Episode 2358 CWSA 01/19/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called coffee with Scott Adams and you're in the place that you want to be I mean honestly I'm a little jealous of all of you because you get to watch this you know it's fun to do it that's why I'm here but wow do I envy you right now Today's show is going to be lit I've got a theme no it won't be the usual random miscellaneous I got a theme you're going to love it but before we get to that would you like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny human brains if you want to do that all you need is a cup or a muger a glass a tankered cheler Stein a canteen juger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and happens now go yes all right well that is just the beginning of your happiness um I may have mentioned before uh my new coffee maker now it turns out that my coffee maker is the theme in a conceptual way for the rest of the show so I've got this high-end melee coffee maker which is quite an amazing machine here's the concept the concept is you buy this you know high-end machine you have it plumbed into your kitchen so you never have to add water it's got these big containers you put your coffee beans in and it grinds it and makes this incredible coffee with a crem on it and you can have you know various different kinds of special coffees and it's all with one button you just walk in you know boom brilliant coffee now is that a good idea it is right can you imagine what a good idea that is now it's especially good for somebody like me because I'm a creative person so exactly the time of day that I'm in my creative mode you don't want to have to mess with making coffee you just want to push a button and stay in your head and then when it's done you pick it up and you stay in your head and you're always in flow you you've heard that term Flow State you hear it for programmers computer programmer it takes them a long time maybe to get into the right mindset for programming but once you're in it you do not want to get out of it because as soon as you get out you have that whole wind up again to get back into it if you even can now that's even twice as important for a person who writes or makes Comics because I've got to be in exactly the right frame of mind for hours like hours every day I have to be in a certain mindset or it just doesn't work now if you all agree that the concept is amazing you can stay in your Flow State push one button have not just a good cup of coffee but an exceptional cup of coffee at the concept level who wouldn't want that it's all good right now let me tell you what actually happens in the real world in the real world it's such a you know a marvelous invention that it's designed to tell you when there's any kind of flaw you know like a a fault or something's not lined up just right it also tells you when a part of it needs to be cleaned you know different parts at different times um it's got some maintenance built in that runs occasionally Etc and the net effect of it is that nearly 100% of the time you go to have your coffee it turns you into a maintenance worker sometimes the beans need to be refilled sometimes the uh The Brew unit needs to be washed sometimes something's misaligned sometimes the head is out in place sometimes the coffee uh the excess coffee grounds is full and sometimes the water spillover uh thing is full sometimes needs to be descaled sometimes it needs to be cleaned and that's just a starter set so what does this sound like to you the concept is amazing in concept one button stay in Flow State boom delicious coffee yeah nailed it in reality I curse at my machine go completely on a flow State and I'm changing the beans like this morning I think there were two faults this morning two cups of coffee two two maintenance things I had to do it's one for one you know over time it's one for one every now and then you'll get a coffee cup a coffee without problems now could that be fixed probably because the only thing it would take is for it to warn me in advance when my coffee beans were starting to get low so I could choose to do the maintenance when I'm not in Flow State so the problem is if you're ever in Flow State you just can't use this device you just can't you you you've got to do something else because it'll take you right out now does this sound like a lot of government policy that at the concept level who could argue with that push one button get a delicious cup of coffee stay in Flow State everybody should be in favor of that but then in the real World it doesn't work anything like that that ladies and gentlemen is my theme for today but let's start with some backward science uh ABC news your source for Reliable science says that there's a research that shows that yes it's true that men do tend to have better navigational skills in women but the new study revealed the reason for it is not anything genetic like if you thought there was some like natural gender sex difference well first of all you're a pig and second of all ABC News is here to tell you is not based on any kind of natural difference it's based on the fact that boys tend to play outside more often they're they're more encouraged to play Outdoors so so they learn their navigational skills by playing Outdoors totally believable right everybody every bit of that made sense to you I mean common sensely that just makes sense right because let me tell you where I learned to navigate because I'm one of those men with navigational skills it was in my backyard I remember my sister would stay in and you know she'd play with dolls but I'd go into the yard still within full view of my house and I'd play around out there well I was developing navigational skills because every time I left the house within visual distance of the house I could get back to it and I'm not bragging I mean the other boys could do it too but boy if you let a girl out in the backyard and you say it's time for dinner the boys are like yay and they run back in the house because they got this navigational skills how in the world did that just break all right I just had a complete failure on the locals platform so if you don't mind I'm going to call them back up whoa it's making me log in again oh wow this is dead as a door now might not be able to get this back but let's see it's asking me to log back in which I've never seen before in the middle of a live stream so it looks like they had a hiccup all right almost done see this is called getting out of Flow State so I was in this beautiful I was in this beautiful flow really heading for something here all right we're back uh one click and we'll be back live again hello locals did you miss me we had we had a little catastrophic failure there it made me log out log back back in but we're all good all right so here's the PARTA you missed ABC news says that boys have better navigational skills but it's because they play outdoors more and it's not even because they want to play Outdoors it's because people encourage boys to play Outdoors so as I was saying you know my brother and my sister and I would be playing in the backyard and mom would say it's time for dinner my brother and I having these good negotiate you know these good navigation skills we'd like okay there's the house here's me I can solve for this and I'd walk like toward the house and I'd go inside that's called good navigational skills but my sister God bless her soul she'd be out in the house and she'd be looking at it and she'd be like I can see it but how do I get to it and honestly she's still there she died in the yard so we'll miss her all right sorry sis she's listening to this right now she's laughing you're laughing right you're laughing right no she did not get lost in the yard because she has excellent navigational skills and as a second part of the story I have terrible navigation skills I don't have any navigational skills I have none I have good spatial skills but I don't pay attention when I go anywhere so I can never get back here's what I think is happening uh here's what I really think the science is without any benefit of any studies I believe that after let's say 300,000 years of uh humanoid Evolution that boys are designed to go hunt and control territory the men are designed by Evolution to hunt and to control territory militarily if if we don't have a military we'll do it with football if we don't have football we will literally whip out our penis and spray down your lawn so we you know dominate it own it a little bit we're basically owned for ter we're built for territory so when I go into a place I'm thinking territory you know when I play football I'm trying to gain a yard right and if I'm playing a game I'm trying to make my impact be as large as possible if I'm a battery the baseball game I don't want a bunt I mean sometimes I have to but I want to hit a home run th thus increasing the physical range of my impact so boys I think evolve to be all about the physical space because if they hunt they got to know where to go and they got to know how to get back right so I would think that nature is selected for people who could get back home after the hunt probably it's just that um or it's because boys are encouraged to play more outside right that that's what counts as science well there's a funny video compilation Rand Paul had some fun mocking Nikki Hy so he was retweeting a uh a compilation of uh he says since Nikki Hy is refusing to debate Ron de santis before New Hampshire I present to you Nicki Hy debating herself now the first thing I thought was oh it's going to be one of those AI things where somebody has an AI Nikki hilly debating herself nope it was actually video clips of her saying I will not do X and Then followed by we should really do X but I will not do y followed by you know would be a really good idea a lot of why so it's actually hilarious that she doesn't seem to have any standards or philosophical Mooring or anything yeah she just sort of going with whatever is going to get or elected so that's hilarious if you want to see that as in my X feed uh I guess the courts a judge said that Trump can be on the ballot in Washington state which is a big deal because uh this I guess it was the 14th Amendment uh was trying to be used to say he's a damn insurrectionist and so he can't be on the ballot but the judge said no now can somebody give me an update so so far he's not been denied the ballot of any state right in in a confirmed final way there's there may be some still challenges but so far he's on every ballot right okay yeah I think he's on every B I think it's going to stay that way yeah it there may be some temporary hiccups but I feel like if it came to the Supreme Court how is that going to go any other way right the Supreme Court is not going to keep him off the ballot I don't I don't see how it could all right well so we'll see so I see you mentioning Maine but you know until it's election day I think you can assume that that will get corrected maybe not all right um but anyway that's good news so Tucker Carlson had a new video he has a theory that basically goes like this that what the Democrats are up to according to Tucker the the evidence would suggest that their strategy looks like this uh they know Biden can't win so that's not part of their strategy their strategy would be more along the lines of supporting Nikki Haley because in some of these primaries um Democrats can just vote for the Republican candidate so I guess Reed Hoffman famous Rich Democrat funer and founder of Linked.

