Episode 2412 CWSA 03/13/24

come on in and chat while we do the pre-show the real show starts at top of the hour as always we've got eight minutes first I will print my notes so there is much a miss good morning hello Stefan well all the locals people are in here fast are the Tates in jail again I think it's getting close not yet but it's getting close oh my goodness have you noticed that uh people with one one set of views seem to be going to jail a lot I'll bet you have noticed hey Owen streaming on Rumble you did not miss the zp the Sip doesn't begin until the top of the hour we're at the pre-show where sometimes there is a premature sip premature culation you'll be in uh Kawai in 12 days all right good place to be yeah it's a chilling chilling effect on speech you're right let's check our stocks rumble's up 5% we're at over eight now but most importantly what about my Camping World stock Camping World my my theory that there are going to be more tents let me tell you how that that's working out I will check my uh my my even though they don't make a lot of tents they're more about campers I think uh campers are going to be the the future all right let's see how we're doing good camping camping world is up I mean up lately not bad um has anybody seen the 34 Minute glitch since I got my Internet fixed have you seen that yet did I kill Scott Adams official on Tik Tok yet well I didn't know anybody contact you about your Tik Tock Theory from mancave no sitting in the Box checking your stocks oh Massie is debating the the ban yeah there won't be a ban I think the it disappeared when when I was on 5G oh that answers the question so I uh found out what happened to my network so apparently I complained enough on the xplatform uh and on You.

Tube and whatnot that uh they upgraded my entire neighborhood so apparently they were doing upgrades anyway and it looks like it was a trivial matter maybe they added a piece of equipment I don't know but um all they did was open a box and make a few changes and the entire neighborhood just went up massively so I sign on a message to my neighbors because we're all connected on a Whats.

