Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you'll never have a better time than this. Today, sorry, but if you'd like to take this experience up to stratospheric levels, the kind that nobody can even imagine, all you need is a mug or glass, a tankard, chalice, urn, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Enjoy with me now.

Now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. This is called product placement, people. Yeah, it's a thing. It's just where your product just shows up someplace in the middle of your video. That's right.

If you have not bought my book, *Reframe Your Brain*, that's changing lives like crazy according to readers, you should. Also, I just want to give you a little tease. If you're not subscribing to either Locals or the subscription for my stuff on the X platform, then you're not seeing Dilbert reborn, and you will not see the exciting conclusion of what happens when Dilbert's mom starts dating a fan of Andrew Tate. I don't want to be a spoiler, but I'm just saying you can imagine. You can imagine.

All right, here's some stuff. Let's see, some sciency stuff that you didn't need to do the science. You should have just asked me. I think this will be my new category: Do we need to do a study, or could we just ask Scott and see what he says?

Apparently being a vegetarian is partly genetic, meaning that there are some people who don't metabolize fat the same and therefore meat doesn't give them the buzz that it gives other people and makes them sick. I'm one of those people. People ask me why I stopped eating meat. I do eat fish these days, but I stopped eating meat because I got a stomach ache every time I did it, like a huge stomach ache. So I might be one of these people. But you didn't really have to ask me if being a vegetarian is genetic. Is there anybody who thought it wasn't? Did anybody think that being a vegetarian was simply a lifestyle preference? Of course it's genetic.

Do you know what else is genetic? Alcoholism. Do you know when I knew that? About 20 years before science knew it, because it was obvious. Do you know when I knew that being a vegetarian, not for everybody, some people do pick it for lifestyle choices I'm sure, but did I know that some people were naturally vegetarians? Yes, I did. To me it was obvious. It's been obvious for decades.

About gay people having a different genetic makeup, was I surprised to learn that? No, because that was obvious for decades before science figured it out. So if you want to wait for science, you can, but it'll be decades after I tell you what's true.

Now, what about alcohol is actually good for you if taken in moderation? Well, science lied to you about that for about 50 years. But if you listened to me from the very start, I said nope, that's just science. There's no way that any of it's good for you, and now we know it's not.

Speaking of science, here's another study. I don't even know why I bother. Science is so ridiculous now. But there's a study by, see the lead author is Professor Wrath. He says that half of the population will develop at least one mental disorder by the age of 75. So in other words, half of Americans will have mental health disorders in their lifetime. Half.

So how do you explain that? Let me explain it. Follow the money. Follow the money. We now have this enormous industry that will give you a pill or give you therapy or make you watch some TikTok videos or something else. So once we monetized mental health disorders, were you going to get more of them or fewer of them? You were going to get a lot more. Yeah, everything you form a group to look for, you're going to find more.

When the ADL was formed to look for bigotry, do you think they found any? Well, there was plenty to find, but do you think they found any that wasn't really there? Oh yes, of course they did. So you're going to find everything that's there and a lot of stuff that isn't there if you're looking.

But on top of that, I do think our entire system makes people mentally ill. There's definitely a difference in mental illness compared to when I was a kid. Or here's the other possibility: If nobody told you you were mentally ill, would you know it? What if we had just as much mental illness before but there were no names for it and we were not all familiar with all the various types?

If you sat me down and said, Scott, make a list of all the potential types of mental illness, I could have a pretty long list. Do you think I could have done that when I was, I don't know, 15? No. I would have thought, let's see, I've heard of schizophrenia and maybe fear of crowds or something, and I wouldn't have even been able to come up with three, I don't think. Depressed? I don't even know if depression was a thing when I was a kid. I don't remember anybody who said they had it, or anxiety, any of it. I don't remember any of it as a kid.

So what if everybody had those problems but if they didn't have a name for it they just thought it was that happens in their head and maybe other people have it in their heads and we're all just different? And I also wonder, if half the country has a mental illness or disorder as they call it, who gets to determine what's normal? You know, where's that line of normal? If half the kids have a mental illness at some point, it just becomes who we are. I mean, aren't we all a little bit crazy one way or another anyway?

I got questions about these numbers, but it does seem like there are more mentally unhealthy people for one reason or another.

So how many of you have seen the clip of Bill Maher? He went on a few different talk shows and he talked about how the Democrats are poorly served by their own news, which is interesting to hear a Democrat or somebody who leans Democrat say that they were poorly served by their own news. The example he gives is that when people were asked what are the odds that you would end up in the hospital if you got COVID, and apparently people on the left, political left, thought it was a really big number, and the real number is you know under 2%. Now that was a really good example of where their news has completely bamboozled them. I mean just wildly.

But is there anything else like that? How about if you were to ask, I'm just guessing, but if you were to ask the Democrats and Republicans if the number of deaths from extreme weather have gone up or down recently? I feel like, I don't know this, but I feel like Democrats would say oh yeah, that extreme weather from all the climate change, so there's more extreme weather because there's more climate change. More extreme weather equals more deaths. Yes, there must be a great increase in the number of deaths. The reality is it's at an all-time low. Do you think they would know that? Yeah.

How about the hoaxes? If I ran through the list of the hoaxes: fine people hoax, the drinking bleach hoax, you know, just go down the list. How many Democrats would recognize those as hoaxes? They wouldn't, because the news told them they were all real. So they wouldn't know any of the hoaxes. They wouldn't know the most important elements of climate change, which is their biggest issue. They wouldn't know about hospitalization for COVID, the biggest thing that happened in the country for years.

And then there's another one. I just saw some statistics. People were asked how many people were killed by police who were black in 2021. So the survey was 2021. Forty percent of liberals thought the number was over a thousand in America per year. Forty percent of liberals, people who were very liberal, thought it was over a thousand. The real number was 11. It was 11 people. And how many of the 11 had it coming, meaning that if you knew the details you would have said to yourself, oh well I can see why they shot those 11? How many of the 11? Probably at least nine or 10. You'd look at it and say yeah, they definitely should have been shot. So the number who were shot who should not have been shot, maybe two out of thousands and thousands and thousands of arrests. Still too many of course.

But conservatives didn't say that. Only 16% of conservatives thought it was over a thousand, which is way too much. What conservative thinks that the number of black people killed by police per year is over a thousand? Sixteen percent of conservatives.

Now if you asked what is their primary news source, what do you think they'd say? Probably not Fox News, probably not Breitbart. They'd probably say, see you that it's probably their primary source of news. There must be a lot of households where you've got a conservative and a liberal in the same house and one of them controls the TV so the other person doesn't see real news. So there might be a whole bunch of conservatives who think they're seeing real news on CNN because their spouse watches it. Just a guess.

So I would like to see a more comprehensive survey to see if people on the left or the right are even informed about the important stuff. You know, other questions you could imagine would be is Generation 3 nuclear energy more or less dangerous than the alternatives? You know, stuff like that. You know conservatives would know that Generation 3, there's never been a death. Never. Those are the new ones that you would build today. If you started today it would either be Generation 3 or 4. Four would be built in a way that it couldn't melt down no matter what happened. Three could, but they've done them so well that none has had a catastrophic problem.

How many would know that?

Some new information about college degrees. The percentage of young adults who said that a college degree is very important is now down to 41%. It was 74% over 10 years ago. This is in the New York Times. So 10 years ago three quarters of the country said oh yeah, college education is important, and today 41%. What changed? What changed in 10 years? College became worthless, that's what. In the last 10 years college went woke and became ridiculous and way too expensive. So the price is going way up, the value you get out of it is way down. Who would want to send their kid to a woke college? Well, woke people I guess, but the rest would not want them to come back all wokenized.

Do you remember the other day I told you Bloomberg had done a study that said after George Floyd was killed that the Fortune 100 companies, their new hires, only 6% of them were white? And it was outrageous because it would look like they were all overcompensating. Do you know how they got that 6% number? Well the Daily Wire did a little deep dive and looked into it. Here's how they got the 6% number: It's something called not knowing how to do math at all. That's the whole story. The numbers are not even close to 6%. It's actually closer to the way it's always been. So the real story is nothing really changed after George Floyd in terms of hiring, which is good news in one sense because there wasn't an overreaction. Now if you think that the baseline was good, that's a separate question, but there wasn't an overreaction. There was some small statistical difference.

So once again we learned that journalists can't do math. We've always learned that scientists can't do statistics. I mean the fact that two highly qualified statisticians, that Martin called off and Nate Silver, are having a total disagreement about the same set of data, they're looking at the same data and they can't decide what it says. Two of the best in the business. So there's almost no data that's useful, and it's really hard to accept that but it is true. Data is almost all motivated. It's motivated by somebody or it's just done wrong. And when it's done wrong it seems to agree with the motivation of the person who did it wrong. That's pretty consistent because otherwise you'd never see it.

But of course at least our climate change science is good, right? There's a new study that says a new study measured how much CO2 is released from rocks into the atmosphere. Rocks, that's right. So if it rains for example there's like a slight bit of erosion from rocks. It turns out that rocks could add as much CO2 to the atmosphere as volcanoes, and currently this process is not included in most climate models. So there's something as big as volcanoes, which are very big in terms of CO2, that are not included because they didn't know about it till now. It's the rocks.

So do you know what the plan is to prevent the rocks from off-gassing the CO2? They're going to bury them. You're going to bury all the rocks under dirt. Now I'm making that up. That's not real. They're not going to bury the rocks. It would just be funny, wouldn't it? Or ban them. Ban the rocks. They're going to make rocks illegal. Get rid of the rocks. Rocks must die. I think it would be hilarious to have a climate protest against rocks. Am I right? What would be funnier than that? Like actually get a permit, invite thousands of people and have them march: No more rocks! No more rocks! I think it'd be funny.

And do you know how much of the CO2 comes from BlackRock? Okay, that's a pun on BlackRock being a big company. Wasn't a very good pun. I just saw it in the comments and stole it. Probably should have held back on that one.

So we didn't include rocks in those models. Is there anybody who's been telling you for a long time the models can't predict the future? Not even a little bit. Not ever. Not in this case, not in any case. Yeah, but we believe they can.

Here's another story about Biden's dementia. So I guess an ex-ESPN host named Sage Steele, I guess she was on Bill Maher's show, the Club Random, and she said that interviewing Joe Biden was quote the saddest thing as he couldn't finish his sentences. So she said, forget about politics, I don't care, I didn't vote for him. Steele told Bill Maher she thinks he's a terrible president but she says however that made me sad, she said of his confusion.

Now another subpart of the story is that the Washington Post is running the story. So the Washington Post, as you know, likes their Democrats, but it's pretty clear that the word is going out that Biden will be pushed out. I think he's going to try to stay in there. I think the entire system is going to try to push him out, but they're going to try it too gently because they can't be too aggressive or too obvious. And I think his stubbornness will be greater than their subtlety. So I think he's going to stay even though his side is going to try really hard to push him out because he's an old demented man and he doesn't want to quit by saying he's demented. If you have dementia the last thing you want to do is say you know I'm going to have to step down because honestly I got a bad case of dementia and it's just getting worse.

So Sage Steele is a great name, isn't it? Your first name makes you sound smart, your last name makes you sound strong. Sage Steele sounds like a superhero name. Yes, Sage Steele. I like it.