In uh which got sold to Microsoft um he's one of the main funders of not only Nikki Haley um but the lawsuit against Trump for that EG Carrol thing so the same person who's funding Nikki haly's campaign a Democrat is funding a republican um that same Democrat is funding the lawsuit against Trump in the egene Carol now that's not the only things he's funding but it get you a little sense of him there are some who claim and I don't know if this is true that he visited Epstein Island do you think is that true or is that just another one of those rumors because there are people on my list that really did not go to Epstein Island so I'm going to say I don't know that's true I'm going to not state that to be true I'm going to state that to be something somebody claimed because if I don't have a picture of him on the island I'm not going to Bas it on somebody's list on the internet so whether or not that's true and I and I'm going to say uh I'll assume innocence until proven guilty remember that's always the standard that that's an accusation but he's not the government right Reed Hoffman is a private citizen so you should assume that he's innocent of anything illegal unless somebody really proves it in court anything short of that he's innocent so I'm not going to buy that he's on the list or that he's ever been to the island or anything like that however may I remind you that we don't have the Epstein list or the videos which means that somebody does Whoever has the videos is who's running the country you know that right Whoever has the Epstein stuff it was all designed to Blackmail the most important people do you think whoever had that power like the power of Thanos you know at all the Rings do you think they said you know this is too dangerous we better put this in a in a drawer somewhere no now Whoever has his blackmail material still controls whoever Epstein was trying to control and the thing is that you just have to hint that you have it and you've got all the control you need hey you know uh I would never I would never out you as being on Epstein Island and having illegal sex I I would never do that but I do have the videos I do have the videos they're in my control but I would never I would never show them to anybody by the way you know it would be a great idea is if you were to fund the Democratic party to the tune of $20 million did a separate conversation no no I'm not tying it to the fcen no no no no I would never I would never show that stuff in public I have it all and it would it would take a lot for me to want to like show it in public or leak it or something but you know I just want you to know I have it all right you don't need to directly blackmail anybody if they know you have the goods or if they suspect it so there might be more than one blackmailer there might be a blackmailer who has the stuff and there might be another blackmailer who's even smarter who is pretending to have it you know who might potentially have actually had it so I think we're a black mocracy and any sense that we're a democracy is kind of childish at this point it feels naive to the point of childish we're clearly a a black male driven Place do do you know why the border is not closed there's no American reason there is no American reason for the the border to be the way it is there's none that's clearly an outcome of corruption I don't know the details it could be you know China trying to destroy the fabric of America could be the cartels make so much money they bribed the Congress to let them keep doing it or some combination some combination but I'll tell you what is not it's not a bunch of Americans deciding what's good for America and I'm starting to think that the idea that the Democrats have a clever plan of replacing you know the the white Christian voters with uh brown people from other countries that they can get to vote Democrat I have a contrarian Theory because the Republican standard Republican conservative theory is that it's all a plot to increase the number of democrat voters I think they also want to do that and that's that's why uh which state is it that's going to let them vote the illegal migrants can vote without ID like that's actually Oh California right Arizona was it was actually Arizona you're right Arizona recently said that you could vote if you're illegal you just vote they just decide to ignore the Constitution or something so here's what I think I don't think that's the main reason behind the open borders there's something else driving that and there's something thing to destroy the country not to make Democrats stronger but while it's happening Democrats quite wisely I assume say well if they're going to come here anyway we might as well take advantage of it and let them vote because I think they'll vote for us so I think that the whole replacement theory is a head fake meaning that in practice something like it is really happening there there will be more voters of a different type than are already here if things go the way they are but I don't think that's what's starting it I think that's just people taking advantage of a situation that was going to happen anyway so whatever is behind it we don't exactly know but you have to assume corruption in Congress because at the very least if somebody just disagrees politically they would make an argument for what they're doing nobody on the Democrat side is making an argument for it they're literally saying it's not happen happening all right explain that nor a normal topic would be two people with an argument that they disagree this isn't that no this is not two people with some kind of philosophical disagreement this is something that's coming from the outside I don't know where my guest is the cartels have bought Congress but it could be something else right yeah so uh not replace but combin yeah so I think the replacement parts the add-on I don't think that's the underlying cause all right here's some fake news that you probably believed uh the fake new oh by the way the other the alternative to Tucker theory that uh the Nikki hilly is like the the secret Democrat and Republican clothing that they're going to try to sneak in there as a as like a a hidden Democrat that's plausible I'm not sure I completely buy into that but it's plausible the alternative theory is that the Democrats know Biden is shot but they also knew that having a president of low capability was working for the Deep State or the people who wanted I don't know military things to happen whatever so they may say you know it would be the best thing is another low capability president that we can control so so that theory would say let's let's limp Biden over the Finish Line we we'll just get him there one way or the other and then he immediately retires for health reasons and kamla takes over and she's easy to control because she is an idiot you know I'm very reluctant to say somebody who's risen to the highest levels of politics has any kind of mental deficiency because you know this seems deep unlikely but the more you listen to her the more you think no the base problem is you're not smart or even a little bit smart about you know important things she might have a good memory you know so she can get through law school and stuff like that but she seems not smart that seems to be the basic problem all right imagine imagine that it's today and you still believe that January 6 was an insurrection at what point does that become embarrassing if ever to imagine that trespassing was the way that a bunch of scraggly people who who were there for the purpose of protecting the Republic against what they thought was a fraudulent election that the the real plan was to conquer the military of the United States and take power by trespassing or something so I would ask you to just ask your Democrat friends who still believe that hoax to to connect the dots and simply describe how those protesters were going to get control of the nuclear Triad like what what were the steps after the trespassing surrender you know what was the military on the verge of surrendering to them just connect the dots I'm I'm not asking for I'm not even disagreeing with you you just tell me what you're thinking and then I'll tell you if I agree or not but I haven't heard what you're thinking just tell me your actual opinion show me how you believed that trespassing and taking selfies and abusing elector were going to lead in a cause and effect you know a leads to B way to physical control of the country do you know how you could have defeated that Insurrection you could put a fence around it and wait till way for them to starve they didn't have weapons there's no Insurrection that would ever be easier to thwart than the people who didn't have food and they locked themselves in a building so to imagine that you still thought there was something like an Insurrection is embarrassing at this point so I think you should treat it that way when it comes up as just mock it as the most ridiculous belief Michael shellenberger has a whole uh thread and post on this today that people still think it was an Insurrection is basically stupid all right here's some fake news um do you believe that Joe Biden has inaccurately said in public a number of times including recently that his oldest son bo uh died because of Iraq or in Iraq because of the war how many think that Joe Biden is so dumb he thinks that Bo died in the Iraq War when the truth is that he died of a brain tumor uh well after the war for what well after he left the war all right so here's the truth of that that's fake news so Biden said it again but there was a community note apparently what Biden believes because he's spoken at greater length about it he doesn't believe his son died in Iraq he does not believe that he died of military action and his never said that he says he died because of Iraq specifically he believed beles that bow was too close to I think the burn the burn bits or something something that would have uh poisoned him and that the uh exposure may have been the reason for his brain tumor that killed him well after he was out of the military it was some kind of chemical Cobalt I know I don't know what the details are now do you think Joe Biden knows that's true do you do it or is it true I is it have the medical professionals said yeah we're pretty sure that's what caused it it's hard to prove but here's what is true if that's true if it's true then see see if I have this right didn't Joe Biden support the Iraq War didn't he and wasn't the Iraq War optional so Joe Biden supported an optional War which in his own telling killed his own son is that fair that he supported a war that in his own opinion killed his son now what about the Ukraine war do you think that Hunter would be in the trouble that he's in Legally if there was not a President Biden forging a war in Ukraine with Russia I don't think I don't think Hunter would be in trouble so Hunter is likely to end up in jail or dead you know if he does something because he doesn't want to go to jail um because of his father entering a second optional War so you've got a father who may have in his own belief supported a war that killed his son an optional War not a war of National Defense an optional war and is supporting another optional war in a sense you know optional is you have to stretch that definition a little bit but did he kill both of his sons is he in the process of killing both of his sons for Unnecessary Wars Now kill or jail or you know mentally disable or ruin his life in some way now I'm not saying that you know Hunter is innocent and should not have the consequences of justice but I'm right right has anybody connected these dots before that Joe Biden killed his both of his sons with two optional Wars I I haven't seen anybody say it but to me that's the most mind-blowing part of this whole story that he's so lame that his own sons are dying because of his optional Wars do do you know what uh uh don Jr is doing this weekend well I don't know but he's probably not defending himself against uh money laundering in Ukraine I don't know for sure do you do you know what uh Baron Trump is doing this weekend I don't know but he's not dying of a brain tumor because he went to an optional war in Iraq that's not happening right there's a big difference between Trump and Biden there's a really big difference it it's so big that it's almost if it weren't full of tragedy it would be humorously big the difference between their performances one got us into into two Wars that killed his own family and that didn't even slow him down he's still in favor of it and Trump is whatever is the opposite of that all right um MSNBC is Tiffany cross who I guess is no longer with MSNBC uh one of her biggest complaints was that she she got a show on MSNBC but that her bosses kept telling her she wasn't spending enough time trashing Trump and she kept saying versions of okay I mean that's important story too but what about all these other stories and I'm paraphrasing of course but her but her bosses said yeah yeah yeah but you really got to bash Trump okay but not all the time I mean I could do other stories too and they were pretty much no no no there really are no other stories we really need you to pass Trump so this is another one of those it was exactly what it looked like because when you watch them inbc you said to yourself This doesn't look like news this looks like a bunch of people bashing Trump and that's all it is there's like literally nothing else and that's exactly what it was the executives were trying to make the staff do nothing but remember I tell you you have to know the players I already talked about that Reed Hoffman so I don't know what's true with Reed Hoffman but the concept I should have mentioned before is that if you only hear the news you don't know anything because the news doesn't tell you how the players are connected with the other players for example if the only thing you knew was that Eugene Carroll was suing Trump you say oh this like a personal thing and you know maybe there's something to it Etc but if you knew that the lawsuit was being funded by a Democrat who wants to get Trump you say to yourself oh that's not necessarily true then is it I mean I don't know if it's true or not I don't want to get ass sued for liel I'm just saying that as soon as you put you know ugly money behind it all the credibility goes away so if you don't know there's ugly money behind something you don't really have the full picture do you so there's that all right um there's a viral video of what's being called a angel mom whose daughter was uh died from a fenel overdose so I guess I would make me an angel stepdad because my stepson died of a fentel overdose but she was in Congress talking to Dan Goldman who was doing his best to try to get her to support his point of view which is that the Democrats say they want extra funding for border patrol and Dan Goldman is trying to get her to say but so you would agree you know I'm paraphrasing you would agree that if fenel coming across the border is a problem and you of course it is then adding more border patrol would be one step toward increasing that problem and do you know what the angel mom said again paraphrasing nope because I've been to the border and you haven't if you talk to the border patrol they'll tell you they're making sandwiches for the migrants if you add more people they will make more sandwiches if you make more sandwiches you'll have more people coming because I like sandwiches if you add more people do you know what that's like hey Dan Goldman I've got a coffee maker for you in concept all you have to do is push the button and you get a delicious cup of coffee so everything's good about that right Dan Goldman no in the real world they're making sandwiches and this this Angel mom she not only destroyed him but she she knelt on his neck it was a it was just a joy to watch and the joy was not you know the subject is so tragic it's it's almost unimaginable literally unimaginable but watching Dan Goldman not understanding anything about how the real world works and thinking he can just push the button on that coffee maker and get a delicious cup of coffee and then having his reality Shattered by somebody who said you've never been there have you you've never been to the Border beautiful just beautiful all right how about uh oh AI education I was going to talk about this at first but um so Tyler Cowan writing in marginal Revolution says there might be two ways of AI will change education one is it might make better videos like KH Academy and come up with tests on its own and you know maybe it does lesson plans and just does like some kind of video teaching now that would be good but as Tyler um Cowen points out on marginal Revolution that uh the other model might be better which is having AI or robot as a companion and then you just hang around with your companion and it kind of teaches you about life as it goes not necessarily you know teaching you spelling or something like that but sort of giving you life advice that would maybe put you in the right mindset to go learn how to spell on your own you know basically setting you up for success by being effectively a smart parent following you around all the time but you would think it's just your buddy yeah mentor and I agree with that because specifically what I wanted was a robot and I will have one I will have this robot probably the first Tesla that comes out and I wanted to follow follow me around and I want to be able to turn to it and say you know what I keep hearing about this Sumerian civilization was that like the first civilization and what kind of technology did they have in what what part of the country or the world were they in and and