Because it's a dicey world. Two bars of 5G looking good so far. Hello locals, people piling in. Hello Owen. Lots of good news stories today. Thanks Owen, it's your birthday. Happy birthday.

Well don't mind me. I'm going to adjust my lighting and my shades, print my notes while you guys talk to each other, guys and gals and non-binaries too. Something's wrong. Oh, shades. I'll tell you, if you ever get a chance to have automated shades it's the best. One button and one, two, three, four, shades go down. I'm quite hooked. Of course if you have automated shades throughout your house as I do it also means that some of your windows will not be functioning. There's always some window where the shade is broken. Technology, it's great.

All right, we're going to print our notes and then we're going to go wild. You know I keep expecting these comments. Oh I can pin some. Look at that, I can pin some comments. I'm just looking at my features. I've never checked out the features. Looks like a... let's see what options do I have here. Not a lot of options.

Guinness world record for number of sticks of gum in your mouth set by Chad F. 256 pieces of gum in his mouth at the same time. There must be some Guinness Book of World Records that I've... oh shit, internet's down. Forgot I can't print unless I'm on the same network. That should work.

We're going to be talking about all the cannibals and zero and all the other fun stuff in a minute. Have four minutes to showtime. Have I tried Mastic Gum? I've not.

I tell you, having the internet go up and down is the biggest tease because when it comes up it's screaming. It's just it goes down every 10 minutes. Every five or 10 minutes it drops the signal for a few minutes.

All right, what a show it's going to be. I wish I were you just so I could watch this show. We're going to do the premature thing. Those of you on the non-locals platform probably have never been here early enough to see it. Are you going to talk about that white girl killed by the black girl who slammed her head into the concrete? Sickening. Nope, I'm not going to talk about that. I try to avoid the individual crime stories that people like to then generalize to everybody in the world. Nothing good can come from that. We all know the dangers.

Did I see Vivek's TikTok explanation? No. All right let me check out Vivek's TikTok explanation well before the show starts. All right. Do you think he's going to say something that's going to make me feel okay about it? Oh if only I had internet. So my internet worked just long enough to send the signal to the printer so that's good but it's down right now. Should come up in about 60 seconds.

All right so looks like I won't be checking out what Vivek said. I got no internet. All right let's see if I can do it on my phone without losing the signal. I don't know why I think this would lose the signal but it just seems like it would.

All right let's spell his name correctly. There we go. All right what does he say? So he... all right. Understanding the actual issues. Harder. All right here it is.

Opposing that. I think President Trump just came out against a legislative measure that would require the owner of TikTok to divest. It's currently a Chinese owner, a company called ByteDance, or else that it would be banned in the United States. President Trump just came out opposing that.

Watch him not mention persuasion. Right decision, President Trump, to oppose that legislation because it doesn't make any sense. And I've long said this. Even late in the campaign took a lot of heat from fellow Republicans. But I think we have to ask ourselves the why. And this is the problem with professional politicians. President Trump isn't a professional politician and neither am I. But many people in professional politics, they look at what they're supposed to say and they act like billiard balls on a pool table. They go whatever direction they're hit without thinking about the actual... oh he's avoiding the point... even in the Republican party.

No analogies. Back and ask about the why of what's going on. What's what you leave concern that people have with TikTok? Well one is it's an addictive problem in kids. No that's not the top problem. Why don't you mention the top problem? And that is an issue we need to tackle but it's not specific to one platform. I do think there should be age-based restrictions on social media. Avoiding the problem. Specific point. This point about the divestment relates to a different concern. Watch him avoid the point. And provision of data. There it is. That's not the issue.

God I am so angry that I ever supported that guy. Oh my God I'm completely done with him. Wow. Wow.

All right well let's do a show. Looks like it's time.

All right. Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that I don't even think you can understand, all you need for that is a mug or a glass or a tankard or a chalice or a can or a jug or a flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen right now. Go.

Oh that was pretty good I got to admit. Excellent sip.

All right well we don't know what's going to happen today in this show because I'm using 5G off my phone to livestream. So far so good. I've got a solid three bars on my phone.

If you've ever tried to get anything repaired at your house lately you've probably run into what could be called the incompetence crisis. So I've got Xfinity internet service which goes out every few minutes and my account don't know why. I've had my equipment guy check all of the equipment and isolate it. Doesn't seem to be on my end. Xfinity keeps sending me messages to say oh the problem, there's a problem on our end, can we send a tech, followed by a message that says there's no problem on our end, do you want to cancel the tech, followed by the tech will be there soon, followed by there's no problem if you want to cancel it because there's nothing wrong with our network, followed by the tech arriving and saying oh there's plenty wrong with this network, nothing wrong with your side, but I'll change this wire.

So he changes a wiring somewhere in the external part of my home from the street to the house and then he says it's all working now. And then I say how do you know it's working? Well you can check for yourself it's working. And then I said you know the problem is intermittent outages right? So showing me that it's working is not actually showing me that it's working because the moment you drive away it's going to quit. Oh but I changed the thing that was the problem so you can see it's working. I told you I isolated the problem and fixed it so you're good to go.

So as he was driving away the internet failed completely and continues to be worse than it was when he showed up. So if you've worked with any technology companies you are aware of what happens next. Do I have to tell you what happens next? Easy. I will contact them. They'll say the problem must be with your internal wiring that we can't service or possibly your equipment. I'll call my equipment guy and my inside wiring guy and they'll say I don't see any problem it's got to be in the network.

And then you're going to say but why don't you look at Starlink? Well I have. It's a little too slow for my needs and I don't have any other terrestrial internet services that are fast enough so I can't get the good stuff anywhere else. So I'm going to use my usual technique which is I'm going to tweet Xfinity until it's their highest priority. That's right. Every single day I say Xfinity is failing and their internet is not working until they decide it's a high enough priority to get it fixed.

Now I don't know what else to do. I mean I could call them every day and have them tell me they can't find the problem which basically has been going on for years now. Do you think this is isolated to Xfinity? No. As I've said before I've put in maybe five different home theater setups you know with complicated AV. It's never worked once. Probably five different companies. I give up. And it never gets it never works even the moment they drive away every time. So no surprise.

Anyway enough about me. There's a new indication that according to Nature, a science journal, 10,000 studies were retracted in 2023. It's a new record. 10,000 studies that passed peer review done by actual scientists got retracted because they were not apparently credible. It's a new record.

So what do you make of that? Does that tell you that things are worse than ever? No. If there's one thing I want to teach you this year is that if somebody tells you a number without a percentage or a percentage without a number it's propaganda or it's BS or it's bad work.

So when they say that 10,000 studies were retracted and it's a new record is that bad? You don't know unless you know the percentage. If 10,000 is 1% of all the studies even if it was bigger than the year before because let's say there were just more studies that year that wouldn't be bad. 1% you'd think that was pretty good. If it's 75% that's really really bad.

So even though this is one of those stories that seems to agree with my preconceived notions that there's a lot of bad studies, hearing the number without the ratio and not knowing if that's a big or a small percentage is useless.

How many of you, this is just a little check for you, how many of you knew before I told you that when I said there are 10,000 retractions and it's a new record, how many of you immediately said that's not actually telling me anything? How many of you knew that the moment you heard it? Because that's what you should be doing. I'm trying to get you to the point that the moment you hear the raw number without the percentage or the percentage without the raw number you can't believe anything else that happens after that. Yeah so be alert.

There's also a study. Some researchers said that the after-school activities for kids, you know they're all packed up with tutoring and sports and music and clubs and stuff like that, they say that it's not really helping them because the kids are so basically filled with stuff all day that that last hour of stuff is not really helping them. They're basically full by the time they get done with school. Their heads are full.

Now did they need to do some research on this or could they have saved some money and just asked me? Because asking me would have gotten you the same result. Scott do you think that schools are organized in a way that's good for the children, good for their minds and their development and good for the families? I would say no. It seems to be organized for the opposite. School and all the activities appear to be organized to destroy family life and drive you into divorce.

Now I'm not saying that they planned it that way but there's a famous, well I guess it's getting more famous, saying that says that if a system gives you the same output time after time after time and nobody changes it that the output is the intention. You can't say well we didn't intend it to work out that way if year after year after year you keep doing the same thing and you know what you're getting.

Anybody who is a parent with the exception of people who are maybe parents for the top 2%, if you're a top two you could probably handle all this stuff. Yeah I got a plus. I got music. Got it all. I'm in this sport too. But for 98% of kids they just get overwhelmed and they don't have any family time. There's no family dinner because everybody's driving everybody around. The parents' lives are a living hell. When they get done with their own work they're just driving, driving, sitting, watching, driving and it basically just destroys all quality of life for no benefit whatsoever.

I knew that. How many of you knew that? How many of you were completely aware that the schools are set up to destroy your family? I mean it looks like must be the intention. Yeah but the top students like if you've got an athletic kid that stuff's great if they're really good at athletics. It's just not the average.

Over in Finland they've got a big project. They're going to make a big battery on a sand. So they're going to store a whole bunch of heat in a special kind of sand that just stores the heat well and then they can reuse it later. What if that works? It's not ordinary sand. There's some kind of special sand but not that rare. So what if that works? I love the idea of using dirt for a battery. Special sand.

But Finland also has a project, make a gravity battery. So the first kind just stores heat which can then be converted to energy but the second kind uses an abandoned mine and a big weight that goes down the mine downhill to create energy because anything moving can be used to harness energy. And then during the day when the energy is cheap they pull it or when I guess at night when the energy is cheap. No it must be during the day because they're using solar. They'll pull the weight up the mine and then when they need the energy they'll let it go back down.

So two different technologies in Finland. Kind of promising.

All right York University, we'll get to the political news. I just, there's fun science today. They said the best case scenario for the highest life satisfaction. So they looked at different demographics and lifestyles and they found out that the happiest people are this. You're married, happy. This is for women I think specifically for women. You're married. You're happy with your personal appearance because the thing they found is that your appearance has more to do with your overall happiness than almost anything. And if you've got excellent health and consider yourself upper class you're most likely to be happy.

Huh. Well now that's completely surprising. People who are in a good marriage, good health, good looking and good social life and also lots of money, either upper or a class. Now somehow quite surprisingly they're happier than other people. Now who saw that coming? Who saw that coming? Huh. I don't know. Well let's add this to you could have asked Scott. I think I could have told you this and saving a bunch of money.

Yeah well there's new robot restaurants. A vegan restaurant. One of the founders of Chipotle I guess or the founder he's experimenting with it and it's got a big robot arm and it only has three staff members because the robot does a lot of the work. And it kind of makes sense to make a vegan restaurant with robots because if you're a vegan you don't like to be around a lot of meat and the employees are made of meat almost entirely. A little bit of bones but mostly meat. And so you can get rid of a lot of the meat including the food as well as the employees with that robot.

Now here's something that's been my biggest pet peeve so much so I even tried to start a startup at one point to fix it. The amount of work to buy food, bring it home, prepare it, store it, put it in my mouth and clean up is crazy. It's crazy. And the expense of it all. How many times a potato has to change hands before it gets in my stomach. Do you know how much work a potato has to do to get into my body? A lot of work.

So I would like to see robots take the whole concept of getting food into my body and make it a lot easier. So this might be a working step in the right direction. How many of you have largely given up on cooking an actual meal every night rather just grab a sandwich or something? Have any of you just said this is just crazy I'm not going to make a meal every night? I just wonder is it common because it's been a long time since I was in any kind of family situation where there was like a family meal. You know part of it is a school thing because nobody's available at the same time. You can't have a family meal if the kids are always doing an activity. Yeah yeah I think the whole idea of the family dinner has sort of disappeared for maybe half of the country or more.

Well the military is going to go hard in drones. They're going to make a thousand drones for the Air Force and I guess one of the big uses of the drones would be to escort our human planes like the B-21 and the F-35. I guess you all saw that coming but the big story is it's happening fast and as soon as they put AI in there we're all dead. I think we all know that because we saw the movie.

All right Elon Musk has a good quote today that I think sums up everything. He said trying to help people, well it's not his own quote he just posted it, trying to help people understand what's going on right now is like going back into a burning building to pull someone out only to have them keep punching you in the face and demand evidence that the building is on fire even after they admit they can see the flames.

Doesn't that feel like what it is? It literally feels like the world is burning and when you talk to people say hey the world is burning you know can we help you out they'll say I'm fine and they'll say can you see the flames? Yeah yeah what's going on here? Why do you not want to get away from the flames? What's going on? And I would say that the shorter version of this is cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is when you have created a let's say a decision around who you believe you are. You're a nice person so you must back nice things for example. Then you find out the nice thing isn't so nice and you don't want to change your mind because you like to be consistent.

So I do think a big part of the problem is people are not seeing the obvious because it's hard.

Well Bitcoin is zooming up again. Is it still up this morning? It was zooming. What does it tell us that Bitcoin is zooming? Number one it's probably something about non-trusting governments because if I thought that the dollar was going to stay useful forever I would own a lot less Bitcoin. So I think Bitcoin is a vote against the government being effective in the long run.

But you also have the ETFs that are getting approved. I guess Great Britain's looking at it too. So a lot of people who would not have touched Bitcoin are now seeing it as an essential part of their portfolio. So as people just add it for diversification it'll become valuable.

Now how many of you remember for the past two years I've been telling you that Bitcoin makes sense for diversification because at some point the ETFs are likely to add it you know unless something surprising happened and here we are. So the ETFs meaning the funds are adding it and if the funds have to add it they're going to be gigantic purchases which drives up the price and that's what you're seeing among other animal spirits. It's a lot of psychology in it.

Well my theme for the rest of the show is the enemy is inside the house. The enemy is us. That's the theme. See if I can tie this together.

Story number one according to Fox News the January 6 committee allegedly suppressed testimony showing Trump administration tried to get National Guard presence on January 6. Now Liz Cheney who was part of that January 6 committee says that's flatly false but Liz Cheney is the least credible person in the world. I think if I knew nothing other than Fox News says it's true and Liz Cheney says it's not true who would you believe if the only thing you knew is Fox News versus Liz Cheney? Which side do you take?

Well the news is not the most reliable thing in the world but Liz Cheney is the least reliable thing in the world. Now I think this will be one where there's going to be some question about whether or not it was really suppressed or whether she thought it wasn't important and the committee thought it wasn't important so it wasn't that it was suppressed it was misinterpreted. It's going to be one of those stories but since nothing that Liz Cheney says is anything but ridiculous partisan bile I think there's a greater chance that Fox News has the story right in this case.

There's a fund called Avanza which because it uses ESG, ESG is you know the standard where you make sure that you're doing good by the environment and you're hiring diverse staff etc. And one of the companies that didn't do well in the rankings and therefore Avanza decided they could not put money into it and you may have heard that this company is called Nvidia. Nvidia yeah.

So there's a company that has actual US people's money in it that said Nvidia you know this might be something we'd invest in except for they're weak on ESG. So do you think the problem is the World Economic Forum like ESG? This a problem coming from all them strange talking foreigners with their accents and stuff and making people go to Davos? Or could it be that Americans are taking it too seriously and that's really the problem? Don't we have the option of rejecting it? Don't we? We can't just say no?

Well I would say this problem is coming from inside the house. If you were an investor in this Avanza fund and you found out that they didn't invest in the number one best stock of all time so far, who knows what'll happen after this, Nvidia, and it was because of weak ESG I think you'd have to say the problem's coming from inside the house.

Well Mike Lindell is going to get his day in the Supreme Court. I'm surprised actually. I don't know exactly what it is but I think it's about election claims. Says he's been waiting three years for it and he says quote the evidence we're going to drop you're going to see on Friday is the most explosive you've ever seen. We're talking Kraken people. Kraken all over the place.

Now I will give you my generic warning that if a hundred claims are made about the 2020 election being rigged you can guarantee that 95% of them are false at the minimum. It could be 100% but at minimum 95% are going to be false. I said that on the first day and lots and lots of times after it and it's been true so far.

Now does that mean that there aren't a bunch of real claims that will turn out to be explosive? It doesn't mean that. 5% of the claims would still be a lot of claims and you only need one to be right for the whole election to be different than it came out. So it only takes one. You only need one and everything is different than what you thought it was.

So do we have one? Well if you follow the Rasmussen account almost every single day for weeks and weeks and months and years actually I think they've been showing you evidence that sure looks credible but there's always that extra level of verification. It's like got to hear what the other side says.

So do you think the Supreme Court would have taken the case if there was nothing to it? So I'm not sure if he's going to make election claims or some other kind of claims we don't know. But if we live in a simulation and if the Trump story is going to look like a three-part movie play which it seems like it's shaping up to do there's going to be there has to be the magic point where Trump is right about the 2020 election being rigged.

Now I don't personally have any proof that that's the case that it was rigged personally. I wouldn't know. I would have no way of knowing. But if it's a movie it feels like every single indication, the cat's on the roof, Mike Lindell is going to the Supreme Court, you know there's court cases pending that have been delayed for reasons we don't understand or ballots that are apparently according to witnesses are fake ballots and they're locked in a room and they won't be unlocked but we don't know why there's a delay. So there's a whole bunch of things. Any one of them could be the Kraken.

So you know the Kraken would be the alleged big proof that the election was rigged. We haven't seen it yet to my satisfaction but I would say all the indications are it's coming. I've never seen more foreshadowing for anything in my life. Now it doesn't guarantee that there's something out there that's corrupt and it doesn't guarantee that if there is we never see it but it sure feels like it is. Everybody having the same feeling that it just feels like between now and November something's going to break on that story about the 2020 election. I don't know if I'd put money on it but it sure feels like it. Just things are getting that way.

All right MSNBC is reporting that Joe Biden said and I quote every time he hears Trump speak he gets juiced up. He gets juiced up whenever he hears Trump speak. Well I think I need to hear more about that juice because I think Kamala Harris is juiced up every time she hears Trump speak. I don't know if it's the same juice. Could be a different juice but whatever juice they're pumping into Biden might be a different juice they're pumping into Kamala but they seem pretty juiced up to me.

All right speaking of Rasmussen they did a poll. Says 35% of likely US voters say that if Trump wins this year's election they would support Democrats in Congress refusing to certify the election results. Is that the best? That's just the best poll. I love the fact that Rasmussen even asked that question. It's just perfect because 35% saying that it wouldn't certify a Trump victory.

Now keep in mind that the question does not suggest that there might have been something wrong with the election. So the question does not say if you suspected there was something wrong with the election would you be against certifying it? No it just says would you be against certifying it just if he wins. So there might be some assumptions embedded in people's answers as in they might assume that that means it's rigged but that would sound a lot like the MAGA people wouldn't it?

What percentage of the country do you think are MAGA Republicans? Go. What percentage of the country are MAGA Republicans? 35. Was that high? 35% I think that's about the number of Republicans and the number of Trump-leaning Republicans is pretty close. So basically it looks like there are a few more people who would support the Democrats doing exactly what the Republicans tried to do except that the Republicans weren't trying to do that were they?

Do you think the January 6 people were trying to prevent certification? Well it kind of depends what you mean by that. If prevent means permanently prevent that's not what the January 6ers asked for. They did not ask for it to be permanently prevented. They wanted a delay to make sure it was a good election. But these Democrats don't say anything about a delay. 35% of voters which will include some apparently that would include some Republicans. I don't know how many. Not many probably. They would refuse to certify.

So I guess there's no moral argument left. And let me say again the problem's coming from inside the house. Yeah it's inside the house.

Well something called the Academy Awards happened last night which apparently is some kind of celebration of movies that I would not watch because they're all terrible. I could I recognized zero movies that were nominated and I have no intention of seeing any of them because the more likely it is to get an award the less likely it's good entertainment because it means they packed it with crap.

But let's there number of stories that came out of it. Number one some guy named Jonathan Glazer got up there and he got rupar'd. Rupar'd is when you get taken out of context so part of your comments are removed to make it very different from what he actually intended. So let me tell you what he said and then I'll tell you how he got rupar'd.