App group and I said uh if he knows your internet speeds are better you're welcome and people are sending me screenshots of their internet speeds they're all happy way too many people making tons of money on Tik Tok well I wonder how many I wonder how many ticktock ban a trojan horse against X probably the arguments against the band seem pretty strong well yeah I I'll save that we'll we won't leave that in the green room all right Jen's g g got the okay for more bandwidth maybe maybe um what will I do with the hey Button after I own Tik Tok well I don't think Rumble offered to buy Tik Tok I don't think that's what happen I think Rumble was um basically selling access to their Rumble Network so I think they wanted to host it not be an owner if I understand that correctly even the rich have to fight to get decent service uh Force social media companies to be sold that is correct well forces them under some conditions well thank you Paul uh last six minutes of man cave showed you can think circles around the rest of us I don't know what that was about that was about my Tik Tock Theory oh Pavo laosi mentioned maybe Rumble should buy it well how could Rumble buy it rumble's worth two billion and they have 200 million in cash Tik tok's worth what a trillion I don't know how they could buy it maybe they could be part of a larger purchasing group or something well looks like we're very close to the beginning of the show don't let me uh miss the top of the hour Bonino said they did offer to buy it I don't know how they could do that isn't Trump saying he'll have more flexibility after the election uh well I don't think he said that Finance it I wonder if he could I don't know if you could you really ever pay enough to give Tik Tock what they think it's worth why don't big names form their own platform why don't you ask truth social that question they tried it it's time is time it's time for the pre-show to end and the real show to begin good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams because that's what it is if you'd like to take your experience and it's an experience let me tell you up to a level that nobody can even imagine with their tiny human brains all you need is a cuper of marar a glass of tanker Chels a Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind filling with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous zp it happens now I feel connected to all of you with a invisible connection I thought I was going to come up with a better word than connection and then once I got there really wasn't a better one so we'll just go with that well let's just jump into the stories uh we'll do the big ones and the small ones and uh I'll do at least one thing that could get me cancelled maybe more more cancel than I already am uh well the tape brothers are looking at some say life in prison in the UK and you're probably saying to yourself my God what are the charges is that are so so bad that they could go to prison for life and the answer is um I don't know I looked I clicked a bunch of things I read a bunch of things but I have no idea is it some kind of uh sexual charge or something does anybody know I've not seen any news of what the charges are now I think Andrew Tate said he he's worried it could turn into an a son situation that situation being somebody who's really a political prisoner but the system is treating them like they're a normal prisoner or a normal criminal and could get them killed or kept in jail forever somebody says it's a rape charge both of them both brothers coincidentally well how many of you think that's real does anybody think that the that the reason for the charges is that there's a real real crime uh I I doubt I doubt it I mean we live in a world where you just can't take anything on face value can you now I want to be clear I'm no supporter of the Tate Brothers we we've uh or at least Andrew Tate I've had my differences with him so I don't support him personally but uh when I see a situation like this it does not scream criminal it screams political and I don't think I can ignore the fact that people who have opinions a lot like is all seem to be targeted can can you think of anybody who has an opinion anywhere in the general area of the Tay brothers who has not been targeted by the government or it looks like the government or intelligence Services something like that I can't think of on can you it seems like every single person who has a certain set of opinions is targeted by the legal system for all the crimes now I don't know if the Tate brothers did any crimes like I said it's not my job to defend their character or their history or anything else I'm just saying we live in a world where my first assumption is it's probably fake isn't that terrible my first assumption which I still keep that's my current assumption is it's probably fake I hate that I even live in a world in which I have to say that but it's probably fake all right uh can you believe that yet again there was another story about the gender pay Gap and quoting the 82 cents on a dollar thing uh would you like me to tell you why that story still persists the 82 cents on a dollar now everybody who is a little bit educated uh is aware that that's just comparing apples to oranges and if you compare people with the same experience you know that disappears but why why do people keep saying it like why does it just keep coming up over and over for decades when it's been disproven by every study and every single person who knows anything about it it it's literally comparing an apple to an orange so oh more more manner in let's say stem jobs more women might be in let's say jobs that are more nurturing or taking care of people so you know sociologists and stuff and they make different money but I thought every education every educated person knows that but it turns out there's a lot who don't and do you know why this story persists even though so obviously take it out of context not true it persists because nobody can tell batshit crazy women the truth it's just too dangerous the the reason that this even exists is because there's so many people who don't know how to do any kind of analytical job can't do the research can't do the math this is a stupidity issue not a difference of opinion there's no difference of opinion everybody smart male and female knows this is fake news everyone and the reason that there people were not let's say experts and don't follow the news as much the reason they believe it that this persists is because men are too afraid to tell women the truth it's like this is not you're comparing a rock to a you know a bird yeah the the only reason that number exists is because you don't know how to analyze things which is basically like a math problem all right so that's the truth truth is it's totally fake and here's one of my standards for uh Det protecting BS it's not 100% doesn't work every single time but it's really really good it goes like this if the science or the data tells you one thing and your entire lived experience tells you the other it's probably not true it's probably not true and I always use the lung cancer example of smoking science says that smoking gives you lung cancer and sure enough I know people who smoke cigarettes and died to lung cancer so that's not proof you know my personal experience but at least it's consistent what I see matches what the scientists say pretty good um but in my entire life I've never heard of one example not even one in which a woman was paid less than a man when they had the same experience they had the same you know uh let's say qualifications did the same amount of work and negotiated just as aggressively I've never seen it have any of you ever seen it have you ever seen a verified situation where where it really was the same same years of experience same qualifications just 20% different pay I've never seen it all right here's a little mental experiment for you this will this will blow your mind take a hundred men chosen at random but they all have the same occupation 100 men just randomly chosen there are no women in the group just 100 men and let's say they're all uh I don't know they're all data analysts or something all have the same job do they all have the same pay do all the data analysts have the same pay 100 chosen randomly no of course not their pay is going to be all over the place so should you say that the people in the bottom half of the pay because it would be lots of different pay levels would I say that they've been discriminated against for being men no you would just say that any hundred people even in the same job would have you know different incomes do you think somebody studied and found the the ones that got a little extra and they're trying to correct it no we don't do that do you think anybody looked at the men who were paid less than other men for the same job and said we got to correct this no nobody gives a because it's about men but suppose you took a 100 men and 100 women randomly and some of the um and they were on the same job now if you randomly studied 100 men and 100 women would you find a whole bunch of situations in which there were in fact women who seemed to be suspiciously paid less than the men yes you would because there would be people paid all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons and all kinds of different places but you could also find in that same group men who are paid less than other men and also men who are paid less than other women so the entire the entire topic is people who don't know how to do analysis so to pretend there's some kind of difference of opinion or or that it matches your experience is just absurd now let me ask you in the comments again just so you can see each other has anybody ever you even seen one example I'm going to say in the last 10 years who limited to the last 10 years in the last 10 years has anybody ever seen one example where you were really sure that people had the same qualifications but different pay and if you had are you aware that you could find that same difference if you were only looking at men you would find men with different pay for the same jobs how do you explain that no it's all just bad analysis there's nothing else to it all right uh Trump said something that got him in a little bit of political hot order he said that in an interview asking about entitlements because as you know our budget's out of control and he said uh there's a there's a lot that can be done in entitlements in terms of cutting so then Biden got on that and said uh Trump's going to cut your entitlements now what Trump said was there's a lot that can be done in terms of cutting but I feel like there's a whole level of creativity that could be applied that hasn't been for example I'll just take myself if you gave me the option of taking half of what I would probably get in Social Security but take it now I'd probably do it and then I'd say I'd save the country a bunch of money on Social Security and then they could use that for other people because my situation isn't like other people and maybe maybe I say to myself you know what I don't know if social secury you'll go away someday I'll just take half now and you know because it's not going to be the deciding point of whether I have a good life so I'll save you some money the country by taking half would you say yes to that who loses who's a loser in that deal if I willingly say you know I'll be fine with half and you get to keep some of your money your tax money that would have gone to me are you happy so I wonder if there are other things like that for example could you say to some young people you know young people we've been doing this ordinary social security thing but if you'd like it's purely optional you can have your um Social Security put into let's say the um the stock market into an ETF nice divers ified American ETF so that you'd be well Diversified and you would do as well as the country and if you opted into it and you don't have to you might make way more money because you got stock but we would only give you maybe less we would give you less but you could have it in stock would anybody go for that probably would it work out for the people who said yes I'll take stock yeah if they're 25 wouldn't they say it probably because stock is tends to be a better idea than most things in the long long long run so I like uh I like Trump being honest enough to say there's a lot that can be done meaning that you can't just let it run forever something has to be done we all know that but I'd like to see him get get uh I'd like to see him get creative uh I think it's time for that like really really think about all the ways the free market and maybe some kind of a gambling Network and some kind of an alternative situation I bet there is a lot that can be done anyway um what I'd like to see is some new legislation to give all of our security money Social Security money to undocumented migrants so it' be a bill that says we'll just stop paying Social Security to all citizens and will just give all that money to undocumented uh immigrants now the reason I want that is not because I want it to pass that'd be crazy that'd be crazy people I don't want to give all my Social Security money away to undocumented migrants there'll just be more of them but what I do want to see is that legislation floated to see who votes for it I just want to see who votes for it just to find out like how many people are not even trying because it doesn't it seem like we've got to a situation where it's not so much difference of opinion does it feel to you like there's a philosophical difference of opinion between the Democrats and the Republicans not always sometimes yes not always what it looks to me is as some people are not even trying or they're trying to destroy the country or they're bad crazy so let's just let's just create um much the way you've heard the stories about the people who ran pranks on the scientific reviews so I think it's been done more than once where people would write totally fake scientific papers just ridiculous stuff to see if they can get it peer-reviewed and accepted and published and sure enough they can get it peer-reviewed and accepted and published and then it tells the public oh this is what's going on very useful because once you learn that half of the scientific studies are just fake you know gives you some perspective so I'd like to do the same thing come up with some fake legislation to give all of our Social Security money every single penny of it to undocumented migrants and then just watch who says yes you don't think uh you don't think half of the squad is going to say yes because it's whatever is worse for the country they seem fairly consistent about doing why I don't know well over in England the National Health Service s has decided to uh ban puberty puberty blockers for kids so kids who want to transition they're not going to be able to get their puberty blockers and the reason is that they just think it's too dangerous healthwise isn't working out risk reward wise and um I'm kind of bored with the whole trans thing every time I have to talk about it I figure like I feel like I'm being manipulated because there's nothing I care less about than the trans issues I love the trans Community yeah big fan of the lgbtq community love them all would love to them to live the best life that they can put together for themselves and it's not up to me to tell anybody how to live for the adults but what's interesting to me about this is that it seems to me that every American kid from from this day forward has a lawsuit and I'm no lawyer but let me just Trot this out see see if any of the uh real lawyers agree with this it would be one thing if your doctor gave you a treatment and he honestly or she honestly believed it was good for you that's fine and then if things go wrong well that's just the real world I wish I hadn't but things went wrong but what happens when probably every Doctor Who's in this space in America is now aware that England looked at it and found it too dangerous now now give it to a kid you don't think you have a little extra legal liability now I I thought the standard was I thought the standard was that once it becomes common knowledge that something's too dangerous that would be the point where you're being irresponsible am I wrong or or can a doctor in this country say yeah I'm completely aware that in England they did the analysis and found it too dangerous but it's still legal here so here's your bills I feel like I feel like there's a Tipping Point situation in which it wouldn't take many entities to say this is dangerous we're making it illegal before everybody would have to make it illegal because remember the the law and Medicine in general are very risk averse they don't want to do something where you can obviously get sued you know if it's just begging to get sued they don't want to do it so if if everybody was just guessing about what was the right thing to do then I don't know that you could sue a doctor for giving somebody puberty blockers when they're young if they legitimately didn't know that that was a risky situation but now that they know I don't know I've got a feeling that insurance and the courts will take care of this pretty quickly now that's my prediction that the uh transitioning of the kids probably is going to collapse as a as a thing that Society ever did I think someday it will seem like the it will seem as bad as um German experimentation on prisoners I think it'll seem that bad someday in the future um by today's perspective I do think most of people involved were just trying to help which I hate I hate that most of the people had good intentions I mean it's better than bad intentions but I hate that well there there are a lot of a lot of people who are going to learn that theyve basically been butchers and murderers and they thought they were doing something good so and every day I see another story about the uh number of people taking their own lives in the trans Community especially after transition seems just insanely high but you have to be careful about that data I I would be really careful about any kind of a self har data about the trans Community because I think it's hard to untangle cause and effect in that case all right uh RFK Jr has teased that two choices for his vice presidential running mate might be NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers uh or Minnesota ex- Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura now does that sound like he's serious about being president because remember RFK Jr did say that running for president was the way he could have free speech so there's there's part of me that thinks that RFK Jr is not expecting to win or playing to win but rather he's playing to finally after you know Decades of trying to be heard about the food supply and the pharmaceutical companies that he's just doing it to make his point and I believe that the reason he would identify these two individuals who you don't think would be at the top of the list at the moment you know although obviously Jesse Venturas had a serious government job at one point but I think they're both anti uh I I don't want to say antix I'll say uh they're not proax would that be true which is different from being anti so I think that I think he's just being consistent with his primary concern which is the health of the American public I think I think RFK Jr's consistent focus on the health of Americans honestly is one of the best things I've ever seen in America it's one of the best things I've ever seen in American history you know it's funny we're we're surrounded with with such just horrible horrible actors in politics and sometimes your fellow citizens but I don't see anything wrong with what Kennedy is doing it doesn't look like a bid for power it doesn't look like a bid for money it doesn't look like um it doesn't look like there's any direct payoff for him other than completing his work of making the country safer I have to I got to say that my respect for what he apparently is doing is very high very high I very much appreciate it while United Airlines has had a fifth in incident in what the news calls fifth incident in over a week may I take a moment to say if you're writing a headline and you ever write this headline it's the fifth incident in over a week here's here's a better way it might be the fifth incident in let's say 10 days but you know what is over a week everything else you don't say you don't say the fifth time in over a week because over a week could be 10 years that's over a week yeah you know what uh I've uh eaten a potato uh 700 times in over a week I have I'm not even exaggerating I've eaten a potato 700 times in over a week yeah and I'm not going to stop um anyway United Airlines so they have continue to have these mechanical s the mechanical problems all seem to have the same character that there's some component of the airplane that falls off am I right like tire falls off part falls off a wing door falls off and I would like to suggest that if they have maybe one more incident in over a week that they have to change the names from United Airlines to mostly United but some things fall off it's longer but I think more accurate fly United no not not completely United mostly United but some things fall off you got to expect that all right well uh axios is talking about the huge increase in uh Black and Latino voters who are moving to the Republican side and they show some um apparently it's the it looks to be according to polling the most massive swing for Black and Hispanic voters since uh a long time ago 60s now what is the explanation for that what's the explanation migration economy natural why now why now well um here's what uh they say so axios should not be considered a genuine news source or more of a that they appear to present themselves as more of a you know biased political actor as most of the news does but here's what they say uh the Intrigue this is part of their story The Intrigue the drop off meaning the drop off of support for Democrats by that Community comes even after Trump made several racist and big did comments about immigrants and people of color now do you think if I click on them uh I will find them to be racist and bigoted comments do you think that's news or was that just some person's opinion well you know if you could click on them yourself you'll find that somebody has decided to interpret normal language as big you know like they usually do so that's not really news that's just uh um bias basically and then they say the uh the biggest loss might be at least somebody said is somebody else said actually is uh people under 30 so now Biden is losing young people black people and Hispanics did did axios tell the story right did they frame this story right so they're losing young people blacks and Hispanics what what's missing in the story see anything missing let me tell you the trick that's being played here there is a big trick being played this is misdirection when they tell you that Black and Hispanic and young people are moving toward Republicans the real story is what they're not telling you the real story is the Democrat Party has become the party of women do you know why they don't want to tell you that and by the way is the black men uh at least the black men I know are tending to be a little bit more prot Trump the black women lesso but also a little bit I think they I think that the uh left leaning media can't tell you that men are going to the Dem the Republican side do you know why because that would be too influential it would be too influential if you hear that blacks and Hispanics and young people are moving to the other side you might say to yourself well you know I'm not one of those people but it's an interesting story but if you heard that men were going to one side you'd have some real questions because the