it just tells you and then you're just walking down the street and suddenly you know about the Sumerian culture that literally is something I did with AI the other day I always wanted to learn about Sumeria but I was never interested enough to like research it in front of the computer but while I was you know doing you know just doing my morning routine I had my AI out so I just told it to get me a lesson on Sumeria so it did now I know so that's the way I like to learn uh Dr huberman's talking about a new study that says that uh love can reduce pain do you believe that that if you're in love the region of the brain that handles that Euphoria interferes with the pain part of the yeah I mean it feels like it now what is the thing that causes you the most pain love what's the thing that helps reduce your pain love so it's not a perfect system is it the the only thing that can reduce your pain naturally is the thing that causes most of it uh when it goes bad but uh my my only addition to this is that this is an example of brain hacking now it's not one you can do easily because you can't just say oh I'll fall in love if I want to get rid of my pain but as a hypnotist this is the sort of brain hacking I've been doing all my life and let me describe what I mean by that brain hacking is uh taking advantage this is my personal definition taking advantage of The Accidental connections that exist in your brain that are never activated because they're only accident acal connections it doesn't it doesn't occur to you to even activate them they're just an accident of of geography you know there's something in your brain that's like physically next to or connected to something else and you can do everything from change your preferences to change your mindset if you can find those weird accidental connections like love and pain now love and pain like I said you couldn't you couldn't work with that because you can't optionally fall in love but there's a whole bunch of stuff that you can do that would hack your brain in different ways to make yourself more effective so it's a it's a larger thing which once you learn how to do it it really does change everything if you don't realize you can change your own brain not just by education but fundamentally reprogramming what connects to what so it's just a different machine then you really lose now because your brain is very very programmable not not just learning not just learning but to become a different machine like you can actually change the structure of the machine through your behavior well Trump is arguing that President should have total immunity and if you haven't heard this argument the argument is that um no matter what the president did the other team would say it's illegal and then they would always just be prosecuting the president and there wouldn't be anything else now let's do the real world versus the concept concept nobody's above the law that even if the president breaks a law like murdering somebody right I mean the is more important that the president is held to the standard of law just like wouldn't it be great to get a cup of coffee just by pushing one button yeah let's just hold everybody to the standard that nobody's above the law then people will not want to break the law and we're all better off right yeah delicious coffee but in the real world that place where Trump resides that place that connects Trump to every you know working class person is that the real world has no connection to your Concept in the real world the day somebody took office they would already be under attacked by the other team to try to put him in jail it's all they would do now if you don't think that's all they would do you haven't been paying attention because they have the power to impeach so what did the Democrats do all day they tried to impeach him all day and to the point of not even doing the people's work they were doing that while the the pandemic was unfolding and they weren't paying attention right so the real world if you give somebody a hammer they start hitting that's it you give somebody a hammer they're going to hear some you think it's just going to be Nails don't you well maybe if you're lucky no but if you have a hammer you're could to probably hit more than a nail all right so Trump is right about that and then uh one of the I guess some judge asked this dumb question which is are you saying that if on the last day of office the president ordered SEAL Team Six to kill his political opponent that that that should be completely okay right so you're saying now I think we need to get better judges can can I explain how the real world works let me explain how the real world works the president gets SEAL Team Six together and says I want you to kill my opponent SEAL Team Six then tells their bosses and that guy goes to jail forever that's how the real world Works SEAL Team Six isn't going to go kill your political opponent in the real world now suppose they did suppose suppose that actually happened and then suppose we knew all right if nobody knows that's a whole different story but suppose we knew and he said yeah I did it I got immunity too bad Neer ner do you think that that President could then just go out in the world having murdered somebody in front of all of us and just live their life no somebody would kill them somebody would try and their family could never go out in public again you know their entire life would be basically never leaving the house and yeah no nobody's going to kill their opponent on the last day of the presidency because nobody thinks that works it's ridiculous right so in the real world Trump is 100% right you can't have presidents you know being charged with crimes for what they do in office you just can't he's he's 100% right and their counter examples are just stupid Peter Navaro it looks like he's going to jail uh or where he might the Department of Justice is seeking six months in prison because he defied subpoena over the January 6th thing his claim was that he was covered under executive privilege uh and Immunity but that claim is you know sketchy according to the courts uh but let's add Peter Navaro to the pardon list because we see more and more examples of Republicans being hunted and we don't believe that this would have happened into a Democrat necessarily um and this is my most motivating topic so we got a lot of critical things that have to happen from the border to everything else so there's lots and lots of considerations when you're looking for a new president but my number one consideration is the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the pardons I'll take that over everything I'll take that over everything just give me that one thing and uh and that's why I could easily support of aake or a trump or a disantis because I think they'll all end up in the same place on the pards I think I hope um but uh yeah the weaponized justice system against Republicans has to be the first thing we fix it has to be you got to fix that because that's that's like having something shoved down your throat and then somebody's inviting you to dinner and asking you why you're not eating well maybe it's because you shoved a broomstick down my entire throat like get that out first and then we could talk about the other stuff so yeah you better you better get those guys out of prison right away all right um and by the way that every second between now and the time a republican frees those people which I hope is what's going to happen is a disgrace it's a disgrace and to the country I was going to say embarrassment but I don't get embarrassed the country should be embarrassed like I I don't think you can show your head in public when you're like this I I think that we have nothing to say to other countries I think we should just shut the up about they're abusing civil rights or whatever we think they they're doing yeah yeah now if we're putting our own citizens in jail for political reasons I know I know there's crimes involved too but we all agree pretty sure in the real world these crimes would have been ignored you know as just protests so uh let's talk about something else so you know the Congress was trying to figure out a deal that uh if uh if Democrats would agree on something on the border maybe rep Republicans would agree on something on the budget so they're trying to reach a some kind of deal that was both border security and budget do you know why that can't work there's there's a reason it can't work by design it can't work here's what can work you can negotiate when the two of you don't want exactly the same things or things that are you know opposite uh logically if I've got a product and you want it and I don't need the product because you know I can make all of them I want but I want your money then we can make a deal because what you and I want are different things you want my product I want your money boom we got a deal we just have to figure out the amount but if you want the same things such as I think I would like uh the Jewish state to exist well what do you think I think I would like it to completely disappear that's not something you can negotiate there's no middle ground between existing and not existing not really um likewise there is no logical way you can make a deal on budget and Border because both sides need both things right the Republicans need the border to be fixed but the Democrats need just as hard for it not to be fixed there's no way to make a deal they want the same limited resource that can only be one way or the other and there and there's nothing in between um same with the budget the Republicans want what they want on the budget the Democrats want what they want on the budget and it's not the same so you can't have the budget being what the Democrats want without it being not what the Republicans want so you you see the point yet I hope I'm being clear you can't negotiate by saying that these two things are your two negotiating variables because there's nothing to work with so the reason it's not solved is that it's unsolvable it can't be solved under that setup now who do you think would know that that can't work Trump because Trump knows how to make a deal he literally knows what the real world looks like and how to make a real business deal and he would know as 100% of all dealmakers know you can't make a deal if there's absolutes involved that can't be violated and the Democrats are never going to be happy with a closed border the Republicans will never be happy with an open one there's not really something in between that anybody's even serious about you know such as you know better vetting something like that there's there's nothing practical even being talked about so no not only will Congress fail they have to it's a designed failure you're going to have to either add another topic so there's something to really negotiate on or get rid of one of the topics so you're just talking about the budget and then then within just the budget maybe you could trade this for that but if you add the complication of immigration to budget how in the world are they going to make a deal on that right just commonsensically how do you reach a deal when you have two things that neither can NE negotiate on so to imagine that the public has been so Bamboozled to think oh we're almost there look at us doing this work we've decided that this is our structure of our deal now we just have to work out the details that can't happen that can't happen they've designed a failed a failed system from the start there's only one way it goes no that's it so I'm going to predict that eventually the Border has to be separated from the budget deal or they're going to have to do something different than whatever this is they're they're not going to make any progress on this and uh Trump has already said you know more to my point that the only deal that the Congress should accept and of course Congress the Republicans are already listening to him because Trump is the presumptive next president they would think um and he's saying the only deal that they should accept is a perfect border deal on top of a perfect budget deal in other words Trump is saying the same thing I'm doing different language but he's saying these are not things that you trade one for the other but he he just says it in a better way really no I want both of them perfect because that's what the country needs they need a budget that works they need a border that works don't tell me you're going to give me a bad border so I can get a better budget that's a sucker play you walk away from that deal you walk away from the roof if that's the only structure they're dealing with so Trump is right he's saying either either we shove this completely down your throat or we need to negotiate with a whole different process you know but but no we're not going to take half of this to get half of the other thing I agree with them uh which means that they can't get anywhere all right here's a thought experiment for you um try this with your your Dem grab friends goes like this I I posted this so if you want to send it to him in my words you can it's on my ex um feed so thought experiment all right imagine one American state that implements nothing but mainstream Republican policies and they don't even have to argue about it right there's nobody on the other side they just go full Republican in every way from the school system to taxes to law enforcement everything then there's another state it goes the other way and it's full Democrat policies right they got everything from reparations to uh Sanctuary City and high taxes for the you know the rich people just the whole boat then you wait 25 years and now ask your Democrat friend to describe both States 25 years from now what do you think will happen well yeah in the real world I'll tell you what would happen then I'll tell you what happens if you ask somebody about it all right so I've got a hypothesis that Republicans can predict the future with Eerie Precision on this test so if you said all right how do those two states work out the Republicans say well the Republican state has well educated people who are doing well and the families and you know everything looks good and then they would you would say to the Republicans well how think the Democrat State went they say oh 25 years of that probably has decayed into something like you know those areas in Seattle that were run by the street people what was that called yeah it's probably a complete failed State Chaz the Chaz Chaz is actually a perfect example of what the entire state would be if they used the same policies as within Chaz which apparently Democrats were happy enough with Chaz ja and chop yeah it's funny those those those things that young people will never hear they'll never hear about Chaz and chop all right so here's what I think under that condition the migrants would flood only the Democrat state so all the migrants that would have ordinarily hypothetically gone to both States would go only to the one state um in unlimited numbers and all the rich people in the Democrat state would eventually move to the other state for lower tax because if it's just Democrats they're going to take like a 90% tax on the richest people you know that right so nobody's going to stay there and pay a 90% tax if they're mobile and all rich people are mobile so they would just immediately pull up stakes and move to another state so you lose all your rich people so you lose your tax base uh then the poor people would move to your state because you got better benefits so you'd have poor people moving from the Republican state to the Democrat state to get benefits You' have the rich people moving from the Democrat state to the Republican state now wait 25 years and game that out it only goes one way there's only one possible outcome to that a complete failed state in one case and a marvelous Happy State in the other now you could argue oh they're not so happy because abortion is illegal in the Republican state and you'd have some you know at least that's a debate that um I would respect the debate no matter which way it goes but in general you would have a failed State and you would have one successful one so here's what I would like to add we we're in this weird imaginary world where we imagine that Republicans and Democrats differ on policy preferences that's what you think right because every conversation about politics is uh I like this policy you like that policy I don't think anything like that's happening my filter says that the people who can do math and can imagine the future in other words they can imagine what's happening today and then projected in their mind into the future that they're all on the same side and the people who don't have the ability to imagine how current situations would unfold in the future either because they're mentally Limited in some cases but more often because they just don't have that training or exposure to that kind of stuff have you noticed that Democrats skew young and Republicans skew old people under 25 literally don't have developed brains and people under 30 literally don't have as much experience as everybody who's 31 everybody who's 31 has more experience than everybody who 30 and so by time you reach your 50s and 60s it really makes a difference so this is the difference of the coffee maker one button versus the taking you in a flow state if you're young that coffee maker sounds like the best freaking idea seriously one button I love that but if you're my age and as soon as you saw how many features this thing had you said to yourself oh I know how this is going to go I still like it I still recommend it by the way it's a good machine um well the the M makes way better coffee than a Mr.