He said and by the way I'm not agreeing I'm not agreeing with what he's saying I'm just telling you what he said. He said right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation that has led to conflict for so many innocent people. So his framing is that the Israel occupying that territory so he would call it occupying others would call it something else is basically it makes them feel bad because their Jewishness and the Holocaust are being cheapened. So basically he's saying that Jews and this big idea of the Holocaust are being cheapened by what's happening there.

That got taken out of context. Now just to be clear I'm not saying he said something I agree with and then they reversed it. I'm not saying that but he did get taken out of context. So they dropped the second part where he says being hijacked by an occupation and it got reported as right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust. No they were not refuting their Jewishness and the Holocaust but that's how it got reported on social media by a lot of people that you follow probably.

Now what he did say might be equally odd and terrible to the people who are his critics but it wasn't what he said. Just to be clear that wasn't what he said.

Interestingly you know we always you always hear people saying that Hollywood is run by Jews. I'm not saying that that's a common meme you hear yet. It seemed like the biggest theme was pro-Hamas. How do you explain that? How do you get a job? So a number of the people who went to the Oscars were wearing pro-ceasefire messages. So a lot of them were pro-ceasefire.

Now if you were Jewish there's a good chance that you interpret pro-ceasefire, not everybody of course everybody's different, but there would be a lot of Jewish people who would say that if you're pro-ceasefire you're kind of pro-Hamas because that's what they're asking for. It's literally what they're asking for and you know that would give you the problem of how do you solve it in the long run if you do a ceasefire.

So how do the actors who are pro-ceasefire ever get work again? Is that going to be a problem? Or has something happened in Hollywood? They just opposed the whole town where the town is full of Jewish actors and Jewish managers etc. But they've all gone to or have a substantial number of them turned into ceasefire supporters which would feel to many like Hamas supporters. I don't know. I feel like Hollywood has done every single thing they can to destroy their own industry. So the wokeness made it terrible to watch and movies are boring in general because other things are just more exciting these days and faster and get to the point faster. So movies are like a dead art form in my opinion.

But then they add this thing like why do the Hollywood actors think that they need to be making comments about Israel during the Academy Awards? Like where did they get that idea? You can't separate those a little bit anyway.

Jimmy Kimmel was the host. He was pretty cringey according to people who don't like him but according to the wild seal-like clapping in the audience to his bad jokes when he made fun of Trump being up past his jail time and then the audience wondered oh Trump in jail were you so happy? Were you so happy Trump in jail? So it was disgusting on that level that they were cheering for an innocent man to go to jail. Innocent would be my opinion. Innocent till proven guilty.

And then the biggest surprise of all apparently there were guidelines for the Academy Awards and movies. Well guidelines for movies. So the guidelines for movies were to include a lot of diversity and they had pretty specific guidelines of make sure you've got at least two from this group and etc. And then after all that pro-diversity stuff let's see how it went. Pachy Keenan is reporting this on X. Best picture went to well that was an all-white cast right? Probably an anomaly. The best supporting actor went to oh white guy. Best actor though went to well that was white guy. However the best actress went to well a white woman but not to feel bad because the best director went to well white guy and but at least to redeem the best director for short films went well white guy.

So a lot of white people won stuff. I'm not complaining about it I'm just saying how the hell did that happen? Does Hollywood have some kind of a weird self-hatred internal revolution that's going on? Is there a civil war in Hollywood? I don't know what's going on. I have no idea.

Also the best supporting actress to a white woman. Do you all know Shaun King who is famous as a black activist who many of his critics say Shaun you don't even look black. I don't even think you're black. So that's one part of his story but apparently he's upped the ante and he's become he's embraced Islam. So as of yesterday Shaun King is a Muslim. So he's a black Muslim. So that's good.

So I don't want to say that Shaun King is the poor man's Andrew Tate but I really do so I'm gonna say it. Shaun King is the poor man's Andrew Tate. I just like saying people are the poor man's something. It's always funny. It's never not funny.

All right meanwhile Trump was posting on Truth during the Academy Awards and Jimmy Kimmel actually read his post live. Here's what it was from Trump on Truth. He said has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars? His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something he is not and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent George Stephanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger stronger and more glamorous.

And he says after a really bad politically correct show tonight and for years disjointed boring and very unfair why don't they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them? Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. Make America great again.

Trump is never not funny. It's like he doesn't have the capability to not be funny if you like his whole act right. If you hate him you hate him.

Let's talk about ABC News. George Stephanopoulos who you know as Stephanopoulos. So he got into it with Nancy Mace Republican on the show and it was fascinating because they both are so both of them are really good with media right. George Stephanopoulos obviously great understanding of media and how to use it but a biased partisan for Democrats. Nancy Mace same thing. Super good at all media things. You know the camera loves her. Lots of good quotes and stuff. So these are two people who really understand how the media works.

Do you know what people do when somebody who really understands the media and is partisan interviews somebody else who really understands the media and is partisan? Well it was kind of hilarious because Nancy Mace kept trying to frame the questions from Stephanopoulos as quote trying to shame a rape victim which she repeated over and over and over again. Meanwhile Stephanopoulos was framing as the jury found Trump liable for rape which didn't happen in the real world by the way. But also what didn't happen in the real world is Stephanopoulos trying to shame Nancy Mace as a rape victim.

So both of them just continually repeated their claims which were ridiculous. They're both ridiculous but they're both so smart about the media that they know that all that mattered is what they repeated. So they were actually in just not even in the same conversation and neither of them cared to fix it. You have to say it was fascinating. There you might if you were a little less let's say informed about how things work it would look like two people who couldn't have a conversation or somebody avoiding a question or somebody asking illegitimate questions and trying to score points. That's sort of the old way to look at it.

But if you understand that the two people are brilliant at handling media events, brilliant I mean they're top 1% easily, then you understand that they know that the audience can't follow an argument. The audience can't follow any complicated argument so what you can do is just repeat over and over something you want them to hear.

So if you were a pro-Nancy Mace and you spent any one second looking at that video you'd say man I hate that Stephanopoulos guy to quote Trump. He's trying to shame a rape victim. I watched the whole thing. Nothing like that happened. Not even a little bit. At the same time did the jury find Trump for rape? Nope completely made up but he wants everybody to think that happened.

So what did happen? Well Byron York tries to explain what the jury did find and I think you can join me in saying what. All right so here's Byron York trying to explain it. He said in fact the jury specifically found Trump not liable for rape. It found him liable for quote sexual abuse. The judge later tried to spin the decision citing laws that did not apply. Okay according to Byron York laws did not apply to argue that the jury implicitly found Trump liable for rape.

I don't even know what that sentence means like I understand it as English but like what's it really mean in the real world? How in the world does a judge cite a law that doesn't exist to argue that the jury found in their own minds they were thinking something other than what they said? But I guess something like that happened. You know Byron York is very credible in his analyses.

In the absence of an actual jury finding of rape the judge guessed that the jury's decision necessarily implies rape. Do you understand why Nancy Mace would not want to get into a decision about the details? Because you can't you can't explain the story in the details. You could read that sentence like 15 times and go I'm not exactly sure what. Do any of you even understand that issue that the judge used a law that doesn't exist to read the minds of the jury? What anyway so those are two good media pros at work.

Did you know that apparently half of the country is unaware according to recent survey that the non-documented non-citizens get counted in the census? Now you might say to yourself well so what the census is just trying to figure out who's here so they're here might as well count them. So what? You might not remember is that the census is in part and maybe largely the main reason is to figure out how many representatives are applicable.

So if they can, they being the Democrats, if they can pump up areas with extra non-citizens then the census when it rolls around will say hey you need some extra representatives because you got some extra people. Those extra representatives would allow the Democrats to have a majority and rule forever as kings and queens.

The Trump administration I guess tried to get citizenship to be the only valid answer on the census you know so that it didn't have this distorting effect and Musk is pointing that out. Elon Musk. And it's obvious that this is, isn't it obvious to you that this is all intentional? I mean that's what Musk is saying. It's obviously intentional to pump up the power of the Democrats at any cost and the any cost would be extra crime etc. and cost.

So you think the problem is the immigrants right? Do you think the problem is the migrants? Do you think the problem is the cartel? Do you think the problem is George Soros? Well to me it looks like the problem is coming from inside the house because none of those things would matter if the Democrats didn't want it to happen because we would just have stronger laws etc.

So the problem with migration is coming entirely from inside and it's intentional because if a system continues to give you one kind of output and you don't change it that must be the output you want because you do have the ability to change it. So we must assume that this plot to increase power at the cost of American citizens is exactly what it looks like.

Speaking of things that are exactly what they look like do you remember me saying the only explanation for why we're not doing anything useful about fentanyl and about the border must be that the cartel is on our side? Now when I say our side I mean must be working with American power interests otherwise we would stop it.

And then Mike Benz who has more information than I do I was just looking at the system and saying hey if the system keeps giving you the same result and the government has the ability to change it but does nothing that must be the result they want and therefore they must be working with the cartels to control Mexico and Central America.

But I was just talking through my ass based on the system. All I did was look at the output. I simply looked at the output and said all right if nobody's trying very hard to change it they must want it. What could be the possible explanation for wanting this? And the only explanation is that we're the ones doing it. If it were coming only from the outside as a risk to Americans we would have stopped it somehow but we're not even trying in a way that looks like trying. You know there's little stuff but not really.

So Mike Benz says that the reason that the Department of Defense, CIA in the State and Department of Homeland Security they all tried to stop Trump from building a border wall because as Mike Benz says if we lose the cartels we lose Latin America. That's right we need the cartels for America to have control over the governments of other countries because the only way we can control the governments is to control the cartels because the cartels control the governments.

So basically we are consciously, we meaning these groups of three-letter people, are consciously allowing 100,000 people to die from overdoses and consciously allowing us to be overrun with crime and migrants because it gives us control over the other countries.

Now is that a bad decision? I'm going to surprise you because it surprised me but as you know I've been probably one of the most vocal critics about the border as well as fentanyl and not doing enough about it because in my opinion it was a contributing factor to my stepson's overdose and so I was really really mad at the government for seeing the problem much like Elon Musk points out you can see the flames why are you not trying to put them out? And that was really frustrating to have a death in the family that looked like it could have been maybe if not preventable there could have been a lot more that could have been done and then not to watch nothing being done was like the worst most painful feeling you could imagine that I couldn't stop it from happening to somebody else's kid. I mean really that's all you have left. All you have left when you lose your own kid is you can make something good out of it you know you try to turn it into a positive anything. So you know maybe you do a charity. A lot of people would do stuff like that.

I thought my role would be to try to persuade tougher action against Mexico for the fentanyl specifically. I can now see that that's a waste of energy. I can now see that this was a conscious tradeoff and a better way to see the death of all of the young people and other people dying from fentanyl is that they're effectively like conscripts. In other words it's like having a draft except the draft is based on who got addicted. So the people who got addicted are essentially war casualties because the war in this case is to control the other countries by working with the cartels productively to do that and the expense of that just like the expense of any war would be the soldiers you lose and the soldiers in this case didn't sign up for it except they kind of did.

You know what if you're an addict you didn't sign up to die and you didn't sign up to fight the cartels but you did sign up for something that was going to put you in the middle of that mix and you did sign up for something that gave you a pretty good risk of dying and it is true that people consciously put themselves in that situation. And so I've actually had a change of opinion that when you know it's coming from inside the house meaning that the drugs coming into the country are America's choice then I see it as basically a forced conscription like a draft except that the addicts who became were the ones who paid for the war. They pay for it literally by buying the drugs and it looks like our three-letter agencies probably share some of that and use it for bad gains.

But yeah so my stepkid was killed in this war he didn't know he was in. So there's that. And I actually feel different about it now because the thing I don't know is if we're better off. I don't know if we're better off as a country by controlling Central and South America. If we're doing it just for money or something then of course it's the height of evil but if we're doing it because people who are a lot smarter than me say you know if we don't do this it's going to be way worse. It's going to be way worse if we don't do it because they'll just Central and South America will have I don't know economic problems with a bad government and dictators will bring in Chinese rockets you know all kinds of problems.

So I don't know. I try to be a realist and I say obviously I didn't want my stepson to die but he didn't die the way I thought he did. The way I thought he did was there were too many drugs and he took some. It looks like the drugs are intentional. It's the way they fund their control of other countries and that effectively he was a conscript. He just didn't know. Or you might say he was a volunteer but he didn't know he was volunteering for that.

Well what about those gangs in Haiti? As you know the government is in I don't know disappeared during some other country. The leader I guess the leader was put in by some kind of CIA FBI plot according to also Mike Benz and the president was assassinated largely by our spooks plus who they worked with in that country who were probably not good people and then the bad people took over and then emptied the jails released the prisoners and now the reports are that there are cannibal gangs that are going around eating people and the streets are just pure crime and violence.

Now a lot of people are saying do you remember when Trump called these other countries shithole countries and people said you can't say that? Well I'm not going to call them a shithole country because I've learned that that is an inappropriate thing to say. So Haiti is not a shithole country. It is merely a country with no functional economy or government in which the streets are ruled by criminal gangs and cannibalism is becoming a national problem but not a shithole. Not now.

That's the bad news. Here's the good news. The good news is that the cannibals in Haiti have a better diet than most Americans and they're getting a good protein source not a lot of additives and the reports are there are very few chronic illnesses in Haiti among the cannibals. So the American diet as you know will give you a lot of chronic illnesses. RFK Jr. will tell you that for sure. But in Haiti they've got a cleaner protein. They're just eating each other and no chronic illness. It's carnivore diet.

But then other people are saying but hey Scott don't joke about this because those Haiti gangs are going to come to America. The cannibals are going to come here and start eating Americans. And I'm not sure that's a problem because if we just sort of lock ourselves indoors the cannibals are going to end up eating people around doors so they're going to eat a lot of homeless people probably eat a lot of the Venezuelan prisoners that were released. So if we get the cannibals to eat the Venezuelan prisoners that came up from Venezuela that could be a plus.

So in the short run two plans. Short run you get the Haiti cannibals to eat the other migrants but eventually that's not going to work because if the cannibals stay here in America long enough apparently the microplastics in the water will cause them to lose their health and vigor and they might lose all of their cannibalistic urges because they'll mostly be playing video games and masturbating like Americans and they just won't have the energy. They'll probably just DoorDash like everybody else. They'll be like well I could go kill a homeless person and eat them because I'm a cannibal or I could just DoorDash play video games and masturbate. So in the long run I wouldn't worry about it. It'll take care of itself.

Meanwhile there's a study in Great Britain that says that the water is so polluted that the men's sperm count is going down and they're shooting blanks. This is coming from Sir Tim Smith who is 69. They have to tell you so I don't that just seemed a story about sperm and they got to tell us that the guy's age is 69. I don't know why. Do we need to know that? Why do we need to know that anyway?

The UK's rivers and seas are so packed with chemicals that all the men are turning into hermaphrodites and frogs are gay and stuff something like that. But so yeah that's another example of the problems coming from inside the house.

Meanwhile in the city of Pittsburgh they're cutting back on the police responses. So between 3:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. no police will show up if you report certain kinds of things like theft, harassment, criminal mischief and burglary alarms. Well I'm not so sure you need the police in all those situations so that might actually make sense. We'll see.

Let's talk about TikTok. As you know Trump was against it but now he's for it because his biggest donor has like I don't know $30 billion invested in ByteDance. So the biggest donor looks like he bought off at least Trump and Vivek and maybe Rand Paul and maybe Thomas Massie maybe others.

And there are reports one lawmaker told the publication Semafor they had been personally threatened by a that a yes vote to ban TikTok could result in political retaliation. They said it would be bad for your future and you'll get millions of dollars dropped in your head meaning you know for your opponent. So that's what's happening.

So if you thought that the risk of TikTok was coming from China it was not. It was coming from an American investor who has so much money that he can essentially buy the loyalty of Trump and Vivek and Rand Paul and Thomas Massie apparently. Now I'll just say allegedly because you can't read anybody's minds but that's what it looks like.

And if you want to make sure that's not the case what you would do is you'd listen to Vivek and you'd make sure that he knew what the critical problem was which is the persuasion threat. So you could find out if he's bought off or he's lying by whether or not he says he understands the greatest threat.

So here's an update. So if Vivek says yes yes I understand the threat of TikTok is a persuasion threat then maybe he's got an honest opinion but if he ignores the persuasion threat and talks about things like data and children spending too much time on it then you'd know he's bought off in my opinion. Right can't read his mind but that would be the indication.

So let's see what he says. Listen for what reasons does he give why TikTok is bad. President Trump just came out against a legislative measure that would require the owner of TikTok to divest. It's currently a Chinese owner a company called ByteDance or else that it would be banned in the United States. President Trump just came out opposing that. I think that's the right decision actually of President Trump to oppose that legislation because it doesn't make any sense and I've long said this even late in the campaign took a lot of heat from fellow Republicans.

Give reasons. I think we have to ask ourselves the why and this is the problem with professional politicians. Trump is not a professional politician and neither am I but many people in professional politics they look at what they're supposed to say and they act like billiard balls on a pool table they go in whatever direction they're hit without thinking about the actual. Don't really need the analogy just Republican party give us a reason.

Let's take a step back and ask about the why of what's going on here. What you get to it concern that people have with TikTok? What problem? It kids not just TikTok that applies to a bunch of other social media platforms. Can you tell us? And that is an issue we need to tackle. Why don't you get to it? I do think there should be age-based restrictions on using addictive social media. Okay that's not the point. Specific point yeah this point about relates to a different concern. Oh here it comes. The use and provision of data, US user data potentially to the Chinese Communist Party and I think that is a major concern. It's not the major concern it's a major. Isn't limited to just TikTok or even Chinese-owned companies in the US. Here it comes it expands to include even so-called US companies that are still beholding to the CCP because they do business in China.

Here's an example. A couple of years ago there was good Wall Street Journal reporting this is all by the way Airbnb not the issue. US company supposedly US company at least was dat the CCP not the issue for doing business. Yeah it's also bad but it's not the big issue. Jal Sean Joyce the chief privacy officer of Airbnb resigned over that because it wasn't properly disclosed to the public and one of Airbnb's co-founders reported. Come on let's talk about persuasion. To promote American values and the big problem is what's the big problem? Put a little black square on their Instagram the problem. Matter that virtue signaling aside this is what they say behind closed doors. It's not just Airbnb though it applies to countless other US companies. We have to ask ourselves the why the why. Why are you getting to the point? Real concern we ought to have is the provision of US consumer and user data to the Chinese Communist. Not the point. Get the point. Against come on ban US companies from providing US user data. Tell us. Persuasions me of the say it but it is beyond silly to just pick one randomly and go after them because that is temporarily a politically popular divers actually failing to solve the actual problem the companies and US companies alike including the US companies that do business in China.

Now here's the real problem with the Republican Party is when it has its head stuck in the sand. This oh now we're going to talk politics without actually talking about the problem. Democrats are all over reaching the next generation of Americans while Republicans are virtue signaling amongst themselves failing to actually bring those new voters along by meeting them at least on the platform that is operating in the United States. Now it's about politics. I became one of the rare Republicans when I was running for president one of the rare Republican candidates who did open a TikTok account. Any questions?

Yeah it's exactly what it looks like. So yeah apparently they were just bought bought off.

Now what Trump says is that he thinks TikTok is a national security threat but he couldn't support Congress banning it because it would boost support for Facebook which he says is the enemy of the people. Now first of all would it boost say Instagram that it's owned by Facebook? Do you think it would boost Instagram because Instagram's a competing service you know they have Reels that are like TikToks I think so probably. But would that make any difference? I don't think it would make enough difference. Is the reason that Facebook is the enemy of the people do they have only barely enough money to be the enemy of the people? Right he's not wrong he's just diverting.

