Episode 2368 CWSA 01/29/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization we' like to call this coffee with Scott Adams because that's what it is and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that human beings can't even understand because it's so high well then all you have to do is grab yourself a copper margara glass a tankered cheler Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip Today's show is going to be amazing by the way go ah so good um what is today's date everybody's telling me I put the wrong date in my comic today but I think I got it write on the second try people don't believe me when I I I say I have a uh oh Monday the 29th yeah I got the wrong date on the calendar again did I no I thought I got it right all right anyway we got a show to do um does anybody have this situation now that's already starting with me I'll be doing something that I always have to do such as posting my comic in the morning by the way if you didn't know dilber never stopped it's just behind the locals pay wall and also on X you could subscribe to it there it's there every day it's very naughty today's especially Naughty by the way if you didn't get today's Dilbert and it didn't make sense think naughtier if you if you put your mind in a really naughty space the will make sense that's your tip for the day all right um if you think the future involves AI doing everything for you I feel like there's going to be a separation the dumb people in society are going to do whatever the AI tells them because the AI is smarter than them so I believe there will be a point where the AI actually tells their owner how to vote like actually literally I think there will be a point where people below a certain level of I'm going to say intelligence or at least below a certain level of paying attention to the world they're going to wait till election day and they're going to ask their robot who they should vote for and the robot will say you know well knowing you and all the things that you want to accomplish in life and knowing the candidates I think you should vote for this one and then the people below that level of intelligence or just paying attention are just going to go with the robots but there's going to be a separation there will be another group of people and I hope I'm in it but I don't know for sure in which we will be working with the AI and the robots in some kind of a collaborative situation so for example um I've wanted to upgrade the quality of my videos specifically making clips and I wanted to you know add captions and stuff like that and so I did some research and I said what AI will do all these things I want to do to fix up my videos you know to get rid of imperfections and improve the sound and add some captions and you know find the the good parts and add some timestamps there's a whole bunch of stuff you want to do turns out there is no such thing as one app that does all those things so you end up doing something like research so for example if I want to add uh time stamps to my video I'm making right now I I can only do it with uh You.

Tube because it knows to find the transcript and then there's an app called instant chapters but it only works after You.

Tube generates the transcript which doesn't happen for several hours but it could be delayed it could be you know many more hours so you have this situation where AI can't close the gap between what you want to do and what it can do so you still need a human being to figure out it's going to take I think in my case maybe six different AI apps to just make a clip now it it would work really well because the the apps are uh are excellent but uh take a look at the app created by descript um so that so it's going around today it's kind of viral so my clip that got taken out of my larger show the other day in which I um yes I already did this simultaneous zp can you shut up about it if you missed the Sip it's just because you're late okay yeah you you could all stop talking about it all right um anyway so there's an app called descript that added the captions take a look at it on my video clip in which I'm um saying that V is the obvious choice for vice president for Trump and you'll like the you might like the video itself it's looks like it's going going slightly viral people seem to like it a lot but look at the technology just look at how the captions are added and you can see that you know nobody's going to do it without AI in the future all right here's the least surprising thing in the world can you believe it that Taylor Swift's boyfriend's team uh is going to get to the Super Bowl huh nobody saw that coming Taylor Swift the the person that everybody thinks might be part of some giant Democrat influence campaign because she's so popular and now she likes the Chiefs and she's very very Democrat at the moment um how many of you think the the that that game was fixed meaning that there was something going on that's bigger than football that needs Taylor Swift to be part of the Super Bowl because we're already hearing that Joe Biden wants to use a Taylor Swift strategy to get her to endorse him maybe at the Super Bowl or something crazy and none of it feels real does it like everything else in the world is so fake and so rigged that even something like football which I've always assumed was pretty straight I don't believe it this time now I'm not going to make a accusation because then you get sued I'm not going to say the game was rigged I'm just going to say that in today's environment that was a pretty big coincidence pretty big coincidence that Taylor Swift picked the guy who got 11 catches he got 11 catches do you think they were looking for him a little extra hard because he's Taylor's boyfriend maybe you can't tell you know he's also a star he's also a star so it could also happen completely naturally yeah anyway so we'll keep an eye on that if uh if it is rigged you would expect the Chiefs to beat um the 49ers in the Super Bowl so the ners made it so far my technique of picking the winner by the mascot is working out well I hear other people have used that technique as well but I've been doing it for 25 years or so in newspapers newspapers used to asked me before the Super Bowl who I thought was going to win just because they like asking some celebrity types and uh I had a pretty good record just picking the mascots but now what happens when the Chiefs and the 49ers meet H this one's ambiguous because a chief has a spear or a bow and arrow and a 49er would just have a shovel so normally normally I'm going to say spear beats shovel or pick oh pickaxe oh pick a dynamite okay now it's getting now it's getting interesting it might be spear versus D rifle okay there you go yes if you looked at them as individuals one Chief might get lucky with a spear and beat one 49er but if you look at the Arc of History the Chiefs didn't do as well as the 49ers so I would say the big picture supports the 4 9ers winning unless it's rigged no it's not rigged enjoy your Super Bowl and pretend that it all happened naturally I don't know if it's rigged I'll tell you I I have a persuasion Theory as well the the Super Bowl doesn't need to be rigged if all the players think that it would be better if Taylor Swift had more exposure with the NFL CU imagine what that does for future viewership of the NFL yeah you even if you're on the team that's trying to win the Super Bowl which seems like that would be the the highest goal for you there's probably a little bit of your brain that says you know what weirdly it would be better if we lost because then NFL does better and then they have more money and then I get paid more maybe so there is a weird incentive structure there uh I think both uh Jack bobic and V both said that the Super Bowl looks a little bit suspicious but Jack points out that Taylor Swift was no fan of the Soros family because they bought her entire music rights and without asking her permission they owned all their music uh but I guess she got around that by re-recording a lot of stuff and then she came out as super liberal in 2020 as jack points out and uh the V posted something that suggested just a little bit of a coincidence just a little bit of a coincidence that Taylor is getting so lucky in her choice of boyfriends it looks like it's intentional but I won't make that accusation I'll just say every bit of it looks like that and and in fact the New York Times is saying that Biden is going to pursue a a Taylor Swift strategy of getting her to endorse him if if uh if possible imagine being Taylor Swift and having that pressure that the this million year old man wants you to endorse him all right um how rigged is everything in the world well uh the amuse account on X tells us uh that the you know the uh EEG Carol trial and Trump was uh found liable 83 million he's supposed to pay her uh did you know that the judge in the case was the mentor of the prosecutor Ju Just let that sink in for a moment the judge in the case of trump in the EEG Carl case the judge was the longtime mentor of the prosecutor that's insane yeah and apparently that wasn't disclosed how in the world is that considered anything like justice clearly not now and how did we get to this point before we found out remember I told you that the only thing you need to know to understand the world is who if the news is telling you what happened you don't know anything this is a really important rule go hold this with you every time you watch the news if the news is telling you what happened which is what they typically do that's not news that's literally nothing well it's a little bit but what you really need to know is who the players are because once you know the players then you understand the what the what by itself is is brainwashing and propaganda the who tells you everything right so this trial if you knew what happened uh there was a case there was a result that's all you knew well don't you think it would be important to know that the judge was literally the mentor of the prosecutor you don't think that's giving you a little bit of insight about what might be going on here definitely not Justice now that doesn't mean that you know Trump is innocent of anything he's charged of that's a separate question but you can say for sure it wasn't a fair fair trial that much you can say for sure just based on the relationship all right uh this next category I'm going to call the black ification of trump the black ification I believe that the long Trump is abused by the justice system the more support he's going to get from black men women different situation but we saw that Snoop Dog uh said he had nothing but love and respect for him because Trump pardoned uh his death row co-found the Publishing Company music publishing company uh death row co-founder and we saw that uh Charlemagne the God was saying that he's getting a lot of calls from his community as he would call it uh saying what's up with this border which is an indirect way of being more Trump than Biden and uh interesting Chris Cuomo posted uh based on the the Snoop Dog story and he posted this he said as Snoop goes so goes the Country or is this an example of what should be painfully clear at this point people aren't going to just like or dislike a leader because the media and the players in the game tell them to at the end of the day it comes down to self-interest these days perceived Self self- Protection perceived self- protection who do you think Chris Cuomo is supporting when he says people need to realize they have to vote for their self- protection it's not pro Trump but it's not anti-trump if you know what I mean and I've told you I've hinted at this before but Chris Cuomo is not the CNN Chris Cuomo CNN Chris Cuomo might have been more of an invention uh human being Chris guomo I think you'd find a lot to agree with that that's all I'm going to say about that but uh not only that but the number one uh black uh hip hop artist in the world is a amazingly a strong Trump supporter who's who is it uh Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro he's the number one black wait hold on oh he's not black Ben Shapiro but uh he is the number one hip-hop artist along with an actual hip-hop artist uh they got the number one hip-hop Tom Mc.

Donald's is that Who's the artist Tom Mc.

