting in school that people

had generated uh AI based nudes of them

so they were fake but they were AI made

so they looked probably they probably

took a photograph of the real face and

then added the nakedness to it so of

course it's a huge

psychological traumatic experience as

you imagine it would be but by the end

of this year

every girl in high school will have an

unauthorized AI nude

of them because their friends will be

happy to do it all they need is to take

an app and take a photo and drag it in

and push a button and you got a nude

picture of your your classmate of course

everybody's going to do it of course

they will there's nothing that can stop

it and and it wouldn't even be illegal

to do it privately for your own purposes

um

I don't even know if it's illegal to

pass it around but I bet you could find

a law that violates

if it's not the actual person

then it wouldn't have the same criminal

problems as a picture of the actual

person but it would be abusive

so if there's blackmail involved I guess

sometimes there's blackmail involved so

there would be lots of crimes that they

could hit without it being an actual

picture of the person I guess

yeah there's nothing that can stop it

but here do you want to hear the

positive thing

here's the positive part of that

in theory as The Fakes get better and

better

two things are going to happen number

one you will get bored by it

imagine the first time you see an AI

picture of one of your classmates and

you're 14 years old you're 14 years old

you're like oh this is the greatest

thing I'm going to send it to all my

friends

and then they say what app did you use

and they're like oh we got to make some

more of these I've got somebody else I

want to do this to so you do a few more

of your friends and you know it's trauma

and it's psychological damage it's

terrible

and then a few more people do it because

it's easy and a few more people do it

because the other ones didn't get caught

and pretty soon

you will literally be bored when you see

another AI nude picture of your

classmate

it's just going to be like another meme

it will just be a meme

and you'll just be Boop now you might

say to yourself oh this one's really

funny and you might send it around

but nobody's going to believe it's real

you see where I'm going

pretty soon and very soon even the real

pictures of you nude will be regarded as

fake because the fakes look like the

real ones so you could get to the point

where nobody cares

that even an underage person has has a

picture floating around because people

would just assume it's Ai and they will

or that they don't know and they'll also

be completely bored by it they will be

completely bored by it you'll see a nude

of your best friend and you'll be like

so

it's not a real nude

yeah I've seen 50 of these

so yeah I I think that it will be

terrible for a while and then we'll just

get used to it and it won't be such a

thing

all right uh Christopher Ruffo I think

I'm pronouncing that right our UFO is it

rufo or Ruffo

does anybody know

I'd like to say it right

ooh rufo okay I think it's rufo but he

likes dunking on uh Ibrahim Kennedy who

are let's say uh

what would be the right word

um policy wise they would be opposites

right so Abram is the anti-racist guy

who many would say is actually just a

racist

so

uh rufo tweet says Ibrahim Ibrahim ex

Kennedy has admitted defeat in the

latest edition of his book Kennedy has

deleted his most famous quotation I

guess I used to say the only the only

remedy to racist discrimination is

anti-racist discrimination

and that rufo says he blames white

people for making him look racist

he recommended racism against white

people and then blames white people for

making him look racist

and then you know I'll remind you of the

other news that Kendy had some kind of a

anti-racist center that had been

partially funded by I think Jack Dorsey

and some other entities and he had a

little staff of people doing anti-racist

stuff

and the staff ended up complaining about

him

so he actually created a group of

professional complainers and then it

turns out oops

you got a bunch of professional

complainers on your staff I mean who

would have seen that coming you hired

professional victims

they were literally people who were

primed to be victims and you hired him

and then they said that they were

victims working for you

who who could have seen that coming well

I'll tell you who could have seen it

coming anybody who understands how cause

and effect works do you think Louis CK

understands how cause and effect works

when he says open the Border

he actually couldn't game that through

in his mind to understand what the cause

would have affected he actually couldn't

do it

and almost anybody could do it I mean

I'm sure I could get a 12 year old to

game that out or if you open the borders

tell me what happens next he couldn't do

it

he thought everything would work out

okay

um

anyway that was fun to dunk on candy

I do feel like there's some kind of a

corner being turned on all the Dei and

CRT and the SG stuff it's way more

obvious than it's destroying the world

now right

it's completely poisoned uh race

relations

and it made it basically it uh it made

it dangerous for white people to be

around black people who had been trained

to

complain about you

which again has nothing about there's

nothing about being black has nothing to

do about your DNA it's nothing about

anybody's genetics but if you happen to

be a group of people who have been