Did you hear me say he was wrong? No I didn't say he's wrong. I said that they were bought off and that they're markedly so. The people who are not bought off are Crawford and well I'll give you some other names but the people who mention persuasion specifically they're not bought off because they know the big problem. If they say persuasion first as the big problem then you could say they're not bought off.

So Facebook has all the money it needs to be the enemy of the people. It wouldn't make any difference if they had a little extra money from some TikTok people coming over. That is obviously not a real reason. Trump is giving you the best reason he can. It's a lie. It's because their big donor owns a big piece of it. So the problem on TikTok is coming from inside the house. Your government apparently will not be there to help you whatsoever on the question of TikTok so it's up to the parents.

Let me check in. You think that Crenshaw said persuasion is the big problem but that he's bought off? Who who's going to pay for that? Who would buy who would buy him off? You have to figure out who would pay for that. Nobody would pay for that.

All right Adam Schiff who still hasn't passed the uncanny valley problem where you don't look like a human. You look at him and you go I don't even know if I'm looking at a human. Is that a human being anyway? Schiff and John Brennan are saying the same message. What's that tell you? If Adam Schiff and John Brennan both go on TV and say the same thing about Trump what do you know about the thing they said? They are literally the hoax team. The hoax team is Clapper Brennan Schiff Swalwell Raskin right and others. But if you see them working together on any Trump related thing it's a hoax. It's what they do. They don't send these guys out for the true stuff because the stuff you don't need hoaxers. They save the hoaxers for just hoaxes.

So as soon as you see that Brennan and Schiff said the same thing which is that the intel people probably won't give President Trump as a candidate or maybe even in office the good stuff on the intelligence briefings because they don't trust him with all of his boxes at Mar-a-Lago. They don't explain why it was okay that Biden had a bunch of boxes but they say that they'll probably leave out quote the sources and methods because they're afraid that Trump would give the sources and methods away to somebody.

Now here's my question. Why would you ever tell a president the sources and methods whether it's Trump or somebody else? Isn't that exactly what you shouldn't tell somebody who's not deep into the secret part of the government? I think the secret part of the government should say here's what we know and then when they say how do you know it you know you can say something general but should you be giving sources and methods? Should you? It seems like it should never be written down but if the president asks for it don't you think they should answer as in how do we know this is true? And they could say something like well we have human intelligence sources that we trust and they've been right before. Is that something that's going to give away the store? Most of these are kind of obvious how we get you know it's either a human or intelligence or something.

But anyway so I have a question whether any president ever got something that secret the sources and methods except for the generic stuff. So I don't even think the issue is real but when you see Brennan and Schiff on it it means that they're part of a hoax to make it seem that Trump is uniquely untrustworthy with information. It's just part of a narrative.

There's a video that I saw in the Maz account Maz on X shows President Obama in 2009 talking about immigration and saying we can't have a million people pouring over the border half a million pouring over the border which is what we have per year or more and seven years later Obama's position is considered racist and xenophobic by Democrats.

Now do you see that none of our national opinions are real? Can you see that opinions are just assigned? I always tell you that and I think you say to yourself well not to me. I mean some other people might get their opinions assigned to them but you know that doesn't apply to a thinking person like myself. But no the Democrats were told in 2009 that you can't have a half a million people pouring over the border that'd be bad and Obama said it and the news said it so Democrats said it too. And then when everything changed for no good reason and suddenly those people are pouring over the border suddenly it would be racist and xenophobic to point out that that was ever a bad idea and that was immediately adopted by Democrats.

Is there any question in your mind that our opinions on politics are just assigned to us? There's nobody who thought this through. Do you think there a bunch of Democrats who got new information since 2009? It's like you know in 2009 with the information we were working with we did think it was bad for half a million people to come across the border but now that we're seeing it happen all the information suggests it's a great idea. Do you think that happened? No no the news told them what to think and then they thought it. That's all that happened.

Well let's talk about Israel going into Rafah. As you know Biden said that was going to be a red line. Now a red line let me define what a red line means. A red line is something you say but then you ignore because it doesn't really mean anything in the real world apparently unless you're Putin. Putin actually acts on red lines that's why you have Ukraine. But again I guess we just use it as a word it doesn't mean anything.

So Biden said it would be a red line if Israel goes into Rafah while there are still civilians there of which there are and Netanyahu said hey we're going to do whatever we need to do we're going into Rafah. So are you surprised? To me this looks like good cop bad cop business. It doesn't look real. Do you think that Biden really wants Israel not to go into Rafah? Do you think that's his actual opinion? It could be might actually be but I feel like this is just obvious good cop bad cop business because the United States wants to act like you know we're the reasonable brokers and you know we're the control on Israel that they don't go too far and you know but we're a little bit on both sides you know we're going to give aid to both sides.

And given that we know Netanyahu was absolutely definitely going to do what he was going to do no matter what we said it kind of made sense for Biden to oppose it. So I might surprise you here too. Biden doing that fake red line and saying don't go into Rafah is actually probably good politics. It's probably good politics. I just don't think he means it because he knows it doesn't make any difference and Netanyahu is going to do whatever he wants but probably good.

But speaking of which I should also mention that if Vivek and Trump are just being political it's probably good politics. So the question about TikTok and banning it if it's true and I don't know that this is true but it could be and I think it's likely it's true if it's true that TikTok was never going to be banned because it just would never get the votes then there's no point in Vivek and Trump being on a losing side right? If they know it's going to lose you might as well be on the side that says hey I'm not I'm no dictator I'm not going to ban this free speech.

So it looks like Trump and Vivek have found the political sweet spot which is you act like you're in favor of free speech but you have to you have to lie through your teeth about what you understand about the risk of TikTok. So they're obviously lying through their teeth.

Laura Trump as you know is the co-chair of the RNC now and people saying there's some good indications there so she's going strong to suggest Republicans work hard for ballot harvesting the legal kind the legal kind not any illegal stuff but everybody understood that if you don't ballot harvest like crazy you can't win in today's environment. So at least she's fighting fire with fire and you know I heard some of you being skeptical about her as the person in this job. I actually have a really high opinion of her you know just from a little bit of interaction. She's interviewed me a few times and every time I see her she just looks like such a put together serious capable person you know just in general and I guess she's going to utilize Scott Pressler as well who everybody who likes him knows that that's a good idea.

So Pressler is apparently a superstar for registering Republicans to vote and why wouldn't you use your superstar? It's been puzzling that he wasn't didn't have a higher profile because he obviously knows how to do this work. So two indications that Laura is not only right for the job but already on it and doing some positive things.

There's a report that said Trump when he met with Musk wanted him to speak at the Republican National Convention. CNBC is saying that that didn't happen. Now actually let me revise that it might have happened because you know doesn't know to ask but Musk is never going to speak at the Republican National Convention. Who takes that seriously really? Do any of you think that he would be dumb enough to speak for one of the two major political parties when he's trying to sell cars to everybody? Of course not. Of course not. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. He's like one of the smartest guys in the world and CNBC is reporting it like you know maybe he'd be mulling over doing the dumbest thing in the world. The dumbest thing in the world would be to give a speech at one of the party's conventions. Nothing would be dumber than that and he'd be doing extra work to be doing the dumbest thing. No that's not gonna happen.

Scott Pressler is actually on the road getting signed up. Yeah I don't know how he gets funded but he's doing the work. Yeah Musk has to depend on the government liking him for a lot of his businesses that's true.

All right is there any story I missed? And did I make my case that the problem is coming from inside the house? TikTok problem inside the house. Border problem coming from inside the house. Yep.

Oh it's funny I can tell people who don't know anything about me by whether they believe the 4chan hoax about my pandemic beliefs. I live in this weird world where anybody who follows me knows I had the best predictions about the pandemic by far and nobody was even close. I just nailed that thing but 4chan reversed it and made it look like I get everything wrong. So some percentage of the planet thinks I'm the worst ever when it was probably the best prediction performance of all time. By the way I do take some credit and also tell you when I get some things wrong because I think that's fair. Otherwise you know since what I do here is make predictions I should tell you when I get them wrong and I should tell you when I get them right.

Peter Navarro got four months in prison. Oh my God. Pittsburgh yeah we talked about that. There are some people never saw 4chan but the hoax started there so if you heard somebody who believed it then you got it from somebody who got it from 4chan.

Scott millions of people have built businesses on TikTok they'll have their lives ruined if it's banned. True. Yeah there's nothing that's free. I'm looking at the people who fell for it. They're trying they're trying to redeem themselves.

Here's one. Clot failed on COVID and now pretends he didn't. You should be very embarrassed that you fell for a 4chan hoax. Are you aware that I predicted that the vaccinations would not work when it was announced never changed my mind? Were you aware of that? Do you know I was against mandates all the time and I was never in favor of masks and I was part of the activism to get them removed? So anyway you should be embarrassed that you fell for a 4chan hoax.

No I watched your videos. No you didn't. If you watched my videos then you're dumber than you act like because look at the comments. Look at the comments. The other people who watch the videos too will tell you you got everything wrong.

All right some of you want to hate Dan Crenshaw. Well I don't I don't know what other issues you have with him but he's right on TikTok. On TikTok he exactly right. Other things I don't know. Didn't I get the vax? What's that got to do with anything?

So some of you think I got the pandemic wrong because I got the vax. Let me say this clearly for those of you who don't understand. What business is it what I did for my own health? What's that got to do with anybody and how do you know I didn't make the right decision? Because if you believe anything about data about the pandemic you're an idiot. Anything that agrees with you or anything that doesn't agree with you there's no data about the pandemic that's reliable.

So there's a school of thought that says that people my age with a comorbidity may have gotten some protection and I don't know if I did but might have and I got as far as I know no negative effects. I'm healthier than I've ever been as far as I can tell and I got to go on great worldwide vacations. Which part was a mistake?

Now you might say but later there might be a problem and then you'd be right but it wouldn't mean I made a mistake. Because let me explain what a lot of you don't understand. We'll put it in easy terms. Let's say there's two paths and one of them has a 90% chance of working and one of them has a 10% chance of working. All right there's two paths let's say and we don't know we just we're just guessing and I've got my reasons you've got your reasons but I take the path where there's a 90% chance of being right but I get unlucky so the 10% kicks in. So there was a 90% chance I'd be right but I wasn't. Somebody else took the path with a 10% chance of being right and they got lucky. What would the person who was a 10% chance of right say after they got lucky? They would say they were geniuses and they would say that I made the wrong choice but I didn't make the wrong choice. I got the wrong outcome.

So if your analytical abilities can't separate the wrong outcome from making the right choice based on statistics then you shouldn't be talking about it. That's pretty basic stuff.

Now some of you also say that you knew it would be bad for you because it was the government and Big Pharma. Nobody trusted that. Not me not anybody. Nobody trusted it. So I waited nine months to see who dropped dead because if I believed it I would have gone first. I waited like nine months. People weren't dropping dead in my age group. If I had been young do you think I would have gotten it? Probably not. If I didn't have a comorbidity asthma and it wasn't a lung disease do you think I would have gotten it? Probably not. Don't know but probably not.

So a lot of you are generalizing from your personal experience to what I should have done with my personal health and that's actually stupid. You can only say that you got a result you liked or that you guessed right but your opinion of what I did for my personal medical situation is first of all you can't know if it worked or not. There's no reliable data. I don't have any outcomes that are bad so far that I'm aware of and I had a great year and you had to stay home. So how did I lose? What where's the part where I'm worse off? Because I don't see it in that story. I see I had more freedom than you and in the long run so far it cost me nothing. Am I wrong? I had more freedom because I was not afraid of the shot after nine months of watching people my age not die from it.

All right that's enough of that. We're done with the pandemic. I'd appreciate it if you never bring up the pandemic again. Yeah it's just too boring. It like it forces me to talk about it and then you know to just correct your misperceptions. I'm just bored with it.

All right so this guy says Scott coming out as pro-vax now. Did you hear that? Did you hear me say pro-vax? Did you hear me say that? I said it wouldn't work and as far as I know it didn't work for most people. Now which part is pro-vax? Are you still unable to hear what I'm saying? You can't handle that level of complexity Lenser or are you just a troll? I can't tell if you're an idiot and or bad hearing comprehension. It's hard to tell. All right we'll just assume you're stupid.

All right that's all for now and grifter they lied yeah you're all off the point. All right that's all for now. I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe I'll have better internet. I doubt it. And thanks for joining.

Ah well I have a technical problem that doesn't allow me to end the stream. What do I do about that? Well I'll probably have to close the browser page and get back.

