Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that you can hardly understand, all you need for that — hold on, audio is good — all you need for that is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Go. Well, that's pretty good. Pretty good.

All right, what do we got? We got people on Rumble and YouTube and streaming on our Locals. What a show. Happy Saturday. Really, I'm just looking at the complaints to see if I'm going to turn off the stream. Is it just complaints today? All right, let's not do that.

Well, Bill Maher is in the news because he learned something. How would you like to be trending in the news every Saturday morning because you found out something that was true that everybody else already knew? That's what it's like to be Bill Maher. So he's trending because he made a comment that Trump had been found guilty of rape, and Nancy Mace had to inform him that never happened. It just didn't happen. And Bill Maher's on live TV in front of his own audience finding out that a core assumption of all liberals never happened in the real world. Just never happened.

So here's a big crazy woman update. Turns out that in a whole bunch of countries, for young people, there's a huge difference between the young women who are increasingly liberal and the young men who are increasingly conservative. There seems to be a difference in Australia, but that might have more to do with their definition of liberal and conservative there. But apparently it's not just America. There's this huge divide.

What do you think causes the divide? Well, I think it's the news. The news is doing it. That's some of it. But I think it's also that when things are dangerous, people tend to go to gender roles. Do you think that's true? When everything's fine, you can talk about, you know, I'm not sure I'm the right gender. But if you're in danger, the men do the dangerous stuff typically, and the women do, you know, make sure the food is good and everybody's happy. So people do retreat to gender roles. Of course every single person is different. There's no generalization that applies to all people. But we're going to see a little bit more of that in the news today.

Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is in the news for threatening Trump supporters. Said we're going to pay you back so effing hard for all this shit. What exactly did the Trump supporters do? Why is he going to pay us back? For what? Do you wonder that? There's this whole other world that you don't know anything about. Is there some world in which I've done something wrong? What did I do wrong? I'm not aware.

Yeah, yesterday I got a message from a young man who said I had completely changed his life, like really fundamentally. And in that case it was actually a similar situation. Now, did I hurt somebody? Because I hear all the time from people I helped. Oh, literally every day somebody will contact me and say, oh, this made a difference to me, or this helped me, or I'm successful because I use your trick, or I'm healthier, or I quit drinking. Who are the Trump supporters hurting? Is there something I don't know about? Is there somebody out there doing some bad stuff? What's the payback for? I have no idea. I really don't. I just have no idea.

Anyway, what's going to happen when you've got a robot in your house and you commit a crime? Are they going to be able to subpoena your robot? And will the robot actually just testify, like actually get on the stand and say, yes, I was standing in the kitchen when I saw him do the crime? I feel like there should be a law that says your robot can't testify against you, and you can't read its mind, meaning you can't download its memories. And don't you think that's a good law? Your robot should not be able to testify against you. Otherwise I'm not going to let it in the house, right? Because a robot is going to remember your past interactions. That's what makes it useful. If it didn't remember what you did, it wouldn't be a great robot.

So if I've got something in my house that's recording all of my activities, I'm not going to let that thing in the house. Would you? Would you let something into your house that recorded all of your activities and it could be subpoenaed? That's the worst idea in the world. No. So I think that Tesla and the other robot makers need to get together and agree that robots can't testify against their owners.

Also, what happens when the government and the CIA say they need a back door to your robot so that the CIA is not just downloading the robot's memories after the fact? They're actually watching you in real time. Because once they control the robot from the back door, they can make the robot go look through your stuff, couldn't they? If you're not home, could our intelligence people take over your robot and then tell it to search through your drawers and find all your crimes? Look through your computer. You could tell it to steal the password from the owner, couldn't you? Because the robot could just observe the password being typed in. Maybe hear it. Might be able to detect it from the difference of the keystrokes. Your robot is going to be the biggest security problem you've ever had in your life. There will be nothing as insecure as your robot unless there are some real laws that prevent it. I don't know if you could prevent the CIA from getting in, but it'd be nice if you could. Be good.

All right, it's going to be hard for you to keep these in order, so you probably have a problem like I do with the 91 counts against Trump and these several venues and lawyers and how many Soros-backed prosecutors are trying to take him down. Because the stories all seem the same in your head. Well, this is happening with all the airplane stories. So I see a story today that says Justin United Airlines Boeing 737 blah blah blah loses a panel. And I say to myself, is that the story I just read or is that a second version or is it the third panel? How many airplanes have fallen apart in the sky in the last two weeks? I can't tell because I think I'm reading the same story sometimes, but sometimes it's a different story.

Well, once again I would suggest to United — because it seems to be United has a lot of planes in the news — that they change their slogan from "Fly United" to "Fly Mostly United But Sometimes Things Fall Off on the Way." That'd be a little more fair.

All right, it looks like the National Association of Realtors has some kind of settlement in which the 6% house commission will no longer be automatic. So you get to negotiate it. To which I said, you couldn't negotiate before? What do you mean you couldn't negotiate? I've negotiated. Was I not supposed to? Was that illegal when I negotiated? I thought that was legal.

So I first learned about this commission problem when I was trying to build my house back in 2008. And I tried to hire an architect. Have you ever — has everybody tried to do this? Hire an architect. And I talked to the architect and they seemed qualified and good. And I'd say, all right, so what do you charge to design my house? And they'd say, well, it's X percentage of the cost of your house. And I said, wait, what? It's based on a percentage of the cost to build your house? And I said, now let me see if I get this straight. The cost for you to design a room that's 15 by 15 is going to be less than the cost for you to design a room that's 20 by 20? So just the fact that it's larger, I've got to pay $100,000 more? What? Because I'm sure that those are just numbers you're putting on a page. You're not working harder. You're just putting a different number on there.

Now, you know, you could argue there's more rooms and stuff like that. But the point is that when a house cost $100,000, architects were getting a percentage of the $100,000, which was probably a reasonable number when the architect was doing exactly the same work. But the cost of the average house became $2 million depending where you live. They would still get a percentage and nobody thought to change that. So I just rejected everybody who gave me that business model and hired somebody who did it for a flat fee. So I just negotiated it basically and made it go away.

Now it's the same thing if you were buying or selling a house. If you weren't already negotiating the broker's fee, you could have. I don't even know why this is the law. You could have.

All right, there's a very funny story about Francis Macron. Now I didn't know this was happening. I guess I missed the beginning of the story. But Candace Owens said in public that Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, is a man. Oh God, I love to wake up to a story like that. First of all, it has no importance in my world. Like it can't hurt me. You know, if it's true or if it's false, doesn't really matter. And I'm going to say it seems unlikely this is true, but nothing's impossible. I mean the actual story that we're supposed to believe is pretty weird. You know that he was 15 years old and met his teacher when she was 39 or something. Is that the story? And so it's not stranger than that. But I don't think it's true. I'd bet against it. But I also haven't looked into it. So Candace says she's looked into it and I guess there's some alleged evidence of it. So I won't say that she's wrong because she looked into it and I didn't. So that has to be said. But on the surface it seems pretty unlikely. On the surface it seems really unlikely.

All right, but Candace would bet her entire professional reputation on the fact. That's not nothing. At least she's committing. I love Candace even when I disagree with her on certain topics. She's just a wonderful energy. I just like everything she does anyway.

So actually Jake Tapper had to ask Macron during an interview about the allegations that his wife is a man. Now here's the funny part. He didn't ask that question specifically. He didn't say, you know, there's an allegation your wife is a man. What he said was there's an allegation that some of the Mar-a-Lago files included some information about Macron's sex life. And that Trump said at one point that he had some shocking information about Macron's sex life. Now do you think that these shocking allegations are that his wife is a man? I don't think so. He's a French leader with an elderly wife. He's a young French leader with an elderly wife. What do you think the most likely rumors about his sex life are? Most likely has something to do with somebody other than his wife. I mean that would be the French sort of thing.

I will not rule out the Candace Owens hypothesis because as she said she looked into it. And saying that you would stake your entire professional reputation on it is quite a thing to say. So I'm going to say maybe. I'm going to give it a maybe. But probably not. Probably not.

All right. However, I will say that when Jake Tapper asked Macron about information about his explosive information about his sex life, that Macron looked really, really worried in my opinion. Now my opinion of how worried somebody looks is not exactly important. But in my opinion he looked pretty panicked by the allegation. Now I imagine he'd be panicked if it was just something like an affair. So that doesn't mean his wife's a man. But maybe. I just love the fact that it's possible. It's within the range of possibility.

All right, the Post Millennial and others are reporting that Lara Trump, who's now the co-chair of the RNC — or is it chair? I'm not sure — is going to hire Scott Presler to lead its legal ballot harvesting. Now if you're a Trump supporter, how happy are you about that? The Trump supporters have been asking for that specifically by name for a long time. And Lara Trump's going to make it happen.

So here's what I think. You're going to — well, I'll tell you it's already forming. Is it in my imagination or is it obvious in a whole bunch of different ways that Trump really learned how to do this stuff? It doesn't seem like Trump learned a lot from the first go-round because replacing the head of the DNC with Lara — although you know you get the nepotism charges, etc. She's already done the new CEO move. You know the new CEO move. I talked about that a lot in their first election. The new CEO move is when you go in and you immediately do a popular or dramatic thing that becomes your brand for the rest of the time you're in the job. The first thing you do is what people remember you for if it's big. And so the first thing she did was do a very crowd-pleasing and smart thing because Scott Presler has definitely shown that he's got all the skills and the energy and he knows how to do this. So excellent.

And I think that Republicans especially were panicked that the Republicans were not going to do their own legal ballot harvesting. So that's a big confidence builder. As a crowd pleaser it gives you confidence that Trump picked the right person even though she's a family member. And it gives you confidence that she knows what she's doing because she did this quickly and correctly. Real good. Everything about this I like. You don't get to tell those stories a lot where everything about it is good. But look for more signs that the Trump campaign and just his whole game is just a whole bunch better than it used to be because he's learned.

All right, here's a scary story. Judge Napolitano said that right before Trump left office in 2021, Judge Napolitano asked Trump about releasing the JFK assassination files. And Trump said — quote, this is a reported quote so we don't know if this is an exact quote — but reportedly said, "Judge, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either." And I said, who's they and what did they show you? And I guess that got murky.

Do you believe that? Do you believe that Trump saw the JFK assassination files and said, oh God, now I know why you didn't show it to anybody? Do you think that really happened? I don't know. I could imagine it happened. Now that makes you speculate what is it that the public would not be able to see so many years later. And I would say the obvious answer is that it was an inside job. Isn't that the obvious answer? Because if it was an inside job then it suggests that nothing's changed and they could take out the president anytime they wanted. So I'm going to say that the lack of producing it probably means exactly what you think it means. Probably means exactly what you think it means. Yeah, it might implicate some famous people from our past in a way that we couldn't survive it. This might actually be an existential threat. It could reduce the trust in the system. I don't know why anybody trusts the system at this point, but there are people who do. And that could be like the final blow to any trust in the system. And that'd be bad.