trained to demonize another group

well if you're the demonized group you

should get some distance from that group

if you can as far away as you can

it's not really possible for that

that's hyperbole

all right

have you ever seen anybody criticize me

for having an opinion on something on

which I'm not an expert has anybody ever

seen that anybody ever see me say but

Scott you're not an expert on that

every day every day now I defend myself

by saying I'm not an expert on anything

well

not any of the things in the news

usually but

I do have one one expertise

I'm pretty good at telling when

somebody's lying

and when it's and you don't

really need to be an expert in the field

to recognize would you agree

they're recognizing is my

expertise

I mean I do it every day you can you can

look at my track record yourself

I think it's the best there is by far

actually let me ask you this for those

who've been watching me for a few years

is my calling of the best

you've ever seen

the best you've ever seen

yeah a wall of yeses for the people who

watch me the most it is the best you've

ever seen it's because the the hypnosis

skill set

plus my age

plus having a you know a business

background it gives you a lot of Windows

into things and so you can see the

a little faster

for example if you didn't understand how

business models work it would be harder

to spot

if you didn't know that follow the money

always works

you'd be confused about a lot of stuff

if you didn't know that the story that

grabs your interest the most in the news

wow I can't believe it

is almost certainly to be untrue

that's why it grabbed your interest

because it's almost certainly that's

untrue how about those Mexican uh UFO

bodies

could you look away for that for even a

minute the moment you saw UFO bodies and

found

didn't you stop everything

didn't you stop even thinking about

other things Zoop and look at that yeah

that's your tell that is fake

as soon as you found your brain hijacked

that's that's like an 80 to 90 percent

likelihood it's fake because real things

don't do that

real things are not that interesting

it's the fake stuff that gets you to

like what

yeah

so here's another one of those

situations when the F-35 went

missing with what the government is

calling now a mishap

uh I weighed in with my lack of

expertise saying this

nobody ejects from a plane that's still

at a high altitude you know high enough

that it's their normal flying altitude

and it's capable of flying another 80

miles

or at least a long distance we didn't

know it was 80 miles but it was

obviously flying on its own

and it wasn't flying directly to the

ground

so what I said with my total lack of

expertise is that it's very unlikely

that there was a catastrophic problem

because we would know that if the plane

blew up or or if or if let's say the

cockpit was full of smoke

it's the first thing you know

they would tell you that right away oh

there was a technical problem in the

plane

so we grounded the fleet until we find

out what it is to see if it's common to

any of the other planes

so you could know right away

that the the first level of was

you knew the government knew if the

plane had failed in in a normal way that

was just some kind of mechanical problem

right you would have known right away

because that's the first thing they

would have told you there was a

mechanical problem

the the pilot got down safely because

that would be like a success right if

the pilot got out safely after a

catastrophic mechanical problem

I think they'd want you to know that

that the system works well enough that

even if a plane fails which would be

kind of rare

pilate gets out alive that would

actually be more of a plus and a

negative you know if you thought about

it in its in its totality it's more of a

plus

um but we didn't hear that did we

so you knew something was going on

that wasn't the normal stuff the normal

stuff would be there's a problem with

the plane and it's catastrophic and so

the pilot got out

the fact that you didn't hear that

explanation right away the most normal

obvious one it could be

is a really clear signal there's

something else happening but the fact

that the plane was not near the ground

and was able to fly

when the pilot left is a very strong

indication that there's another mystery

involved

and now that it's being called a mishap

what does that tell you

so the the official word which was used

by

um

hmm who was who's the guy in charge

whose name I can't remember but

basically all the guys in charge are

saying and women in charge Kirby yeah

Kirby said mishap as well so mishap when

do you use the word mishap

under what conditions would you call

this what we know about it a mishap

well the first thing you'd have to know

is that they don't know the real cause

they're not sure the real cause

as possible as pilot error

and they don't want you to know that

that's possible so one of the

possibilities is is pilot error and they

don't want you to know it the other

possibility is they suspect it was

hacked but they don't know yet

or they suspect it was hacked they do

know

and they don't want to tell you or

they'll never tell you

but none of but the word mishap in my

opinion eliminates the possibility that

there was a catastrophic problem

because if there was a catastrophic

technical failure they would just tell

you

the pilot would say I don't know what

went on but major failure I have to get

out

and then they would say there's a major

failure we don't know what it is