because it's a dicey world two bars of 5G looking good so far hello locals people piling in hello Owen lots of good news stories today thanks Owen it's your birthday happy birthday well don't mind me I'm going to adjust my Lighting in my shades print my notes while you guys talk to each other guys and gals and non-binaries too something's wrong oh Shades I'll tell you if you ever get a chance to have automated Shades it's the best one button and one two three four Shades go down I'm quite hooked of course if you have automated Shades throughout your house as I do it also means that some of your windows will not be functioning there's always some window where the shade is broken technology it's great all right we're going to print our notes and then we're going to go wild you know I keep expecting I keep expecting these comments oh I can pin some look at that I can bin some comments I got I'm just looking at my features I've never checked out the features looks like a let's see what options do I have here not a lot of options um getness world record for number of sticks of gum in your mouth set by chadf 256 pieces of gum in his mouth at the same time there must be some uh Guinness book of world's records that I've uh oh SHO internet's down forgot I can't print unless I'm on the same network that should work we're going to be talking about all the cannibals and 0 and all the other fun stuff in a minute have four minutes to Showtime have I tried Mastic Gum I've not I tell you having no having the internet go up and down is the biggest tease it because when it comes up it's screaming it's just it goes down every 10 minutes every five or 10 minutes it drops the signal for a few minutes all right what a show it's going to be I wish I were you just so I could watch this show we're going to do the premature zp uh those of you on the non-locals platform probably have never been here early enough to see it uh are you going to talk about that white girl killed by the black girl who slamed her head into the concrete sickening nope I'm not going to talk about that I try to avoid the individual crime stories that people like to make you know generalize to everybody in the world nothing good can come from that we all know the dangers did I see if A's Tik Tock explanation no all right let me let me check out if's Tik Tock explanation well before the show starts all right see do do you think he's going to say something that's going to make me feel feel okay about it oh if only I had internet so my internet worked just long enough to send the signal to the printer so that's good but it's down right now should come up in about 60 seconds all right so looks like I won't be checking out what said I got no internet all right let's see if I can do it on my phone without losing the signal I don't know why I think this would lose the signal but it just seems like it would all right let's spell his name correctly there we go all right what does he say so he all right understanding the actual issues harder V all right here it is opposing that I think president Trump just came out against a legislative measure that would require the owner of Tik Tock to divest it it's currently a Chinese owner a company called bite dance or else that it would be banned in the United States President Trump just came out opposing that watch him not mention pers right decision president Trump to oppose that legislation because it doesn't make any sense and I've long said this even late in the campaign took a lot of heat from fellow Republicans but I think we have to ask ourselves the why and this is the problem with professional politicians president Trump isn't a professional politician and neither am I but many people in professional politics they look at what they're supposed to say and they act like billiard balls on a pool table they go whatever Direction they're hit without thinking about the actual oh he's avoiding the point even in the Republican party no analogies back and ask about the why of what's going on what's what you leave concern that people have with Tik Tok well one is it's an addictive problem in kids no that's not the top problem why don't you mention the top problem and that is an issue we need to tackle but it's not specific to one platform I do think there should be Age based restrictions social media avoiding the problem specific point this point about the dive estimate relates to a different concern watch him avoid the point and provision of data there it is that's not the issue God I am so angry that I ever supported that guy oh my God I'm completely done with him wow wow all right well let's do a show looks like it's time all right good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that I don't even think you can understand all you need for that is CER mugger a glass of tanker chalis tie and the Ken Jugger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee en jooy me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it's going to happen right now go oh that was pretty good I got to admit excellent St all right well um we don't know what's going to happen today in this show because I'm using 5G off my phone to live stream so far so good I've got a solid three bars on my phone um if you've ever tried to get anything repaired at your house lately you've probably run into what could be called the uh the incompetence crisis so I've got exfinity uh internet service which goes out every few minutes in my account don't know why I've had my equipment guy check all of the equipment and isolate it doesn't seem to be on my end Xfinity keeps sending me messages to say oh the problem there's a problem on our end can we send that a tech followed by a message that says there's no problem on our end do you want to cancel the tech followed by the tech will be there soon followed by by there's no problem if you want to cancel it because there's nothing wrong with our Network followed by the tech arriving and saying oh there's plenty wrong with this network nothing wrong with your side but uh I'll change this wire so he changes a wiring somewhere in the external part of my home from the street to the house and then he says it's all working now and then I say how do you know it's working well you can check for yourself it's working and then I said you know the problem is inter mid outages right so showing me that it's working is not actually showing me that it's working because the moment you drive away it's going to quit oh but I changed the thing that was the problem so you can see it's working I told you I isolated the problem and fixed it so you're good to go so as he was driving away the internet failed completely and continues to be worse than it was when he showed up so if you've worked with any technology companies you are aware of what happens next do I have to tell you what happens next easy I will contact them they'll say the problem must be with your internal wiring that we can't service or possibly your equipment I'll call my equipment guy and my inside wiring guy and they'll say I don't see any problem it's got to be in the network and then you're going to say but why don't you look at starlink well I have it's little too slow for my needs and I don't have any other terrestrial internet services that are fast enough so I can't get the good stuff anywhere else so I'm going to use my usual technique which is I'm going to tweet Xfinity until it's their highest priority that's right every single day I G say Xfinity is failing and their internet is it's not working until they decide it's a high enough priority to get it fixed now I don't know what else to do I mean I could call them every day and have them tell them tell me they can't find the problem which basically has been going on for years now do you think this is isolated to Xfinity no as I've told said before I've put in U maybe five different home theater setups you know with complicated AV it's never worked once probably five different companies I give up event and it never gets it never works even the moment they drive away every time so no surprise anyway enough about me there's a uh new indication that uh there were 10, according to Nature a science journal 10,000 studies were retracted in 2023 it's a new record 10,000 studies that passed peer review done by actual scientists got retracted because they were not apparently credible it's a new record so what do you make of that does that tell you that things are worse than ever no if there's one thing I I want to teach you this year is that if somebody tells you a number without a percentage or a percentage without a number it's propaganda or it's BS or it's bad work so when they say that 10,000 studies were retracted and it's a new record is that bad you don't know unless you know the percentage if 10,000 is 1% of all the studies even if it was bigger than the year before because let's say there were just more studies that year um that wouldn't be bad 1% you'd think that was pretty good if it's 75% that's really really bad so even even though this is one of those stories that seems to agree with my preconceived notions that there's a lot of bad studies uh hearing the number without the ratio and not knowing if that's a big or a small percentage is useless how many of you this is just a little check for you how many of you knew before I told you that when I said there are 10,000 retractions and it's a new record how many of you immediately said that's not actually telling me anything how many of you knew that the moment you heard it because that's what you should be doing I'm trying to I'm trying to get you to the point that the moment you hear the raw number without the percentage or the percentage without the raw number you can't believe anything else that happens after that yeah so be alert there's also a study some researchers said that the after school activities for kids you know they're all packed up with tutoring and sports and music and clubs and stuff like that they say that it's not really helping them because the kids are so basically filled with stuff all day that that last hour of stuff is not really helping them they're basically full by the time they get done with school their heads are full now did they need to do some research on this or could they have saved some money and just ask me because asking me would have gotten you the same result Scott do you think that schools are organized in a way that's good for the children good for their minds and their development and good for the families I would say no it seems to be organized for the opposite school school and all the activities appear to be organized to destroy family life and uh drive you into divorce now I'm not saying that they planned it that way but there's a there's a famous well I guess it's getting more famous saying that says that if a system gives you the same output Time After Time After Time and nobody changes it that the output is the intention you can't say well we didn't intend it to work out that way if year after year after year you keep doing the same thing and you know it what you're getting anybody who is a parent uh with the exception of people who are maybe parents for the top 2% if you're a top two you could probably handle all this stuff yeah I got a plus I got music got it all I'm in this sport too but for 98% of kids they just get overwhelmed and they don't have any family time there's no family dinner because everybody's driving everybody around the parents lives are a living hell when they get done with their own work they're just driving driving sitting watching driving and it basically just destroys all quality of life for no benefit whatsoever I knew that how many of you knew that how many of you were completely aware that the schools are set up to destroy your family I mean it looks like must be the intention yeah but the the top students like if you've got an athletic kid that stuff's great if they're really good at Athletics it's just not the average oh over in Finland they've got a uh got a big project they're going to make a big battery on a sand so they're going to store a whole bunch of heat in a special kind of sand uh that just stores the heat well and then they can reuse it later what if that works it's not ordinary sand there's some kind of special sand but not that rare so what if that works I I love the idea of using dirt for a battery special sand but Finland also has a project make a gravity battery so the first kind just stores heat which can then be converted to energy but the second kind um uses an abandoned mine and a big weight that goes down the mine downhill um to create energy because anything moving can be used to harness energy and uh then during the day when the energy is cheap they pull it or when I guess at night when the energy is cheap no it must be the during the day because they're using solar they'll pull the weight up the mine and then when they need the energy they'll let it go back down so two different uh Technologies in Finland kind of kind of promising all right York University we'll get to the political news I just there's fun science today um they said the best case scenario for the highest life satisfaction so they looked at different demographics and Lifestyles and they found out that uh the happiest people are this uh you're married happy um oh this is for women I think specifically for women you're you're married um you're happy with your personal appearance because the thing they found is that your appearance has more to do with your overall happiness than almost anything and uh uh if you've got excellent health and consider yourself upper class you're most likely to be happy huh well now that's completely surprising people who are in a good marriage good health goodlooking and good social life and also lots of money either up or a class now somehow quite surprisingly they're happier than other people now who saw that coming who saw that coming huh I don't know well let's add this to you could have asked Scott I think I could have told you this and saving a bunch of money yeah well there's new uh robot restaurants a vegan restaurant um one of the founders of chipot I guess or the founder he's experimenting with it and it's got a big robot arm and it only has three staff members because the robot does a lot of the work and it kind of makes sense to make a vegan restaurant with robots because if you're a vegan you don't like to be around a lot of meat and the employees are made of meat almost entirely a little bit of bones but mostly meat and so you can get rid of a lot of the meat including the food as well as the employees with that robot now here's something that been my biggest pet peeve so much so I even tried to start up start up at one point to fix it the the amount of work to buy food bring it home prepare it store it put it in my mouth and clean up is crazy it's crazy and the expense of it all the how many times a a potato has to change hands before it gets in my stomach do you know how much work a potato has to do to get into my body a lot of work so I would like to see robots take the whole concept of getting food into my body and make it a lot easier so this might be a working step in the right direction how how many of you have largely given up on cooking an actual meal every night rather just grab a sandwich or something have any of you just said this is just crazy I'm not going to make a meal every night I just wonder is it common because it's been a long time since I was in a any kind of family situation where there was like a family meal you know part of it is a school thing because nobody's available at the same time you can't have a family meal if the kids are always doing an activity yeah yeah I think the whole idea of the family dinner has sort of disappeared for maybe half of the country or more well the military is going to go hard in drones they going to make a thousand drones for the Air Force and I guess one of the big uses of the drones would be to escort our human um planes like the B21 and the F-35 I guess you all saw that coming but the big story is it's happening fast and as soon as they put AI in there we're all dead I think we all know that because we saw the movie all right uh Elon Musk has a good quote today that I think sums up everything he said trying to help people well he it's not his own quote he just posted it trying to help people understand what's going on right now is you know what's going on in in the world basically the country trying to help people understand what's going on right now is like uh going back into a burning building to pull someone out only to have them keep punching you in the face and demand evidence that the burning is on fire even after they admit they can see see the Flames doesn't that feel like what it is it literally feels like the world is burning and when you talk to people say hey the world is burning you know can we help you out they'll say I'm fine and they'll say can you see the Flames yeah yeah what's going on here why why do you not want to get away from the Flames what's going on and I would say that the shorter version of this is cognitive dissonance cognitive dissonance is when You' have created a let's say a decision around your who you believe you are you're a nice person so you must back nice things for example then you find out the nice thing isn't so nice and you don't want to change your mind because you like to be consistent so I do think a big part of the problem is people are not seeing the obvious because it's hard well Bitcoin is zooming up again is it still up this morning it was zooming what does it tell us that Bitcoin is zooming number one it's probably something about non-trusting governments because if I thought that the dollar was going to stay useful forever I would own a lot less Bitcoin so I think Bitcoin is a vote against the government being effective in the long run but you also have the ETFs that are getting approved I guess Great Britain's looking at it too so a lot of people who would not have touched Bitcoin are now seeing it as an essential part of their portfolio so as people just add it for diversification it'll become valuable now how many of you remember for the past two years I've been telling you that Bitcoin makes sense for diversification because at some point the ETFs are likely to add it you know unless something surprising happened and here we are so the ETFs meaning the funds are adding it and if the funds have to add it they're going to be gigantic purchases which drives up the price and that's what you're see among other animal spirits it's a lot of psychology in it well my theme for the rest of the show is the enemy is inside the house the enemy is us that's the theme see if I can tie this together Story number one um according to Fox News the January 6 committee uh allegedly suppressed testimony showing Trump uh Administration tried to get National Guard presence on January 6 now Liz Cheney who was part of that January 6 committee says that's flatly false but Liz Shany is the least credible person in the world um I think if I knew nothing other than Fox news says it's true and Liz Cheney says it's not true who would you believe if the only thing you knew ISS Fox News versus Liz chady which side do you take well the news is not the most reliable thing in the world but Liz Cheney is the least reliable thing in the world now I I think um you know this will be one where there's going to be some question about uh whether or not it was really suppressed or whether she thought it wasn't important and the committee thought it wasn't important so it wasn't that it was suppressed it was misinterpreted it's going to be one of those stories but uh since nothing that L Cheney says is anything but ridiculous partisan bile I think there's a greater chance that Fox News has the story right in this case there's a uh fund called avanza which be because it uses ESG uh ESG is you know the standard where you're make sure that you're doing good by the uh environment and you're hiring diverse staff Etc and one of the companies that didn't do well in the rankings uh and therefore avanza decided they could not put money into it and you may have heard that this company is called uh Nvidia Nvidia yeah so there's a company that has actual us people's money in it that said Nvidia you know this might be something we'd invest in except for they're that they're weak on ESG so do you think the problem is the world economic Forum like CSG this a problem coming from all them strange talking foreigners with their accents and stuff and making people go to Davos or could it be that Americans are taking it too seriously and that's really the problem don't we have the option of rejecting it don't we wa we can't just say no well I would say this problem is coming from inside the house if you were an investor in this avanza fund and you found out that they didn't invest in the number one best stock of all time so far who knows what'll happen after this Nvidia and it was because of weak ESG I think you'd have to say the problems coming from inside the house well Mike Lindell got is going to get his day in the Supreme Court I'm surprised actually I don't know exactly what it is but I think it's about election claims says he's been waiting 3 years for it and he says quote the evidence we're going to drop you're going to see on Friday is the most explosive you've ever seen we're talking Kraken people Kraken all over the place now I will give you my generic warning that if a 100 claims are made about the 2020 election being rigged you can guarantee that 95% of them are false at the minimum it could be 100% but at minimum 95% are going to be false I said that on the first day and lots and lots of times after it and it's been true so far now does that mean that there aren't a bunch of real CH real claims that will turn out to be you know explosive it doesn't mean that 5% of the claims would still be a lot of claims and you only need one to be right for the whole election to be different than it came out so it only takes one you only need one and everything is different than what you thought it was so do we have one well if you follow the rasmason account almost well every single day for weeks and weeks and months and years actually I think they've been showing you evidence that sure looks it looks credible but there's always that extra level of verification It's like got to hear what the other side says so do you think the Supreme Court would have taken the case if there was nothing to it so I'm not sure if he's going to make election claims or some other kind of claims we don't know but um if we live in a simulation and if the Trump story is going to look like a a three-part movie play which it seems like it's shaping up to do there's going to be there has to be the magic point where Trump is right about the 2020 election being rigged now I don't personally have any you know proof that that's the case that it was rigged personally I wouldn't know I would have no way of knowing but if it's a movie it feels like every single indication the cats on the roof Mike Lindell is going to the Supreme Court you know there's court cases pending that have been delayed for reasons we don't understand or ballots that are apparently according to Witnesses or fake ballots and they're locked in a room and they won't be unlocked but we don't know why there's a delay so there's a whole bunch of things any one of them could be the Kraken so you know the Kraken would be the alleged big big proof that the election was rigged we haven't seen it yet uh to my satisfaction but I would say all the indications are it's it's coming I I've never seen more foreshadowing for anything in my life now it doesn't guarantee that there's something out there that's corrupt and it doesn't guarantee that if there is we never see it but it sure feels like it is everybody having the same feeling that it just feels like between now and November something's going to break on that story about the 2020 election I don't know if I'd put money on it but it sure feels like it just things are getting that way all right MSNBC is reporting that uh Joe Biden said and I quote uh every time he hears Trump speak he gets Juiced up he gets Juiced up whenever he hears Trump speak well I think I need to hear more about that juice um because I think KLA Harris is Juiced up every time she hears Trump speak I don't know if it's the same juice could be a different juice but whatever juice they're pumping into H Biden might be a different juice they're pumping into Kamala but they seem pretty Juiced up to me all right uh speaking of rasmon they did a poll says 35% of likely us voters say that if Trump wins this year's election they would support Democrats in Congress refusing to certify the election results is that the best that's the just the best poll I love the fact that rasos even asked that question it's just perfect because 35% saying that it wouldn't certify a trump Victory now keep in mind that the question does not suggest that there might have been something wrong with the election so the question does not say if you suspected there was something wrong with the election would you be against certifying it no it just says would you be against certifying it just if he wins so there might be some assumptions embedded in people's answers as in as in they might assume that that means is rigged but that would sound a lot like the magga people wouldn't it what percentage of the country do you think are Mega Republicans go what percentage of the country are Mega Republicans 35 was that high 35% I think that's about the number of Republicans and the number of you know Trump leaning Republicans is pretty close so BAS basically it looks like there are a few more people who would support the Democrats doing exactly what the Republicans tried to do except that the Republicans weren't trying to do that were they do you think the January 6 people were trying to prevent certification well it kind of means kind of depends what you mean by that if prevent if prevent means permanently prevent that's not what the January 6ers is asked for they did not ask for it to be permanently prevented they wanted a delay to make sure it was a good election but these Democrats don't say anything about a delay 35% of Voters which will include some apparently that would include some Republicans I don't know how many not many probably they would they would refuse to certify so I guess there's no moral argument left and let me say again the problems coming from inside the house yeah it's inside the house well something called the Academy Awards happened last night which apparently is some kind of celebration of movies that um I would not watch because they're all terrible I could I recognized zero movies that were nominated and I have no intention of seeing any of them because the more likely uh it is to get an award the less likely it's good entertainment because it means they packed it with you crap um but let's there number of stories that came out of it number one some guy named Jonathan Glazer uh got up there and he got rupard rupar is when you get taken out of context so part of your comments are removed to make it very different from what he actually intended so let me tell you what he said and then I'll tell you how he got rupard he said and by the way I'm not agreeing I'm not agreeing with what he's saying I'm just telling you what he said he said right now we stand here as men who refute their jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation that has led to Conflict for so many innocent people so his framing is that the uh Israel occupying that territory so he would call it occupying others would call it something else um is uh basically it makes them feel bad because their you know their jewishness and the the Holocaust are being being cheapened so basically he's saying that you know Jews and you know this this big idea of the Holocaust are being cheapened by what's happening there that got taken out of context now just to be clear I'm not saying he said something I agree with and then they reversed it I'm not saying that but he did get take it out of context so they dropped the second part where he says being hijacked by an occupation and and it got reported as right now we stand here as men who refute their jewishness and the Holocaust no they were not refuting their jewishness and the Holocaust but that's how it got reported on social media by a lot of people that you follow probably now what he did say might be equally OD and terrible to the people who are his critics but it wasn't what he said just to be clear that wasn't what he said um interestingly you know we always you always hear people saying that uh Jew that Hollywood is you know run by Jews I'm not saying that that's you common meme you hear yet um it seemed like the biggest theme was pramas how do you explain that how do you get a job so a number of the people who went to the Oscars were wearing um Pro ceasefire messages so a lot of them were Pro ceasefire now if you were Jewish there's a good chance that you interpret pro- ceasefire not everybody of course everybody's different but there would be a lot of Jewish people who would say that if you're Pro ceasefire you're kind of pro Hamas because that's what they're asking for it's literally what they're asking for and you know that would give you the problem of how do you solve it in the long run if you do a ceasefire um so how do how do the actors who are pro ceasefire ever get work again is that going to be a problem or or has something happened in Hollywood they just opposed the whole town where the town is full of Jewish actors and Jewish managers Etc but they've all gone to or have a substantial number of them turned into ceasefire supporters which would feel to many like Kamas supporters I don't know I feel like Hollywood has done every single thing they can to destroy their own uh industry so the wokeness you know made it terrible to watch and you know movies are boring in general because other things are just more exciting these days and faster and get to the point faster so movies are like a dead art form in my opinion but then they add this thing like why do why do the Hollywood actors think that they need to be making comments about Israel during the AC Awards like where did they get that idea you can't separate those a little bit anyway Jimmy Kimble was the host uh he was pretty cringey according to people who don't like him but according to the wild sealike clapping in the audience to his bad jokes when he made fun of uh Trump being up past his jail time uh and then the the audience Wonder oh Trump in jail were you so happy we you so happy Trump in jail um so it was disgusting on that level that they were cheering for an innocent man to go to jail innocent would be my opinion innocent till proven guilty and then the biggest surprise of all apparently there were guidelines for the Academy Awards to and movie well guidelines for movies so the guidelines for movies were to include a lot of diversity and they had pretty specific guidelines of you know make sure you've got at least two from this group and you know Etc and then after all that Pro diversity stuff uh let's see how it went pachy Keenan is reporting this on X best picture went to uh well that was an allh cast right probably an anomaly the best sporting actor went to oh white guy best actor though went to well that was white guy however however the best actress went to well a white woman but not not to feel bad because the best director went to well white guy and but at least to redeem the best director for short films went well white guy so a lot of white people won stuff I'm not complaining about it I'm just saying how the hell did that happen does Hollywood have some kind of a a weird self-hatred internal Revolution that's going on is there a Civil War in Hollywood I don't know what's going on I have no idea uh also the best s to a white woman um do you all know sha King who uh is famous as a black activist who many of his critics say Sean you don't even look black I I don't even think you're black so um that's one part of his story but apparently he's up the ante and he's become a uh he's embraced Islam so as of yesterday Shan King is a Muslim so so he's a black Muslim so so that's good so um I don't want to say that Shan King is the poor man's Andrew Tate but I really do so I'm gonna say it sha King is the poor man's Andrew Tate I just like saying people are the poor man something it's always funny it's never it's never not funny all right meanwhile Trump was posting on Truth during the uh Academy Awards and jimmmy Kimmel actually read his post live here's what it was from Trump uh on on Truth he said has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars his opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something he is not and never can be get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC Talent George soplos George slopis he would make everybody on stage look bigger stronger and more glamorous and he says uh after a really bad politically correct show tonight and for years just jointed boring and very unfair why don't they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them maybe that way Their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths make America great again Trump is never not funny it's like he doesn't have the capability to not be funny if you know if you like his whole act right if you hate him you hate him let's talk about ABC News George soplos who you know as stephanopolous so he got into it with Nancy mace Republican on the show and it was fascinating because they both are uh so both of them are really good with media right George anop obviously great understanding of media and how to use it but a you know a biased partisan for Democrats Nancy May same thing super good at all media things you know the camera loves her lots of good quotes and stuff so these are two people who really understand how the the media Works do you know what people do when somebody who really understands the media and his partisan interview somebody else who really understands the media and his partisan well was kind of hilarious because Nancy mace kept trying to frame the questions from Stephanopoulos as quote trying to shame a rape victim which she repeated over and over and over again meanwhile stopus was framing as the jury found Trump liable for rape which didn't happen in the real world by the way um but also what didn't happen in the real world is step is trying to shap Nancy maer as a rape victim so both of them just continually repeated their claims which were ridiculous they're both ridiculous but they're both so smart about the media that they know that all that mattered is what they repeated so they were actually in just not even in the same conversation and neither of them cared to fix it you have to say it as fascinating there you might if you were a little less let's say informed about how things work it would look like two people who couldn't have a conversation or somebody avoiding a question or somebody asking illegitimate questions and trying to score points that's sort of the old way to look at it but if you understand that the two people are you know brilliant at handling media events brilliant I mean they're top 1% easily um then you understand that they know that the audience can't follow an argument the audience a can't follow any complicated argument so what you can do is just repeat over and over something you want them to hear so if you were a pro Nancy mace and you spent you know any one second looking at that video you'd say man I hate that SLO anopolis guy to quote Trump he's trying to to shame a rape victim I watched the whole thing nothing like that happened not even a little bit at the same time uh did the jury find Trump for rape nope completely made up but he wants everybody to think that happen so what did happen well Byron York tries to explain what the jury did find and I think you can join me in saying what all right so here's the here's Byron yor try Byron yor Byron York trying to explain it he said in fact the jury specifically found Trump not liable for rape it found him liable for quote sexual abuse the judge later tried to spin the decision citing laws that did not apply okay according to Byron York laws did not apply to argue that the jury implicitly found Trump liable for rape I don't even know what that sentence means like I understand it as English but like what's it really mean in the real world how in the world does a judge cite a law that doesn't exist to argue that the jury found in their in their own minds they were thinking something other than what they said but I guess something like that happened you know Byron York is very credible in his analyses uh in the absence of an actual jury finding of rape the jur the judge guessed that the jury's decision necessarily implies rape do do you understand why Nancy mace would not want to get into a decision about the details because you can't you can't explain the story in the details you could read that sentence like 15 times and go I'm not exactly sure what right do you do any of you even understand that issue that the judge used a law that doesn't exist to read the minds of the jury what anyway so those are good two good media pros at work um did you know that apparently half of the country is unaware according to recent survey that uh the non-documented SL noncitizens get counted in the census now you might say to yourself well so what the census is just trying to figure out who's here so they're here might as well count them so what you might not remember is that the census is in part and maybe largely the main reason is to figure out how many representatives um are applicable so if they can uh they being the Democrats if they can pump up areas with extra um non-citizens then the census when it rolls around will say Hey you need some extra Representatives because you got some extra people those extra Representatives would allow the Democrats to have a majority and Rule forever as kings and queens um the Trump Administration I guess tried to get citizenship to be the only valid answer on the census you know so that it didn't have this distorting effect and um musk is pointing that out Elan musk and it's obvious that this is isn't it obvious to you that this is all intentional I mean that's what mus is saying it's obviously intentional to pump up the power of the Democrats at any cost cost and the any cost would be extra crime Etc and cost um so you think the problem is the immigrants right do you think the problem is the migrants do you think the problem is the cartel do you think the problem is um George Soros well to me it looks like the problem is coming from inside the house because none of those things would matter if the Democrats didn't want it to happen because we would just have stronger laws Etc so the problem with um migration is coming entirely from inside and it's intentional because if if a if a system continues to give you one kind of output and you don't change it that must be the output you want because you do have the ability to change it so so you must we we must assume that this plot to increase power at the cost of American citizens is exactly what it looks like speaking of things that are exactly what they look like do you remember me saying the only explanation for why we're not doing anything useful about fenel and about the Border must be that the cell is on our side now when I say our side I mean must be working with American power interests otherwise we would stop it and then Mike Ben who has more information than I do I was just looking at the system and saying hey if the system keeps giving you the same result and the government has the ability to change it but does nothing that must be the result they want and therefore they must be working with the cartels to control Mexico and Central America but I was just talking through my ass based on the system all I did was look at the output I simply looked at the output and said all right if nobody's trying very hard to change it they must want it it what could be the possible explanation for wanting this and the only explanation is that we're the ones doing it if it were coming only from the outside as a risk to Americans we would have stopped it somehow but we're not even trying in in a way that looks like trying you know there's little stuff but not really so Mike benza says um that the reason that uh the department defense CIA in the state and D department of homand security they all tried to stop Trump from building a border wall because as Mike Ben says if we lose the cartels we lose Latin America that's right we need the cartels for America to have control over the governments of other countries because the only way we can control the governments is to control the cartels because the cartels control the governments so basically we are we are consciously we meaning these groups of three-letter people are consciously allowing 100,000 people to die from overdoses and consciously allowing us to be overrun with crime and uh migrants uh because it gives us control over the other countries now is that a is that a bad decision I'm going to surprise you because it surprised me but as you know I've been the probably one of the most vocal critics about the Border as well as fenol and not doing enough about it because in my opinion it was a contributing factor to my stepson's overdose and so I was really really mad at the government for seeing the problem much like Elan musk points out you can see the Flames why are you trying to put them out and and that was was really frustrating to have you know a death in the family that looked like it you know could have been maybe if not preventable there could have been a lot more that could have been done and then not to watch nothing being done was like the worst most painful feeling you could imagine that I couldn't stop it from happening to somebody else's kid I mean really that's all you have left all you have left when you lose your own kid is you can make something good out of it you know you try to turn into a positive anything so you know maybe you do a charity a lot of people would do stuff like that uh I thought my role would be to try to persuade tougher action against uh Mexico for the fenel specifically I can now see that that's a waste of energy I can now see that this was a conscious tradeoff and a better way to see the death of all of the uh young people and other people dying from fentanyl is that they're effectively like conscript in other words it's like having a draft except the draft is based on who got addicted so the people who got addicted are um essentially War casualties because the war in this case is to control the other countries by working with the cartels productively to do that and the expense of that just like the expense of any War would be the soldiers you lose and the soldiers in this case didn't sign up for it except they kind of did you know what if you're an addict you didn't sign up to die and you didn't sign up to fight the cartels but you did sign up for something that was going to put you in the middle of that mix and you did sign up for something that gave you a pretty good risk of dying and it is true that people consciously put themselves in that situation and so I've actually had a change of opinion that when you know it's coming from inside the house meaning that the drugs coming into the country are America's Choice then I see it as basically a forced conscription like a draft except that the addicts who became were the ones who paid for the war they pay for it literally by buying the drugs and it looks like the uh our three letter agencies probably share some of that and use it for for bad gains but yeah so my step kid was killed in this war he didn't know he was in so there's that uh and I actually feel different about it now because the thing I don't know is if we're better off I don't know if we're better off as a country by controlling Central and South America if we're doing it just for money or something then of course it's the height of evil but if we're doing it because people who are a lot smarter than me say you know if we don't do this it's going to be way worse it's going to be way worse if we don't do it because they'll just you know Central and South America will you know have I don't know economic problems with a bad government and dictators will bring in Chinese Rockets you know all kinds of problems so I don't know you know I I try to be a realist and I say obviously I didn't want my stepson to die but he didn't die the way I thought he did the way I thought he did was there were too many drugs and and he took some it looks like the drugs are intentional it's the way they fund their their control of other countries and that effectively he was a conscript you just didn't know or or you might say he was a volunteer but he didn't know he was volunteering for that well what about those gangs in Haiti as you know the the government is in I know disappeared dur in some other country the leader I guess the leader was put in by some kind of CIA FBI plot according to also Mike Benz and the president was assassinated largely by our Spooks plus who they worked with in the in that country who were probably not good people and then the bad people took over and then uh emptied the jails released the prisoners and now the reports are that there are cannibal gangs um that are going around eating people and the streets are just pure crime and violence now now a lot of people are saying do you remember when Trump called these other countries hole countries and people said you can't say that well uh I'm not going to call them a hole country because I've learned that that is an inappropriate thing to say so Haiti is not a hole country it is merely a country with no functional economy or government in which the streets are ruled by criminal gangs and cannibalism is becoming a national problem but not a hole not now that's the bad news here's the good news the good news is that the cannibals in Haiti um have a better diet than most Americans and uh they're getting a good protein Source not a lot of additives and the reports are U oh there are very few chronic illnesses in Haiti among the canals so the American diet as you know will give you a lot of chronic illnesses RFK Jr will tell you that for sure but in Haiti they're they got a cleaner protein they're just eating each other and no no chronic illness it's carnivore diet um but and then other people are saying but hey Scott don't joke about this because those Haiti gangs are going to come to America the cannibals are going to come here and start eating Americans and I'm not sure that's a problem because if if we just sort of lock ourselves in doors the the cannibals are going to end up eating people around doors so they're they're going to eat a lot of homeless people probably eat a lot of the uh Venezuelan uh prisoners that were released so if we get the cannibals to eat the Venezuelan um prisoners that came up from Venezuela that could be a plus so in the short run two plans short run you get the Haiti cannibals to eat the other migrants but eventually that's not going to work because if the uh cannibals stay here in America long enough um apparently the microplastics in the water will cause them to lose their health and vigor and they might lose uh all of their cannibalistic urges um because they'll mostly be playing video games and masturbating like Americans and uh they just won't have the energy they'll probably just door Dash like everybody else they'll be like well I could go kill a homeless person and eat them cuz I'm a cannibal or I could just door Dash play video games and masturbate so in the long run I wouldn't worry about it it'll take care of itself meanwhile there's a study in of Great Britain that says that the water is so polluted that the men's sperm count is going down and they're shooting blanks uh this is coming from Sir Tim Smith who is 69 they have to tell you so I don't I don't that just seemed a story about sperm and they got to tell us that the guy's age is 69 I don't know why do we need to know that why do we need to know that anyway the UK's rivers and seas are so packed with chemicals that all the men are turning into hermaphrodites and frogs are gay and stuff something like that but uh so yeah that's another example of the problems coming from inside the house meanwhile in the city of Pittsburgh they're cutting back on the police responses so between 3:00 a.m.