All right, so this next category is the things that Trump was right about. Are you ready for this? Things that Trump was right about. I made a prediction in 2021 that the longer Trump was out of office the better he would look. Let's see if there are any examples in the real world of things that make Trump look better than he did.

Well as you might remember Joe Biden was very anti-Saudi Arabia and its leader the Crown Prince for possibly or probably ordering a bone-saw-related murder of a critic, which we consider a bad form. And so Biden was very, very tough on it, said Trump was some kind of a weird traitor for even doing business with that guy. Let's see if there's any news stories. Oh here's a scoop: Senior Biden advisers quietly visited Saudi Arabia last week and met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss a mega deal.

So Biden's going to do a mega deal with the guy that he said they can never do business with because he's a big old murderer. So I'm going to say that Trump was right, that even if you don't like what MBS has done or will do, that you might need to deal with them. So let's say Trump was right about that.

I saw this question from UnHoodwinked on X: What percentage of woke liberals would rather die by the hands of their publicly promoted ideology, in other words open borders and defunding the police, versus admit they were wrong and then work with the right to fix the problems?

Now what do you think? How many Democrats would literally, now we're talking literally, literally actually die? How many would actually choose a high, well not certainty of death but how many would choose a large percentage chance of dying violently rather than admit they're wrong? It's probably 90%. That's my guess, because that's how cognitive dissonance works. Until their final breath they would still think they were right. There would be no point that would ever change their mind because once you're really, really committed to an opinion you will actually risk your life so you don't have to change it.

You wouldn't take certain death. If I gave you a choice of all right yeah you can hold that opinion but in five days you will be dead for sure and we guarantee it, well that might change somebody's opinion because we have a survival instinct. But if you said there's a really higher chance you're going to get killed, like substantially higher, they would say I know but it's the principle of the thing. So no, I don't think the risk of being killed by their own policies would change their minds. I don't think that's how minds work. We just stick with what we thought was true and we never leave basically.

All right. IBM predicted not long ago, its CEO previously predicted that IBM would have to shed 30% of their workforce because AI would replace too many people. Do you remember what I've been saying? Does anybody remember my prediction about AI and employment? I said it's going to be more like the invention of the printer or the computer. We just find more things for people to do and then we hire them to do those things instead or do them faster.

But IBM now, after its CEO had said they might lose 30% of the employees to AI, says it foresees no layoffs due to AI and the company will hire more workers than it lets go. So it's actually going to grow workers instead of shedding 30%. I'm going to take credit for being right on this tentatively. I mean you'd have to see a lot more time and a lot more companies doing stuff to be sure, but I think AI will not affect overall employment. It will definitely change the mix of jobs like dramatically, but I don't think it'll change the overall employment rate by itself. So that's my contrarian prediction.

The Navy now has print-on-demand parts. So if you're on a ship at sea and something breaks you can't easily take the cruiser back to a port or fly something in easily. Now they can just print a part. They can actually just create a part and install it, and they've already done it once. They installed a crucial piece on one of its nuclear submarines. Now I don't feel comfortable with this. I don't want my nuclear submarines necessarily to have too many 3D printed parts if you know what I mean. It might have been maybe a part that wouldn't accidentally launch a missile so that would be good. Maybe fix the interface a little bit or something. But no I wouldn't want it to be one of the components of the nuclear missiles. So but I don't think we're doing that.

The most important news of the day is that Commander the dog, Joe Biden's dog, no Joe Biden not Biden, just seems like it should be Joe Biden. So that dog will be removed from the White House. I believe it's being accused of being a MAGA domestic terrorist because that's what they do with anything they don't like. And they had a few different ways to handle this but one was to remove the dog completely. But they also considered building a wall around it. Yeah it's called a cage. But they could have built a wall around the dog but they decided to get rid of it.

Now I don't know if you've put together two plus two but in the past week not only has Speaker McCarthy been removed from office but Commander the dog has been removed from the White House and that does leave us with no leadership whatsoever. It's quite a leadership hole we've created here because I'm pretty sure Commander the dog was in charge of domestic policy anyway.

Well let's see. I saw a post by Peter Zeihan on about Ukraine and he said this. He said all administrations have their blind spots. Ukraine is Biden's. So Ukraine is his blind spot. Now I'm thinking where's this going? Where's this going? So Ukraine is Biden's blind spot. But Peter Zeihan says luckily it is easy to make the case that aid for Ukraine is a core American interest. Biden just needs to address the nation just as Clinton did for Kosovo, W. Bush did for Iraq, Bush Senior did for Panama, and Reagan did for the 80s defense buildup.

So it's easy to make the case that aid for Ukraine is a core American interest. Is it? Is that easy? You think I would have heard that argument by now but I haven't. Have you? If any of you heard an argument why Ukraine is America's core interest? I've heard it's the only thing that will keep China from taking over Taiwan which I think is just laughably stupid. It's just laughably stupid. I'm not even going to address that. Would you agree the thought that whatever happens to Ukraine, the thought that that would have anything to do with China's decision about Taiwan? I'm not even going to talk about it. That's just too stupid. That's just too many levels of abstraction.

But the other argument is, let's see, I heard one argument from a politician saying but don't you realize that 30% of the world's wheat comes from Ukraine? To which I say why would that stop? If Ukraine loses the war is Russia going to stop making wheat or is it going to be one year of not as much wheat? I don't know. I'm not sure that that's it. And the problem in the United States wouldn't be people starving. It would be that the wheat cost I don't know 30% more so we would just eat less bread and would eat more vegetables. Is that a core American interest? That there might be let's say one year of low wheat production if something happened in Ukraine? That's a core American interest?

Now what about stopping Putin's war of aggression where if we don't stop him now he'll just keep taking over countries? Don't you think he just makes every decision individually? Or do we believe that he had this one big decision: I must take over everything. I'm just going to take over everything and it doesn't matter what the situation is. I'll take it over if it's bordering my country. Just going to take it over. Is that the way he thinks? Or might he look at every situation individually and his Ukraine opinion is different than his opinion of every place else? I feel like he probably treats them all as individual decisions.

Do you think that he would move on Poland? To me the Ukraine situation showed that his military can't conquer another country even one that he believed to be weak. He certainly can't take a NATO country. So I hear what Peter Zeihan says that it would be easy to make the case but I've never heard the case in a way that sounds even like a little bit plausible.

Now there's a trick that people do in the news all the time which is to imagine that there's only one choice and the choice that they imagine is we either support Ukraine or we give it all to Russia. Is that the only choices? What about the most likely choice? Why would you leave the most likely outcome out of your two choices? The most likely outcome is we say look we don't want to fund Ukraine anymore but we're going to if you don't do a peace deal that negotiates these border regions. The obvious other solution is you negotiate a peace that keeps everybody largely where they are at the moment and then you give some guarantees about the future etc.

But why do we think the choice is to fight forever or surrender when by far the most obvious thing is to say all right it's a draw. You know this should discourage you from invading another country because you can see that we can just stop you. So why don't we just negotiate peace, go back to business as usual?

Here's why you can't make a good case. Because the real case you can't tell the American people. Can you? The real reason they can't say out loud. The real reason is it's an energy war. We don't want Russia to first of all make all the money that our companies could make and second of all to have that much power over people by being in control of their energy. It's a pure energy war. If you made that argument to me, believe it or not I might be persuaded by it. It sounds purely evil but in the real world wars are about resources and usually energy and it's probably just a way to guarantee that America stays the dominant superpower for the next 50 years. Because if Russia got enough money from its energy production and got enough control over Europe you could really easily see how Putin could dominate Europe. It'd be easy to see. So there would be an argument but you'd have to say things that you can't say, which is yes Ukraine is totally corrupt but we'd rather make sure our energy companies get the business that would otherwise go to Putin because if he has the money he's going to do bad stuff with it. But you can't say that out loud because then it's an optional war.

All right of course we're going to talk about the border wall. So the head of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who's been very anti-wall as has Joe Biden been anti-wall, but now quote there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads. Huh. Physical barriers. What would be an example of a physical barrier? And what would be the way a normal non-jerk would say it? Probably wall. Yeah. But if you're as big a loser as this Mayorkas guy is you got to call it a physical barrier so you don't, it's not as obvious what a weasel you've been and how much damage you've done to the country by not having a border.

So I'm going to put this on the category of things Trump was right about that the other side had to pretend they were against because they could be against whatever he was for. And it couldn't be much more obvious than this one. So I would say that Trump has been right about police and needing more of them and don't defund them. He was right about the border. He was right about China. He was probably right about Iran. He was right about energy. He was right about a lot and it's getting more and more obvious.

So here are some of my predictions just to remind you. I said the Republicans would be hunted and there's a good chance you'll be dead in a year. And we can see the crime wave and people getting killed in cities especially that journalist recently makes us think that it's an unsafe place to live. But how about that Republicans would be hunted? Well the federal government is so concerned about domestic violence that the FBI has created a whole category of extremists and they're called Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers. That's right. The FBI has decided that MAGA people should be followed closely for being domestic terrorists and it's the FBI that will do it.

And my God, this is a Newsweek report. Something leaked. So Biden is trying to defeat domestic terrorism by targeting one political group for political terrorism. Do you think that you would make MAGA people less likely to bomb the Capitol by targeting them unfairly? I'm pretty sure this would radicalize more people than it would defuse. So this seems like the worst idea in the world. But here we are.

So I don't think we can any longer argue that Republicans are not being hunted. Would you all give me that that prediction which is pretty out of left field was right? This is clearly right. The January 6 people were obviously hunted. A number of public figures were cancelled for reasons that sounded like other reasons but really weren't. They were. It was about taking the better voices off the field. Yeah it's as bad as I said it would be.

And when I wrote that tweet I have to say I just felt it. You know I felt it like the moment before I wrote it. I just had this feeling. It's like oh the way they campaigned and talked about Trump it became very obvious that that rhetoric would translate into action that looked like this because they were saying it. They were saying it clearly from the start that MAGA people were terrorists in versions of that. So you could see it coming from a mile away and here it is.

See the FTC is going after Amazon. So apparently they had this special algorithm called Project Nessie that worked by manipulating rivals' weak pricing algorithms. So somehow what I think this means is either their own in-house products were competing against the professional products or maybe there was one they had a greater profit margin from so they would push that instead of the other one. But apparently this was bad behavior according to some people, the FTC, and it led competitors to raise their prices and charge customers more. So that was pretty sketchy. So we'll see if that was all true because it's subject of a court case so maybe it wasn't true. You never know.

So here's the funniest thing. I realized yesterday that, do you remember Adam Schiff wanted to be the next senator from California so he was in the House of Representatives but Gavin Newsom said he was going to promote a black woman to that job and then he did. And I just realized that Adam Schiff was passed over for promotion because he's a white man. Just hold that in your head. Adam Schiff, specifically him, specifically, he was passed over for a promotion because he's a white man. How much do you think he loves his team today? Oh yeah Democrats. Something tells me the next time he goes into the shift he's not going to lie. I think he got a little closer to being a Republican is what I think because that can only happen to you so many times before you start saying hey I don't think the intentions here are really in the right direction.

Yep, Adam Schiff was passed over for promotion because he's a white male. I just like saying that. And it makes me wonder where's the ADL? Shouldn't the ADL be defending him? He is a Democrat. They should be defending him against this discrimination but they're nowhere to be seen. Oh but they are advertising again on the X platform. I think they should have been kicked off the X platform but if they're going to give Elon Musk money I guess that's okay.