pilot pilot lived

but they called it a mishap

so my indicator

was correct the first time

I'm positive now there was not a

catastrophic uh jet can't fly anymore

problem

would you give me that is it too soon is

it too soon to say that by

detector

accurately detected it was not a normal

catastrophic problem in the air

I think so so far it looks like I'm

right

without any expertise

except that I was once married to a

pilot so I I know that Pilots don't

think Pilots don't think of jumping out

when the plane can still fly

it's just not a thing

all right

here are some more Gears of the machine

so uh Joel Pollock writes about this in

Breitbart

so the Department of Homeland Security

and the secretary there is Alejandro

mayorcas

same same person who's in charge of the

border security

so the person that you don't trust

because he is in charge of border

security and appears to be doing nothing

like border security

looks like he's just letting everybody

in which might be more of a congress

problem or a president problem maybe

he's just doing what he has to do but we

don't trust him

because he's the person most associated

with uh lying about what's happening at

the border at the very least he's lying

about it I don't know what else he's

doing but he's certainly lying about it

and he's not doing anything to fix it

it's his job to fix it and it's our

biggest risk at the moment so you have

big questions about that don't you but

just to make you doubly suspicious

he's created some kind of an Advisory

Board the intelligence experts group

and it's comprised of private sector

experts who are going to give their

unique perspective on the federal

government's intelligence uh you know

entire workings

and two of the people that were

appointed to that were

John Brennan and James Clapper

oh my goodness

oh my goodness

now this audience is well trained I I

would say that the people watching this

live stream right now and the people who

watch it recorded are probably in would

you agree with this statement in the top

five percent of well-informed people

about politics when you say you're in

the top five percent generally speaking

right now as soon as I said these names

John Brennan and James Clapper everybody

who's been paying attention

all of your flags went up right whoa

whoa whoa whoa these are designated

Liars

I've already told you with these

specific names that when they tried out

the designated Liars there's something

terrible going on

so we don't know what the deal is with

mayorkas and we don't know what the deal

is with the Border we just know it looks

crooked

it looks crooked

and then to bolster his support he added

the two most crooked known Liars in the

intelligence world

now who would do that

who who would ever do that well it would

be somebody who knows that 95 of the

world won't notice

or will think that these are good people

to have in the committee

probably

but to me it looks like a criminal

Enterprise is just making sure that the

their criminals are on all the important

committees and Watchdog groups and fact

Checkers it just seems more of the

important people making sure that they

have their their their plants in all the

important positions now have I ever told

you that one of the ways the Machine

Works the Democrat machine is they

create fake advisory Watchdog think

tanks

they put their people there and then the

people that they put there say what they

want them to say and then the

politicians could say you know it's not

just me

I mean this Think Tank advisory

committee uh all these advisors they say

it too

so you know don't give me a hard time

I'm just taking expert advice

but it's not real expert advice

it's people that they put in these jobs

who are owned in some way either by

money or blackmail or common interest

and

and then they pretend to the other 95

percent of the public that there's some

kind of legitimate system and it's all

operating properly because they can't

they can't see the gears

but would you agree

that with the Rand Paul story about Tick

Tock you can see the gears of the

machine

it's really obvious what went on really

obvious

and with the Border

is it not completely obvious that the

intention is to keep it open with all of

the damage it will cause it's very clear

you know what I'm wondering

does somebody have blackmail on uh

Alexander Soros

or maybe even the his father

because there's no way to explain the

Soros donations and Elon Musk said this

he said you can't explain it

on any uh

based on any public information there's

nothing that we know publicly that

explains these activities

it it could only be

that somebody is trying to destroy

America

because you would never let the

criminals enter jail and open the

borders to the cartels

you would never do that no nobody who

understands as much as Alexander Soros

must understand about the world you know

by now he would he knows the gears of

the machine probably better than anybody

do you think that he would let this

happen unless he would unless he was

under duress

I think he's under duress

meaning that somebody has something on

him

because imagine if you could control the

entire Soros Empire

by blackmailing one person

now you know he's not doing it for money

because he has all the money in the

world

so what else would make you do something

that is obviously bad for you in the

world

blackmail

I can't think of anything but blackmail

that would do it so my working

assumption is that Alexander Soros is

being blackmailed because you couldn't