Now here's the weirdest story in the world. Apparently there's a Russia election and Russia's new electronic voting system — the very same system that Putin himself voted on — got massively hacked, they say. So over 990,000 cyber attacks reportedly traced back to Ukraine and North America. Huh. North America. Surprise. It's almost as if America tries to interfere in elections in other countries.

Now here's some questions you might ask. Why did Russia introduce electronic voting machines that are connected to the internet and therefore could be hacked? Russia has electronic voting machines attached to the internet. Why is it? Because electronic voting machines attached to the internet saves you money? Big cost saver. I've never heard that. Is it because it reduces costs for ongoing maintenance? Probably not. Is it because you get faster results when you have machines? No indication of that. Is it because you can reduce cheating with machines? Opposite.

So what would be the reason that Russia has machines, and interestingly attached to the internet? Can you think of any other reason other than to make it easier for Putin to cheat and guarantee a win? What would be the other reason? I mean I'm open to another reason. You can't conclude something from lack of reasons. I'm just saying that there is an interesting lack of reasons. And I wonder if there was anything we can learn from the Russia situation that would apply to us. I wonder.

Well, here's a story about the moms and dads taking charge when the government fails. There's a group called MomsAcrossAmerica.org. And apparently somebody said they do good work and do their homework, etc. But they say donuts contain way too much of this thing called glyphosate, which I believe is a weed killer. Is that true? Is glyphosate a weed killer? I think it is. But they're saying that Dunkin' Donuts has too much. Now again that's just a claim by this group. I can't know what's true. And they say it's like way more dangerous than other foods and you shouldn't start your day with a bunch of glyphosate. They say.

Now regardless of whether this is technically accurate or dangerous or not, those are questions I can't answer. I am interested that there's a group called Moms Across America and they're going out and doing something that you would very much want your mom to do, which is make sure your food was safe. Isn't that the most mom thing you could ever do? Make sure the kids are eating safe food. So I love that.

At the same time you're seeing a lot of internet dads trying to close the border. So that's sort of a dad job, security. And you see David Sacks and other internet dads — I'll call them — trying to end the Ukraine war, trying to talk that out of existence. And that's a dad job. And my earlier comment was when there's danger people retreat to gender roles because that's their greatest truth. Right? You know you can have the luxury of playing around with stuff when you're not in danger. But as soon as there's danger people just go right to gender roles. Now again like everything I say that's a generality. It does not apply to every single person because every person is infinitely unique. But there are some generalities which are worth noting.

So here's a perfect example. The moms are going after the quality of the food as they should. The dads are going after let's stop this war and close the border as they should. So at least that part's working out. At least even if politics is broken, you know what's not broken? Mom and dad. Mom and dad's still not broken. I would argue that now mom and dad is the most important for us in the country because they're the ones holding it together against all odds.

Well, Elliot Page — you know Elliot Page, actor Elliot Page, who was once an actress but I think I'm deadnaming her old job or something by saying actress — is now an actor named Elliot Page. And NBC News reports that Elliot is taking aim at the notion that queer films only have a small audience, saying that 30% of young people identify as LGBTQ. So Elliot says, so I'm sorry but this is not a niche. 30% of young people identify as LGBTQ.

What do you think caused that? What do you think caused that? Was it the chemicals in the water that are making the frogs gay? Was it that? Was it, oh I don't know, watching too many Disney movies? Was it TikTok? Probably TikTok. Probably TikTok more than anything else. You want to make a bet? I'll make you a bet that the percentage of this 30% who claim to be part of LGBTQ — I'll bet you nearly 100% of them use TikTok. And I'll bet you that in the group that has more baseline traditional percentage, that they don't use TikTok as much. You want a bet? Anybody want to put a bet on that? Easy to test. I think you'd find a strong correlation between how much TikTok you watch and, you know, maybe it has more to do with what content you're consuming. But yeah, TikTok is probably changing 20% of young people, changing their sexual preference.

Now if you had never studied persuasion or hypnosis you'd say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott, you can't use persuasion to turn somebody gay or you can't use persuasion to change somebody's complete gender identity, can you? Yeah you can. It's pretty easy. In fact the younger you go down in age the easier it is. By the time you got to kindergarten you could change all of them. You could change every one of them. Give me a kindergarten class. Well this sounds terrible so don't make this me. Let's take some good persuader, give them a kindergarten class, and in one year it could change all the genders of the kindergarteners in their minds. They would all think they're with a different gender. Does anybody think that that couldn't be done to change 100% of the genders in a kindergarten class if you had a year to work on it? Yes, yes you could actually do 100%.

Now you move it up to high school. Move it up to high school. How many of their genders and sexual preferences could you change with just persuasion? Well it's harder but 30%. At least 30%. So that's just about right. How about when you get to become a senior citizen? How many senior citizens have changed their genders even if there's a lot of persuasion? Almost none. Almost none, right? It'd be 1%. So yeah, TikTok and teenagers is a really, really bad combination. And I would say there's probably a direct line between TikTok and the increase.

Now have you noticed nobody studied that? Isn't that like a really obvious thing to do a study on? Hey, the percentage of LGBTQ is going through the roof and TikTok seems to be where they get most of their news. It seems pretty obvious, right? Now I would also say it could be in the food. It absolutely could be in the food supply. You know there could be some damn thing that we don't know like microplastics and glyphosate and who knows what that is actually changing people's chemistry. And that might actually change your opinion of your sexuality. So it could be something like that. But I would certainly be studying TikTok because it's the most obvious.

All right, here's how you know that the TikTok banning bill is a fake Trojan horse. First of all it is a TikTok-specific ban. And when the representatives say but you don't understand it's TikTok specific, it's not going to apply to other places — it does say TikTok by name. But there is a place where it says that it could apply to some other unnamed platform in the future if it was also influenced by an adversary. But anybody with IQ over 80 can see that that's really opening the door for the government to say, oh Elon, it looks like because you sell a lot of electric cars and you depend on Chinese manufacturing for your batteries or whatnot, it looks like they're influencing you. No they're not. There's no evidence that they're influencing me. Well yes there is. Let's do a survey of your outcomes on X. Oh look there's a whole bunch of accounts that seem to be pushing Chinese propaganda and I'll bet you knew about it and you could have done more to stop them.

Now it doesn't mean he knew about them. Doesn't mean he could have stopped them. Doesn't even mean the data is real. But do you see how easy it would be for the government to put X on a list if this becomes law? Just trivially easy.

Now I know what you're going to say. But the lawyers and smart people have looked at that language and they've said no, that language couldn't be abused. Take it out. Just take it out. There's your tell. The fact that that language is a problem and it would be as easy as lining it out with a pencil to get rid of the problematic part. Because if you just make it about TikTok you've got wide agreement. If you throw in that Trojan horse part you don't. So why won't they take it out? There's only one reason that's in there. It's either intentionally to kill the bill — in other words it's a poison pill — or if it got approved it would be a way to take out X.

Well do you know why this got bipartisan support? Let me tell you. Because the Republicans are apparently stupid, sorry. And the Democrats are trying to sneak one past the keeper. That's what it looks like to me. So the Democrats said yes because they know it's a trick. And the Republicans said yes because they don't know it's a trick. I think that's the story. Because you can see the Republicans talking about it like they don't know it's a trick. That's what it looks like. So I can't think of any other reason you can get 100% bipartisan support unless one side knew it was a trick. That's the only way you can do it.

And sure enough here's the other. So the two tells that this is not genuine is one, that they put any language in there that would apply to another American company down the road. The fact that that's in there at all tells you something, doesn't it? And then the second part is that the people talking about the bill pretend it's not in there. They just pretend it's not there. What? That's Republicans. They're pretending it's not there. So they're either in on it or they haven't read it or they're working with the intelligence people to get control of the platform. And everything the Republicans who are for it and against it are saying doesn't appear to be true or smart or typical to their own past. In other words we're seeing very clearly very smart people doing things that are either unsound, uninformed, or dumb. Way more on this topic than I've ever seen on any other topic. So yeah, everything's something dicey about this.

So I'd say that TikTok is bad but it could also be true that the bill to ban TikTok is just as bad, just in a different way. And it could be also bad that Congress is worse than TikTok and worse than the bill.

Now let me ask you a question to check your internet memories and this might blow you away a little bit. So you might want to put a cool build on your brain. To the best of your knowledge, who was the first public figure — doesn't have to be a politician but a public figure — to call for the ban on TikTok? In the comments, who's the first public figure to call for a ban on TikTok?

Well some of you are probably going to your search engines to look for it. And if you Googled it or used Grok or used Gemini or ChatGPT, do you know what it would tell you? It would tell you that the first person who talked about banning it was Donald Trump or Josh Hawley. Do you know what the real answer is? The real answer is me in December of 2020. So that's when I started talking about it and continued talking about it since then. So if you can find a source before December of 2020 then I'll say oh I guess somebody got there first. But if you can't find that source — and it's really hard to find it by the way. It took a team of people and thank you Owen for finally finding that to confirm.

So here's what's happening. I'm not telling you this so I can get your credit, although that's cool too. I like credit. I do like to be recognized for getting something right. We all do. So that's not nothing. But there's a bigger point to this. You're watching history being rewritten wrong in your lifetime. Think about the nature of this story. This story is being told completely wrong and those of you who lived through it are completely aware of it. And it's being recorded as a complete fake history while you're alive and while you're watching it in real time.

And do you know I've noticed this with other searches I did this morning that very clearly showed that these search engines have become useless. So there are probably other examples and you could come up with them in which you're watching in real time as the history of the world is completely fake and it's going into the history books. It's not like the first time. There's a lot of them, right? And I posted this on yesterday. Do you remember it used to be a generally accepted statement that winners write history? You all believe that's true, right? The winners get to write history because if there's a big war or you take over the country or something you get to write your own history. Somewhere along the line that stopped. We now have a situation where only losers write history. Like actually the biggest losers in society are reporters and the history teachers who believe that the reporters were true. So we actually have a complete reversal. We have a situation where the losers are writing history and it's no more true than when the winners write it. When the winners write history it's fake. But when the losers write it it's just fake a different way. But still all fake. So all of our history is fake. That's confirmed. I saw that Elon boosted my message that history is fake anyway.

