Episode 2380 CWSA 02/10/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams you've never had a better time and if you'd like to take it up a level that nobody can even understand with their tiny human brains all you need is a cup or mug or glass a tager tankered chalice or Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go oh God that's good so so good well if you're not uh subscribed to the Dilbert comic either on X you can subscribe to it there or on the locals um locals Scott adams.

locals.com where you can see lots of other stuff my other Comics like robots read nudes Etc but you missed uh yesterday's dilber comic was uh Wall-E was trying to expense uh his expenses when he traveled to Leonia for the AI brothel so w tries to expense an AI brothel uh only to be challenged by the boss and when uh Wally complains that his his choice of uh his sexual preferences are being uh criticize the boss says no I just wanted to let you know that there's no such thing as a AI brothel in h elbonia and while he says that would explain the excess body hair so if you if you're not subscribing to Dilbert you're missing a lot so much just so much let's talk about the news apparently around Chernobyl which uh I guess was 38 years ago was a disaster at Chernobyl some of the wolves have evolved into mutant wolves who who are resistant to cancer at least cancer that comes from radiation so you didn't see that coming did you that's right super radioactive wolves could be our future might be the only thing that that survives a nuclear war but it does raise the question what other powers do these wolves have for example can they fly in a way that defies physics because if they can that would explain a lot about the UFOs it could be just flying Chernobyl wolves mutant wolves I mean you can't rule it out is what I'm saying um or possibly they um if they start building pyramids that could be another another hint about our history but keep an eye on the mutant Chernobyl wolves could be a lot more uh interesting things possibly possibly a superhero now here's here's the question we know now that from the uh totally reliable press in this country that Joe Biden's age is not a defect have you heard it is to quote them a superpower it's a superpower so it makes you wonder if Joe Biden were to have a fight with a Chernobyl Mutan wolf that could survive radioactivity who would win would Joe win with his superpower of being super old or would the wolf win with his mutant Powers I don't know I'd like to see it anyway you can't say you wouldn't like to see it all right uh payer pay-per-view here's some science for you do you believe science everybody science is reliable so let me tell you some science uh over in China they did a study a single bind single bind study with 342 participants and it found that doing taiichi the traditional Chinese practice they goes something like this if you're only listening on a podcast you're missing all the good visual humor but uh apparently the taii uh can definitely help your hypertension so they compared it to regular exercise and they found out that the traditional taichi and will lower your blood pressure now let us examine the credibility of the science number one the science comes out of China number two it involves a traditional Chinese practice so it comes from China and they're trying to find out if a traditional Chinese practice is good for you oh surprise surprise the Chinese study that's a single bind which is not a double blind single blind so it's not as good as a double blind and only had 342 participants surprisingly supported the national interests of China huh huh yeah not single single blind not bind so is this credible science no now it doesn't mean taiichi doesn't lower your blood pressure maybe it does but should you believe it if it's a study of 342 people in China about a traditional Chinese practice I don't know I've Got a Feeling if they studied traditional Chinese acupuncture they might have gotten a similar result if you know what I mean all right you know it's a really good idea to do your own research uh let me show you what happens when you do your own research here Dr uh Eli David is showing us um on the xplatform he's posting about uh CH there's a graphic showing that China is admitting more carbon then the entire developed world combined so if you did your own research and you tried to find out who's the worst pooter you'd find out it was China so that tells you something useful right because you did your own research yeah uh now let's do it on a per capita basis uh China's got 1.43 billion people United States has 342 million that means the US is rough roughly 24% of their population and yet the US is emitting something like 40% of their CO2 huh when you look at it that way it's the reverse if you look at it on a perers basis the US is much worse so what is the what's the point is China worse than the us or is the US worse than China which which way is the fair way to say it well some say China is a country and the US is a country so you just compare them they're doing they're doing worse things to the world than we are so they're bigger big deal they're doing worse things to the world that is correct they are but you don't think it matters that they have more people don't we naturally expect that the more people there are the more CO2 if you live in any kind of a modernizing society so if you did your own research and stopped at the raw number did you do a good job of doing your own research or do you think it really matters the per person because if you try to figure out who's the good people I would say it's the people who have the smallest per person CO2 that's how I'd see it so so why would you see it the other way could you see it the other way you could you could see it the other way so that's my point um doing your own research will more often mislead you than illuminate you and you don't know the difference sometimes doing your own research gets you exactly the right answer might even save your life the trouble is you don't know when that's happening and when you're just being misled but you're pretty sure you're right this time um I see in the comments that you want me to note that CO2 uh can feed plants um such as Joe Biden and vegetables I get it I see your joke I will steal your joke all right there's a Kentucky state senator who wants a constitutional amendment to ban non non-citizens from voting can you believe this is even a question that that we seriously talking about not just letting ah let few of those non-citizens vote I mean it's just going to get lost in the noise anyway but we have massive immigration and we're going to let looks like there's a movement in some states to let them vote now how is that even in the conversation well how about we do a little bit of uh um Embrace and amplify so the Democrats are telling us that that our system would be better off if the illegal uh migrants vote what do you think do you think our system would be better off if noncitizens who enter the United States illegally vote but suppose we suppose we take that and amplify it what what if we embrace it for a moment and say you know what not only are you right about that but you're so right we should do more of it here's a little mental mental experiment for you and this is going to really this is going to break your brain suppose we let everybody vote in the whole world literally everybody you're a Chinese citizen you want to vote in the next American election you can and we'll count it you're in Lithuania absolutely you can vote we'll send you an electronic uh you know ballot uh anywhere in South America absolutely you vote now here's my question which would be the better result if Americans including you know with our all of our division naturally and then you throw in the the migrants and we're going to get this real Insider who wants power which group is you know funding the bad guys the best uh who does the military-industrial complex want who's counting our votes you know all that stuff now compare that to the world that that would include our ad adversaries our adversaries literally our adversaries let them vote in our election along with our allies what would happen well I think you might be surprised because even our adversaries don't want us to fail if America went down everything would be screwed for a long time they don't want you know our adversaries don't want us to attack them I get that our adversaries don't want us to you know take take their resources and stuff like that that makes sense but I don't think they want us to fail I think what they want is us to be a legitimate player on the world stage to do the thing that America does you know invent new technologies and create medicines that aren't always a scam that sort of thing you know get to space you know create some Elon musks now and then you know they like that stuff I I propose to you that I don't this is not a serious uh suggestion by the way but if we let every other country vote for America's president that we would vastly improve our choices just look at it look look at what we're look at the two choices we gave ourselves with our current system do you think the rest of the world would have put up with that do you think that Biden would actually be in the race if the rest of the world got to choose our president no no it's possible that none of the people were in the race would be in it they'd probably pick somebody who was just a good you know a good operator who wasn't too political who just did stuff that made sense yeah yeah they'd probably vote for some well Elon can't run but they they probably vote for well I don't know about aake he's you know he's certainly is aligned with one political party but they probably picked somebody who wasn't too political who just knew how to get stuff done so we'd stay yeah maybe Rond to santis that's not that's not too far somebody in the middle midd anyway our current system is so broken that letting the rest of the world vote I believe in all seriousness it's not a serious suggestion but as a mental exercise I think the world would vote us a better president because look what we're doing I mean really look what we're doing there's no way it would be worse all right I'm going to take a minor partial Victory lap um you might know the ACT actor and activist Michael rapor is he's been making some news he was on the Tim pool show was talking about him and others he was on uh oh I can't why can't I remember his initials dbe pbd pbd I I'll never be able to remember his initials I don't know why oh it's because the p and the B and the D oh I got it I'm dyslexic look at the letters the lowercase letter p b and d lowercase they're all the same letter PB and D are all the same letter they're just upside down and backwards you see that I just realized why I could never get his name yeah if I remembered his full name it'd be easier no but PB and D in lower case are all the same letter I actually can't see it they all they all just jump around when I look at them I never realized that before but that's I think that's the problem well that in the fact that my brain is corroding faster than Biden's anyway mapor is coming out and saying that he was initially fooled by the fine people hoax and he actually believed that Trump had said those neo-nazis were fine people and now he's going public and saying he knows that that was taking context and when you see the full quote it's obvious he said the opposite of that and here's what's amazing about it the fine people hoax in my opinion was the second biggest political hoax of my time the second biggest the Russian collusion was bigger but it was the second biggest political hoax and it is now being treated at least on the right-leaning side of the world is being treated as simply a a fact that it was a hoax when when you watch the Tim pool show there's nobody on the other side saying oh but but but he did say it we're actually past that there's nobody arguing he actually said it unless you just unless you have actually just batshit crazy Democrats so I'd like to give now I do think that this hoax is an evergreen if you wait two years it'll just revive itself and somebody will believe it happened again but at the moment it's beaten down by than I've seen it beaten down so big shout out to Steve Cortez who's been working against that hoax for years now and Joel Pollock also and breit Bart especially in tweeting um and posting and and then um I of course have been a maniac about it so I would say that the three Horsemen of the debunking of that hoax we may have made a may have made a difference by the way let me ask you do you you think that do you think it would be commonly understood that it was a hoax even on the right do you think it would be commonly understood without debate if the three of us had not been pushing on it for seven years I think it made a difference yeah like I I never know what makes a difference but seven years of just maniacally pushing back on that thing at least speaking for myself uh I think it made some difference but only on the right on the people on the left don't get real news so they have no idea all right so uh no surprise here but the Democrats are pulling out some law fair against RFK Jr and it looks like they're accusing him of illegal activities I don't know something about a Super PAC it's probably and now they've opened a federal investigation to remove him from the ballot come on how do the Democrats not see what's happening now how how can you not see what's going on they don't get the news if they saw the same news we do maybe they'd see the same thing but uh yeah that's disgusting um and you know what's funny about it is that and I'll give RFK Jr some credit if you look at RFK Jr's character and his life of work now that doesn't mean everything he's ever said about vaccinations is true because I doubt it you know very it's very unusual everybody would be true about you know that domain um but I swear I never I never really suspect him of intentionally lying I just don't see it I mean he's been talking about a lot of things for a long time and I'm looking for the lies now there might be things he's Inc wed about not not going to argue that at all but um if you compare the Biden Administration to RFK Jr.