explain anything he's doing any other

way

there's no way to explain it

so that's my working assumption but I

don't have direct evidence of anything

like that

uh let's see if you can spot the

propaganda

I saw a

saw a tweet about a poll

and the poll says that uh both Democrats

and Republicans have an unprecedented uh

low trust in politics and their own and

political parties so

Trust

um let's make sure Trump doesn't get in

yeah so

do you think that's the way to frame the

story that the public has an

unprecedented level of distrust in

politics is that the right way to say

the story

say the same thing in the non-propicana

way

all right here's the non-propaganda way

politicians are so corrupt

that the public

now understands the level of corruption

and they've adjusted their opinion

accordingly

the story makes it sound like the public

has some some problem that they have a

lack of trust you know as if the media

is the problem like the suggestion is

there's something that happened in the

Public's mind you know maybe the media

you know maybe social media is like

pluting their minds so that they have so

little Trust

that is a backwards way to tell the

story the story is the government can't

be trusted and the public is catching on

why isn't that the way they write the

story

that's the true that's the most accurate

way to describe it

politics is bad and the public has

caught up

can you see the gears of the machine

even the polls whether whether whether

they collude to do it or they just know

to do it are part of the machine

to disguise from you the Badness of the

political system

all right uh here's my

provocative thing I'm going to add here

I'm going to make a claim that

you you'll have to fact check on your

own I guess and the claim is this that

as a trained hypnotist

I can identify people who were in a

waking trance

now waking trance means that you know

you're up and you're talking and you're

you you look like everybody else

you're just doing your thing

but if you engage somebody in a topic in

which they have been brainwashed

they immediately their their face and

their actions immediately go into a

waking trance mode

and one of the things that makes me

crazy is that once you're trained to

recognize it

you can't unsee it

so a lot of what you think are people

doing some kind of a political debate

nothing like that's happening they just

go into a trance mode and they repeat

what they've heard

now some of the Tells for somebody who's

in a waking trance mode

would be give you the telescope and

you've seen these all before but the

more I tell you the more more easily you

can spot them

uh do you ever see somebody who you give

them some Counterpoint to their point

let's say on the X platform they say

blah blah is true and then let's say you

give them a link with some credible

looking uh data that's opposite of their

opinion

do you ever see them say oh I didn't

know about that no what they'll usually

get is they'll get they'll show some

level of consternation

the consternation is a tell

because if you're just dealing with the

topic you would just deal with the

information and you'd judge it good or

bad or something like that but if you

get mad and go after the person who said

it oh well that's exactly what you'd

expect from a science disbelieving mango

person

right that's a tell for somebody who's

in The Waking trance they can't process

why what they're hearing doesn't match

what they've been prop brainwashed to

believe

so the brainwashing is causing them to

have an angry reaction to having the

brainwashing being challenged by facts

or Reason so here's another one um look

for the unusually high confidence in an

opinion which is word salad

so somebody will give you an opinion in

words and you look at the words and

you'll say well I understand how the

sentence makes sense

but not how the point makes sense it

looks like you just strung words

together and it looks like a pattern of

words I've seen before you know sort of

like the large language model because

most most people's opinions are assigned

by their preferred media and they'll use

even the same language to describe it

so if you see somebody with high

confidence

but when they describe their opinion it

sounds like word salad it's the

combination of the high confidence and

the inability to say anything that makes

sense that's a tell that they're an

Awakening trance

brainwashed and to use other words

um

but the other way is one that I can I

see but I can't explain how to to do it

what are the biggest skills of a

hypnotist is to observe the subject as

they're hypnotizing them and to see if

it's working or not

and you can tell if it's working

by very subtle differences in their

posture their breathing their skin tone

there might be a flushness there could

be you know little ticks in their bodies

so there's a whole bunch of things

wealth their eyes are open or closed

it's different but you look for just the

smallest towels of muscle ticks and and

posture and stuff

now when I have a conversation with

somebody who's showing these other tells

I'm usually also seeing it in their body

you can actually tell somebody's

brainwashed in an awaking trance if

you're trained to see it

so I have this terrible feeling that

many of you don't have

which is when I'm walking around in

public I can tell the not just walking

around but if you're having a

conversation with somebody about

politics you can see them go into the

trance

and you know the eyes will change and