Donald somebody says is that the name anyway so there you go so it looks like hip hop has turned strongly uh Pro Trump so UFC is pro Trump uh even the rock recently mentioned you know did you see with the crowd reaction to Trump and when The Rock said it it wasn't prot Trump or anti-trump but it definitely wasn't anti-trump so you see a whole bunch of people that you didn't necessarily expect to be a little bit more open-minded about Trump well Lindsey Graham wants to bomb Iran that that's what I call Perpetual news let me let me read the news that hasn't changed in 20 years the pope is speaking out against War oh didn't see that coming Lindsey Graham wants want to bomb Iran oh another surprise there's two surprises I didn't see either one of those coming did you that's your news that's the news well here's a counter point from David sax now I'm going to tie this together later with another story so David sa saxs as you know one of the uh Pay.

Pal Founders along with Elon Musk along with Peter teal and along with Reed Hoffman and a few others now when Davis saxs gives you an opinion online I'm going to read it to you I think I think I'll just read his whole opinion because I want you to see how clear it is right you don't have to agree with it it just has to be clear just watch how well expressed it is and then later I'm going to compare it to something else right so you don't have to you know Focus too much on the argument just see how clear it is and then we're going to compare that something later all right so David sax says it feels good in the moment for H heads to call for retaliation talk about Iran because Iran proxies uh killed some Americans in Syria which I didn't even know we had any there but uh I should have I should have so retaliation uh we have to think through the second order consequences right so here's what we need to think through if we were to attack Iran the us only has about 4,000 tomahawk missiles in its inventory we can do about a week of shock and awe then what are we go are we going to send in ground troops R Iran's territory is vast its forces are decentralized and enough of its infrastructure is underground by now it will also be supplied by China and Russia in retaliation are highly exposed bases in Syria and Iraq which neocons refuse to remove leading to the strategy will likely come under heavy fire in fact our troops there are sitting ducks our carrier groups would could even be targets America will take meaningful casualties meanwhile the straight of Hormuz could be closed compounding the situation in the Red Sea causing a global oil shock assuming Iran wants to continue the war will have no exit strategy regime change will fail we will be stuck in a new Forever War in fact there's a decent chance that we get run that we get run out of the Middle East now you could disagree with that you know there's always there's always room for disagreement in these big International Affairs because a lot of it is you know conjecture and assumptions and stuff like that but would you agree with my statement that this is really clear that do I will you give me that even if you disagree with it it's very clear all right later we're going to talk about something that makes less sense that's why I like to put this up as contrast so the contrast is that there's a founding member uh of Pay.

Pal but Geniuses basically you know with the musk and teal Etc and sure enough they act like really smart people all right so just hold that in your mind for a while I'm not going to give you an opinion except that well I will give you an opinion uh I don't know of any wars we get into and then we win and then we leave it's like that's not a thing anymore so whatever we do about Iran we're going to have to find something else we're just going to have to find some other way now you could argue maybe maybe Trump had it right just starving them economically would make them concentrate on Survival over over you know getting cocky um maybe I'm not sure there's any good re any good result here um all right here's your persuasion lesson for the day here's your payoff for watching me I like to make sure there's at least one thing you hear on my show that you won't hear anywhere else so here's your one thing you're not going to hear anywhere else uh if you're new to me I'm a trained hypnotist and so when I talk about persuasion I'm not guessing you've heard um in the news the Democrats refer to Trump um as the chaos candidate and the word chaos they try to work into every opinion so if they have opinion about Ukraine they'll say oh Trump this or that and chaos and uh his opinion on this is chaos and they just insert chaos everywhere that ladies and gentlemen is not an organic word do you remember any other candidate who was accused of chaos I don't chaos is like dark do you remember in 2016 the first time all the Democrats in in unison they all started saying that Trump's uh they said his speech at the convention was dark and it was obvious that the memo had go going out now at the time if you don't remember the story I had called out that probably that word dark uh is such a such a professionally chosen word that they probably had some help from a professional Persuader and I thought it was uh chelini the author of influence and persuasion now he was asked by some people who heard me say that and he refused to uh he said no comment would asked if he was helping uh the at the time the Hillary campaign so no comment generally is you know in that context would be considered a confirmation that he was and indeed he helped Obama so if you were the brilliant persuasion mind behind helping Obama it makes sense that Clinton may have used you as well so we have pretty good information that the word dark was chosen by the most professional people but what about chaos it's used exactly the same it's a catchall and chaos is specifically meant to scare senior citizens do you know who's not afraid of chaos young people so the Democrats have a lot of young people and you know but they don't care about that word one way or the other uh but the old people are really scared about chaos and the old people are more likely to vote for Trump so chaos is a really good word to work into every sentence and it has no specific um requirements you know that there's no objective standard for what is chaos and what is not which also makes it good so here's what you need to know about it this is an engineered word every time you hear it especially in the media if you see a media report in which they use the word chaos that's propaganda because it's an indefinable scare word an indefinable scare word is always propaganda always now this is the word chaos is being used exactly the way the Clinton Gore campaign back in 1990 whatever it was when did Clinton Gore run for reelection against uh what's his name 96 I think 96 was the reelection campaign yeah so do you remember when uh Gore started saying that uh trickle down economics was risky it was a risky scheme and then again yeah it was against Bob Dole because Bob Dole was pushing trickle down economics with Kemp as his running mate and uh Clinton Gorge just crushed that by saying it was too risky it might work but it's risky why would you do something risky when the economy is going well risky risky risky do you know where the risky word came from does anybody know the answer to that because risky chaos dark those are all professional words yeah the the average pundit doesn't come up with that right let me tell you who came up with risky for a Clinton Gore that was me true story yeah I was working with the campaign I mean unofficially I was working with them so I I had a connection in the campaign and uh they asked me specifically about the uh um about the debate where Gore used it and I told them say it's risky because it'll scare the old people because nobody knows if um nobody knows if trickle down works or doesn't work but they do know it's different so they'll believe it's risky and that pretty much got them elected now do you think that persuasion is powerful it's very powerful yeah if you pick the right word it changes the world now by the way they would deny the story so if if you go to fact check it don't expect it to be fact checked that's not how any of this works yeah nobody's gonna nobody's going to confirm that all right um and by the way I thought Clinton Gore Administration was successful remember I've told you I'm not I'm not in the camp for anybody in particular I just liked Clinton because he was somewhere in the middle I like middle presidents for most of the times at the moment I don't like a middle president at the moment I I want a trump president because that that seems to be more I don't know it seems more on point to our current problems you need a a bigger Bolder thing whereas I thought Clinton and Gore were uh you know more right down the middle just try to reach some middle point and I thought that was the right solution at that time did we get the glitch did we get a 34 Minute glitch looks like we might have lost some comments when that happened do we lose some comments yeah I'm going to fire up my other device which will show me your comments on the locals platform this works every time all right you're back all right um did you see the uh visual persuasion that the New York Post ran with Trump uh oh that's not working interestingly is locals down I guess I can't ask you if if there's somebody who uh who's on local who also has my phone number could you text me and tell me if locals is completely down because I can't see it on my other device but we'll keep going because we got three three platforms that are definitely live uh but let me show you a uh photo that the New York Post decided was a good photo of of trump so now the the photo people the people who picked the photos uh they're often separate from the writers so look at the photo that was chosen I'll show you both on both platforms that's a photo that was chosen for a generic story The the New York Post thought of all the photos in the world of trump you know infinite photos that that photo was one for a generic story remember had nothing to do with what he's you motioning or any of that it's just a generic story and they ran that photo the whoever whoever chooses the photos um really has way more power than they should um it's working okay thanks thank you got a confirmation that locals is working just uh I'll make sure comments come back on all right they'll they'll come back in a minute all right uh let's talk about Biden's brain so his latest mashed potato brain somebody somebody used that phrase I like that um he actually called Trump the sitting president uh did you see what he recently said about this is Biden he wants to he wants to see the economy crash this year a sitting president do do you think Trump wants to see the economy crash this year no but it would be good for her his reelection do do you think that's an accurate statement of what Trump's inner thoughts are oh I like to see America go down the drain so I could get elected I doubt it I doubt it um and and then he then he led us in prayer and he said uh as they say in my faith this is Biden as they say in my faith bless me Father for I mean come on man now if you don't mind I'm I'm not really a religious person but I do feel inspired today to lead you in prayer if you don't mind could you just bow your head I'd like to Lead You In abide in prayer everybody pray with me as they say in my faith bless me father I mean come on man amen Amen to that come on man so Biden's brain is working just great meanwhile CNN is dying over in the Philippines they closed their operation CNN did um I don't know if it's the beginning of their Global media destruction but uh I feel like a lot of the stories about things I don't like are dying Biden's dying CNN's dying Dei is dying CRT is dying ESG is dying China's dying so I'm having a good year all the things I don't like are dying speaking of mayorcas Alejandro mayoras um let me ask you this what's up with him why is it that we have a person whose job it is to guard the country who's doing literally the opposite and we don't know why does that bother you at all um May orcus I'm pretty sure you could figure out a way to close that border even though you're not the president you could probably work with it probably figure that out but he seems aggressively uninterested in fixing the Border in a in a way that's surprising what would be your assumption about somebody whose job performance is the opposite of what his job would require and you don't quite know why what how would you explain it I explain it by outside s outside influence meaning that he's not his own man could be just that he's you know bowing to the Democrats and he has to say dumb things to make them happy but don't you assume that there's something sinister behind him it just feels like there's something there um that's that's really the only thing I have to say about it but I have the same feeling about Soros how do you explain all the things that Soros does because they seem to be 100% designed to be bad for the country and it's all different things if he did one thing I didn't like then I'd say oh he and I have a different opinion about what's good for the country but if you do a whole range of funding and every single one seems clearly bad for the country what are you going to conclude about that well you could conclude that uh the Soros family is evil and that's why other people conclude I don't believe that that because it'd be too weird that the father and the son you know shared this evil and the whole organization shared it and it would be too weird I don't believe that I believe that it's more likely that the people who act opposite of what seems like a person should act are probably blackmailed or bribed or or in some other way beholden to somebody or they're under duress in some way so I think that the soros's are not the top of their pile I think that somebody has blackmail on the Soros family uh I don't I can't think of any other way to explain observation so that doesn't mean it's true I don't have any like facts I don't have any you know evidence but if somebody acts exactly like they're under duress what are you going to assume if it's just once you'd say well I guess I I'm just confused but if it's all all day long every day for years I'm going to assume that there's somebody who wants to destroy the country who's pushing them in ways we don't understand here's some more stupid fake news about the Russ about uh Russia so somebody named uh David from and remember I keep telling you you have to know the players it doesn't help you to know what happened it only helps you to know who was behind it that's that's the news so David from is someone that if you didn't know would be one of the least credible people on the whole planet I don't need to go into the details but in the history of politics you would be you'd have to look pretty hard to find somebody with lower credibility all right he's part of the propaganda part of the world and he writes in the Atlantic do you know the Atlantic if you said to yourself what happened oh there's a major publication with a story you wouldn't know anything if you knew the Atlantic is basically just a Democrat tool for uh insulting Republicans it's not anything like a publication it's just a political tool at this point so if you knew that from is the least credible person in the world and the Atlantic is the least credible publication then does that make this story sound more uh understandable that uh from is writing that As Trump has neared renominate ation uh his party especially in the House of Representatives has surrendered to his protin pressure oh big surprise the two least credible entities David from and the Atlantic are writing that Trump is is pro Putin uh during an election year now imagine if you didn't follow the news and you didn't know the players you didn't know that the Atlantic is not to be trusted and he didn't know that David from is a propagandist you would read this and you think oh this is kind of scary this a little Putin but if you know the players it's just sort of funny because it's it's just so right in your face how fake it is so when I read it I just laughed really the Atlantic David from now here's my favorite mystery Reed Hoffman so we know that Reed Hoffman or reportedly you maybe you shouldn't trust any news but edly Reed Hoffman is the person who funded the arene Caroll suit do you think he did that because he really wants women to be heard and he cares about me too and it's Justice and he's helping this this victim does it feel like that's probably what's driving him I know there are a lot of victims out there it's funny you picked this one so that seems a little uh just purely political some way to hurt Trump then also uh Reed Hoffman was uh big F big funer of Nikki Haley which is weird because he's a Democrat and why would you fund a republican who even the Republicans have some trouble with none of that makes sense does it so if you were if you were one of the Pay.