Coffee and Mr.

Coffee is a fine device as well but there's no there's no comparison of the taste yeah because the coffee machine has this Crema like this airfill thing that's like a replacement for cream and sugar it's amazing so anyway um so young people I think listen to Democrat ideas and they say I like that idea because I like pushing my coffee maker one button and having everything I want older people say that coffee maker has got more more features than you need you're just going to be fixing that and that's the difference so the difference is purely on being able to project what's happening today into the future and being good at math that's it there there's no such thing as democrat or republican there's just people who are better at math and can imagine the future better they science did an experiment once in which they took people who were having trouble saving for the future and they made a like an AI CGI was CGI in those days an image of the person uh older so you could see yourself looking older and then people would save more because they were saving themselves they saw a picture of themselves as an old person they wanted to protect that person because it's them so they basically helped people who couldn't imagine the future on their own now my career has had some success but I also imagined it perfectly from the age of six every part of my entire life I imagined pretty much exactly the way it unfolded which is not an accident you know because I caused it to go in the direction that I wanted it to unfold so here's my hypothesis if you gave this uh thought experiment to a Democrat and a republican the Republicans would laugh and say that's an easy one the Republican states doing great the Democrat state becomes a socialist hellhole and would be right you say this to a Democrat what do you think they would say would they say you know the Democrat one's going to be like a Utopia and the Republican one is going to have no abortion no rights everybody has to you know be like uh I don't know some religious fanatic or something would they say that I have a hypothesis that they would change the topic so go like this Here's my thought experiment you know one state does this one state does the other what happens in 25 years describe it oh you're one of those Trump supporters okay I might be or it might not be but that has nothing to do with the topic what do you think these two states would do don't try this with me you Trump supporter uh you know that's how it would go so my hypothesis is that you would you would soon learn that Democrats can't game forward the current system to know what it turns into what do you think and that we just imagine it's a philosophical differences not at all it's just math and ability to imagine the future uh Constantine uh kissen said this he said that on acent she said the people who are the strongest advocates for Western Civilization are people like me who have experienced the alternative which is similar to what I'm saying so Constantine says he has this thing called experience and he knows that this set of activities leads to something he's lived through and it's hell now he's a a youngish guy so in this case he had a real life experience which caught him you know put him up to speed pretty quickly yeah he's 38 that's a young guy I mean by my standards so yes the people who understand cause and effect and math and what leads to what are kind of all on the same side speaking of Jamie Diamond how funny is it that a Democrat and you could argue that Jamie Diamond he's the CEO of JP Morgan You could argue he's the most important Finance Banker money guy in the country is that fair you can say Warren Buffett but that's more of a portfolio situation I think Jamie Diamond would be the number one Banker business guy in the country by reputation as well as job how funny is it that he made national headlines and trended for days simply for saying something that was observable and normal it was national news that a prominent Democrat said something normal and observable we can all see it and what he said was um it's not going to turn out well if you demonize magga how do you not know that like like why did Jamie Diamond have to say in public that you really need to knock off the demonizing part of your own public why because Jamie Diamond does not have TDS and he's a certain age where he knows how things work he knows how things work so he's trying to educate his younger Dumber Democrats and he told them directly look you got to cut out this Mega are all bad stuff that that will only lead to bad correct and he said you got to grow up and and understand that Trump has a lot of supporters strictly because he got the big stuff right he said Jamie Diamond says he got taxes right uh China right immigration right something else but just hold in your head the amazingness of the fact that it was national news not that Jamie Diamond said something smart because it's kind of obvious I mean to all of us it's obvious that Trump did a bunch of things that Biden is not getting right obvious and it's obvious that you know demonizing one part of the public can't possibly lead to anything good so when you look at Jamie Diamond he does not look like he's brainwashed you look at his eyes you look at his face you listen to the things he says and he sounds like somebody who is just telling you what's right in front of you right in front of you we all see it and he and being a Democrat who can simply describe what we all see was national news that's how bad it is the the TDs is so bad that when somebody can you know cut through it as JB Diamond did is news I guess I'm just blown away by the fact that it's news that should have been a nothing it should have been a guy was talking right because we should have all been on that page it should have been a guy talking and nobody cared because it would be like well you already thought the obvious all right here's another one uh Federman made news by saying that he believes China should own zero Farmland in the United States again a prominent Democrat made news by saying something that's obvious and observable and how could you disagree with it because and he also said he agrees with disantis you know which I guess made it a little more of a news thing so Federman makes news not because he's disagreeing with Democrats but because the thing he's talking about is both obvious and observable what possible benefit does the United States get from China owning our Farmland they could literally turn off our food if they had enough imagine that they just tell their Farmers to you know leave leave the crops in the field if they owned enough Farmland we'd be begging for food so no it's a terrible idea betterman's right uh Sean Strickland he's a UFC fighter and he's making a lot of uh noise and he you know I already told you about him you doing some anti-woke stuff that made a lot of news but he did it again so he had another event and he just went nuts on the crowd who was just cheering like crazy and he he doesn't like Nike he calls it the Chinese check mark because of the swoosh the Chinese check mark so he sees all of his competitors who were in the Chinese check mark and he's mocking them for literally being marked by China and and I think okay you know my my first impression of them was not you know here's our next leader and the smartest guy in the room that was honestly that wasn't my first impression and then he keeps talking and he wins me over totally won me over like you know I'm not going to say I agree with everything he says you he says some pretty rough stuff but he won me over he's like a real citizen who wants the citizens of the United States to be respected and do well and he doesn't care who he punches to make it happen um and he somebody a fan actually stor Med the uh he he was on a stage at a table with a bunch of other people imagine in today's world somebody from the audience storms the table while he's speaking out in a very provocative way the guy ran up there to shake his hand in the middle of his speech have you ever seen that and here's the best part you seen an adult man coming at you hard after you said provocative things what do you feel well you should feel fear if I'm giving a speech and I see a man stand up and run toward me and run up on stage and lean across the table I'm going into full defensive mode but I'm not a champion UFC fighter do you know what the champion UFC fighter did stood up kept talking shook his hand it was beautiful it was beautiful yeah you have to see it all right um and then you all know that uh president mle M I never say it right of Argentina you know he went to the WF in Davos and basically told them their collectivism ideas are going to make everybody poor and they're all Elite idiots I made up that last part but he implied that now we of course all cheered and saidwell isn't that unique uh that thing that happened one time ever well it turns out it wasn't one time ever so the WF got another little wakeup call from a gentleman named Uh Kevin Roberts who's from um some I think he's some Republican think that kind of guy but he got a audience in other words he was on stage and uh he's a Heritage guy Heritage Foundation guy thank you so Heritage Foundation guy you know conservative leaning uh Enterprise he he's there and here's I'll give them credit so at the wef they let him talk and they did not interrupt him and it wasn't because he was giving a speech he was just in a panel and to have a panel discussion um and the things he said and the fact he wasn't interrupted was kind of impressive so I'm going to give the WF a tentative p on the back for letting both Mele speak they knew what he was going to say right the WF wasn't that surprised and they may have known what this gentleman was going to say because you know the Heritage Foundation so I'm going to give the WF some credit they they allowed the very competing opinions and they gave it some attention now that doesn't clear them of you know every allegation against them or make them the best thing that ever happened but you can't ignore that right it's so rare that somebody will give a full hearing to the other side that it makes news that that's why V ramaswami was so impressive there were a lot of viral videos of him literally doing the same thing here's the microphone you've got this much time tell me what you think and then I'll tell you what I think so the first all compliments to the WF for inviting uh the alter alternative opinions but let me just say what he said and I'm cribbing this from a post by MJ truth Ultra he paraphrase something bit it's longer than this but he says among other things it's laughable that you or anyone would describe Davos as protecting liberal democracy it is equally laughable to use the word dictatorship at Davos and aim that at president Trump president Trump if he's the next president is going to take on the power of the elite so his take was that the people in that room were the elites and that they are the problem and he goes I want to drive home with all due respect you're part of the problem talking to the people who are in the room with them political Elites tell the average person that the reality is x when in fact reality is y and then he gives examples oh he was good yeah I'm paraphrasing so you're missing the like the Beauty and the power of what he said he is really good at talking you know he's he is vake quality communication skills and that's you know highest compliment so you gotta you do yourself a favor and listen to it in his own words because I'm not doing it justice uh he T he gives some examples where they say one thing and it's opposite of facts he says open borders the elites tell you tell us open borders and illegal immigration are okay American Americans don't think that's okay okay now I love the way he says it he could have said it's not okay but that's just a debatable point instead he says the Americans don't think that's okay by majority that's true um on Public Safety he says the elites tell us Public Safety isn't a problem in American cities Americans say that's not true perfect climate change at least say we have this existential crisis that's looming Americans know those Solutions are more harmful than the problem China he says there are number they are number one aary in the US and all free people on Earth uh and all free people on Earth Elites don't acknowledge that they give them a platform the wh is discussing foisting gender ideology upon the globe and Global Elites embrace it Trump will understand the basic biological reality of manhood and Womanhood and then he says Donald Donald Trump will be in power not to guide sheep oh wait did he say that or did uh no he didn't say that that was a comment on his post U somebody said this uh I wish I knew if it was him so maybe you can give me a fact CH oh he said it I'm getting a confirmation he said it so let me read the quote uh Donald Trump will be in power not to guide sheep but to awaken lions that might be the best thing I've ever heard in my life oh M said it did M say that so we have some question about who's the author of it but it's very repeatable yeah more people are saying M said it than uh than this gentleman but uh let let us uh let us summarize Jamie Diamond speaking out in favor of reason over TDS two very very capable people went to the WF and told them they are the problem never seen that before um this UFC fighter Strickland he's basically just putting it out there so and and of course Elon Musk you know is our maybe the champion of free speech making all of this possible so there is a dad energy that is unmistakable do you all see it yet do you see the dad energy now when I say Dad I don't mean male I mean there's a certain energy to the the the strong parent so I'm going to throw into dad energy the so-called uh Angel mom who who just wiped the floor with Dan Goldman that angel mom if you if you watch that video and you watch her talk you don't want to with her she she may be uh and she is an attractive woman but boy does she have Dad energy that's dad energy she didn't come there to take prisoners she came there for war and let me tell you her navigational skills are probably good right I'll bet her navigational skills are good I don't think she was just playing with dolls indoors when the boys were outside so she's got some stuff right she has she has some real character um but I think this is now a trend that will be hard to reverse and uh I'm going to give you a little pallet cleanser here you're probably aware that Mark cubin is pro Dei and has been saying things some things on the xplatform in favor of it um not every body agrees but here's why and I've been part of that conversation with him and so his view if I can paraphrase it correctly is that a company will do better by pursuing Dei type of goals because uh diversity is an advantage and you can get a equally good employee but then you get the the double advantage that diversity you know gives you better let's say let's say a better understanding of the market um just really in a variety of ways I would agree diversity gives you benefits now the question is not that diversity gives you benefits that's never really been the key question the question whe is whether there are other expenses to it now this is this is again the coffee machine problem if I said hey I got a concept we're going to increase diversity but we're not going to give up anything in terms of the quality the employees what do you think are you are you down with that because that's that's the world that Mark cubin thinks he lives in the world where you can increase diversity and you're not only not spending anything to do it you're G just gaining you know it's it's a pure gain you get the same quality employee and you get the diversity too and that's good on a variety of uh planes now do you recognize that yet that's the coffee machine with one button do you know what I'd love to do I would love to increase diversity without any impact on anything else and everybody else is just does just as well but that's not really the real world is it it's not even close do you remember when Bernie Sanders had to be schooled by Bill Maher that what he thought was Equity that the Democrats are pushing was nothing like what Bernie Sanders thought it was because in the real world you don't get to push one button on the coffee machine and it works every time in the real world Equity turns into Equity of outcomes which is first of all impossible and second of all destroys every civilization guaranteed Bernie Sanders didn't even know that it's one of the main platforms of the Democrat Party of which he is one of the main characters and didn't know let me tell you why I didn't know Bernie Sanders has never been a middle class white guy applying for a job right Bernie Sanders has never been a middle class white guy applying for a job if you've not been one of those you're blind do you know what Mark Cuban has never been a middle class white guy applying for a job now is Bernie Sanders a a an idiot I don't think so if you measured his IQ I'm sure it' be fine I'm sure it' be fine he just is is blind to a part of reality that other people live every day is Mark Cuban uh dumb because he disagrees with me nope every indication is he's super smart but is Mark Cuban ever been a middle class white guy trying to get a job in a big company including his has he ever been a white middle class white guy trying to get a job at Mark Cuban's company um now I will agree with Mark Cuban on the following concept there definitely can be companies that increase diversity and get even better people than they might have gotten because they're maybe trying harder to you know look for the hidden gems and maybe his company is exactly one of those as possible so my theory is not that there can't can't be a company that does better in every way of course they could because there's a variety of everything all the time and maybe his company is one and that would be a laudable accomplishment I mean if we talk to his uh white middle class employees at Cuban companies which I'd love to do by the way I'd love to see if they say the same thing you know I didn't think you could get this diversity and also get all the right employees and no racial division or anything but he did it like he he pulled it off in our company so you know maybe other companies could try it too but here's the problem it's a math problem and if if the school systems are not creating the um the supply of let's say just to use one example uh black female stem Majors then if you're a company who's trying to increased diversity in that area once all the good ones are scooped up by the you know the Apple in the ibms what are you going to do are you going to not do diversity because it's just hard or are you going to do diversity let me tell you a management rule that I know Mark cubin knows so there there's something mysterious about his support of this um all right well I just lost my trade of thought the uh if if you're hiring from a li mited pool it's just math there just there's not enough people there so even if Mark cubin made it work that would suggest that the companies in the physical environment of Mark Cuban's businesses have a smaller pool to pick good employees from it has nothing to do with anybody's genes it's not a racial discussion at all it's purely numbers if they're just more of something you know it's easier to find them that's it so in the real world you end up with a situation like uh I think it was a muse said that he tried to get a job and they told him over the phone uh no we're not hiring white people we're we're not hiring straight white people like directly now do you think Mark cubin is aware I think I said you might I might have sent him that but do you think he's aware that that's the normal situation or because I think he would think it would be un unusual um now he did make one good point one good point is that people don't really know who's the best employee most of the time most of the time people look kind of similar you know if you pick the top 10 applicants they're kind of look about the same so you don't really know if the black or the white one's going to do better so in that case you might as well increase your diversity because you don't know that you're getting a better or worse employee it's unknowable so you might as well get the the certain benefit of the diversity that's not a terrible argument but it's only a conceptual one in the real world there just aren't enough people you can't get fast to math they just don't exist in proper numbers so the the solution of course is to put all of your your work oh my God not again it happened again did I tell all of you that I was having this problem of seeing the word Mayo all the time it's a reticular activation thing like I saw three people whose last name were Mayo in the Mayo Clinic and somebody just sent a comment about mayorcas May orcus starts with mayo which I never noticed until this very moment I got I got a message from somebody who was watching the show when I mentioned mayo and I challenged people that they will see the word mayo and she's I guess she saw it three or four times that that day it was Mayo everywhere did everybody else have that experience after I said you're going to see Mayo a lot did everybody see it a lot the next day no maybe all right some of you did anyway um oh I was going to say you get what you measure so this is the part that I think uh Mark cubin um is forgetting because obviously he knows it that if you're an employee at a big company and and they say there are two things I want you to accomplish number one is improve your diversity and your pay will depend on it but number two is you also have to perform well according to all your basic standards of performance which one are you going to do which one are you going to put all of your energy into well if it's me I'm going to put all of my energy into diversity do you know why because it's measurable at the end of the year they're going to look at your employ emplo and it's either more diverse or it's not and you can know for sure if you succeeded or failed of that so people will put all of their energy into in what can be measured because the other part how did you do on your projects you know what you can do with that well okay my projects didn't work out well but it's definitely not because of anybody I hired who wasn't qualified is because you didn't give me enough budget there was a a problem with the supply chain the vendor lied to me and there was a sort of a macroeconomic problem and then there was the you know the Red Sea there was the the hooes blew up the ship that increased our right so if you're a midlevel manager talking to your boss and the boss says two things I want to check with your performance on your projects and your diversity you're going to nail the diversity because you can just go down lower and lower in the quality of employees because of the math not because of genetics not because of anybody's race just math and Supply uh you're going to lower the quality of your probable output to get the most measurable goal which is the diversity so in the real world uh you don't get what Mark Cuban would like to get which is people saying yes I want diversity but in no way am I going to pick the Lesser employee that's a concept that's one button on the coffee maker and their the real world you'll pick the less employee the less qualified employee every time unless you're the lucky company that you know got to the the small supply of qualified people that you're trying to to add all right um uh and Elon Musk um summarized the entire conversation with two words and the two words are Cuban so I guess I could have shortcutted that but I I don't think the problem is IQ obviously it's not IQ I think whatever Mark cubin is chasing is some combination of uh what he would like the public to see of him which is perfectly reasonable for a public figure um and also probably a blind spot but maybe we can help it with that all right um Jonathan turle tells us that here's another one of those concept versus practice uh so Penn State there was a uh Professor who was suing because he got put into a de Pro Dei program and he was a white guy and here are some of the things that we learned this is from to Le's reporting um so the judge judge uh bstone wrote this in the opinion training on Concepts such as white privilege white fragility implicit bias or critical race Theory can contribute positive can contribute positively to nuanced important conversations about how to form a healthy and inclusive work environment so that's what I said yeah diversity and understanding the whole area can can help it can have some upside but oh there's a butt there's a butt uh but the way these conversations are carried out in the workplace matters oh so in reality the concept doesn't work out so well how did how did it work out in reality let let's check reality according to this case um but the way these conversations carried out in the workplace matters when employers talk about race any race with a constant drum beat of essentialist deterministic and negative language they risk liability under federal law in other words discriminate against white people is what she's trying to say or he's trying to say whoever this is uh I don't know the gender of the judge anyway uh oh is her her uh in her denial of the Penn State motion so they were trying to dismiss the case I guess um they mentioned how the Dei director emailed all employees quote calling on white people to quote feel terrible about quote their own own internalized white supremacy and to quote hold other white people accountable she also noted that the assistant Vice Provost of educational Equity uh led the faculty in an exercise to hold their breath and then they told the white people to hold their breath longer so that they could feel the pain they were literally torturing white men and humiliating them in front of other people as part of their Dei effort they were literally humiliating and making physically uncomfortable the white guy so he sued him now what did the judge say I'm going to summarize the judge yeah it' be a great idea to get a coffee maker that you can just push one button and get a great cup of coffee but in the real world let me tell you what's going to happen and what did happen in the real world it just went to all right and that ladies and gentlemen is my way too long program of the day way too long so I'm going to say goodbye on the uh Rumble and You.

Tube and x uh glad you joined uh by the way my Rumble traffic exceeds my You.

Tube traffic now Ju Just hold that in your head I've been doing You.

Tube every day for what seven years or something I just started Rumble and Rumble traffic most days is way bigger than You.

Tube huh I wonder I wonder what could be behind that huh it's exactly what you think it is in summary ladies and gentlemen sometimes it's exactly what you think it is and uh thanks for joining I will see you guys tomorrow

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization

that's called coffee with Scott Adams

and you're in the place that you want to

be I mean honestly I'm a little jealous

of all of you because you get to watch

this you know it's fun to do it that's

why I'm here but wow do I envy you right

now Today's show is going to be lit I've

got a theme

no it won't be the usual random

miscellaneous I got a theme you're going

to love it but before we get to that

would you like to take this experience

up to levels that nobody can even

understand with their tiny human brains

if you want to do that all you need

is a cup or a muger a glass a tankered

cheler Stein a canteen juger flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like

coffee enjoy me

now for the unparallel pleasure of the

dopamine here the day the thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and happens now