men know how to protect the country and you know I I hate to sound too much like Tucker Carlson but uh there's a lot of justification there's I would I would claim same as uh same as Tucker says that the justification for racial disc discrimination is gone basically I mean there there's no reason to do it because the difference between any one individual of the same of the same race is so different you know there's no such thing as an average black guy like that's not a thing every black person is so infinitely different from every other just like every white person is infinitely different from every other but gender is really a big difference right so gender is the one that's really big difference and one of the big differences which I will claim to my death is that men are smarter about uh security and and survival and protection women are better at you know nurturing and a whole bunch of other stuff you know better better verbal skills you know a whole bunch of stuff they're better at doing better at College at the moment Etc so I'm not it's not a competition it's just that we're not all the same and there are some average differences and you're seeing it here and I think that if the Dem Democrats started saying that men are leaving the Democrat Party that the women who are remaining would say wait what so I think a third of the Democrats would say Ah that's good because the men were the problem anyway but I think 2third of the Democrat women would say wait a minute what did you just say you're saying all the the men who are Democrats are leaving I think that would be the end of the Democrat Party so I think the framing that it that it's racial is missing the far bigger framing that abortion in particular is primarily women right the fear of trump as the the big old uh whatever mostly women and the men who don't want to disagree with women basically so as long as we see the differences between the parties as racial uh there there is some big movement but if it ever became more honest and showed that it was basically a Democrats of the party of women and the Republicans are more party of men and women who agree with them basically all right let's look at this voter ID issue you know I've never met a single real person and I will I'm going to say as I said on X there's no real person who thinks that it's okay to not to have voter ID for voting I've never met one have you have you ever met a real person who says yeah that makes sense because I don't think black people can get idas now sometimes you'll meet somebody who says that it's because they heard it on the news but here's how you fix it there's no black people who can't get idas they get IDs because they need it for every other part of civilization and and if there is a black person or a white person or any other kind of person who can't get an ID Are you seriously telling me you you want them to vote if they can't get an ID an ID is pretty basic stuff and you think that that person is going to add to the decision-making quality of the Republic no there is no real person who thinks it's a good idea not to have voter ID when we have ID for every other little trivial thing and everybody thinks that's a good idea so this is purely a press um you know bad people who want these things to happen so there were two lawyers who testified uh today or recently uh against requiring proof of citizenship to vote or ID I guess and uh and they're both a former employees of George soros's open Society do you think that those two people in their private World personally believe that it's a good idea to not have ID for voting no of course not no they're either paid or they're lying but they definitely don't believe that and I want to stop acting like this is some kind of political discussion this is not a difference of political opinion the citizens are all on the same page on this we are just being gaslighted and screwed in some some way by some group or groups of people but to pretend that anybody's on the other side of this it's absurd it's just absurd now when I posted that no real person is actually in favor of this uh Elon Musk weighed in and said 100% and then uh a number of people said this but uh Elon Musk said it as well this morning he said the exact same people who said everyone had to have a vaccine ID also say no ID is needed for voting I mean you don't need a lot of reasons to know that this isn't a real issue this is a an issue specifically to make it easier to cheat it's to make it easier to cheat now if you tell me there's any other reason there isn't there isn't don't tell me there's some other reason nobody thinks that that's just something that people are saying on TV no actual honest living person believes any of this it's just to make it easier to cheat so clearly so here's what uh would be a good strategy for republicans to win everything stop talking about everything except this and every time you have a conversation with the press and every time you have a conversation that any Democrat can hear say let me ask you just one question what do you think is the reason they don't want to have voter ID there's only one reason the other reasons are stupid and if you believe what you were told that black people can't get IDs well you're a racist and whoever told you is too because there's no evidence of that whatsoever that's purely racist so you're not only a racist but you would be favoring the people who clearly are trying to do something illegitimate and you know it and and just go from there say Republicans want people who are citizens to vote that tells you everything you need to know the Republicans want citizens to vote and that we know that they really are here and they're really voting for you know they're eligible to vote there is no second reason for wanting no ID it's only to cheat it's only to cheat there's no other reason and if you say that enough I think people will figure it out pretty quickly because here's the thing people people are fa fairly primed to expect they're getting screwed you know by companies by the government we're all we all expect we're getting screwed and when you say there is literally no other reason for this voter ID thing I think people's were always getting screwed thing just clicks in they go oh yeah that does sound Mighty suspicious now they bring it up it's a real easy sale it's a hard sale to say that the Biden family did something bad with Ukraine let let me explain the total sophistication of the American voter when they're they're faced with the Ukraine situation what what yeah you see there was this whole n work where Hunter set up and his business purs said this and there was a diamond that got lost and you know was it not when he was in office but there was some things in office and then it was a phone call and then the average voter says what you can't you can't make a sale with any of that basically all the complicated stuff are just things that people like you know you and I talk about you the 1% who do this for a hobby or or professionally like we care about that stuff dig in a little bit and find out who's who's who's right and who's not but the average person doesn't know anything about what's going on ask the average person about the the Nuance of whether Tik Tok should be banned just the average person who who knows you know a little bit about the news but not a lot you you will hear the most ridiculous opinions because they don't understand the Nuance but here's something they totally understand there's only one reason that that they're not requiring voter ID it's so that they can rig the election how how many normal citizens can immediately understand that argument all of them immediately 100% right away and how many of them are already primed to think that is the real reason all of them they're all primed right now a few of them are going to say oh I was told by CNN that black people can't get IDs but you could change their mind in about a minute find me one black person who can't get an ID find an interview with One find a survey anything F find me a link show show me a guy who's on on video saying yeah you know I've been black all my life and I'll tell you every time I go to get an ID I can't figure it out or I can't afford it I don't know what to do seems like all these white people got these nice IDs but I can't figure out how to get one no that doesn't exist do you know why because every black person like every other person can get an ID and it was never real so you can mock people for believing something that even their own team has no evidence for that's different usually if you're if you're debating climate change for example you know both sides will show their own preferred data oh my data says yes oh my data says no but not in this case not in this case there's no other argument there's no data there's there's no link there's no story there's no witness there's not even a single person not one anyway everybody can f of that out um end wokeness one of my favorite follows on X uh did an experiment where it asked the Amazon site for a list of blackowned businesses presumably so you could you know give them your support and it gave a it gave you a list of blackowned business is very good if you'd like to support the black owned businesses you've got a really easy way to find them so then n Wok just said huh let's see if Amazon will give me a list of white owned businesses uh no I said that would be too racist and inappropriate and absolutely not you kidding me so that's totally okay now if you're not watching Elon musk's comments he's going at each of these little stories and just labeling them racist and and I think it's very powerful when he does that because he does concentrate attention they are all racist these these are just racist things they're racist because treating the races differently in a public way is as racist as you could get there's no there's no argument about that um now let's see what else happened uh the rabbit hole another good account on X um he was uh Tweeting or posting about uh newspapers mentioning the murderer race so there have been some surveys to find out when not just newspapers but the media um how often do they mention the race of the murderer if it's white versus black versus something else well here's the numbers uh White offenders were mentioned roughly one and a four articles so for example one or four times if it was a white person they'd say a white man you know killed somebody for example but um if it was a black offender only one time in 17 did the article mention the race uh and if it's a Hispanic offender only one in 33 would mention it was Hispanic I'm not sure I understand that difference but and that of course is a super racist as Elon Musk weighed in and said H yes that's super racist because it is all right uh Russia's Putin says uh that he wouldn't use nuclear weapons in Ukraine but he would be ready to use them if Russia's existence is threatened Now isn't that a nice vague statement that makes you feel good so if I understand this the only thing that would prevent Putin from nuking me is his own opinion and nobody else's just his own opinion of whether uh Russia's existence is threatened huh I wonder if anybody in a political role has ever used hyperbole or exaggerated a threat to take control or gain some power over something H well that's scary now I don't believe that uh um Putin would use a nuke because using a nuke would be the riskiest thing that he could do for his own life and for Russia by far the riskiest uh and he's not crazy he doesn't show signs of he doesn't show signs of any Biden dementia that I can see um I don't know about his overall health but his mind seems sharp and no I don't think there's any chance he's going to use nukes it looks like he just has to wait it out and grind Up the Bodies until something happens I saw a David Sachs who often is talking and posting about why we should wind up the war in Ukraine because we can't win and he he posted today that people ask him you know why does he keep going out there and you know talking about this and he said he was uh trying to wear people down with the truth and then and then the war will be over now I love his attitude he's going to wear people down with the truth and then once we understand the real situation we will all lock hands and uh make a good decision well I don't know I don't know if I live in that country do I do I live in a country where a logical rational argument that shows the real facts uh will change people's minds the answer is it depends who's doing it it really depends who's doing it I do think sax has changed people's minds because he's credible and he's good at what he does and you know his arguments really strong so if anybody could do it you know if it's doable there's a very small group of people who could make a difference but he might be one of them he might actually be one of the most persuasive people in the public domain at the moment and so I certainly welcome his uh his viewpoint on this it seems it seems intended for nothing except making the country better like there there's no there's no way you know it's just a financial thing it's not just a political thing it looks like just a a patriot trying to end a war and knowing that the government can't do it and he has to jump in that's what it feels like to me it feels like people who think oh damn it I've got this Spider-Man problem that's what it is it's the Spider-Man problem I think elon's got the Spider-Man problem I think David Sachs has the Spiderman problem and I know I have the Spider-Man problem you know the Spider-Man problem with a great power comes great responsibility so some people are promoting things and advocating things because they want to make some money or make a name for themselves or be right or you know a whole bunch of reasons for why people do things but I can tell you I feel this deeply I feel that having taken care of myself and the people close to me that I have just an embedded built-in almost genetic responsibility to take care of the wider tribe you know the country so I think that's what drives a number of the people that I call the internet dads um you know they're not doing it for money that's for sure because it's not good for their incomes to be divisive even if they're trying to help it ends up being divisive well here's an interesting stat I don't know if it's true but have you heard that 30 to 50% of the population doesn't have an inner M monologue how many of you would say that of yourself you don't have an inner monologue like there's just a voice that's talking all the time I want to see if it looks like 30 to 50% of you have that because I don't believe that I think it's a smaller percentage I think I think it's real but I think it's smaller than that yeah my head is like a it's like the Star Wars bar scene it's like every every damn thing happening in there you know it's what Elan musk says you wouldn't want to live in his head I believe that I think there's a lot going on in there and not everybody could survive that anyway so suppose it's true 30 let's say there's some percentage let's take the low number 30% of the population doesn't have an inner mind Lo that's about the same number just observationally you know just my own opinion it seems like about the same number as people who can't tell a personal story I I've noted this before there's some people who can't tell a personal story you'd say ah tell us about the time you succeeded at something or tell us a story about the you the most embarrassing moment you had or something like that and there are people who go H yeah yeah nothing really I have nothing and I think that's weird and then I've also noted a number of times that you know I've given a lot of um funny speeches in public probably hundreds of them by this time and you notice that no matter what you say or how funny you are 30% of the audience will just look at you and in my experience 30% of the public literally doesn't have a sense of humor like actually literally don't have one and they're faking it they're literally faking it the way they fake it is first of all they avoid entertainment that is for humor so you invite your friend over and say hey I've got this funny movie you want to watch it in my house the person who doesn't have a sense of humor is just going to say they're busy because what they can't say is I don't even know what this humor thing is I would just sit there and stare at it I'm not going to be laughing because I I don't know just doesn't work for me so do you think it's all the same people so I'm just going to throw this hypothesis out there maybe it's not three different groups maybe the group that doesn't have an inner mind log doesn't have a sense of humor and can't tell a story because I feel they're all related I feel like they're all related so uh now some would say that that would be the number of NPCs the people who are like effectively biological AI they're just wandering around they don't have an actual life because they don't have an inner dialogue and they they don't even laugh at things like ai ai wouldn't laugh at anything but it might identify there something thing is fits the form of a joke but it wouldn't laugh so it makes me suspect that we are already at one-third cyborgs uh battl Star Galactica style you know the syons the syons and that that's a battle star Galactic is a famous sci-fi and part of the story was that the PE some number of humans were actually really really well done Androids so good you can't even tell it tell with a medical exam feels like that I'm not saying that's true it just feels like it all right um apparently the Biden budget that he's promoting for the country uh would spend hundreds of millions to train School teachers in Dei isn't that just reparations I I think we should stop saying that reparations is a different conversation from Dei now the first thing you're going say is Scott Dei is not just about the black public you know Dei is about any groups that are not getting a fair Shake in society no that's not true I'm sorry if somebody told you that if you took the black population out of the Dei conversation the whole thing fall apart do you do you think that you could get the women and the gays and the Hispanics that' be powerful enough to have Dei organizations I don't think so I I think that the uh the black population is the you know the heart and soul of the Dei and then the rest are sort of freeloaders and I don't mean that as an insult I mean I should say Free Rider a free rider not a free loader free loader is insulting I didn't mean it insulting I mean that they just get the benefit of being put into the disadvantaged group but if there were no black people ever in this country there would be no Dei do you agree and am I going too far or would you agree that it just wouldn't be happening except that the black public is apparently powerful enough there's enough people enough people support the idea yeah so to me Dei is reparations so I'm not in favor of spending it in either case but if we're going to spend it and it gets approved I'm going to say that is reparations because has the same effect the effect of Dei um and the the theoretical effect is that you just hire U better but equally qualified people from disadvantaged groups that that's the theory the reality is that never happens because it can't if it could happen it would happen but it can't it's like logically impossible just because the numbers involved no not because of Any genetic differences no not because of Any racial differences no not because of any any gender differences but just there's not enough uh people who already gone through the pipeline of training to have enough of them for all the companies that are scrambling to improve their diversity so given that it does seem to me that the net effect is that white people will be um kept out of jobs black people will be promoted even when they have lesser qualifications less reparations and I would say that we've had 30 years of it so far at least 40 I think so probably 40 Years of Dei like activ ity some you know in the old days that was called reverse discrimination I think it's already paid I think the bill is paid I decare the bill paid and the reparations question put to bed whether whether you like it or not so I'm not saying I'm for it or against it you know necessarily I'm just saying it's already paid we don't have to talk about it anymore all right let's talk about Tik Tok Joe Rogan looked at the terms of service this the scariest thing you've ever seen so apparent apparently you when you sign up for Tik Tok you agree that they can basically have all your information but including your keystrokes including information on devices that you don't use for Tik Tok just hold that in your head for a second if they can track your keystrokes they know exact everything you're doing all your passwords let me say it again if they're tracking your keystrokes they have your password into every one of your accounts and you're signing that away You're basically signing to give your passwords away because it would be legal it wouldn't be legal to get into your account but it's legal they have them if you sign that so let's see what else are they doing um the the way they get into your other devices is I think if you use one of those logons where you say um I'll use my Google log log on to get into it I think that's what it's saying then they could go to any device that Ed to Google log on your completely other devices and find out all your activity and your other devices now it's it's written so broadly that it couldn't possibly be something you want associate with So Yesterday um I started the process to get a dedicated machine just for Tik Tok so so I don't plan to look at content because that would be crazy because I don't want to get hypnotized but um I am going to post on it because it's not going away and I'm going to post on it with a dedicated separate machine that's not in any way connected to anything else and I'm definitely not going to use a password that's used on any other device I wouldn't even do that um so us Intel the Director of National Intelligence dni uh says that China uses Tik Tock to impact us elections he he says quote we cannot rule out that the CCP would use it uh it is extraordinary the degree to which China are developing Frameworks for collecting foreign data and their capacity to turn around and use it to Target audiences um I guess Tik Tock accounts run by a Chinese government propaganda arm somehow we can tell who they are uh targeted candidates from both political parties during the midterms in 2022 so that's our own intelligence people say that China did use Bots I guess on Tik Tok now what they don't say is that they know that Tik Tok has you know pushed the heat button but if they had Bots and um and we know they were Bots it means that Tik toon knew they were Bots and didn't get rid of them or not or didn't get rid of them fast enough all right so um let's talk about this bill this uh Tik Tock Bill to ban it so the first thing you need to know is that Tik Tok is not going to be banned and part of the reason is the bill was written it looks like it was written intentionally not to be passed because it would give um it would give the ability for the government Well here here's here's the setup tuer Carlson gives us whole setup he posted today in a classified briefing this afternoon must have been yesterday uh attended by officials from the binded justice department uh AOC claimed that Elon committed quote election interference in 2022 by quote changing the algorithms on X to alter the results of the midterms now all all he really did was get rid of the bias so she's saying that getting rid of the bias altered the midterms and that election interference now suppose you took that to be true suppose you said well that's a reasonable opinion AOC totally