Pal Geniuses literally a billionaire literally a genius and through three out of four of the ones you can name who are in Pay.

Pal are clearly on the same side of things which I wouldn't call Republican I don't think that's what's going on I I don't think that I don't think that musk or sax or teal are pro- Republican that's just not the way I take them I take them as Pro Mak sense make sense of it make sense of the border right is that a republican thing or is that just everybody looking at it go can you make some sense of this can you close that thing all right that's not a republican opinion the fact that we imagine it is is just crazy that's just a logical opinion so why would it that Reed Hoffman who's as smart as them as well informed as them would be so on the opposite side and I'm going to I'm going to say that whenever you see a mystery like this it's probably outside influence so I don't know on nature but it looks like blackmail so I would I assume that all the the billionaires who are doing things that we don't understand are just blackmail now I don't have proof of that but as a working assumption almost everything in our government seems blackmail related like everybody has some kind of influence or pressure or bribery or know something and I feel like our whole that we live in a black mail Ury we know that Epstein was a big old blackmailer we know that Reed Hoffman once went to the island there's no evidence um no no claim whatsoever they did anything you know improper because there were a lot of people went to the island they didn't all do anything improper so and then and also I'm not sure I believe he necessarily went there all the stuff about who was on the EP list I don't know that that's true so if you see a name on a list whether read off don't assume it's true and don't assume that they there was somebody who had a common interest and they all that's not unusual that people to get together if they have a common interest but given that we know Epstein was a major blackmail operation and then we see people who are acting in ways that don't seem to make sense for their own best interest or the country um to me the most logical assumption is some kind of influence yeah no I don't think it's mental illness not in their case I mean there's a lot of TDS but I don't think Soros says TDS I doubt Reed Hoffman has TDS there's something else going on what about Mark cubin he's a mystery too another billionaire mystery so he's he's all in on Dei and diversity but watching him debate this in public is getting kind of hilarious because his argument keeps getting smaller and smaller because he's trying to find a way way to uh publicly support discrimination he's trying to support racial discrimination against white people but make an argument for it so here here's where he retreated all the way to today so he was posting I guess who was arguing with the the rabbit account um he said hypothetically all right you have 30 white male employees and you want to improve you think you can improve your uh your profitability If instead of having 30 white male employees if you had at least a black woman you might get more perspective you get a diverse perspective and that could help your company so he says uh are you okay with hiring the black woman or would you call that racial discrimination let me ask you you got 30 white male employees and maybe not because you discriminated it just turned out that way so let's just use that as our hypothetical example and then you say to yourself you know I think I could do better work if I had a black woman because she'd bring some diverse um diverse perspective is that uh is that racial discrimination of course it is by definition that's exactly what it is but the question is should it be okay should that very narrowly specific thing where you don't have diverse perspectives but you know you could add it why do you think you would get the useful diverse perspective from a black woman but not from one of the 30 guys who's already there what none none of the 30 guys know any black people they don't have any any insight whatsoever into that world they couldn't ask somebody no it's just it's just discrimination would it work maybe is that ever a reason for racial discrimination nope so I think the argument is if it could make your company better and you weren't doing it for racial reasons would it be okay it could make you more profitable and you're not doing it because you're racist you're doing it just to make yourself more profitable no it's not okay that's just racism just racism we don't do that so why would Mark Cuban be in favor of something that is uh so hard to defend um my guess is that he runs businesses that have a lot of diversity in them and that's the end of the story if if you were the leader of a bunch of companies that really really valued diversity and you had a lot of diversity then I would say yeah as the leader you probably want to um take into account that the people you lead have this opinion and supporting them actually makes sense from a business perspective U from other perspectives you could be mad at it but it makes perfect sense that if you're a leader of a bunch of diverse people who like diversity you should be Pro diversity I think I would be too if you put me in the same situation I probably say what he says because there would be a lot of uh I think there' just be a lot of pressure to support the people that you you work with that but let me uh let me try uh mark um let's try let's try Mark's example was very narrow so let's say you had a basketball team that had only black players on it and you said to yourself if we added a white player we might get some white um perspective because because what if the basketball players are bringing a black perspective to the game and I I'm blind to it because I'm white so you know don't see it but shouldn't I add a white basketball player who's maybe not as strong as the rest to get that extra perspective I I don't need to answer the question I'm pretty sure a basketball team is just picking the best Shooters and blockers anyway Putin's going to run again uh looks like uh he's running for re-election so the Russia Election Commission has formally registered him for March election you know what I don't like to go out on a limb and make predictions about politics because you know a lot could happen but Putin running for reelection in Russia I'm gonna say I like his chances I'm gonna say I like his chances I don't know I'm just going to put myself out there take a risk sometimes you got to take a risk I like his chances uh Nancy Pelosi uh is suggesting that we should look into the pro Palestinian protest because they have a con connetion to can you guess anybody want to take a guess Nancy Peli the pro Palestinian protesters they might be influenced by somebody from the an side who could be could be could it be Putin yes that is what she's suggesting is there evidence no but it's an election year so I'm sure we're going to blame Putin for everything all right um here's some fake news about Trump surprise so you've heard the story that and even the GOP lawmakers are believing the story that uh Trump is telling people even his Republican friends that uh he doesn't want a border deal because he'd rather run on the issue does that sound true to you does it sound true that Trump Trump doesn't want to solve the Border issue uh with a bill he doesn't Sol he doesn't want to solve it with the legislation that's being proposed but uh he wants to run on it instead all right so here's what they told us they said uh Trump doesn't want Biden have a border Bill Victory does that sound true Trump doesn't want Biden to have a border Bill victory yeah of course because because Biden could run on it now I think that's true second part is does Trump want to run on the issue of course well who wouldn't it's the biggest issue well are we surprised he wants to run on the biggest issue in the country no but what's missing from it have you spotted it have you spotted the brainwashing propaganda there's something missing from the story so the parts they tell us and this was in the hill I think that he doesn't want Biden to have a legislative Victory on the border and that he wants to run on the issue I think both of those sound true but here's what's left out does Trump think the Border bill is good isn't that the most important part of the story because if Trump thinks the Border bill is good and he still wants to kill it so that he can win an election well am I wouldn't support that would you who would support that I don't know any Republican who would support that but isn't the important part of the story is the legislation being considered making things better or worse my understanding is it codifies uh an untenable situation in other words it lets in so many people legally that we'd still have a huge problem it wouldn't solve the problem it would reduce it a little at best yeah so if if if Trump is against a terrible legislation attempt and and given that he wouldn't want that to be signed under any condition no matter who his president is it fair to say that Trump doesn't want Biden to have a border Bill Victory and that Trump wants to run on the issue both true but if you leave out that the B the Border bill is garbage it looks like he's just being a jerk if you