go

yes all right well that is just the

beginning of your

happiness um I may have mentioned before

uh my new coffee maker now it turns out

that my coffee maker is the theme in a

conceptual way for the rest of the

show so I've got this high-end melee

coffee maker which is quite an amazing

machine here's the concept the concept

is you buy this you know high-end

machine you have it plumbed into your

kitchen so you never have to add water

it's got these big containers you put

your coffee beans in and it grinds it

and makes this incredible coffee with a

crem on it and you can have you know

various different kinds of special

coffees and it's all with one button you

just walk in you know

boom brilliant coffee now is that a good

idea it is right can you imagine what a

good idea that is now it's especially

good for somebody like me because I'm a

creative person so exactly the time of

day that I'm in my creative mode you

don't want to have to mess with making

coffee you just want to push a button

and stay in your head and then when it's

done you pick it up and you stay in your

head and you're always in flow you

you've heard that term Flow State you

hear it for programmers computer

programmer it takes them a long time

maybe to get into the right mindset for

programming but once you're in it you do

not want to get out of it because as

soon as you get out you have that whole

wind up again to get back into it if you

even

can now that's even twice as important

for a person who writes or makes Comics

because I've got to be in exactly the

right frame of mind for hours like hours

every day I have to be in a certain

mindset or it just doesn't work now if

you all agree that the concept is

amazing you can stay in your Flow State

push one button have not just a good cup

of coffee but an exceptional cup of

coffee at the concept level who wouldn't

want that

it's all good right now let me tell you

what actually happens in the real world

in the real world it's such a you know a

marvelous invention that it's designed

to tell you when there's any kind of

flaw you know like a a fault or

something's not lined up just right it

also tells you when a part of it needs

to be cleaned you know different parts

at different times um it's got some

maintenance built in that runs

occasionally Etc and the net effect of

it is that nearly 100% of the time you

go to have your coffee it turns you into

a maintenance

worker sometimes the beans need to be

refilled sometimes the uh The Brew unit

needs to be washed sometimes something's

misaligned sometimes the head is out in

place sometimes the coffee uh the excess

coffee grounds is full and sometimes the

water

spillover uh thing is full sometimes

needs to be descaled sometimes it needs

to be cleaned and that's just a starter

set so what does this sound like to you

the concept is

amazing in concept one button stay in

Flow State boom delicious coffee yeah

nailed it in

reality I curse at my machine go

completely on a flow State and I'm

changing the beans like this morning I

think there were two faults this morning

two cups of coffee two two maintenance

things I had to do it's one for one you

know over time it's one for one every

now and then you'll get a coffee cup a

coffee without

problems now could that be fixed

probably because the only thing it would

take is for it to warn me in advance

when my coffee beans were starting to

get low so I could choose to do the

maintenance when I'm not in Flow State

so the problem is if you're ever in Flow

State you just can't use this

device you just can't you you you've got

to do something else because it'll take

you right out now does this sound like a

lot of government policy that at the

concept level who could argue with that

push one button get a delicious cup of

coffee stay in Flow State everybody

should be in favor of that but then in

the real

World it doesn't work anything like that

that ladies and gentlemen is my theme

for

today but let's start with some backward

science uh ABC news your source for

Reliable

science says that there's a research

that shows that yes it's true that men

do tend to have better navigational

skills in women but the new study

revealed the reason for it is not

anything genetic

like if you thought there was some like

natural gender sex difference well first

of all you're a pig and second of all

ABC News is here to tell you is not

based on any kind of natural difference

it's based on the fact that boys tend to

play outside more often they're they're

more encouraged to play

Outdoors so so they learn their

navigational skills by playing Outdoors

totally believable right everybody

every bit of that made sense to you I

mean common sensely that just makes

sense right because let me tell you

where I learned to navigate because I'm

one of those men with navigational

skills it was in my

backyard I remember my sister would stay

in and you know she'd play with dolls

but I'd go into the yard still within

full view of my house and I'd play

around out there well I was developing

navigational skills because every time I

left the house

within visual distance of the house I

could get back to

it and I'm not bragging I mean the other

boys could do it too but boy if you let

a girl out in the backyard and you say

it's time for dinner the boys are like

yay and they run back in the house

because they got this navigational

skills how in the world did that just

break all right I just had a complete

failure on the locals platform

so if you don't mind I'm going to call

them back up whoa it's making me log in

again oh wow this is dead as a door

now might not be able to get this back

but let's

see it's asking me to log back in which

I've never seen before in the middle of

a live stream so it looks like they had

a

hiccup all right almost done

see this is called getting out of Flow

State so I was in this beautiful I was

in this beautiful

flow really heading for something

here all right we're

back uh one click and we'll be back live

again hello locals did you miss me we

had we had a little catastrophic failure

there it made me log out log back back

in but we're all good all right so

here's the PARTA you

missed ABC news says that boys have

better navigational skills but it's

because they play outdoors more and it's

not even because they want to play

Outdoors it's because people encourage

boys to play

Outdoors so as I was saying you know my

brother and my sister and I would be

playing in the backyard and mom would

say it's time for dinner my brother and

I having these good negotiate you know

these good navigation skills we'd like

okay there's the house here's me I can

solve for this and I'd walk like toward

the house and I'd go inside that's

called good navigational skills but my

sister God bless her soul she'd be out

in the house and she'd be looking at it

and she'd be like I can see it but how

do I get to

it and honestly she's still there she

died in the yard so we'll miss her all

right sorry sis she's listening to this

right now

she's laughing you're laughing right

you're laughing

right no she did not get lost in the

yard because she has excellent

navigational skills and as a second part

of the story I have terrible navigation

skills I don't have any navigational

skills I have none I have good spatial

skills but I don't pay attention when I

go anywhere so I can never get

back here's what I think is happening uh

here's what I really think the science

is without any benefit of any

studies I believe that after let's say

300,000 years of uh humanoid

Evolution that boys are designed to go

hunt and control

territory the men are designed by

Evolution to hunt and to control

territory militarily if if we don't have

a military we'll do it with football if

we don't have football we will literally

whip out our penis and spray down your

lawn so we you know dominate it own it a

little bit we're basically owned for ter

we're built for

territory so when I go into a place I'm

thinking

territory you know when I play football

I'm trying to gain a yard right and if

I'm playing a game I'm trying to make my

impact be as large as possible if I'm a

battery the baseball game I don't want a

bunt I mean sometimes I have to but I

want to hit a home run th thus

increasing the physical range of my

impact so boys I think evolve to be all

about the physical space because if they

hunt they got to know where to go and

they got to know how to get back right

so I would think that nature is selected

for people who could get back home after

the hunt probably it's just that um or

it's because boys are encouraged to play

more

outside right that that's what counts as

science well there's a funny video

compilation Rand Paul had some fun

mocking Nikki Hy so he was retweeting a

uh a compilation of uh he says since

Nikki Hy is refusing to debate Ron de

santis before New Hampshire I present to

you Nicki Hy debating

herself now the first thing I thought

was oh it's going to be one of those AI

things

where somebody has an AI Nikki hilly

debating herself nope it was actually

video clips of her saying I will not do

X and Then followed by we should really

do X but I will not do y followed by you

know would be a really good idea a lot

of why so it's actually hilarious that

she doesn't seem to have any standards

or philosophical Mooring or anything

yeah she just sort of going with

whatever is going to get or

elected so that's hilarious if you want

to see that as in my X feed uh I guess

the courts a judge said that Trump can

be on the ballot in Washington state

which is a big deal because uh this I

guess it was the 14th

Amendment uh was trying to be used to

say he's a damn insurrectionist and so

he can't be on the ballot but the judge

said no now can somebody give me an

update so so far he's not been

denied the ballot of any state right in

in a confirmed final way there's there

may be some still challenges but so far

he's on every ballot

right okay yeah I think he's on every B

I think it's going to stay that

way yeah it there may be some temporary

hiccups but I feel like if it came to

the Supreme Court how is that going to

go any other way right the Supreme Court

is not going to keep him off the

ballot I don't I don't see how it could

all right well so we'll see so I see you

mentioning Maine but you know until it's

election day I think you can assume that

that will get corrected maybe

not all right um but anyway that's good

news so Tucker Carlson had a new video

he has a theory that basically goes like

this that what the Democrats are up to

according to Tucker the the evidence

would suggest that their strategy looks

like this uh they know Biden can't win

so that's not part of their strategy

their strategy would be more along the

lines of supporting Nikki Haley because

in some of these

primaries um Democrats can just vote for

the Republican candidate so I guess Reed

Hoffman famous Rich Democrat funer and

founder of LinkedIn uh which got sold to

Microsoft um he's one of the main

funders of not only Nikki

Haley um but the lawsuit against Trump

for that EG Carrol thing so the same

person who's funding Nikki haly's

campaign a Democrat is funding a

republican um that same Democrat is

funding the lawsuit against Trump in the

egene

Carol now that's not the only things

he's funding but it get you a little

sense of

him there are some who claim and I don't

know if this is true that he visited

Epstein

Island do you think is that true or is

that just another one of those rumors

because there are people on my list that

really did not go to Epstein Island so

I'm going to say I don't know that's

true I'm going to not state that to be

true I'm going to state that to be

something somebody claimed because if I

don't have a picture of him on the

island I'm not going to Bas it on

somebody's list on the internet so

whether or not that's true and I and I'm

going to say uh I'll assume innocence

until proven guilty remember that's

always the standard that that's an

accusation but he's not the government

right Reed Hoffman is a private citizen

so you should assume that he's innocent

of anything illegal unless somebody

really proves it in court anything short

of that he's innocent so I'm not going

to buy that he's on the list or that

he's ever been to the island or anything

like that however may I remind you that

we don't have the Epstein list or the

videos which means that somebody

does Whoever has the videos is who's

running the

country you know that right Whoever has

the Epstein stuff it was all designed to

Blackmail the most important people do

you think whoever had that power like

the power of Thanos you know at all the

Rings do you think they said you know

this is too dangerous we better put this

in a in a drawer

somewhere

no now Whoever has his blackmail

material still

controls whoever Epstein was trying to

control and the thing is that you just

have to hint that you have it and you've

got all the control you need hey you

know uh I would never I would never out

you as being on Epstein Island and

having illegal sex I I would never do

that but I do have the

videos I do have the videos they're in

my control but I would never I would

never show them to anybody by the way

you know it would be a great idea is if

you were to fund the Democratic party to

the tune of $20

million did a separate conversation no

no I'm not tying it to the fcen no no no

no I would never I would never show that

stuff in public I have it all and it

would it would take a lot for me to want

to like show it in public or leak it or

something but you know I just want you

to know I have it

all right you don't need to directly

blackmail anybody if they know you have

the goods or if they suspect

it so there might be more than one

blackmailer there might be a blackmailer

who has the stuff and there might be

another blackmailer who's even smarter

who is pretending to have it you know

who might potentially have actually had

it so I think we're a black mocracy and

any sense that we're a democracy is kind

of childish at this

point it feels naive to the point of

childish we're clearly a a black male

driven Place do do you know why the

border is not

closed there's no American reason there

is no American reason for the the border

to be the way it is there's none that's

clearly an outcome of corruption I don't

know the details it could be you know

China trying to destroy the fabric of

America could be the cartels make so

much money they bribed the Congress to

let them keep doing it or some

combination some combination but I'll

tell you what is not it's not a bunch of

Americans deciding what's good for

America and I'm starting to think that

the idea that the Democrats have a

clever plan of replacing you know the

the white Christian voters with uh brown

people from other countries that they

can get to vote

Democrat I have a contrarian

Theory because the Republican standard

Republican conservative theory is that

it's all a plot to increase the number

of democrat

voters I think they also want to do that

and that's that's why

uh which state is it that's going to let

them vote the illegal migrants can vote

without

ID like that's actually Oh California

right Arizona was it was actually

Arizona you're right Arizona recently

said that you could vote if you're

illegal you just

vote they just decide to ignore the

Constitution or something so here's what

I think I don't think that's the main

reason behind the open

borders there's something else driving

that and there's something thing to

destroy the country not to make

Democrats stronger but while it's

happening Democrats quite wisely I

assume say well if they're going to come

here anyway we might as well take

advantage of it and let them vote

because I think they'll vote for us so I

think that the whole replacement theory

is a head fake meaning that in practice

something like it is really happening

there there will be more voters of a

different type than are already here if

things go the way they are but I don't

think that's what's starting it I think

that's just people taking advantage of a

situation that was going to happen

anyway so whatever is behind it we don't

exactly know but you have to assume

corruption in Congress because at the

very least if somebody just disagrees

politically they would make an argument

for what they're doing nobody on the

Democrat side is making an argument for

it they're literally saying it's not

happen

happening all right explain

that nor a normal topic would be two

people with an argument that they

disagree this isn't

that no this is not two people with some

kind of philosophical disagreement this

is something that's coming from the

outside I don't know where my guest is

the cartels have bought

Congress but it could be something

else right yeah so uh not replace but

combin yeah so I think the replacement

parts the add-on I don't think that's

the underlying cause all right here's

some fake news that you probably

believed uh the fake new oh by the way

the other the alternative to Tucker

theory that

uh the Nikki hilly is like the the

secret Democrat and Republican clothing

that they're going to try to sneak in

there as a as like a a hidden

Democrat

that's plausible I'm not sure I

completely buy into that but it's

plausible the alternative theory is that

the Democrats know Biden is shot but

they also knew that having a president

of low

capability was working for the Deep

State or the people who wanted I don't

know military things to happen whatever

so they may say you know it would be the

best

thing is another low capability

president that we can control so so that

theory would say let's let's limp Biden

over the Finish Line we we'll just get

him there one way or the other and then

he immediately retires for health

reasons and kamla takes over and she's

easy to

control because she is an

idiot you know I'm very reluctant to say

somebody who's risen to the highest

levels of politics has any kind of

mental deficiency because you know this

seems deep

unlikely but the more you listen to her

the more you think no the base problem

is you're not smart or even a little bit

smart about you know important things

she might have a good memory you know so

she can get through law school and stuff

like that but she seems not smart that

seems to be the basic

problem all right imagine imagine that

it's today and you still believe that

January 6 was an

insurrection at what point does that

become embarrassing if ever to imagine

that trespassing was the way that a