Fani Willis. So there's a result there. I guess the judge said after all the testimony about Fani hiring her boyfriend Wade to prosecute Trump that that was too much of an appearance of conflict of interest. And so either she had to get off the case, said the judge, or the boyfriend had to be fired. So the boyfriend quit so they didn't have to go through the indignity of being fired. But we assume he had to be fired. So quitting just saved him some ego. But anyway, I'm very happy about this result. Now it's bad for Trump obviously. But I love the fact that we don't have to guess if the legal system is rigged. Leaving her on the case is just such a glaring obvious confirmation that the legal system isn't even trying. This is not even trying. Come on people. So I think even Democrats can start to notice. When you leave her on the case I think they noticed.

I also love that the Democrats keep trotting Biden out and telling us that he's perfectly fine. Now that's funny. It's become completely Monty Python-esque. Yeah. So I mean we're about three months away from Biden literally being a piece of driftwood. That's like he won't be able to talk or move and they're going to point to him and say he looks fine to me. And you'll say but he can't even talk or move. And then they'll say he looks good to me. What are you, some MAGA kind of crazy person? Perfectly fine. No he can't speak. He's wetting his pants right now. No he's not. And besides Trump does twice as bad things. No but okay. Now I think he's dead. He's not breathing. He's breathing. He's breathing fine. He breathes twice as much as any of us. We can't even keep up with his breathing. I swear that's rigor mortis. I'm seeing rigor mortis set in right in front of me. We checked his pulse. He is very, very dead. He's dead. Are you kidding me? Have you seen Trump lately? Oh my God. Everything with you MAGA people is about Biden Biden Biden but look at your guy. Look at your guy. He forgot a name once. I know he forgot some names sometimes. We all do that. But he's literally dead. He's literally in rigor mortis. We can smell him now. His bowels have emptied. You're crazy you MAGA people. He is more capable than anybody on the staff. In fact we just can't keep up with him now.

I enjoy that show. If you're going to go full Monty Python I'm down for that. Let's do more of that. Yep. Let's pretend everything that is ridiculous is true.

All right, here's my favorite fake story of the day. There's a fake story that I think it's in the New York Post that Don Lemon demanded from Elon a Cybertruck and or to be on the X platform and some kind of arrangement. They report that Don Lemon demanded a Cybertruck, $5 million signing bonus, $8 million salary, a $15 million marketing budget, private jet flights, pay for his massages in Vegas, executive assistance and equity in X. Oh and also control over news policy on X.

Now do you know what the source for that is? For a story like that you'd want a pretty solid source, wouldn't you? You know what the source is? The New York Post has learned. So are you happy with that source? The New York Post has learned. No, none of this is true. None of this is true. How many of you believe this story? Did any of you believe this? They say a document that they haven't showed you. Well the agent said that 100% of it is false.

Let me give you a tip about liars. Liars don't talk that way, right? The agent knows the truth because the agent would be negotiating. If the agent had said don't believe everything you read I would say oh must be a lot of that's true. If the agent had said there's only one source for that I would have said oh. But you didn't say it's false. If they had said it was a first draft I would have said oh so it's a little bit true. There are a million things that the agent could have said where I would have said hmm I'm not sure that's quite the denial it needs to be. But here's what a real denial looks like. It's 100% false. Every part of it. That's a good denial. If I could ever teach you to deny, deny 100% of it. Otherwise it's a little bit true, right?

So between the fact that the source is Don Lemon has a lot of enemies, the claim itself is on its face ridiculous, that didn't happen, and the agent says it's 100% false, I'm backing Don Lemon on this story 100%. I could be wrong. Yeah I could be wrong because we're doing a little mind reading here. But everything about this story says fake. But we want to believe it, don't we? Don't you want to believe it? Come on you ought to believe it. That's why it's so good if it's a prank. Which it looks like it's a really good one. A good prank. The key to a good prank is not just that they fooled you. That's not a prank. Fooling you is not a prank. A good prank is when they fool you in the thing that you were ready to believe. You were already primed to believe it. Do you see how perfect this is as a prank? You were primed to believe that Don Lemon is crazy and asking for stuff that's ridiculous. Now he might have asked for a lot. That's how negotiations work. But no, none of this sounds real to me.

All right, there's another report that there's some kind of nervous system problems have become the biggest health problem, even bigger than heart disease. So there's something we don't know that's suddenly affecting nervous systems. Something. There's something that happened a few years ago that apparently is having a huge impact on the population in general. Something. And it's causing strokes and migraines and dementia. And those problems have surged past heart disease to become the leading cause of illness. Not death but illness. So that's bad.

Now all of you of course are ahead of me and you're saying well what has changed recently? Well that pandemic and those vaccinations. So many of you have automatically gone to the belief that the vaccinations is the problem. And I ask you this question. Have you ever seen a study that compared the baseline health of vaccinated people who never got COVID — vaccinated people to unvaccinated people? Have you ever seen that? Well why haven't you seen that?

Now what you're going to say is but Scott here's the thing that shows that the vaccinated got more COVID. Okay fine. But what about the excess deaths? Does it seem unusual to you that the single most important question — as far as I know there's no study to it, never seen one. The obvious thing to study is people who have never been vaccinated compared to the past and see if the never vaccinated have a higher baseline of deaths.

Now are you blown away by the fact that you're not aware of any study of that? Do you know what they study instead? They'll do who got COVID, was vaccinated or unvaccinated. They'll also show you the baseline compared to now which includes the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. You really need to separate that out.

Now how many of you are having a moment here where you're saying wait a minute that is the most obvious thing to do. Look at unvaccinated people who never got COVID because the COVID itself could be part of the long-term problems. You don't know. Unvaccinated, never got COVID. Give me their baseline. If their baseline is flat and there's no excess mortality, well it's the shots. Am I right? Like what else would it be? It's the shots if that if it's the only group that didn't see a difference in their baseline mortality. And nobody studied that. Just hold that in your mind that you're not aware of any study of the only thing that would tell you the answer. Why is that? Can't get funded probably I'm guessing. Or nobody wants to know.

All right but until you have that study that would be very useful as opposed to the other studies that I consider muddy or terrible, I would say that we also have to look at the food supply. I have a hypothesis without facts but my hypothesis is this. When the pandemic hit it caused a lot of people to start using substitutes to get done what they needed to do. They had to find different suppliers for this or that. Do you think there's any chance that farmers changed out the chemistry that they're using for their products because it was a shortage? In other words did they have to use a different fertilizer during the pandemic and maybe kept doing it? Did they have to use a different weed killer or more of it because of the pandemic? Was there anything that changed in the chemistry of our food supply because of the pandemic? And the answer is who studied that? I've never heard anybody look into it. But we should. We should certainly isolate for the shot by looking at unvaccinated which we haven't done. And if we found that everybody had the same baseline problems it's probably the food supply or a form of pollution or microplastics or something. Maybe even lifestyle because a lot of people had the lifestyle change after the pandemic. So I wonder if loneliness could get you there all by itself. I'm pretty sure if you studied lonely people they would have a much higher sickness rate. Would you agree? And that becoming lonely hurts your entire biology so much that I think it would give you a higher mortality rate and it would be pretty direct.

So one of the things to study would be loneliness because the pandemic did cause a real big difference in how we interact with other people. There are far fewer people who are finding satisfying relationships and such. So could be loneliness, could be the food supply, could be something in the environment like microplastics. But it could be the shots. What we know for sure is that the thing we call science is not trying to answer that question too hard, is it? No it's not.

All right ladies and gentlemen this is the conclusion of my planned remarks. Is there any story I missed? And when we're done I'm going to go privately to talk to the folks on Locals to give them an after show. I might have to close this stream. If you're on Locals right now, if I close it I'll open up an after show stream. It'll take me about 60 seconds to open up a new one.

More Roundup being used somebody says. No but the fertilizer is generic. But anything that we get from China would have possibly been a suspect. So ask somebody in farming was there any big change in how farmers farmed? Have you ever seen anybody ask that question? Because I think there was. Because there were big changes in the way everybody did everything. Why would farming be different? They must have had some shortages of something and substitutions they must have.

All right so just a hypothesis.

All right ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say bye on the platform of YouTube and Rumble and who else we got here, Locals. And I'm going to open up a local stream because they're subscribers and they get a little extra. Thanks for joining another great Coffee with Scott Adams. See you tomorrow.

all right in one minute we are ready back oh damn it all right in one minute so I put my phone on the off button I turned off my computer accidentally there we go there we go we have complaining we're starting with complaining today all right so we won't do the multiple streams we have too much complaining good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's call coffee with Scott Adams and uh if you'd like to take this experience up the levels that you can hardly understand all you need for that hold on oh audio is good all you need for that is a cuper mugar glass a tanker chelin a canteen jugar flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dope means the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go well that's pretty good pretty good all right what do we got we got people on Rumble and You.