know that the Border Bill makes things worse not better then you say well of course he wants to run on the issue of course he doesn't want Biden to have success passing a bad Bill like who who who exactly is fooled by this how many of you were fooled by this story and you didn't realize the part left out is that is that Trump doesn't like the bill I'll bet a few of you I'll bet that even got a lot of Republicans and it's just so obviously propaganda well here's some fun over in Gaza um two words you don't think you'll ever hear together but uh so turns out that El jazer is reporting this now if you didn't know uh El jazer is considered one of the most reliable news outlets were you aware of that that you know people who pay attention call Al jaero one of the most reliable but with the exception of Israel stuff yeah if if if El jair is reporting on Israel you know that that's not necessarily where they're going to be objective but on other stuff if has nothing to do with Israel they're they're actually considered a good news source by a lot of people I I'm not agreeing with that I'm just telling you that Syria people think it's a good news source except about the Middle East um but they're reporting that uh several members of the Israeli government are on the same side as far right uh people who want to resettle Gaza and make it basically an Israeli settlement just never give it back to the Palestinians are you surprised are you surprised yeah I I don't see how this wouldn't happen it seems like terrible timing if I were these right-wing people I'm not sure I would be doing this in public during the middle of a hot war that feels like a bad idea so I'm a little suspicious how much of this is true news given the source um but I wouldn't be surprised if people are pushing to keep Gaza an Israeli Outpost or settlement I guess in the long run I think that's what's going to happen all right uh here's a civil war update on Texas firsts versus the rest of the country uh I predicted that I told you that men are always fighting Wars in their head so even if nobody's punching or shooting we're always at War sort of a continuous state of what if this could I beat this person you know what if somebody comes in here with a gun what do I do we're always thinking you know how to defend ourselves it's just natural so I predicted that the uh The Men Who were going to protect the Texas border would Prevail over Biden and that Biden couldn't overrule them it would just be too politically dangerous and that the Texans have decided that they're going to close the border which is different from wanting it closed and differing different from complaining and different from proposing a way to close it those are all wants Texas apparently has decided and once you've decided then you will do whatever it takes and if the Biden Administration wants to stop Texas they're going to have to use violence at this point and I don't see any way that that makes sense in an election year especially so I to me it was obvious that Texas would win this battle in The Limited sense that the government is not going to take down their wire fence at least during the election year so it looks like that's where it's headed can't be sure yet but I think the the wires going to stay up uh however in uh rasmuson reports says 69% of likely us voters support Texas are wreting their own barriers now slightly less 55% agree with the quote um that uh that clay igin said the feds are staging a Civil War and Texas should stand their ground 55% of the likely voters say Texas should stand its ground basically even if it's violent imagine being the president trying to solve this problem and 55% of the electorate says if it comes to violence they don't say that directly but that's how I that's how I interpret it that if it comes to violence they're going to back the state over the federal government and if I haven't said it directly I'll say it right now if it comes to violence I'm going to back Texas over the federal government I don't want to be any ambiguity about that Texas over the federal government On the Border issue now I'm not looking for Texas to secede from the union that's not my first choice but if the bullets start flying I'm on Texas's side period because they're in the right that's just the way it has to be um and with that understanding I believe that the uh at least the men in the administration are going to assess the situation exactly as I just did and they're going to say we could use our bullets and we could start locking people up like the governor but if we do it's going to get really wet and it's not going to be good for us so I think that's I think Texas is heading for something like a you know a temporary Victory on the border now of course that will just push people to other border openings so it won't do much for uh the overall immigration except it will create a model where other states could emulate it Tex obviously California won't so as long as California is open you know everybody can get in if they want to all right so the other thing is there's this uh I haven't heard too much about it but the trucker protest apparently there's going to be an American version of the Canadian truckers but maybe some of the Canadian truckers are helping and I don't know how big it is or how organized it is or who organized it but I'm a little bit suspicious about it because it feels a little bit like a trap I I'm worried that the truckers are just putting a Target on their backs like the January 6 people did and that what the Democrats really want is some violence from some right leaning people that that would be their orgasmic Perfect Situation oh can we get some going from people who like Trump so I would worry that the trucker thing is not as organic and Grassroots as it looks there might be something behind it that's a malign influence so I'd be concerned about that um and under today's environment uh I don't think I would protest anything unless you were you were down to win at all costs and usually Pro protests are not a win at all costs because all costs includes you know all costs generally our protests are about talking and we want a political solution so in our current environment protesting for a political solution is just painting a Target on your back because we don't have free speech the way we used to now you got a jail we've got jails that got quite a few political protesters in it called the January 6 people now of course if you're a Dem R and you're a idiot and you wandered into this live stream you're saying but but Scott but but they committed some crimes I'm sorry they did this to you I really am I'm genuinely I look at the Democrats as victims to be so brainwashed into thinking that you know either all the people in jail committed an actual crime how can you think that of course there were some crimes and those people will deal with the justice system as they should but no the January 6 jailings are not legitimate they're political purely political yeah and and we do have a potential solution to it and and I I've said this before but I'll say it again I would support Trump if every one of his policies were wrong but he supported uh pardons for the jailed people including you know Peter Navaro if he just said that I'd say okay the first thing we have to fix is free speech so fix that get get the free speech protesters out in jail and I'd say Navaro too I don't think he's legitimately charged now when I say legitimate I don't mean that there isn't some technical violation I just mean it wouldn't be it wouldn't be addressed the same way yeah they're more like hostages you're right so I probably would have supported which whoever was a republican candidate l or Trump or whoever it was who would just pardon them because you got to fix Free Speech first that's first if you don't get that everything else is unfixable so yeah policies are a bonus if you like Trump's policies I'm not even sure I'll ever argue them I mean immigration's obvious so I'll argue that one but I don't know what to do in Ukraine not really I don't know what to do anywhere else not really I'm not sure anybody does but if we can get that one thing just the one thing we have to reverse the January 6 hoax because the January 6 hoax is maybe the worst thing that I've ever seen happen to the country um you know violence of course always looks worse but in the uh in terms of the Republic um I think even Mc.

Carthyism maybe wasn't as bad as January 6 not the attack the hoax of it the the attack was you know had some violence and that's bad but what was worse was that it was treated as an Insurrection when it clearly was a protest to protect the country not overthrow it uh somebody somebody says you looked at Al jazer in the first article was about climate change in Sierra Leon all right uh razor wire can be easily mended with bailing wire is that true maybe it is you could fix it with razor wire too all right ladies and gentlemen this concludes the best short live stream you're going to see today hope you learn something about persuasion that's always my goal to make you smarter than watching regular news and I'm going to say bye now to the uh three platforms um I'm going to say bye to uh You.

Tube Rumble and the xplatform thanks for joining and we'll see you again tomorrow for another amazing live stream