reasonable that if somebody changed something on their platform and it affected the race well that must be election interference did you know that the tiktock ban if passed would allow the government to force the sale of any social media platform that interferes in elections so all all they would have to do to take Tik Tock away from Twitter from musk is to make the claim the claim that he's interfering with elections I don't even think they have to prove it in a court of law it looks like it's just an opinion who who in the world's going to sign that the thing do you think you can find enough people to sign this they would basically say that the government can take your social media platform away if the government says you're interfering with the election now don't you think there was a way to make this only about Tik Tock or only about companies owned by adversaries I'm pretty sure they could have walled that off don't you think you don't think they could have walled that off and said let's let's make this only apply to something controlled by a foreign adversary pretty easy to do I do not believe that our constitution bars us from blocking aders Aries from doing business in the United States I don't I don't think any freedoms apply to the Chinese government so how did they get 50 bipartisan uh people to sign it do you know how you get 50 people to to um support a bill and this is bipartisan both sides 100% of the people in the committee do you know how you get that to happen you write some legislation that nobody's ever going to approve pretty easy to say yes to something that nobody's going to sign isn't it this is so not signable there's no chance it's going to happen and there are 35 billion other reasons it's not going to happen which is a specific gigantic donor to the Republican Party who who's got $ 35 billion some say of value in Tik Tock ownership and that's enough money to make the government do anything he wants you know that right that's enough money to make the government do anything you want so he just want he just has to want it and of course he does nobody wants to lose $35 billion so yeah there's no chance that the government is stronger than $35 billion all focused in one place well or let's say a billion dollars because because he could burn a billion dollars just to get what he wants the government cannot survive or or cannot stand up against a billion dollars focused on any one topic the government has no power over that he has all the power so if he wants he doesn't want it banned well that's kind of the end of the story he has the power to make it not happen so you should expect a number of people who are beholden to such um a a person who contributes that much to the Republicans uh you should expect them to have some weird explanations of why they are opposed to the ban speaking of weird EXP ations for why you'd be opposed to the band here's Rand Paul he says reactionaries who want to ban Tik Tok oh interesting if you want to ban Tik Tok you're a reactionary huh let let us examine the history of Rand Paul and say does Rand Paul start an argument with a emotional uh insult label is that is that his normal mode does that look like what you're used to because that's not the Rand Paul I'm used to the one I'm used to usually leads with a logical rational argument and then challenges the government to tell him what's wrong with it and then they can't and that that's what makes him Rand Paul what makes him Rand Paul is not doing this he just called people in his own party and the other party as well reactionaries you Rand Paul you very much yeah you don't need to insult insult me am I reactionary because I had that opinion I've changed my opinion since since Tik Tok can't be banned I don't think there's any room for an opinion it doesn't matter if I want it to doesn't matter if I think it's a good idea it's like Israel you can have an opinion but why that who and R is just going to do what they whatever they can do that they need to do anyway so uh starting with reactionaries is a big red flag that you're not going to take this argument seriously and I would expect that what you say next is not going to be as logical as what we normally expect from Rand Paul let's say he says the reactionaries who want to ban Tik Tock claim the data can't be secured because the quote algorithm is China is in China this is called a um what do you call this a straw man a straw man is where you characterize the other people argument in a stupid way have you ever heard anybody say that I haven't because it would be stupid nobody's going to say uh that Tik Tock uh is can't be secured because the algorithm is in China who who would even say that that doesn't even make sense from any like technological standpoint no that's a straw man so he started with an insult and then a straw man is that Rand Paul the you know now does Rand Paul give you a straw man for a argument since when I've never seen him do it I always see him say things that make complete sense always but that's a bad way to start an opinion let's see what else he says so he says it's not true that the uh the claim that the data can't be secured because the algorithm in China here here's the truth he says the truth is the algorithm runs in the US in Oracle Cloud where they're revie with the code not China so in other words Oracle is the only one that sees the algorithm that runs in the United States do you care what surver the algorithm runs on how how was that ever part of the argument I don't care where it runs I care what it does do you think that uh do you think that there's an entity in Oracle that understands the algorithm so are you telling me that if somebody at uh bite dance or Tik Tock pushes the heat button literally it's called The Heat button to boost the signal of something do you think that somebody over in Oracle is going to be there they'll be doing their work it's like ding ding ding ding hold on somebody over in China pushed the heat button and that signal came over to our our server is over an Oracle and the and and the alert is telling me that something happened no because the code would be working the Way It Was Written it'd be working fine it wouldn't be anything that they would say do you think that the people in Oracle can see persuasion as it's embedded in in the let's say the outcome of the product no because you can't find it persuasion if it's done right you can't find it so this is an absurd argument um and then he says maybe should examine the facts and then he says uh they want to ban Tik Tock because it's owned by China and Rand Paul says Tik Tok is not owned by China here's what Rand Paul says he says 60% of the company is owned by us and international investors 20% is owned by the company Founders 20% is owned by company employees including 7,000 Americans and the CEO of Tik Tock is from Singapore not China so then ran Paul says so ask yourself why they keep repeating this lie to scare you so the LIE is that technically China doesn't own it that's what Rand Paul is arguing that technically they don't own it the only thing that they have is the ability to tell the people who do own it exactly what to do or their business will go away do you think Rand Paul is unaware that the government of China can tell Tik Tok what to do and Tik tok's damn well going to do it because the penalty would be far too big do you think he doesn't know that of course he knows that everybody knows it so he's going to argue like a lawyer instead of a opthalmologist he's gonna he's going to turn into a lawyer and argue the technical details of who the ownership is when the Chinese government can tell it what it wants it to do and has to do it do you really think that this argument is what he actually believes I can't read minds but let's just say it's a little bit inconsistent with the hyper rational person we've known for years so whatever is going on here has nothing to do with these arguments because these are stupid and he knows it it's the he knows it part that bugs me right if I thought he didn't know what he was doing it wouldn't bother me at all but he knows he knows so there's also reports that Rumble was talking about either buying Tik Tok maybe with other people I don't know how they afford it um or or offering the new Rumble Network they got a cloud Network that will compete with the other big clouds and uh so that they'd be willing toh step up and and be part of that I don't think that's going to happen and uh I don't think that the ban is real would you like to hear a good conspiracy theory all right this is not based on any knowledge it's just if you have a Suspicious Mind it looks like this here are things we know uh there was a planned public offering of Tik Tock that the Chinese government said no to so Tik Tok wanted to do an IPO and China said no well how's that possible how's that possible when China doesn't even own them how's that possible I'm all confused Rand Paul Rand Paul can you can you explain to me how China told them they can't have an IPO when they don't even own them don't they know that 60% is owned by other countries are they unaware that the president is from Singapore God the things that we're being asked to believe it's just it's just it's you can't even hold it in your mind it's so crazy so we know that Tik Tok tried to have a liquidity event meaning that would be the beginning of a process in which the biggest investors could get their money out if they wanted to after it went public but now that's not going to happen suppose and I don't know this to be true but suppose it looks like there's no time in the future you'll be able to get your money out what's the point of it investing if you can never get your money out how does that work like getting your money out is really important to the whole investment process right if you never can get your money it's not really an investment so we've got an an American investor who's got some say $35 billion worth of um ownership of the Tik Tock Company B Dance Now is it possible that a again this is just fun conspiracy stuff I have no evidence for this whatsoever I just live in the real world and I've seen lots of clever things happened that were not obvious on the surface if I were a billionaire and I could not get my money out of Tik Tock because the Chinese government said no you're not going to do a IPO and I don't know one will ever let you what I would do is I would get my friends in Congress both the Democrats and the Republicans i' would make them sit down and say make me a fake bill that looks like it could get ped but make sure it doesn't give me a fake bill that the media will say is like a real ban but I don't want it banned the only thing I want is for the Chinese government to say oh crap we better let them sell the American business because otherwise Tik tok's in trouble so we can get some money out of it by letting them sell but if the American Market goes away that that's really going to be a problem could it be that an investor or investors are using the ban only as leverage to get China to agree to let bite dance divest the American Market could it be that the biggest investor I think his name is yes y SS could it be that the real play is for him to own his own American social media company that is the piece of uh bite Dan's Market that had been theirs take it with them in return for um let's say China keeping his $35 billion so could he for let's say $35 billion own the entire uh part of bite dance that ran in America would that make him an Elon Musk kind of a billionaire so he would not only have other business but like Jeff Bezos and like other rich people Carlos Sims um rert Murdoch it's always good to own a big Media company if you can so if you start with the assumption that if you're smart enough to own $ 35 billion dollar worth of bite dance you're also smart enough to figure out all the different ways you can capitalize on that and if the possibility of monetizing it was completely impossible because he would never be able to get in a liquidity event well he might have found a work around so the perfect situation would be that we pretend that uh there's going to be a ban every and you get uh 50 people to act like it's a sure thing and then uh it gets carved off and then there's a billionaire who leans Republican who leans Republican because he's he's known to be funding um Republicans in a big way you would have in this country instead of a left-leaning social media company you would have a not necessarily right leaning but certainly closer to the middle um and it would completely neuter the political impact of Tik Tock and give one person one of the most valuable Pro properties in the world now could he do that with the help of let's say the rumble Network well if you've got Oracle that can already handle some hosting stuff you've got the rumble Network that would give you the capacity all you need then is approval all you need is approval because I think you can handle the money doesn't look like money is going to be a problem all you need is the approval so I'm not going to say that that's likely or that anybody had that plan but uh every every single bit of evidence suggests it would you agree would you agree that all all evidence suggests that the the ban is not real and it must be part of a you know a bigger plan that's what it looks like anyway um so um looks like Haiti is going to have some Mass migration coming our way and here's my question um you know that we've heard reports that there are cannibals in Haiti which by the way I'm not sure is real and if it is real I'm not sure it's more than you know one or two people so I don't think Haiti is a big old cannibal country but I'm going to use this story just as a as a u mental experiment suppose you knew that 3% of the migrants were going to be cannibals you don't know what 3% but you're pretty sure that you know there's enough cannibals over there that 3% might be would you say that mass migration would be a good idea if uh you didn't know which ones but 3% of them probably cannibals and if 3% is okay and you say yourself you say to yourself well honestly 3% is a low number you know 3% of any population is going to be bad people in one way or another so why would you discriminate against the Haitians who really need a hand they're in a bad way uh when when their ratio of cannibals is no worse than anybody's ratio of murders and whatever and I would say okay that's reasonable you're trying not to be racist and uh I like your argument it's good of you to not be racist but suppose I up that percentage now I tell you it's 10% cannibals it's not 10% cannibals we're just doing a mental experiment what if it's 10% cannibals now do you say well you know what 10% of people who are in America are not so good either so it'd be kind of racist to say this one group or worse because their 10% kills people and we got a bunch of people who do bad things to rapists and Killers so you know then people start disagreeing at that but what if it's 20% what if 20% of them were known cannibals yeah we keep talking about yes or no these all these questions should be percentage it shouldn't be yes no keep the southern border open it's not a yes no question how how about we say if if we can't certify that the number of people coming in are as safe as the people already here you don't do it I don't know if we could do that is the crime rate of the people coming in better or worse than the ones who are already here if we can't certify that it keeps us at least as safe seems like that'd be a good reason not to do it all right the her testimony was fun and funny and I watched it way too much yesterday um the Republicans and the Democrats saw two different movies on one screen the Republicans saw this uh that Biden was proven guilty and for many decades having all kinds of locations with classified documents he clearly knew it was wrong and he even said it on an audio recording so it's a slam dug case he's proven guilty and the only reason he wasn't prosecuted is because the prosecutor special prosecutor special counsel whatever he is uh her determined that he was uh that they that he couldn't necessarily convince a jury that Biden had intent because Biden's too scile now I'm using the word scile her didn't use that but there that's the Republican version that the crime is there and the only reason he's not being prosecuted is that his brain doesn't work and I believe every Republican heard that would you agree do you think every Republican has that interpretation I think so but what did the Democrats hear they heard that uh Biden was exonerated by the report so so they're on television saying saying he's exonerated so what does some like CNN do when they knew when they know that Biden is just toast but they can't agree with the Republicans they know they can't agree with the Republicans what they did was they would bring on people who were willing to lie and just didn't challenge it I was I was watching poor Anderson Cooper he brings on some democrat who just said the most outrageously obviously untrue stuff about it and and and he didn't challenge it he just let it stand so the funny part is that the hosts are completely aware of the whole story right it's their job and they know that Biden broke the law uh at least in terms of the uh having the classified information he broke it way more than Trump did Trump's got the extra obstructing justice problem that uh Biden doesn't have but the the actual testimony and the evidence that her did and even the Democrats are saying her looked pretty credible so by the way let me give a compliment to the special counsel um you know I spent so much time just insulting people who doing bad jobs that I feel like I should stop and say he did a great job am I am I wrong that her really made I think he made the country proud um I don't think that was biased I I I think that both sides have people who are saying yeah this was a serious good job good job you don't get to say that too often good job all right so really appreciate it as a citizen of the country I personally appreciate the good work that her did now um he does her did say very clearly we did not exonerate anybody we don't use that word in the report uh but the difference of was he exonerated or was he proven guilty seems to hinge on the reason he was not charged and the Democrats are trying to tell you gaslighting you basically that the reason he wasn't charged is they didn't find any evidence of crimes and the real reason he wasn't charged is that not only is he guilty of the crimes but he's also guilty of being so he's basically guilty of two things so her found him guilty of having a defective brain and doing a crime and the and the Democrats are telling Their audience that that's exonerated no that's two problems one is you did the crime and you knew it and you knew it everybody agrees he knew it that's not the issue the problem is that the jury would see him as so feeble that they wouldn't get a conviction and there's no point in wasting everybody's time so that's the the insufficient evidence that her refers to is there's insufficient evidence that Biden knew what he was doing not insufficient evidence that it happened and that it was illegal only insufficient evidence that a jury would believe he understood what he was doing that to me that's guilty twice am i counting wrong to me that's guilty twice once guilty of having a bad brain just like we suspected and once guilty of doing a whole bunch of crimes involving classified stuff now there was one little uh point that was fascinating in how two sides see it so apparently there exists an audio recording of Biden talking to his biographer and telling the biographer that he went and got some classified documents and he was showing them to him but apparently if the only evidence you have is the audio you can't really know if the document he showed him was classified it might have been sitting next to some classified documents but it could have been in the Box they had some classified and some not so when he said it was classified did he know that they were classified or did he just take him out of a box of classified documents but the one he had maybe not so classified now that's the sort of Distinction that her is making when he anticipates what a defense would be if it went to court and the defense would be well technically you just heard an audio recording of people talking well I guess that's true did anybody see this document well no does it say classified on it we don't know he was just talking about it so I agree with her that even though it seems to us that you know it's just a confession on audio how how clear could it be I could see how a lawyer could lawyer that away so I actually agree with him that that was a weakness in their ability to get any kind of prosecution uh we do know Biden lied when he said I did not share a classified information I did not with my ghost riter well I guess you could still You could argue he didn't lie if you say it's not confirmed that it was really classified it's only confirmed that he said it it's only confirmed that he said it and since he says things that are not true all the time it's a weird defense he says things that are not true all the time all right um so uh did you notice that the fact Checkers all disappeared during the her testimony and the coverage can you imagine not having your fact Checker checking the facts of all the Democrats who just lied on live TV yeah so anyway um so uh representative of Ken Buck of Colorado he's going to resign early he's not even going to wait for the election and that will make the razor thin majority of the Republicans so it's very risky for him to leave early and he said uh we've taken impeachment we've made it a social media issue as opposed to a constitutional one this place just keeps going down I don't really don't really want to spend my time here so what would you call somebody who becomes part of the system but then but then he rejects it what would be a good name for somebody like that so he's he's uh his name is his actual name is Ken buck and he's somebody who can Buck the system to leave early I wonder if he'll fly almost United when he goes home yeah he can he can Buck the system and there he is he's bucking it sure enough well fonny Willis we're going to get a the judge is going to decide whether funny should be removed from the case because of her undisclosed romance were not disclosed accurately romance with the guy who she hired and gave too much money to be the prosecutor now the interesting thing is if she's taken off then it would I guess leave it would leave her jurisdiction and they'd have to find another place to do the trial which is not so easy because most other places might be more Rural and have far less resources to do a major thing like this but the other possibility that somehow I just hadn't thought about but it's obvious once once you read it is that another prosecutor could decide not to take the case so it the the way that this could end is that uh fonny is taking off the cas it's you know it's it's presented to another prosecutor and the other prosecutor says you know I don't think there's enough here what happens if it goes to a non Soros funded prosecutor I think it has to go to a Soros funded prosecutor or Trump walks what do you think so that's an actual possibility the just another prosecutor will say ah n could happen all right ladies and gentlemen that concludes the best live stream of the day I hope you found some value in that I'm going to say uh bye now and um I wonder if I can click off individual let's see if I can do this I want to see if I can close individual platforms whoa nope that didn't I clicked on something it took me to the feed of the other thing so here's our current total we got uh 1.6 th000 on Rumble H holy cow I have more people on Rumble watching this than on You.