Jim Jordan, Representative Jim Jordan, who's been floated as the potential next Speaker of the House, he tweeted this yesterday: Does anyone feel safe in Democrat-run cities? Democrat-run cities. And I thought to myself what an interesting choice of words, Democrat-run cities. Because if I go into the city and I see a Democrat coming toward me I'm going to run. So Democrat-run, run. It's a Democrat-run city. Yeah that's what it's called, a Democrat-run city.

Well speaking of a lack of free speech, apparently Vivek Ramaswamy and Chris Christie had agreed with each other that they would go on a show I think on Fox and debate and the Republican Party shot that down and told them they couldn't do that. To which I say what? When did the Republican Party become the no free speech party? Like I get the Republicans have to act like Republicans and you want to be on the same team and all but seriously, seriously you can't let two people running for president debate each other on your TV show?

And when I first heard that Vivek was going to have a conversation with Chris Christie the first thing I thought was that might be the first time you saw a debate where something like a debate happened. The way the debates are done for the TV audience you know with seven or eight people up there and then the questions, maybe not the questions you would have asked, not really useful. I mean it's a good event, it's a show event but it's not really useful for voters. But to one-on-one where they could spend some time really digging into the other person's point of view, I would watch that all day. But apparently the Republicans won't let it happen. So there's your free speech group right there.

Karl Rove did this big editorial in the Wall Street Journal trying to mock Matt Gaetz for throwing Congress into chaos by outing the Speaker. And I read the whole thing and my only take on it was there's something wrong with Karl Rove. I don't know if I could go further but I read his thing about Matt Gaetz and it was his choice of words, his choice of words very clearly said that his opinion was and it was just some weird political thing that he prefers some, I guess he preferred McCarthy. But I kind of thought he was a straight shooter until I saw his editorial and it was just, it looked like a Democrat wrote it really. And you know what I mean right? It was tons of insults that weren't necessary to the point. You know it's like a little too hyperbolic. So I don't trust anybody but I definitely don't trust anybody who's mad at Matt Gaetz for kicking the Speaker out. You immediately lose my trust when you have a strong opinion that that should not have gone on because we could all see that the current situation wasn't getting us any results.

And we could all keep politics aside. If your Speaker makes a public promise to your own team and then doesn't keep it, it doesn't matter if he was effective in all the other stuff. That is grounds for removal period because it doesn't look like he ever meant to keep that. Maybe he did. Yeah maybe events overtook him so he was either incapable of delivering it or never meant to. So I'm very in favor of Matt Gaetz this week.

The worst attack on him I saw was one other member of Congress saying that prior to his marriage, and this is stated directly, prior to his marriage he once bragged about taking ED meds and slamming power drinks so he could go all night. Oh well I didn't know that he was aggressively, flagrantly heterosexual so that changes everything. He was super heterosexual before he was married so before marriage he had a lot of sex. I don't know I just I can't be okay with all that heterosexual single person sex. I mean that's just too far.

I should note that there are no criminal charges for anything. There are no criminal charges for anything he did but they're going to make fun of him for figuring out which chemicals allow him to have sex all night while you're sitting home eating popcorn with your spouse. So I'm pro-Matt Gaetz for all this stuff.

All right I don't know if this story is true but there's a story of the Ukrainian president Zelensky's wife when they were in New York. She allegedly spent more than a million dollars on Cartier jewelry at the same time Zelensky was asking for money and weapons from the United Nations. Now doesn't that one feel a little too on the nose? Do you think that really happened? It's definitely possible. I wouldn't say it's impossible. Definitely possible. But it's so on the nose right? Could there be a story that you know not since Imelda Marcos and her shoes has there been a story that was like just right on the point like that? Right on the point. I don't know. I'm a little skeptical of it. I'm going to say wait two days on this one. If in two days the story doesn't change it might be real but this one just has that feel about it. It has the feel of fake news just all over it whether it is or not. I don't know. Could be true. I give it two days.

Gallup says that the appetite for a third party is pretty high. Seventy-five percent of self-identified independents support a third party, support creation of a third party, which is weird because we have third parties already. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans endorse the idea and 46% of Democrats. That kind of suggests that RFK Jr. has a path. I always thought he was way more of a dark horse than he's been given credit for. If he goes third party, which I think he's doing primarily so he has freedom of speech so they won't ban him on social media, he actually could win. Yeah let me say it clearly. I'm not predicting a win. Not predicting it. But if he wins I want you to know I said yeah that's, there's a path. He just has a path. There are enough disgruntled people that if the only thing that happened is you saw lots of Trump arguing with Biden, whoever's not Trump arguing with Biden is going to look better every day. Just every day. Because both Biden and Trump will just be dumped on with everything and whoever is just going along and making a little news on the side. I don't like big pharma. Do you? No I don't. Oh well we agree on that. Yeah. I feel like he's just going to stay under the radar, maybe slip in at the end. It's possible. Not probable but it's possible.

And here's another story that I can't believe I think it's true but is it true that Trump's attorney accidentally checked the box that says they don't want a jury trial and that he's not going to get a jury trial because the lawyer checked the wrong box? That was fake news right? But is it a jury trial? So I think it's no jury trial but is the claim that the lawyer made a mistake the reason? That part's fake. So some of this is fake right? Some of the story. All right well I'm just going to say we don't know but that judge Engoron he's a little bit too happy. He seems to enjoy his job too much which makes you feel uncomfortable because he doesn't seem like he's as serious as you'd want him to be. I mean sure he's a nice guy. I mean when I see him I think oh I could hang out with him he'd be fun but he's not really sending a judge vibe that's going to hurt him.

All right and that ladies and gentlemen is my prepared comments. Is there any big story I missed today? What am I forgetting?

So Judge Jeanine said that no conservative would go for RFK Jr. Really? Well he definitely has policies that no conservative could approve but I don't know. I don't know. There may be just bad feelings. Yeah all it would take is Trump to do something that he's not done yet that was some new outrage and RFK Jr. would only be going up against Biden so I think he's got a shot. Has ideas that aren't insane. I don't know about that. RFK Jr. thought a border wall was racist until a month ago. What's the problem? Do you have a problem that there's somebody who changes his mind based on researching it himself and getting better facts? How is that a problem? He was in a bar band. All right fix his voice please. I might be able to do that. It's possible I could.

All right literally ask followers what they want him to fix.

All right ladies and gentlemen do you think Ukraine's in trouble because we won't be able to fund them? What do you think is going to happen in Ukraine? Are they going to get their funding? I think they'll probably be fine but one way or another it's going to be negotiated I think something close to the current border.

Klaus Schwab, what about him? I feel like you want to talk about Klaus Schwab every single day. He hasn't done anything new has he?

Could a judge or jury be better? I don't know. They'll use more advanced weapons if they have them. Dave Rubin says it's true. Well but did Dave Rubin see the form? I mean we're looking at the same stuff aren't we all?

All right secret followers. Oh I guess there's the clips of me with Russell Brand just dropped. The first clip, might be more than one clip, but if you want to see me talking to Russell Brand I guess that just dropped. Forgot the part what should be on YouTube probably Rumble as well. Run out of ammo.