the every their mannerism will change

and they'll just be in the trance yeah

the the Trump derangement syndrome

trance

now the the other thing that uh you look

for is the the wide-eyed if anybody saw

a Kirby uh talking to Martha McCallum

and he was being asked a series of

questions when when Kirby was telling

you something that was true and you

didn't have any doubt about it that's

true his eyes would be normal and he

would talk like this blah blah blah blah

blah blah blah this is true

as soon as he went into uh propaganda

mode his eyes would bug out like Adam

Schiff

and the and the bug eyes if it's

somebody who doesn't have bug eyes all

the time

when they're trying to tell you

something then their eyes go big

is because they know they're lying or

they know it's propaganda

and they're trying to use their eyes

to sell you what their words can't

right they use the eyes when they know

that the words are not convincing

when the words are convincing because

it's just something normal and obvious

he doesn't do that

but but watch Kirby's big eyes

that's another sign of somebody

brainwashing you so I have this terrible

experience

where it's like I'm walking around with

zombies and and people who are in a

hypnotic State and and propagandists

and if you think you're walking around

with a bunch of people who are listening

to the news and forming their own

opinions you're not even in my same

world

we are not in the same world

because I don't see anything like that I

don't see people listening to the news

and forming their own opinions

I see people who have been propagandized

and people who are propaganda people now

nothing's 100 right if there's a news

topic that you don't have any emotional

interest in there's a really good chance

you're just looking at the facts

but as soon as you introduce any bit of

emotion

any bit of caring any bit of team play

which is enough just team play Oh I

gotta win then everything goes off the

rails and turns into pure propaganda

people go into trans mode their eyes get

big

and there's nothing happening there in

the form of reason or reasoning or or

even honest debate

social credit scores I don't you know I

don't think anything could stop it

I I feel like

we're gonna have to start another

country

so you know how United States was formed

by a group of people who wanted specific

freedoms and religious freedom I think

was top of the list right and then that

morphed into other freedoms like freedom

of speech that sounded good

freedom of assembly

that stuff

so the country was formed because where

people were before they didn't have the

the freedom that they wanted

but unfortunately America has turned

into a

propaganda cesspool

so we don't have anything like free

speech you know you can get banned if

you if you even try

um and we're just taking people out for

like political things and something they

did 20 years ago which might have been

plenty bad but it's not a really a good

system

so it's almost like you know you want to

go to a green field and say all right

if you were the founding the founders of

the country

and you knew that the internet was

coming would you have done anything

differently

maybe you would one of the things you

might have done is you might have

written right into the Constitution that

Free Speech applies to all digital means

and it doesn't matter if somebody

privately owns those digital means they

cannot stop your free speech or

something like that but but to imagine

that the system that was built into

pre-internet world

should fit our current system is sort of

unreasonable it's unreasonable to think

that our current system is applicable to

the mass brainwashing Digital World

we're in So at the very least

we should rethink

free speech

like how do you protect it

and my view was is that the one and only

way to protect it is with Community

notes or a system like that so you could

imagine for example that Facebook

um and you know the other platforms

let's say the government said here's the

deal you know your platforms can you

know be anything you want because you're

as long as it's legal but the one thing

you can't do

is suppress opinions and not allow

context to be added to them

so you have to build a system like

Community notes that contacts can be

added to any political opinions or

medical or scientific and that uh that

the platform can't take them away

so if you're going to let people have

speech on your platform you have to let

everybody have speech in your platform

and there might be still some things you

know like

child related things that just have to

be banned but generally speaking you'd

say Free Speech means everybody gets to

talk anything they want as long as it's

legal and

you have to provide a context

tool like Community notes

now how different would things be

if everything out of context in it

like really really different

and there should be

um

some law that says you can't be for

example

demonetized based on an accusation which

is what's happening to Russell Brand

Russell Brand is being demonetized

because of an accusation

the serious ones

but unproven

very unproven in the court of law

so

yeah

so it seems to me that we either need to

start a country that has actual Free

Speech as we understand it in the

digital world or we have to make some

basic changes about what platforms can

do

because you know here here's a

conversation I'm really tired of

uh these platforms are suppressing free

speech

they're privately owned privately owned