Tube and streaming in our locals what a show happy Saturday really I'm just looking at the complaints to see if I'm going to turn that turn off the stream is it is it just complaints today all right let's not do that well Bill Mah is in the news uh because he learned something how would you like to be trending in the news every Saturday morning because you found out something that was true that everybody else already knew that that that's what it's like to be uh Bill M so he's trending because he made a comment that Trump had been found guilty of rape and Nancy mace had to inform him that never happened it just didn't happen and Bill Mars on live TV in front of his own audience finding out that a core Assumption of all of all liberals never happened in the real world just never happened so uh here's a b crazy woman update turns out that in a whole bunch of countries there for young people there's a huge difference between the young women who are increasingly liberal and the young men who are increasingly um conservative there seems to be a difference in Australia but that might have more to do with their definition of liberal and conservative there but but apparently it's not just America there's this huge divide what do you think causes the Divide um well uh I think it's the news the news is doing it that's some of it but I think it's also that uh when things are dangerous uh people tend to go to gender roles do you think that's true when when everything's fine you can talk about you know I'm not sure I'm the right gender but if you're in danger uh the men do the dangerous stuff typically and the women do you know make sure the food is good and everybody's happy so people do uh Retreat to gender roles of course every single person is different there's no generalization that applies to all people um but we're going to see a little bit more of that in the news today mle crew drummer Tommy Lee is in the news for threatening Trump supporters said we're going to pay you back so effing hard for all this s what ex what exactly did the Trump supporters do why is he going to pay us back for for what do you wonder that there's this whole other world that you don't know anything about is there is there some World in which I've done something wrong what did I do wrong I'm not aware yeah yesterday I got a message from a young man who said I had completely changed his life like really fundamentally um and in that case it was actually there was a slmed slal situation now did I H somebody because I hear all the time from people I helped oh literally every day somebody will contact me and say oh this made a difference to me or this helped me or I'm successful because I use your trick or I'm healthier or I quit drinking who who are the who are the Trump supporters hurting is there something don't know about is there somebody out there doing some bad stuff what's the payback for I have no idea I really don't I just no idea anyway um what's going to happen when you've got a robot in your house and you commit a crime are they going to be able to subpoena your robot and will the robot actually just testify like actually get on the stand and say yes I was standing in the kitchen when I saw him do the crime I feel like there should be a law that says your robot can't testify against you or and you can't read its mind mean meaning you can't download its its memories and uh don't you think that's a good law your robot should not be able to testify against you otherwise I'm not going to let it in the house right cuz a robot is going to remember your past interactions that's what makes it useful if it didn't remember what you did it wouldn't be a great robot so if I've got something in my house that's recording all of my activities I'm not going to let that thing in the house would you would you let something into your house that recorded all of your activities and it could be subp it that's the worst idea in the world no so so I think that uh you know Tesla and the other robot makers need to get together and agree that robots can't testify against their owners um also what happens when the government and the CIA say they need a back door to your robot so that the CIA is not just downloading the robots memories after the fact they're actually watching you in real time because once they control the robot from the back door they can make the robot go look through your stuff couldn't they if you're not home could your could our intelligence people take over your robot and then tell it to search through your drawers and find all all your crimes look through your computer you could tell it to steal the password from from the owner couldn't you because the the robot could just observes the password being typed in maybe hear it might be able to detect it from the difference of the keystrokes your your robot is going to be the biggest security problem you've ever had in your life there will be nothing as insecure as your robot unless there are some real laws that you you prevent it I don't know if you could prevent the CIA from getting in but be nice and be good all right uh it's going to be hard for you to keep these in order so you probably have a problem like I do with the 91 counts against Trump and these several venues and lawyers and how many Soros black prosecutors are trying to take him down because the stories all seem to seem the same in your head well this is happening with all the airplane stories so I see a story today that says justtin United Airlines Boeing 737 blah blah blah loses a panel and I say to myself is that the story I just read or is that a second version or is it the third panel the fellow how many how many airplanes have fallen apart in the sky in the last two weeks I can't tell because I think I'm reading the same story sometimes but sometimes it's a different story well uh once again I would suggest to United because uh it seems to be United has a lot of planes in the news that they change their slogan from fly United to fly mostly United but sometimes things fall off on the way mostly United but sometimes things fall off on the way that'd be a little more fair all right it looks like the National Association of Realtors has some kind of settlement in which the 6% House Commission will no longer be automatic so you get to negotiate to which I said you couldn't negotiate before what what do you mean you couldn't negotiate I I've negotiated that was I not supposed to was that illegal when I negotiated my I thought that was legal so I first learned about this uh commission problem when I was trying to build my house now uh back in 2008 and I tried to hire an architect have you ever has everybody tried to do this hire an architect and I talked to the architect and they seem qualified and good and I'd say all right so what do you charge to design my house and they'd say well it's X percentage of the cost of your house and I said wait what it's based on a percentage of the cost of your house the cost to build your house and I said now let me see if I get this straight the cost for you to design a room that's 15 by 15 is going to be less than the cost of you to design a room that's 20 by 20 so just the fact that it's larger I've got to pay $100,000 more what because I'm sure that those are just numbers you're putting on a page you're not working harder you're just putting a different number on there now you know you could argue there's more rooms and stuff like that but the point is that when when a house cost $100,000 Architects were getting a percentage of the 100,000 which was probably a reason able number when the when the architect was doing exactly the same work but the cost of the average house became 2 million depending where you live they would still get a percentage and and nobody thought to change that so so I just you know I just rejected everybody who gave me that business model and hired somebody who did it for a flat fee so I just negotiated it basically and made it go away now it's the same thing if you were buying or selling a house if you weren't already negotiating the broker's fee you could have I don't I don't even know why this is the law you could have all right there's a very funny story about uh Francis mccrone now I didn't know this was happening I guess I missed the beginning of the story but uh Candace Owens said in public now that she would better career than French president Emanuel macron's wife Bridget is a man oh God I love to wake up to a story like that first of all it has no importance in my world like it can't hurt me you know if it's true or if it's false doesn't really matter but um and and I'm going to say it seems unlikely this is true but nothing's impossible I mean the the actual story that we're supposed to believe is pretty weird you know that he was 15 years old and met his teacher when she was 39 or something is that the story and so it's not Stranger than that but I don't think it's true I'd bet against it but uh but I also haven't looked into it so Candace says she's looked into it and I guess there's some alleged evidence of it so I won't say that she's wrong because she looked into it and I didn't so that has to be said but on the surface it seems pretty unlikely on the surface seems really unlikely all right but she would uh Candace would bet her entire professional reputation on the fact you that's not nothing at least at least she's committing I love Candace Zs even when I disagree with her on certain topics uh she's just she's just a wonderful energy I just like everything she does anyway um let's see he so actually Jake Tapper had to ask MCR during an interview about the about the allegations that his wife is a man now here's the funny part um he didn't he didn't ask that question specifically he didn't say you know there's an allegation your wife is man what he said was there's an allegation that some of the maralago files included uh included some information about macron's sex life uh and and that Trump uh said at one point that he had some you know shocking information about macron's sex life now do you think that these shocking allegations are the the his wife is a man I don't think so he's a French leader with a an elderly wife he's a young French leader with an elderly wife what do you think the most likely rumors about his sex life are most likely has something to do with somebody other than his wife I mean that would be the French sort of thing I will not rule out the Candace Owen's hypothesis because as she said she looked into it and saying that you would stake your entire professional reputation on it is quite a thing to say so I I'm going to say maybe I'm I'm going to give it a maybe but probably not probably not all right um however I will say that when uh uh Jake Tapper asked macron about uh information about his explosive information about his sex life that mcon looked really really worried in my opinion now my opinion of how worried somebody looks is not exactly important but in my opinion he looked pretty panicked by the allegation now I imagine he'd be panicked if it was just something like an affair so so that doesn't mean his wife's a man but maybe I just love the fact that it's possible it's within the Poss it's it's within the range of possibility all right the post Millennium and others are reporting that laara Trump who's now the co-chair of the RNC or is it chair I'm not sure um is going to hire Scott presler to lead its legal ballot harvesting now how ha if you're a trump supporter how happy are you about that the Trump supporters has been asking for that specifically by name for a long time and uh La Trump's going to make it happen so here's what I think you're going to well I'll tell you it's already forming is in my imagination or is it obvious in a whole bunch of different ways that Trump really learned how to do this stuff it doesn't seem like Trump learned a lot from the first go round because replacing the you know the of the DNC with Lara um although you know you get the nepotism charges Etc she's already she's already done the new CEO move you know the new CEO move I talked about that a lot in their first election the new CEO move is when you go in and you immediately do a popular or dramatic thing that becomes your it becomes your brand for the rest of the time you're in the job the first first thing you do is what people remember you for if it's big and so the first thing she did was do a very crowd-pleasing and smart thing because Scott presler has definitely shown that he's got all the skills and the energy and he knows how to do this so excellent and I think that uh Republicans especially were panicked that the the Republicans were not going to do their own legal legal ballot harvesting so that's a big confidence Builder as a crowd pleaser um it gives you confidence that Trump picked the right person even though she's a family member and it gives you confidence that she knows what she's doing because she did this quickly and correctly real good everything about this I like you don't get to tell those stories a lot where everything about it is good but uh look for more signs that the Trump campaign and just his whole game is just a whole bunch better than it used to be because he's learned all right here's a scary story judge napalitano said that uh let's see uh right before Trump left office in 2021 judge Nano said um he asked uh Trump about releasing the JFK assassination files and Trump said quote this is a reported quote so we don't know if this is an exact quote but reportedly said uh um judge if they showed you what they showed me you wouldn't have released it either and I said who's they and what did they show you and I guess that got murky do you believe that do you believe that Trump saw the JFK assassination files and said oh God now I know why you didn't show it to anybody do you think that really happened I don't know um I could imagine it happened now that makes you speculate what is it that that the public would not be able to see so many years later and I would say the obvious answer is that it was an inside job isn't that the obvious answer because if it was an inside job then it suggests that nothing's changed and they could take out the president anytime they wanted so I'm going to say that the lack of um producing it probably means exactly what you think it means probably means exactly what you think it means yeah it might implicate some famous people from our past in a way that we couldn't survive it this might actually be an existential threat it it could reduce the trust in the system I don't know why anybody trusts the system at this point but there are people who do and that could be like the final blow to the any trust in the system and that'd be bad now here's the weirdest story in the world apparently there's a Russia election and Russia's new electronic voting system the very same system that Putin himself voted on uh got massively hacked they say so uh over 990,000 cyber attacks reportedly traced back to Ukraine and North America huh North America surprise it it's almost as if America tries to interfere in elections in other countries um now here's H some questions you might ask why did Russia introduce electronic voting machines that are connected to the internet and therefore could be hacked Russia has electronic voting machines attached to the internet why is it because electronic voting machines attached to the internet saves you money big costs saver I've never heard that um is it because it reduces costs for ongoing maintenance probably not is it because you get faster results when you have machines um no indication of that is it because you can re reduce cheating with machines um opposite so what would be the reason that Russia has machines and interestingly attached to the internet can you think of any other reason other than to make it easier for a Putin to cheat and guarantee you w what would be the other reason I mean I'm open to another reason I you can't conclude something from lack of reasons I'm just saying that there is an interesting lack of reasons and I wonder if there was anything we can learn from the Russia situation that would apply to us I wonder well here's an story about the moms and dads taking charge when the government fails there's a group called moms across am.org and apparently somebody said they do good work and do their do their homework Etc but they they say Donuts contains way too much of this thing called glyphosate which I believe is a weed killer is that true is glyphosate a weed killer I think it is but uh they're saying that Dunkin Donut says too much now again that's just a claim by this group I can't know what's true and they say it's like way more dangerous than other foods and you shouldn't start your day with a bunch of glyphy they say now regardless of whether this is technically accurate or dangerous or not that's those are questions I can't answer um I am interested that there's a group called moms Across America and they're going out and doing something that you would very much want your mom to do which is make sure your food was safe isn't that the most mom thing you could ever do make sure the kids are eating safe food so I love that at the same time you're seeing a lot of Internet dads trying to close the border so that's sort of a dad job security and uh you see David saxs and other internet dads I'll call them trying to end the Ukraine war trying to talk that out of existence and that's a dad job and my earlier comment was when there's danger people Retreat to gender roles because that's their greatest truth right right you know you you can have the luxury of playing around with stuff when you're not in danger but as soon as there's danger people just go right to gender roles now again like everything I say that's a generality it does not apply to every single person because every person is infinitely unique but there are some generalities which are worth noting so here's a perfect example the uh moms are going after the quality of the food as they should the dads are going after let's stop this war and close the border as they should so so at least that part's working out at least even if politics is broken you know what's not broken mom and dad mom and dad's still not broken it's I I would argue that now Mom and Dad is uh the most important for us in the country because the ones holding it together Against All Odds well uh Elliot page you know Elliot page um actor ellot page who was once an actress uh but I think I'm dead naming her old job or something by saying actress is now an actor named Elliot pagee and uh his NBC news reports that Elliott is taking aim at the notion that queer films only have a small audience saying that 30% of young people identify as lgbtq so ellot says so I'm sorry but this is not a niche 30% of young people identify as lgbtq what do you think caused that what do you think caused that was it the chemicals in the water that are making the frogs gay was it that was it oh I don't know watching too many Disney movies was it Tik Tock probably Tik Tok probably Tik Tok more than anything else you want to make a bet I'll make you a bet that the percentage of this 30% who claim to be part of LGBT I'll bet you nearly 100% of them use Tech Tok and I'll bet you that in the group that has um more less say Baseline traditional percentage that how about they don't use um Tik Tok as much you want a bet anybody want to put a bet on that easy to test I think you'd find a strong correlation between how much Tik Tok you watch and you know maybe has more to do with what content you're consuming but uh yeah Tik Tok is probably