All right YouTube thanks for joining. I hope you had a good experience and if you don't like all the commercials on here consider joining Locals. All right I guess you're going to go watch Den Den Bonino on Rumble now. Bye for now.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure you'll never have a better time than this today sorry uh but if you'd like to take this experience up to stratospheric levels the kind that nobody can even imagine all you need is a CER mug or glass a tanker chal's iron a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous zp this is called product placement people yeah it's a thing it just where your your product just shows up someplace in the middle of your video that's right if you have not bought my book reframe your brain that's changing lives like crazy according to readers you should also I just want to give you a little tease if you're not subscribing to either locals or the subscription for me for my stuff on uh the xplatform then you're not seeing Dilbert reborn and you will not see the exciting conclusion of what happens when Dilbert's Mom starts dating a fan of Andrew Tate I don't want to I don't want to be a spoiler but I'm just saying you can imagine you can imagine all right here's some uh stuff uh let's see some sciency stuff that you didn't need to you didn't need to do the science you should have just asked me I think this will be my new category do we need to do a study or could we just ask Scott and see what he says um apparently being a vegetarian is partly genetic meaning that there are some people who don't don't metabolize fat the same and therefore meat doesn't give them the buzz that it gives other people and makes them sick uh I'm one of those people people ask me why I stopped eating meat I do eat fish these days but I stopped eating meat because I got a stomach ache every time I did it like a huge stomach ache so I might be one of these people but you didn't really have to ask me if being a vegetarian is genetic is there anybody who thought it wasn't did anybody think that being a vegetarian was simply a lifestyle preference of course it's genetic do you know what else is genetic alcoholism do you know when I knew that oh about 20 years before science knew it because it was obvious do you know when I knew that being a vegetarian not for everybody some people do pick it for lifestyle choices I'm sure but uh did I know that some people people were naturally vegetarians yes I did to me it was obvious it's been obvious for decades uh about uh that uh gay people have a different genetic makeup was I surprised to learn that no because that was obvious for decades before science figured it out so if you want to wait for science you can but it'll be decades after I tell you what's true now what about alcohol is uh actually good for you if if if uh take it in moderation well science lied to you about that for about 50 years but if you listen to me from the very start I said nope that's just science there's no way that any of it's good for you and now we know it's not uh speaking of science here's another study I don't even know why I bother science is so ridiculous now but uh there's a study by uh see the lead author is Professor wrath he says that uh half of the population will develop at least one disorder mental disorder by the age of 75 so in other words half of Americans will have mental health disorders in their lifetime half so how do you explain that uh let me explain it follow the money follow the money we now have this enormous uh industry that will give you a pill or give you therapy or make you watch some Tik Tok videos or something else so once we monetized uh mental health disorders were you going to get more of them or few of them you going to get a lot more yeah everything you form a group to look for you're going to find more when uh the ADL was formed to look for bigotry do you think they found any well there was plenty to find but do you think they found any that wasn't really there oh yes of course they did so you're going to find everything that's there and a lot of stuff that isn't there if you're looking but on top of that I do think our entire system makes people mentally ill there's definitely a difference in mental illness compared to when I was a kid or here's the other possibility if nobody told you you were mentally ill would you know it what if we had just as much mental illness before but there were no names for it and we were not all familiar with all the various types if you sat me down and said Scott make a list of all the potential types of mental illness I could have a pretty long list do you think I could have done that when I was I don't know 15 no I would have thought um let's see I've heard of schizophrenia um and uh maybe fear of crowds or something and I wouldn't have been able to even I wouldn't have even been able to come up with three I don't think depressed I don't even know if Depression was a thing when I was a kid I don't remember anybody who said they had it or anxiety any of it I don't remember any of it as a kid so what if everybody had those problems but if they didn't have a name for it they just thought it was that happens in their head and maybe other people have in their heads and and we're all just different and I also wonder if half of the country has a mental illness or disorder as they call it who gets to determine what's normal you know where where's that line of normal if half the kids have a mental illness at some point it just becomes who we are I mean aren't we all a little bit crazy one way or another anyway I got questions about these numbers but it does seem like they're more mentally unhealthy people for one reason or another um so how many of you have seen the clip of Bill Mah he went on a few different talk shows and he talked about how the uh Democrats are poorly served by their own news which is interesting to hear a Democrat or somebody who leans Democrat say that that they were poorly served by their own news the example he gives is that when people were ped uh what are the odds that you would end up in the hospital if you got Co and apparently uh people on the left political left thought it was a really big number and the the real number is you know under 2% now that was a really good example of where their news has completely Bamboozled them I mean just wildly but is there anything else like that how about if you were to ask I'm just guessing but if you were to ask the Democrats and Republicans um if the number of deaths from extreme weather have gone up or down recently I feel like I don't know this but I feel like Democrats would say oh yeah that extreme weather from all the climate change so there's more extreme weather because there's more climate change more extreme weather equals more deaths yes there must be a great increase in the number of deaths the reality is it's at an all-time low do you think they would know that yeah how about the hoaxes if I ran through the list of the hoaxes find people hoax the drinking bleach hoax you know just go down the list how many Democrats would recognize those as hoaxes they wouldn't because the news told them they were all real so they wouldn't know any of the hoaxes they wouldn't know the most important elements of climate change which is their biggest issue uh they wouldn't know about hospitalization for coid the biggest thing that happened in the country for years and then there's another one I just saw some statistics um people were asked how many how many people were killed by police who were black in 2021 so the survey was 2021 uh 40% of liberals thought the number was over a thousand in in America per year they 40% of liberals people who were very liberal thought it was over a thousand the real number was 11 it was 11 people and how many of the 11 had it coming meaning that if he knew the details you would have said to yourself oh well I can see why they shot those 11 how many of the 11 probably at least nine or 10 you'd look at it and say yeah they definitely should have been shot so the number who who are shot who should not have been shot maybe two out of thousands and thousands and thousands of arrests still too many of course but conservatives didn't say that only 16% of conservatives thought it was over a thousand which is way too much what conservative thinks that the number of black people killed by police per year is over a thousand 16% of conservatives now if you asked what is their primary news source what do you think they'd say probably not Fox News probably not Breitbart they'd probably say see you that it's probably their primary source of news there must there a lot of households where you've got a conservative and a liberal in the same house and one of them controls the TV so the per the other person doesn't see real news so there might be a whole bunch of conservatives who think they're seeing real news on CNN because their spouse watches it just a guess so I would like to see a more uh more comprehensive survey to see if people on the left or the right are even informed about the important stuff you know other questions you could imagine would be um is Generation 3 nuclear energy more or less dangerous than um the Alternatives you know stuff like that you know conservatives would know that Generation 3 there's never been a death never those are the new ones that you would build today if you if if you started today it would either be generation three or four four would be built in a way that it couldn't melt down no matter what happened three could but they've done them so well that none has none has had a catastrophic problem all right how many would know that um some new information about college degrees the percentage of uh young adults who said that a college degree is very important is now down to 41% it was 74% over 10 years ago this is in the New York Times so 10 years ago three4 of the country said oh yeah college education is important and today 41% what changed what changed in 10 years College became worthless that's what in the last 10 years College went awoke and became ridiculous and and way too expensive so the price is going way up the value you get out of it is way down who would want to send their kid to a woke College well woke people I guess but uh the rest would not want them to come back all woken IED do you remember the uh the other day I told you Bloomberg had done a study that said after George Floyd was killed that um the this The Fortune 100 companies their new hires only six % of them were white and it was outrageous because it would look like they were all overcompensating do you know how they got that 6% number well the daily wire did a little Deep dive and looked into it here's how they got the 6% number is something called not knowing how to do math at all that's the whole story The the numbers are not even close to 6% it's actually closer to the way it's always been so the real story is nothing really changed after George Floyd in terms of hiring which is good news in one sense because there wasn't an overreaction now if you think that the Baseline was good that's a separate question but there wasn't an overreaction there was you know some small statistical difference so once again we learned that journalists can't do math we've always learned that scientists can't do to statistics I mean the fact that two highly qualified statisticians that Martin called off and um Nate silver are having a total disagreement about the same same set of data they're looking at the same data and they can't decide what it says two are the best in the business so there's almost no data that's useful and it's really hard to accept that but it is true data is almost all motivated it's motivated by somebody or it's just you know done wrong and when it's done wrong it seems to agree with the motivation of the person who did it wrong that's pretty consistent because otherwise You' never see it well um but of course at least our climate change science is good right there's a new study that says uh uh new study measured how much CO2 is released from rocks into the atmosphere rocks that's right so if it rains for example there's like a slight bit of erosion from rocks it turns out that rocks could add as much CO2 to the atmosphere as volcanoes and currently this process is not included in most climate models so there's something as big as volcanoes which are very big in terms of CO2 that are not included because they didn't know about it till now it's the Rocks so do you know what the plan is to uh prevent the rocks from off gasing the CO2 they're going to bury them you're going to bury all the Rocks Under dirt now I'm making that up that's not real that's not real they're not going to bury the rocks it would just be funny wouldn't it or ban them ban the Rocks they're going to make rocks illegal get rid of the Rocks rocks must die I think it would be hilarious to have a climate protest against rocks am I right what would be funnier than that like you know actually get a permit invite you know thousands of people and have them March no more rocks no more rocks I think it'd be funny yes and uh do you know how many how much of the CO2 comes from Black Rock okay that's a pun on Black Rock being a big company wasn't a very good pun I just saw it in the comments and stole it probably should have held back on that one yeah so uh we didn't include rocks in those models is there anybody you know who's been telling you for a long time the models can't predict the future not even a little bit not ever not in this case not in any case yeah but we believe they can here's another story about Biden's dementia so I guess a ex ESPN host named Sage Steel I guess she was on uh Bill Mars's show uh the uh Club random and she said that interviewing Joe Biden was quote the saddest thing as he couldn't finish his sentences so she said so forget about politics I don't care I didn't vote for him steel told uh Bill Mah uh she thinks he's a terrible president but she says however uh that made me sad she said of his confusion now another sub part of the story is that the Washington Post is running the story so the Washington Post as you know likes their Democrats but it's pretty clear that uh the word is going out that Biden will be pushed out I think he's going to try to stay in there I I think the entire system is going to try to push him out but they're going to try it too gently because they can't be too aggressive or too obvious and I think his stubbornness will be greater than their subtlety so I think he's going to stay even though his side is going to try really hard to push him out because he's an old demented man and he doesn't want to quit by saying he's demented if you have dementia the last thing you want to do is say you know I'm going to have to step down cuz honestly I got a bad case of dementia and it's just getting worse so s Sage Steel is a great name isn't it your first name makes you sound smart your last name makes you sound strong Sage Ste sounds like a superhero name yes Sage Steel I like it all right so this next uh category is the things that Trump was right about are you ready for this things that Trump was right about um I made a prediction in 2021 that the longer Trump was out of office the better he would look let's see if there are any examples in the real world of things that make Trump look better than he did well as you might remember um Joe Biden was very anti Saudi Arabia and its leader the Crown Prince for uh possibly or probably ordering a uh Bona related murder of a Critic which we consider a bad form and so Biden was very very tough on it said Trump was some kind of a weird Trader for even doing business with that guy uh let's see if there's any news stories oh here's a scoop uh cedor Biden advisers quietly visited Saudi Arabia last week and met Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman to discuss a mega deal so so Biden's going to do a mega deal with the guy that he said they can never do business with because he's a big old murderer so I'm going to say that Trump was right that even if you don't like what uh MBS has done or will do that you might need to deal with them so let's say Trump was right about that um I saw this question uh from un Hoodwink on X what percentage of woke liberals would rather die by the hands of their publicly promoted ideology in other words open borders and defunding the police uh vers ver admit they were wrong and then work with the right to fix the problems now what do you think how many Democrats would literally now we're talking literally literally actually die how many would actually choose a high well not certainty of death but how many would choose a large percentage chance of dying violently rather than admit they're wrong it's probably 90% that's my guess because that's how cognitive dissonance works until their final breath they would still think they were right there would be no point that would ever change their mind because once you're really really committed to an opinion you will actually risk your life so you don't have to change it you wouldn't take certain death if I gave you a choice of all right yeah you can hold that opinion but in five days you will be dead for sure and we guarantee it well that might change somebody's opinion because we have a survival Instinct but if you said there's you know your opinions a really higher chance you're going to get killed like substantially higher they would say I know but it's the principle of the thing so no I don't think the risk of being killed by their own policies would change their minds I don't think that's how minds work we just stick with what we thought was true and we never leave basically all right um IBM uh predicted not long ago at CEO previously predicted that IBM would have to shed 30% of their Workforce because AI would replace too many people do you remember what I've been saying does anybody remember my prediction about Ai and employment I said it's could to be more like the invention of the printer or the computer we just find more things for people to do and then we hire them to do those things instead or do them faster um but IBM now after its CEO had said they might lose 30% of the employees to AI says uh it foresees no l layoffs due to Ai and the company will hire more workers than it lets go so it's actually going to grow workers instead of shedding 30% I'm going to take credit for being right on this pred tentatively I mean you'd have to see a lot more time and a lot more companies doing stuff to be to be uh sure but I think AI will not affect overall employment it will definitely change the mix of jobs like dramatically but I don't think it'll change the overall employment rate by itself so that's my contrarian prediction um the Navy now has print on demand parts so if you're on a ship at Sea and something breaks you can't easily take the you know take the cruiser back to a port or or fly something in easily now they can just print apart they can actually just create a part and install it and they've already done it once they installed a crucial piece on one of its nuclear submarines now I don't feel comfortable with this I don't want my nuclear submarines necessarily to have too many 3D printed Parts if you know what I mean it might have been you know maybe a part that wouldn't accidentally launch a missile so that would be good you know may maybe fix the interface a little bit or something but no I wouldn't want it to be one of the components of the nuclear missiles so but I don't think we're doing that well the most important news the day is that commander of the dog um Joe Joe Bon's dog no Joe Biden not Biden just seems like it should be Joe Biden um so that that dog will be removed from the White House um I believe it's being accused of being a magga domestic terrorist because that's what they do with anything they don't like and they had a few different ways to uh to handle this but one was to remove the dog completely uh but they also considered building a wall around it yeah it's called a cage but uh they could have built a wall around the dog but they decid to get rid of it um now I don't know if you've put together 2 plus two but in the past week not only has speaker Mc.