Tube oh no uh more than on locals on You.

Tube it's 4,000 all right well there you go all right ladies and gentlemen uh I'll do the man cave tonights for the people on the locals make sure you sign up to see Dilbert comic either on the xplatform subscription or that and lots more and political content on locals Scott adams.

locals.com you see 10,000 watching on X oh wow uh X doesn't give me a number of users oh but the the numbers on X are I don't know if they're live or just somebody who watched it once that might be somebody who just spent a minute looking at it can't tell all right that's all for today go have a great day I'll talk to you tomorrow same place same time

come on in and chat while we do the

pre-show the real show starts at top of

the hour as always we've got eight

minutes first I will print my

notes so there is much a

miss

good

morning hello

Stefan well all the locals people are in

here

fast are the Tates in jail again I think

it's getting close not yet but it's

getting

close

oh my

goodness have you noticed that uh people

with one one set of views seem to be

going to jail a

lot I'll bet you have

noticed hey

Owen

streaming on

Rumble you did not miss the zp the Sip

doesn't begin until the top of the hour

we're at the

pre-show where sometimes there is a

premature

sip premature

culation you'll be in uh Kawai in 12

days all

right good place to

be yeah it's a chilling chilling effect

on speech you're right let's check our

stocks rumble's up 5% we're at over

eight

now but most importantly what about my

Camping World stock

Camping

World my my theory that there are going

to be more

tents let me tell you how that that's

working

out I will check my

uh my my even though they don't make a

lot of tents they're more about

campers I think uh campers are going to

be the the

future all right let's see how we're

doing

good camping camping world is

up I mean up

lately not

bad um has anybody seen the 34 Minute

glitch since I got my Internet

fixed

have you seen that

yet did I kill Scott Adams official on

Tik Tok yet well I didn't

know anybody contact you about your Tik

Tock Theory from mancave

no sitting in the Box checking your

stocks

oh Massie is debating the the

ban yeah there won't be a ban I think

the it disappeared when when I was on 5G

oh that answers the

question so I uh found out what happened

to my

network so apparently I complained

enough on the

xplatform uh and on YouTube and whatnot

that uh they upgraded my entire

neighborhood so apparently they were

doing upgrades anyway and it looks like

it was a trivial matter maybe they added

a piece of equipment I don't know but um

all they did was open a box and make a

few changes and the entire neighborhood

just went up massively so I sign on a

message to my neighbors because we're

all connected on a WhatsApp group and I

said uh if he knows your internet speeds

are better

you're

welcome and people are sending me

screenshots of their internet speeds

they're all

happy way too many people making tons of

money on Tik Tok well I wonder how

many I wonder how

many ticktock ban a trojan horse against

X

probably the arguments against the band

seem pretty strong well

yeah I I'll save that

we'll we won't leave that in the green

room all right Jen's g g got the okay

for more

bandwidth

maybe

maybe um what will I do with the hey

Button after I own Tik Tok well I don't

think Rumble offered to buy Tik Tok I

don't think that's what happen I think

Rumble was um basically selling access

to their Rumble Network so I think they

wanted to host it not be an owner if I

understand that

correctly even the rich have to fight to

get decent service

uh Force social media companies to be

sold that is correct well forces them

under some

conditions well thank you

Paul uh last six minutes of man cave

showed you can think circles around the

rest of

us I don't know what that was about that

was about my Tik Tock

Theory

oh Pavo laosi mentioned maybe Rumble

should buy it well how could Rumble buy

it rumble's worth two billion and they

have 200 million in

cash Tik tok's

worth what a

trillion I don't know how they could buy

it maybe they could be part of a larger

purchasing group or something well looks

like we're very close to the beginning

of the

show

don't let me uh miss the top of the

hour Bonino said they did offer to buy

it I don't know how they could do

that isn't Trump saying he'll have more

flexibility after the

election uh well I don't think he said

that Finance

it I wonder if he could

I don't know if you could you really

ever pay enough

to give Tik Tock what they think it's

worth why don't big names form their own

platform why don't you ask truth social

that question they tried

it it's

time is

time it's time for the pre-show to end

and the real show

to

[Music]