changing 20% of young people uh is changing their sexual preference now if you had never studied persuasion or or hypnosis you'd say to yourself Scot Scot Scot you can't use persuasion to turn somebody gay or you can't use persuasion to change somebody's complete gender identity can you yeah you can it's pretty easy R yep in fact the younger you go down in age the easier it is by the time you got to kindergarten you could change all of them you could change every one of them give give me a kindergarten CL well this sounds terrible so don't make this me let's uh take some good Persuader give them a Kindergarten class and one year it could change all the genders of the kindergarteners in their minds they would all think there with a different gender does anybody think that that couldn't be done to change 100% of the genders in a Kindergarten class if you had a year to work on it yes yes you could actually do 100% now you move it up to a high school move it up to high school how many of their genders and sexual preferences could you change which just persuasion well it's harder but 30% at least 30% so that's just about right how about when you get to become a senior citizen how many senior citizens have changed their genders even if there's a lot of persuasion almost none almost none right it'd be 1% so yeah Tik Tock and uh teenagers is a really really bad combination and I would say there's probably a direct line between Tik Tok and the increase now have you noticed nobody studied that isn't that like a really obvious thing to do a study on hey the percentage of lgbtq is going through the roof and uh Tik Tock seems to be where they get most of their news it seems pretty obvious right now I I would also say it could be in the food it absolutely could be in the food supply you know there could be some damn thing that we don't know like microplastics and glac of fate and who knows what that is actually changing people's chem chemistry and that might actually change your opinion of your sexuality so it could be something like that but I would certainly be studying Tik Tock it's because it's the most obvious all right um here's how you know that the tick tock Banning bill is a fake Trojan Horse um first of all it is a Tik Tock specific ban and when the representatives say but you don't understand it's Tik Tock specific it's not going to apply to other places it does say TiK ToK by name but there is a place where it says that it could apply to some other unnamed platform in the future if it was also influenced by an adversary for an adversary but anybody with IQ over 80 can see that that's really opening the door for the government to say oh Elon it looks like because you sell a lot of electric cars and you depend on Chinese manufacturing for your batteries or whatnot it looks like they're influencing you no they're not there's no evidence that they're influencing me well yes there is let's do a let's do a survey of your outcomes on uh on X oh look there's a whole bunch of accounts that seem to be pushing Chinese propaganda and I'll bet you knew about it and you could have done more to stop them now doesn't mean he knew about them doesn't mean he could have stopped them doesn't even mean the data is real but do you see how easy it would be for the government to put x on a business if this becomes law just trivially easy now I know what you going to say but but but the lawyers and smart people have looked at that language and they've said no that that language couldn't be abused take it out just take it out there's your tell the fact that that language is a problem and it would be as easy as lining it out with a pencil to get rid of the the problematic part because if you just make it about Tik Tok you've got wide agreement if you if you throw in that Trojan Horse part you don't so why won't they take it out there's only one reason that's in there it's either intentionally to kill the bill in other words it's a poison pill or if it got approved it would be a way to take out X well do you know why this got bipartison support let me tell you because the Republicans are apparently stupid sorry and the Democrats are trying to sneak one past the keeper that's what it looks like to me so the Democrats said yes because they know it's a trick and the Republicans said yes because they don't know it's a trick I think that's the story because you can see the Republicans talking about it like they don't know it's a trick that's what it looks like so I can't think of any other reason you can get 100% bipartisan support unless one side knew it was a trick that's the only way you can do it and sure enough here's the other uh so the two tells that this is not genuine is one that they put that they put any language in there that would apply to another American company down the road the fact that that's in there at all tells you something doesn't it and then the the second part is that the people talking about the bill pretend it's not in there they they just pretend it's not there what that's Republicans they're pretending it's not there so they're either in on it or they haven't read it or they're working with the intelligence people to get control of the platform and uh everything the Republicans who are for it and against it are saying doesn't appear to be true or smart or typical to their own past in other words we're seeing very clearly very smart people doing things that are either un sound uninformed or dumb way more on this topic than I've ever seen on any other topic so yeah every there's something dicey about this so I'd say that uh uh Tik Tok is bad but it could also be true that the bill to ban Tik Tok is just as bad just in a different way and it could be also bad that Congress is worse than Tik Tok and worse than the bill now let me ask you a question to check your internet memories and this might blow you away a little bit so you you might want to put a c build on your brain um to the best of your knowledge who was the first public figure doesn't have to be a politician but a public figure to call for the ban on Tik Tok in the comments who who's the first public figure to call for a ban on Tik Tok well some of you are probably going to your search engines to look for it and if you Googled it or used Gro or used uh gemini or chat GPT do you know what it would tell you it would tell you that the first person who talked about it Banning it was Donald Trump or or Josh how Howley Josh Holly do you know what do you know what the real answer is the real answer is me in December of 2020 so that's when I started talking about it and continued talking about it since then so if you can find a source before February of 2020 then I'll say oh I guess somebody got there first but if you can't find that source and it's really hard to find it by the way it took a team of people and thank you Owen for finally finding that to confirm so here here's what's happening I'm not telling you this so I can get your credit although that's cool too I like credit I I do like to be recognized for getting something right we all do so that's that's not nothing but there's a bigger point to this you're watching history being Rewritten wrong in your lifetime think about the nature of this story this story is being told completely wrong and those of you who live through it are completely aware of it and it's being recorded as a complete fake history while you're alive and while you're watching it in real time and and do you know I've noticed this with other searches I did one this morning that was very clearly uh showed that these search engines have become useless so there are probably other examples and you could come up with them in which you're watching in real time as the history of the world is completely fake and it's going into the history books it's not like the first time there's a lot of them right and I posted this on yesterday do you remember it used to be a generally accepted statement that Winners write history you all you all believe that's true right the winners get the right history because if there's a big war or you take over the country or something you get to write your own history somewhere along the line that stopped we now have a situation where only losers right history like actually the biggest losers in societ are are reporters and the history teachers who believe that the reporters were true so we actually have a complete reversal we have a situation where the losers are writing history and and it's no more true than when the winners write it when the winners write history is fake but when the losers write it it's just fake a different way but still all fake so all of our history is fake that's confirmed I saw that Elon you know boosted my message that history is fake anyway um fonnie Willis so there's a result there I guess the judge said after all the testimony about fonnie hiring her boyfriend Wade uh to uh prosecute Trump that uh that was too much of a appearance of conflict of interest and so either she had to get off the case said the judge or the boyfriend had to be fired so the boyfriend quit so they didn't have to go through the indignity of being fired um but we I I I think we assume he had to be fired so quitting just saved him some ego but I so I guess fonnie will still be on the case so the evil lying bigot remains and Wade who the the poor Wade it was just maybe over his headed in the job probably was just trying to do his job I'm guess but anyway um I'm very happy about this result now it's bad for Trump obviously but I love the fact that we don't have to guess if the legal system is rigged leaving her on the case is just such a glaring obvious confirmation that the legal system isn't even trying this is not even trying come on people so I think even Democrats can start to notice when when you leave her on the case I think they noticed I also love that uh that that the Democrats keep trotting Biden out and telling us that he's perfectly fine now that's funny it It's become completely Monty pythonesque yeah so I mean he'll be we're about three months away from Biden literally being you know a piece Driftwood that's like you know he won't be able to talk or move and they're going to they're going to point to him and say he looks fine to me and you'll say but he can't even talk or move and then they'll say he looks good to me what are you some Mega kind of crazy person perfectly fine no he can't speak he uh he's he's wetting his pants right now no he's not and besides Trump does twice as bad things no but okay now I think he's dead I I I I I he's not breathing he's breathing he's breathing fine he breathes twice as much as any of us we can't even keep up with his breathing I swear that's rigor mortis I'm seeing rigor mortis set in right in front of me we checked his pulse he is very very dead he's dead are you kidding me have you seen Trump lately oh my God everything everything with you magga people is about Biden Biden Biden but look at your guy look at your guy he forgot a name once I know he forgot some names sometimes we all do that but he's literally dead he's literally in rigor Morse we can smell him now his his bowels have emptied I you're crazy you magga people he is more capable than anybody on the staff in fact we just can't keep up with them now I enjoy that show if you're going to go Full Monty Python I'm down for that let's do more of that yep let's pretend everything that is ridiculous is true all right here's my favorite fake story of the day uh there's a fake story that I think it's in the New York Post that uh Don Lemon demanded from Elon a cyber truck and or to be on the xplatform and some kind of a you know Arrangement uh they report that Don Lemon demanded a cyber truck $5 million signing bonus $8 million salary a $15 million marketing budget private Jeff flights pay for his massages in Vegas executive assistance and equity and X oh and also control over news policy on X now do you know what the source for that is for a story like that you'd want a pretty Solid Source would you you know what the source is the New York Post has learned so you good are are you happy with that Source the New York Post has learned no none of this is true none of this is true how many of you believe this story did any of you believe this they say a document that they haven't showed you well the agent said that 100% of it is false let me give you a tip about liars Liars don't talk that way right the agent knows the truth cuz the agent would be negotiating if the agent had said don't believe everything you read I would say oh must be a lot of that's true if the agent had said um there's only one source for that I would have said oh but you didn't say it's false if they had said uh it was a first draft I would have said oh so it's a little bit true you're saying there are a million things that the agent could have said where I would have said hm I'm not sure that's quite the denial it needs to be but here's what a real denial looks like it's 100% false every part of it that's a that's a good denial if I could ever teach you to deny deny 100% of it otherwise it's a little bit true right so between the fact that the source is Don Lemon has a lot of enemies the claim itself is on its uh you know on its face is ridiculous that didn't happen and the agent says it's 100% false I'm backing Don Lemon on this story 100% I could be wrong yeah I could be wrong because we're doing a little mind reading here but everything about this story say fake but we want to believe it don't we don't you want to believe it come on you ought to believe it that's why it's so good if it's a prank which it looks like it's a really good one a good prank the the key to a good prank is not just that they fooled you that's not a prank fooling you is not a prank a good prank is when they fool you in the thing that you were ready to believe you were already primed to believe it do you see how perfect this is as a prank you were primed to believe that Don Lemon is crazy and asking for stuff that's ridiculous now he might have asked for a lot that's how negotiations work but no none of this sounds real to me all right uh there's another report that there's some kind of uh nervous system problems have become the biggest health problem even bigger than heart disease so there's something we don't know that's suddenly affecting nervous systems something there's something that happened a few years ago that apparently is having a huge impact on the population in general something and U it's causing strokes and migraines and dementia and those problems have surged Past heart disease to become the leading cause of illness not death but illness so that's bad now all of you of course are ahead of me and you're saying well what has changed recently well that pandemic and those vaccinations so many of you have automatically go to the belief that the vaccinations is the problem and I ask you this question have you ever seen a study that compared the Baseline health of vaccinated people who never got covid vaccinate I'm sorry vaccinated people to uh unvaccinated people have you ever seen that well why haven't you seen that now what you're going to say is but Scott here's the thing that shows that the vaccinated got more got more Co okay fine but what about the excess deaths it does it seem unusual to you that the single most important question as far as I know there's no study to it never seen one the obvious thing to study is people have never been vaccinated compared to the past and see if they never vaccinated have a higher Baseline um of deaths now are you Blown Away by the fact that you're not aware of any study of that do you know what they study instead they'll do uh you know who got covid was vaccinated or unvaccinated they'll they'll also show you um the Baseline compared to now which includes the vaccinated and the unvaccinated you really need to separate that out now how many of you are having a moment here where you're saying wait a minute that is the most obvious thing to do look at unvaccinated people who never got covid because the co itself could be part of the long-term problems you don't know unvaccinated never got Co give me their Baseline if their Baseline is flat and there's no excess mortality well it's the shots am I right like what else would it be it's the shots if that if it's the only group that didn't see a difference in their Baseline mortality and nobody studied that ju Just hold that in your mind that you're not aware of any study of the only thing that would tell you the answer why is that can't get funded probably I'm guessing or nobody wants to know all right but until you have that study that would be very useful as opposed to the other studies that I consider muddy or terrible um I would say that we also have to look at the food supply I have a hypothesis without facts but my hypothesis is this when the pandemic hit it caused a lot of people to start using substitutes to get done what they needed to do they to find different suppliers for this or that do you think there's any chance that farmers changed out the chemistry that they're using for their products because it was a shortage in other words did they have to use a different fertilizer during the pandemic and maybe kept doing it did they have to use a different weed killer or more of it because of the pandemic was there anything that changed changed in the chemistry of our food supply because of the pandemic and the answer is who studied that I've never heard anybody look into it but uh we should we should certainly isolate for the shot by looking at unvaccinated which we haven't done and if we found that the uh if everybody had the same Baseline problems it's probably the food supply or a form of pollution or microplastics or something maybe even lifestyle because a lot of people had the lifestyle change after the pandemic so I wonder if loneliness could get you there all by itself I'm pretty sure if you if you studied lonely people they would have a much higher uh sickness rate would you agree and that becoming lonely um hurts your entire biology so much that I think it would give you a higher mortality rate and it would be pretty direct so one of the things to study would be loneliness because the pandemic did cause a a real big difference in how we interact with other people there are far fewer people who are you know Finding satisfying relationships and such so could be loneliness could be the food supply could be something in the environment like microplastics but it could be the shots what we know for sure is that the thing we call science is not trying to answer that question to hard is it no it's not all right ladies and gentlemen this is the uh the conclusion of my planned remarks is there any story I missed and when we're done I'm going to go privately to talk to the uh folks on locals to give them an after show I might have to close this stream if you're on locals right now if I close it I'll open up an after show stream it'll take me about 60 seconds to open up a new one um more Roundup being used somebody says um no but the fertilizer is generic but anything that we get from China would have possibly been a suspect so ask somebody in farming was there any big change in how Farmers farmed have you ever seen anybody ask that question because I think there was because there were big changes in the way everybody did everything why would farming be different they they must have had some shortages of something and substitutions they must have all right so just a hypothesis all right ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say byy on the platform of You.