and 7:00 a.m.

uh no police will show up if you report certain kinds of things like theft harassment criminal mischief and burglar burglary alarms well I'm not so sure you need the police in all those situations so that might actually make sense we'll see let's talk about ticktock as you know Trump uh was against it but now he's for it because his biggest donor has like I don't know $30 billion invested in bite dance so the biggest donor looks like he bought off um at least Trump and VI and maybe Rand Paul and maybe Thomas Massie maybe others and there are reports uh one lawmaker told the publication Su for they had been personally threatened by a uh that a yes vote to ban Tik Tock could result in political retaliation they said it would be bad for your future and you'll get millions of dollars dropped in your head meaning you know for your opponent so so that's what's happening so um if you thought that the the risk of Tik Tock was coming from China it was not it was coming from an American investor who has so much money that he can essentially buy the Loyalty of trump and V and Rand Paul and Thomas Massie apparently now I'll just say allegedly because you can't read anybody's minds but that's what it looks like and if you want to make sure that's not the case what you would do is You' listen to V and you'd make sure that he knew what the critical problem was which is the persuasion threat so you could find out if he's bought off or he's lying by whether or not he says he understands the greatest threat so here's an update so if aake says yes yes I understand the threat of Tik Tock is a persuasion threat then maybe he's got an honest opinion but if he ignores the persuasion threat and talks about things like data and children spending too much time on it then you'd know he's bought off in my opinion right can't read his mind but that would be the indication so let's see what he says listen for what reasons does he give why Tik Tock is bad president Trump just came out against a legislative measure that would require the owner of Tik Tock to divest it it's currently a Chinese owner a company called bite dance or else that it would be banned in the United States President Trump just came out opposing that I think that's the right decision actually of President Trump to oppose that legislation because it doesn't make any sense and I've long said this even late in the campaign took a lot of heat from fellow Republicans give reasons I think we have to ask ourselves the why and this is the problem with professional politicians Trump is a professional politician and neither am I but many people in professional politics they look at what they're supposed to say and they act like billiard balls on a pool table they go in whatever Direction they're hit without thinking about the actual don't really need the analogy just re Republican party give us a reason let's take a step back and ask about the why of what's going on here what you get to it concern that people have with dict what it problem it kids not just Tik Tok that applies to a bunch of other social media platforms can you tell us and that is an issue we need to tackle why don't you get to it I do think there should be Age based restrictions on using addictive social media okay that's not the point specific point yeah this point about relates to a different concern oh here it comes the use and provision of data us user data potentially to the Chinese Communist party and I think that is a major concern it's not the major concern it's a major isn't limited to just Tik Tock or even chinese-owned companies in the US here it comes it expands to include even so-called us companies that are still beholding to the CCP because they do business in China here's an example A couple of years ago there was good Wall Street Journal reporting this is all by the way Airbnb not the issue us company supposedly us company at least was dat the CCP not the issue for doing business yeah it's also bad but it's not the big issue Jal Sean Joyce the Chief privacy officer of Airbnb resigned over that because it wasn't properly disclosed to the public and one of airbnb's co-founders reported come on let's talk about persuasion to promote American values and the big problem is what's the big problem put a little black Square on their Instagram the problem matter that virtue signaling aside this is what they say behind cled doors it's not just Airbnb though it applies to countless other us companies we have to ask ourselves the why the why why are you getting to the point real concern we ought to have is the provision of us consumer and user dat to the Chinese Communist not the point get the point against come on ban us companies from providing us user data tell us Persuasions me of the say it but it is beyond silly to just pick one randomy and go after them because that is temporarily a politically popular divers actually failing to solve the actual problem the companies and US companies alike including the US companies that do business in China now here's the real problem with a Republican party is when it has its head stuck in the stand this oh now we're going to talk politics without actually talking about the problem Democrats are all over reaching the next generation of Americans while Republicans are virtue signaling amongst themselves failing to actually bring those new voters Along by meeting them at least on the platform that is operating in the United States now it's about politics I became one of the rare Republicans when I was running for president one of the rare Republican candidates who did open a Tik Tok account any questions yeah it's exactly what it looks like so yeah apparently they were just bought bought off now what Trump says is that um he said he thinks Tik Tock is a national security threat but he couldn't support Congress Banning it because it would boost support for Facebook which he says is the enemy of the people now first of all would it would it boost um say Instagram that it's owned by Facebook do you think it would boost Instagram because Instagram's a competing service you know they have reals that are like Tik toks I think so probably um but would that make any difference I don't think it would make enough difference is is the reason that Facebook is the enemy of the people do they have only barely enough money to be the enemy of the people right's not wrong he's just um he's diverting did you hear me say he was wrong no I didn't say he's wrong I said that they were bought off but and they're that they're markedly so the people who are not bought off are um Crawford and um uh well I'll give you some other names but the the people who mention persuasion specifically they're not bought off because they know the big problem if they say persuasion first as the big problem then you could say they're not bought off um so Facebook has all the money it needs to be the enemity the people it wouldn't make any difference if they had a little extra money from some Tick Tock people coming over that is obviously not a real reason Trump is giving you the best reason he can it's a lie it's because they're they're it's because they're big donor owns a big piece of it so the problem on Tik Tok is coming from inside the house your government government apparently will not be there to help you whatsoever on the question of Tik Tock so it's up to the parents um let me check in you you think that krenshaw said persuasion is the big problem but that he's bought off who who's going to pay for that who who would buy who would buy him off you have to figure out who would pay for that nobody would pay for that all right uh Adam shiff who uh still hasn't uh passed The Uncanny Valley problem where you don't look like a human you look you look at him and you go I don't even know if I'm looking at a human there is that a human being anyway uh Schiff and John Brennan are saying the same message what's that tell you if Adam Schiff and John Brenan go both go on TV and say the same thing about Trump what do you know about the thing they said they are literally The hoax team The hoax team is Clapper Brennan chiff swell Rasin right and others but if you see them working together on any Trump related thing it's a hoax it's what they do they don't send these guys out for the true stuff because the stuff you don't need hoaxers they save the hoaxers for just hoaxes so as soon as you see that bread and and shiff said the same thing which is that uh the Intel people probably won't give president Trump um as a candidate or maybe even in office the the good stuff on the Pres on the intelligence briefings because they don't trust him with all of his you know boxes at moral Lago they don't they don't explain why it was okay that uh Biden had a bunch of boxes but they say that uh they'll probably leave out uh quote the sources and methods because they're afraid that uh Trump would give the sources and methods away to to somebody now here's my question why would you ever tell a president the sources and methods whether it's Trump or somebody else isn't that exactly what you shouldn't tell somebody who's not you know deep into the secret part of the government I think the secret part of the government should say um here's what we know and then when they say how do you know it you know you can say something general but should you be giving sources and methods should you it seems like it should never be written down but if the president asks for it don't you think they should answer as in how do we know this is true and they could say something like well we we have human intelligence sources that we trust and they've been right before is that something that's going to give away the store you most of these are kind of obvious how we get you know it's either a human or intelligence or something but anyway so I have a question whether any president ever got something that secret the sources and methods except for the generic stuff so I don't even think the I don't think the issue is real but when you see Brennan and shiff on it it means that they're part of a hoax to make it seem that Trump is uniquely un untrustworthy with information it's just part of a narrative there's a video that I saw in the ma account maaz on X um shows President Obama in 2009 talking about immigration and saying we can't have a million people pouring over the Border half a million pouring over the border which is what we have per year or more and seven years later Obama's position is considered racist and xenophobic by democrats now do you do you see that none of our national opinions are real can you see that opinions are just assigned I always tell you that and I think you say to yourself well not to me I mean some other people might get their opinions assigned to him but you know that doesn't apply to a thinking person like myself but no the Democrats were told in 2009 that you can't have a half a million people pouring over the Border that'd be bad and Obama said it and the news said it so Democrats said it too and then when everything changed for no good reason and suddenly those people are pouring over the Border suddenly it would be racist and xenophobic to point out that that was ever a bad idea and that was immediately adopted by Democrats is there any question in your mind that our our opinions on politics are just assigned to us there's nobody who thought this through do you think there a bunch of Democrats who who got new information since 2009 it's like you know in 2009 with the information we were working with we did think it was bad for half a million people to come across the border but now that we're seeing it happen all the information suggests it's a great idea do you think that happened no no the news told them what to think and then they thought it that that's all that happened well let's talk about Israel going into Rafa as you know um Biden said that was going to be a red line now a red line um let me Define what a red line means a red line is something you say but then you ignore because it doesn't really mean anything in the real world apparently uh unless you're Putin Putin actually Putin actually acts on red lines that's why you have Ukraine but again I guess uh we just just use it as a word it doesn't mean anything so Biden said it would be a red line if Israel goes into Rafa while there are still civilians there of which there are and um Netanyahu said H we're going to do whatever we need to do we're going into Rafa so are you surprised to me this looks like good cop bad cop business it doesn't look real do you think that Biden really wants Israel not to go into Rafa do you think that's his actual opinion it could be might actually be but I feel like this is just obvious good cop bad cop business because the United States wants to act like you know we're the the reasonable Brokers and you know we we're the control on Israel that they don't go too far and you know but we're we're a little bit on both sides you know we're going to give Aid to both sides and and um given that we know Netanyahu was absolutely definitely going to do what he was going to do no matter what we said it kind of made sense for Biden to oppose it so I might surprise you here too Biden doing that fake Redline and saying don't go into Rafa is actually probably good politics it's probably good politics I just don't think he means it because he knows it doesn't make any difference in NYU is going to do whatever he wants but probably good but speaking of which I should also mention that if vake and Trump are just being political it's probably good politics so the the question about um Tik Tock and banning it if if it's true and I don't know that this is true but it could be uh and I think it's likely it's true if it's true that Tik Tock was never going to be banned because it just would never get the votes then there's no point in VI and Trump being on a losing side right if they know it's going to lose you might as well be on the side that says hey I'm not I'm no dictator I'm not g to BR I'm not g to ban this free speech so it looks like Trump and VI have found the political Sweet Spot which is you act like you're in favor of Free Speech but you have to you have to lie through your teeth about what you understand about the risk of Tik Tok so they're obviously lying through their teeth Laura Trump as you know is the co-chair of the uh RNC now and uh people saying there's some good indications there so she's going strong to suggest Republicans work hard for ballot harvesting the legal kind the legal kind not any illegal stuff but everybody understood that if you don't ball Harvest like crazy you can't win in today's environment so at least she's fighting fire with fire and you know I heard some of you being skeptical about her as uh the person in this job I actually have a really high opinion of her you know just from a little bit of interaction she's interviewed me a few times and every time I see her she just looks like such a put together serious cap person you know just in general and I guess she's going to utilize Scott Pressler as well um who everybody who likes him knows that that's a good idea so Pressler is apparently a superstar for registering Republicans to vote and why wouldn't you use your Superstar it's been puzzling that he wasn't didn't have a higher profile because he obviously knows how to do this work so two indications that Lara is not only right for the job but already on it and doing some positive things there's a report that said Trump when he met with musk wanted him to speak at the Republican National Convention CNBC is saying that that didn't happen now actually let me revise that it might have happened because you know doesn't know to ask but musk is never going to speak at the Republican National Convention who who takes that seriously really do do any of you think that he would be dumb enough to speak for one of the two major political parties when he's trying to sell cars to everybody of course not of course not that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard he he's like one of the smartest guys in the world and CNBC is you know reporting it like you know maybe he'd be mulling over doing the dumbest thing in the world the dumbest thing in the world would be to give a speech at one of the party's conventions nothing would be dumber than that and and he'd be doing extra work to be doing the dumbest thing no that's not gonna happen uh Scott presler is actually on the road getting signed up yeah I don't know how he gets funded but he's doing the work yeah musk has to depend on the government liking him for a lot of his businesses that's true all right is there any story I missed and did I make my case that the problem is coming from inside the house Tick Tock problem inside the house border problem coming from inside the house yep oh it's funny I can tell people who don't know anything about Me by whether they believe the uh forchan um hoax about my pandemic beliefs I live in this weird world where anybody who follows me know I knows I had the best uh predictions about the pandemic by far and nobody was even close I just I just nailed that thing but uh foren reversed it and made it look like I get everything wrong so so some percentage of the planet thinks I'm the worst ever when it was probably the best prediction performance of all time by the way I do take some credit and and and also tell you when I get something things wrong because I think that's fair um otherwise you know since what I do here is make predictions I should tell you when I get them wrong and I should tell you when I get them right Peter Navaro got four months in prison oh my God uh Pittsburgh yeah we talked about that uh there are some people never saw foran but the hoax started there so if you heard somebody who believed it then you got it from somebody who got it from forchan um Scott millions of people have built businesses on Tik Tok they'll have their lives ruined if it's banned true yeah there's nothing that's free I'm looking at the people who fell for it they're trying they're trying to redeem themselves uh here's one clot failed on Co and now pretends he didn't you should be very embarrassed that you fell for a forchan hoax are you aware that I predicted that the vaccinations would not work when it was announced never changed my mind were you aware of that do do you know I was against mandates all the time and I was never in favor of masks and I was part of the part of the activism to get them removed so anyway you should be embarrassed that you fell for a fortune hoax uh no I watched your V videos no you didn't if you watched my videos then you're dumber than you act like because look at the comments look at the comments the the other people who watch the videos too will tell you you got everything wrong all right um uh some of you want to hate uh Dan khaw well I don't I don't know what other issues you have with him but he's right on Tik Tok on Tik Tok he exactly right other things I don't know didn't I get the VAC what's that got to do with anything so some of you think I got the uh the pandemic wrong because I got the vax let let me say this clearly for those of you who don't understand what business is it what I did for my own health what's that got to do with anybody and how do you know I didn't make the right decision because if you believe anything about data about the pandemic you're an idiot anything that agrees with you or anything that doesn't agree with you there's no data about the pandemic that's reliable so there's a school of thought that says that people my age with a comorbidity may have gotten some protection um and I don't know if I did but might have and I got as far as I know no negative effects I'm healthier than I've ever been as far as I can tell and I got to go on great worldwide vacations which part was a mistake now you might say but later there might be a problem and then then you'd be right but it wouldn't mean I made a mistake because let me let me explain what a lot of you don't understand we'll put it in Easy terms let's say there's a two paths and one of them has a 90% chance of working and one of them has a 10% chance of working all right there's two paths let's say and we don't know we just we're just guessing and I've got my reasons you've got your reasons but I take the path where there's a 90% chance of being right but I get unlucky so the 10% kicks in so so there was a 90% chance I'd be right but I wasn't somebody else took the the path with a 10% chance of being right and they got lucky what would the person who was a 10% chance of right say after they got lucky they would say they were Geniuses and they would say that I made the wrong choice but I didn't make the wrong choice I got the wrong outcome so if your analytical abilities can't separate the wrong outcome from making the right choice based on statistics then you shouldn't be talking about it that's that's pretty basic stuff now some of you also say that you knew you knew it would be bad for you because it was the government and big Fara nobody trusted that not me not anybody nobody trusted it so I waited nine months to see who dropped dead because if I believed it I would have gone first I waited like nine months people weren't dropping dead in my age group if I had been young do you think I would have gotten it probably not if I didn't have a comorbidity asthma uh and it wasn't a lung disease do you think I would have gotten it probably not don't know but probably not so a lot of you are generalizing from your personal experience to what I should have done with my person health and that's actually stupid you can only say that you got a result you liked or that you guessed right but your opinion of what I did for my personal medical situation is first of all you can't know if it worked or not there's no reliable data I don't have any outcomes that are bad so far that I'm aware of and uh I had a great year and you had to stay home so how did I lose what where's the part where I'm worse off because I don't see it in that story I I see I had more freedom than you and in the long run so far it cost me nothing am I wrong I had more freedom because I was not afraid of the shot after nine months of watching people my age not die from it all right that's enough of that we're done with the pandemic I I'd appreciate it if you never bring up the pandemic again yeah it's just too boring it like it forces me to talk about it and then you know to just correct your misperceptions I'm just bored with it all right so so this guy says Scott coming out is proax now did you hear that did you hear me say provax did you hear me say that I said it wouldn't work and as far as I know it didn't work work for for most people now which part is provax are you still unable to hear what I'm saying you can't handle that level of complexity lensar or or are you just a troll I can't tell if you're a idiot and or bad hearing comprehension it's hard to tell all right we'll just assume you're stupid all right uh that's all for now and uh grifter they lied yeah you're all off the point all right that's all for now I'll see you tomorrow maybe I'll have better internet I doubt it and thanks for joining ah well I have a technical teal problem that doesn't allow me to end the stream what do I do about that well I'll probably have to close the browser page and get back