bunch of scraggly people who who were

there for the purpose of protecting the

Republic against what they thought was a

fraudulent election that the the real

plan was to conquer the military of the

United States and take power by

trespassing or something so I would ask

you to just ask your Democrat friends

who still believe that hoax to

to connect the dots and simply

describe how those protesters were going

to get control of the nuclear

Triad like what what were the steps

after the trespassing

surrender you know what was the military

on the verge of surrendering to

them just connect the dots I'm I'm not

asking for I'm not even disagreeing with

you you just tell me what you're

thinking and then I'll tell you if I

agree or not but I haven't heard what

you're thinking just tell me your actual

opinion show me how you believed that

trespassing and taking selfies and

abusing elector were going to lead in a

cause and effect you know a leads to B

way to physical control of the

country do you know how you could have

defeated that

Insurrection you could put a fence

around it and wait till way for them to

starve they didn't have

weapons there's no Insurrection that

would ever be easier to thwart than the

people who didn't have food and they

locked themselves in a

building so to imagine that you still

thought there was something like an

Insurrection is embarrassing at this

point so I think you should treat it

that way when it comes up as just mock

it as the most ridiculous

belief Michael shellenberger has a whole

uh thread and post on this today that

people still think it was an

Insurrection is basically stupid

all right here's some fake

news um do you believe that Joe Biden

has inaccurately said in public a number

of times including recently that his

oldest son

bo uh died because of Iraq or in Iraq

because of the war how many think that

Joe Biden is so dumb he thinks that Bo

died in the Iraq War when the truth is

that he died of a brain tumor uh well

after the war for what well after he

left the

war all right so here's the truth of

that that's fake news so Biden said it

again but there was a community

note apparently what Biden believes

because he's spoken at greater length

about it he doesn't believe his son died

in Iraq he does not believe that he died

of military action and his never said

that he says he died because of Iraq

specifically he believed beles that bow

was too close to I think the burn the

burn bits or something something that

would have uh poisoned

him and that the uh exposure may have

been the reason for his brain tumor that

killed him well after he was out of the

military it was some kind of chemical

Cobalt I know I don't know what the

details are

now do you think Joe Biden knows that's

true do you do it or is it true I is it

have the medical professionals said yeah

we're pretty sure that's what caused it

it's hard to

prove but here's what is true if that's

true if it's true then see see if I have

this right didn't Joe Biden support the

Iraq

War didn't he and wasn't the Iraq War

optional so Joe Biden supported an

optional War which in his own telling

killed his own

son is that fair that he supported a war

that in his own opinion killed his

son now what about the Ukraine war do

you think that Hunter would be in the

trouble that he's in Legally if there

was not a President

Biden forging a war in Ukraine with

Russia I don't think I don't think

Hunter would be in trouble so Hunter is

likely to end up in jail or dead you

know if he does something because he

doesn't want to go to jail um because of

his father entering a second optional

War so you've got a

father who may have in his own belief

supported a war that killed his son an

optional War not a war of National

Defense an optional war and is

supporting another optional

war in a sense you know optional is you

have to stretch that definition a little

bit

but did he kill both of his sons is he

in the process of killing both of his

sons for Unnecessary

Wars Now kill or jail or you know

mentally disable or ruin his life in

some way now I'm not saying that you

know Hunter is innocent and should not

have the consequences of justice but I'm

right right has anybody connected these

dots

before that Joe Biden killed his both of

his sons with two optional

Wars I I haven't seen anybody say it but

to me that's the most mind-blowing part

of this whole story that he's so

lame that his own sons are dying because

of his optional

Wars do do you know what uh uh don Jr is

doing this

weekend well I don't know but he's

probably not defending himself against

uh money laundering in

Ukraine I don't know for sure do you do

you know what uh Baron Trump is doing

this

weekend I don't know but he's not dying

of a brain tumor because he went to an

optional war in Iraq that's not

happening right there's a big difference

between Trump and

Biden there's a really big difference it

it's so big that it's almost if it

weren't full of tragedy it would be

humorously big the difference between

their performances one got us into into

two Wars that killed his own family and

that didn't even slow him down he's

still in favor of

it and Trump is whatever is the opposite

of that all

right um MSNBC is Tiffany cross who I

guess is no longer with

MSNBC uh one of her biggest complaints

was that she she got a show on MSNBC

but that her bosses kept telling her she

wasn't spending enough time trashing

Trump and she kept saying versions of

okay I mean that's important story too

but what about all these other stories

and I'm paraphrasing of course but her

but her bosses said yeah yeah yeah but

you really got to bash Trump okay but

not all the time I mean I could do other

stories too and they were pretty much

no no no there really are no other

stories we really need you to pass Trump

so this is another one of those it was

exactly what it looked

like because when you watch them inbc

you said to yourself This doesn't look

like news this looks like a bunch of

people bashing Trump and that's all it

is there's like literally nothing else

and that's exactly what it was the

executives were trying to make the staff

do nothing

but

remember I tell you you have to know the

players I already talked about that Reed

Hoffman so I don't know what's true with

Reed Hoffman but the concept I should

have mentioned before is that if you

only hear the news you don't know

anything because the news doesn't tell

you how the players are connected with

the other players for example if the

only thing you knew was that Eugene

Carroll was suing Trump you say oh this

like a personal thing and you know maybe

there's something to it Etc but if you

knew that the lawsuit was being funded

by a Democrat who wants to get Trump you

say to yourself oh that's not

necessarily true then is it I mean I

don't know if it's true or not I don't

want to get ass sued for liel I'm just

saying that as soon as you put you know

ugly money behind it all the credibility

goes away so if you don't know there's

ugly money behind something you don't

really have the full picture do you

so there's that all right

um there's a viral video of what's being

called a angel mom whose daughter was uh

died from a fenel overdose so I guess I

would make me an angel stepdad because

my stepson died of a fentel overdose but

she was in Congress talking to Dan

Goldman who was doing his best to try to

get her to support his point of view

which is that the Democrats say they

want extra funding for border patrol and

Dan Goldman is trying to get her to

say but so you would agree you know I'm

paraphrasing you would

agree that if fenel coming across the

border is a problem and you of course it

is then adding more border patrol would

be one step toward increasing that

problem and do you know what the angel

mom said again

paraphrasing nope because I've been to

the border and you haven't if you talk

to the border patrol they'll tell you

they're making sandwiches for the

migrants if you add more people they

will make more

sandwiches if you make more sandwiches

you'll have more people coming because I

like

sandwiches if you add more people do you

know what that's like hey Dan Goldman

I've got a coffee maker for you in

concept all you have to do is push the

button and you get a delicious cup of

coffee so everything's good about that

right Dan Goldman no in the real world

they're making

sandwiches and this this Angel mom she

not only destroyed

him but she she knelt on his

neck it was a it was just a joy to watch

and the joy was not you know the subject

is so tragic it's it's almost

unimaginable literally unimaginable but

watching Dan Goldman not understanding

anything about how the real world works

and thinking he can just push the button

on that coffee maker and get a delicious

cup of coffee and then having his

reality Shattered by somebody who said

you've never been there have you you've

never been to the

Border beautiful just

beautiful

all

right how about

uh oh AI

education I was going to talk about this

at first but um so Tyler Cowan writing

in marginal Revolution says there might

be two ways of AI will change

education one is it might make better

videos like KH Academy and come up with

tests on its own and you know maybe it

does lesson plans and just does like

some kind of video teaching now that

would be good but as Tyler um Cowen

points out on marginal Revolution that

uh the other model might be better which

is having AI or robot as a

companion and then you just hang around

with your companion and it kind of

teaches you about life as it goes not

necessarily you know teaching you

spelling or something like that but sort

of giving you life advice that would

maybe put you in the right mindset to go

learn how to spell on your own you know

basically setting you up for success by

being effectively a smart parent

following you around all the time but

you would think it's just your buddy

yeah mentor and I agree with that

because specifically what I wanted was a

robot and I will have one I will have

this robot probably the first Tesla that

comes out and I wanted to follow follow

me around and I want to be able to turn

to it and say you know what I keep

hearing about this Sumerian

civilization was that like the first

civilization and what kind of technology

did they have in what what part of the

country or the world were they in and

and it just tells you and then you're

just walking down the street and

suddenly you know about the Sumerian

culture that literally is something I

did with AI the other day I always

wanted to learn about Sumeria but I was

never interested enough to like research

it in front of the computer but while I

was you know doing you know just doing

my morning routine I had my AI out so I

just told it to get me a lesson on

Sumeria so it did now I know so that's

the way I like to

learn uh Dr huberman's talking about a

new study that says that uh love can

reduce pain do you believe that that if

you're in love the region of the brain

that handles that Euphoria interferes

with the pain part of the yeah I mean it

feels like it now what is the thing that

causes you the most

pain love what's the thing that helps

reduce your

pain

love so it's not a perfect system is it

the the only thing that can reduce your

pain naturally is the thing that causes

most of it uh when it goes bad but uh my

my only addition to this

is that this is an example of brain

hacking now it's not one you can do

easily because you can't just say oh

I'll fall in love if I want to get rid

of my pain but as a hypnotist this is

the sort of brain hacking I've been

doing all my life and let me describe

what I mean by that brain hacking is uh

taking advantage this is my personal

definition taking advantage of The

Accidental connections that exist in

your brain that are never activated

because they're only accident acal

connections it doesn't it doesn't occur

to you to even activate them they're

just an accident of of geography you

know there's something in your brain

that's like physically next to or

connected to something else and you can

do everything from change your

preferences to change your mindset if

you can find those weird accidental

connections like love and pain now love

and pain like I said you couldn't you

couldn't work with that because you

can't optionally fall in love but

there's a whole bunch of stuff that you

can do that would hack your brain in

different ways to make yourself more

effective so it's a it's a larger thing

which once you learn how to do it it

really does change everything if you

don't realize you can change your own

brain not just by education but

fundamentally reprogramming what

connects to what so it's just a

different machine then you really lose

now because your brain is very very

programmable not not just learning not

just

learning but to become a different

machine like you can actually change the

structure of the machine through your

behavior well Trump is arguing that

President should have total immunity and

if you haven't heard this argument the

argument is that um no matter what the

president did the other team would say

it's illegal and then they would always

just be prosecuting the president and

there wouldn't be anything else now

let's do the real world versus the

concept

concept nobody's above the

law that even if the president breaks a

law like murdering

somebody right I mean the is more

important that the president is held to

the standard of law just like wouldn't

it be great to get a cup of coffee just

by pushing one button yeah let's just

hold everybody to the standard that

nobody's above the law then people will

not want to break the law and we're all

better off right yeah delicious

coffee but in the real world that place

where Trump resides that place that

connects Trump to every you know working

class person is that the real world has

no connection to your

Concept in the real world the day

somebody took office they would already

be under attacked by the other team to

try to put him in jail it's all they

would do now if you don't think that's

all they would do you haven't been

paying attention because they have the

power to impeach so what did the

Democrats do all day they tried

to impeach him all day and to

the point of not even doing the people's

work they were doing that while the the

pandemic was unfolding and they weren't

paying attention right so the real world

if you give somebody a hammer they start

hitting

that's it you give somebody a

hammer they're going to hear some

you think it's just going to be Nails

don't

you well maybe if you're lucky no but if

you have a hammer you're could to

probably hit more than a

nail all right so Trump is right about

that and then uh one of the I guess some

judge asked this dumb question

which is are you saying that if on the

last day of office the president ordered

SEAL Team Six to kill his political

opponent that that that should be

completely okay right so you're

saying

now I think we need to get better

judges can can I explain how the real

world

works let me explain how the real world

works the president gets SEAL Team Six

together and says I want you to kill my

opponent SEAL Team Six then tells their

bosses and that guy goes to jail

forever that's how the real world Works

SEAL Team Six isn't going to go

kill your political opponent in the real

world now suppose they did suppose

suppose that actually happened and then

suppose we knew all right if nobody

knows that's a whole different story but

suppose we knew and he said yeah I did

it I got immunity too bad Neer

ner do you think that that President

could then just go out in the world

having murdered somebody in front of all

of us and just live their

life no somebody would kill

them somebody would try and their family

could never go out in public again you

know their entire life would be

basically never leaving the

house and yeah no nobody's going to kill

their opponent on the last day of the

presidency because nobody thinks that

works it's ridiculous right so in the

real world Trump is 100% right you can't

have presidents you know being charged

with crimes for what they do in office

you just can't he's he's 100% right and

their counter examples are just stupid

Peter Navaro it looks like he's going to

jail uh

or where he might the Department of

Justice is seeking six months in prison

because he defied subpoena over the

January 6th thing his claim was that he

was covered under executive privilege uh

and Immunity but that claim is you know

sketchy according to the

courts uh but let's add Peter Navaro to

the pardon list because we see more and

more examples of Republicans being

hunted and we don't believe that this

would have happened into a Democrat

necessarily um and this is my most

motivating

topic so we got a lot of critical things

that have to happen from the border to

everything else so there's lots and lots

of considerations when you're looking

for a new president but my number one

consideration is the weaponization of

the Department of Justice and the

pardons I'll take that over

everything I'll take that over

everything just give me that one thing

and uh and that's why I could easily

support of aake or a trump or a disantis

because I think they'll all end up in

the same place on the pards I think I

hope

um but uh

yeah the weaponized justice system

against Republicans has to be the first

thing we fix it has to be you got to fix

that because that's

that's like having something shoved down

your throat and then somebody's inviting

you to dinner and asking you why you're

not eating well maybe it's because you

shoved a broomstick down my entire

throat like get that out first and then

we could talk about the other stuff so

yeah you better you better get those

guys out of prison right away all right

um and by the way that every second

between now and the time a republican

frees those people

which I hope is what's going to happen

is a

disgrace it's a disgrace and to the

country I was going to say embarrassment

but I don't get embarrassed the country

should be embarrassed like I I don't

think you can show your head in public

when you're like this I I think that we

have nothing to say to other countries I

think we should just shut the up

about they're abusing civil rights or

whatever we think they they're doing

yeah yeah now if we're putting our own

citizens in jail for political reasons I

know I know there's crimes involved too

but we all agree pretty sure in the real

world these crimes would have been