Tube and Rumble and uh who else we got here uh locals and I'm going to open up a local stream because they're subscribers and they get a little extra thanks for joining another great coffee with Scots see you tomorrow

all right in one

minute we are

ready

back oh damn

it all right in one

minute so I put my phone on the off

button I turned off my computer

accidentally there we go there we

go

we have complaining we're starting with

complaining today all right so we won't

do the multiple streams we have too much

complaining good morning everybody and

welcome to the highlight of human

civilization it's call coffee with Scott

Adams and uh if you'd like to take this

experience up the levels that you can

hardly understand all you need for

that hold

on oh audio is good all you need for

that is a cuper mugar glass a tanker

chelin a canteen jugar flask a vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dope means the

day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens now

go well that's pretty good pretty

good

all right what do we got we got people

on Rumble and YouTube and streaming in

our locals what a show happy

Saturday

really I'm just looking at the

complaints to see if I'm going to turn

that turn off the

stream is it is it just complaints

today all right let's not do that well

Bill Mah is in the news uh because he

learned something

how would you like to be trending in the

news every Saturday morning because you

found out something that was

true that everybody else already

knew that that that's what it's like to

be uh Bill M so he's trending because he

made a comment that Trump had been found

guilty of rape and Nancy mace had to

inform him that never

happened it just didn't happen and Bill

Mars on live TV in front of his own

audience finding out that a core

Assumption of all of all liberals never

happened in the real world just never

happened so uh here's a b crazy

woman

update turns out that in a whole bunch

of countries there for young people

there's a huge difference between the

young women who are increasingly liberal

and the young men who are

increasingly um conservative there seems

to be a difference in Australia but that

might have more to do with their

definition of liberal and conservative

there but but apparently it's not just

America there's this huge divide what do

you think causes the

Divide um

well uh I think it's the news the news

is doing it that's some of it but I

think it's also that uh when things are

dangerous uh people tend to go to

gender

roles do you think that's true when when

everything's fine you can talk about you

know I'm not sure I'm the right gender

but if you're in

danger uh the men do the dangerous stuff

typically and the women do you know make

sure the food is good and everybody's

happy so people do uh Retreat to gender

roles of course every single person is

different there's no generalization that

applies to all

people um but we're going to see a

little bit more of that in the news

today mle crew drummer Tommy Lee is in

the news for threatening Trump

supporters said we're going to pay you

back so effing hard for all this s what

ex what exactly did the Trump supporters

do why is he going to pay us back

for for

what do you wonder that there's this

whole other

world that you don't know anything about

is there is there some World in which

I've done something wrong what did I do

wrong I'm not aware yeah yesterday I got

a message from a young man who said I

had

completely changed his

life like really

fundamentally um and in that case it was

actually there was a slmed slal

situation

now did I H

somebody because I hear all the time

from people I helped oh literally every

day somebody will contact me and say oh

this made a difference to me or this

helped me or I'm successful because I

use your trick or I'm healthier or I

quit drinking who who are the who are

the Trump supporters

hurting is there something don't know

about is there somebody out there doing

some bad stuff what's the payback for I

have no idea I really don't I just no

idea

anyway um what's going to happen when

you've got a robot in your

house and you commit a

crime are they going to be able to

subpoena your robot and will the robot

actually just

testify like actually get on the stand

and say

yes I was standing in the kitchen when I

saw him do the

crime I feel like there should be a law

that says your robot can't testify

against you or and you can't read its

mind mean meaning you can't download its

its

memories

and uh don't you think that's a good law

your robot should not be able to testify

against you otherwise I'm not going to

let it in the

house right cuz a robot is going to

remember your past interactions that's

what makes it useful if it didn't

remember what you did it wouldn't be a

great robot so if I've got something in

my house that's recording all of my

activities I'm not going to let that

thing in the house would you would you

let something into your house that

recorded all of your activities and it

could be subp

it that's the worst idea in the world no

so so I think that uh you know Tesla and

the other robot makers need to get

together

and agree that robots can't testify

against their

owners um

also what happens when the government

and the CIA say they need a back door to

your

robot so that the CIA is not just

downloading the robots memories after

the fact they're actually watching you

in real time because once they control

the robot from the back door they can

make the robot go look through your

stuff

couldn't they if you're not home could

your could our intelligence people take

over your robot and then tell it to

search through your drawers and find all

all your crimes look through your

computer you could tell it to steal the

password from from the owner couldn't

you because the the robot could just

observes the password being typed in

maybe hear it might be able to detect it

from the difference of the

keystrokes your your robot is going to

be the biggest security problem you've

ever had in your life there will be

nothing as insecure as your robot unless

there are some real laws that you you

prevent it I don't know if you could

prevent the CIA from getting in but be

nice and be good all right

uh it's going to be hard for you to keep

these in order

so you probably have a problem like I do

with the 91 counts against Trump and

these several venues and lawyers and how

many Soros black prosecutors are trying

to take him down because the stories all

seem to seem the same in your head well

this is happening with all the airplane

stories so I see a story today that says

justtin United Airlines Boeing 737 blah

blah blah loses a panel and I say to

myself is that the story I just

read or is that a second version or is

it the third panel the fellow how many

how many airplanes have fallen apart in

the sky in the last two weeks I can't

tell because I think I'm reading the

same story sometimes but sometimes it's

a different

story

well uh once again I would suggest to

United because uh it seems to be United

has a lot of planes in the news that

they change their slogan from fly United

to fly mostly United but sometimes

things fall off on the

way mostly United but sometimes things

fall off on the way that'd be a little

more fair all right it looks like the

National Association of Realtors has

some kind of settlement in which the 6%

House Commission will no longer be

automatic so you get to negotiate to

which I

said you couldn't negotiate

before what what do you mean you

couldn't

negotiate I I've negotiated that was I

not supposed to

was that illegal when I negotiated

my I thought that was legal so I first

learned about this uh commission problem

when I was trying to build my

house now uh back in

2008 and I tried to hire an

architect have you ever has everybody

tried to do this hire an

architect and I talked to the architect

and they seem qualified and good and I'd

say all right so what do you charge to

design my house and they'd say well it's

X percentage of the cost of your

house and I said wait what it's based on

a percentage of the cost of your

house the cost to build your house and I

said now let me see if I get this

straight the cost for you to design a

room that's 15 by 15 is going to be less

than the cost of you to design a room

that's 20 by 20

so just the fact that it's

larger I've got to pay $100,000

more

what because I'm sure that those are

just numbers you're putting on a page

you're not working harder you're just

putting a different number on there now

you know you could argue there's more

rooms and stuff like that but the point

is that when when a house cost

$100,000 Architects were getting a

percentage of the

100,000 which was probably a reason able

number when the when the architect was

doing exactly the same work but the cost

of the average house became 2 million

depending where you

live they would still get a

percentage and and nobody thought to

change that so so I just you know I just

rejected everybody who gave me that

business model and hired somebody who

did it for a flat

fee so I just negotiated it basically

and made it go away now it's the same

thing if you were buying or selling a

house if you weren't already negotiating

the broker's fee you could have I don't

I don't even know why this is the law

you could

have all right there's a very funny

story about uh Francis

mccrone now I didn't know this was

happening I guess I missed the beginning

of the story but uh Candace Owens said

in public now that she would better

career than French president Emanuel

macron's wife Bridget is a

man oh

God I love to wake up to a story like

that first of all it has no importance

in my world like it can't hurt me you

know if it's true or if it's false

doesn't really

matter but um and and I'm going to say

it seems unlikely this is true but

nothing's impossible I mean the the

actual story that we're supposed to

believe is pretty weird you know that he

was 15 years old and met his teacher

when she was 39 or something is that the

story and so it's not Stranger than

that but I don't think it's true I'd bet

against it but uh but I also haven't

looked into it so Candace says she's

looked into it and I guess there's some

alleged evidence of it so I won't say

that she's wrong because she looked into

it and I didn't so that has to be said

but on the surface it seems pretty

unlikely on the surface seems really

unlikely all

right but she would uh Candace would bet

her entire professional reputation on

the

fact you that's not

nothing at least at least she's

committing I love Candace Zs even when I

disagree with her on certain

topics uh she's just she's just a

wonderful

energy I just like everything she does

anyway um let's see he so actually Jake

Tapper had to ask MCR during an

interview about the about the

allegations that his wife is a

man now here's the funny part um he

didn't he didn't ask that question

specifically he didn't say you know

there's an allegation your wife is man

what he said was there's an allegation

that some of the maralago files included

uh included some information about

macron's sex

life

uh and and that Trump uh said at one

point that he had some you know shocking

information about macron's sex

life now do you think that these

shocking allegations are the the his

wife is a

[Laughter]