I don't even need to look at the details of this story do you have is everybody having the same impression I'm just going to take his word for it that it's illegitimate because I think he earned that does anybody disagree I I think that uh the Democrats and Biden his credibility is so low and RFK Juniors is so high not not in terms of being technically correct about everything he's ever said but just not lying that if he says there was no crime and he says they're coming after him for political reasons I believe that and I don't even need to hear anything else because that's the difference in credibility one is very high credibility and the other is a known serial liar for 150 years so those are not really similar um Senator ran Paul um is responding to Joe Biden who said that it's quote close to criminal neglect if Congress doesn't uh send money to Ukraine close to criminal neglect if we don't fund an Ukraine Ukraine's border war and uh Rand Paul Senator ran Paul reminds us I would say his criminal neglect for Mitch Mc.

Connell Chuck suumer and Joe Biden to get together to send 100 billion overseas to fix someone else's border before addressing our border yeah that does seem criminal and actually Trump said something like that in his speech in Harrisburg I guess um that he thinks that the people who are not closing the border that maybe there should be some criminal liability now I don't think so I doubt there's any criminal liability and I'm not really big on looking for crimes where they're not obvious but it does seem that important it does seem like it's on that level of a gigantic crime even if it's not technically a crime if it's just people not doing their job or something so it's that important I doubt it's an actual crime uh all right are you having fun watching uh Biden's supporters trying to uh trying to explain away all of his mental problems does anybody else think it's hilarious at this point you know I always used to make fun of the old thing in politics there's always somebody saying oh the emperor has no clothes the emperor has no clothes and I always go g GH it's like soil and green it's like it's like the obvious thing everybody says in every situation the emperor has no clothes but I've never seen it fit so well yeah you you've got obviously a bumbling who's clearly mentally you know disintegrated and they're they're trying to sell us on the fact that he's all there this is the first time I've seen an exact perfect example of The Emperor's New Clothes because I always thought well if you had an EMP who literally wore no clothes there's no way that you wouldn't mention it like it's not realistic but we actually have a situation where everybody can see he's mentally degraded and his supporters are looking you right in the eyes and saying no he's not no no he's wearing all of his clothes and he's not mentally degraded now do you see me doing the Democrat lying strategy there there are three things to look for you look for the eyes get wide you look for the chin goes up a little bit and you look for the smile that doesn't match the faith do you want to see it again I give you uh kamla Harris defending Joe Biden I'm going to play it with the sound off I want you to see if you can spot the point where she tells the lie and the LIE is that Joe Biden is fine there's nothing problem right so watch your face until the moment she gets to the LIE look for the eyes widen chin goes up and the smile that doesn't match the face watch for it I want you to I Want You To indicate when you see the LIE there's no sound let's see see if I can get it so you can both see it at the same time watch for the eyes to get big in a minute hope I didn't miss it did I miss it yet oh I think I missed it let's do it again all right eyes normal head normal eyes and face match there it is there it is did you catch it see if I can fast forward it it's hard to catch the moment but did you catch it you play back yourself and catch it yeah but it's funny once you see it it's so obvious it just jumps right out um so here are the defenses that are the people are giving one is that Trump confuses names too Trump confuses names too and then they show some video of him now is that fair is that fair to say Trump confuses his names too I think it is yeah I think it's fair because in my opinion the the Biden when Biden confuses names in his case it probably is because of dementia but it's also true that people confuse names routinely it's a very normal thing to do all right now in fact this is a sort of a confession of mine I've always fantasized like what would it be like to be president and I thought I wonder could I ever be a president and I realized that I probably couldn't because of all the names of foreign leaders I would get wrong I mean I I have a real problem with it let let me give you an example if uh I were being being visited by L say the leader of Afghanistan I'm not sure I would know that hibatul akanda um I wouldn't know him from Bin's shik hammad bin assal Khalifa I mean I I saw I wouldn't even know the difference at all um so yeah yeah I'd be all which one is that is that hiah or is that uh is alai I can't even tell them apart you know so that's one of the reasons I can't be president because I can't tell all the leaders apart uh I used to think but apparently not being able to tell the leaders apart will not hurt you for being president so we got a Biden we got a trump barely that's not now the other thing that I thought would prevent me from someday being president is all of my uh grabbing but now I have evidence to suggest that I could grab a bunch of confuse the names of uh hibatullah akand and alifa and I still be able to be a president and that's I find that motivating so here are some other things that people are saying to defend Biden um stenhammer was funny he posted today show show me a video a recent video of Joe Biden stuttering because they're saying don't make fun of him for his stuttering I mean but do we have any video of him let's say from 10 years ago when he was perfectly fine was he stuttering 10 years ago I don't remember it I have no no memory of him ever stuttering 10 years ago but now suddenly he stutters like he did when he was a kid huh and then Rachel M points out that he rides a bike yeah she she uh says he rides a bike now are we at the point where there's literally no difference between reality and parody If I had told you that a comedian had told you that uh Joe Biden is perfectly fine because hey look at how he rides a bike wouldn't you think that that real comedian said that as a joke but that's actually what Rachel M said in the real world in the actual real world outside of humor she said that he's probably fine because he can ride a bike apparently he can ride it right into the ground she didn't say she didn't say where he rides it to he rides it right to the ground but at least he's riding it and then there's the argument that K makes that uh um Joe Biden is is actually totally mentally capable which certainly raises an interesting question doesn't it which others have raised wait a minute if the reason he's not being prosecuted seems to be largely around his mental incapacity if you're arguing that he does have good mental capacity aren't you also arguing he should be in jail now you're going to say to me wait a minute wait a minute um you're going to say there's a complete difference between uh what Trump did and what Biden did because Biden um simply said that he was couldn't remember and he's incapable and he didn't didn't willfully do anything with those documents but they believe that Trump is mentally capable and he also resisted giving those documents back so therefore it's his resistance that's the real crime are you hearing the the Democrats say that well here's the funny part do you know what what they could say that would be terribly persuasive but they can't form sentences and get the sound of their mouth like literally they can't say it but it would be so persuasive if they if they could here's what they can't say because of TDS yes if Trump had not resisted we think that he should not be charged with anything regarding the possession of the documents now if they said that I would say oh well that's very consistent yeah Biden wasn't charged because because not just because he's mentally incapable but because he didn't resist when they asked him back and he accept the process which apparently is not that unusual to have a process to get back documents from an official whereas uh whereas Trump he resisted but here's the better way to say it if you really wanted to persuade me you'd say you know what if you're a Democrat you'd say um yes Biden did not get charged because he obeyed the system we also believe that if Trump had obeyed the system the same way we also think he should not be charged the same way do you know why they can't say that TDS it would be perfectly persuasive if you said that to me I'd say you know what that's actually a solid argument that one resisted and one didn't so maybe it is the resistance that's the problem but they've got to say it directly if Trump had not resisted he should also not be charged charged for having the documents but you know why they can't say that the reason they can't say that is it would give imaginary mental cover to Trump imaginary because in the real world he did resist everybody agrees he resisted so they can't even they can't even do a hypothetical mental experiment which allowed Trump to go free in their mind and I mean this I mean they can't say the the persuasive thing because in doing so they would have to imagine Trump innocent of something and they actually can't go there literally can't go there because their brains won't allow it so instead they're they're closed off from their best argument for Biden which is you know what if Trump had given all the documents back I don't think the possession of the documents should have been charged and you remember they made such a big deal about the contents of uh Trump's documents do you remember that it was all about the contents and that they they must have the nuclear secrets in there and then when Biden's documents were discovered do you recall anybody characterizing the contents I don't recall that ever being done so we suddenly don't care about the contents after mons and months of the Democrats saying the contents are probably well we don't know but I'm just speculating that it's Iranian nuclear secrets the dumbest speculation you could ever have like I don't think do do you think that a staffer or even Trump himself packed up some sensitive nuclear secrets and just took them with them I mean I suppose anything's possible but that seems unlikely to me it seems that both Biden and Trump probably had documents that were technically you know inappropriate to take home but maybe not that dangerous like in the in the final analysis probably not too dangerous so suddenly we just stopped talking about the contents we just stop talking about it and that's why it's embarrassing if you're a Democrat if you made a big deal about the contents being the important part now you you lost that argument so is Biden fit to stand trial in which case he should or is he unfit um let's talk about Tucker and Putin remember you you mostly disagreed with me when I said that Putin's uh history lesson about why Russia thinks it should have some um control over parts of Ukraine or all of it um I said that he looked unhinged and it didn't look very capable to me because the history lesson is not persuasive to Americans I'm going to revise that all right I'm going to completely reverse it actually but not for the reason you think I still say that the history lesson had no value to Americans in other words the details of his history lesson had zero persuasive effect on any American probably any European but I'm not going to say it had no value and I'm going to I'm going to fool you here because you don't see this coming just wait for it but I saw that Tucker also um regarded the history lesson as incoherent he actually used that word so Tucker agreed with me that the History part just didn't seem connected really to the answer in in a tight enough way that it looked like he was coherent now uh but wait for the end I'm I'm going to support Putin's play you know so don't criticize me yet I'm going to support Putin's play on the history lesson but not for the reason you think right different reason um so and then I saw some people think that uh Putin was personally hurt by being rebuffed by the West you know every time you wanted to be friends I don't know if any of that's true we can't read his mind so I wouldn't there but maybe maybe he's personally hurt I don't know if that affected anything um but here here's uh my defense of Putin it took me a while to figure this out because the thing I was having trouble reconciling is that Putin is so capable and would know so much about persuasion especially have you know given his background that to do something that is so wrong persuasion wise it made me question is sanity until I re realized what the real play was and now I don't question the sanity it was a really good play you don't realize why but I'm going to tell you um those of you who are my longtime listeners uh can confirm that this is something I've talked about before and actually in some detail and I've said I've used the technique myself let's say you're negotiating with somebody and it's just a business negotiation and uh you want a good price and they want to get a good price and it's just business if it's just business