because it's a dicey world two bars of

5G looking good so

far hello locals people piling

in hello Owen lots of good news stories

today thanks

Owen it's your birthday happy

birthday well don't mind me I'm going to

adjust my Lighting in my shades print my

notes while you guys talk to each

other guys and gals and non-binaries

too something's

wrong

oh

Shades I'll tell you if you ever get a

chance to have automated

Shades it's the

best one button and one two three four

Shades go

down I'm quite

hooked

of course if you have automated Shades

throughout your house as I do it also

means that some of your windows will not

be

functioning there's always some window

where the shade is

broken technology it's

great all

right we're going to print our notes and

then we're going to go

wild

you know I keep

expecting I keep expecting these

comments oh I can pin some look at that

I can bin some

comments I got I'm just looking at my

features I've never checked out the

features looks like a let's see what

options do I have here not a lot of

options

um getness world record for number of

sticks of gum in your mouth set by

chadf 256 pieces of gum in his mouth at

the same

time there must be some uh Guinness book

of world's records that I've uh

oh SHO internet's

[Music]

down forgot I can't print unless I'm on

the same

network that should

work we're going to be talking about all

the cannibals and 0 and all the other

fun stuff in a

minute have four minutes to Showtime

have I tried Mastic

Gum I've

not I tell you having no having the

internet go up and down is the biggest

tease it because when it comes up it's

screaming it's just it goes down

every 10 minutes every five or 10

minutes it drops the signal for a few

minutes all right what a show it's going

to

be I wish I were you just so I could

watch this show we're going to do the

premature zp uh those of you on the

non-locals

platform probably have never been here

early enough to see

it

uh are you going to talk about that

white girl killed by the black girl who

slamed her head into the concrete

sickening nope I'm not going to talk

about

that I try to avoid the individual crime

stories that people like to make you

know generalize to everybody in the

world nothing good can come from

that we all know the

dangers did I see if A's Tik Tock

explanation

no all right let me let me check out

if's Tik Tock explanation well before

the show

starts all

right

see do do you think he's going to say

something that's going to make me feel

feel okay about

it oh if only I had

internet so my internet worked just long

enough to send the signal to the printer

so that's good but it's down right now

should come up in about 60

seconds all right so looks like I won't

be checking out what

said I got no

internet all right let's see if I can do

it on my phone without losing the

signal I don't know why I think this

would lose the signal but it just seems

like it

would all right let's spell his name

correctly there we

go all right what does he say

so he all right understanding the actual

issues

harder V all right here it is opposing

that I think president Trump just came

out against a legislative measure that

would require the owner of Tik Tock to

divest it it's currently a Chinese owner

a company called bite dance or else that

it would be banned in the United States

President Trump just came out opposing

that watch him not mention pers right

decision president Trump to oppose that

legislation because it doesn't make any

sense and I've long said this even late

in the campaign took a lot of heat from

fellow Republicans but I think we have

to ask ourselves the why and this is the

problem with professional politicians

president Trump isn't a professional

politician and neither am I but many

people in professional politics they

look at what they're supposed to say and

they act like billiard balls on a pool

table they go whatever Direction they're

hit without thinking about the actual oh

he's avoiding the point even in the

Republican party no analogies back and

ask about the why of what's going on

what's what you leave concern that

people have with Tik Tok well one is

it's an addictive problem in kids no

that's not the top problem why don't you

mention the top problem and that

is an issue we need to tackle but it's

not specific to one platform I do think

there should be Age based

restrictions social media avoiding the

problem specific point this point about

the dive estimate relates to a different

concern watch him avoid the point and

provision of data there it is that's not

the

issue

God I am so angry that I ever supported

that

guy oh my

God I'm completely done with him

wow

wow all right well let's do a show looks

like it's

[Music]

time all right good morning everybody

and welcome to the highlight of human

civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams and

if you'd like to take your experience up

to levels that I don't even think you

can understand all you need for that is

CER mugger a glass of tanker chalis tie

and the Ken Jugger flask of vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee en jooy me now for