Carthy been removed from office but Commander the dog has been removed the White House and that does leave us with no leadership whatsoever it's quite a leadership hole we've created here because I pretty sure Commander the dog was in charge of uh domestic policy anyway well let's see um I saw a post by uh Peter xan on about Ukraine and uh he said this he said all administrations have their blind spots Ukraine is Biden's so Ukraine is his blind spot now I'm thinking where's this going where's this going so Ukraine is Biden's blind spot uh so but Peter xan says luckily it is easy to make the case uh to make the case that aid for Ukraine is a core American interest Biden just needs to address the nation just as Clinton did for Kosovo uh W bush did for Iraq Bush Senor did for Panama and Reagan did for the 80s defense buildup so it's easy to make the case that aid for Ukraine is a core American interest is it is that easy you think I would have heard that argument by now but I haven't have you if any of you heard an argument why Ukraine is America's core interest I I've heard it's the only thing that will keep China from taking over Taiwan which I think is just laughably stupid it's just laughably stupid I'm not even going to I'm not even going to address that would you agree the thought that whatever happens to Ukraine the thought that that would have anything to do with China's decision about Taiwan I'm not even going to talk about it that's just too stupid that that's just too many levels of abstraction all right um but the other argument is let's see I heard one argument from a politician saying but don't you realize that 30% of the the world's wheat comes from Ukraine to which I say why would that stop if you if Ukraine loses the war is Russia going to stop making wheat or is it going to be one one year of you know not as much wheat I don't know I'm not sure that that's a and the problem in the United States wouldn't be people starving it would be that the wheat cost I don't know 30% more so we would just eat less bread and would eat more vegetables is that is that a core American interest that there might be let's say one year of low wheat production if something happened in Ukraine that's that's a core American interest now what about uh what about stopping uh Putin's war of aggression where if we don't stop him now he'll just keep taking over countries don't don't you think he just makes every decision individually or or do we believe that he had this one big decision I must take over everything I'm just going to take over everything and it doesn't matter what the situation is I'll take it over if it's bordering my country just going to take it over is that the way he thinks or might he look at every situation individually and his Ukraine opinion is different than his opinion of every place else I feel like I feel like he probably treats them all as individual decisions do you think that he would uh move on Poland uh to me the Ukraine situation showed that his military can't conquer another country uh even one that he he believed to be weak he certainly can't take a a NATO country yeah so I hear what Peter Zan says that it would be easy to make the case but I've never heard the case in what in a way that sounds even like a little bit plausible now there's a trick that uh people do in the news all the time which is to imagine that there's only one choice and the choice that they imagine is we either support Ukraine or we give it all to Russia is that the those are the only choices what about the most most likely Choice why would you leave the most likely outcome out of your two choices the most likely outcome is we say look we don't want to fund Ukraine anymore but we're going to if you don't if you don't do a peace deal that you know negotiates these border regions the obvious other solution is you negotiate a piece that keeps everybody largely where they are at the moment and then you you know give some guarantees about the future Etc but why do we think the choice is to fight forever or Surrender when by far the most obvious thing is to say all right it's a draw you know this should discourage you from invading another country because you can see that we can just stop you so why don't we just negotiate peace go back to business as usual here's why you can't make a good case because the real case you can't tell the American people can you the real reason they can't say out loud the real reason is it's an energy War we don't want Russia to first of all make all the money that our companies could make and second of all to have that much power over people by being in control of their energy it's a pure energy War if you made if you made that argument to me believe it or not I might be persuaded by it it sounds purely evil but in the real world Wars are about resources and usually energy and it's probably just a way to guarantee that America stays the dominant superpower for the next 50 years because if Russia you know got enough money from its energy production and got enough control over the over Europe you could really easily see how Putin could dominate Europe it' be easy to see so there would be an argument but you'd have to say that things that you can't say which is yes Ukraine is totally corrupt uh but we'd rather make sure our energy companies get the business that would otherwise go to Putin because if he has the money he's going to do bad stuff with it but you can't say that out loud because then it's an optional War all right of course we're going to talk about the border wall um so the head of home Homeland Security secretary Al Alejandro mayoras who's been very anti-wall as has Joe Biden been anti-wall but now quote there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and Roads huh physical barriers what would be what would be an example of a physical barrier and what would the what would be the way a normal non jerk would say it probably wall wall yeah but if you're as big a loser as this my Arcus guy is you got to call it a a physical physical barrier so you don't it's not as obvious what a weasel you've been and how much damage you've done to the country by not having a border so uh I'm going to put this on the category of uh things Trump was right about that the other side had to pretend they were against because so they could be against whatever he was for and it couldn't be much more obvious than this one so I would say that Trump has been right about police and needing more of them and don't defund them he was right about the Border he was right about China he was probably right about Iran um he was right about energy he was right about a lot and it's getting more and more obvious so here are some of my predictions just to remind you I said the Republicans would be hunted um and there's a good chance you'll be dead in a year and we can see the crime wave and people getting killed in cities especially that journalist recently makes us think that uh it's an unsafe place to live but how about that Republicans would be hunted well uh the federal government is so concerned about domestic violence that the FBI has created a whole category of extremists and they're called Donald Trump's Army of magga followers that's right the FBI has decided that magga people should be um followed closely for being domestic terrorists uh and it's the FBI that will do it and my God uh this so this is a Newsweek report something leaked um so Biden is trying to defeat domestic terrorism by targeting one political group for political terrorism do you think that you would make magga people less likely to bomb the capital by targeting them unfairly I'm pretty sure this would radicalize more people than it would C hatch so this seems like the worst idea in the world um but here we are so I don't think we can any longer argue that Republicans are not being haunted would you all give me that that that uh prediction which is pretty out of left field was right this is clearly right the the January 6 people were obviously hunted a number of public figures were cancelled for reasons that sounded like other reasons but really weren't they were it was about taking the the better voices off the field yeah it's it's as it's as bad as I said it would be and when I when I wrote that tweet I have to say I just felt it you know the I felt it like the moment before I wrote it I just had this feeling it's like oh the way they're the way that they campaigned and talked about trump it became very obvious that that rhetoric would translate into action that looked like this because they were saying it they were saying it clearly from the start that magga people were terrorists in versions of that so you could see it coming from a mile away and here it is um see the FTC is going after Amazon so apparently they had this special algor called project Nessie that worked by manipulating Rivals weak pricing algorithms so somehow um what I think this means is either their their own in-house products were competing against the professional products or maybe there was one they had a greater profit margin from so they would push that instead of the other one but apparently uh this was bad behavior According to some people the FTC um and it led competitors to raise their prices and charge customers more so that was pretty sketchy so we'll see if that was all true because it's subject of a court case so maybe it wasn't true you never know so here's the funniest thing I realized yesterday that do you remember Adam Schiff um wanted to be the next senator from California so he was in the he was in the house of Representatives but Gavin newon said he was going to promote a black woman to that job and then he did and I just realized that Adam Schiff was passed over for promotion because he's a white man just just hold that in your head Adam Chef specifically him specifically he was passed over for a promotion because he's a white man how much do you how much do you think he loves his team today oh yeah Democrats something tells me the next time he goes into the shift he's not going to lie I think he got a little closer to being a republican is what I think cuz that can only happen to you so many times before you start saying hey I don't think the intentions here are are really in the right Direction yep Adam Schiff was passed over for promotion because he's a white male I me I just like saying that and it makes me wonder where's the ADL shouldn't the ADL be defending him he is a Democrat they should be defending him against this discrimination but they're nowhere to be seen oh but they are advertising again on the xplatform I think they should have been kicked off the xplatform but if they're going to give Elan must money I guess that's okay Jim Jordan representative Jim Jordan who's been floated as the potential uh next speaker of the house he tweeted this yesterday does anyone does anyone feel safe in Democrat run cities Democrat run cities and I thought to myself what an interesting choice of words Democrat run cities CU if I go into the City and I see a Democrat com toward me I'm going to run so Democrat run run it's a Democrat run City yeah that's what it's called a Democrat run City well speaking of a lack of free speech apparently V ramaswami and Chris Christie had agreed with each other that they would go on a show I think on Fox and debate and the the uh Republican party shot that down and told them they couldn't do that to which I say what when did the Republican Party become the No Free Speech party like I get I get the Republicans have to act like Republicans and you want to be on the same team and all but seriously seriously you can't let two people running for president debate each other on your TV show and and when I first heard that VI was going to have a conversation with Chris Christie the first thing I thought was that might be the first time you saw a debate where something like a debate happened the the way the debates are done for the TV audience you know with seven or eight people up there and then the questions maybe not the questions you you would have asked not really useful I mean it's a good event it's a show event but it's not really useful for voters but to oneon-one where they could spend some time really digging into the other person's point of view I would watch that all day but apparently the Republicans won't let it happen so there's your free speech group right there um Carl Ro did this big editorial in the Wall Street Journal uh trying to mock Matt gates for throwing the throwing the Congress into chaos by outing the speaker and I read the whole thing and my only take on it was there's something wrong with Carl Rove I don't know if I could go further but I read his I read his thing about Matt Gates and it was his choice of words his choice of words very clearly U said that his opinion was and it was just some weird political thing that he he prefers some I guess he preferred Mc.

Carthy but I kind of thought he was a straight shooter until I saw his editorial and it was just it looked like a Democrat wrote it really and you can you know what I mean right it it was tons of insults that weren't necessary to the point you know it's like a little too hyperbolic so I don't trust anybody but I definitely don't trust anybody who's mad at Matt Gates for kicking the speaker out you you immediately lose my trust when you have a strong opinion that that should not have gone on because we could all see that the current situation wasn't getting us any results and we could all keep it politics aside if your speaker makes a a public promise to your own team and then doesn't keep it it doesn't matter if he was effective in all the other stuff that is grounds for removal period because it doesn't look like he ever meant to keep that maybe he did yeah maybe events overtook him so he was either incapable of delivering it or never meant to yeah so I'm very in favor of Matt Gates this week the worst attack on him I saw was one other member of Congress saying that prior to his marriage and this is stated directly prior to his marriage uh he once bragged about taking Ed meds and slamming uh Power drinks so he could go all night oh oh well I didn't know he that he was aggressively flagrantly heterosexual so that changes everything he was super heterosexual before he was married so before marriage he had a lot of sex I don't know I just I can't be okay with all that heterosexual single person sex I mean that's just too far I should note that there are no criminal charges for anything there are no criminal charges for anything he did but they're going to make fun of him for figuring out which chemicals allow him to have sex all night while you're sitting home eating popcorn with your spouse so I'm a pro Matt gates for for all this stuff all right I don't know if this story is true but there's a story of the Ukrainian president zeny's wife when they were in New York uh she allegedly spent more than a million dollars on cardier jewelry at the same time zinsky was asking for money and weapons from the United Nations now doesn't that one feel a little too on the nose do you think that really happened it's definitely possible I wouldn't say it's impossible definitely possible but it's so on the nose right could could there be a story that you know not since amelda Marcos In Her Shoes has there been a story that was like just right on the point like that right on the point I don't know I'm a little skeptical of it I'm I'm going to say wait wait two days on this one if in two days the story doesn't change it might be real but this one just has that feel about it it has the feel of fake news just all over it whether it is or not I don't know could be true I give it two days um gallb says that the appetite for a third party is pretty high um 75% of self-identified independents support a third party support creation of a third party which is weird because we have third parties already um 58% of Republicans endorse the idea and 46% of Democrats that kind of suggests that RFK Jr has a has a path I I always thought he was way more of a Dark Horse than he's been given credit for if he goes third party which I think he's doing primarily so he has freedom of speech so they won't ban him on social media uh he actually could win yeah let let me say it clearly I'm not predicting a win not predicting it but if he wins I want you to know I said yeah that's there's a path he he just has a path there are enough disgruntled people that if the only thing that happened is you saw lots of trump arguing with Biden whoever's not Trump arguing with Biden is going to look better every day just every day because both Biden and Trump will just be dumped on with you know just everything and whoever is just going along and making a little news on the side I don't like big Pharma do you no I don't oh well we agree on that yeah I feel like he's just going to stay under the radar maybe slip in at the end it's possible uh not probable but it's possible and and here's another story that I can't believe I think it's true but is it true that Trump's attorney uh accidentally check the box that says they don't want a jury trial and that he's not going to get a jury trial because the lawyer checked the wrong box that was fake news right but is it a jury trial so so the first question is is it a jury trial right so I think it's no jury trial but is the claim that the lawyer made a mistake the reason that parts that so some of this is fake right some of the story all right well I'm just going to say we don't know but that judge uh engeron he's a little bit too happy he seems to enjoy his job too much which makes you feel uncomfortable because he doesn't seem like he's as serious as you'd want him to be I mean sure he's a nice guy I mean when I when I see him I think oh I could hang out with him he'd be fun but he's not really sending a judge Vibe that's going to hurt him all right and that ladies and gentlemen is my prepared comments is there any any uh big story I missed today what am I forgetting uh so judge jine said that no conservative would go for RFK Jr really well he definitely has policies that no conservative could approve but I don't know I don't know there may be just bad feelings yeah all it would take is Trump to do something that he's not done yet that was some new outrage and RFK Jr would only be going up against Biden so I think he's got a shot has ideas that aren't insane I don't know about that uh RFK Jr thought a border wall was racist until a month ago what's the problem do you have a problem that there's somebody who changes his mind based on researching it himself and getting better facts how is that a problem uh he was in a he was in a bar band all right fix his voice please I might be able to do that it's possible I could all right literally ask followers what they want him to fix all right uh ladies and gentlemen do you think uh Ukraine's in trouble because we won't be able to fund them what what do you think is going to happen in Ukraine are they going to get their funding I think they'll probably be fine um but one way or another it's going to be negotiated I think something close to the current border K CLA Schwab what about him I feel like you want to talk about CLA Schwab every single day he hasn't done anything new has he um could a judge or jury be better I don't know they'll use more advanced weapons if they have them Dave Rubin says it's true well but did Dave Rubin see the form I mean we're looking at the same stuff aren't we all right secret followers oh I I guess there's a the clips of me with Russell Brand just dropped the first clip might be more than one clip but if you want to see me uh talking to Russell Brand I guess that just just dropped forgot the part what uh should be on You.