ignored you know as just

protests

so uh let's talk about something else so

you know the Congress was trying to

figure out a deal that uh if uh if

Democrats would agree on something on

the border maybe rep Republicans would

agree on something on the budget so

they're trying to reach a some kind of

deal that was both border security and

budget do you know why that can't

work there's there's a reason it can't

work by design it can't work here's what

can work you can negotiate when the two

of you don't want exactly the same

things or things that are you know

opposite uh logically if I've got a

product and you want it

and I don't need the product because you

know I can make all of them I want but I

want your money then we can make a deal

because what you and I want are

different things you want my product I

want your money boom we got a deal we

just have to figure out the amount but

if you want the same things such as I

think I would like uh the Jewish state

to exist well what do you think I think

I would like it to completely

disappear that's not something you can

negotiate there's no middle ground

between existing and not existing not

really um likewise there is no logical

way you can make a deal on budget and

Border because both sides need both

things right the Republicans need the

border to be fixed but the Democrats

need just as hard for it not to be fixed

there's no way to make a deal

they want the same limited resource that

can only be one way or the other and

there and there's nothing in

between um same with the

budget the Republicans want what they

want on the budget the Democrats want

what they want on the budget and it's

not the same so you can't have the

budget being what the Democrats want

without it being not what the

Republicans want so you you see the

point yet I hope I'm being clear you

can't negotiate

by saying that these two things are your

two negotiating variables because

there's nothing to work with so the

reason it's not solved is that it's

unsolvable it can't be solved under that

setup now who do you think would know

that that can't

work

Trump because Trump knows how to make a

deal he literally knows what the real

world looks like and how to make a real

business deal and he would know as 100%

of all dealmakers know you can't make a

deal if there's absolutes involved that

can't be violated and the Democrats are

never going to be happy with a closed

border the Republicans will never be

happy with an open one there's not

really something in between that

anybody's even serious about you know

such as you know better vetting

something like that there's there's

nothing practical even being talked

about so no not only will Congress fail

they have to it's a designed failure

you're going to have to either add

another topic so there's something to

really negotiate on or get rid of one of

the topics so you're just talking about

the budget and then then within just the

budget maybe you could trade this for

that but if you add the complication of

immigration to budget how in the world

are they going to make a deal on that

right just

commonsensically how do you reach a deal

when you have two things that neither

can NE negotiate on

so to imagine that the public has been

so Bamboozled to think oh we're almost

there look at us doing this work we've

decided that this is our structure of

our deal now we just have to work out

the details that can't happen that can't

happen they've designed a failed a

failed system from the start there's

only one way it goes

no that's it so I'm going to predict

that

eventually the Border has to be

separated from the budget deal or

they're going to have to do something

different than whatever this is they're

they're not going to make any progress

on

this and uh Trump has already said you

know more to my point that the only deal

that the Congress should accept and of

course Congress the Republicans are

already listening to him because Trump

is the presumptive next president they

would think um and he's saying the only

deal that they should accept is a

perfect border deal on top of a perfect

budget deal in other words Trump is

saying the same thing I'm doing

different language but he's saying these

are not things that you trade one for

the

other but he he just says it in a better

way really no I want both of them

perfect because that's what the country

needs they need a budget that works they

need a border that works don't tell me

you're going to give me a bad

border so I can get a better

budget that's a sucker play you walk

away from that deal you walk away from

the roof

if that's the only structure they're

dealing with so Trump is right he's

saying either either we shove this

completely down your throat or we need

to negotiate with a whole different

process you know but but no we're not

going to take half of this to get half

of the other thing I agree with

them uh which means that they can't get

anywhere all right here's a thought

experiment for

you um try this with your your Dem grab

friends goes like this I I posted this

so if you want to send it to him in my

words you can it's on my ex um feed so

thought experiment all right imagine one

American state that implements nothing

but mainstream Republican policies and

they don't even have to argue about it

right there's nobody on the other side

they just go full Republican in every

way from the school system to taxes to

law enforcement everything then there's

another state it goes the other way and

it's full Democrat policies right they

got everything from reparations to uh

Sanctuary City and high taxes for the

you know the rich people just the whole

boat then you wait 25 years and now ask

your Democrat friend to describe both

States 25 years from

now what do you think will

happen well yeah in the real world I'll

tell you what would happen then I'll

tell you what happens if you ask

somebody about it all right so I've got

a hypothesis that Republicans can

predict the future with Eerie Precision

on this test so if you said all right

how do those two states work out the

Republicans say well the Republican

state has well educated people who are

doing well and the families and you know

everything looks

good and then they would you would say

to the Republicans well how think the

Democrat State went they say oh 25 years

of that probably has decayed into

something like you know those areas in

Seattle that were run by the street

people what was that called yeah it's

probably a complete failed State Chaz

the

Chaz Chaz is actually a perfect example

of what the entire state would be if

they used the same policies as within

Chaz which apparently Democrats were

happy enough with Chaz ja and chop yeah

it's funny those those those things that

young people will never hear they'll

never hear about Chaz and

chop all right so here's what I

think under that condition the migrants

would flood only the Democrat state so

all the migrants that would have

ordinarily hypothetically gone to both

States would go only to the one

state um in unlimited numbers and all

the rich people in the Democrat state

would eventually move to the other state

for lower tax

because if it's just Democrats they're

going to take like a 90% tax on the

richest people you know that right so

nobody's going to stay there and pay a

90% tax if they're mobile and all rich

people are mobile so they would just

immediately pull up stakes and move to

another state so you lose all your rich

people so you lose your tax

base uh then the poor people would move

to your state because you got better

benefits so you'd have poor people

moving from the Republican state to the

Democrat state to get benefits You' have

the rich people moving from the Democrat

state to the Republican state now wait

25 years and game that

out it only goes one way there's only

one possible outcome to that a complete

failed state in one case and a marvelous

Happy State in the other now you could

argue oh they're not so happy because

abortion is illegal in the Republican

state and you'd have some you know at

least that's a debate that um I would

respect the debate no matter which way

it goes but in general you would have a

failed State and you would have one

successful

one so here's what I would like to add

we we're in this weird imaginary world

where we imagine that Republicans and

Democrats differ on policy preferences

that's what you think right because

every conversation about politics is uh

I like this policy you like that policy

I don't think anything like that's

happening my filter says that the people

who can do

math and can imagine the future in other

words they can imagine what's happening

today and then projected in their mind

into the future that they're all on the

same side and the people who don't have

the ability to imagine how current

situations would unfold in the future

either because they're mentally Limited

in some cases but more often because

they just don't have that training or

exposure to that kind of stuff have you

noticed that Democrats skew young and

Republicans skew

old people under 25 literally don't have

developed brains and people under

30 literally don't have as much

experience as everybody who's

31 everybody who's 31 has more

experience than everybody who 30 and so

by time you reach your 50s and 60s it

really makes a difference so this is the

difference of the coffee maker one

button versus the taking you in a flow

state if you're young that coffee maker

sounds like the best freaking idea

seriously one button I love that but if

you're my age and as soon as you saw how

many features this thing had you said to

yourself oh I know how this is

going to go I still like it I still

recommend it by the way it's a good

machine

um well the the M makes way better

coffee than a Mr Coffee and Mr Coffee is

a fine device as well but there's no

there's no comparison of the taste yeah

because the coffee machine has this

Crema like this airfill thing that's

like a replacement for cream and sugar

it's

amazing so anyway um so young people I

think listen to Democrat ideas and they

say I like that idea because I like

pushing my coffee maker one button and

having everything I want older people

say that coffee maker has got more more

features than you need you're just going

to be fixing that and that's the

difference so the difference is purely

on being able to project what's

happening today into the future and

being good at

math that's

it there there's no such thing as

democrat or republican there's just

people who are better at math

and can imagine the future better they

science did an experiment once in which

they took people who were having trouble

saving for the future and they made a

like an AI CGI was CGI in those days an

image of the person uh older so you

could see yourself looking older and

then people would save more because they

were saving themselves they saw a

picture of themselves as an old person

they wanted to protect that person

because it's them

so they basically helped people who

couldn't imagine the future on their own

now my career has had some success but I

also imagined it perfectly from the age

of six every part of my entire life I

imagined pretty much exactly the way it

unfolded which is not an accident you

know because I caused it to go in the

direction that I wanted it to

unfold so here's my hypothesis if you

gave this uh thought experiment to a

Democrat and a republican the

Republicans would laugh and say that's

an easy one the Republican states doing

great the Democrat state becomes a

socialist hellhole and would be right

you say this to a Democrat what do you

think they would say would they say you

know the Democrat one's going to be like

a Utopia and the Republican one is going

to have no abortion no rights everybody

has to you know be like

uh I don't know some religious fanatic

or something would they say

that I have a hypothesis that they would

change the

topic so go like this Here's my thought

experiment you know one state does this

one state does the other what happens in

25 years describe it oh you're one of

those Trump supporters okay I might be

or it might not be but that has nothing

to do with the topic what do you think

these two states would

do don't try this with me you Trump

supporter uh

you know that's how it would go so my

hypothesis is that you would you would

soon learn that Democrats can't game

forward the current system to know what

it turns into what do you think and that

we just imagine it's a philosophical

differences not at all it's just math

and ability to imagine the

future uh Constantine uh kissen said

this he said that on acent she said the

people who are the strongest advocates

for Western Civilization are people like

me who have experienced the

alternative which is similar to what I'm

saying so Constantine says he has this

thing called experience and he knows

that this set of activities leads to

something he's lived through and it's

hell now he's a a youngish guy so in

this case he had a real life experience

which caught him you know put him up to

speed pretty quickly yeah he's 38 that's

a young guy I mean by my

standards so yes the people who

understand cause and effect and math and

what leads to what are kind of all on

the same

side speaking of Jamie Diamond how funny

is it that a Democrat and you could

argue that Jamie Diamond he's the CEO of

JP Morgan You could argue he's the most

important Finance Banker money guy in

the

country is that fair you can say Warren

Buffett but that's more of a portfolio

situation I think Jamie Diamond would be

the number one Banker business guy in

the country by reputation as well as

job how funny is it that he made

national headlines and trended for days

simply for saying something that was

observable and

normal

it was national news that a prominent

Democrat said something normal and

observable we can all see it and what he

said was um it's not going to turn out

well if you demonize

magga how do you not know that like like

why did Jamie Diamond have to say in

public that you really need to knock off

the demonizing part of your own

public why because Jamie Diamond

does not have

TDS and he's a certain age where he

knows how things

work he knows how things work so he's

trying to educate his younger Dumber

Democrats and he told them directly look

you got to cut out this

Mega are all bad stuff that that will

only lead to bad correct and he said you

got to grow up and and understand that

Trump has a lot of supporters strictly

because he got the big stuff

right he said Jamie Diamond says he got

taxes right uh China right immigration

right something

else but just hold in your head the

amazingness of the fact that it was

national news not that Jamie Diamond

said something

smart because it's kind of obvious I

mean to all of us it's obvious that

Trump did a bunch of things that Biden

is not getting right

obvious and it's obvious that you know

demonizing one part of the public can't

possibly lead to anything

good so when you look at Jamie Diamond

he does not look like he's

brainwashed you look at his eyes you

look at his face you listen to the

things he says and he sounds like

somebody who is just telling you what's

right in front of

you right in front of you we all see it

and he and being a Democrat who can

simply describe what we all see

was national

news that's how bad it is the the TDs is

so bad that when somebody can you know

cut through it as JB Diamond

did is

news I guess I'm just blown away by the

fact that it's news that should have

been a nothing it should have been a guy

was

talking right because we should have all

been on that page it should have been a

guy talking and nobody cared because it

would be like well you already thought

the

obvious all right here's another one uh

Federman made

news by saying that he believes China

should own zero Farmland in the United

States again a prominent Democrat made

news by saying something that's obvious

and

observable and how could you disagree

with it because and he also said he

agrees with disantis

you know which I guess made it a little

more of a news thing

so Federman makes news not because he's

disagreeing with Democrats but because

the thing he's talking about is both

obvious and observable what possible

benefit does the United States get from

China owning our

Farmland they could literally turn off

our food if they had enough imagine that

they just tell their Farmers to you know

leave leave the crops in the field if

they owned enough

Farmland we'd be begging for food so no

it's a terrible

idea betterman's

right uh Sean Strickland he's a UFC

fighter and he's making a lot of uh

noise and he you know I already told you

about him you doing some

anti-woke stuff that made a lot of news

but he did it again so he had another

event and he just went nuts on the crowd

who was just cheering like crazy and he

he doesn't like Nike he calls it the

Chinese check

mark because of the swoosh the Chinese

check mark so he sees all of his

competitors who were in the Chinese

check mark and he's mocking them for

literally being marked by China and and

I think okay you know my my first

impression of them was not you know

here's our next leader and the smartest

guy in the room that was honestly that

wasn't my first impression and then he

keeps

talking and he wins me over totally won

me over like you know I'm not going to

say I agree with everything he says you

he says some pretty rough stuff but he

won me over he's like a real citizen who

wants the citizens of the United States

to be respected and do well and he

doesn't care who he punches to make it

happen um and he somebody a fan actually

stor Med the uh he he was on a stage at

a table with a bunch of other people

imagine in today's world somebody from

the audience storms the table while he's

speaking out in a very provocative

way the guy ran up there to shake his

hand in the middle of his

speech have you ever seen

that and here's the best part you seen

an adult man coming at you hard after

you said provocative things

what do you feel well you should feel

fear if I'm giving a speech and I see a

man stand up and run toward me and run

up on stage and lean across the table

I'm going into full defensive mode but

I'm not a champion UFC fighter do you

know what the champion UFC fighter did

stood up kept talking shook his

hand it was

beautiful it was beautiful yeah you have

to see

it all right um and

then you all know that uh president mle

M I never say it right of Argentina you