you almost know before you start where it's going to end up don't you like even before you start you're going to ask for something too much I'm going to say too little we're going to meet in the middle and in the end it's going going to look like similar business deals because everybody in business knows that if you started with a first offer that was so far out of the normal business realm nobody would even negotiate with you so you start by saying what do we assume is possible and then you're within that realm and you can always you know get to a get to a Meeting of Minds if it's just Financial you can almost always make it work now what would be an argument in which that doesn't work where you're just both being rational you're both being within the rational domain it's when something's irrational this is an actual persuasion negotiating technique which I have used it goes like this if you can convince the other side that your reasoning is irrational at least in in any individual point of it not the whole thing if you're just totally irrational they won't deal with you but if you could say I'm rational about everything but honestly I'm going to point out this one thing and I'm going to tell you as directly as I can I'm not going to be rational about this and here's why if you could make that case you almost win the negotiation from that point on you have to sell your own irrationality that sounds backwards doesn't it that if you're negotiating with somebody you have to convince them that you are irrational doesn't that sound crazy nope it's what Trump does all the time do you think that when uh when Trump said I might nuke ma Moscow do you think that sounded rational nope it didn't sound rational so Putin couldn't be sure that that was something he could negotiate because it wasn't based on something rational who the hell would nuke Moscow it would literally be crazy so how do you even deal with that what do you do with that well the first thing you do is you say all right I can't deal with crazy so I'm going to have to work with whatever I can work with but I know I can't change crazy and then Trump won because you can't deal with crazy you can't negotiate with an irrational component doesn't mean the person is rational in general but there might be an irrational component let me give you an example for my real life when my syndication contract which was originally a 15-year deal expired I thought to myself hey I'm a free agent I'll go negotiate a better deal than I ever had because I can negotiate with other syndication companies the syndicator is who sells it to newspapers and you split the money so I thought I would do that but then my syndicate company reminded me hey there was a clause in your original contract that says even at the end of it if you go work with somebody else we still get a portion of your money and I said what yeah after 15 years your new work we would still get paid for even if we have nothing to do with with you if you've gone to another company it says that right in your contract and I said it couldn't possibly say that there's no way I would have signed that contract and they looked at the contract it was there just like they said and I don't know why did I forget it like I actually don't know why I didn't know it was there so here's what I could do I could either take a big loss and go with the same company that I went with for 15 years which I which had been a really good relationship uh but I would leave a lot of money on the table if I couldn't go to the free market and negotiate my actual value so you know how I negotiated out of that Clause irrationally intentionally irrationally I looked the head of the Syndicate in the eyes over lunch and I said basically in these words your contract is very clear I will quit the business before I'll sign it now I was at the height of my powers and quitting at that point would have been absolutely stupid and I looked them in the eyes and I said this is so up that I'll quit the business before I will agree with this now if he believed I would not quit the business which would have been the more rational thing to do obviously because all I had to do is sign up with them again and they would just start throwing money at me like they did before and everything would be fine so the most rational thing to do was say oh damn I made a mistake I never should have signed it but I did and my life would go on i' still make a lot of money they'd be happy Etc that would have been the rational thing to do so to get out of that I went fully irrational and I had to sell that I would myself up and down backwards and forwards I would kill my family I would break a law but I wasn't going to sign that contract in the end they were convinced that there was nothing they could do to get me to sign it and then I reached a very good deal and I ended up I did sign with them but not until they gave me a much better uh situation and in the end I ended up going to another Syndicate from um you know just a business combination that happened later now let's go back to Biden so you see that you see the idea right and the irrational negotiating position is actually your strongest one so long as you seem to be rational in general Putin seems to be rational in general and then he gave you that long weird incoherent history lesson what was the only thing he needed you to know do you remember the dates and the names and who no NOP does he need you to remember the history no NOP does he need you to think that the history is a valid reason for whatever he's doing no he doesn't need you does he need you to believe that the history is accurate No nope doesn't need that does he need you to agree with him about the history NOP no he only needs one thing and he got it he only needed one thing to win the negotiations that are upcoming cuz he knows they're upcoming and he got it and the one thing he needed was for the West to believe that he would burn down Europe before he would give up on this and he did he sold it he sold that now he didn't say it in those words but he sure he sure sold it he sold that the the Russian heart is what has to be satisfied we can't do that we we have no tools for that we can't rebuild you a pipeline you hey we'll put your pipeline back together no that doesn't help my heart not even a little bit well we'll negotiate you know you keep this we'll keep that doesn't help my heart what are you going to do it he may have Putin success sucessfully established that there's part of the negotiations that are off they're just off the table by simply telling us we're not going to be rational about this in the way that you and I would think would be rational but in fact he's hyper rational it was kind of brilliant the the fact that he used and I'm going to say used because you know Tucker was using Putin but Putin was using Tucker as long as it's transparent I don't mind it a bit actually you know that was transparent it was right in front of us like the entire intention of it was to show you all of it how could I be mad at that transparency is the best we can do folks if you have full transparency you could wish it were better but it can't be better that's just the best you could do and that was full transparency am am I such an idiot that I think uh Putin told me the truth no no I don't think Putin told me the truth not a not even a little bit do I think that uh Tucker asked every hard question that he wanted to ask no no because he still had to survive so the uh so my take on this is that Putin won the interaction in the sense that he established an irrational point of negotiation that will help him in the future and at some point the the West will back down because he sold it so well the whole incoherent part the whole fact that he he made you listen to it first before he'd even ask that the way he handled the whole thing is all supportive of the fact that he has an irrational connection to it and that was the sale and we all bought it nicely done Putin nicely done now it is possible he's just a crazy babbling old guy talked about history that's not impossible but given that everything else he does seems to make sense it would be weird if this is the one thing that was completely you know accidental so I do believe that that the uh um his belief about history is probably you know it's real I think he's motivated by it but far more important and than his motivation is that he sold the fact that he's not going to be dealing with that like rational things very well done negotiator now let's talk about the opposite so one of the things that came out of that interview with Tucker and Putin was the claim that there was some movement toward negotiated peace that Boris Johnson killed and talked to seninsky out of it uh Boris Johnson is very angry at that interview and among the things she says are that uh that Tucker was a quote foring gooing and had a slack Jord happiness at having a scoop and Johnson says that uh Tucker betrayed his viewers around the world he said he didn't ask tough questions didn't ask Putin why even now he is using the most brutal means of Modern Warfare to m murder innocent Ukrainian civilians and then he said Carlson acted like a fan of Putin and quote boneheaded accepted Putin's mixture of semi masticated Wikipedia and outright falsehoods Johnson said and he went on he said not since George Galloway I have no idea who that is but not since George Galloway went to Baghdad and hail the in indefatigable Inda God damn you Johnson can you use words that are a little bit smaller than this I know you showing off but I don't need to take four runs at this one goddamn word indefatigability IND indefatigability in indefatigability of uh Saddam Hussein have we seen such a display of this is actually something Johnson said of bum sucking cility to a tyrant and said Carl was just the medium the sewer the hose for Putin to spread his message to America so is that good uh persuasion how did Boris Johnson do defending himself against the accusations uh did you hear the part where he said the accusations are not true he he left that part out he left out the part about the accusations are not true shouldn't that be first here here here's what I would consider a good response well you know pun's a liar and the thing he said happened literally didn't even happen that never even happened and and and uh Tucker should have been more critical about that because he's you know just F it's just fake news but instead he decided to destroy Tucker's personal credibility who does that if they can just go after the fact nobody does an ad homonym first if they can just say the thing didn't happen now if you say the thing didn't happen and then you go on and insult the person then you're just Trump right but when when Trump insults people it's usually over a thing like a policy a thing right it it's not just a whole bunch of insults and he looked a little unhinged and uh I think if you do a full-on um personal attack and you don't do more of a just a matter of fact denial of the facts behind it you can't really Fail Harder than that to me it looked like another Putin victory over the West um my my current thinking is that everything the West did in Ukraine was wrong and that you know I I'm not going to support Putin but I can just talk about my own side everything my side did looks wrong from the 2014 coup to today it all looks wrong to me so I don't have to say Putin's good or Putin's right or anything like that but when Johnson says that what Tucker should have talked about is how there's maming and murdering of ukrainians by Russia really I mean that's so transparently just trying to change the topic that it's like a almost like a confirmation of the accusation that he denied a chance to have peace I don't know if it's true but the way he's reacting to it as if is as if it's true all right uh so apparently the house Judiciary Committee is going after this uh district attorney fonnie Willis who's after Trump as you know so it's not a coincidence that they would go after her because she's after Trump but um what are they trying to get uh they're trying to figure out if she use federal funds illegally for boyfriend or whatever now I would like to suggest the following strategy does it seem to you that a lot of these Soros backed prosecutors and Das does it look like they're all corrupt that they're all using public money for their boyfriends or something so would it make sense for the Republicans to uh since they have that big legal fund that Steven Miller's doing wouldn't it make sense to Simply uh investigate every one of the Soros um da to Target them for lawfare and just take them out with lawfare because you could actually take down the whole Soros Network by targeting them one after another and just really go horribly at them now keep keep in mind under a situation of normal politics I would never suggest this I don't think you should be going looking for crimes that's the worst freaking thing you could do in America but the Soros prosecutors I consider an invasion to me that's an unfriendly Force operating domestically I it's almost like domestic terrorism so under the under the sense that it's not almost it is domestic terrorism it is domestic terrorism it is they they're operating as domestic terrorists because they're hunting Republicans and I'm I'm literally afraid of being locked up for not doing anything illegal so that's exactly terrorism making people afraid to do legal things in their world because they think this horrible person will put them in jail so this is I would put uh I would put a