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human

civilization we' like to call this

coffee with Scott Adams because that's

what it is and if you'd like to take

this experience up to levels that human

beings can't even understand because

it's so high well then all you have to

do is grab yourself a copper margara

glass a tankered cheler Stein a canteen

Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill

it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous sip

Today's show is going to be amazing by

the way

go

ah so

good

um what is today's date everybody's

telling me I put the wrong date in my

comic today but I think I got it write

on the second

try people don't believe me when I I I

say I have a

uh oh Monday the

29th yeah I got the wrong date on the

calendar again did

I no I thought I got it right all right

anyway we got a show to

do um does anybody have this situation

now that's already starting with me I'll

be doing something that I always have to

do such as posting my comic in the

morning by the way if you didn't know

dilber never stopped it's just behind

the locals pay wall and also on X you

could subscribe to it there it's there

every day it's very naughty today's

especially Naughty by the way if you

didn't get today's Dilbert and it didn't

make sense think naughtier if you if you

put your mind in a really naughty space

the will make

sense that's your tip for the day all

right

um if you think the future involves AI

doing everything for

you I feel like there's going to be a

separation the dumb people in society

are going to do whatever the AI tells

them because the AI is smarter than them

so I believe there will be a point where

the AI actually tells their owner how to

vote like actually literally

I think there will be a point where

people below a certain level of I'm

going to say intelligence or at least

below a certain level of paying

attention to the world they're going to

wait till election day and they're going

to ask their robot who they should vote

for and the robot will say you know well

knowing you and all the things that you

want to accomplish in life and knowing

the candidates I think you should vote

for this one and then the people below

that level of intelligence or just

paying attention are just going to go

with the robots but there's going to be

a separation there will be another group

of people and I hope I'm in it but I

don't know for sure in which we will be

working with the AI and the robots in

some kind of a collaborative

situation so for example um I've wanted

to upgrade the quality of my

videos specifically making clips and I

wanted to you know add captions and

stuff like that and so I did some

research and I said what AI will do all

these things I want to do to fix up my

videos you know to get rid of

imperfections and improve the sound and

add some captions and you know find the

the good parts and add some timestamps

there's a whole bunch of stuff you want

to do turns out there is no such thing

as one app that does all those things so

you end up doing something like research

so for example if I want to add uh time

stamps to my video I'm making right now

I I can only do it with uh YouTube

because it knows to find the transcript

and then there's an app called instant

chapters but it only works after YouTube

generates the transcript which doesn't

happen for several hours but it could be

delayed it could be you know many more

hours so you have this

situation where AI can't close the gap

between what you want to do and what it

can do

so you still need a human being to

figure out it's going to take I think in

my case maybe six different AI apps to

just make a clip now it it would work

really well because the the apps are uh

are excellent but uh take a look at the

app created by

descript um so that so it's going around

today it's kind of viral so my clip that

got taken out of my larger show the

other day in which I um yes I already

did this simultaneous zp can you shut up

about

it if you missed the Sip it's just

because you're late okay yeah you you

could all stop talking about it all

right um anyway so there's an app called

descript that added the captions take a

look at it on my video clip in which I'm

um saying that V is the obvious choice

for vice president for Trump and you'll

like the you might like the video itself

it's looks like it's going going

slightly viral people seem to like it a

lot but look at the technology just look

at how the captions are added and you

can see that you know nobody's going to

do it without AI in the

future all right here's the least

surprising thing in the world can you

believe it that Taylor Swift's

boyfriend's team uh is going to get to

the Super Bowl huh nobody saw that

coming Taylor Swift the the person that

everybody thinks might be part of some

giant Democrat influence campaign

because she's so popular and now she

likes the Chiefs and she's very very

Democrat at the

moment um how many of you think the the

that that game was fixed meaning that

there was something going on that's

bigger than football that needs Taylor

Swift to be part of the Super Bowl

because we're already hearing that Joe

Biden wants to use a Taylor Swift

strategy to get her to endorse him maybe

at the Super Bowl or something crazy and

none of it feels real does

it like everything else in the world is

so fake and so rigged that even

something like

football which I've always assumed was

pretty straight I don't believe it this

time now I'm not going to make a

accusation because then you get sued I'm

not going to say the game was rigged I'm

just going to say that in today's

environment that was a pretty big

coincidence pretty big coincidence that

Taylor Swift picked the guy who got 11

catches he got 11 catches do you think

they were looking for him a little extra

hard because he's Taylor's

boyfriend

maybe you can't tell you know he's also

a star he's also a star so it could also

happen completely naturally

yeah anyway so we'll keep an eye on that

if uh if it is rigged you would expect

the Chiefs to

beat um the 49ers in the Super Bowl so

the ners made it so far my technique of

picking the winner by the mascot is

working out well I hear other people

have used that technique as well but

I've been doing it for 25 years or so in

newspapers newspapers used to asked me

before the Super Bowl who I thought was

going to win just because they like

asking some celebrity types and uh I had

a pretty good record just picking the

mascots but now what happens when the

Chiefs and the 49ers meet H this one's

ambiguous because a chief has a

spear or a bow and arrow and a 49er

would just have a shovel so normally

normally I'm going to say spear beats

shovel or pick oh pickaxe oh pick a

dynamite okay now it's getting now it's

getting interesting it might be spear

versus D rifle okay there you go yes if

you looked at them as

individuals one Chief might get lucky

with a spear and beat one 49er but if

you look at the Arc of

History the Chiefs didn't do as well as

the 49ers so I would say the big picture

supports the 4 9ers winning unless it's

rigged no it's not rigged enjoy your

Super Bowl and pretend that it all

happened naturally I don't know if it's

rigged I'll tell you I I have a

persuasion Theory as

well the the Super Bowl doesn't need to

be rigged if all the players think that

it would be better if Taylor Swift had

more exposure with the

NFL CU imagine what that does for future

viewership of the

NFL yeah you even if you're on the team

that's trying to win the Super Bowl

which seems like that would be the the

highest goal for you there's probably a

little bit of your brain that says you

know what weirdly it would be better if

we lost because then NFL does better and

then they have more money and then I get

paid more maybe so there is a weird

incentive structure

there uh I think both uh Jack bobic and

V both said that the Super Bowl looks a

little bit

suspicious but Jack points out that

Taylor Swift was no fan of the Soros

family because they bought her entire

music rights and without asking her

permission they owned all their music uh

but I guess she got around that by

re-recording a lot of stuff and then she

came out as super liberal in 2020 as

jack points out and uh the V posted

something that suggested just a little

bit of a coincidence

just a little bit of a coincidence that

Taylor is getting so lucky in her choice

of boyfriends it looks like it's

intentional but I won't make that

accusation I'll just say every bit of it

looks like

that and and in fact the New York Times

is saying that Biden is going to pursue

a a Taylor Swift strategy of getting her

to endorse him if if uh if possible

imagine being Taylor Swift and having

that pressure that the this million year

old man wants you to endorse him all

right

um how rigged is everything in the world

well uh the amuse account on X tells us

uh that the you know the uh EEG Carol

trial and Trump was uh found liable 83

million he's supposed to pay her uh did

you know that the judge in the case was

the

mentor of the prosecutor

Ju Just let that sink in for a moment

the judge in the case of trump in the

EEG Carl case the judge was the longtime

mentor of the

prosecutor that's

insane yeah and apparently that wasn't

disclosed how in the world is that

considered anything like justice clearly

not now and how did we get to this point

before we found out

remember I told you that the only thing

you need to know to understand the world

is

who if the news is telling you what

happened you don't know

anything this is a really important rule

go hold this with you every time you

watch the news if the news is telling

you what happened which is what they

typically do that's not news that's

literally

nothing well it's a little bit but what

you really need to know is who the

players are because once you know the

players then you understand the what the

what by itself is is brainwashing and

propaganda the who tells you everything

right so this trial if you knew what

happened uh there was a case there was a

result that's all you knew well don't

you think it would be important to know

that the judge was literally the mentor

of the prosecutor you don't think that's

giving you a little bit of insight about

what might be going on here definitely

not Justice now that doesn't mean that

you know Trump is innocent of anything

he's charged of that's a separate

question but you can say for sure it

wasn't a fair fair

trial that much you can say for sure

just based on the

relationship all right uh this next

category I'm going to call the black

ification of trump the black

ification I believe that the long Trump

is abused by the justice

system the more support he's going to

get from black men women different

situation but we saw that Snoop Dog uh

said he had nothing but love and respect

for him because Trump pardoned uh his

death row co-found the Publishing

Company music publishing company uh

death row

co-founder and we saw that uh

Charlemagne the God was saying that he's

getting a lot of calls from his

community as he would call it uh saying

what's up with this border which is an

indirect way of being more Trump than

Biden and uh interesting Chris Cuomo

posted uh based on the the Snoop Dog

story and he posted this he said as

Snoop goes so goes the Country or is

this an example of what should be

painfully clear at this point people

aren't going to just like or dislike a

leader because the media and the players

in the game tell them to at the end of

the day it comes down to self-interest

these days perceived Self self-

Protection perceived self-

protection who do you

think Chris Cuomo is supporting when he

says people need to realize they have to

vote for their self-

protection it's not pro

Trump but it's not anti-trump if you

know what I

mean and I've told you I've hinted at

this before but Chris Cuomo is not the

CNN Chris Cuomo CNN Chris Cuomo might

have been more of an

invention uh human being Chris guomo I

think you'd find a lot to agree with

that that's all I'm going to say about

that but uh not only that but the number

one uh black uh hip hop artist in the

world is a amazingly a strong Trump

supporter who's who is it uh Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro he's the number one black