begin good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams

because that's what it is if you'd like

to take your experience and it's an

experience let me tell you up to a level

that nobody can even imagine with their

tiny human brains all you need is a

cuper of marar a glass of tanker Chels a

Stein a canteen Jugger flask

a vessel of any kind filling with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure of

the dopamine hit of the day the thing

that makes everything better it's called

the simultaneous zp it happens

now I feel connected to all of you with

a

invisible

connection I thought I was going to come

up with a better word than connection

and then once I got there really wasn't

a better one so we'll just go with

that well let's just jump into the

stories uh we'll do the big ones and the

small ones and uh I'll do at least one

thing that could get me

cancelled maybe

more more cancel than I already am uh

well the tape brothers are looking at

some say life in prison in the UK and

you're probably saying to yourself my

God what are the charges is that are so

so bad that they could go to prison for

life and the answer is um I don't know I

looked I clicked a bunch of things I

read a bunch of things but I have no

idea is it some kind

of uh sexual charge or something does

anybody know I've not seen any news of

what the charges are now I think Andrew

Tate said he he's worried it could turn

into an a son

situation that situation being somebody

who's really a political prisoner but

the system is treating them like they're

a normal prisoner or a normal criminal

and could get them killed or kept in

jail forever somebody says it's a rape

charge both of them both brothers

coincidentally well how many of you

think that's

real does anybody think that the that

the reason for the

charges is that there's a real real

crime uh I I doubt I doubt it I mean we

live in a world where you just can't

take anything on face value can you now

I want to be clear I'm no supporter of

the Tate Brothers we we've uh or at

least Andrew Tate I've had my

differences with

him so I don't support him personally

but uh when I see a situation like this

it does not

scream criminal it screams political and

I don't think I can ignore the fact that

people who have opinions a lot like is

all seem to be

targeted can can you think of anybody

who has an opinion anywhere in the

general area of the Tay brothers who has

not been targeted by the

government or it looks like the

government or intelligence Services

something like that I can't think of on

can you it seems like every single

person who has a certain set of opinions

is targeted by the legal system for all

the

crimes now I don't know if the Tate

brothers did any crimes like I said it's

not my job to defend their character or

their history or anything else I'm just

saying we live in a world where my first

assumption is it's probably fake isn't

that terrible my first assumption which

I still keep that's my current

assumption is it's probably fake I hate

that I even live in a world in which I

have to say that but it's probably

fake all right uh can you believe that

yet again there was another story about

the gender pay Gap and quoting the 82

cents on a dollar thing uh would you

like me to tell you why that story still

persists the 82 cents on a

dollar now everybody who is a little bit

educated uh is aware that that's just

comparing apples to oranges and if you

compare people with the same experience

you know that disappears but why why do

people keep saying it like why does it

just keep coming up over and over for

decades when it's been disproven by

every study and every single person who

knows anything about it it it's

literally comparing an apple to an

orange so oh more more manner in let's

say stem jobs more women might be in

let's say jobs that are more nurturing

or taking care of people so you know

sociologists and stuff and they make

different

money

but I thought every education every

educated person knows that but it turns

out there's a lot who don't and do you

know why this story

persists even though so obviously take

it out of context not true it persists

because nobody can tell batshit crazy

women the truth it's just too

dangerous the the reason that this even

exists is because there's so many people

who don't know how to do any kind of

analytical job can't do the research

can't do the math this is a stupidity

issue not a difference of

opinion there's no difference of opinion

everybody smart male and female knows

this is fake news

everyone and the reason that there

people were not let's say experts and

don't follow the news as much the reason

they believe it that this persists is

because men are too afraid to tell women

the truth it's like this is not you're

comparing a rock to a you know a

bird yeah the the only reason that

number exists is because you don't know

how to analyze things which is basically

like a math problem all right so that's

the truth truth is it's totally fake and

here's one of my standards for uh Det

protecting

BS it's not 100% doesn't work every

single time but it's really really good

it goes like this if the science or the

data tells you one thing and your entire

lived experience tells you the other

it's probably not true it's probably not

true and I always use the lung cancer

example of smoking science says that

smoking gives you lung cancer and sure

enough I know people who smoke

cigarettes and died to lung cancer so

that's not proof you know my personal

experience but at least it's consistent

what I see matches what the scientists

say pretty

good um but in my entire life I've never

heard of one example not even one in

which a woman was paid less than a man

when they had the same

experience they had the same you know uh

let's say

qualifications did the same amount of

work and negotiated just as

aggressively I've never seen it have any

of you ever seen it have you ever seen a

verified situation where where it really

was the same same years of experience

same qualifications just 20% different

pay I've never seen it all right here's

a little mental experiment for

you this will this will blow your mind

take a hundred men chosen at random but

they all have the same

occupation 100 men just randomly chosen

there are no women in the group just 100

men and let's say they're all uh I don't

know they're all data analysts or

something all have the same

job do they all have the same pay do all

the data analysts have the same

pay 100 chosen randomly no of course not

their pay is going to be all over the

place

so should you say that the people in the

bottom half of the pay because it would

be lots of different pay levels would I

say that they've been discriminated

against for being men no you would just

say that any hundred people even in the

same job would have you know different

incomes do you think somebody studied

and found the the ones that got a little

extra and they're trying to correct it

no we don't do that do you think anybody

looked at the men who were paid less

than other men for the same job and said

we got to correct this no nobody gives a

because it's about men but suppose

you took a 100 men and 100 women

randomly and some of the um and they

were on the same job now if you randomly

studied 100 men and 100 women would you

find a whole bunch of situations in

which there were in fact women who

seemed to be suspiciously paid less than

the men

yes you would because there would be

people paid all kinds of things for all

kinds of reasons and all kinds of

different places but you could also find

in that same group men who are paid less

than other men and also men who are paid

less than other

women so the entire the entire topic is

people who don't know how to do analysis

so to pretend there's some kind of

difference of opinion or or that it

matches your experience is just absurd

now let me ask you in the comments again

just so you can see each other has

anybody ever you even seen one example

I'm going to say in the

last 10 years who limited to the last 10

years in the last 10 years has anybody

ever seen one example where you were

really sure that people had the same

qualifications but different

pay and if you had are you aware that

you could find that same difference if

you were only looking at

men you would find men with different

pay for the same jobs how do you explain

that

no it's all just bad analysis there's

nothing else to

it all right uh Trump said something

that got him in a little bit of

political hot order he said that in an

interview asking about entitlements

because as you know our budget's out of

control and he said uh there's a there's

a lot that can be done in entitlements

in terms of cutting so then Biden got on

that and said uh Trump's going to cut

your

entitlements now what Trump said was

there's a lot that can be done in terms

of cutting but I feel like there's a

whole level of

creativity that could be applied that

hasn't been for example I'll just take

myself if you gave me the option of

taking half of what I would probably get

in Social Security but take it now I'd

probably do it and then I'd say I'd save

the country a bunch of money on Social

Security and then they could use that

for other people because my situation

isn't like other people and maybe maybe

I say to myself you know what I don't

know if social secury you'll go away

someday I'll just take half now and you

know because it's not going to be the

deciding point of whether I have a good

life so I'll save you some money the

country by taking

half would you say yes to that who loses

who's a loser in that deal if I

willingly say you know I'll be fine with

half and you get to keep some of your

money your tax money that would have

gone to me are you

happy so I wonder if there are other

things like that for

example could you say to some young

people you know young people we've been

doing this ordinary social security

thing but if you'd like it's purely

optional you can have your um Social

Security put into let's say the um the

stock market into an ETF nice divers

ified American ETF so that you'd be well

Diversified and you would do as well as

the country and if you opted into it and

you don't have to you might make way

more money because you got stock but we

would only give you maybe less we would

give you less but you could have it in

stock would anybody go for that probably

would it work out for the people who

said yes I'll take stock yeah if they're

25 wouldn't they say it probably because

stock is tends to be a better idea than

most things in the long long long run so

I like uh I like Trump being honest

enough to say there's a lot that can be

done meaning that you can't just let it

run forever something has to be done we

all know that but I'd like to see him

get get uh I'd like to see him get

creative uh I think it's time for that

like really really think about all the

ways the free market

and maybe some kind of a gambling

Network and some kind of an alternative

situation I bet there is a lot that can

be

done anyway um what I'd like to see is

some new legislation to give all of our

security money Social Security money to

undocumented

migrants so it' be a bill that says

we'll just stop paying Social Security

to all citizens and will just give all

that money to undocumented uh immigrants

now the reason I want that is not

because I want it to pass that'd be

crazy that'd be crazy people I don't

want to give all my Social Security

money away to undocumented migrants

there'll just be more of them but what I

do want to see is that legislation

floated to see who votes for it I just

want to see who votes for it just to

find out like how many people are not

even

trying because it doesn't it seem like

we've got to a situation where it's not

so much difference of

opinion does it feel to you like there's

a philosophical difference of opinion

between the Democrats and the

Republicans not always sometimes yes not

always what it looks to me is as some

people are not even trying or they're

trying to destroy the country or they're

bad crazy so let's just let's just

create um much the way you've heard the

stories about the people who ran pranks

on the scientific

reviews so I think it's been done more

than once where people would write

totally fake scientific papers just

ridiculous stuff to see if they can get

it peer-reviewed and accepted and

published and sure enough they can get

it peer-reviewed and accepted and

published and then it tells the public

oh this is what's going

on very useful because once you learn

that half of the scientific studies are

just fake you know gives you some

perspective so I'd like to do the same

thing come up with some fake legislation

to give all of our Social Security money

every single penny of it to undocumented

migrants and then just watch who says

yes you don't think uh you don't think

half of the squad is going to say

yes because it's whatever is worse for

the country they seem fairly consistent

about doing why I don't

know well over in England the National

Health Service s has decided to uh ban

puberty puberty blockers for kids so

kids who want to transition they're not

going to be able to get their puberty

blockers and the reason is that they

just think it's too dangerous healthwise

isn't working out risk reward wise and

um I'm kind of bored with the whole

trans thing every time I have to talk

about it I figure like I feel like I'm

being

manipulated because there's nothing I

care less about than the trans issues I

love the trans Community yeah big fan of

the lgbtq community love them all would

love to them to live the best life that

they can put together for themselves and

it's not up to me to tell anybody how to

live for the adults but what's

interesting to me about this is that it

seems to me that every American kid from

from this day forward has a

lawsuit and I'm no lawyer but let me

just Trot this out see see if any of the

uh real lawyers agree with this it would

be one thing if your doctor gave you a

treatment and he honestly or she

honestly believed it was good for you

that's fine and then if things go wrong

well that's just the real world I wish I

hadn't but things went wrong but what

happens

when probably every Doctor Who's in this

space in America is now aware that

England looked at it and found it too

dangerous now now give it to a kid you

don't think you have a little extra

legal liability now I I thought the

standard was I thought the standard was

that once it becomes common knowledge

that something's too dangerous that

would be the point where you're being

irresponsible am I wrong or or can a

doctor in this country say yeah I'm

completely aware that in England they

did the analysis and found it too

dangerous but it's still legal here so

here's your bills I feel like I feel

like there's a Tipping Point situation

in which it wouldn't take many entities

to say this is dangerous we're making it

illegal before everybody would have to

make it illegal because remember the the

law and Medicine in general are very

risk averse they don't want to do

something where you can obviously get

sued you know if it's just begging to

get sued they don't want to do it so if

if everybody was just guessing about

what was the right thing to do then I

don't know that you could sue a doctor

for giving somebody puberty blockers

when they're young if they legitimately

didn't know that that was a risky

situation but now that they know I don't

know I've got a feeling that insurance

and the courts will take care of this

pretty quickly now that's my prediction

that the uh transitioning of the kids

probably is going to collapse as a as a

thing that Society ever did I think

someday it will seem like the it will

seem as bad

as um German experimentation on

prisoners I think it'll seem that bad

someday in the

future um by today's perspective I do

think most of people involved were just

trying to help which I hate I hate that

most of the people had good

intentions I mean it's better than bad

intentions but I hate

that well there there are a lot of a lot

of people who are going to learn that

theyve basically been butchers and

murderers and they thought they were

doing something good so and every day I

see another story about the uh number of

people taking their own lives in the

trans Community especially after

transition seems just insanely high but

you have to be careful about that data I

I would be really careful about any kind

of a self har data about the trans

Community because I think it's hard to

untangle cause and effect in that case

all right uh RFK Jr has teased that two

choices for his vice presidential

running mate might be NFL quarterback

Aaron

Rodgers uh or Minnesota ex- Minnesota

Governor Jesse

Ventura now does that sound like he's

serious about being president because

remember RFK Jr did

say that running for president was the

way he could have free speech

so there's there's part of me that

thinks that RFK Jr is not expecting to

win or playing to win but rather he's

playing to finally after you know

Decades of trying to be heard about the

food supply and the pharmaceutical

companies that he's just doing it to

make his point and I believe that the

reason he would identify these two

individuals who you don't think would be

at the top of the list at the moment you

know although obviously Jesse Venturas

had a serious government job at one

point but I think they're both

anti uh I I don't want to say antix I'll

say uh they're not proax would that be

true which is different from being

anti so I think that I think he's just

being consistent with his primary

concern which is the health of the

American public I think I think RFK Jr's

consistent focus on the

health of

Americans honestly is one of the best

things I've ever seen in America it's

one of the best things I've ever

seen in American history you know it's

funny we're we're surrounded with with

such just horrible horrible actors in

politics and sometimes your fellow

citizens but I don't see anything wrong

with what Kennedy is doing it doesn't

look like a bid for power it doesn't

look like a bid for money it doesn't

look like um it doesn't look like

there's any direct payoff for him other

than completing his work of making the

country safer I have to I got to say

that my respect for what he apparently

is doing is very high very high I very

much appreciate

it while United Airlines has had a fifth

in incident in what the news calls fifth

incident in over a

week may I take a moment to say if

you're writing a headline and you ever

write this headline it's the fifth

incident in over a

week here's here's a better way it might

be the fifth incident in let's say 10

days but you know what is over a week

everything

else you don't say you don't say the

fifth time in over a week because over a

week could be 10 years that's over a

week

yeah you know what

uh I've uh eaten a

potato uh 700 times in over a

week I have I'm not even exaggerating

I've eaten a potato 700 times in over a

week yeah and I'm not going to

stop um anyway United Airlines so they

have continue to have these mechanical s

the mechanical problems all seem to have

the same character that there's some

component of the airplane that falls

off am I right like tire falls off part

falls off a wing door falls off and I

would like to suggest that if they have

maybe one more incident in over a

week that they have to change the names

from United Airlines to mostly United

but some things fall off

it's longer but I think more accurate

fly United no not not completely United

mostly United but some things fall off

you got to expect

that all right well uh axios is talking

about the huge increase in uh Black and

Latino voters who are moving to the

Republican side and they show some um

apparently it's the it looks to be

according to polling the most massive

swing for Black and Hispanic voters

since uh a long time ago

60s now what is the explanation for

that what's the explanation migration

economy

natural why

now why

now

well um here's what uh they

say so axios should not be considered a

genuine news source or more of a that

they appear to present themselves as

more of a you know biased political

actor as most of the news

does but here's what they say uh the

Intrigue this is part of their story The

Intrigue the drop off meaning the drop

off of support for Democrats by that

Community comes even after Trump made

several racist and big did comments

about immigrants and people of

color now do you think if I click on

them uh I will find them to be racist

and bigoted comments do you think that's

news or was that just some person's

opinion well you know if you could click

on them yourself you'll find that

somebody has decided to interpret normal

language as big you know like they

usually do so that's not really news

that's just uh um bias

basically and then they say the uh the

biggest loss might be at least somebody

said is somebody else said actually is

uh people under 30 so now Biden is

losing young people black people and

Hispanics did did axios tell the story

right did they frame this story

right so they're losing young people

blacks and Hispanics

what what's missing in the story see

anything

missing let me tell you the trick that's

being played here there is a big trick

being played this is

misdirection when they tell you that

Black and Hispanic and young people are

moving toward

Republicans the real story is what

they're not telling you the real story

is the Democrat Party has become the

party of women do you know why they

don't want to tell you

that and by the way is the black men uh

at least the black men I know are

tending to be a little bit more prot

Trump the black women lesso but also a

little bit I think they I think that the

uh left leaning media can't tell you

that men are going to the Dem the

Republican side do you know why because

that would be too

influential it would be too influential

if you hear that blacks and Hispanics

and young people are moving to the other

side you might say to yourself well you

know I'm not one of those people but

it's an interesting story but if you

heard that men were going to one side

you'd have some real questions because

the men know how to protect the

country and you know I I hate to sound

too much like Tucker Carlson but uh

there's a lot of justification there's I

would I would claim same as uh same as

Tucker says that the justification for

racial disc

discrimination is gone basically I mean

there there's no reason to do it because

the difference between any one

individual of the same of the same race

is so different you know there's no such

thing as an average black guy like

that's not a thing every black person is

so infinitely different from every other

just like every white person is

infinitely different from every other

but gender is really a big difference

right so gender is the one that's really

big difference and one of the big

differences which I will claim to my

death is that men are smarter about uh

security and and survival and protection

women are better at you know nurturing

and a whole bunch of other stuff you

know better better verbal skills you

know a whole bunch of stuff they're

better at doing better at College at the

moment Etc so I'm not it's not a

competition it's just that we're not all

the same and there are some average

differences and you're seeing it here

and I think that if the Dem Democrats

started saying that men are leaving the

Democrat

Party that the women who are remaining

would say wait

what so I think a third of the Democrats

would say Ah that's good because the men

were the problem anyway but I think

2third of the Democrat women would say

wait a minute what did you just say