billion dollars behind this if I had a billion dollars to fund an absolute investigation of every Doro Soros funded candidate and anybody anybody who takes money from a Soros entity should know that their underwear is going to be turned upside down down and that the Republicans will Target them only because of the Soros connection not because they're Democrats If This Were happening just because they're Democrats absolutely no absolutely no I do not approve of just looking for crimes because somebody's a Democrat no no no no no don't do that but because they're Soros funded and they seem to be fitting a pattern of domestic terrorism in the sense of Al you misusing the legal system I think that they they are completely legitimate targets for lawfare completely legitimate and I wouldn't use lawfare in any other situation unless it was you know something that looks like literally terrorism or an attack on our on our nation so yeah law fair it up um K Harris uh was talking to some folks some uh class of Future Leaders and she said this and it is it's so brilliant it will probably be quoted much like the Martin Luther King you know I had a dream possibly like Abe Lincoln a four score 20 years ago maybe like Kennedy Cy ask you know ask not what your country can do for you but somewhere in that category is this the Brilliance of this inaugural class and its leaders is the ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been and then to make it real I don't know has anybody ever said that before yes it's the only thing she says every time she goes anywhere because if you haven't heard it before it sounds kind of awesome if you've heard it over and over again it gets less awesome every time you hear it so um I would like to suggest that the funniest thing about 2024 is watching Dei destroy the Democratic party because that's what's happening so Dei as you know would be the favoring of you know minority and women over white men primarily but also Asian Americans and in this case Dei caused the Democrats to hire KL Harris as the vice president and I don't think there's anybody listening to this who would disagree that she's a Dei hire is that is that fair because I can't imagine it was because of capability right would everybody agree that she's a Dei hire and it's obvious right now likewise just to be fair if Trump picked Tim Scott I would say that's a Dei hire even though Tim Scott's a solid senator would you agree I mean it would be sort of too on the nose I was like okay all right it's because you're black right now if if Trump picked as his vice president um V ramaswami I would not say it's because he's brown I would say we just watched him impress the country with the best communication skills and political policies I've ever seen right so it would be hard to sell that one as a some kind of a you know minority Dei thing that would be a genuine case of the I'll call it the bill Amman style of diversity or really what Mark cubin wishes it were but it isn't which is you pick the best person and whoa they're brown too then you get yourself some free diversity but if you're not getting it for free then it's a Dei hire Tim Scott's solid Tim Tim Scott is solid but you would see it as a Dei hire because he's not of aake right if a didn't exist I might feel differently he such an obvious better choice so here's what makes it funny because kamla Harris CA Harris was hired as vice president um Biden can't quit because everybody knows that she's too weak to take over for the president which was the entire point of a vice president the entire point is you have to be smart you know good enough to take over now you could argue that Pence you know wasn't as strong as Trump but you know what he could have taken over you know you could imagine him winning an election I could I could imagine it but you know I don't he's not it wouldn't be my choice for president either but you could imagine it he's like he's a serious person right um but kamla I don't even think the Democrats think she has a chance or would be the right person for president um so they've gotten themselves in a bind where they can't get rid of Biden and they also can't win with him they can't get rid of him and they can't win and it's only going to get worse because he will keep degrading between now and election day in theory uh the de Dei hire should make Biden lose bad when in fact it would be an obvious solution if she were a strong candidate right the obvious solution would be oh well kamla can take over and I'm not feeling so good and she could win this election as easily as I could go ahead obvious an obvious solution but they can't do it because they hired klin they can't fire her can't replace her with another black woman can you imagine that can you imagine CU some people say that Michelle Obama let me tell you why Michelle Obama can't happen 100% can't happen you're not going to replace a black woman with another black woman it would make it look like the whole thing was a joke you kind of looks like that now but no you're not going to do it so here's what I think is going to happen K Harris got hired as a Dei hire she's made it impossible for them to win the presidency and if you lose a presidency that hard usually has a down vote down ballot effect right am I right I mean usually that people don't say we like all the Democrats for congress but we want a Republican president at the same time you know on the same ballot they don't usually say that so it's more likely they're going to say you know what let's give the Republicans a shot or you know what let's just not vote this time um you don't have to shout at me that she's uh half black and half Indian I know it but in the real world she's considered black for political reasons but I I understand there it's the same as calling Obama black in my mind he's never been black not a single day do you agree in my mind Obama's never been black even once he he's a person who is Part White and part black and he's chosen that black is his better uh branding because you know why because claiming you're white is a disadvantage no better example right now obviously he claimed he's white nobody would believe it but he can claim he's black and people are like oh okay like where does that come from what why why can he claim he's black when you're half black like who makes those rules and by the way I don't mind like it it's perfectly fair but like where does that come from that we all just accept that that's like a normal thing to do like you you just ignore half of them why does that make sense is it because society would treat him as black which is a fair point it's a fair the same point I make with um uh with kamla I think that the non-indian public just treats her as black which is not accurate either all right um so President Biden uh one of the ways he likes to prove that he's not mentally incompetent is sending other people out to argue that he's not mentally incompetent because that's how you do it right if you want to prove that you can speak in public in a capable way you send other people to speak for you in public to say that if you were there you could actually make sense but you're not there because that's very persuasive oh yeah I guess he could just pick up his phone and point it at his face proves coherent simply by talking into his phone for 15 seconds and then posting it I mean that would do it but instead he's going to send out an army of people who are not him to say that behind closed doors he's totally lucid I don't see how that could be less persuasive but something good came from it which is his lawyer saying that uh the the special what is it the prosecutor guy her uh went beyond his remit I was listening to that in the car and I heard the lawyer say that the they think that the special prosecutor went beyond his remit you know what the first thing I said to myself was mental note keep that word for later I'm totally going to say something went beyond his remit maybe before the end of this live stream because I like it so much it sounded so smart I heard him say and I believe he wouldn't past his remit and I was like what what I'm totally using that so you can make comments here sure but don't go beyond your remit all right um yeah and the real problem is that he pointed it out not that it's true the real we're we're acting like the real problem is that the special prosecutor pointed out that Biden is mentally degraded I feel like the reality should be the only conversation here didn't he get it wrong and and and the thought that if that's what the special prosecutor really thought and believed how in the world is that not relevant that's pretty relevant I'm seeing a dad joke which I'm going to repeat that the definition of remit is when Mitt Romney runs for president yet again you're remitting yeah not bad be minus all right um Trump's talking about uh Biden's classified documents and he says if Biden's not going to be charged then I should not be charged this is nothing more than selective prosecution well now the Democrats would argue it's not about the documents it's about the resisting of the process for giving them back but is it good persuasion for Trump to ignore that fine point and just say hey it's documents we should be treated the same it is it's not honest it's not honest because if we were being honest he'd say okay A little bit of is about my you know resisting giving them back but he should also say if you're being honest we thought we had a like a legal process going you know we were in conversations you know probably could have been resolved um but it's good persuasion because the country doesn't know the difference between those two cases and no matter how many times MSNBC explains no it's not about the documents oh yes we were complaining about it was just about the documents before but now now it's not about just the documents now it's about the process nobody listens the average voter is just going to look at those two situations and say they look alike to me they both took documents one got away with it one didn't that's what it's going to look like right so yes Trump's uh Instinct on persuasion is exactly right it's exactly right it's not fully honest but it's very persuasive all right and uh Trump said about the Border bill that uh I think I mentioned this that uh the if the Senate wants to pass a real border bill they should establish criminal penalties for senior Biden officials who refuse to enforce the existing law now I have two thoughts about that I don't think you want crimes for not doing your job I feel like that's a bad precedent because everybody accuses everybody of not doing their job so if you if you make it a crime to not do your job even if you're a government official it feels like the wrong move like that's going to come back and bite your ass later uh it seems like the right move for not doing your job should be impeachment and you know getting fired and all the usual remove from job kind of things so but it's good persuasion it it puts you in the frame of understanding that what they're doing is is criminal in its um impact it's not technically illegal to not do your job but is Criminal like in its impact has a criminal outcome so yes good persuasion not totally uh technically correct all right let me finish this off by reading a summary by Uncommon Sense on that's a account on the xplatform and it's it says tyranny is here and I'll just read it the way it's written uh they want to charge Tucker Carlson with Espionage for journalism now the they is the Democrats so they want to charge tuer Carlson with Espionage for journalism then they already charged the January 6 protesters for protesting they charged Trump for being a good president and not going along with their plan they rigged the Democrat primary for Biden they're charging RFK Jr for financing issues in quotes all the bidens have been implicated in well-documented crimes and not charged that's not true um Hunters being charged for the gun stuff they want to remove the most popular candidate from the ballot and tell you why he's a threat to democracy tyranny is not in the future it is here the emperor has no close all we have to do is acknowledge it see that's that's one of those Emperor has no Clos things that gets a little overused but in this specific case I allow it now uh this tyy thing sneaks up on you doesn't it because I don't wake up in the morning say oh I'm in tyranny but when you see the full list it doesn't do look like any kind of Republic does it did I retweet it um I don't remember I may have yeah so we do look like a country which has lost its um core principles we look like a country that who our systems have uh been destroyed and were resulting to tribalism you know insults and tribalism because the system is destroyed and why is the system destroyed I think it's wokeness and Dei I think that they have destroyed the American system so that we don't have the option of using the system we only have the option of arguing like uh My Tribe has to kill everybody in your tribe so wokeness did in fact and uh I think it was Tim P was pointing out that it goes all the way back to game gamergate days and if you trace the the wokeness all the way through what it's become you know de and CRT and everything else that it is indeed it's really clear to see that as the uh complete Pro progression of tyranny so there you there you are there's a whole summary of everything and I believe that's all I needed to tell you today so I'm going to say goodbye to the uh folks on X who are watching in the rumble platform and on You.