wait hold

on oh he's not black Ben Shapiro but uh

he is the number one hip-hop artist

along with an actual hip-hop artist uh

they got the number one

hip-hop Tom McDonald's is that Who's the

artist

Tom McDonald somebody says is that the

name anyway so there you go so it looks

like hip hop has turned strongly uh Pro

Trump so UFC is pro Trump uh even the

rock recently mentioned you know did you

see with the crowd reaction to Trump and

when The Rock said it it wasn't prot

Trump or

anti-trump but it definitely wasn't

anti-trump so you see a whole bunch of

people that you didn't necessarily

expect to be a little bit more

open-minded about

Trump well Lindsey Graham wants to bomb

Iran that that's what I call Perpetual

news let me let me read the news that

hasn't changed in 20

years the pope is speaking out against

War oh didn't see that coming Lindsey

Graham wants want to bomb Iran oh

another surprise there's two surprises I

didn't see either one of those coming

did you that's your news that's the news

well here's a counter point from David

sax now I'm going to tie this together

later with another story so David sa

saxs as you know one of the uh PayPal

Founders along with Elon Musk along with

Peter teal and along with Reed Hoffman

and a few

others now when Davis saxs gives you an

opinion online I'm going to read it to

you I think I think I'll just read his

whole opinion because I want you to see

how clear it

is right you don't have to agree with it

it just has to be clear just watch how

well expressed it is and then later I'm

going to compare it to something else

right so you don't have to you know

Focus too much on the argument just see

how clear it is and then we're going to

compare that something later all right

so David sax says it feels good in the

moment for H heads to call for

retaliation talk about Iran because Iran

proxies uh killed some Americans in

Syria which I didn't even know we had

any there but uh I should have I should

have so retaliation uh we have to think

through the second order consequences

right so here's what we need to think

through if we were to attack Iran the us

only has about 4,000 tomahawk missiles

in its inventory we can do about a week

of shock and awe then what are we go are

we going to send in ground troops R

Iran's territory is vast its forces are

decentralized and enough of its

infrastructure is underground by now it

will also be supplied by China and

Russia in retaliation are highly exposed

bases in Syria and Iraq which neocons

refuse to remove leading to the strategy

will likely come under heavy fire in

fact our troops there are sitting ducks

our carrier groups would could even be

targets America will take meaningful

casualties meanwhile the straight of

Hormuz could be closed compounding the

situation in the Red Sea causing a

global oil shock assuming Iran wants to

continue the war will have no exit

strategy regime change will fail we will

be stuck in a new Forever War in fact

there's a decent chance that we get run

that we get run out of the Middle

East now you could disagree with

that you know there's always there's

always room for disagreement in these

big International Affairs because a lot

of it is you know conjecture and

assumptions and stuff like that but

would you agree with my statement that

this is really

clear that do I will you give me that

even if you disagree with it it's very

clear all right later we're going to

talk about something that makes less

sense that's why I like to put this up

as contrast so the contrast is that

there's a founding

member uh of PayPal but Geniuses

basically you know with the musk and

teal Etc and sure enough they act like

really smart

people all right so just hold that in

your mind for a while I'm not going to

give you an opinion except that well I

will give you an opinion uh I don't know

of any wars we get into and then we win

and then we leave it's like that's not a

thing anymore so whatever we do about

Iran we're going to have to find

something

else we're just going to have to find

some other way now you could argue maybe

maybe Trump had it right just starving

them economically would make them

concentrate on Survival over over you

know getting

cocky um maybe I'm not sure there's any

good re any good result

here um all right here's your persuasion

lesson for the

day here's your payoff for watching me I

like to make sure there's at least one

thing you hear on my show that you won't

hear anywhere else so here's your one

thing you're not going to hear anywhere

else uh if you're new to me I'm a

trained hypnotist and so when I talk

about persuasion I'm not

guessing you've heard um in the news the

Democrats refer to Trump um as the chaos

candidate and the word chaos they try to

work into every opinion so if they have

opinion about Ukraine they'll say oh

Trump this or that and chaos and uh his

opinion on this is chaos and they just

insert chaos

everywhere that ladies and gentlemen is

not an organic word do you remember any

other candidate who was accused of

chaos I

don't chaos is like dark do you remember

in 2016 the first time all the Democrats

in in unison they all started saying

that Trump's uh they said his speech at

the convention was dark and it was

obvious that the memo had go going out

now at the time if you don't remember

the story I had called out that probably

that word dark uh is such a such a

professionally chosen word that they

probably had some help from a

professional Persuader and I thought it

was uh

chelini the author of influence and

persuasion now he was asked by some

people who heard me say that and he

refused to uh

he said no comment would asked if he was

helping uh the at the time the Hillary

campaign so no comment generally is you

know in that context would be considered

a confirmation that he was and indeed he

helped Obama so if you were the

brilliant persuasion mind behind helping

Obama it makes sense that Clinton may

have used you as well so we have pretty

good information that the word dark was

chosen by the

most professional

people but what about

chaos it's used exactly the same it's a

catchall and chaos is specifically meant

to scare senior citizens do you know

who's not afraid of chaos young people

so the Democrats have a lot of young

people and you know but they don't care

about that word one way or the other uh

but the old people are really scared

about chaos and the old people are more

likely to vote for

Trump so chaos is a really good word to

work into every sentence and it has no

specific um requirements you know that

there's no objective standard for what

is chaos and what is not which also

makes it good so here's what you need to

know about it this is an engineered word

every time you hear it especially in the

media if you see a media report in which

they use the word

chaos that's

propaganda

because it's an indefinable scare word

an indefinable scare word is always

propaganda

always now this is the word chaos is

being used exactly the way the Clinton

Gore campaign back in 1990 whatever it

was when did Clinton Gore run for

reelection against

uh what's his

name 96 I think 96 was the reelection

campaign yeah so do you remember when uh

Gore started saying that uh trickle down

economics was risky it was a risky

scheme and then again yeah it was

against Bob Dole because Bob Dole was

pushing trickle down economics with Kemp

as his running mate and uh Clinton Gorge

just crushed that by saying it was too

risky it might work but it's risky why

would you do something risky when the

economy is going well risky risky risky

do you know where the risky word came

from does anybody know the answer to

that because risky

chaos dark those are all professional

words yeah the the average pundit

doesn't come up with that right let me

tell you who came up with risky for a

Clinton Gore that was

me true story yeah I was working with

the

campaign I mean unofficially I was

working with them so I I had a

connection in the campaign

and uh they asked me specifically about

the

uh um about the debate where Gore used

it and I told them say it's risky

because it'll scare the old people

because nobody knows if um nobody knows

if trickle down works or doesn't work

but they do know it's different so

they'll believe it's risky and that

pretty much got them

elected now do you think that persuasion

is powerful

it's very powerful yeah if you pick the

right word it changes the world now by

the way they would deny the story so if

if you go to fact check it don't expect

it to be fact

checked that's not how any of this works

yeah nobody's gonna nobody's going to

confirm

that all right

um and by the way I thought Clinton Gore

Administration was

successful remember I've told you I'm

not I'm not in the camp for anybody in

particular I just liked Clinton because

he was somewhere in the middle I like

middle presidents for most of the times

at the moment I don't like a middle

president at the moment I I want a trump

president because that that seems to be

more I don't know it seems more on point

to our current problems you need a a

bigger Bolder thing whereas I thought

Clinton and Gore were uh you know more

right down the middle just try to reach

some middle point and I thought that was

the right solution at that time did we

get the

glitch did we get a 34 Minute glitch

looks like we might have lost some

comments when that happened do we lose

some

comments yeah I'm going to fire up my

other device which will show me your

comments on the locals

platform this works every

time

all right you're

back all right

um did you see the uh visual persuasion

that the New York Post ran with

Trump uh oh that's not working

interestingly is locals

down I guess I can't ask you if if

there's somebody who uh who's on local

who also has my phone number could you

text me and tell me if locals is

completely down because I can't see it

on my other

device but we'll keep going because we

got three three platforms that are

definitely

live uh but let me show you a uh photo

that the New York Post decided was a

good photo of of

trump so now the the photo people the

people who picked the

photos uh they're often separate from

the writers

so look at the

photo that was chosen I'll show you both

on both platforms that's a photo that

was chosen for a generic

story The the New York Post thought of

all the photos in the world of trump you

know infinite photos that that photo was

one for a generic story remember had

nothing to do with what he's you

motioning or any of that it's just a

generic story and they ran that photo

the whoever whoever chooses the

photos um really has way more power than

they

should um it's working okay

thanks thank you got a confirmation that

locals is working just

uh I'll make sure comments come back

on all right they'll they'll come back

in a

minute all right

uh let's talk about Biden's brain so his

latest mashed potato brain somebody

somebody used that phrase I like that um

he actually called Trump the sitting

president uh did you see what he

recently said about this is Biden he

wants to he wants to see the economy

crash this year a sitting

president do do you think Trump wants to

see the economy crash this

year no but it would be good for her his

reelection do do you think that's an

accurate statement of what Trump's inner

thoughts are oh I like to see America go

down the drain so I could get elected I

doubt it I doubt

it

um and and then he then he led us in

prayer and he said uh as they say in my

faith this is Biden as they say in my

faith bless me Father for I mean come on

man

now if you don't mind I'm I'm not really

a religious person but I do feel

inspired today to lead you in

prayer if you don't mind could you just

bow your head I'd like to Lead You In

abide in prayer everybody pray with

me as they say in my faith bless me

father I mean come on

man

amen Amen to that come on

man so Biden's brain is working just

great meanwhile CNN is dying over in the

Philippines they closed their operation