Tube probably Rumble as well the run out of ammo yeah all right um You.

Tube thanks for joining I hope you had a good experience and and if you don't like all the commercials on here consider joining uh joining locals all right uh I guess you're going to go watch den den Bonino on Rumble now bye for now

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm

pretty sure you'll never have a better

time than this today sorry uh but if

you'd like to take this experience up to

stratospheric levels the kind that

nobody can even imagine all you need is

a CER mug or glass a tanker chal's iron

a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee enjoy me now now for the

unparallel pleasure of the dopamine of

the day the thing makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous

zp this is called product placement

people yeah it's a thing it just where

your your product just shows up

someplace in the middle of your

video that's right if you have not

bought my book reframe your brain that's

changing lives like crazy according to

readers you should also I just want to

give you a little tease if you're not

subscribing to either locals or the

subscription for me for my stuff on uh

the xplatform then you're not seeing

Dilbert

reborn and you will not see the exciting

conclusion of what happens when

Dilbert's Mom starts dating a fan of

Andrew

Tate I don't want to I don't want to be

a spoiler but I'm just

saying

you can imagine you can imagine all

right here's some uh stuff uh let's see

some sciency stuff that you didn't need

to you didn't need to do the science you

should have just asked me I think this

will be my new category do we need to do

a study or could we just ask Scott and

see what he

says um

apparently being a vegetarian is partly

genetic meaning that there are some

people who don't don't metabolize fat

the same and therefore meat doesn't give

them the buzz that it gives other people

and makes them

sick uh I'm one of those people people

ask me why I stopped eating meat I do

eat fish these days but I stopped eating

meat because I got a stomach ache every

time I did it like a huge stomach ache

so I might be one of these people but

you didn't really have to ask me if

being a vegetarian is genetic is there

anybody who thought it wasn't

did anybody think that being a

vegetarian was simply a lifestyle

preference of course it's

genetic do you know what else is genetic

alcoholism do you know when I knew that

oh about 20 years before science knew it

because it was obvious do you know when

I knew that being a vegetarian not for

everybody some people do pick it for

lifestyle choices I'm sure but uh did I

know that some people people were

naturally vegetarians yes I

did to me it was obvious it's been

obvious for

decades uh about uh that uh gay people

have a different genetic makeup was I

surprised to learn that no because that

was obvious for decades before science

figured it out so if you want to wait

for science you can but it'll be decades

after I tell you what's true now what

about alcohol is uh actually good for

you if if if uh take it in

moderation well science lied to you

about that for about 50 years but if you

listen to me from the very start I said

nope that's just science

there's no way that any of it's good for

you and now we know it's

not uh speaking of science here's

another

study I don't even know why I bother

science is so ridiculous now but uh

there's a study by uh see the lead

author is Professor wrath he says that

uh half of the population will develop

at least one disorder mental disorder by

the age of 75 so in other words half of

Americans will have mental health

disorders in their lifetime

half so how do you explain

that uh let me explain it follow the

money follow the money we now have this

enormous uh industry that will give you

a pill or give you therapy or make you

watch some Tik Tok videos or something

else so once we

monetized uh mental health disorders

were you going to get more of them or

few of them you going to get a lot more

yeah everything you form a group to look

for you're going to find more when uh

the ADL was formed to look for bigotry

do you think they found any well there

was plenty to find but do you think they

found any that wasn't really there oh

yes of course they did so you're going

to find everything that's there and a

lot of stuff that isn't there if you're

looking but on top of that I do think

our entire system makes people mentally

ill there's definitely a difference in

mental illness compared to when I was a

kid or here's the other

possibility if nobody told you you were

mentally ill would you know

it what if we had just as much mental

illness before but there were no names

for it and we were not all familiar with

all the various types if you sat me down

and said Scott make a list of all the

potential types of mental illness I

could have a pretty long list do you

think I could have done that when I was

I don't know

15 no I would have thought um let's see

I've heard of

schizophrenia um and uh maybe fear of

crowds or something and I wouldn't have

been able to even I wouldn't have even

been able to come up with three I don't

think depressed I don't even know if

Depression was a thing when I was a kid

I don't remember anybody who said they

had it or anxiety any of it I don't

remember any of it as a kid so what if

everybody had those problems but if they

didn't have a name for it they just

thought it was that happens in

their head and maybe other people have

in their heads and and we're all

just

different and I also

wonder if half of the country has a

mental illness or disorder as they call

it who gets to determine what's

normal you know where where's that line

of normal if half the kids have a mental

illness at some point it just becomes

who we are I mean aren't we all a little

bit crazy one way or another anyway I

got questions about these numbers but it

does seem like they're more mentally

unhealthy people for one reason or

another

um

so how many of you have seen the clip of

Bill Mah he went on a few different talk

shows and he talked about how the uh

Democrats are poorly served by their own

news which is interesting to hear a

Democrat or somebody who leans Democrat

say that that they were poorly served by

their own news the example he gives is

that when people were ped uh what are

the odds that you would end up in the

hospital if you got Co and apparently uh

people on the left political left

thought it was a really big number and

the the real number is you know under 2%

now that was a really good example of

where their news has completely

Bamboozled them I mean just wildly but

is there anything else like that how

about if you were to ask I'm just

guessing but if you were to ask the

Democrats and

Republicans um if the number of deaths

from extreme weather have gone up or

down

recently I feel like I don't know this

but I feel like Democrats would say oh

yeah that extreme weather from all the

climate change so there's more extreme

weather because there's more climate

change more extreme weather equals more

deaths yes there must be a great

increase in the number of deaths the

reality is it's at an all-time low do

you think they would know that yeah how

about the

hoaxes if I ran through the list of the

hoaxes find people hoax the drinking

bleach hoax you know just go down the

list how many Democrats would recognize

those as hoaxes they wouldn't because

the news told them they were all

real so they wouldn't know any of the

hoaxes they wouldn't know the most

important elements of climate change

which is their biggest

issue uh they wouldn't know about

hospitalization for coid the biggest

thing that happened in the country for

years and then there's another one I

just saw some

statistics um

people were asked how many how many

people were killed by police who were

black in 2021 so the survey was

2021 uh 40% of liberals thought the

number was over a thousand in in America

per year they 40% of liberals people who

were very liberal thought it was over a

thousand the real number was 11 it was

11 people and how many of the 11 had it

coming meaning that if he knew the

details you would have said to yourself

oh well I can see why they shot those

11 how many of the 11 probably at least

nine or 10 you'd look at it and say yeah

they definitely should have been shot so

the number who who are shot who should

not have been shot maybe

two out of thousands and thousands and

thousands of

arrests still too many of course but

conservatives didn't say that only 16%

of conservatives thought it was over a

thousand which is way too much what

conservative thinks that the number of

black people killed by police per year

is over a

thousand 16% of

conservatives now if you asked what is

their primary news source what do you

think they'd

say probably not Fox News probably not

Breitbart they'd probably say see you

that it's probably their primary source

of news there must there a lot of

households where you've got a

conservative and a liberal in the same

house and one of them controls the TV so

the per the other person doesn't see

real news so there might be a whole

bunch of conservatives who think they're

seeing real news on CNN because their

spouse watches

it just a guess so I would like to see a

more uh more comprehensive survey to see

if people on the left or the right are

even informed about the important stuff

you know other questions you could

imagine would be um is Generation 3

nuclear

energy more or less dangerous

than um the

Alternatives you know stuff like that

you know conservatives would know that

Generation 3 there's never been a death

never those are the new ones that you

would build today if you if if you

started today it would either be

generation three or four four would be

built in a way that it couldn't melt

down no matter what happened three could

but they've done them so well that none

has none has had a catastrophic

problem all right how many would know

that

um some new information about college

degrees the percentage of uh young

adults who said that a college degree is

very important is now down to 41% it was

74% over 10 years ago this is in the New

York Times so 10 years ago three4 of the

country said oh yeah college education

is important and today 41% what

changed what changed in 10

years College became worthless that's

what in the last 10 years College went

awoke and became

ridiculous and and way too expensive so

the price is going way up the value you

get out of it is way down who would want

to send their kid to a woke

College well woke people I guess but uh

the rest would not want them to come

back all woken IED do you remember the

uh the other day I told you Bloomberg

had done a study that said after George

Floyd was

killed that um the this The Fortune 100

companies their new hires only six % of

them were white and it was outrageous

because it would look like they were all

overcompensating do you know how they

got that 6%

number well the daily wire did a little

Deep dive and looked into it here's how

they got the 6% number is something

called not knowing how to do math at all

that's the whole

story The the numbers are not even close

to 6% it's actually closer to the way

it's always been so the real story is

nothing really changed after George

Floyd in terms of

hiring which is good news in one sense

because there wasn't an

overreaction now if you think that the

Baseline was good that's a separate

question but there wasn't an

overreaction there was you know some

small statistical

difference so once again we learned that

journalists can't do

math we've always learned that

scientists can't do to

statistics I mean the fact that two

highly qualified

statisticians that Martin called off and

um Nate silver are having a total

disagreement about the same same set of

data they're looking at the same data

and they can't decide what it says two

are the best in the business

so there's almost no data that's

useful and it's really hard to accept

that

but it is true data is almost all

motivated it's motivated by somebody or

it's just you know done wrong and when

it's done wrong it seems to agree with

the motivation of the person who did it

wrong that's pretty consistent because

otherwise You' never see

it well um but of course at least our

climate change science is good right

there's a new study that says uh uh new

study measured how much CO2 is released

from rocks into the atmosphere

rocks that's right so if it rains for

example there's like a slight bit of

erosion from

rocks it turns out that rocks could add

as much CO2 to the atmosphere as

volcanoes and currently this process is

not included in most climate

models so there's something as big as

volcanoes which are very big in terms of

CO2 that are not included because they

didn't know about it till

now it's the

Rocks so do you know what the plan is to

uh prevent the rocks from off gasing the

CO2 they're going to bury

them you're going to bury all the

Rocks Under

dirt now I'm making that up that's not

real that's not real they're not going

to bury the rocks it would just be funny

wouldn't it or ban them ban the

Rocks they're going to make rocks

illegal get rid of the Rocks rocks must

die I think it would be hilarious to

have a climate protest against

rocks am I right what would be funnier

than that like you know actually get a

permit invite you know thousands of

people and have them March no more rocks

no more

rocks I think it'd be

funny yes and uh do you know how many

how much of the CO2 comes from Black

Rock okay that's a pun on Black Rock

being a big company wasn't a very good

pun I just saw it in the comments and