man I don't think so he's a French

leader with a an elderly wife he's a

young French leader with an elderly wife

what do you think the most likely rumors

about his sex life are most likely has

something to do with somebody other than

his wife I mean that would be the French

sort of

thing I will not rule out the Candace

Owen's hypothesis because as she said

she looked into it and saying that you

would stake your entire professional

reputation on it is quite a thing to

say so I I'm going to say maybe I'm I'm

going to give it a

maybe but probably not probably not all

right um however I will say that when uh

uh Jake Tapper asked macron about uh

information about his explosive

information about his sex life that mcon

looked really really worried in my

opinion now my opinion of how worried

somebody

looks is not exactly important but in my

opinion he looked pretty panicked by the

allegation now I imagine he'd be

panicked if it was just something like

an affair so so that doesn't mean his

wife's a

man but maybe

I just love the fact that it's possible

it's within the Poss it's it's within

the range of

possibility all right the post

Millennium and others are reporting that

laara Trump who's now the co-chair of

the RNC or is it chair I'm not sure um

is going to hire Scott presler to lead

its legal ballot

harvesting

now how ha if you're a trump supporter

how happy are you about that the Trump

supporters has been asking for that

specifically by name for a long time and

uh La Trump's going to make it happen so

here's what I think you're going to well

I'll tell you it's already forming is in

my imagination or is it obvious in a

whole bunch of different ways that Trump

really learned how to do this

stuff it doesn't seem like Trump learned

a lot from the first go round because

replacing the you know the of the

DNC with

Lara um although you know you get the

nepotism charges Etc she's already she's

already done the new CEO move you know

the new CEO move I talked about that a

lot in their first election the new CEO

move is when you go in and you

immediately do a popular or dramatic

thing that becomes your it becomes your

brand for the rest of the time you're in

the job the first first thing you do is

what people remember you for if it's big

and so the first thing she did was do a

very crowd-pleasing and smart thing

because Scott presler has definitely

shown that he's got all the skills and

the energy and he knows how to do this

so excellent and I think that uh

Republicans especially were panicked

that the the Republicans were not going

to do their own legal legal ballot

harvesting

so that's a big confidence Builder as a

crowd pleaser um it gives you confidence

that Trump picked the right person even

though she's a family member and it

gives you confidence that she knows what

she's doing because she did this quickly

and correctly real good everything about

this I like you don't get to tell those

stories a lot where everything about it

is good but uh look for more signs that

the Trump campaign and just his whole

game is just a whole bunch better than

it used to be because he's

learned all right here's a scary story

judge

napalitano said that uh let's see uh

right before Trump left office in 2021

judge Nano said um he asked uh Trump

about releasing the JFK assassination

files and Trump said

quote this is a reported quote so we

don't know if this is an exact quote but

reportedly said uh um judge if they

showed you what they showed me you

wouldn't have released it

either and I said who's they and what

did they show you and I guess that got

murky do you believe

that do you believe that Trump saw the

JFK assassination files and said oh God

now I know why you didn't show it to

anybody do you think that really

happened

I don't

know um I could imagine it happened now

that makes you speculate what is it that

that the public would not be able to see

so many years

later and I would say the obvious answer

is that it was an inside

job isn't that the obvious answer

because if it was an inside job then it

suggests that nothing's changed and they

could take out the president anytime

they

wanted so I'm going to say that the lack

of um producing it probably means

exactly what you think it

means probably means exactly what you

think it means yeah it might implicate

some famous people from our

past in a way that we couldn't survive

it this might actually be an existential

threat it it could reduce the trust in

the system I don't know why anybody

trusts the system at this point but

there are people who do and that could

be like the final blow to the any trust

in the system and that'd be

bad now here's the weirdest story in the

world apparently there's a Russia

election and Russia's new electronic

voting system the very same system that

Putin himself voted on uh got massively

hacked they

say so uh over 990,000 cyber attacks

reportedly traced back to Ukraine and

North America huh North America surprise

it it's almost as if America tries to

interfere in elections in other

countries

um now here's H some questions you might

ask why did Russia introduce electronic

voting machines that are connected to

the internet and therefore could be

hacked

Russia has electronic voting

machines attached to the internet

why is it because electronic voting

machines attached to the internet saves

you money big costs saver I've never

heard that um is it because it reduces

costs for ongoing

maintenance probably not is it because

you get faster results when you have

machines um no indication of that is it

because you can re reduce cheating with

machines um opposite so what would be

the reason that Russia has machines and

interestingly attached to the

internet can you think of any other

reason other than to make it easier for

a Putin to cheat and guarantee you w

what would be the other reason I mean

I'm open to another reason I you can't

conclude something from lack of reasons

I'm just saying that there is an

interesting lack of

reasons and I wonder if there was

anything we can learn from the Russia

situation that would apply to

us I wonder well here's an story about

the moms and dads taking charge when the

government

fails there's a group

called moms across

am.org and apparently somebody said they

do good work and do their do their

homework Etc but they they say Donuts

contains way too much of this thing

called

glyphosate which I believe is a weed

killer is that true is glyphosate a weed

killer I think it is but uh they're

saying that Dunkin Donut says too much

now again that's just a claim by this

group I can't know what's

true and they say it's like way more

dangerous than other foods and you

shouldn't start your day with a bunch of

glyphy they

say now regardless of whether this is

technically accurate or dangerous or not

that's those are questions I can't

answer um I am interested that there's a

group called moms Across America and

they're going out and doing something

that you would very much want your mom

to do which is make sure your food was

safe isn't that the most mom thing you

could ever do make sure the kids are

eating safe food so I love that at the

same time you're seeing a lot of

Internet dads trying to close the

border so that's sort of a dad job

security and uh you see David saxs and

other internet dads I'll call them

trying to end the Ukraine war trying to

talk that out of existence and that's a

dad job and my earlier comment was when

there's

danger people Retreat to gender roles

because that's their greatest truth

right right you know you you can have

the luxury of playing around with stuff

when you're not in danger but as soon as

there's danger people just go right to

gender roles now again like everything I

say that's a generality it does not

apply to every single person because

every person is infinitely unique but

there are some generalities which are

worth

noting so here's a perfect example the

uh moms are going after the quality of

the food as they should the dads are

going after let's stop this war and

close the border

as they

should

so so at least that part's working out

at least even if politics is broken you

know what's not broken mom and dad mom

and dad's still not

broken it's I I would argue that now Mom

and

Dad is uh the most important for us in

the country because the ones holding it

together Against All Odds

well uh Elliot

page you know Elliot page um actor ellot

page who was once an

actress uh but I think I'm dead naming

her old job or something by saying

actress is now an actor named Elliot

pagee and uh his NBC news reports that

Elliott is taking aim at the notion that

queer films only have a small audience

saying that 30% of young people identify

as

lgbtq so ellot says so I'm sorry but

this is not a

niche 30% of young people identify as

lgbtq what do you think caused

that what do you think caused that was

it the chemicals in the water that are

making the frogs

gay was it

that was it oh I don't

know watching too many Disney movies

was it Tik

Tock probably Tik Tok probably Tik Tok

more than anything else you want to make

a bet I'll make you a

bet that the percentage of this 30% who

claim to be part of LGBT I'll bet you

nearly 100% of them use Tech Tok and

I'll bet you that in the group that has

um more less say Baseline traditional

percentage that how about they don't use

um Tik Tok as much you want a bet

anybody want to put a bet on that easy

to

test I think you'd find a strong

correlation between how much Tik Tok you

watch and you know maybe has more to do

with what content you're consuming but

uh yeah Tik Tok is probably changing 20%

of young people uh is changing their

sexual

preference now if you had never studied

persuasion or

or hypnosis you'd say to yourself Scot

Scot Scot you can't use

persuasion to turn somebody gay or you

can't use persuasion to change

somebody's complete gender

identity can you yeah you can it's

pretty easy R yep in fact the younger

you go down in age the easier it is by

the time you got to kindergarten you

could change all of them you could

change every one of them give give me a

kindergarten CL well this sounds

terrible so don't make this me let's uh

take some good Persuader give them a

Kindergarten class and one

year it could change all the genders of

the kindergarteners in their minds they

would all think there with a different

gender does anybody think that that

couldn't be done to change 100% of the

genders in a Kindergarten class if you

had a year to work on

it yes yes you could actually do 100%

now you move it up to a high school move

it up to high school how many of their

genders and sexual preferences could you

change which just

persuasion well it's harder but

30% at least

30% so that's just about right how about

when you get to become a senior

citizen how many senior citizens have

changed their genders even if there's a

lot of

persuasion almost none

almost none right it'd be

1% so yeah Tik Tock and uh teenagers is

a really really bad

combination and I would say there's

probably a direct line between Tik Tok

and the

increase now have you noticed nobody

studied

that isn't that like a really obvious

thing to do a study on hey the

percentage of lgbtq is going through the

roof and uh Tik Tock seems to be where

they get most of their

news it seems pretty obvious right now I

I would also say it could be in the food

it absolutely could be in the food

supply you know there could be some damn

thing that we don't know like

microplastics and glac of fate and who

knows what that is actually changing

people's chem chemistry and that might

actually change your opinion of your

sexuality so it could be something like

that but I would certainly be studying

Tik Tock it's because it's the most

obvious all right um here's how you know

that the tick tock Banning bill is a

fake Trojan

Horse um first of all it is a Tik Tock

specific

ban and when the representatives say but

you don't understand it's Tik Tock

specific it's not going to apply to

other places it does say TiK ToK by name

but there is a place where it says that