platforms they are not required

to do what the government is required to

do

yes Dale

everybody knows that

everybody knows that so what you added

to the conversation was nothing

because everybody knows that

and still

while everybody knows that

we think that this is a new situation

and should be rethought and that perhaps

some controls or you know some let's say

guard rails would make sense in the

digital world

but they're private companies

yes but in a practical sense having free

speech isn't really meaningful if you

don't have access to social media so

really we should rethink but they're

private companies

so that's how that conversation goes

every time

all right ladies and gentlemen I think

I've come to the end of my most

magnificent live stream I'd like to

drink a toast to you those people who

are at the top five percent

the people who know what's going on

so you've seen the gears of the machine

you can see the manipulation you can see

the fake entities that support the other

fake entities you know what a wrap up

smear is you know what propaganda looks

like and how to spot it you know the

Tells for cognitive dissonance

and you are probably the people who can

keep this country

running

I I was I was asked by uh

uh Michael malice so and don't ask me

when the podcast is going to drop but

I'll let you know when I know so so I

talked to Michael malis had a great

conversation I think you're going to

enjoy it

um

but I want to offer some optimism that I

offer there which is most of the

problems that we have

right now in the country are the ones

that have this long-term nature like you

can see them coming for a long time and

America is terrific

fixing problems that they can see coming

for a long time I call it the Adams law

of slow-moving disasters if you can see

it coming

you're probably going to be able to

figure it out because that's why we're

still here there would be no humans if

we were not really good at solving

problems like that

uh the ones that you worry about the

ones that catch you off guard like the

pandemic

pick the best relationships not the best

dilemmas

I have to think about that

oh the fetterman dress code all right

let's talk about the fetterman dress

code

so

I'm sure that uh

the dress code was changed because of

fetterman we all agree with that right

but I for one would be perfectly happy

to see which of my politicians decide to

go casual

to me that's just more information if

you know what I mean

did are you following

right if if representative bobert

shows up to her job wearing what she

wore to the uh the play well then I'm

going to modify my opinion of how

serious she is right

if if everybody wears a suit except for

a fetamine

I don't have a problem with that

do you does anybody have a problem that

he's the exception

because it's not helping him is it is

anybody saying you know I like the cut

of his jib not so much because of his

policies or his defective brain but

rather his fashion choices are starting

to work for me I feel that his

rebellious look is part of something I

feel good about I like to associate with

that a little more closely

now there's no problem there's nothing

to be solved and my guess is

two or three times you're going to see

somebody in a polo shirt

because they just came off the golf

course to do an important Vote or

something but otherwise nobody's going

to care

it will have no impact on your life and

it is not the end of the Republic

I don't think you're going to see casual

Gene Friday

in Congress

and if you do

well the ones who don't do that are

going to look a little better probably

is it disrespectful let me or let me

debate that

is it disrespectful

to dress down

for for one person who's kind of a

special case

here's what I think

fetterman

um this is going to sound weird but just

stay with me

if let's say Steve Jobs were still alive

and decided he wanted to run for the

Senate

and Steve Jobs famously would always

wear his black turtleneck and mom jeans

now suppose he won and he won the Senate

and he said you know what I want to keep

wearing my outfit it's like my uniform

would you be okay if there was a special

case for Steve Jobs to wear his

turtleneck

and jeans would you be okay with that

but would you find it disrespectful

would you find it disrespectful when

somebody's brand

is that they don't dress up for anything

this is brand you would okay

all right so that was a good test just

to see if you're consistent

um I don't have an opinion on it yet I'm

just being making a point here's my

point

if you generally just drop the the dress

code for and everybody was part of that

and everybody should have started

showing up in casual clothing

that would be sub-optimal

to me that would not be a good situation

and I would agree with you completely

but there's something about

um

fetterman

that's different from all the rest

fetterman had made it his brand it's his

political brand to dress like that

under that unique situation in which is

your long-term political brand

I'm actually completely happy with an

exception

because and of course they'd have to

make it something everybody could do

because you couldn't you know you don't

want to make it a rule for one person

but I don't think the rest of the

politicians are going to be dressing

down

I think the one guy who made it his

brand will just keep doing his thing and

if this guy had been Steve Jobs and I

liked him more than I like fetterman

I'd probably say the same thing and say