CNN did um I don't know if it's the

beginning of their Global media

destruction but uh I feel like a lot of

the stories about things I don't like

are dying Biden's dying CNN's

dying Dei is dying CRT is dying ESG is

dying

China's dying so I'm having a good year

all the things I don't like are

dying speaking of mayorcas Alejandro

mayoras um let me ask you this what's up

with him why is it that we have a person

whose job it is to guard the country

who's doing literally the

opposite and we don't know

why does that bother you at

all um May

orcus I'm pretty sure you could figure

out a way to close that border even

though you're not the president you

could probably work with it probably

figure that out but he seems

aggressively

uninterested in fixing the

Border in a in a way that's surprising

what would be your assumption about

somebody whose job performance is the

opposite of what his job would require

and you don't quite know

why what how would you explain it I

explain it by outside s outside

influence meaning that he's not his own

man could be just that he's you know

bowing to the Democrats and he has to

say dumb things to make them happy

but don't you assume that there's

something sinister behind

him it just feels like there's something

there um that's that's really the only

thing I have to say about it but I have

the same feeling about

Soros how do you explain all the things

that Soros does because they seem to be

100% designed to be bad for the country

and it's all different things if he did

one thing I didn't

like then I'd say oh he and I have a

different opinion about what's good for

the country but if you do a whole range

of funding and every single one seems

clearly bad for the country what are you

going to conclude about that well you

could conclude that uh the Soros family

is evil and that's why other people

conclude I don't believe that that

because it'd be too weird that the

father and the son you know shared this

evil and the whole organization shared

it and it would be too weird I don't

believe that I believe that it's more

likely that the people who act opposite

of what seems like a person should act

are probably blackmailed or bribed or or

in some other way beholden to somebody

or they're under duress in some way so I

think that the soros's are not the top

of their pile I think that somebody has

blackmail on the Soros

family uh I don't I can't think of any

other way to explain

observation so that doesn't mean it's

true I don't have any like facts I don't

have any you know evidence but if

somebody acts exactly like they're under

duress what are you going to assume if

it's just once you'd say well I guess I

I'm just confused but if it's all all

day long every day for

years I'm going to assume that there's

somebody who wants to destroy the

country who's pushing them in ways we

don't

understand here's some more stupid fake

news about the Russ about uh Russia so

somebody named uh David

from and remember I keep telling you you

have to know the players it doesn't help

you to know what happened it only helps

you to know who was behind it that's

that's the news so David from is someone

that if you didn't know would be one of

the least credible people on the whole

planet I don't need to go into the

details but in the history of politics

you would be you'd have to look pretty

hard to find somebody with lower

credibility all right he's part of the

propaganda part of the world and he

writes in the

Atlantic do you know the Atlantic if you

said to yourself what happened oh

there's a major publication with a story

you wouldn't know anything if you knew

the Atlantic is basically just a

Democrat tool for uh insulting

Republicans it's not anything like a

publication it's just a political tool

at this point so if you knew that from

is the least credible person in the

world and the Atlantic is the least

credible publication then does that make

this story sound more uh

understandable that uh from is writing

that As Trump has neared renominate

ation uh his party especially in the

House of Representatives has surrendered

to his protin pressure oh big surprise

the two least credible entities David

from and the Atlantic are writing that

Trump is is pro Putin uh during an

election

year now imagine if you didn't follow

the news and you didn't know the players

you didn't know that the Atlantic is not

to be trusted and he didn't know that

David from is a

propagandist you would read this and you

think oh this is kind of scary this a

little Putin but if you know the players

it's just sort of funny because it's

it's just so right in your face how fake

it is so when I read it I just laughed

really the Atlantic David from now

here's my favorite mystery Reed

Hoffman so we know that Reed Hoffman or

reportedly you maybe you shouldn't trust

any news but edly Reed Hoffman is the

person who funded the arene Caroll suit

do you think he did that because he

really wants women to be heard and he

cares about me too and it's Justice and

he's helping this this

victim does it feel like that's probably

what's driving

him I know there are a lot of victims

out there it's funny you picked this one

so that seems a little uh just purely

political some way to hurt

Trump

then

also uh Reed Hoffman was uh big F big

funer of Nikki Haley which is weird

because he's a Democrat and why would

you fund a republican who even the

Republicans have some trouble with none

of that makes sense does it so if you

were if you were one of the PayPal

Geniuses literally a billionaire

literally a

genius and through three out of four of

the ones you can name who are in PayPal

are clearly on the same side of things

which I wouldn't call Republican I don't

think that's what's going on I I don't

think that I don't think that musk or

sax or teal are pro- Republican that's

just not the way I take them I take them

as Pro Mak sense make sense of it make

sense of the border right is that a

republican thing or is that just

everybody looking at it go can you make

some sense of this can you close that

thing all right that's not a republican

opinion the fact that we imagine it is

is just crazy that's just a logical

opinion so why would it that Reed

Hoffman who's as smart as them as well

informed as them would be so on the

opposite

side and I'm going to I'm going to say

that whenever you see a mystery like

this it's probably outside influence

so I don't know on nature but it looks

like blackmail so I would I assume that

all the the billionaires who are doing

things that we don't understand are just

blackmail now I don't have proof of that

but as a working assumption almost

everything in our government seems

blackmail related like everybody has

some kind of influence or pressure or

bribery or know something and I feel

like our whole that we live in a black

mail Ury we know that Epstein was a big

old blackmailer we know that Reed

Hoffman once went to the island there's

no evidence um no no claim whatsoever

they did anything you know

improper because there were a lot of

people went to the island they didn't

all do anything

improper so and then and also I'm not

sure I believe he necessarily went there

all the stuff about who was on the EP

list I don't know that that's true so if

you see a name on a list whether read

off don't assume it's true and don't

assume

that they there was somebody who had a

common interest and they all that's not

unusual that people to get together if

they have a common

interest but given that we know Epstein

was a major blackmail operation and then

we see people who are acting in ways

that don't seem to make sense for their

own best interest or the

country um to me the most logical

assumption is some kind of influence

yeah no I don't think it's mental

illness not in their case I mean there's

a lot of TDS but I don't think Soros

says TDS I doubt Reed Hoffman has TDS

there's something else going

on what about Mark cubin he's a mystery

too another billionaire mystery so he's

he's all in on Dei and diversity but

watching him debate this in public is

getting kind of hilarious because his

argument keeps getting smaller and

smaller because he's trying to find a

way way to uh publicly support

discrimination he's trying to support

racial discrimination against white

people but make an argument for it so

here here's where he retreated all the

way to today so he was posting I guess

who was arguing with the the rabbit

account um he said hypothetically all

right you have 30 white male

employees and you want to improve you

think you can improve your uh your

profitability If instead of having 30

white male employees if you had at least

a black woman you might get more

perspective you get a diverse

perspective and that could help your

company so he says uh are you okay with

hiring the black woman or would you call

that racial discrimination let me ask

you you got 30 white male

employees and maybe not because you

discriminated it just turned out that

way so let's just use that as our

hypothetical example and then you say to

yourself you know I think I could do

better work if I had a black woman

because she'd bring some diverse um

diverse

perspective is that uh is that racial

discrimination of course it is by

definition that's exactly what it is but

the question is should it be okay should

that very narrowly specific thing where

you don't have diverse perspectives but

you know you could add it

why do you think you would get the

useful diverse perspective from a black

woman but not from one of the 30 guys

who's already there what none none of

the 30 guys know any black people they

don't have any any insight whatsoever

into that world they couldn't ask

somebody no it's just it's just

discrimination would it work maybe is

that ever a reason for racial

discrimination nope

so I think the argument is if it could

make your company better and you weren't

doing it for racial

reasons would it be okay it could make

you more profitable and you're not doing

it because you're racist you're doing it

just to make yourself more profitable no

it's not okay that's just

racism just racism we don't do that so

why would Mark Cuban be in favor of

something that is uh

so hard to

defend um my guess is that he runs

businesses that have a lot of diversity

in them and that's the end of the story

if if you were the leader of a bunch of

companies that really really valued

diversity and you had a lot of

diversity then I would say yeah as the

leader you probably want

to um take into account that the people

you lead have this opinion and

supporting them actually makes sense

from a business perspective

U from other perspectives you could be

mad at it but it makes perfect sense

that if you're a leader of a bunch of

diverse people who like diversity you

should be Pro diversity I think I would

be too if you put me in the same

situation I probably say what he says

because there would be a lot of uh I

think there' just be a lot of pressure

to support the people that you you work

with that but let me uh let me try uh

mark

um let's try let's try Mark's example

was very narrow so let's say you had a

basketball team that had only black

players on it and you said to yourself

if we added a white player we might get

some white um perspective because

because what if the basketball players

are bringing a black perspective to the

game and I I'm blind to it because I'm

white so you know don't see it but

shouldn't I add a white basketball

player who's maybe not as strong as the

rest to get that extra

perspective I I don't need to answer the

question I'm pretty sure a basketball

team is just picking the best Shooters

and

blockers

anyway Putin's going to run again uh

looks like uh he's running for

re-election so the Russia Election

Commission has formally registered him

for March election you know what I don't

like to go out on a limb and make

predictions about politics because you

know a lot could happen but Putin

running for reelection in