the unparallel pleasure the dopamine end

of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it's going to

happen right

now

go

oh that was pretty good I got to admit

excellent

St all right

well um we don't know what's going to

happen today in this show because I'm

using 5G off my phone to live stream so

far so good I've got a solid three bars

on my phone um if you've ever tried to

get anything repaired at your house

lately you've probably run into what

could be called the uh the incompetence

crisis so I've got

exfinity uh internet service which goes

out every few minutes in my account

don't know why I've had my equipment guy

check all of the equipment and isolate

it doesn't seem to be on my end Xfinity

keeps sending me messages to say oh the

problem there's a problem on our end can

we send that a tech followed by a

message that says there's no problem on

our end do you want to cancel the tech

followed by the tech will be there soon

followed by by there's no problem if you

want to cancel it because there's

nothing wrong with our Network followed

by the tech arriving and saying oh

there's plenty wrong with this network

nothing wrong with your side but uh I'll

change this wire so he changes a wiring

somewhere in the external part of my

home from the street to the house and

then he says it's all working now and

then I say how do you know it's working

well you can check for yourself it's

working and then I said you know the

problem is inter mid outages right so

showing me that it's working is not

actually showing me that it's working

because the moment you drive away it's

going to quit oh but I changed the thing

that was the problem so you can see it's

working I told you I isolated the

problem and fixed it so you're good to

go so as he was driving away the

internet failed completely and continues

to be worse than it was when he showed

up so if you've worked with any

technology companies you are aware of

what happens next do I have to tell you

what happens

next easy I will contact them they'll

say the problem must be with your

internal wiring that we can't service or

possibly your

equipment I'll call my equipment guy and

my inside wiring guy and they'll say I

don't see any problem it's got to be in

the network and then you're going to say

but why don't you look at starlink well

I have it's little too slow for my needs

and I don't have any other terrestrial

internet services that are fast enough

so I can't get the good stuff anywhere

else so I'm going to use my usual

technique which is I'm going to

tweet Xfinity until it's their highest

priority that's right every single

day I G say Xfinity is failing

and their internet is it's not

working until they decide it's a high

enough priority to get it fixed

now I don't know what else to do I mean

I could call them every day and have

them tell them tell me they can't find

the problem which basically has been

going on for

years now do you think this is isolated

to Xfinity no as I've told said before

I've put in U maybe five different home

theater setups you know with complicated

AV it's never worked once probably five

different companies I give up event

and it never gets it never works even

the moment they drive

away every time so no surprise anyway

enough about me there's a uh new

indication that uh there were 10,

according to Nature a science journal

10,000 studies were retracted in 2023

it's a new record 10,000 studies that

passed peer

review done by actual

scientists got retracted because they

were not apparently

credible it's a new record so what do

you make of that does that tell you that

things are worse than

ever

no if there's one thing I I want to

teach you this year is that if somebody

tells you a number without a

percentage or a percentage without a

number it's propaganda or it's BS or

it's bad work so when they say that

10,000 studies were retracted and it's a

new record is that

bad you don't know unless you know the

percentage if 10,000 is 1% of all the

studies even if it was bigger than the

year before because let's say there were

just more studies that

year um that wouldn't be bad 1% you'd

think that was pretty good if it's

75% that's really really bad so even

even though this is one of those stories

that seems to agree with my preconceived

notions that there's a lot of bad

studies uh hearing the number without

the ratio and not knowing if that's a

big or a small percentage is useless how

many of you this is just a little check

for you how many of you knew before I

told you that when I said there are

10,000 retractions and it's a new record

how many of you immediately said that's

not actually telling me anything how

many of you knew that the moment you

heard it because that's what you should

be doing I'm trying to I'm trying to get

you to the point that the moment you

hear the raw number without the

percentage or the percentage without the

raw number you can't believe anything

else that happens after that yeah so be

alert there's also a study some

researchers said that the after school

activities for kids you know they're all

packed up with tutoring and sports and

music and clubs and stuff like that they

say that it's not really helping them

because the kids are so basically filled

with stuff all day that that last hour

of stuff is not really helping them

they're basically full by the time they

get done with school their heads are

full now did they need to do some

research on this or could they have

saved some money and just ask me because

asking me would have gotten you the same

result Scott do you think that schools

are organized in a way that's good for

the children good for their minds and

their development and good for the

families I would say no it seems to be

organized for the opposite school school

and all the activities appear to be

organized to destroy family life and uh

drive you into

divorce now I'm not saying that they

planned it that way but there's a

there's a famous well I guess it's

getting more famous saying that says

that if a system gives you the same

output Time After Time After Time and

nobody changes it that the output is the

intention you can't say well we didn't

intend it to work out that way if year

after year after year you keep doing the

same thing and you know it what you're

getting anybody who is a

parent uh with the exception of people

who are maybe parents for the top

2% if you're a top two you could

probably handle all this stuff yeah I

got a plus I got

music got it all I'm in this sport too

but for 98% of kids they just get

overwhelmed and they don't have any

family time there's no family dinner

because everybody's driving everybody

around the parents lives are a living

hell when they get done with their own

work they're just driving driving

sitting watching driving and it

basically just destroys all quality of

life for no benefit whatsoever I knew

that how many of you knew that how many

of you were completely aware that the

schools are set up to destroy your

family

I mean it looks like must be the

intention yeah but the the top students

like if you've got an athletic kid that

stuff's great if they're really good at

Athletics it's just not the

average oh over in Finland they've got a

uh got a big project they're going to

make a big battery on a sand so they're

going to store a whole bunch of heat in

a special kind of sand uh that just

stores the heat well and then they can

reuse it

later what if that works it's not

ordinary sand there's some kind of

special sand but not that rare so what

if that

works I I love the idea of using dirt

for a battery special sand but Finland

also has a project make a gravity

battery so the first kind just stores

heat which can then be converted to

energy but the second kind um uses an

abandoned

mine and a big weight that goes down the

mine

downhill um to create energy because

anything moving can be used to harness

energy and uh then during the day when

the energy is cheap they pull it or when

I guess at night when the energy is

cheap no it must be the during the day

because they're using solar they'll pull

the weight up the mine and then when

they need the energy they'll let it go

back down so two different uh

Technologies in Finland

kind of kind of

promising all

right York University we'll get to the

political news I just there's fun

science today

um they said the best case scenario for

the highest life satisfaction so they

looked at different demographics and

Lifestyles and they found out that uh

the happiest people are this uh you're

married

happy um oh this is for women I think

specifically for women you're you're

married um you're happy with your

personal appearance because the thing

they found is that your appearance has

more to do with your overall happiness

than almost

anything and uh uh if you've got

excellent health and consider yourself

upper class you're most likely to be

happy huh well now that's completely

surprising people who are in a good

marriage good

health

goodlooking and good social life and

also lots of money either up or a class

now somehow quite

surprisingly they're happier than other

people now who saw that coming who saw

that coming huh I don't know well let's

add this to you could have asked Scott I

think I could have told you this and

saving a bunch of money

yeah well there's new uh robot

restaurants a vegan restaurant

um one of the founders of chipot I guess

or the founder he's experimenting with

it and it's got a big robot arm and it

only has three staff members because the

robot does a lot of the work and it kind

of makes sense to make a vegan

restaurant with

robots because if you're a vegan you

don't like to be around a lot of

meat and the employees are made of meat

almost entirely a little bit of bones

but mostly meat and so you can get rid

of a lot of the

meat including the food as well as the

employees with that robot now here's

something that been my biggest pet peeve

so much so I even tried to start up

start up at one point to fix it the the

amount of

work to buy food bring it home prepare

it store it put it in my mouth and clean

up is

crazy it's crazy and the expense of it

all the how many times a a potato has to

change hands before it gets in my

stomach do you know how much work a

potato has to do to get into my body a

lot of

work so I would like to see robots take

the whole concept of getting food into

my body and make it a lot easier so this

might be a working step in the right

direction how how many of you have

largely given up on cooking an actual

meal every night rather just grab a

sandwich or something have any of you

just said this is just crazy I'm not

going to make a meal every

night I just wonder is it common because

it's been a long time since I was in a

any kind of family situation where there

was like a family meal you know part of

it is a school thing because nobody's

available at the same time you can't

have a family meal if the kids are

always doing an

activity yeah yeah I think the whole

idea of the family dinner has sort of

disappeared for maybe half of the

country or

more well the military is going to go

hard in drones they going to make a

thousand drones for the Air Force and I

guess one of the big uses of the drones

would be to escort our

human um planes like the B21 and the

F-35 I guess you all saw that coming but

the big story is it's happening

fast and as soon as they put AI in there

we're all dead I think we all know that

because we saw the

movie all right uh Elon Musk has a good

quote today that I think sums up

everything he said trying to help people

well he it's not his own quote he just

posted it trying to help people

understand what's going on right now is

you know what's going on in in the world

basically the country trying to help

people understand what's going on right

now is like uh going back into a burning

building to pull someone out only to

have them keep punching you in the face

and demand evidence that the burning is

on fire even after they admit they can

see see the

Flames doesn't that feel like what it

is it literally feels like the world is

burning and when you talk to people say

hey the world is

burning you know can we help you out

they'll say I'm fine and they'll say can

you see the Flames yeah yeah what's

going on here why why do you not want to

get away from the Flames what's going on

and I would say that the shorter version

of this is cognitive dissonance

cognitive dissonance is when You' have

created a let's say a decision around

your who you believe you are you're a

nice person so you must back nice things

for example then you find out the nice

thing isn't so nice and you don't want

to change your mind because you like to

be

consistent so I do think a big part of

the problem is people are not seeing the

obvious

because it's hard well Bitcoin is

zooming up again is it still up this

morning it was

zooming what does it tell us that

Bitcoin is

zooming number one it's probably

something about non-trusting

governments because if I thought that

the dollar was going to stay useful

forever I would own a lot less

Bitcoin so I think Bitcoin is a vote

against the government being effective

in the long

run but you also have the ETFs that are

getting approved I guess Great Britain's

looking at it too so a lot of people who

would not have touched Bitcoin are now

seeing it as an essential part of their

portfolio so as people just add it for

diversification it'll become valuable

now how many of you remember for the

past two years I've been telling you

that Bitcoin makes sense for

diversification

because at some point the ETFs are

likely to add it you know unless

something surprising happened and here

we are so the ETFs meaning the funds are

adding it and if the funds have to add

it they're going to be gigantic

purchases which drives up the price and

that's what you're see among other

animal spirits it's a lot of psychology

in

it well my theme for the rest of the

show is the enemy is inside the

house the enemy is us that's the theme

see if I can tie this together Story

number one um according to Fox News the

January 6 committee uh allegedly

suppressed testimony showing Trump uh

Administration tried to get National

Guard presence on January

6 now Liz Cheney who was part of that

January 6 committee says that's flatly

false but Liz Shany is the least

credible person in the world um I think

if I knew nothing other than Fox news

says it's true and Liz Cheney says it's

not true who would you believe if the

only thing you knew ISS Fox News versus

Liz chady which side do you

take well the news is not the most

reliable thing in the

world but Liz Cheney is the least

reliable thing in the world now I I

think um you know this will be one where

there's going to be some question

about uh whether or not it was really

suppressed or whether she thought it

wasn't important and the committee

thought it wasn't important

so it wasn't that it was suppressed it

was misinterpreted it's going to be one

of those stories but uh since nothing

that L Cheney says is anything but

ridiculous partisan

bile I think there's a greater chance

that Fox News has the story right in

this

case there's a uh fund called

avanza which be because it uses

ESG uh ESG is you know the standard

where you're make sure that you're doing

good by the

uh environment and you're hiring diverse

staff Etc and one of the companies that

didn't do well in the rankings uh and

therefore avanza decided they could not

put money into it and you may have heard

that this company is called uh

Nvidia

Nvidia yeah so there's a company that

has actual us people's money in it that

said Nvidia you know this might be

something we'd invest in except for

they're that they're weak on

ESG so do you think the problem is the

world economic Forum like

CSG this a problem coming from all them

strange talking foreigners with their

accents and stuff and making people go

to Davos or could it

be that Americans are taking it too

seriously and that's really the problem

don't we have the option of rejecting

it don't we wa we can't just say

no well I would say this problem is

coming from inside the house if you were

an investor in this avanza fund and you

found out that they didn't invest in the

number one best stock of all time so far

who knows what'll happen after this

Nvidia and it was because of weak ESG I

think you'd have to say the problems

coming from inside the

house well Mike Lindell got is going to

get his day in the Supreme Court I'm

surprised actually I don't know exactly

what it is but I think it's about

election claims says he's been waiting 3

years for it and he says quote the

evidence we're going to drop you're

going to see on Friday is the most

explosive you've ever

seen we're talking Kraken people Kraken

all over the place now I will give you

my generic

warning that if a 100 claims are made

about the 2020 election being rigged you

can guarantee that 95% of them are false

at the minimum it could be 100% but at

minimum 95% are going to be false I said

that on the first day and lots and lots

of times after it and it's been true so

far

now does that mean that there aren't a

bunch of real CH real claims that will

turn out to be you know explosive it

doesn't mean that 5% of the claims would

still be a lot of claims and you only

need one to be right for the whole

election to be different than it came

out so it only takes one

you only need one and everything is

different than what you thought it was

so do we have one well if you follow the

rasmason account almost well every

single day for weeks and weeks and

months and years actually I think

they've been showing you evidence that

sure looks it looks credible but there's

always that extra level of verification

It's like got to hear what the other

side

says so do you think the Supreme Court

would have taken the case if there was

nothing to it

so I'm not sure if he's going to make

election claims or some other kind of

claims we don't know but um if we live

in a simulation and if the Trump story

is going to look like a a three-part

movie play which it seems like it's

shaping up to do there's going to be

there has to be the magic point where

Trump is right about the 2020 election

being rigged now I don't personally have

any you know proof that that's the case

that it was rigged personally I wouldn't

know I would have no way of knowing but

if it's a movie it feels like every

single indication the cats on the roof

Mike Lindell is going to the Supreme

Court you know there's court cases

pending that have been delayed for

reasons we don't understand or ballots

that are apparently according to

Witnesses or fake ballots and they're

locked in a room and they won't be

unlocked but we don't know why there's a

delay so there's a whole bunch of

things any one of them could be the

Kraken so you know the Kraken would be

the alleged big big proof that the

election was rigged we haven't seen it

yet uh to my satisfaction but I would

say all the indications

are it's it's

coming I I've never seen more

foreshadowing for anything in my life

now it doesn't guarantee that there's

something out there that's

corrupt and it doesn't guarantee that if

there is we never see it but it sure

feels like it is everybody having the

same feeling that it just feels like

between now and November something's

going to break on that story about the

2020

election I don't know if I'd put money

on it but it sure feels like it just

things are getting that way all right

MSNBC is reporting that uh Joe Biden

said and I quote uh every time he hears

Trump speak he gets Juiced

up he gets Juiced up whenever he hears

Trump

speak well I think I need to hear more

about that juice um because I think KLA

Harris is Juiced up every time she hears

Trump speak I don't know if it's the

same juice could be a different

juice but whatever juice they're pumping

into H Biden might be a different juice

they're pumping into Kamala but they

seem pretty Juiced up to me

all right uh speaking of rasmon they did

a poll says 35% of likely us voters say

that if Trump wins this year's election

they would support Democrats in Congress

refusing to certify the election

results is that the best that's the just

the best poll I love the fact that rasos

even asked that

question it's just perfect because

35%

saying that it wouldn't certify a trump

Victory now keep in mind that the

question does not suggest that there

might have been something wrong with the

election so the question does not say if

you suspected there was something wrong

with the election would you be against

certifying it no it just says would you

be against certifying it just if he

wins so there might be some assumptions

embedded in people's answers as in as in

they might assume that that means is

rigged but that would sound a lot like

the magga people wouldn't it what

percentage of the country do you think

are Mega Republicans

go what percentage of the country are

Mega

Republicans

35 was that high 35% I think that's

about the number of Republicans and the

number of you know Trump leaning

Republicans is pretty close so BAS

basically it looks like there are a few

more people who would support the

Democrats doing exactly what the

Republicans tried to do except that the

Republicans weren't trying to do

that were they do you think the January

6 people were trying to prevent

certification well it kind of means kind

of depends what you mean by that if

prevent if prevent means permanently

prevent that's not what the January 6ers

is asked for they did not ask for it to

be permanently prevented they wanted a

delay to make sure it was a good

election but these Democrats don't say

anything about a delay 35% of Voters

which will include some apparently that

would include some Republicans I don't

know how many not many probably they

would they would refuse to

certify so I guess there's no moral

argument

left and let me say again the problems

coming from inside the house

yeah it's inside the house well

something called the Academy Awards

happened last night which apparently is

some kind of celebration of movies that

um I would not watch because they're all

terrible I could I recognized zero

movies that were nominated and I have no

intention of seeing any of them because

the more likely uh it is to get an award

the less likely it's good entertainment

because it means they packed it with you

crap um but let's there number of

stories that came out of it number one

some guy named Jonathan

Glazer uh got up there and he got

rupard rupar is when you get taken out

of context so part of your comments are

removed to make it very different from

what he actually intended so let me tell

you what he said and then I'll tell you

how he got

rupard he said and by the way I'm not

agreeing I'm not agreeing with what he's

saying I'm just telling you what he said

he said right now we stand here as men

who refute their jewishness and the

Holocaust being hijacked by an

occupation that has led to Conflict for

so many innocent people so his framing

is that the uh Israel occupying that

territory so he would call it occupying

others would call it something else um

is uh basically it makes them feel bad

because their you know their jewishness

and the the

Holocaust are being being cheapened so

basically he's saying that you know Jews

and you know this this big idea of the

Holocaust are being cheapened by what's

happening there that got taken out of

context now just to be clear I'm not

saying he said something I agree with

and then they reversed it I'm not saying

that but he did get take it out of

context so they dropped the second part

where he says being hijacked by an

occupation and and it got reported as

right now we stand here as men who

refute their jewishness and the

Holocaust

no they were not refuting their

jewishness and the Holocaust but that's

how it got reported on social media by a

lot of people that you follow probably

now what he did say might be equally OD

and terrible to the people who are his

critics but it wasn't what he

said just to be clear that wasn't what

he

said um interestingly you know we always

you always hear people saying that uh

Jew that Hollywood is you know run by

Jews I'm not saying that that's you

common meme you hear yet um it seemed

like the biggest theme was

pramas how do you explain that how do

you get a job so a number of the people

who went to the Oscars were

wearing um Pro

ceasefire messages so a lot of them were

Pro ceasefire now if you were Jewish

there's a good chance that you interpret

pro- ceasefire not everybody of course

everybody's different but there would be

a lot of Jewish people who would say

that if you're Pro ceasefire you're kind

of pro Hamas because that's what they're

asking for it's literally what they're

asking for and you know that would give

you the problem of how do you solve it

in the long run if you do a

ceasefire um so how do how do the actors

who are pro ceasefire ever get work

again is that going to be a

problem or or has something happened in

Hollywood they just opposed the whole

town where the town is full of Jewish

actors and Jewish managers Etc but

they've all gone to or have a

substantial number of them turned into

ceasefire supporters which would feel to

many like Kamas

supporters I don't know I feel like

Hollywood has done every single thing

they can to destroy their own uh

industry so the

wokeness you know made it terrible to

watch and you know movies are boring in

general because other things are just

more exciting these days and faster and

get to the point faster so movies are

like a dead art form in my opinion but

then they add this thing like why do why

do the Hollywood actors think that they

need to be making comments about Israel

during the AC

Awards like where did they get that idea

you can't separate those a little

bit anyway Jimmy Kimble was the host uh

he was pretty cringey according to

people who don't like him but according

to the wild sealike clapping in the

audience to his bad jokes when he made

fun of uh Trump being up past his jail

time uh and then the the audience Wonder

oh Trump in jail were you so happy we

you so happy Trump in jail um so it was

disgusting on that level that they were

cheering for an innocent man to go to

jail innocent would be my opinion

innocent till proven

guilty and then the biggest surprise of

all apparently there were guidelines for

the Academy Awards to and movie well

guidelines for movies so the guidelines

for movies were to include a lot of

diversity and they had pretty specific

guidelines of you know make sure you've

got at least two from this group and you

know Etc and then after all that Pro

diversity stuff uh let's see how it went

pachy Keenan is reporting this on X best

picture went to uh well that was an allh

cast right probably an anomaly the best

sporting actor went to oh white guy best

actor though went to well that was white

guy however however the best actress

went to well a white woman but not not

to feel bad because the best director

went to well white guy and but at least

to redeem the best director for short

films went well white guy so a lot of

white people won stuff I'm not

complaining about it I'm just saying how

the hell did that

happen does Hollywood have some kind of

a a weird self-hatred internal

Revolution that's going on is there a

Civil War in Hollywood I don't know

what's going on I have no

idea uh also the best s to a white woman

um do you all know sha

King who uh is famous as a black

activist who many of his critics say

Sean you don't even look black I I don't

even think you're

black so um that's one part of his story

but apparently he's up the ante and he's

become a uh he's embraced Islam so as of

yesterday Shan King is a Muslim so so

he's a black

Muslim so so that's good so um I don't

want to say that Shan King is the poor

man's Andrew

Tate but I really do so I'm gonna say it

sha King is the poor man's Andrew

Tate I just like saying people are the

poor man something it's always funny

it's never it's never not

funny all right meanwhile Trump was

posting on Truth during the uh

Academy Awards and jimmmy Kimmel

actually read his post live here's what

it was from Trump uh on on Truth he said

has there ever been a worse host than

Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars his opening

was that of a less than average person

trying too hard to be something he is

not and never can be get rid of Kimmel

and perhaps replace him with another

washed up but cheap ABC Talent George

soplos George

slopis he would make everybody on stage

look bigger stronger and more

[Laughter]