Tube thanks for joining I'll be here tomorrow same time by the way if you watch it if you watch this show on the big screen TV with a blanket over your legs and a cat laying on the blanket on your legs it is actually the best way to watch the show so do that next time see you next see you tomorrow all

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams you've

never had a better time and if you'd

like to take it up a level that nobody

can even understand with their tiny

human brains all you need is a cup or

mug or glass a tager tankered chalice or

Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine the day

the thing that makes everything better

it's called the simultaneous Sip and it

happens now

go oh God that's

good so so

good well if you're not uh subscribed to

the Dilbert comic either on X you can

subscribe to it there or on the locals

um locals Scott adams. locals.com where

you can see lots of other stuff my other

Comics like robots read nudes Etc but

you missed uh yesterday's dilber comic

was uh Wall-E was trying to

expense uh his expenses when he traveled

to Leonia for the AI

brothel so w tries to expense an AI

brothel uh only to be challenged by the

boss

and when uh Wally complains that his his

choice of uh his sexual preferences are

being uh criticize the boss says no I

just wanted to let you know that there's

no such thing as a AI brothel in h

elbonia and while he says that would

explain the excess body hair so if you

if you're not subscribing to Dilbert

you're missing a lot so much just so

much let's talk about the news

apparently around

Chernobyl which uh I guess was 38 years

ago was a disaster at Chernobyl some of

the wolves have evolved into mutant

wolves who who are resistant to cancer

at least cancer that comes from

radiation so you didn't see that coming

did you that's right super radioactive

wolves could be our future might be the

only thing that that survives a nuclear

war

but it does raise the question what

other powers do these wolves have for

example can they fly in a way that

defies

physics because if they can that would

explain a lot about the UFOs it could be

just flying Chernobyl

wolves mutant wolves I mean you can't

rule it out is what I'm

saying um or possibly they um if they

start building pyramids that could be

another another hint about our history

but keep an eye on the mutant Chernobyl

wolves could be a lot more uh

interesting things possibly possibly a

superhero now here's here's the question

we know now that from the uh totally

reliable press in this country that Joe

Biden's age is not a defect have you

heard it is to quote them a superpower

it's a superpower so it makes you wonder

if Joe Biden were to have a fight with a

Chernobyl Mutan wolf that could survive

radioactivity who would

win would Joe win with his superpower of

being super old or would the wolf win

with his mutant Powers I don't know I'd

like to see it anyway you can't say you

wouldn't like to see

it all right uh payer

pay-per-view here's some science for you

do you believe science everybody science

is reliable so let me tell you some

science uh over in China they did a

study a single bind single bind study

with 342 participants and it found that

doing taiichi the traditional Chinese

practice they goes something like this

if you're only listening on a podcast

you're missing all the good visual humor

but uh apparently the

taii uh can definitely help your

hypertension so they compared it to

regular

exercise and they found out that the

traditional

taichi and will lower your blood

pressure now let us examine the

credibility of the science number one

the science comes out of China number

two it involves a traditional Chinese

practice so it comes from China and

they're trying to find out if a

traditional Chinese practice is good for

you oh surprise surprise the Chinese

study that's a single bind which is not

a double blind single blind so it's not

as good as a double blind and only had

342

participants

surprisingly supported the national

interests of China huh huh yeah not

single single blind not

bind so is this credible

science

no now it doesn't mean taiichi doesn't

lower your blood pressure maybe it does

but should you believe it if it's a

study of 342 people in China about a

traditional Chinese

practice I don't know I've Got a Feeling

if they studied traditional Chinese

acupuncture they might have gotten a

similar result if you know what I

mean all

right you know it's a really good

idea to do your own

research uh let me show you what happens

when you do your own

research here Dr uh Eli David is showing

us um on the xplatform he's posting

about

uh CH there's a graphic showing that

China is admitting more carbon then the

entire developed world

combined

so if you did your own research and you

tried to find out who's the worst pooter

you'd find out it was China so that

tells you something useful

right because you did your own research

yeah uh now let's do it on a per capita

basis uh China's got 1.43 billion people

United States has 342 million that means

the US is rough roughly 24% of their

population and yet the US is emitting

something like 40% of their

CO2 huh when you look at it that way

it's the

reverse if you look at it on a perers

basis the US is much

worse so what is the what's the

point is China worse than the us or is

the US worse than

China which which way is the fair way to

say it well some say China is a country

and the US is a country so you just

compare them they're doing they're doing

worse things to the world than we are so

they're bigger big deal they're doing

worse things to the world that is

correct they are but you don't think it

matters that they have more

people don't we naturally expect that

the more people there are the more CO2

if you live in any kind of a modernizing

society

so if you did your own research and

stopped at the raw number did you do a

good job of doing your own research or

do you think it really matters the per

person because if you try to figure out

who's the good people I would say it's

the people who have the smallest per

person

CO2 that's how I'd see it so so why

would you see it the other way could you

see it the other way you could you could

see it the other way so that's my point

um doing your own research will more

often mislead you than illuminate you

and you don't know the

difference sometimes doing your own

research gets you exactly the right

answer might even save your life the

trouble is you don't know when that's

happening and when you're just being

misled but you're pretty sure you're

right this

time um I see in the comments that you

want me to note that CO2 uh can feed

plants um such as Joe Biden and

vegetables I get it I see your joke I

will steal your joke all

right there's a Kentucky state senator

who wants a constitutional amendment to

ban non non-citizens from voting can you

believe this is even a

question that that we seriously talking

about not just letting ah let few of

those non-citizens vote I mean it's just

going to get lost in the noise anyway

but we have massive

immigration and we're going to let looks

like there's a movement in some states

to let them vote now how is that even in

the

conversation well how about we do a

little bit of

uh

um Embrace and

amplify so the Democrats are telling us

that that our system would be better off

if the illegal uh migrants vote what do

you think do you think our system would

be better off if

noncitizens who enter the United States

illegally

vote but suppose we suppose we take that

and amplify it what what if we embrace

it for a moment and say you know what

not only are you right about that but

you're so right we should do more of it

here's a little mental

mental experiment for you and this is

going to really this is going to break

your

brain suppose we let everybody vote in

the whole world literally everybody

you're a Chinese citizen you want to

vote in the next American election you

can and we'll count it you're in

Lithuania absolutely you can vote we'll

send you an electronic uh you know

ballot uh anywhere in South America

absolutely you vote now here's my

question which would be the better

result if Americans including you know

with our all of our division naturally

and then you throw in the the migrants

and we're going to get this real Insider

who wants power which group is you know

funding the bad guys the best uh who

does the military-industrial complex

want who's counting our votes you know

all that stuff now compare that to the

world that that would include our ad

adversaries our

adversaries literally our adversaries

let them vote in our election along with

our allies what would

happen well I think you might be

surprised because even our adversaries

don't want us to

fail if America went down everything

would be screwed for a long time they

don't want you know our adversaries

don't want us to attack them I get that

our adversaries don't want us to you

know take take their resources and stuff

like that that makes sense but I don't

think they want us to fail I think what

they want is us to be a legitimate

player on the world stage to do the

thing that America does you know invent

new technologies and create medicines

that aren't always a scam that sort of

thing you know get to space you know

create some Elon musks now and then you

know they like that

stuff I I propose to you that I don't

this is not a serious uh suggestion by

the way but if we let every other

country vote for America's president

that we would vastly improve our

choices just look at it look look at

what we're look at the two choices we

gave ourselves with our current

system do you think the rest of the

world would have put up with that do you

think that Biden would actually be in

the race if the rest of the world got to

choose our president

no no it's possible that none of the

people were in the race would be in it

they'd probably pick somebody who was

just a good you know a good operator who

wasn't too political who just did stuff

that made sense yeah yeah they'd

probably vote for some well Elon can't

run but they they probably vote for well

I don't know about aake he's you know

he's certainly is aligned with one

political party but they probably picked

somebody who wasn't too political who

just knew how to get stuff done so we'd

stay yeah maybe Rond to santis that's

not that's not too far somebody in the

middle

midd anyway our current system is so

broken that letting the rest of the

world vote I believe in all seriousness

it's not a serious suggestion but as a

mental exercise I think the world would

vote us a better

president because look what we're doing

I mean

really look what we're doing there's no

way it would be worse

all right I'm going to take a minor

partial Victory lap um you might know

the ACT actor and activist Michael rapor

is he's been making some news he was on

the Tim pool show was talking about him

and others he was on uh oh I can't why

can't I remember his

initials

dbe pbd

pbd I I'll never be able to remember his

initials I don't know why oh it's

because the p and the B and the D oh I

got it I'm

dyslexic look at the letters the

lowercase letter p b and d

lowercase they're all the same letter PB

and D are all the same letter they're

just upside down and backwards you see

that I just realized why I could never

get his

name yeah if I remembered his full name

it'd be easier no but PB and D in lower

case are all the same letter I actually

can't see it they all they all just jump

around when I look at them I never

realized that before but that's I think

that's the problem well that in the fact

that my brain is corroding faster than

Biden's anyway mapor is coming out and

saying that he was initially fooled by

the fine people hoax and he actually

believed that Trump had said those

neo-nazis were fine people and now he's

going public and saying he knows that

that was taking context and when you see

the full quote it's obvious he said the

opposite of that

and here's what's amazing about

it the fine people hoax in my opinion

was the second biggest political hoax of

my

time the second biggest the Russian

collusion was bigger but it was the

second biggest political hoax and it is

now being

treated at least on the right-leaning

side of the world is being treated as

simply a a fact that it was a

hoax when when you watch the Tim pool

show there's nobody on the other side

saying oh but but but he did say it

we're actually past that there's nobody

arguing he actually said it unless you

just unless you have actually just

batshit crazy Democrats so I'd like to

give now I do think that this hoax is an

evergreen if you wait two years it'll

just revive itself and somebody will

believe it happened again but at the

moment it's beaten down by than I've

seen it beaten down so big shout out to

Steve Cortez who's been working against

that hoax for years now and Joel Pollock

also and breit Bart especially in

tweeting um and posting and and then um

I of course have been a maniac about it

so I would say that the three Horsemen

of the debunking of that

hoax we may have made a may have made a

difference by the way let me ask you do

you you think that do you think it would

be commonly understood that it was a

hoax even on the right do you think it

would be commonly understood without

debate if the three of us had not been

pushing on it for seven

years I think it made a difference yeah

like I I never know what makes a

difference but seven years of just

maniacally pushing back on that thing at

least speaking for

myself uh I think it made some

difference but only on the right

on the people on the left don't get real

news so they have no

idea all right so uh no surprise here

but the Democrats are pulling out some

law fair against RFK

Jr and it looks like they're accusing

him of illegal

activities I don't know something about

a Super PAC it's probably and

now they've opened a federal

investigation to remove him from the

ballot come

on how do the Democrats not see what's

happening

now how how can you not see what's going