stole it probably should have held back

on that one yeah so uh we didn't include

rocks in those models is there anybody

you know who's been telling you for a

long time the models can't predict the

future not even a little bit not ever

not in this case not in any

case yeah but we believe they

can here's another story about Biden's

dementia so I guess a ex ESPN host named

Sage

Steel I guess she was on uh Bill Mars's

show uh the uh Club random

and she said that interviewing Joe Biden

was quote the saddest thing as he

couldn't finish his

sentences so she said so forget about

politics I don't care I didn't vote for

him steel told uh Bill

Mah uh she thinks he's a terrible

president but she says however uh that

made me sad she said of his

confusion now another sub part of the

story is that the Washington Post is

running the story so the Washington Post

as you know likes their Democrats but

it's pretty clear that uh the word is

going out that Biden will be pushed out

I think he's going to try to stay in

there I I think the entire system is

going to try to push him out but they're

going to try it too gently because they

can't be too aggressive or too

obvious and I think his stubbornness

will be greater than their

subtlety so I think he's going to stay

even though his side is going to try

really hard to push him out because he's

an old demented man and he doesn't want

to quit by saying he's demented if you

have dementia the last thing you want to

do is say you know I'm going to have to

step down cuz honestly I got a bad case

of dementia and it's just getting worse

so s Sage Steel is a great name isn't it

your first name makes you sound smart

your last name makes you sound strong

Sage Ste sounds like a superhero

name yes Sage Steel I like it all right

so this next uh category is the things

that Trump was right about are you ready

for this things that Trump was right

about um I made a prediction in 2021

that the longer Trump was out of office

the better he would

look let's see if there are any examples

in the real world of things that make

Trump look better than he did well as

you might remember um Joe Biden was very

anti Saudi Arabia and its leader the

Crown Prince for uh possibly or probably

ordering a uh Bona related murder of a

Critic which we consider a bad

form and so Biden was very very tough on

it said Trump was some kind of a weird

Trader for even doing business with that

guy uh let's see if there's any news

stories oh here's a scoop uh cedor Biden

advisers quietly visited Saudi Arabia

last week and met Crown Prince Muhammad

bin Salman to discuss a mega

deal so so Biden's going to do a mega

deal with the guy that he said they can

never do business with because he's a

big old murderer so I'm going to say

that Trump was right that even if you

don't like what uh

MBS has done or will do that you might

need to deal with them so let's say

Trump was right about

that

um I saw this question uh from un

Hoodwink on X what percentage of woke

liberals would rather die by the hands

of their publicly promoted ideology in

other words open borders and defunding

the police uh vers ver admit they were

wrong and then work with the right to

fix the problems now what do you think

how many Democrats would literally now

we're talking literally literally

actually die how many would actually

choose a high well not certainty of

death but how many would choose a large

percentage chance of dying violently

rather than admit they're

wrong it's probably 90%

that's my guess because that's how

cognitive dissonance works until their

final breath they would still think they

were right there would be no point that

would ever change their mind because

once you're really really committed to

an

opinion you will actually risk your life

so you don't have to change

it you wouldn't take certain death if I

gave you a choice of all right yeah you

can hold that opinion but in five days

you will be dead for sure and we

guarantee it well that might change

somebody's opinion because we have a

survival Instinct but if you said

there's you know your

opinions a really higher chance you're

going to get killed like substantially

higher they would say I know but it's

the principle of the thing so no I don't

think the risk of being killed by their

own policies would change their minds I

don't think that's how minds work we

just stick with what we thought was true

and we never leave

basically

all right

um IBM uh

predicted not long ago at CEO previously

predicted that IBM would have to shed

30% of their

Workforce because AI would replace too

many

people do you remember what I've been

saying does anybody remember my

prediction about Ai and

employment I said it's could to be more

like the invention of the printer or the

computer

we just find more things for people to

do and then we hire them to do those

things instead or do them faster um but

IBM now after its CEO had said they

might lose 30% of the employees to AI

says uh it foresees no l layoffs due to

Ai and the company will hire more

workers than it lets go so it's actually

going to grow workers instead of

shedding

30% I'm going to take credit for being

right on this pred

tentatively I mean you'd have to see a

lot more time and a lot more companies

doing stuff to be to be uh

sure but I think AI will not affect

overall employment it will definitely

change the mix of jobs like dramatically

but I don't think it'll change the

overall employment rate by

itself so that's my contrarian

prediction um the Navy now has print on

demand parts so if you're on a ship at

Sea and something breaks you can't

easily take the you know take the

cruiser back to a port or or fly

something in easily now they can just

print apart they can actually just

create a part and install it and they've

already done it

once they installed a crucial piece on

one of its nuclear submarines now I

don't feel comfortable with

this I don't want my nuclear submarines

necessarily to have too many 3D printed

Parts if you know what I mean it might

have been you know maybe a part that

wouldn't accidentally launch a missile

so that would be good you know may maybe

fix the interface a little bit or

something but no I wouldn't want it to

be one of the components of the nuclear

missiles so but I don't think we're

doing

that well the most important news the

day is that commander of the dog um Joe

Joe Bon's dog no Joe Biden not Biden

just seems like it should be Joe Biden

um so that that dog will be removed from

the White

House um I believe it's being accused of

being a magga domestic terrorist because

that's what they do with anything they

don't like and they had a few different

ways to uh to handle this but one was to

remove the dog

completely uh but they also considered

building a wall around it

yeah it's called a

cage but uh they could have built a wall

around the dog but they decid to get rid

of it um now I don't know if you've put

together 2 plus two but in the past week

not only has speaker McCarthy been

removed from

office but Commander the dog has been

removed the White House and that does

leave us with no leadership

whatsoever

it's quite a leadership hole we've

created here because I pretty sure

Commander the dog was in charge of uh

domestic policy

anyway well let's see

um I saw a post by uh Peter

xan on about

Ukraine and uh he said this he said all

administrations have their blind spots

Ukraine is

Biden's so Ukraine is his blind spot now

I'm thinking where's this

going where's this going so Ukraine is

Biden's blind spot uh so but Peter xan

says luckily it is easy to make the case

uh to make the case that aid for Ukraine

is a core American interest Biden just

needs to address the nation just as

Clinton did for Kosovo uh W bush did for

Iraq Bush Senor did for Panama and

Reagan did for the 80s defense buildup

so it's easy to make the case that aid

for Ukraine is a core American

interest is it is that easy you think I

would have heard that argument by now

but I haven't have you if any of you

heard an argument why Ukraine is

America's core

interest I I've heard it's the only

thing that will keep China from taking

over

Taiwan which I think is just laughably

stupid it's just laughably stupid I'm

not even going to I'm not even going to

address that would you agree the thought

that whatever happens to Ukraine the

thought that that would have anything to

do with China's decision about Taiwan

I'm not even going to talk about it

that's just too stupid that

that's just too many levels of

abstraction all right um but the other

argument is let's see I heard one

argument from a politician saying but

don't you realize that 30% of the the

world's wheat comes from Ukraine to

which I say why would that stop if you

if Ukraine loses the

war is Russia going to stop making wheat

or is it going to be one one year of you

know not as much

wheat I don't know I'm not sure that

that's a and the problem in the United

States wouldn't be people starving it

would be that the wheat cost I don't

know 30% more so we would just eat less

bread and would eat more

vegetables is that is that a core

American interest that there might be

let's say one year of low wheat

production if something happened in

Ukraine that's that's a core American

interest now what about uh what about

stopping uh Putin's war of aggression

where if we don't stop him now he'll

just keep taking over

countries don't don't you think he just

makes every decision

individually or or do we believe that he

had this one big decision I must take

over everything I'm just going to take

over everything and it doesn't matter

what the situation is I'll take it over

if it's bordering my country just going

to take it over is that the way he

thinks or might he look at every

situation

individually and his Ukraine opinion is

different than his opinion of every

place else I feel like

I feel like he probably treats them all

as individual

decisions do you think that he would uh

move on

Poland uh to me the Ukraine situation

showed that his military can't conquer

another country uh even one that he he

believed to be weak he certainly can't

take a a NATO

country yeah

so I hear what Peter Zan says that it

would be easy to make the case but I've

never heard the case in what in a way

that sounds even like a little bit

plausible now there's a trick

that uh people do in the news all the

time which is to imagine that there's

only one

choice and the choice that they imagine

is we either support Ukraine or we give

it all to Russia is that the those are

the only choices what about the most

most likely Choice why would you leave

the most likely outcome out of your two

choices the most likely outcome is we

say look we don't want to fund Ukraine

anymore but we're going to if you don't

if you don't do a peace deal that you

know negotiates these border regions the

obvious other solution is you negotiate

a piece that keeps everybody largely

where they are at the moment and then

you you know give some guarantees about

the future Etc but

why do we think the choice is to fight

forever or Surrender when by far the

most obvious thing is to say all right

it's a draw you know this should

discourage you from invading another

country because you can see that we can

just stop you so why don't we just

negotiate peace go back to business as

usual here's why you can't make a good

case because the real case you can't

tell the American people can you the

real reason they can't say out loud the

real reason is it's an energy War we

don't want Russia to first of all make

all the money that our companies could

make and second of all to have that much

power over people by being in control of

their

energy it's a pure energy War if you

made if you made that argument to me

believe it or not I might be persuaded

by

it it sounds purely evil but in the real

world

Wars are about resources and usually

energy and it's probably just a way to

guarantee that America stays the

dominant superpower for the next 50

years because if Russia you know got

enough money from its energy production

and got enough control over the over

Europe you could really easily see how

Putin could dominate Europe it' be easy

to see so there would be an argument but

you'd have to say that things that you

can't say which is yes Ukraine is

totally

corrupt uh but we'd rather make sure our

energy companies get the business that

would otherwise go to Putin because if

he has the money he's going to do bad

stuff with

it but you can't say that out

loud because then it's an optional War

all

right of course we're going to talk

about the border

wall um so the head of home Homeland

Security secretary Al Alejandro mayoras

who's been very anti-wall as has Joe

Biden been anti-wall but now quote there

is presently an acute and immediate need

to construct physical barriers and Roads

huh physical barriers what would be what

would be an example of a physical

barrier and what would the what would be

the way a normal non jerk would

say it probably wall

wall yeah but if you're as big a loser

as this my Arcus guy is you got to call

it a a physical physical barrier so you

don't it's not as obvious what a weasel

you've been and how much damage you've

done to the country by not having a

border so uh I'm going to put this on

the

category of uh things Trump was right

about that the other side had to pretend

they were against because so they could

be against whatever he was for and it

couldn't be much more obvious than this

one so I would say that Trump has been

right about police and needing more of

them and don't defund them he was right

about the Border he was right about

China he was probably right about