know he went to the WF in Davos and

basically told them their collectivism

ideas are going to make everybody poor

and they're all Elite idiots I

made up that last part but he implied

that now we of course all cheered and

saidwell isn't that unique uh that thing

that happened one time

ever well it turns out it wasn't one

time ever so the WF got another little

wakeup call from a gentleman named Uh

Kevin

Roberts who's from um some I think he's

some Republican think that kind of guy

but he got a audience in other words he

was on stage and uh he's a Heritage guy

Heritage Foundation guy

thank you so Heritage Foundation guy you

know conservative leaning uh

Enterprise he he's there and here's I'll

give them credit so at the wef they let

him talk and they did not interrupt him

and it wasn't because he was giving a

speech he was just in a panel and to

have a panel discussion um and the

things he

said and the fact he wasn't interrupted

was kind of impressive so I'm going to

give the WF a tentative p on the back

for letting both Mele speak they knew

what he was going to say right the WF

wasn't that surprised and they may have

known what this gentleman was going to

say because you know the Heritage

Foundation so I'm going to give the WF

some

credit they they allowed the very

competing opinions and they gave it some

attention now that doesn't clear them of

you know every allegation against them

or make them the best thing that ever

happened but you can't ignore that right

it's so rare that somebody will give a

full hearing to the other side that it

makes

news that that's why V ramaswami was so

impressive there were a lot of viral

videos of him literally doing the same

thing here's the microphone you've got

this much time tell me what you think

and then I'll tell you what I think so

the first all compliments to the WF for

inviting uh the alter alternative

opinions but let me just say what he

said and I'm cribbing this from a post

by MJ truth Ultra he paraphrase

something bit it's longer than this but

he says among other things it's

laughable that you or anyone would

describe Davos as protecting liberal

democracy it is equally laughable to use

the word dictatorship at Davos and aim

that at president Trump president Trump

if he's the next president is going to

take on the power of the elite

so his take was that the people in that

room were the elites and that they are

the problem and he goes I want to drive

home with all due respect you're part of

the problem talking to the people who

are in the room with

them political Elites tell the average

person that the reality is x when in

fact reality is y and then he gives

examples oh he was good yeah I'm

paraphrasing so you're missing the like

the Beauty and the power of what he said

he is really good at talking you know

he's he is vake

quality communication skills and that's

you know highest compliment so you gotta

you do yourself a favor and listen to it

in his own words because I'm not doing

it justice uh he T he gives some

examples where they say one thing and

it's opposite of facts he says open

borders the elites tell you tell us open

borders and illegal immigration are okay

American Americans don't think that's

okay okay now I love the way he says it

he could have said it's not okay but

that's just a debatable point instead he

says the Americans don't think that's

okay by majority that's

true um on Public Safety he says the

elites tell us Public Safety isn't a

problem in American cities Americans say

that's not

true perfect climate change at least say

we have this existential crisis that's

looming Americans know those Solutions

are more harmful than the

problem China he says there are number

they are number one aary in the US and

all free people on Earth uh and all free

people on Earth Elites don't acknowledge

that they give them a

platform the wh is discussing foisting

gender ideology upon the globe and

Global Elites embrace it Trump will

understand the basic biological reality

of manhood and Womanhood

and then he says Donald Donald Trump

will be in power not to guide

sheep oh wait did he say that or did uh

no he didn't say that that was a comment

on his post U somebody said

this uh I wish I knew if it was him so

maybe you can give me a fact CH oh he

said it I'm getting a confirmation he

said it so let me read the quote uh

Donald Trump will be in power not to

guide sheep but to awaken

lions

that might be the best thing I've ever

heard in my

life oh M said it did M say that so we

have some question about who's the

author of it but it's very

repeatable yeah more people are saying M

said it

than uh than this gentleman but uh let

let us uh let us summarize Jamie Diamond

speaking out in favor of reason

over

TDS two very very capable people went to

the WF and told them they are the

problem never seen that

before

um this UFC fighter

Strickland he's basically just putting

it out there so and and of course Elon

Musk you know is our maybe the champion

of free speech making all of this

possible

so there is a dad energy that is

unmistakable do you all see it

yet do you see the dad energy now when I

say Dad I don't mean male I mean there's

a certain energy to the the the strong

parent so I'm going to throw into dad

energy the so-called uh Angel mom who

who just wiped the floor with Dan

Goldman that angel

mom if you if you watch that video and

you watch her

talk you don't want to with

her she she may be uh and she is an

attractive woman but boy does she have

Dad

energy that's dad energy she didn't come

there to take prisoners she came there

for

war and let me tell you her navigational

skills are probably good right I'll bet

her navigational skills are good I don't

think she was just playing with dolls

indoors when the boys were outside so

she's got some stuff right she has she

has some real

character um but I think this is now a

trend that will be hard to reverse and

uh I'm going to give you a little pallet

cleanser here you're probably aware that

Mark cubin is pro Dei and has been

saying things some things on the

xplatform in favor of it um not every

body agrees but here's why and I've been

part of that conversation with him and

so his view if I can paraphrase it

correctly is that a company will do

better by pursuing Dei type of goals

because uh diversity is an

advantage and you can get a equally good

employee but then you get the the double

advantage that

diversity you know gives you better

let's say

let's say a better understanding of the

market um just really in a variety of

ways I would agree diversity gives you

benefits now the question is not that

diversity gives you benefits that's

never really been the key question the

question whe is whether there are other

expenses to it now this is this is again

the coffee machine problem if I said hey

I got a concept we're going to increase

diversity but we're not going to give up

anything in terms of the quality the

employees what do you think are you are

you down with that because that's that's

the world that Mark cubin thinks he

lives in the world where you can

increase

diversity and you're not only not

spending anything to do it you're G just

gaining you know it's it's a pure gain

you get the same quality employee and

you get the diversity too and that's

good on a variety of uh

planes now do you recognize that yet

that's the coffee machine with one

button do you know what I'd love to do I

would love to increase

diversity without any impact on anything

else and everybody else is just does

just as well but that's not really the

real world is it it's not even close do

you remember when Bernie Sanders had to

be schooled by Bill Maher that what he

thought was Equity that the Democrats

are pushing was nothing like what Bernie

Sanders thought it

was because in the real world you don't

get to push one button on the coffee

machine and it works every time in the

real

world Equity turns into Equity of

outcomes which is first of all

impossible and second of all destroys

every civilization

guaranteed Bernie Sanders didn't even

know that it's one of the main platforms

of the Democrat Party of which he is one

of the main characters and didn't know

let me tell you why I didn't know Bernie

Sanders has never been a middle class

white guy applying for a

job

right Bernie Sanders has never been a

middle class white guy applying for a

job if you've not been one of those

you're blind do you know what Mark Cuban

has never been a middle class white guy

applying for a job now is Bernie Sanders

a a an idiot I don't think so if you

measured his IQ I'm sure it' be fine I'm

sure it' be fine he just is is blind to

a part of reality that other people live

every

day is Mark Cuban uh dumb because he

disagrees with me nope every indication

is he's super smart but is Mark Cuban

ever been a middle class white guy

trying to get a job in a big company

including his

has he ever been a white middle class

white guy trying to get a job at Mark

Cuban's

company um now I will agree with Mark

Cuban on the following concept there

definitely can be companies that

increase diversity and get even better

people than they might have gotten

because they're maybe trying harder to

you know look for the hidden

gems and maybe his company is exactly

one of those as possible so my theory is

not that there can't can't be a company

that does better in every way of course

they could because there's a variety of

everything all the time and maybe his

company is one and that would be a

laudable accomplishment I mean if we

talk to his uh white middle class

employees at Cuban companies which I'd

love to do by the way I'd love to see if

they say the same thing you know I

didn't think you could get this

diversity and also get all the right

employees and no racial division or

anything but he did it like he he pulled

it off in our company so you know maybe

other companies could try it too but

here's the problem it's a math

problem and if if the school systems are

not creating the um the supply of let's

say just to use one example uh black

female stem

Majors then if you're a company who's

trying to increased diversity in that

area once all the good ones are scooped

up by the you know the Apple in the ibms

what are you going to do are you going

to not do

diversity because it's just hard or are

you going to do diversity let me tell

you a management rule that I know Mark

cubin knows so there there's something

mysterious about his support of

this

um all right well I just lost my trade

of thought the

uh if if you're hiring from a li mited

pool it's just math there just there's

not enough people there so even if Mark

cubin made it work that would suggest

that the companies in the physical

environment of Mark Cuban's businesses

have a smaller pool to pick good

employees from it has nothing to do with

anybody's genes it's not a racial

discussion at all it's purely numbers if

they're just more of

something you know it's easier to find

them that's it so in the real world you

end up with a situation like uh I think

it was a muse said that he tried to get

a job and they told him over the phone

uh no we're not hiring white

people we're we're not hiring straight

white people like

directly now do you think Mark cubin is

aware I think I said you might I might

have sent him

that but do you think he's aware that

that's the normal

situation or because I think he would

think it would be un

unusual um

now he did make one good point one good

point is that people don't really know

who's the best employee most of the time

most of the time people look kind of

similar you know if you pick the top 10

applicants they're kind of look about

the same so you don't really know if the

black or the white one's going to do

better so in that case you might as well

increase your diversity because you

don't know that you're getting a better

or worse employee it's unknowable so you

might as well get the the certain

benefit of the diversity that's not a

terrible argument

but it's only a conceptual one in the

real world there just aren't enough

people you can't get fast to math they

just don't exist in proper numbers so

the the solution of course is to put all

of your your work oh my God not again it

happened

again did I tell all of you that I was

having this problem of seeing the word

Mayo all the time it's a reticular

activation thing like I saw three people

whose last name were Mayo in the Mayo

Clinic and somebody just sent a comment

about mayorcas May orcus starts with

mayo which I never noticed until this

very

moment I got I got a message from

somebody who was watching the show when

I mentioned mayo and I challenged people

that they will see the word mayo and

she's I guess she saw it three or four

times that that day it was Mayo

everywhere did everybody else have that

experience after I said you're going to

see Mayo a lot did everybody see it a

lot the next

day no maybe all right some of you

did

anyway um oh I was going to say you get

what you measure so this is the part

that I think uh Mark

cubin um is forgetting because obviously

he knows it that if you're an employee

at a big company and and they say there

are two things I want you to accomplish

number one is improve your diversity and

your pay will depend on it but number

two is you also have to perform well

according to all your basic standards of

performance which one are you going to

do which one are you going to put all of

your energy into well if it's me I'm

going to put all of my energy into

diversity do you know why because it's

measurable at the end of the year

they're going to look at your employ

emplo and it's either more diverse or

it's

not and you can know for sure if you

succeeded or failed of that so people

will put all of their energy into in

what can be measured because the other

part how did you do on your projects you

know what you can do with that well okay

my projects didn't work out well but

it's definitely not because of anybody I

hired who wasn't qualified is because

you didn't give me enough budget there

was a a problem with the supply chain

the vendor lied to me and there was a

sort of a macroeconomic problem and then

there was the you know the Red Sea there

was the the hooes blew up the ship that

increased our right so if you're a

midlevel manager talking to your boss

and the boss says two things I want to

check with your performance on your

projects and your diversity you're going

to nail the

diversity because you can just go down

lower and lower in the quality of

employees because of the math not

because of genetics not because of

anybody's race just math and

Supply uh you're going to lower the

quality of your probable

output to get the most measurable goal

which is the diversity so in the real

world uh you don't get what Mark Cuban

would like to get which is people saying

yes I want diversity but in no way am I

going to pick the Lesser

employee that's a concept that's one

button on the coffee maker and their the

real world you'll pick the less employee

the less qualified

employee every

time unless you're the lucky company

that you know got to the the small

supply of qualified people that you're

trying to to

add all right

um uh and Elon Musk um summarized the

entire conversation with two

words and the two words are Cuban

so I guess I could have shortcutted that

but I I don't think the problem is IQ

obviously it's not IQ I think whatever

Mark cubin is chasing is some

combination of uh what he would like the

public to see of him which is perfectly

reasonable for a public figure um and

also probably a blind

spot but maybe we can help it with

that all right um Jonathan turle

tells us

that here's another one of those concept

versus

practice uh so Penn State there was a uh

Professor who was suing because he got

put into a de Pro Dei program and he was

a white guy and here are some of the

things that we learned this is from to

Le's reporting um so the judge judge uh

bstone wrote this in the opinion

training on Concepts such as white

privilege white fragility implicit bias

or critical race Theory can contribute

positive can contribute positively to

nuanced important conversations about

how to form a healthy and inclusive work

environment so that's what I said yeah

diversity and understanding the whole

area can can help it can have some

upside but oh there's a butt there's a

butt uh but the way these conversations

are carried out in the workplace matters

oh so in reality the concept doesn't

work out so well how did how did it work

out in

reality let let's check reality

according to this

case um but the way these conversations

carried out in the workplace matters

when employers talk about race any race

with a constant drum beat of

essentialist deterministic and negative

language they risk liability under

federal law in other words discriminate

against white people is what she's

trying to say or he's trying to say

whoever this is uh I don't know the

gender of the judge anyway uh oh is her

her uh in her denial of the Penn State

motion so they were trying to dismiss

the case I

guess

um they mentioned how the Dei director

emailed all employees quote calling on

white people to quote feel terrible

about quote their own own internalized

white supremacy and to quote hold other

white people accountable she also noted

that the assistant Vice Provost of

educational

Equity uh led the

faculty in an exercise to hold their

breath and then they told the white

people to hold their breath longer so

that they could feel the

pain they were literally torturing white

men and humiliating them in front of

other people as part of their Dei effort

they were literally humiliating and

making physically uncomfortable the

white guy so he sued

him now what did the judge say I'm going

to summarize the judge yeah it' be a

great idea to get a coffee maker that

you can just push one button and get a

great cup of coffee but in the real

world let me tell you what's

going to happen and what did happen

in the real world it just went to

all right and that ladies and

gentlemen is

my way too

long program of the

day way too long so I'm going to say

goodbye on the uh Rumble and YouTube and

x uh glad you joined uh by the way my

Rumble traffic exceeds my YouTube

traffic

been doing YouTube every day for what

seven years or something I just started

Rumble and Rumble traffic most days is

way bigger than YouTube huh I wonder I

wonder what could be behind that

is in summary ladies and

gentlemen sometimes it's exactly what

you think it is