on they don't get the news if they saw

the same news we do maybe they'd see the

same thing but uh yeah that's

disgusting um and you know what's funny

about it is that and I'll give RFK Jr

some credit if you look at RFK Jr's

character and his life of work now that

doesn't mean everything he's ever said

about vaccinations is true because I

doubt it you know very it's very unusual

everybody would be true about you know

that domain um but I swear I never I

never really suspect him of

intentionally

lying I just don't see it I mean he's

been talking about a lot of things for a

long time and I'm looking for the

lies now there might be things he's Inc

wed about not not going to argue that at

all

but um if you compare the Biden

Administration to RFK Jr I don't even

need to look at the details of this

story do you have is everybody having

the same impression I'm just going to

take his word for it that it's

illegitimate because I think he earned

that does anybody

disagree I I think that uh the Democrats

and Biden his credibility is so low and

RFK Juniors is so high not not in terms

of being technically correct about

everything he's ever said but just not

lying that if he says there was no crime

and he says they're coming after him for

political reasons I believe that and I

don't even need to hear anything else

because that's the difference in

credibility one is very high credibility

and the other is a known serial liar for

150 years so those are not really

similar um Senator ran

Paul um is responding to Joe Biden who

said that it's quote close to criminal

neglect if Congress doesn't uh send

money to

Ukraine close to criminal neglect if we

don't fund an Ukraine Ukraine's border

war and uh Rand Paul Senator ran Paul

reminds us I would say his criminal

neglect for Mitch McConnell Chuck suumer

and Joe Biden to get together to send

100 billion overseas to fix someone

else's border before addressing our

border yeah that does seem criminal and

actually Trump said something like that

in his speech in Harrisburg I

guess um that he thinks that the people

who are not closing the

border that maybe there should be some

criminal

liability now I don't think so I doubt

there's any criminal liability and I'm

not really big on looking for crimes

where they're not obvious

but it does seem that

important it does seem like it's on that

level of a gigantic crime even if it's

not technically a crime if it's just

people not doing their job or something

so it's that important I doubt it's an

actual crime uh all right are you having

fun watching uh Biden's supporters

trying to uh trying to explain

away all of his mental problems does

anybody else think it's hilarious at

this

point you know I always used to make fun

of the old thing in politics there's

always somebody saying oh the emperor

has no clothes the emperor has no

clothes and I always go g GH it's like

soil and green it's like it's like the

obvious thing everybody says in every

situation the emperor has no clothes but

I've never seen it fit so

well yeah you you've got obviously a

bumbling who's clearly mentally

you know

disintegrated and they're they're trying

to sell us on the fact that he's all

there this is the first time I've seen

an exact perfect example of The

Emperor's New Clothes because I always

thought well if you had an EMP who

literally wore no

clothes there's no way that you wouldn't

mention it like it's not

realistic but we actually have a

situation where everybody can see he's

mentally degraded and his supporters are

looking you right in the eyes and saying

no he's

not

no no he's wearing all of his

clothes and he's not mentally

degraded now do you see me doing the

Democrat lying

strategy there there are three things to

look for you look for the eyes get

wide you look for the chin goes up a

little bit and you look for the smile

that doesn't match the

faith do you want to see it

again I give you uh kamla

Harris defending Joe Biden

I'm going to play it with the sound

off I want you to see if you can spot

the point where she tells the lie and

the LIE is that Joe Biden is fine

there's nothing problem right so watch

your face until the moment she gets to

the LIE look for the eyes widen chin

goes up and the smile that doesn't match

the face watch for

it I want you to I Want You To indicate

when you see the LIE there's no sound

let's see see if I can get it so you can

both see it at the same

time watch for the eyes to get big in a

minute hope I didn't miss it did I miss

it

yet oh I think I missed

it let's do it

again all right eyes

normal head

normal eyes and face

match there it is there it

is did you catch

it see if I can fast forward

it it's hard to catch the moment but did

you catch it you play back yourself and

catch it

yeah but it's funny once you see it it's

so obvious it just jumps right

out um so here are the defenses that are

the people are giving one is that Trump

confuses names

too Trump confuses names too and then

they show some video of him now is that

fair is that fair to say Trump confuses

his names

too I think it is yeah I think it's fair

because in my opinion the the Biden when

Biden confuses

names in his case it probably is because

of dementia but it's also true that

people confuse names routinely it's a

very normal thing to do all right now in

fact this is a sort of a confession of

mine I've always fantasized like what

would it be like to be president and I

thought I wonder could I ever be a

president and I realized that I probably

couldn't because of all the names of

foreign leaders I would get wrong I mean

I I have a real problem with it let let

me give you an

example if uh I were being being visited

by L say the leader of

Afghanistan I'm not sure I would know

that hibatul

akanda um I wouldn't know him from Bin's

shik hammad bin assal Khalifa I mean I I

saw I wouldn't even know the difference

at

all

um so

yeah yeah I'd be all which one is that

is that

hiah or is that uh

is

alai I can't even tell them

apart you know so that's one of the

reasons I can't be president because I

can't tell all the leaders

apart uh I used to think but apparently

not being able to tell the leaders apart

will not hurt you for being president so

we got a Biden we got a trump barely

that's not now the other thing that I

thought would prevent me from someday

being president is all of my uh

grabbing but now I have evidence to

suggest that I could grab a bunch of

confuse the names of uh hibatullah

akand and alifa and I still be able to

be a president and that's I find that

motivating so here are some other things

that people are saying to defend Biden

um stenhammer was funny he posted today

show show me a video a recent video of

Joe Biden stuttering

because they're saying don't make fun of

him for his stuttering I mean but do we

have any video of him let's say from 10

years ago when he was perfectly fine was

he stuttering 10 years ago I don't

remember it I have no no memory of him

ever stuttering 10 years ago but now

suddenly he stutters like he did when he

was a kid huh and then Rachel M points

out that he rides a

bike yeah

she she uh says he rides a bike

now are we at the point where there's

literally no difference between reality

and

parody If I had told you that a

comedian had told you that uh Joe Biden

is perfectly fine because hey look at

how he rides a bike wouldn't you think

that that real comedian said that as a

joke but that's actually what Rachel M

said in the real world in the actual

real world outside of humor she said

that he's probably fine because he can

ride a

bike apparently he can ride it right

into the

ground she didn't say she didn't say

where he rides it to he rides it right

to the ground but at least he's riding

it and then there's the argument that K

makes that uh um Joe Biden is is

actually totally mentally capable which

certainly raises an interesting question

doesn't it which others have raised wait

a minute if the reason he's not being

prosecuted seems to be largely around

his mental

incapacity if you're arguing that he

does have good mental capacity aren't

you also arguing he should be in

jail now you're going to say to me wait

a minute wait a

minute um you're going to say there's a

complete difference between uh what

Trump did and what Biden did because

Biden um simply said that he was

couldn't remember and he's incapable and

he didn't didn't willfully do anything

with those documents but they believe

that Trump is mentally capable and he

also resisted giving those documents

back so therefore it's his resistance

that's the real

crime are you hearing the the Democrats

say

that

well here's the funny

part do you know what what they could

say that would be terribly persuasive

but they can't form sentences and get

the sound of their mouth like literally

they can't say it but it would be so

persuasive if they if they could here's

what they can't

say because of TDS

yes if Trump had not

resisted we think that he should not be

charged with anything regarding the

possession of the

documents now if they said that I would

say oh well that's very consistent yeah

Biden wasn't

charged because because not just because

he's mentally incapable but because he

didn't resist when they asked him back

and he accept the process which

apparently is not that unusual to have a

process to get back documents from an

official whereas uh whereas Trump he

resisted but here's the better way to

say it if you really wanted to persuade

me you'd say you know what if you're a

Democrat you'd say um yes Biden did not

get charged because he obeyed the system

we also believe that if Trump had obeyed

the system the same way we also think he

should not be

charged the same way do you know why

they can't say

that TDS it would be perfectly

persuasive if you said that to me I'd

say you know what that's actually a

solid argument that one resisted and one

didn't so maybe it is the resistance

that's the problem but they've got to

say it directly if Trump had not

resisted he should also not be charged

charged for having the

documents but you know why they can't

say

that the reason they can't say that is

it would

give imaginary mental cover to Trump

imaginary because in the real world he

did

resist everybody agrees he resisted so

they can't even they can't even do a

hypothetical mental experiment which

allowed Trump to go free in their mind

and I mean this I mean they can't say

the the persuasive thing because in

doing so they would have to imagine

Trump innocent of something and they

actually can't go there literally can't

go there because their brains won't

allow it so instead they're they're

closed off from their best argument for

Biden which is you know what if Trump

had given all the documents back I don't

think the possession of the documents

should have been

charged

and you remember they made such a big

deal about the contents of uh Trump's

documents do you remember that it was

all about the

contents and that they they must have

the nuclear secrets in there and then

when Biden's documents were discovered

do you recall anybody characterizing the

contents I don't recall that ever being

done so we suddenly don't care about the

contents after mons and months of the

Democrats saying the contents are

probably well we don't know but I'm just

speculating that it's Iranian nuclear

secrets the dumbest speculation you

could ever

have like I don't think do do you think

that a staffer or even Trump himself

packed up some sensitive nuclear secrets

and just took them with them I mean I

suppose anything's possible but that

seems unlikely to me it seems that both

Biden and Trump probably had documents

that were technically you know

inappropriate to take home but maybe not

that dangerous like in the in the final

analysis probably not too dangerous so

suddenly we just stopped talking about

the

contents we just stop talking about it

and that's why it's embarrassing if

you're a Democrat if you made a big deal

about the contents being the important

part now you you lost that argument

so is Biden fit to stand trial in which

case he should or is he

unfit

um let's talk about Tucker and

Putin remember you you mostly disagreed

with me when I said that Putin's uh

history lesson about why Russia thinks

it should have some um control over

parts of Ukraine or all of it um I said

that he looked unhinged and it didn't

look very capable to

me because the history lesson is not

persuasive to

Americans I'm going to revise

that all right I'm going to completely

reverse it actually but not for the

reason you think I still say that the

history lesson had no value to Americans

in other words the details of his

history lesson had zero persuasive

effect on any American probably any

European but I'm not going to say it had

no

value and I'm going to I'm going to fool

you here because you don't see this

coming just wait for

it but I saw that Tucker also um

regarded the history lesson as

incoherent he actually used that word so

Tucker agreed with me that the History

part just didn't seem

connected really to the answer in in a

tight enough way that it looked like he

was

coherent

now uh but wait for the end I'm I'm

going to support Putin's

play you know so don't criticize me yet

I'm going to support Putin's play on the

history lesson but not for the reason

you think right different

reason

um so and then I saw some people think

that uh Putin was personally hurt by

being rebuffed by the West you know

every time you wanted to be friends I

don't know if any of that's true we

can't read his mind so I wouldn't

there but maybe maybe he's personally

hurt I don't know if that affected

anything um but here here's uh my

defense of

Putin it took me a while to figure this

out because the thing I was having

trouble reconciling is that Putin is so

capable and would know so much about

persuasion especially have you know

given his background that to do

something that is so wrong persuasion

wise it made me question is

sanity until I re realized what the real

play was and now I don't question the

sanity it was a really good play you