Iran um he was right about

energy he was right about a lot and it's

getting more and more obvious so here

are some of my predictions just to

remind you I said the Republicans would

be

hunted um and there's a good chance

you'll be dead in a year and we can see

the crime wave and people getting killed

in cities especially that journalist

recently makes us think that uh it's an

unsafe place to live but how about that

Republicans would be hunted well uh the

federal

government is so concerned about

domestic violence that the FBI has

created a whole category of

extremists and they're called Donald

Trump's Army of magga

followers that's right the FBI has

decided that magga people should be um

followed closely for being domestic

terrorists uh and it's the FBI that will

do it and

my God uh this so this is a Newsweek

report something

leaked um so Biden is trying to defeat

domestic terrorism by targeting one

political group for political

terrorism do you think that you would

make magga people less likely to bomb

the capital by targeting

them

unfairly I'm pretty sure this would

radicalize more people than it would C

hatch so this seems like the worst idea

in the

world um but here we are so I don't

think we can any longer argue that

Republicans are not being

haunted would you all give me that that

that uh prediction which is pretty out

of left field was right this is clearly

right the the January 6 people were

obviously hunted a number of public

figures were cancelled for reasons that

sounded like other reasons but really

weren't they were it was about taking

the the better voices off the

field yeah it's it's as it's as bad as I

said it would

be and when I when I wrote that tweet I

have to say I just felt it you know the

I felt it like the moment before I wrote

it I just had this feeling it's like oh

the way they're the way that they

campaigned and talked about trump it

became very obvious that that rhetoric

would translate into action that looked

like this because they were saying it

they were saying it clearly from the

start that magga people were terrorists

in versions of that so you could see it

coming from a mile away and here it

is um see the FTC is going after Amazon

so apparently they had this special

algor called project

Nessie that worked by manipulating

Rivals weak pricing

algorithms so

somehow um what I think this means

is either their their own in-house

products were competing against the

professional products or maybe there was

one they had a greater profit margin

from so they would push that instead of

the other one but apparently uh this was

bad behavior According to some people

the FTC um and it led competitors to

raise their prices and charge customers

more so that was pretty

sketchy so we'll see if that was all

true because it's subject of a court

case so maybe it wasn't true you never

know so here's the funniest thing I

realized yesterday that do you remember

Adam

Schiff um wanted to be the next senator

from California so he was in the he was

in the house of Representatives but

Gavin newon said he was going to promote

a black woman to that job and then he

did and I just realized that Adam Schiff

was passed over for

promotion because he's a white

man just just hold that in your head

Adam Chef

specifically him specifically he was

passed over for a promotion because he's

a white

man how much do you how much do you

think he loves his team today oh yeah

Democrats something tells me the next

time he goes into the shift he's not

going to

lie I think he got a little closer to

being a republican is what I

think

cuz that can only happen to you so many

times before you start saying hey I

don't think the intentions here are are

really in the right

Direction yep Adam Schiff was passed

over for promotion because he's a white

male I me I just like saying that and it

makes me wonder where's the ADL

shouldn't the ADL be defending him he is

a Democrat they should be defending him

against this

discrimination but they're nowhere to be

seen oh but they are advertising again

on the xplatform I think they should

have been kicked off the xplatform but

if they're going to give Elan must money

I guess that's

okay Jim Jordan representative Jim

Jordan who's been floated as the

potential uh next speaker of the house

he tweeted this yesterday does anyone

does anyone feel safe in Democrat run

cities Democrat run

cities and I thought to myself what an

interesting choice of words Democrat run

cities CU if I go into the City and I

see a Democrat com toward me I'm going

to

run so Democrat run run it's a Democrat

run

City yeah that's what it's called a

Democrat run

City well speaking of a lack of free

speech apparently V ramaswami and Chris

Christie had agreed with each other that

they would go on a show I think on Fox

and

debate and the the uh Republican party

shot that down and told them they

couldn't do

that to which I

say what when did the Republican Party

become the No Free Speech

party like I get I get the Republicans

have to act like Republicans and you

want to be on the same team and all

but

seriously seriously you can't let two

people running for president debate each

other on your TV show

and and when I first heard that VI was

going to have a conversation with Chris

Christie the first thing I thought was

that might be the first time you saw a

debate where something like a debate

happened the the way the debates are

done for the TV audience you know with

seven or eight people up there and then

the questions maybe not the questions

you you would have asked not really

useful I mean it's a good event it's a

show event but it's not really useful

for voters but to oneon-one

where they could spend some time really

digging into the other person's point of

view I would watch that all day but

apparently the Republicans won't let it

happen so there's your free speech group

right

there

um Carl Ro did this big editorial in the

Wall Street Journal uh trying to mock

Matt gates for throwing the throwing the

Congress into chaos by outing the

speaker

and I read the whole thing and my only

take on it was there's something wrong

with Carl

Rove I don't know if I could go further

but I read his I read his thing about

Matt Gates and it was his choice of

words his choice of

words very

clearly U said that his opinion was

and it was just some weird

political thing that he he prefers some

I guess he preferred

McCarthy

but I kind of thought he was a straight

shooter until I saw his editorial and it

was just it looked like a Democrat wrote

it really and you can you know what I

mean right it it was tons of

insults that weren't necessary to the

point you know it's like a little too

hyperbolic so I don't trust anybody but

I definitely don't trust anybody who's

mad at Matt Gates for kicking the

speaker out you you immediately lose my

trust when you have a strong opinion

that that should not have gone on

because we could all see that the

current situation wasn't getting us any

results and we could all keep

it politics aside if your speaker makes

a a public promise to your own team and

then doesn't keep it it doesn't matter

if he was effective in all the other

stuff that is grounds for removal

period because it doesn't look like he

ever meant to keep

that maybe he did yeah maybe events

overtook him so he was either incapable

of delivering it or never meant

to yeah so I'm very in favor of Matt

Gates this week the worst attack on him

I saw was one other member of Congress

saying that prior to his marriage and

this is stated directly prior to his

marriage uh he once bragged about taking

Ed meds and slamming uh Power drinks so

he could go all

night oh oh well I didn't know he that

he

was aggressively flagrantly

heterosexual so that changes everything

he was super

heterosexual before he was married so

before

marriage he had a lot of

sex I don't know I just I can't be okay

with all that heterosexual single person

sex I mean that's just too far I should

note that there are no criminal charges

for anything there are no criminal

charges for anything he did but they're

going to make fun of him for figuring

out which chemicals allow him to have

sex all

night while you're sitting home eating

popcorn with your

spouse

so I'm a pro Matt gates for for all this

stuff all

right I don't know if this story is true

but there's a story of the Ukrainian

president zeny's wife when they were in

New York uh she allegedly spent more

than a million dollars on cardier

jewelry at the same time zinsky was

asking for money and weapons from the

United Nations now doesn't that one feel

a little too on the

nose do you think that really

happened it's definitely possible I

wouldn't say it's impossible definitely

possible but it's so on the nose

right could could there be a story that

you know not since amelda Marcos In Her

Shoes has there been a story that was

like just right on the point like that

right on the point I don't know I'm a

little skeptical of it I'm I'm going to

say wait wait two days on this one if in

two days the story doesn't change it

might be

real but this one just has that feel

about it it has the feel of fake news

just all over it whether it is or not I

don't know could be true I give it two

days um gallb says that the appetite for

a third party is pretty high um 75% of

self-identified independents support a

third party support creation of a third

party which is weird because we have

third parties

already

um 58% of Republicans endorse the idea

and 46% of

Democrats that kind of suggests that RFK

Jr has a has a

path I I always thought he was way more

of a Dark Horse than he's been given

credit for

if he goes third party which I think

he's doing primarily so he has freedom

of speech so they won't ban him on

social media uh he actually could

win yeah let let me say it clearly I'm

not predicting a win not predicting it

but if he wins I want you to know I said

yeah that's there's a path he he just

has a path there are enough disgruntled

people that if the only thing that

happened is you saw lots of trump

arguing with Biden

whoever's not Trump arguing with Biden

is going to look better every

day just every day because both Biden

and Trump will just be dumped on with

you know just everything and whoever is

just going along and making a little

news on the

side I don't like big Pharma do you no I

don't oh well we agree on that yeah I

feel like he's just going to stay under

the radar maybe slip in at the end it's

possible

uh not probable but it's

possible and and here's another story

that I can't

believe I think it's true but is it true

that Trump's attorney uh

accidentally check the box that says

they don't want a jury trial and that

he's not going to get a jury trial

because the lawyer checked the wrong

box that was fake news

right but is it a jury trial

so so the first question is is it a jury

trial right so I think it's no jury

trial but is the claim that the lawyer

made a mistake the reason that

parts that so some of this is fake right

some of the story all right well I'm

just going to say we don't know but that

judge uh engeron he's a little bit too

happy he seems to enjoy his job too much

which makes you feel uncomfortable

because he doesn't seem like he's as

serious as you'd want him to be I mean

sure he's a nice guy I mean when I when

I see him I think oh I could hang out

with him he'd be fun but he's not really

sending a judge Vibe that's going to

hurt

him all right and that ladies and

gentlemen is my prepared

comments is there any any uh big story I

missed

today what am I

forgetting

uh so judge jine said that no

conservative would go for RFK

Jr really well he definitely has

policies that no conservative could

approve

but I don't know I don't know there may

be just bad feelings yeah all it would

take is Trump to do something that he's

not done yet that was some new

outrage and RFK Jr would only be going

up against Biden so I think he's got a

shot has ideas that aren't insane I

don't know about

that uh RFK Jr thought a border wall was

racist until a month ago

what's the problem do you have a problem

that there's somebody who changes his

mind based on researching it himself and

getting better facts how is that a

problem uh he was in a he was in a bar

band all right

fix his voice please I might be able to

do that it's possible I

could all

right literally ask followers what they

want him to

fix all right uh ladies and gentlemen do

you think uh Ukraine's in trouble

because we won't be able to fund them

what what do you think is going to

happen in Ukraine are they going to get

their

funding I think they'll probably be fine

um but one way or another it's going to

be negotiated I think something close to

the current border K CLA Schwab what

about

him I feel like you want to talk about

CLA Schwab every single

day he hasn't done anything new has

he

um could a judge or jury be better I

don't

know they'll use more advanced weapons

if they have

them Dave Rubin says it's true well but

did Dave Rubin see the form I mean we're

looking at the same stuff aren't

we

all

right secret

followers oh I I guess there's a the

clips of me with Russell Brand just

dropped the first clip might be more

than one clip but if you want to see me

uh talking to Russell Brand I guess that

just just

dropped forgot the part what

uh should be on YouTube probably Rumble

as

well the run out of ammo

yeah all right um YouTube thanks for

joining I hope you had a good

experience and and if you don't like all

the commercials on here consider joining

uh joining

locals all right uh I guess you're going

to go watch den den Bonino on Rumble now

bye for

now