Russia I'm gonna say I like his

chances I'm gonna say I like his

chances I don't know I'm just going to

put myself out there take a risk

sometimes you got to take a risk I like

his

chances uh Nancy Pelosi uh is suggesting

that we should look into the pro

Palestinian protest because they have a

con connetion to can you guess anybody

want to take a guess Nancy Peli the pro

Palestinian protesters they might be

influenced by somebody from the an side

who could be could be could it be Putin

yes that is what she's suggesting is

there

evidence

no but it's an election year so I'm sure

we're going to blame Putin for

everything all right um here's some fake

news about Trump

surprise so you've heard the story that

and even the GOP lawmakers are believing

the story that uh Trump is telling

people even his Republican friends that

uh he doesn't want a border deal because

he'd rather run on the

issue does that sound true to you does

it sound true that Trump Trump doesn't

want to solve the Border issue uh with a

bill he doesn't Sol he doesn't want to

solve it with the legislation that's

being proposed but uh he wants to run on

it

instead all right so here's what they

told us they said uh Trump doesn't want

Biden have a border Bill Victory does

that sound true Trump doesn't want Biden

to have a border Bill victory yeah of

course because because Biden could run

on it now I think that's true second

part is does Trump want to run on the

issue of course well who

wouldn't it's the biggest

issue well are we surprised he wants to

run on the biggest issue in the country

no but what's missing from it have you

spotted it have you spotted the

brainwashing propaganda there's

something missing from the story so the

parts they tell us and this was in the

hill I think

that he doesn't want Biden to have a

legislative Victory on the border and

that he wants to run on the issue I

think both of those sound

true but here's what's left

out does Trump think the Border bill is

good isn't that the most important part

of the story because if Trump thinks the

Border bill is good and he still wants

to kill it so that he can win an

election well am I wouldn't support

that would you who would support that I

don't know any Republican who would

support

that but isn't the important part of the

story is the legislation being

considered making things better or worse

my understanding is it codifies uh an

untenable situation in other words it

lets in so many people legally that we'd

still have a huge problem it wouldn't

solve the problem it would reduce it a

little at best

yeah so if if if Trump is against a

terrible legislation attempt and and

given that he wouldn't want that to be

signed under any condition no matter who

his president is it fair to say that

Trump doesn't want Biden to have a

border Bill Victory and that Trump wants

to run on the issue both

true but if you leave out that the B the

Border bill is garbage it looks like

he's just being a jerk if you know that

the Border Bill makes things worse not

better then you say well of course he

wants to run on the issue of course he

doesn't want Biden to have success

passing a bad Bill like who who who

exactly is fooled by this how many of

you were fooled by this story and you

didn't realize the part left out is that

is that Trump doesn't like the

bill I'll bet a few of you I'll bet that

even got a lot of Republicans and it's

just so obviously

propaganda

well here's some fun over in Gaza um two

words you don't think you'll ever hear

together but uh so turns out that El

jazer is reporting this now if you

didn't know uh El jazer is considered

one of the most reliable news

outlets were you aware of that that you

know people who pay attention call Al

jaero one of the most reliable but with

the exception of Israel stuff yeah if if

if El jair is reporting on

Israel you know that that's not

necessarily where they're going to be

objective but on other stuff if has

nothing to do with Israel they're

they're actually considered a good news

source by a lot of people I I'm not

agreeing with that I'm just telling you

that Syria people think it's a good news

source except about the Middle

East um but they're reporting that uh

several members of the Israeli

government are on the same side as far

right uh people who want to resettle

Gaza and make it basically an Israeli

settlement just never give it back to

the

Palestinians are you

surprised are you

surprised yeah I I don't see how this

wouldn't happen it seems like terrible

timing if I were these right-wing people

I'm not sure I would be doing this in

public during the middle of a hot war

that feels like a bad idea so I'm a

little suspicious how much of this is

true news given the

source um but I wouldn't be surprised if

people are pushing to keep

Gaza an Israeli Outpost or settlement I

guess in the long run I think that's

what's going to

happen all right uh here's a civil war

update on Texas firsts versus the rest

of the country uh I

predicted that I told you that men are

always fighting Wars in their head so

even if nobody's punching or shooting

we're always at War sort of a continuous

state of what if this could I beat this

person you know what if somebody comes

in here with a gun what do I do we're

always thinking you know how to defend

ourselves it's just

natural

so I

predicted that the uh The Men Who were

going to protect the Texas border would

Prevail over Biden and that Biden

couldn't overrule them it would just be

too politically

dangerous and that the Texans have

decided that they're going to close the

border which is different from wanting

it closed and differing different from

complaining and different from proposing

a way to close it those are all

wants Texas apparently has decided and

once you've decided then you will do

whatever it

takes and if the Biden Administration

wants to stop Texas they're going to

have to use

violence at this point and I don't see

any way that that makes sense in an

election year especially so I to me it

was obvious that Texas would win this

battle in The Limited sense that the

government is not going to take down

their wire fence at least during the

election year so it looks like that's

where it's headed can't be sure yet but

I think the the wires going to stay up

uh however in uh rasmuson reports says

69% of likely us voters support Texas

are wreting their own

barriers now slightly less 55% agree

with the quote

um that uh that clay igin said the feds

are staging a Civil War and Texas should

stand their ground 55% of the likely

voters say Texas should stand its

ground basically even if it's

violent imagine being the president

trying to solve this problem and 55% of

the electorate says if it comes to

violence they don't say that directly

but that's how I that's how I interpret

it that if it comes to violence they're

going to back the state over the federal

government and if I haven't said it

directly I'll say it right now if it

comes to violence I'm going to back

Texas over the federal government I

don't want to be any ambiguity about

that Texas over the federal government

On the Border issue now I'm not looking

for Texas to secede from the union

that's not my first

choice but if the bullets start flying

I'm on Texas's side period because

they're in the right that's just the way

it has to

be um and with that understanding I

believe that the uh at least the men in

the administration are going to assess

the situation exactly as I just did and

they're going to say we could use our

bullets and we could start locking

people up like the governor but if we do

it's going to get really wet and it's

not going to be good for us so I think

that's I think Texas is heading for

something like a you know a temporary

Victory on the border now of course that

will just push people to other border

openings so it won't do much for uh the

overall immigration except it will

create a model where other states could

emulate it Tex obviously California

won't so as long as California is open

you know everybody can get in if they

want

to all right so the other thing is

there's this uh I haven't heard too much

about it but the trucker protest

apparently there's going to be an

American version of the Canadian

truckers but maybe some of the Canadian

truckers are helping and I don't know

how big it is or how organized it is or

who organized it but I'm a little bit

suspicious about it because it feels a

little bit like a

trap I I'm worried that the truckers are

just putting a Target on their backs

like the January 6 people did and that

what the Democrats really want is some

violence from some right leaning people

that that would be their orgasmic

Perfect Situation oh can we get some

going from people who like Trump so I

would worry that the trucker thing is

not as organic and Grassroots as it

looks there might be something behind it

that's a malign influence so I'd be

concerned about that um and under

today's

environment uh I don't think I would

protest anything unless you were you

were

down to win at all

costs and usually Pro protests are not a

win at all costs because all costs

includes you know all costs generally

our protests are about talking and we

want a political solution so in our

current environment protesting for a

political solution is just painting a

Target on your back because we don't

have free speech the way we used to now

you got a

jail we've got jails that got quite a

few political protesters in it called

the January 6 people now of course if

you're a Dem R and you're a

idiot and you wandered into this live

stream you're saying but but Scott but

but they committed some

crimes I'm sorry they did this to you I

really am I'm

genuinely I look at the Democrats as

victims to be so

brainwashed into thinking that you know

either all the people in jail committed

an actual crime how can you think that

of course there were some crimes and

those people will deal with the justice

system as they should but no the January

6 jailings are not legitimate they're

political purely political yeah and and

we do have a potential solution to it

and and I I've said this before but I'll

say it

again I would support Trump if every one

of his policies were wrong but he

supported uh pardons for the jailed

people including you know Peter Navaro

if he just said that I'd say okay the

first thing we have to fix is free

speech so fix that get get the free

speech protesters out in jail and I'd

say Navaro too I don't think he's

legitimately charged now when I say

legitimate I don't mean that there isn't

some technical violation I just mean it

wouldn't be it wouldn't be addressed the

same way yeah they're more like hostages

you're

right so I probably would have supported

which whoever was a republican candidate

l or Trump or whoever it was who would

just pardon them because you got to fix

Free Speech first that's first if you

don't get that everything else is

unfixable so yeah policies are a bonus

if you like Trump's policies I'm not

even sure I'll ever argue

them I mean immigration's obvious so

I'll argue that one but I don't know

what to do in Ukraine not really I don't

know what to do anywhere else not really

I'm not sure anybody does but if we can

get that one thing just the one thing we

have to reverse the January 6

hoax because the January 6 hoax is maybe

the worst thing that I've ever seen

happen to the

country um you know violence of course

always looks worse but in the uh in

terms of the

Republic um I think even McCarthyism

maybe wasn't as bad as January 6 not the

attack the hoax of it the the attack was

you know had some violence and that's

bad but what was worse was that it was

treated as an Insurrection when it

clearly was a protest to protect the

country not overthrow

it uh somebody somebody says you looked

at Al jazer in the first article was

about climate change in Sierra

Leon all

right uh razor wire can be easily mended

with bailing wire is that true

maybe it is you could fix it with razor

wire