don't realize why but I'm going to tell

you um those of you who are my longtime

listeners uh can confirm that this is

something I've talked about before and

actually in some detail and I've said

I've used the technique myself let's say

you're negotiating with somebody and

it's just a business

negotiation and uh you want a good price

and they want to get a good price and

it's just

business if it's just business you

almost know before you start where it's

going to end up don't you like even

before you start you're going to ask for

something too much I'm going to say too

little we're going to meet in the middle

and in the end it's going going to look

like similar business deals because

everybody in business knows that if you

started with a first offer that was so

far out of the normal business realm

nobody would even negotiate with you so

you start by saying what do we assume is

possible and then you're within that

realm and you can always you know get to

a get to a Meeting of Minds if it's just

Financial you can almost always make it

work

now what would be an argument in which

that doesn't work where you're just both

being rational you're both being within

the rational

domain it's when something's

irrational this is an actual persuasion

negotiating technique which I have used

it goes like this if you can convince

the other side that your reasoning is

irrational at least in in any individual

point of it not the whole thing if

you're just totally irrational they

won't deal with you but if you could say

I'm rational about everything but

honestly I'm going to point out this one

thing and I'm going to tell you as

directly as I can I'm not going to be

rational about this and here's

why if you could make that

case you almost win the negotiation from

that point

on you have to sell your own

irrationality that sounds backwards

doesn't it that if you're negotiating

with somebody you have to convince them

that you are

irrational doesn't that sound

crazy nope it's what Trump does all the

time do you think that when uh when

Trump said I might nuke ma

Moscow do you think that sounded

rational nope it didn't sound rational

so Putin couldn't be sure that that was

something he could negotiate because it

wasn't based on something rational who

the hell would nuke

Moscow it would literally be crazy so

how do you even deal with that what do

you do with that well the first thing

you do is you say all right I can't deal

with crazy so I'm going to have to work

with whatever I can work with but I know

I can't change crazy and then Trump

won because you can't deal with crazy

you can't negotiate with an irrational

component doesn't mean the person is

rational in general but there might be

an irrational component let me give you

an

example for my real life when my

syndication contract which was

originally a 15-year deal expired I

thought to myself hey I'm a free agent

I'll go negotiate a better deal than I

ever had because I can negotiate with

other syndication companies the

syndicator is who sells it to newspapers

and you split the money so I thought I

would do that but then my syndicate

company reminded me hey there was a

clause in your original contract that

says even at the end of it if you go

work with somebody else we still get a

portion of your

money and I said what yeah after 15

years your new

work we would still get paid for even if

we have nothing to do with with you if

you've gone to another company it says

that right in your contract and I said

it couldn't possibly say

that there's no way I would have signed

that contract and they looked at the

contract it was

there just like they said and I don't

know why did I forget it like I actually

don't know why I didn't know it was

there so here's what I could do I could

either take a big loss and go with the

same company that I went with for 15

years which I which had been a really

good

relationship uh but I would leave a lot

of money on the table if I couldn't go

to the free market and negotiate my

actual value so you know how I

negotiated out of that

Clause

irrationally intentionally

irrationally I looked the head of the

Syndicate in the eyes over lunch and I

said basically in these words your

contract is very

clear I will quit the business before

I'll sign it

now I was at the height of my powers and

quitting at that point would have been

absolutely stupid and I looked them in

the eyes and I said this is so up

that I'll quit the business before I

will agree with this now if he believed

I would not quit the business which

would have been the more rational thing

to do obviously because all I had to do

is sign up with them again and they

would just start throwing money at me

like they did before and everything

would be fine so the most rational thing

to do was say oh damn I made a mistake I

never should have signed it but I did

and my life would go on i' still make a

lot of money they'd be happy Etc that

would have been the rational thing to do

so to get out of that I went fully

irrational and I had to sell that I

would myself up and down backwards

and forwards I would kill my family I

would break a law but I wasn't going to

sign that

contract in the end

they were convinced that there was

nothing they could do to get me to sign

it and then I reached a very good deal

and I ended up I did sign with them but

not until they gave me a much better uh

situation and in the end I ended up

going to another Syndicate from um you

know just a business combination that

happened

later now let's go back to Biden so you

see that you see the idea right and the

irrational negotiating position is

actually your strongest one so long as

you seem to be rational in general Putin

seems to be rational in general and then

he gave you that long weird

incoherent history

lesson what was the only thing he needed

you to

know do you remember the dates and the

names and who no NOP does he need you to

remember the history no NOP does he need

you to think that the history is a valid

reason for whatever he's doing no he

doesn't need you does he need you to

believe that the history is accurate No

nope doesn't need that does he need you

to agree with him about the history NOP

no he only needs one thing and he got

it he only needed one thing to win the

negotiations that are upcoming cuz he

knows they're upcoming and he got it and

the one thing he needed was for the West

to

believe that he would burn down Europe

before he would give up on

this and he did he sold

it he sold that now he didn't say it in

those

words but he sure he sure sold it he

sold that the the Russian heart

is what has to be

satisfied we can't do that we we have no

tools for that we can't rebuild you a

pipeline you hey we'll put your pipeline

back together no that doesn't help my

heart not even a little bit well we'll

negotiate you know you keep this we'll

keep that doesn't help my

heart what are you going to do it he may

have Putin success sucessfully

established that there's part of the

negotiations that are off they're just

off the

table by simply telling us we're not

going to be rational about this in the

way that you and I would think would be

rational but in

fact he's hyper

rational it was kind of

brilliant the the fact that he used and

I'm going to say used because you know

Tucker was using Putin but Putin was

using Tucker as long as it's transparent

I don't mind it a bit actually you know

that was transparent it was right in

front of us like the entire intention of

it was to show you all of it how could I

be mad at that transparency is the best

we can do folks if you have full

transparency you could wish it were

better but it can't be better that's

just the best you could do and that was

full

transparency am am I such an idiot that

I think uh Putin told me the truth

no no I don't think Putin told me the

truth not a not even a little

bit do I think that uh Tucker asked

every hard question that he wanted to

ask no no because he still had to

survive so the uh so my take on this is

that Putin won the interaction in the

sense that he established an irrational

point of negotiation that will help him

in the future and at some point the the

West will back down because he sold it

so

well the whole incoherent part the whole

fact that he he made you listen to it

first before he'd even ask that the way

he handled the whole thing is all

supportive of the fact that he has an

irrational connection to it and that was

the sale and we all bought it nicely

done Putin

nicely done now it is possible he's just

a crazy babbling old guy talked about

history that's not impossible but given

that everything else he does seems to

make sense it would be weird if this is

the one thing that was

completely you know

accidental so I do believe that that the

uh um his belief about history is

probably you know it's real I think he's

motivated by it but far more important

and than his motivation is that he sold

the fact that he's not going to be

dealing with that like rational things

very well done

negotiator now let's talk about the

opposite so one of the things that came

out of that interview with Tucker and

Putin was the claim that there was some

movement toward negotiated peace that

Boris Johnson killed and talked to

seninsky out of it uh Boris Johnson is

very angry at that interview and among

the things she says are

that uh that Tucker was a quote foring

gooing and had a slack Jord happiness at

having a

scoop and Johnson says that uh Tucker

betrayed his viewers around the world he

said he didn't ask tough questions

didn't ask Putin why even now he is

using the most brutal means of Modern

Warfare to m murder innocent Ukrainian

civilians and then he said Carlson acted

like a fan of Putin and quote boneheaded

accepted Putin's mixture of semi

masticated Wikipedia and outright

falsehoods Johnson

said and he went on he said not since

George Galloway I have no idea who that

is but not since George Galloway went to

Baghdad and hail the in indefatigable

Inda God damn you Johnson can you use

words that are a little bit smaller than

this I know you showing off but I don't

need to take four runs at this one

goddamn word

indefatigability IND

indefatigability in

indefatigability of uh Saddam Hussein

have we seen such a display of this is

actually something Johnson said of bum

sucking cility to a

tyrant and said Carl was just the medium

the sewer the hose for Putin to spread

his message to

America so is that good uh

persuasion how did Boris Johnson do

defending himself against the

accusations uh did you hear the part

where he said the accusations are not

true he he left that part out he left

out the part about the accusations are

not

true shouldn't that be

first here here here's what I would

consider a good

response well you know pun's a liar and

the thing he said happened literally

didn't even

happen that never even

happened and and and uh Tucker should

have been more critical about that

because he's you know just F it's just

fake

news

but instead he decided to destroy

Tucker's personal

credibility who does that if they can

just go after the fact nobody does an ad

homonym first if they can just say the

thing didn't happen now if you say the

thing didn't happen and then you go on

and insult the person then you're just

Trump right but when when Trump insults

people it's usually over a thing like a

policy a thing right it it's not just a

whole bunch of

insults and he looked a little unhinged

and

uh I think if you do a

full-on um personal attack and you don't

do more of a just a matter of fact

denial of the facts behind it you can't

really Fail Harder than

that to me it looked like another Putin

victory

over the West um my my current thinking

is that everything the West did in

Ukraine was wrong and that you know I

I'm not going to support

Putin but I can just talk about my own

side everything my side did looks wrong

from the 2014 coup to today it all looks

wrong to me so I don't have to say

Putin's good or Putin's right or

anything like that but when Johnson says

that what Tucker should have talked

about is how there's maming and

murdering of ukrainians by

Russia really I mean that's so

transparently just trying to change the

topic that it's like a almost like a

confirmation of the accusation that he

denied a chance to have peace I don't

know if it's true but the way he's

reacting to it as if is as if it's

true all right uh so apparently the

house Judiciary Committee is going after

this uh district attorney fonnie Willis

who's after Trump as you know so it's

not a coincidence that they would go

after her because she's after Trump but

um what are they trying to get uh

they're trying to figure out if she use

federal funds

illegally for boyfriend or whatever now

I would like to suggest the following

strategy

does it seem to you that a lot of these

Soros backed prosecutors and

Das does it look like they're all

corrupt that they're all using public

money for their boyfriends or

something so would it make sense for the

Republicans to uh since they have that

big legal fund that Steven Miller's

doing wouldn't it make sense to Simply

uh investigate every one of the Soros um

da

to Target them for

lawfare and just take them out with

lawfare because you could actually take

down the whole Soros Network by

targeting them one after another and

just really go horribly at them now keep

keep in mind under a situation of normal

politics I would never suggest this I

don't think you should be going looking

for crimes that's the worst freaking

thing you could do in America but the

Soros prosecutors I consider an invasion

to me that's an unfriendly Force

operating domestically I it's almost

like domestic terrorism so under the

under the sense that it's not almost it

is domestic terrorism it is domestic

terrorism it is they they're operating

as domestic terrorists because they're

hunting Republicans and I'm I'm

literally afraid of being locked up for

not doing anything illegal so that's

exactly terrorism making people afraid

to do legal

things in their world because they think

this horrible person will put them in