you know what I'd make an exception for

Steve Jobs because that's that's been

his long-term uniform

so that's a different situation than

just normal people dressing down so I

see it differently and it doesn't bother

me at all actually it doesn't bother me

at all

and

by the way I would like to point out

that the best way you can keep your

brain healthy and not propagandized and

not brainwashed is sometimes you have to

say a full-throated support for somebody

you don't like

if you can never do that then you're

just brainwashed right this this isn't

team play

right now I I don't need you to agree

with me on this it's not it's just not

important I don't really care about the

dress code but

uh you should be able to do what I did

not on this topic necessarily but on

some topics you should be able to say I

really don't like that guy

but I'm going to support him on this one

thing

if you can't do that then you know about

your own brain

there's a problem

yeah it's a good practice to just sort

of routinely routinely see if you can

support the other side

just try to make your best argument for

the opposite of your opinion

and see what happens

um

the people who can see the gears of the

machine do look crazy to the other

people

and but when when they're seeing you

that's when they get that waking

hypnosis look

fetterman is lowering the bar for

everything well I'm all in on Federal

here's what I want the the Democrats

have have taken let's say a sub-optimal

situation because some you know several

other members are just mentally

incompetent at this point it's very

sub-optimal

so if I'm looking at a sub-optimal

situation I could be annoyed you know I

have a lot of normal feelings it's like

ah sub-optimal why can't they be better

than that

but the Democrats have gone so far into

the Absurd like the fact that they're

still pretending that Biden you know is

whole or that Kamala Harris is a backup

none of these things are true these are

or that they pretend phetterman's good

enough oh he's fine he's fine none of

this is true

so we reached the point where I don't

want them to stop doing it

I don't want them to stop supporting

these ridiculous things I want them to

be anti-nuclear because it's stupid now

there was a time when I think reasonable

people could be anti-nuclear but with

our current knowledge and the current

technology it's actually just stupid and

there are enough people who know it

that watching them play out is going to

be fun

so you tell me

tell me you wouldn't enjoy Biden running

against Trump under the current

situation which is that Trump is

functional and Biden is not even close

you wouldn't enjoy that

you wouldn't enjoy

Democrats slowly realizing that that

you've been right about everything

if you were watching Fox News yesterday

you saw they were they delightfully or

delightedly showed clips of prominent

Democrats saying uh

maybe we were wrong about this you know

this Biden being ready to go you know

maybe the

maybe his age is a factor right so

watching the the slow opening up of

their minds or at least pretending to

open up maybe they knew all along uh

it's going to be hilarious when I

watched Morning Joe

you know come around to the Republican

opinion on crime it was it was crime I

guess the topic was crime so now the the

Democrats are saying hey

we should do something about crime and

hey we should do something about the

Border

you tell me you don't want to watch an

election

where the Democrats themselves are

saying uh I can't even support the

Democrat

because the border is open and crime is

taking over the city how could I be on

that team

I want to watch it I I want Biden to be

the candidate there's no chance he can

win at this point let me say that

clearly there's no chance Biden can be

can win I mean they would actually have

to kill Trump at this point you couldn't

even cheat that much but by election day

the Gap is going to be so big

you know unless unless Trump does

something so amazingly

wrong

but I think Trump has figured out now

that just staying out of trouble is all

he needs

he just needs to bring the temperature

down and not look scary

Trump has one job

one job only don't look scary

don't look like a authoritarian

do you know what an authoritarian would

have said about uh abortion an

authoritarian would have said I'm going

to do a federal ban on all abortions and

then you'd be right back where you were

where he's the dictator who wants to

take control of women's bodies and you

lose and you lose that's a guaranteed

loss

100 guaranteed loss would be Trump

saying he wants a federal ban on all

abortions no way he wins in fact I would

I would stop even being interested in

the race at that point

I would actually

I would actually lose all interest

because you would know what would happen

they would they would the Democrats

would knowingly elect a corpse

before they would let a federal ban on

abortion they would knowingly with

complete awareness of what they were

doing elect an actual corpse

if that was their option

and that's not a joke

you think Scott Galloway was talking

about banning Tick Tock before I was

you better do a fact check on that

why don't you do a little fact check on

that

that's funny it's funny that you would

even think that

all right that's all I got for today and

I'm gonna be uh

let's see it was tonight I'll probably

be on Man Cave tonight for the locals

people

yeah oh Galloway humor Joe Blow

he says that was Galloway humor

nice

nice Dad joke approved talk to you

tomorrow