you're saying all the the men who are

Democrats are

leaving I think that would be the end of

the Democrat Party so I think the

framing that it that it's racial is

missing the far bigger framing that

abortion in particular is primarily

women right the fear of trump as the the

big old uh whatever mostly women and the

men who don't want to disagree with

women basically so as long as we see the

differences between the parties as

racial uh there there is some big

movement but if it ever

became more honest and showed that it

was basically a Democrats of the party

of women and the Republicans are more

party of men and women who agree with

them

basically all right let's look at this

voter ID issue you know I've never met a

single real person and I will I'm going

to say as I said on X there's no real

person who thinks that it's okay to not

to have voter ID for voting I've never

met one have you

have you ever met a real person who says

yeah that makes sense because I don't

think black people can get idas now

sometimes you'll meet somebody who says

that it's because they heard it on the

news but here's how you fix it there's

no black people who can't get idas they

get IDs because they need it for every

other part of

civilization and and if there is a black

person or a white person or any other

kind of person who can't get an ID Are

you seriously telling me you you want

them to

vote if they can't get an ID an ID is

pretty basic stuff and you think that

that person is going to add to the

decision-making quality of the Republic

no there is no real person who thinks

it's a good idea not to have voter ID

when we have ID for every other little

trivial thing and everybody thinks

that's a good

idea so this is purely a press um you

know bad people who want these things to

happen so there were two lawyers who

testified uh today or recently uh

against requiring proof of citizenship

to vote or ID I guess and uh and they're

both a former employees of George

soros's open Society do you think that

those two people in their private World

personally believe that it's a good idea

to not have ID for voting no of course

not no they're either paid or they're

lying but they definitely don't believe

that and I want to stop acting like this

is some kind of political discussion

this is not a difference of political

opinion the citizens are all on the same

page on this we are just being

gaslighted and screwed in some some way

by some group or groups of people but to

pretend that anybody's on the other side

of this it's absurd it's just

absurd now when I posted that no real

person is actually in favor of this uh

Elon Musk weighed in and said

100% and then uh a number of people said

this but uh Elon Musk said it as well

this

morning he said the exact same people

who said everyone had to have a vaccine

ID also say no ID is needed for voting I

mean you don't need a lot of reasons to

know that this isn't a real issue this

is a an issue specifically to make it

easier to cheat

it's to make it easier to

cheat now if you tell me there's any

other

reason there isn't there isn't don't

tell me there's some other reason nobody

thinks that that's just something that

people are saying on TV no actual honest

living person believes any of this it's

just to make it easier to

cheat so clearly so here's what uh would

be a good strategy for republicans to

win everything stop talking about

everything except this and every time

you have a conversation with the press

and every time you have a conversation

that any Democrat can hear say let me

ask you just one question what do you

think is the reason they don't want to

have voter ID there's only one reason

the other reasons are stupid and if you

believe what you were told that black

people can't get IDs well you're a

racist and whoever told you is

too because there's no evidence of that

whatsoever that's purely racist so

you're not only a racist but you would

be favoring the people who clearly are

trying to do something illegitimate and

you know it and and just go from there

say Republicans want people who are

citizens to

vote that tells you everything you need

to know the Republicans want citizens to

vote and that we know that they really

are here and they're really voting for

you know they're eligible to

vote there is no second reason

for wanting no ID it's only to cheat

it's only to cheat there's no other

reason and if you say that enough I

think people will figure it out pretty

quickly because here's the thing

people people are fa fairly primed to

expect they're getting

screwed you know by companies by the

government we're all we all expect we're

getting screwed and when you say there

is literally no other reason for this

voter ID thing I think people's were

always getting screwed thing just clicks

in they go oh yeah that does sound

Mighty suspicious now they bring it up

it's a real easy sale it's a hard sale

to say that the Biden family did

something bad with

Ukraine let let me explain the total

sophistication of the American voter

when they're they're faced with the

Ukraine

situation what what yeah you see there

was this whole n work where Hunter set

up and his business purs said this and

there was a diamond that got lost and

you know was it not when he was in

office but there was some things in

office and then it was a phone call and

then the average voter

says what you can't you can't make a

sale with any of that basically all the

complicated stuff are just things that

people like you know you and I talk

about you the 1% who do this for a hobby

or or professionally like we care about

that stuff dig in a little bit and find

out who's who's who's right and who's

not but the average person doesn't know

anything about what's going on ask the

average person about the the Nuance of

whether Tik Tok should be

banned just the average person who who

knows you know a little bit about the

news but not a lot you you will hear the

most ridiculous opinions because they

don't understand the

Nuance but here's something they totally

understand there's only one reason that

that they're not requiring voter ID it's

so that they can rig the

election how how many normal citizens

can immediately understand that argument

all of them immediately 100% right away

and how many of them are already

primed to think that is the real reason

all of them they're all primed right now

a few of them are going to say oh I was

told by CNN that black people can't get

IDs but you could change their mind in

about a minute

find me one black person who can't get

an ID find an interview with One find a

survey anything F find me a link show

show me a guy who's on on video saying

yeah you know I've been black all my

life and I'll tell you every time I go

to get an ID I can't figure it out or I

can't afford it I don't know what to do

seems like all these white people got

these nice IDs but I can't figure out

how to get one no that doesn't

exist do you know why

because every black person like every

other person can get an ID and it was

never real so you can mock people for

believing something that even their own

team has no evidence

for that's different usually if you're

if you're debating climate change for

example you know both sides will show

their own preferred data oh my data says

yes oh my data says no but not in this

case not in this case there's no other

argument there's no data there's there's

no link there's no story there's no

witness there's not even a single person

not

one anyway everybody can f of that out

um end wokeness one of my favorite

follows on X uh did an experiment where

it asked the Amazon site for a list of

blackowned businesses presumably so you

could you know give them your support

and it gave a it gave you a list of

blackowned business is very

good if you'd like to support the black

owned businesses you've got a really

easy way to find them so then n Wok just

said huh let's see if Amazon will give

me a list of white owned businesses uh

no I said that would be too racist and

inappropriate and absolutely not you

kidding

me

so that's totally

okay now if you're not watching Elon

musk's comments he's going at each of

these little stories and just labeling

them

racist and and I think it's very

powerful when he does that because he

does concentrate attention they are all

racist these these are just racist

things they're racist because treating

the races

differently in a public way is as racist

as you could get there's no there's no

argument about

that um now let's see what else happened

uh the rabbit hole another good account

on X um he was uh Tweeting or posting

about uh newspapers mentioning the

murderer race so there have been some

surveys to find out when not just

newspapers but the media um how often do

they mention the race of the

murderer if it's white versus black

versus something else well here's the

numbers uh White offenders were

mentioned roughly one and a four

articles so for example one or four

times if it was a white person they'd

say a white man you know killed somebody

for

example but um if it was a black

offender only one time in

17 did the article mention the

race uh and if it's a Hispanic offender

only one in

33 would mention it was

Hispanic I'm not sure I understand that

difference

but and that of course is a super racist

as Elon Musk weighed in and said H yes

that's super racist because it

is all right uh Russia's Putin says uh

that he wouldn't use nuclear weapons in

Ukraine but he would be ready to use

them if Russia's existence is threatened

Now isn't that a nice vague statement

that makes you feel good so if I

understand this the only thing that

would prevent Putin from nuking me is

his own opinion and nobody else's just

his own opinion of whether uh Russia's

existence is threatened huh I wonder if

anybody in a political role has ever

used hyperbole or exaggerated a threat

to take control or gain some power over

something H well that's scary now I

don't believe that uh um Putin would use

a nuke because using a nuke would be the

riskiest thing that he could do for his

own life and for Russia

by far the riskiest uh and he's not

crazy he doesn't show signs of he

doesn't show signs of any Biden dementia

that I can see um I don't know about his

overall health but his mind seems sharp

and no I don't think there's any chance

he's going to use nukes it looks like he

just has to wait it out and grind Up the

Bodies until something happens I saw a

David Sachs who often is talking and

posting about why we should wind up the

war in Ukraine because we can't win

and he he posted today that people ask

him you know why does he keep going out

there and you know talking about this

and he said he was uh trying to wear

people down with the truth and then and

then the war will be

over now I love his attitude he's going

to wear people down with the truth and

then once we understand the real

situation we will all lock hands and uh

make a good decision

well I don't know I don't know if I live

in that

country do I do I live in a country

where a logical rational argument that

shows the real facts uh will change

people's

minds the answer is it depends who's

doing it it really depends who's doing

it I do think sax has changed people's

minds because he's credible and he's

good at what he does and you know his

arguments really strong so if anybody

could do it you know if it's doable

there's a very small group of people who

could make a difference but he might be

one of them he might actually be one of

the most persuasive people in the public

domain at the moment and so I certainly

welcome his uh his viewpoint on this it

seems it seems intended for nothing

except making the country better like

there there's no there's no way you know

it's just a financial thing it's not

just a political thing it looks like

just a a patriot trying to end a war and

knowing that the government can't do it

and he has to jump in that's what it

feels like to me it feels like people

who think oh damn it I've got this

Spider-Man problem that's what it is

it's the Spider-Man problem I think

elon's got the Spider-Man problem I

think David Sachs has the Spiderman

problem and I know I have the Spider-Man

problem you know the Spider-Man problem

with a great power comes great

responsibility so some people are

promoting things and advocating things

because they want to make some money or

make a name for themselves or be right

or you know a whole bunch of reasons for

why people do things but I can tell you

I feel this

deeply I feel that having taken care of

myself and the people close to me that I

have just an embedded built-in almost

genetic responsibility to take care of

the wider tribe you know the

country so I think that's what drives a

number of the people that I call the

internet dads um you know they're not

doing it for money that's for sure

because it's not good for their incomes

to be divisive even if they're trying to

help it ends up being divisive well

here's an interesting stat I don't know

if it's true but have you heard that 30

to 50% of the population doesn't have an

inner M monologue how many of you would

say that of yourself you don't have an

inner monologue like there's just a

voice that's talking all the

time I want to see if it looks like 30

to 50% of you have

that because I don't believe that I

think it's a smaller percentage I think

I think it's

real but I think it's smaller than

that yeah my head is like a it's like

the Star Wars bar scene it's like

every every damn thing happening in

there you know it's what Elan musk says

you wouldn't want to live in his head I

believe that I think there's a lot going

on in there and not everybody could

survive that

anyway so suppose it's true 30 let's say

there's some percentage let's take the

low number 30% of the population doesn't

have an inner mind Lo that's about the

same number just observationally you

know just my own opinion it seems like

about the same number as people who

can't tell a personal story I I've noted

this before there's some people who

can't tell a personal story you'd say ah

tell us about the time you succeeded at

something or tell us a story about the

you the most embarrassing moment you had

or something like that and there are

people who go H yeah yeah nothing really

I have nothing and I think that's weird

and then I've also noted a number of

times that you know I've given a lot of

um funny speeches in public probably

hundreds of them by this time and you

notice that no matter what you say or

how funny you are 30% of the audience

will just look at you and in my

experience 30% of the public literally

doesn't have a sense of humor like

actually literally don't have one and

they're faking it they're literally

faking it the way they fake it is first

of all they avoid entertainment that is

for humor so you invite your friend over

and say hey I've got this funny movie

you want to watch it in my house the

person who doesn't have a sense of humor

is just going to say they're

busy because what they can't say is I

don't even know what this humor thing is

I would just sit there and stare at it

I'm not going to be laughing because I I

don't know just doesn't work for me so

do you think it's all the same

people so I'm just going to throw this

hypothesis out there maybe it's not

three different groups maybe the group

that doesn't have an inner mind log

doesn't have a sense of humor and can't

tell a story because I feel they're all

related I feel like they're all

related

so uh now some would say that that would

be the number of NPCs the people who are

like effectively biological AI they're

just wandering around they don't have an

actual life because they don't have an

inner dialogue and they they don't even

laugh at things like ai ai wouldn't

laugh at anything but it might identify

there something thing is fits the form

of a joke but it wouldn't

laugh so it makes me suspect that we are

already at one-third

cyborgs uh battl Star Galactica style

you know the syons the syons and that

that's a battle star Galactic is a

famous sci-fi and part of the story was

that the PE some number of humans were

actually really really well done

Androids

so good you can't even tell it tell with

a medical exam feels like that I'm not

saying that's true it just feels like it

all right um apparently the Biden budget

that he's promoting for the country uh

would spend hundreds of millions to

train School teachers in

Dei isn't that just

reparations I I think we should stop

saying that reparations is a different

conversation from

Dei now the first thing you're going say

is Scott Dei is not just about the black

public you know Dei is about any groups

that are not getting a fair Shake in

society no that's not true I'm sorry if

somebody told you that if you took the

black population out of the Dei

conversation the whole thing fall

apart do you do you think that you could

get the women and the gays and the

Hispanics that' be powerful enough to

have Dei organizations I don't think so

I I think that the

uh the black population is the you know

the heart and soul of the Dei and then

the rest are sort of

freeloaders and I don't mean that as an

insult I mean I should say Free Rider a

free rider not a free loader free loader

is insulting I didn't mean it insulting

I mean that they just get the benefit of

being put into the disadvantaged group

but if there were no black people ever

in this country there would be no

Dei do you

agree and am I going too far or would

you agree that it just wouldn't be

happening except that the black public

is apparently powerful enough there's

enough people enough people support the

idea yeah so to me Dei is

reparations so I'm not in favor of

spending it in either case but if we're

going to spend it and it gets approved

I'm going to say that is reparations

because has the same

effect the effect of Dei um and the the

theoretical effect is that you just hire

U better but equally qualified people

from disadvantaged groups that that's

the theory the reality is that never

happens because it can't if it could

happen it would happen but it can't it's

like logically impossible just because

the numbers involved no not because of

Any genetic differences no not because

of Any racial differences no not because

of any any gender differences but just

there's not enough uh people who already

gone through the pipeline of training to

have enough of them for all the

companies that are scrambling to improve

their

diversity so given that it does seem to

me that the net effect is that white

people will be um kept out of jobs black

people will be promoted even when they

have lesser qualifications less

reparations and I would say that we've

had 30 years of it so far at least 40 I

think so probably 40 Years of Dei like

activ ity some you know in the old days

that was called reverse discrimination I

think it's already paid I think the bill

is

paid I decare the bill paid and the

reparations question put to

bed whether whether you like it or not

so I'm not saying I'm for it or against

it you know necessarily I'm just saying

it's already paid we don't have to talk

about it anymore all right let's talk

about Tik Tok Joe Rogan looked at the

terms of service this the scariest thing

you've ever seen so apparent apparently

you when you sign up for Tik Tok you

agree that they can basically have all

your information but

including your

keystrokes

including information on

devices that you don't use for Tik

Tok just hold that in your head for a

second if they can track your keystrokes

they know exact everything you're doing

all your passwords let me say it again

if they're tracking your

keystrokes they have your password into

every one of your accounts and you're

signing that away You're basically

signing to give your passwords

away because it would be legal it

wouldn't be legal to get into your

account but it's legal they have

them if you sign that so let's see what

else are they doing

um the the way they get into your other

devices is I think if you use one of

those logons where you

say um I'll use my Google log log on to

get into it I think that's what it's

saying then they could go to any device

that Ed to Google log on your completely

other devices and find out all your

activity and your other devices now it's

it's written so broadly that it couldn't

possibly be something you want associate

with So Yesterday um I started the

process to get a dedicated machine just

for Tik Tok so so I don't plan to look

at content because that would be crazy

because I don't want to get hypnotized

but um I am going to post on it because

it's not going

away and I'm going to post on it with a

dedicated separate machine that's not in

any way connected to anything else and

I'm definitely not going to use a

password that's used on any other device

I wouldn't even do

that um so us Intel the Director of

National Intelligence dni uh says that

China uses Tik Tock to impact us

elections he he says quote we cannot

rule out that the CCP would use it uh it

is extraordinary the degree to which

China are developing Frameworks for

collecting foreign data and their

capacity to turn around and use it to

Target

audiences um I guess Tik Tock accounts

run by a Chinese government propaganda

arm somehow we can tell who they are uh

targeted candidates from both political

parties during the midterms in 2022 so

that's our own intelligence people say

that China did use Bots I guess on Tik

Tok now what they don't say is that they

know that Tik Tok has you know pushed

the heat button but if they had Bots and

um and we know they were Bots it means

that Tik toon knew they were Bots and

didn't get rid of

them or not or didn't get rid of them

fast enough

all right

so um let's talk about this bill this uh

Tik Tock Bill to ban it so the first

thing you need to know is that Tik Tok

is not going to be banned and part of

the reason is the bill was

written it looks like it was written

intentionally not to be passed because

it would give um it would give the

ability for the government Well here

here's here's the setup tuer Carlson

gives us whole setup he posted today in

a classified briefing this afternoon

must have been yesterday uh attended by

officials from the binded justice

department uh AOC claimed that Elon

committed quote election interference in

2022 by quote changing the algorithms on

X to alter the results of the midterms

now all all he really did was get rid of

the

bias so she's saying that getting rid of

the bias altered the midterms and that

election interference now suppose you

took that to be true suppose you said

well that's a reasonable opinion AOC

totally reasonable that if somebody

changed something on their platform and

it affected the race well that must be

election

interference did you know that the

tiktock ban if passed would allow the

government to force the sale of any

social media platform that interferes in

elections so all all they would have to

do to take Tik Tock away from Twitter

from musk is to make the

claim the

claim that he's interfering with

elections I don't even think they have

to prove it in a court of law it looks

like it's just an

opinion who who in the world's going to

sign that the thing do you think

you can find enough people to sign this

they would basically say that the

government can take your social media

platform away if the government

says you're interfering with the

election now don't you think there was a

way to make this only about Tik Tock or

only about companies owned by

adversaries I'm pretty sure they could

have walled that off don't you think you

don't think they could have walled that

off and said let's let's make this only

apply to something controlled by a

foreign adversary pretty easy to do I do