jail so this is I would put uh I would

put a billion dollars behind this if I

had a billion dollars to fund an

absolute investigation of every Doro

Soros

funded candidate and anybody anybody who

takes money from a Soros entity should

know that their underwear is going to be

turned upside down down and that the

Republicans will Target them only

because of the Soros connection not

because they're

Democrats If This Were happening just

because they're Democrats absolutely no

absolutely no I do not approve of just

looking for crimes because somebody's a

Democrat no no no no no don't do that

but because they're Soros funded and

they seem to be fitting a pattern of

domestic terrorism in the sense of Al

you misusing the legal system I think

that they they are completely legitimate

targets for

lawfare completely legitimate and I

wouldn't use lawfare in any other

situation unless it was you know

something that looks like literally

terrorism or an attack on our on our

nation so yeah law fair it

up

um K Harris uh was talking to some folks

some uh class of Future Leaders and she

said this and it is it's so brilliant it

will probably be quoted much like the

Martin Luther King you know I had a

dream possibly like Abe Lincoln a four

score 20 years ago maybe like Kennedy Cy

ask you know ask not what your country

can do for you but somewhere in that

category is

this the Brilliance of this inaugural

class and its leaders is the ability to

see what can

be unburdened by what has been and then

to make it

real I don't know has anybody ever said

that before yes it's the only thing she

says every time she goes anywhere

because if you haven't heard it before

it sounds kind of awesome if you've

heard it over and over again

it gets less awesome every time you hear

it so um I would like to suggest that

the funniest thing about

2024 is watching Dei destroy the

Democratic party because that's what's

happening so Dei as you know would be

the favoring of you know minority and

women over white men primarily but also

Asian

Americans and in this case Dei caused

the Democrats to hire KL Harris as the

vice president and I don't think there's

anybody listening to this who would

disagree that she's a Dei hire is that

is that fair because I can't imagine it

was because of

capability right would everybody agree

that she's a Dei hire and it's obvious

right now likewise just to be fair if

Trump picked Tim Scott I would say

that's a Dei

hire even though Tim Scott's a solid

senator would you agree I mean it would

be sort of too on the nose I was like

okay all right it's because you're black

right now if if Trump picked as his vice

president um V

ramaswami I would not say it's because

he's brown I would say we just watched

him impress the country with the best

communication skills and political

policies I've ever seen right so it

would be hard to sell that one as a some

kind of a you know minority Dei thing

that would be a genuine case of the I'll

call it the bill Amman style of

diversity or really what Mark cubin

wishes it were but it isn't which is you

pick the best person and whoa they're

brown

too then you get yourself some free

diversity but if you're not getting it

for

free then it's a Dei hire Tim Scott's

solid Tim Tim Scott is solid but you

would see it as a Dei hire because he's

not of aake right if a didn't exist I

might feel differently he such an

obvious better

choice so here's what makes it funny

because kamla Harris CA Harris was hired

as vice

president

um Biden can't

quit because everybody knows that she's

too weak to take over for the president

which was the entire point of a vice

president the entire point is you have

to be smart you know good enough to take

over now you could argue that Pence you

know wasn't as strong as Trump but you

know what he could have taken

over you know you could imagine him

winning an election I could I could

imagine it but you know I don't he's not

it wouldn't be my choice for president

either but you could imagine it he's

like he's a serious person right um but

kamla I don't even think the Democrats

think she has a chance or would be the

right person for

president um so they've gotten

themselves in a bind where they can't

get rid of Biden and they also can't win

with

him they can't get rid of him and they

can't win and it's only going to get

worse because he will keep degrading

between now and election day in

theory uh the de Dei hire should make

Biden lose bad when in fact it would be

an obvious solution if she were a strong

candidate right the obvious solution

would be oh well kamla can take over and

I'm not feeling so good and she could

win this election as easily as I could

go ahead obvious an obvious solution but

they can't do it because they hired klin

they can't fire her can't replace her

with another black woman can you imagine

that can you imagine CU some people say

that Michelle Obama let me tell you why

Michelle Obama can't

happen 100% can't happen you're not

going to replace a black woman with

another black

woman it would make it look like the

whole thing was a

joke you kind of looks like that now but

no you're not going to do

it so here's what I think is going to

happen K Harris got hired as a Dei hire

she's made it impossible for them to win

the presidency

and if you lose a presidency that hard

usually has a down vote down ballot

effect right am I

right I mean usually that people don't

say we like all the Democrats for

congress but we want a Republican

president at the same time you know on

the same ballot they don't usually say

that so it's more likely they're going

to say you know what let's give the

Republicans a shot or you know what

let's just not vote this

time um you don't have to shout at me

that she's uh half black and half Indian

I know it but in the real world she's

considered black for political

reasons but I I understand there it's

the same as calling Obama black in my

mind he's never been black not a single

day do you

agree in my mind Obama's never been

black even

once he he's a person who is Part White

and part

black and he's chosen that black is his

better uh

branding because you know why because

claiming you're white is a

disadvantage no better example right now

obviously he claimed he's white nobody

would believe it but he can claim he's

black and people are like oh

okay like where does that come

from what why why can he claim he's

black

when you're half black like who makes

those

rules and by the way I don't mind like

it it's perfectly fair but like where

does that come from that we all just

accept that that's like a normal thing

to do like you you just ignore half of

them why does that make sense is it

because society would treat him as

black which is a fair point it's a fair

the same point I make with um uh with

kamla I think that the non-indian public

just treats her as black which is not

accurate

either all right

um so President Biden uh one of the ways

he likes to prove that he's not mentally

incompetent is sending other people out

to argue that he's not mentally

incompetent because that's how you do it

right if you want to prove that you can

speak in public in a capable way you

send other people to speak for you in

public to say that if you were there you

could actually make sense but you're not

there because that's very

persuasive oh yeah I guess he could just

pick up his phone and point it at his

face proves coherent simply by talking

into his phone for 15 seconds and then

posting it I mean that would do it but

instead he's going to send out an army

of people who are not him to say that

behind closed doors he's totally lucid

I don't see how that could be less

persuasive but something good came from

it which is his lawyer saying that uh

the the special what is it the

prosecutor guy

her uh went beyond his

remit I was listening to that in the car

and I heard the lawyer say that the they

think that the special prosecutor went

beyond his remit you know what the first

thing I said to myself was

mental note keep that word for later I'm

totally going to say something went

beyond his

remit maybe before the end of this live

stream because I like it so much it

sounded so smart I heard him say and I

believe he wouldn't past his remit and I

was like

what what I'm totally using

that

so you can make comments here sure but

don't go beyond your

remit all right um yeah and the real

problem is that he pointed it out not

that it's

true the real we're we're acting like

the real problem is that the special

prosecutor pointed out that Biden is

mentally

degraded I feel like the reality should

be the only conversation here didn't he

get it wrong and and and the thought

that if that's what the special

prosecutor really thought and believed

how in the world is that not

relevant that's pretty

relevant I'm seeing a dad joke which I'm

going to repeat that the definition of

remit is when Mitt Romney runs for

president yet again you're remitting

yeah not bad be

minus all right

um Trump's talking about uh Biden's

classified documents and he says if

Biden's not going to be charged then I

should not be charged this is nothing

more than selective

prosecution well now the Democrats would

argue it's not about the documents it's

about the resisting of the process for

giving them back but is it good

persuasion for Trump to ignore that fine

point and just say hey it's documents we

should be treated the same it is it's

not

honest

it's not honest because if we were being

honest he'd say okay A little bit of is

about my you know resisting giving them

back but he should also say if you're

being honest we thought we had a like a

legal process going you know we were in

conversations you know probably could

have been resolved um but it's good

persuasion because the country doesn't

know the difference between those two

cases and no matter how many times MSNBC

explains no it's not about the documents

oh yes we were complaining about it was

just about the documents before but now

now it's not about just the documents

now it's about the process nobody

listens the average voter is just going

to look at those two situations and say

they look alike to me they both took

documents one got away with it one

didn't that's what it's going to look

like right so yes Trump's uh Instinct on

persuasion is exactly right it's exactly

right it's not fully honest but it's

very

persuasive all

right and uh Trump said about the Border

bill that uh I think I mentioned this

that

uh the if the Senate wants to pass a

real border bill they should establish

criminal penalties for senior Biden

officials who refuse to enforce the

existing

law now I have two thoughts about that

I don't think you

want

crimes for not doing your

job I feel like that's a bad precedent

because everybody accuses everybody of

not doing their job so if you if you

make it a crime to not do your job even

if you're a government official it feels

like the wrong move like that's going to

come back and bite your ass later uh it

seems like the right move for not doing

your job should be impeachment and you

know getting fired and all the usual

remove from job kind of

things so but it's good persuasion it it

puts you in the frame of understanding

that what they're doing is is criminal

in its um impact it's not technically

illegal to not do your job but is

Criminal like in its impact has a

criminal

outcome so yes good persuasion not

totally

uh technically

correct all right let me finish this off

by reading a summary by Uncommon Sense

on that's a account on the

xplatform and it's it says tyranny is

here and I'll just read it the way it's

written uh they want to charge Tucker

Carlson with Espionage for journalism

now the they is the Democrats so they

want to charge tuer Carlson with

Espionage for journalism then they

already charged the January 6 protesters

for protesting they charged Trump for

being a good president and not going

along with their plan they rigged the

Democrat primary for Biden they're

charging RFK Jr for financing issues in

quotes all the bidens have been

implicated in well-documented crimes and

not charged that's not true um Hunters

being charged for the gun stuff they

want to remove the most popular

candidate from the ballot and tell you

why he's a threat to

democracy tyranny is not in the future

it is here the emperor has no close all

we have to do is acknowledge it see

that's that's one of those Emperor has

no Clos things

that gets a little overused but in this

specific case I allow

it

now uh this tyy thing sneaks up on you

doesn't it because I don't wake up in

the morning say oh I'm in tyranny but

when you see the full list it doesn't do

look like any kind of Republic does

it did I retweet it um I don't remember

I may

have yeah so we do look like a country

which has lost its um core principles we

look like a country that who our systems

have uh been destroyed and were

resulting to

tribalism you know insults and tribalism

because the system is destroyed and why

is the system

destroyed I think it's

wokeness and

Dei I think that they have destroyed the

American system so that we don't have

the option of using the system we only

have the option of arguing like uh My

Tribe has to kill everybody in your

tribe so wokeness did in fact and uh I

think it was Tim P was pointing out that

it goes all the way back to game

gamergate days and if you trace the the

wokeness all the way through what it's

become you know de and CRT and

everything else that it is

indeed it's really clear to see that as

the uh complete Pro progression of

tyranny

so there you there you are there's a

whole summary of everything

and I believe that's all I needed to

tell you today so I'm going to say

goodbye to the uh folks on X who are

watching in the rumble platform and on

YouTube thanks for joining I'll be here

tomorrow same time by the way if you

watch it if you watch this show on the

big screen

TV with a blanket over your legs and a

cat laying on the blanket on your legs

it is actually the best way to watch the

show so do that next time see you next

see you tomorrow

all