glamorous and he says uh after a really

bad politically correct show tonight and

for years just jointed boring and very

unfair why don't they just give the

Oscars to those that deserve them maybe

that way Their audience and TV ratings

will come back from the depths make

America great

again Trump is never not

funny it's like he doesn't have the

capability to not be funny if you know

if you like his whole act right if you

hate him you hate him let's talk about

ABC News George

soplos who you know as stephanopolous so

he got into it with Nancy mace

Republican on the

show and it was fascinating because they

both are uh so both of them are really

good with media right George anop

obviously great understanding of media

and how to use it but a you know a

biased partisan for Democrats Nancy May

same thing super good at all media

things you know the camera loves her

lots of good quotes and stuff so these

are two people who really understand how

the the media Works do you know what

people do when somebody who really

understands the media and his partisan

interview somebody else who really

understands the media and his partisan

well was kind of hilarious because Nancy

mace kept trying to frame the questions

from Stephanopoulos as quote trying to

shame a rape victim which she repeated

over and over and over

again meanwhile stopus was framing as

the jury found Trump liable for rape

which didn't happen in the real world by

the way um but also what didn't happen

in the real world is step is trying to

shap Nancy maer as a rape

victim so both of them just continually

repeated their claims which were

ridiculous they're both ridiculous but

they're both so smart about the media

that they know that all that mattered is

what they

repeated so they were actually in just

not even in the same conversation and

neither of them cared to fix

it you have to say it as fascinating

there you might if you were a little

less let's say informed about how things

work it would look like two people who

couldn't have a conversation or somebody

avoiding a question or somebody asking

illegitimate questions and trying to

score points that's sort of the old way

to look at it but if you understand that

the two people are you know brilliant at

handling media events brilliant I mean

they're top 1% easily um then you

understand that they know that the

audience can't follow an

argument the audience a can't follow any

complicated argument so what you can do

is just repeat over and over something

you want them to

hear so if you were a pro Nancy mace and

you spent you know any one second

looking at that video you'd say man I

hate that SLO anopolis guy to quote

Trump he's trying to to shame a rape

victim I watched the whole thing nothing

like that happened not even a little bit

at the same time uh did the jury find

Trump for rape nope completely made up

but he wants everybody to think that

happen so what did happen well Byron

York tries to explain what the jury did

find and I think you can join me in

saying what all right so here's the

here's Byron yor try Byron yor Byron

York trying to explain it he said in

fact the jury specifically found Trump

not liable for rape it found him liable

for quote sexual abuse the judge later

tried to spin the decision citing laws

that did not

apply okay according to Byron York laws

did not apply to argue that the jury

implicitly found Trump liable for

rape I don't even know what that

sentence

means like I understand it as

English but like what's it really mean

in the real world how in the world does

a judge cite a law that doesn't exist to

argue that the jury found in their in

their own minds they were thinking

something other than what they

said but I guess something like that

happened you know Byron York is very

credible in his

analyses uh in the absence of an actual

jury finding of rape the jur the judge

guessed that the jury's decision

necessarily implies

rape do do you understand why Nancy mace

would not want to get into a decision

about the

details because you can't you can't

explain the story in the details you

could read that sentence like 15 times

and go I'm not exactly sure what right

do you do any of you even understand

that issue that the judge used a law

that doesn't exist to read the minds of

the

jury

what anyway so those are good two good

media pros at

work um

did you know that apparently half of the

country is unaware according to recent

survey that uh the non-documented SL

noncitizens get counted in the census

now you might say to yourself well so

what the census is just trying to figure

out who's here so they're here might as

well count them so what you might not

remember is that the census is in part

and maybe largely the main reason is to

figure out how many

representatives um are applicable so if

they can uh they being the Democrats if

they can pump up areas with extra um

non-citizens then the census when it

rolls around will say Hey you need some

extra Representatives because you got

some extra people those extra

Representatives would allow the

Democrats to have a majority and Rule

forever as kings and

queens um the Trump Administration I

guess tried to get citizenship to be the

only valid answer on the census you know

so that it didn't have this distorting

effect and um musk is pointing that out

Elan musk and it's obvious that this is

isn't it obvious to you that this is all

intentional I mean that's what mus is

saying it's obviously intentional to

pump up the power of the Democrats at

any cost cost and the any cost would be

extra crime

Etc and cost

um

so you think the problem is the

immigrants right do you think the

problem is the migrants do you think the

problem is the cartel do you think the

problem is um George

Soros well to me it looks like the

problem is coming from inside the house

because none of those things would

matter if the Democrats didn't want it

to happen because we would just have

stronger laws Etc so the problem with um

migration is coming entirely from

inside and it's intentional because if

if a if a system continues to give you

one kind of output and you don't change

it that must be the output you want

because you do have the ability to

change it so so you must we we must

assume that this plot to increase power

at the cost of American citizens is

exactly what it looks like speaking of

things that are exactly what they look

like do you remember me saying the only

explanation for why we're not doing

anything useful about fenel and about

the Border must be that the cell is on

our side now when I say our side I mean

must be working with American power

interests otherwise we would stop it and

then Mike Ben who has more information

than I do I was just looking at the

system and saying hey if the system

keeps giving you the same result and the

government has the ability to change it

but does nothing that must be the result

they want and therefore they must be

working with the cartels to control

Mexico and Central

America but I was just talking through

my ass based on the system all I did was

look at the output I simply looked at

the output and said all right if

nobody's trying very hard to change it

they must want it it what could be the

possible explanation for wanting this

and the only explanation is that we're

the ones doing it if it were coming only

from the outside as a risk to Americans

we would have stopped it somehow but

we're not even trying in in a way that

looks like trying you know there's

little stuff but not

really so Mike

benza says

um that the reason that uh the

department defense CIA in the state and

D department of homand security they all

tried to stop Trump from building a

border

wall because as Mike Ben says if we lose

the cartels we lose Latin

America that's

right we need the cartels for America to

have control over the governments of

other countries because the only way we

can control the governments is to

control the cartels because the cartels

control the

governments so basically we are we are

consciously we meaning these groups of

three-letter people are consciously

allowing 100,000 people to die from

overdoses and consciously allowing us to

be overrun with crime and uh

migrants uh because it gives us control

over the other

countries now is that a is that a bad

decision I'm going to surprise you

because it surprised me but as you know

I've been the probably one of the most

vocal critics about the Border as well

as fenol and not doing enough about it

because in my opinion it was a

contributing factor to my stepson's

overdose and so I was really really mad

at the government for seeing the problem

much like Elan musk points out you can

see the Flames why are you trying to put

them out and and that was was really

frustrating to have you know a death in

the family that looked like it you know

could have been maybe if not preventable

there could have been a lot more that

could have been done and then not to

watch nothing being done was like the

worst most painful feeling you could

imagine that I couldn't stop it from

happening to somebody else's kid I mean

really that's all you have left all you

have left when you lose your own kid is

you can make something good out of it

you know you try to turn into a positive

anything so you know maybe you do a

charity a lot of people would do stuff

like that uh I thought my role would be

to try to persuade tougher action

against uh Mexico for the fenel

specifically I can now see that that's a

waste of

energy I can now see that this was a

conscious tradeoff and a better way to

see the death of all of the uh young

people and other people dying from

fentanyl is that they're effectively

like conscript

in other words it's like having a draft

except the draft is based on who got

addicted so the people who got addicted

are um essentially War casualties

because the war in this case is to

control the other countries by working

with the cartels productively to do that

and the expense of that just like the

expense of any War would be the soldiers

you lose and the soldiers in this case

didn't sign up for it except they kind

of

did you know what if you're an addict

you didn't sign up to die and you didn't

sign up to fight the cartels but you did

sign up for something that was going to

put you in the middle of that

mix and you did sign up for something

that gave you a pretty good risk of

dying and it is true that people

consciously put themselves in that

situation and so I've actually had a

change of opinion that when you know

it's coming from inside the house

meaning that the drugs coming into the

country are America's

Choice then I see it as basically a

forced conscription like a draft except

that the addicts who became were the

ones who paid for the war they pay for

it literally by buying the drugs and it

looks like the uh our three letter

agencies probably share some of that and

use it for for bad

gains but yeah so my step kid was killed

in this war he didn't know he was

in

so there's

that uh and I actually feel different

about it now because the thing I don't

know is if we're better

off I don't know if we're better off as

a country by controlling Central and

South

America if we're doing it just for money

or something then of course it's the

height of evil but if we're doing it

because people who are a lot smarter

than me say you know if we don't do this

it's going to be way worse it's going to

be way worse if we don't do it because

they'll just you know Central and South

America will you know have I don't know

economic problems with a bad government

and dictators will bring in Chinese

Rockets you know all kinds of problems

so I don't know you know I I try to be a

realist and I say obviously I didn't

want my stepson to die but he didn't die

the way I thought he did the way I

thought he did was there were too many

drugs and and he took some it looks like

the drugs are intentional it's the way

they fund their their control of other

countries and that effectively he was a

conscript you just didn't know or or you

might say he was a volunteer but he

didn't know he was volunteering for that

well what about those gangs in Haiti as

you know the the government is in I know

disappeared dur in some other country

the leader I guess the leader was put in

by some kind of CIA FBI plot according

to also Mike Benz and the president was

assassinated largely by our Spooks plus

who they worked with in the in that

country who were probably not good

people and then the bad people took over

and then uh emptied the jails released

the prisoners and now the reports are

that there are cannibal

gangs um that are going around eating

people and the streets are just pure

crime and violence now now a lot of

people are saying do you remember when

Trump called these other countries

hole countries and people said you can't

say that well uh I'm not going to call

them a hole country because I've

learned that that is an inappropriate

thing to say so Haiti is not a hole

country it is merely a country with no

functional economy or government in

which the streets are ruled by criminal

gangs and cannibalism is becoming a

national problem but not a

hole not now that's the bad news here's

the good news the good news is that the

cannibals in Haiti um have a better diet

than most

Americans and uh they're getting a good

protein Source not a lot of additives

and the reports are U oh there are very

few chronic illnesses in Haiti among the

canals so the American diet as you know

will give you a lot of chronic illnesses

RFK Jr will tell you that for sure but

in Haiti they're they got a cleaner

protein they're just eating each other

and no no chronic illness it's carnivore

diet um but and then other people are

saying but hey Scott don't joke about

this because those Haiti gangs are going

to come to America the cannibals are

going to come here and start eating

Americans

and I'm not sure that's a

problem because if if we just sort of

lock ourselves in doors the the

cannibals are going to end up eating

people around

doors so they're they're going to eat a

lot of homeless people probably eat a

lot of the uh Venezuelan uh prisoners

that were released so if we get the

cannibals to eat the Venezuelan um

prisoners that came up from

Venezuela that could be a plus so in the

short run two plans short run you get

the Haiti cannibals to eat the other

migrants but eventually that's not going

to work because if the uh cannibals stay

here in America long enough um

apparently the microplastics in the

water will cause them to lose their

health and vigor and they might lose uh

all of their cannibalistic urges um

because they'll mostly be playing video

games and masturbating like Americans

and uh they just won't have the energy

they'll probably just door Dash like

everybody

else they'll be like well I could go

kill a homeless person and eat them cuz

I'm a cannibal or I could just door Dash

play video games and masturbate so in

the long run I wouldn't worry about it

it'll take care of

itself meanwhile there's a study in of

Great Britain that says that the water

is so polluted that the men's sperm

count is going down and they're shooting

blanks uh this is coming from Sir Tim

Smith who is 69 they have to tell you so

I don't I don't that just

seemed a story about sperm and they got

to tell us that the guy's age is 69 I

don't know why do we need to know

that why do we need to know that anyway

the UK's rivers and seas are so packed

with chemicals that all the men are

turning into hermaphrodites and frogs

are gay and stuff something like

that but uh so yeah that's another

example of the problems coming from

inside the house meanwhile in the city

of Pittsburgh they're cutting back on

the police responses so between 3:00

a.m. and 7:00 a.m. uh no police will

show up if you report certain kinds of

things like theft harassment criminal

mischief and burglar burglary

alarms well I'm not so sure you need the

police in all those situations so that

might actually make sense we'll see

let's talk about ticktock as you know

Trump uh was against it but now he's for

it because his biggest donor has like I

don't know $30 billion invested in bite

dance so the biggest donor looks like he

bought off um at least Trump and VI and

maybe Rand Paul and maybe Thomas Massie

maybe others and there are reports uh

one lawmaker told the publication Su for

they had been personally threatened by a

uh that a yes vote to ban Tik Tock could

result in political retaliation they

said it would be bad for your future and

you'll get millions of dollars dropped

in your head meaning you know for your

opponent so so that's what's happening

so um if you thought that the the risk

of Tik Tock was coming from China it was

not it was coming from an American

investor who has so much money that he

can essentially buy the Loyalty of trump

and V and Rand Paul and Thomas Massie

apparently now I'll just say allegedly

because you can't read anybody's minds

but that's what it looks like and if you

want to make sure that's not the case

what you would do is You' listen to

V and you'd make sure that he knew what

the critical problem was which is the

persuasion

threat so you could find out if he's

bought

off or he's lying by whether or not he

says he understands the greatest threat

so here's an update so if aake says yes

yes I understand the threat of Tik Tock

is a persuasion threat then maybe he's

got an honest opinion but if he ignores

the persuasion threat and talks about

things like data and children spending

too much time on it then you'd know he's

bought off in my opinion right can't

read his mind but that would be the

indication so let's see what he says

listen for what reasons does he give why

Tik Tock is bad president Trump just

came out against a legislative measure

that would require the owner of Tik Tock

to divest it it's currently a Chinese

owner a company called bite dance or

else that it would be banned in the

United States President Trump just came

out opposing that I think that's the

right decision actually of President

Trump to oppose that legislation because

it doesn't make any sense and I've long

said this even late in the campaign took

a lot of heat from fellow Republicans

give reasons I think we have to ask

ourselves the why and this is the

problem with professional politicians

Trump is a professional politician and

neither am I but many people in

professional politics they look at what

they're supposed to say and they act

like billiard balls on a pool table they

go in whatever Direction they're hit

without thinking about the actual don't

really need the analogy just re

Republican party give us a reason let's

take a step back and ask about the why

of what's going on here what you get to

it concern that people have with dict

what it problem it kids not just Tik Tok

that applies to a bunch of other social

media platforms can you tell us and that

is an issue we need to tackle why don't

you get to it I do think there

should be Age based restrictions on

using addictive social media okay that's

not the point specific point yeah this

point about relates to a different

concern oh here it comes the use and

provision of data us user data

potentially to the Chinese Communist

party and I think that is a major

concern it's not the major concern it's

a major isn't limited to just Tik Tock

or even chinese-owned companies in the

US here it comes it expands to include

even so-called us companies that are

still beholding to the CCP because they

do business in China here's an example A

couple of years ago there was good Wall

Street Journal reporting this is all

by the way Airbnb not the issue

us company supposedly us company at

least

was dat the CCP not the issue for doing

business yeah it's also bad but it's not

the big issue Jal Sean Joyce the Chief

privacy officer of Airbnb resigned over

that because it wasn't properly

disclosed to the public and one of

airbnb's co-founders reported come on

let's talk about persuasion to promote

American values and the big problem is

what's the big problem put a little

black Square on their Instagram the

problem matter that virtue signaling

aside this is what they say behind cled

doors it's not just Airbnb though it

applies to countless other us companies

we have to ask ourselves the why the why

why are you getting to the point

real concern we ought to have is the

provision of us consumer and user dat to

the Chinese Communist not the point get

the point against come on ban us

companies from providing us user data

tell us Persuasions

me of the say it but it is beyond silly

to just pick one randomy and go after

them because that is temporarily a

politically popular divers actually

failing to solve the actual problem the

companies and US companies alike

including the US companies that do

business in China now here's the real

problem with a Republican party is when

it has its head stuck in the stand this

oh now we're going to talk politics

without actually talking about the

problem Democrats are all over reaching

the next generation of Americans while

Republicans are virtue signaling amongst

themselves failing to actually bring

those new voters Along by meeting them

at least on the platform that is

operating in the United States now it's

about politics I became one of the rare

Republicans when I was running for

president one of the rare Republican

candidates who did open a Tik Tok

[Music]

account any

questions yeah it's exactly what it

looks like so yeah apparently they were

just bought bought off now what Trump

says is that um he said he thinks Tik

Tock is a national security threat but

he couldn't support Congress Banning it

because it would boost support for

Facebook which he says is the enemy of

the

people now first of all would it would

it boost um say Instagram that it's

owned by Facebook do you think it would

boost Instagram because Instagram's a

competing service you know they have

reals that are like Tik toks I think so

probably

um but would that make any difference I

don't think it would make enough

difference is is the reason that

Facebook is the enemy of the people do

they have only barely enough money to be

the enemy of the

people

right's not wrong he's just um he's

diverting did you hear me say he was

wrong no I didn't say he's wrong I said

that they were bought off but and

they're that they're markedly so the

people who are not bought off

are um

Crawford and

um uh well I'll give you some other

names but the the people who mention

persuasion

specifically they're not bought off

because they know the big problem if

they say persuasion first as the big

problem then you could say they're not

bought

off um so Facebook has all the money it

needs to be the enemity the people it

wouldn't make any difference if they had

a little extra money from some Tick Tock

people coming over that is obviously not

a real reason Trump is giving you the

best reason he can it's a lie it's

because they're they're it's because

they're big donor owns a big piece of it

so the problem on Tik Tok is coming from

inside the house your government

government apparently will not be there

to help you whatsoever on the question

of Tik Tock so it's up to the

parents

um let me check

in you you think that krenshaw said

persuasion is the big problem but that

he's bought off who who's going to pay

for

that who who would buy who would buy him

off

you have to figure out who would pay for

that nobody would pay for

that all right uh Adam shiff who

uh still hasn't uh passed The Uncanny

Valley problem where you don't look like

a human you look you look at him and you

go I don't even know if I'm looking at a

human there is that a human

being anyway uh Schiff and John Brennan

are saying the same message what's that

tell you

if Adam Schiff and John Brenan go both

go on TV and say the same thing about

Trump what do you know about the thing

they said they are

literally The hoax team The hoax team is

Clapper Brennan chiff swell Rasin right

and others but if you see them working

together on any Trump related thing it's

a

hoax it's what they do they don't send

these guys out for the true stuff

because the stuff you don't need hoaxers

they save the hoaxers for just hoaxes so

as soon as you see that bread and and

shiff said the same thing which is that

uh the Intel people probably won't give

president

Trump um as a candidate or maybe even in

office the the good stuff on the Pres on

the intelligence briefings because they

don't trust him with all of his you know

boxes at moral

Lago they don't they don't explain why

it was okay that uh Biden had a bunch of

boxes but they say that uh they'll

probably leave out uh quote the sources

and

methods because they're afraid that uh

Trump would give the sources and methods

away to to somebody now here's my

question why would you ever tell a

president the sources and methods

whether it's Trump or somebody

else isn't that exactly what you

shouldn't tell somebody who's not you

know deep into the secret part of the

government I think the secret part of

the government should

say um here's what we know and then when

they say how do you know it you know you

can say something general but should you

be giving sources and

methods should

you it seems like it should never be

written down but if the president asks

for

it don't you think they should answer as

in how do we know this is true and they

could say something like well we we have

human intelligence sources that we trust

and they've been right before is that

something that's going to give away the

store you most of these are kind of

obvious how we get you know it's either

a human or intelligence or something but

anyway so I have a question whether any

president ever got something that secret

the sources and methods except for the

generic stuff so I don't even think the

I don't think the issue is real but when

you see Brennan and shiff on it it means

that they're part of a hoax to make it

seem that Trump is uniquely un

untrustworthy with information it's just

part of a

narrative there's a video that I saw in

the ma account maaz on X um shows

President Obama in 2009 talking about

immigration and saying we can't have a

million people pouring over the Border

half a million pouring over the border

which is what we have per year or more

and seven years later Obama's position

is considered racist and xenophobic by

democrats

now do you do you see that none of our

national opinions are real can you see

that opinions are just

assigned I always tell you that and I

think you say to yourself well not to me

I mean some other people might get their

opinions assigned to him but you know

that doesn't apply to a thinking person

like myself

but no the Democrats were told in 2009

that you can't have a half a million

people pouring over the Border that'd be

bad and Obama said it and the news said

it so Democrats said it too and then

when everything changed for no good

reason and suddenly those people are

pouring over the Border suddenly it

would be racist and xenophobic to point

out that that was ever a bad

idea and that was immediately adopted by

Democrats is there any question in your

mind that our our opinions on politics

are just assigned to us there's nobody

who thought this through do you think

there a bunch of Democrats who who got

new information since 2009 it's like you

know in 2009 with the information we

were working with we did think it was

bad for half a million people to come

across the border but now that we're

seeing it happen all the information

suggests it's a great idea do you think

that happened no no the news told them

what to think and then they thought it

that that's all that

happened well let's talk about Israel

going into Rafa as you know um Biden

said that was going to be a red line now

a red line um let me Define what a red

line means a red line is something you

say but then you ignore because it

doesn't really mean anything in the real

world apparently uh unless you're Putin

Putin actually Putin actually acts on

red lines that's why you have Ukraine

but again I guess uh we just just use it

as a word it doesn't mean anything so

Biden said it would be a red line if

Israel goes into Rafa while there are

still civilians there of which there are

and um Netanyahu said H we're going to

do whatever we need to do we're going

into

Rafa

so are you

surprised to me this looks like good cop

bad cop business it doesn't look

real do you think that Biden really

wants Israel not to go into Rafa do you

think that's his actual

opinion it could be might actually be

but I feel like this is just obvious

good cop bad cop business because the

United States wants to act like you know

we're the the reasonable Brokers and you

know we we're the control on Israel that

they don't go too far and you know but

we're we're a little bit on both sides

you know we're going to give Aid to both

sides and and um given that we know

Netanyahu was absolutely definitely

going to do what he was going to do no

matter what we said it kind of made

sense for Biden to oppose

it so I might surprise you here too

Biden doing that fake Redline and saying

don't go into Rafa is actually probably

good politics it's probably good

politics I just don't think he means it

because he knows it doesn't make any

difference in NYU is going to do

whatever he wants but probably good but

speaking of which I should also mention

that if vake and Trump are just being

political it's probably good politics so

the the question about um Tik Tock and

banning

it if if it's true and I don't know that

this is true but it could be uh and I

think it's likely it's true if it's true

that Tik Tock was never going to be

banned because it just would never get

the votes then there's no point in VI

and Trump being on a losing side right

if they know it's going to lose you

might as well be on the side that says

hey I'm not I'm no dictator I'm not g to

BR I'm not g to ban this free speech so

it looks like Trump and VI have found

the political Sweet Spot which is you

act like you're in favor of Free Speech

but you have to you have to lie through

your teeth about what you understand

about the risk of Tik Tok so they're

obviously lying through their

teeth Laura Trump as you know is the

co-chair of the uh RNC now and uh people

saying there's some good indications

there so she's going strong to suggest

Republicans work hard for ballot

harvesting the legal kind the legal kind

not any illegal stuff but everybody

understood that if you don't ball

Harvest like crazy you can't win in

today's environment so at least she's

fighting fire with fire

and you know I heard some of you being

skeptical about her as uh the person in

this job I actually have a really high

opinion of

her you know just from a little bit of

interaction she's interviewed me a few

times and every time I see her she just

looks like such a put together serious

cap person you know just in general and

I guess she's going to utilize Scott

Pressler as well um who everybody who

likes him knows that that's a good idea

so Pressler is apparently a superstar

for registering Republicans to vote and

why wouldn't you use your

Superstar it's been puzzling that he

wasn't didn't have a higher profile

because he obviously knows how to do

this work so two indications that Lara

is not only right for the job but

already on it and doing some positive

things there's a report that said Trump

when he met with musk wanted him to

speak at the Republican National

Convention CNBC is saying

that that didn't

happen now actually let me revise that

it might have happened because you know

doesn't know to ask but musk is never

going to speak at the Republican

National

Convention who who takes that

seriously really do do any of you think

that he would be dumb enough to speak

for one of the two major political

parties when he's trying to sell cars to

everybody of course

not of course

not that's the most ridiculous thing

I've ever heard he he's like one of the

smartest guys in the world and CNBC is

you know reporting it like you know

maybe he'd be mulling over doing the

dumbest thing in the world the dumbest

thing in the world would be to give a

speech at one of the party's conventions

nothing would be dumber than that and

and he'd be doing extra work to be doing

the dumbest thing no that's not gonna

happen uh Scott presler is actually on

the road getting signed up

yeah I don't know how he gets funded but

he's doing the

work yeah musk has to depend on the

government liking him for a lot of his

businesses that's true all right is

there any story I missed and did I make

my case that the problem is coming from

inside the

house Tick Tock problem inside the house

border

problem coming from inside the

house

yep

oh it's funny I can tell people who

don't know anything about Me by whether

they believe the uh forchan um hoax

about my pandemic

beliefs I live in this weird world where

anybody who follows me know I knows I

had the best uh predictions about the

pandemic by far and nobody was even

close I just I just nailed that

thing but uh foren reversed it and made

it look like I get everything wrong so

so some percentage of the planet thinks

I'm the worst ever when it was probably

the best prediction performance of all

time by the way I do take some

credit and and and also tell you when I

get something things wrong because I

think that's

fair um otherwise you know since what I

do here is make

predictions I should tell you when I get

them wrong and I should tell you when I

get them

right Peter Navaro got four months in

prison

oh my

God uh Pittsburgh yeah we talked about

that uh there are some people never saw

foran but the hoax started there so if

you heard somebody who believed it then

you got it from somebody who got it from

forchan

um Scott millions of people have built

businesses on Tik Tok they'll have their

lives ruined if it's

banned

true yeah there's nothing that's

free I'm looking at the people who fell

for it they're trying they're trying to

redeem themselves uh here's one clot

failed on Co and now pretends he didn't

you should be very embarrassed that you

fell for a forchan

hoax are you aware that I predicted that

the vaccinations would not

work when it was announced never changed

my

mind were you aware of that do do you

know I was against mandates all the time

and I was never in favor of masks and I

was part of the part of the activism to

get them

removed so anyway you should be

embarrassed that you fell for a fortune

hoax uh no I watched your V videos no

you didn't if you watched my videos then

you're dumber than you act like because

look at the

comments look at the comments the the

other people who watch the videos too

will tell you you got everything

wrong all right

um uh some of you want to hate uh Dan

khaw well I don't I don't know what

other issues you have with him but he's

right on Tik Tok on Tik Tok he exactly

right other things I don't

know didn't I get the VAC what's that

got to do with

anything so some of you think I got the

uh the pandemic wrong because I got the

vax let let me say this clearly for

those of you who don't understand what

business is it what I did for my

own

health what's that got to do with

anybody and how do you know I didn't

make the right

decision because if you believe anything

about data about the

pandemic you're an idiot anything that

agrees with you or anything that doesn't

agree with you there's no data about the

pandemic that's reliable so there's a

school of thought that says that people

my age with a

comorbidity may have gotten some

protection

um and I don't know if I did but might

have and I got as far as I know no

negative

effects I'm healthier than I've ever

been as far as I can tell and I got to

go on great worldwide vacations which

part was a

mistake now you might say but later

there might be a problem and then then

you'd be right but it wouldn't mean I

made a mistake because let me let me

explain what a lot of you don't

understand we'll put it in Easy terms

let's say there's a two paths and one of

them has a 90% chance of working and one

of them has a 10% chance of working all

right there's two paths let's say and we

don't know we just we're just guessing

and I've got my reasons you've got your

reasons but I take the path where

there's a 90% chance of being right but

I get unlucky so the 10% kicks in so so

there was a 90% chance I'd be right but

I wasn't somebody else took the the path

with a 10% chance of being

right and they got

lucky what would the person who was a

10% chance of right say after they got

lucky they would say they were

Geniuses and they would say that I made

the wrong

choice but I didn't make the wrong

choice I got the wrong

outcome so if your analytical abilities

can't

separate the wrong outcome from making

the right choice based on

statistics then you shouldn't be talking

about it that's that's pretty basic

stuff now some of you also say that you

knew you knew it would be bad for you

because it was the government and big

Fara nobody trusted that not me not

anybody nobody trusted it so I waited

nine months to see who dropped dead

because if I believed it I would have

gone

first I waited like nine months people

weren't dropping dead in my age group if

I had been young do you think I would

have gotten it probably not if I didn't

have a comorbidity asthma uh and it

wasn't a lung disease do you think I

would have gotten it probably not don't

know but probably not so a lot of you

are generalizing from your personal

experience to what I should have done

with my person health and that's

actually

stupid you can only say that you got a

result you liked or that you guessed

right but your opinion of what I did for

my personal medical situation is first

of all you can't know if it worked or

not there's no reliable data I don't

have any outcomes that are bad so far

that I'm aware of and uh I had a great

year and you had to stay

home so how did I lose what where's the

part where I'm worse off because I don't

see it in that story I I see I had more

freedom than you and in the long run so

far it cost me

nothing am I wrong I had more freedom

because I was not afraid of the shot

after nine months of watching people my

age not die from

it all right that's enough of that we're

done with the pandemic I I'd appreciate

it if you never bring up the pandemic

again

yeah it's just too boring it like it

forces me to talk about it and then you

know to just correct your

misperceptions I'm just bored with it

all

right so so this guy says Scott coming

out is proax now did you hear that

did you hear me say provax did

you hear me say that I said it wouldn't

work and as far as I know it didn't work

work for for most

people now which part is

provax are you still unable to hear what

I'm saying you can't handle that level

of complexity

lensar or or are you just a troll I

can't tell if you're a

idiot and or bad hearing

comprehension it's hard to tell all

right we'll just assume you're

stupid all right uh that's all for now

and uh

grifter they lied yeah you're all off

the point all right that's all for now

I'll see you tomorrow maybe I'll have

better internet I doubt it and thanks

for

joining ah well I have a technical teal

problem that doesn't allow me to end the

stream what do I do about

that well I'll probably have to close

the browser page and get

back