not believe that our constitution bars

us from blocking aders Aries from doing

business in the United States I don't I

don't think any freedoms apply to the

Chinese

government so how did they get 50

bipartisan uh people to sign

it do you know how you get 50 people to

to um support a bill and this is

bipartisan both sides 100% of the people

in the committee do you know how you get

that to

happen you write some legislation that

nobody's ever going to

approve pretty easy to say yes to

something that nobody's going to sign

isn't it this is so not signable there's

no chance it's going to happen and there

are 35 billion other reasons it's not

going to happen which is a specific

gigantic donor to the Republican Party

who who's got $ 35 billion some say of

value in Tik Tock ownership and that's

enough money to make the government do

anything he wants you know that right

that's enough money to make the

government do anything you want

so he just want he just has to want it

and of course he does nobody wants to

lose $35 billion so yeah there's no

chance that the government is stronger

than $35 billion all focused in one

place well or let's say a billion

dollars because because he could burn a

billion dollars just to get what he

wants the government cannot

survive or or cannot stand up against a

billion dollars focused on any one

topic the government has no power over

that he has all the power so if he wants

he doesn't want it banned well that's

kind of the end of the story he has the

power to make it not happen so you

should expect a number of people who are

beholden to such um a a person who

contributes that much to the Republicans

uh you should expect them to have some

weird explanations of why they are

opposed to the

ban speaking of weird EXP ations for why

you'd be opposed to the band here's Rand

Paul he says reactionaries who want to

ban Tik Tok oh interesting if you want

to ban Tik Tok you're a reactionary huh

let let us examine the history of Rand

Paul and say does Rand Paul start an

argument with a

emotional uh insult

label is that is that his normal mode

does that look like what you're used to

because that's not the Rand Paul I'm

used to the one I'm used to usually

leads with a logical rational argument

and then challenges the government to

tell him what's wrong with it and then

they can't and that that's what makes

him Rand Paul what makes him Rand Paul

is not doing this he just called people

in his own party and the other party as

well

reactionaries you Rand Paul

you very

much yeah you don't need to insult

insult

me am I reactionary because I had that

opinion I've changed my opinion since

since Tik Tok can't be banned I don't

think there's any room for an

opinion it doesn't matter if I want it

to doesn't matter if I think it's a good

idea it's like Israel you can have an

opinion but

why that who and R is just going to do

what they whatever they can

do that they need to do anyway so uh

starting with reactionaries is a big red

flag that you're not going to take this

argument seriously and I would expect

that what you say next is not going to

be as logical as what we normally expect

from Rand Paul let's say he says the

reactionaries who want to ban Tik Tock

claim the data can't be secured because

the quote algorithm is China is in

China this is called a um what do you

call this a straw

man a straw man is where you

characterize the other people argument

in a stupid way have you ever heard

anybody say that I haven't because it

would be stupid nobody's going to say uh

that Tik Tock uh is can't be secured

because the algorithm is in

China who who would even say that that

doesn't even make sense from any like

technological standpoint no that's a

straw man so he started with an insult

and then a straw man is that Rand Paul

the you know now does Rand Paul give you

a straw man for a argument since

when I've never seen him do it I always

see him say things that make complete

sense

always but that's a bad way to start an

opinion let's see what else he says so

he says it's not true that the uh the

claim that the data can't be secured

because the algorithm in China here

here's the truth he says the truth is

the algorithm runs in the US in Oracle

Cloud where they're revie with the code

not China so in other words Oracle is

the only one that sees the algorithm

that runs in the United

States do you care what surver the

algorithm runs

on how how was that ever part of the

argument I don't care where it runs I

care what it does do you think that uh

do you think that there's an entity in

Oracle that understands the

algorithm so are you telling me that if

somebody at uh bite dance or Tik Tock

pushes the heat button literally it's

called The Heat button to boost the

signal of something do you think that

somebody over in Oracle is going to be

there they'll be doing their work it's

like ding ding ding ding hold on

somebody over in China pushed the heat

button and that signal came over to our

our server is over an Oracle and the and

and the alert is telling me that

something happened

no because the code would be working the

Way It Was Written it'd be working fine

it wouldn't be anything that they would

say do you think that the people in

Oracle can see

persuasion as it's embedded in in the

let's say the outcome of the product no

because you can't find it persuasion if

it's done right you can't find

it so this is an absurd

argument um and then he says maybe

should examine the

facts and then he says uh they want to

ban Tik Tock because it's owned by China

and Rand Paul says Tik Tok is not owned

by

China here's what Rand Paul says he says

60% of the company is owned by us and

international

investors 20% is owned by the company

Founders 20% is owned by company

employees including 7,000 Americans and

the CEO of Tik Tock is from Singapore

not

China so then ran Paul says so ask

yourself why they keep repeating this

lie to scare you so the LIE is that

technically China doesn't own

it that's what Rand Paul is arguing that

technically they don't own it the only

thing that they have is the ability to

tell the people who do own it exactly

what to do or their business will go

away do you think Rand Paul is

unaware that the government of China can

tell Tik Tok what to do and Tik tok's

damn well going to do it because the

penalty would be far too big do you

think he doesn't know that of course he

knows that everybody knows it so he's

going to argue like a lawyer instead of

a opthalmologist he's gonna he's going

to turn into a lawyer and argue the

technical details of who the ownership

is when the Chinese government can tell

it what it wants it to do and has to do

it do you really think that this

argument is what he actually

believes I can't read minds but let's

just say it's a little bit inconsistent

with the hyper rational person we've

known for years so whatever is going on

here has nothing to do with these

arguments because these are

stupid and he knows it it's the he knows

it part that bugs me right if I thought

he didn't know what he was doing it

wouldn't bother me at all but he knows

he

knows

so there's also reports that Rumble was

talking about either buying Tik Tok

maybe with other people I don't know how

they afford it um or or offering the new

Rumble Network they got a cloud Network

that will compete with the other big

clouds and uh so that they'd be willing

toh step up and and be part of that I

don't think that's going to

happen and uh I don't think that the ban

is

real would you like to hear a good

conspiracy

theory all right this is not based on

any

knowledge it's just if you have a

Suspicious Mind it looks like this here

are things we know uh there was a

planned public offering of Tik Tock that

the Chinese government said no to so Tik

Tok wanted to do an IPO and China said

no

well how's that possible how's that

possible when China doesn't even own

them how's that

possible I'm all confused Rand Paul Rand

Paul can you can you explain to me how

China told them they can't have an IPO

when they don't even own them don't they

know that 60% is owned by other

countries are they unaware that the

president is from

Singapore God the things that we're

being asked to believe it's just it's

just it's

you can't even hold it in your mind it's

so

crazy so we know that Tik Tok tried to

have a liquidity event meaning that

would be the beginning of a process in

which the biggest investors could get

their money out if they wanted to after

it went public but now that's not going

to

happen suppose and I don't know this to

be true but suppose it looks like

there's no time in the future you'll be

able to get your money out what's the

point of it investing if you can never

get your money

out how does that work like getting your

money out is really important to the

whole investment process right if you

never can get your money it's not really

an investment so we've got an an

American investor who's got some say $35

billion worth of um ownership of the Tik

Tock Company B Dance

Now is it

possible that a

again this is just fun conspiracy stuff

I have no evidence for this whatsoever I

just live in the real world and I've

seen lots of clever things happened that

were not obvious on the surface if I

were a billionaire and I could not get

my money out of Tik Tock because the

Chinese government said no you're not

going to do a IPO and I don't know one

will ever let you what I would do is I

would get my friends in Congress both

the Democrats and the Republicans i'

would make them sit down and say make me

a fake bill that looks like it could get

ped but make sure it

doesn't give me a fake bill that the

media will say is like a real ban but I

don't want it banned the only thing I

want is for the Chinese government to

say oh crap we better let them sell the

American business because otherwise Tik

tok's in trouble so we can get some

money out of it by letting them sell but

if the American Market goes away that

that's really going to be a problem

could it be that an investor or

investors are using the ban only as

leverage to get China to agree to let

bite dance divest the American Market

could it be that the biggest investor I

think his name is yes y SS could it be

that the real play is for him to own his

own American social media company that

is the piece of uh bite Dan's Market

that had been theirs take it with them

in return for um let's say China keeping

his $35

billion so could he for let's say $35

billion own the

entire uh part of bite dance that ran in

America would that make him an Elon Musk

kind of a billionaire so he would not

only have other business but like Jeff

Bezos and like other rich people Carlos

Sims um rert Murdoch it's always good to

own a big Media company if you

can so if you start with the assumption

that if you're smart enough to own $ 35

billion dollar worth of bite dance

you're also smart enough to figure out

all the different ways you can

capitalize on that and if the

possibility of monetizing it was

completely impossible because he would

never be able to get in a liquidity

event well he might have found a work

around so the perfect situation would be

that we pretend that uh there's going to

be a ban every and you get uh 50 people

to act like it's a sure thing and then

uh it gets carved off and then there's a

billionaire who leans

Republican who leans Republican because

he's he's known to be funding um

Republicans in a big way

you would have in this country instead

of a left-leaning social media company

you would have a not necessarily right

leaning but certainly closer to the

middle um and it would completely neuter

the political impact of Tik Tock and

give one person one of the most valuable

Pro properties in the

world now could he do that with the help

of let's say the rumble Network well if

you've got Oracle that can already

handle some hosting stuff you've got the

rumble Network that would give you the

capacity all you need then is

approval all you need is approval

because I think you can handle the money

doesn't look like money is going to be a

problem all you need is the

approval so I'm not going to say that

that's likely or that anybody had that

plan but uh every every single bit of

evidence suggests it would you agree

would you agree that all all evidence

suggests that the the ban is not real

and it must be part of a you know a

bigger plan that's what it looks

like anyway

um so um looks like Haiti is going to

have some Mass migration coming our way

and here's my question um you know that

we've heard reports that there are

cannibals in Haiti which by the way I'm

not sure is real and if it is real I'm

not sure it's more than you know one or

two people so I don't think Haiti is a

big old cannibal country but I'm going

to use this story just as a as a u

mental

experiment suppose you knew that 3% of

the migrants were going to be

cannibals you don't know what

3% but you're pretty sure that you know

there's enough cannibals over there that

3% might be would you say that mass

migration would be a good idea if uh you

didn't know which ones but 3% of them

probably

cannibals and if 3% is okay and you say

yourself you say to yourself well

honestly 3% is a low number you know 3%

of any population is going to be bad

people in one way or another so why

would you discriminate against the

Haitians who really need a hand they're

in a bad way uh when when their ratio of

cannibals is no worse than anybody's

ratio of murders and

whatever and I would say okay that's

reasonable you're trying not to be

racist and uh I like your argument it's

good of you to not be racist but suppose

I up that percentage now I tell you it's

10% cannibals it's not 10% cannibals

we're just doing a mental experiment

what if it's 10% cannibals

now do you say well you know what 10% of

people who are in America are not so

good either so it'd be kind of racist to

say this one group or worse because

their 10% kills people and we got a

bunch of people who do bad things to

rapists and

Killers so you know then people start

disagreeing at that but what if it's

20% what if 20% of them were known

cannibals

yeah we keep talking about yes or no

these all these questions should be

percentage it shouldn't be yes no keep

the southern border open it's not a yes

no

question how how about we say if if we

can't certify that the number of people

coming in are as safe as the people

already here you don't do it I don't

know if we could do that is the crime

rate of the people coming in better or

worse than the ones who are already

here if we can't certify that it keeps

us at least as safe seems like that'd be

a good reason not to do it all right the

her testimony was fun and funny and I

watched it way too much yesterday um the

Republicans and the Democrats saw two

different movies on one screen the

Republicans saw this uh that Biden was

proven guilty and for many decades

having all kinds of locations with

classified documents he clearly knew it

was wrong and he even said it on an

audio recording so it's a slam dug case

he's proven guilty and the only reason

he wasn't prosecuted is because the

prosecutor special prosecutor special

counsel whatever he is uh her determined

that he was

uh that they that he couldn't

necessarily convince a

jury that Biden had intent because

Biden's too scile now I'm using the word

scile her didn't use that but there

that's the Republican version that the

crime is there and the only reason he's

not being prosecuted is that his brain

doesn't

work and I believe every Republican

heard that would you agree do you think

every Republican has that interpretation

I think so but what did the Democrats

hear they heard that uh Biden was

exonerated by the

report so so they're on television

saying saying he's exonerated so what

does some like CNN do when they knew

when they know that Biden is just

toast but they can't agree with the

Republicans they know they can't agree

with the

Republicans what they did was they would

bring on people who were willing to lie

and just didn't challenge it I was I was

watching poor Anderson Cooper he brings

on some democrat who just said the most

outrageously obviously untrue stuff

about it and and and he didn't challenge

it he just let it stand so the funny

part is that the hosts are completely

aware of the whole story right it's

their job and they know that Biden broke

the law uh at least in terms of the uh

having the classified information he

broke it way more than Trump did Trump's

got the extra obstructing justice

problem that uh Biden doesn't

have

but the the actual testimony and the

evidence that her did and even the

Democrats are saying her looked pretty

credible so by the way let me give a

compliment to the special

counsel um you know I spent so much time

just insulting people who doing bad

jobs that I feel like I should stop and

say he did a great job am I am I

wrong that her really made I think he

made the country proud um I don't think

that was biased I I I think that both

sides have people who are saying yeah

this was a serious good job good job you

don't get to say that too often good job

all right so really appreciate it as a

citizen of the country I personally

appreciate the good work that her

did now um he does her did say very

clearly we did not exonerate anybody we

don't use that word in the report uh

but the difference of was he exonerated

or was he proven guilty seems to hinge

on the reason he was not charged and the

Democrats are trying to tell you

gaslighting you basically that the

reason he wasn't charged is they didn't

find any evidence of crimes and the real

reason he wasn't charged is that not

only is he guilty of the crimes but he's

also guilty of being

so he's basically guilty of two

things so her found him guilty of having

a defective brain and doing a

crime and the and the Democrats are

telling Their audience that that's

exonerated no that's two problems one is

you did the crime and you knew it and

you knew it everybody agrees he knew it

that's not the issue the problem is that

the jury would see him as so feeble that

they wouldn't get a conviction and

there's no point in wasting everybody's

time so that's the the insufficient

evidence that her refers to is there's

insufficient evidence that Biden knew

what he was

doing not insufficient evidence that it

happened and that it was illegal only

insufficient evidence that a jury would

believe he understood what he was

doing that to me that's guilty

twice am i counting wrong to me that's

guilty twice once guilty of having a bad

brain just like we suspected and once

guilty of doing a whole bunch of crimes

involving classified

stuff now there was one little uh point

that was fascinating in how two sides

see it so apparently there exists an

audio recording of Biden talking to his

biographer and telling the biographer

that he went and got some classified

documents and he was showing them to him

but apparently if the only evidence you

have is the

audio you can't really know if the

document he showed him was

classified it might have been sitting

next to some classified documents but it

could have been in the Box they had some

classified and some not so when he said

it was classified did he know that they

were classified or did he just take him

out of a box of classified documents but

the one he had maybe not so

classified now that's the sort of

Distinction that her is making when he

anticipates what a defense would be if

it went to court and the defense would

be well technically you just heard an

audio recording of people talking well I

guess that's true did anybody see this

document well no does it say classified

on it we don't know he was just talking

about it so I agree with her that even

though it seems to us that you know it's

just a confession on audio how how clear

could it be I could see how a lawyer

could lawyer that away so I actually

agree with him that that was a weakness

in their ability to get any kind of

prosecution uh we do know Biden lied

when he said I did not share a

classified information I did not with my

ghost riter well I guess you could still

You could argue he didn't lie if you say

it's not confirmed that it was really

classified it's only confirmed that he

said it it's only confirmed that he said

it and since he says things that are not

true all the

time it's a weird defense he says things

that are not true all the time

all

right

um so uh did you notice that the fact

Checkers all disappeared during the her

testimony and the

coverage can you imagine not having your

fact

Checker checking the facts of all the

Democrats who just lied on live

TV yeah so

anyway

um so uh representative of Ken Buck of

Colorado he's going to resign early he's

not even going to wait for the election

and that will make the razor thin

majority of the Republicans so it's very

risky for him to leave early and he said

uh we've taken impeachment we've made it

a social media issue as opposed to a

constitutional one this place just keeps

going down I don't really don't really

want to spend my time

here so what would you call

somebody who becomes part of the

system but then but then he rejects

it what would be a good name for

somebody like that so he's he's uh his

name is his actual name is Ken

buck and he's somebody

who can Buck the

system to leave

early I wonder if he'll fly almost

United when he goes

home yeah he can he can Buck the system

and there he is he's bucking it sure

enough well fonny Willis we're going to

get a the judge is going to decide

whether funny should be removed from the

case because of her undisclosed romance

were not disclosed accurately romance

with the guy who she hired and gave too

much money to be the

prosecutor now the interesting thing is

if she's taken off then it would I guess

leave it would leave her jurisdiction

and they'd have to find another place to

do the trial which is not so easy

because most other places might be more

Rural and have far less resources to do

a major thing like this but the other

possibility that somehow I just hadn't

thought about but it's obvious once once

you read it is that another prosecutor

could decide not to take the

case so it the the way that this could

end is that uh fonny is taking off the

cas it's you know it's it's presented to

another prosecutor and the other

prosecutor says you know I don't think

there's enough here what happens if it

goes to a non Soros funded

prosecutor I think it has to go to a

Soros funded prosecutor or Trump walks

what do you think so that's an actual

possibility the just another prosecutor

will say ah

n could happen all right ladies and

gentlemen that concludes the best live

stream of the day I hope you found some

value in that I'm going to say uh bye

now and um I wonder if I can click off

individual let's see if I can do this I

want to see if I can close individual

platforms

whoa nope that didn't I clicked on

something it took me to the feed of the

other thing so here's our current total

we got uh 1.6 th000 on Rumble

H holy cow I have more people on Rumble

watching this than on

YouTube oh no uh more than on locals on

YouTube it's 4,000 all right well there

you

go all right ladies and gentlemen uh

I'll do the man cave tonights for the

people on the locals make sure you sign

up to see Dilbert comic either on the

xplatform subscription or that and lots

more and political content on

locals Scott adams. locals.com you see

10,000 watching on X oh wow uh X doesn't

give me a number of users oh but the the

numbers on X are I don't know if they're

live or just somebody who watched it

once that might be somebody who just

spent a minute looking at it can't tell

all right that's all for today go have a

great day I'll talk to you tomorrow same

place same

time