it could apply to some other unnamed

platform in the future if it was also

influenced by an adversary for an

adversary but anybody with IQ over 80

can see that that's really opening the

door for the government to say oh Elon

it looks like because you sell a lot of

electric cars and you depend on Chinese

manufacturing for your batteries or

whatnot it looks like they're

influencing you no they're not there's

no evidence that they're influencing me

well yes there is let's do a let's do a

survey of your outcomes on uh on X oh

look there's a whole bunch of accounts

that seem to be pushing Chinese

propaganda and I'll bet you knew about

it and you could have done more to stop

them now doesn't mean he knew about them

doesn't mean he could have stopped them

doesn't even mean the data is real but

do you see how easy it would be for the

government to put x on a business if

this becomes

law just trivially easy now I know what

you going to say but but but the lawyers

and smart people have looked at that

language and they've said no that that

language couldn't be

abused take it out just take it out

there's your tell the fact that that

language is a problem and it would be as

easy as lining it out with a pencil to

get rid of the the problematic part

because if you just make it about Tik

Tok you've got wide agreement if you if

you throw in that Trojan Horse part you

don't so why won't they take it out

there's only one reason that's in there

it's either intentionally to kill the

bill in other words it's a poison pill

or if it got approved it would be a way

to take out X well do you know why this

got bipartison support let me tell you

because the Republicans are apparently

stupid

sorry and the Democrats are trying to

sneak one past the keeper that's what it

looks like to me so the Democrats said

yes because they know it's a trick and

the Republicans said yes because they

don't know it's a trick I think that's

the story because you can see the

Republicans talking about it like they

don't know it's a

trick that's what it looks like so I

can't think of any other reason you can

get 100% bipartisan support unless one

side knew it was a trick that's the only

way you can do it and sure enough here's

the other uh so the two tells that this

is not genuine is one that they put that

they put any language in there that

would apply to another American company

down the road the fact that that's in

there at all tells you something doesn't

it and then the the second part is that

the people talking about the bill

pretend it's not in there they they just

pretend it's not

there

what that's Republicans they're

pretending it's not there so they're

either in on

it or they haven't read it or they're

working with the intelligence people to

get control of the

platform

and uh everything the Republicans who

are for it and against it are saying

doesn't appear to be true or smart or

typical to their own past

in other words we're seeing very clearly

very smart people doing things that are

either un sound uninformed or

dumb way more on this topic than I've

ever seen on any other

topic so yeah every there's something

dicey about this so I'd say that

uh uh Tik Tok is

bad but it could also be true that the

bill to ban Tik Tok is just as bad just

in a different way and it could be also

bad that Congress is worse than Tik Tok

and worse than the

bill now let me ask you a question to

check your internet

memories and this might blow you away a

little bit so you you might want to put

a c build on your

brain um to the best of your knowledge

who was the first public figure doesn't

have to be a politician but a public

figure to call for the ban on Tik Tok in

the

comments who who's the first public

figure to call for a ban on Tik Tok well

some of you are probably going to your

search engines to look for

it and if you Googled it or used Gro or

used uh gemini or chat

GPT do you know what it would tell you

it would tell you that the first person

who talked about it Banning it was

Donald

Trump or or Josh how Howley Josh

Holly do you know what do you know what

the real answer

is the real answer is me in December of

2020 so that's when I started talking

about it and continued talking about it

since then so if you can find a source

before February of

2020 then I'll say oh I guess somebody

got there first but if you can't find

that source and it's really hard to find

it by the way it took a team of people

and thank you Owen for finally finding

that to

confirm so here here's what's happening

I'm not telling you this so I can get

your credit although that's cool too I

like credit I I do like to be recognized

for getting something right we all do so

that's that's not nothing but there's a

bigger point to this you're watching

history being Rewritten

wrong in your

lifetime think about the nature of this

story this story is being

told completely wrong and those of you

who live through it are completely aware

of it and it's being

recorded as a complete fake history

while you're alive and while you're

watching it in real time and and do you

know I've noticed this with other

searches I did one this morning that was

very clearly uh showed that these search

engines have become

useless

so there are probably other examples and

you could come up with them in which

you're watching in real time as the

history of the world is completely fake

and it's going into the history books

it's not like the first time there's a

lot of them right

and I posted this on

yesterday do you remember it used to be

a generally accepted statement that

Winners write

history you all you all believe that's

true right the winners get the right

history because if there's a big war or

you take over the country or something

you get to write your own

history somewhere along the line that

stopped we now have a situation where

only

losers right

history like actually the biggest losers

in societ are are reporters and the

history teachers who believe that the

reporters were

true so we actually have a complete

reversal we have a situation where the

losers are writing history and and it's

no more true than when the winners write

it when the winners write history is

fake but when the losers write it it's

just fake a different way but still all

fake so all of our history is fake

that's confirmed I saw that Elon

you know boosted my message that history

is

fake anyway um fonnie Willis so there's

a result there I guess the judge said

after all the testimony about fonnie

hiring her boyfriend Wade uh to uh

prosecute Trump that uh that was too

much of a appearance of conflict of

interest and so either she had to get

off the case said the judge or the

boyfriend had to be fired so the

boyfriend quit so they didn't have to go

through the indignity of being

fired um but we I I I think we assume he

had to be fired so quitting just saved

him some ego but I so I guess fonnie

will still be on the case so the evil

lying bigot remains and Wade

who the the poor Wade it was just maybe

over his headed in the job probably was

just trying to do his job I'm guess

but anyway um I'm very happy about this

result now it's bad for Trump

obviously but I love the fact that we

don't have to guess if the legal system

is

rigged leaving her on the case is just

such a glaring obvious confirmation that

the legal system isn't even trying this

is not even trying come on people so I

think even Democrats can start to notice

when when you leave her on the

case I think they

noticed I also love that

uh that that the Democrats keep trotting

Biden out and telling us that he's

perfectly

fine now that's funny it It's become

completely Monty pythonesque yeah so I

mean he'll be we're about three months

away from Biden literally being you know

a piece Driftwood that's

like you know he won't be able to talk

or move and they're going to they're

going to point to him and say he looks

fine to me and you'll say but he can't

even talk or

move and then they'll say he looks good

to me what are you some

Mega kind of crazy person perfectly fine

no he can't speak he uh he's he's

wetting his pants right now no he's not

and besides Trump does twice as bad

things no but okay now I think he's dead

I I I I I he's not

breathing he's breathing he's breathing

fine he breathes twice as much as any of

us we can't even keep up with his

breathing I swear that's rigor mortis

I'm seeing rigor mortis set in right in

front of me we checked his pulse he is

very very

dead

he's dead are you kidding me have you

seen Trump

lately oh my God everything everything

with you magga people is about Biden

Biden Biden but look at your guy look at

your guy he forgot a name

once I know he forgot some names

sometimes we all do that but he's

literally dead he's literally in rigor

Morse we can smell him now his his

bowels have

emptied

I you're crazy you magga people he is

more capable than anybody on the staff

in fact we just can't keep up with

them now I enjoy that

show if you're going to go Full Monty

Python I'm down for that let's do more

of

that yep let's

pretend everything that is ridiculous is

true all right here's my favorite fake

story of the day uh there's a fake story

that I think it's in the New York Post

that uh Don Lemon demanded from Elon a

cyber truck and or to be on the

xplatform and some kind of a you know

Arrangement uh they report that Don

Lemon demanded a cyber truck $5 million

signing bonus $8 million salary a $15

million marketing budget private Jeff

flights pay for his massages in Vegas

executive assistance and equity and X oh

and also control over news

policy on

X now do you know what the source for

that

is for a story like that you'd want a

pretty Solid Source would you you know

what the source

is the New York Post has

learned so you good are are you happy

with that Source the New York Post has

learned no none of this is true none of

this is true how many of you believe

this

story did any of you believe

this they say a document that they

haven't showed you well the agent said

that 100% of it is

false let me give you a tip about

liars Liars don't talk that

way right the agent knows the truth cuz

the agent would be negotiating if the

agent had said don't believe everything

you read I would say oh must be a lot of

that's true if the agent had

said

um there's only one source for that I

would have said oh but you didn't say

it's

false if they had said uh it was a first

draft I would have said oh so it's a

little bit true you're saying there are

a million things that the agent could

have said where I would have said hm I'm

not sure that's quite the denial it

needs to be but here's what a real

denial looks like it's 100% false every

part of

it that's a that's a good

denial if I could ever teach you to deny

deny 100% of it

otherwise it's a little bit true right

so between the fact that the source is

Don Lemon has a lot of enemies

the claim itself is on its uh you know

on its face is ridiculous that didn't

happen and the agent says it's 100%

false I'm backing Don Lemon on this

story 100% I could be wrong yeah I could

be wrong because we're doing a little

mind reading here but everything about

this story say

fake but we want to believe it don't we

don't you want to believe it come on you

ought to believe it that's why it's so

good if it's a prank which it looks like

it's a really good one a good prank the

the key to a good prank is not just that

they fooled you that's not a prank

fooling you is not a prank a good prank

is when they fool you in the thing that

you were ready to believe you were

already primed to believe it do you see

how perfect this is as a prank you were

primed to believe that Don Lemon is

crazy and asking for stuff that's

ridiculous now he might have asked for a

lot that's how negotiations

work but no none of this sounds real to

me all right uh there's another report

that there's some kind of uh nervous

system problems have become the biggest

health problem even bigger than heart

disease so there's something we don't

know that's suddenly affecting nervous

systems something there's something that

happened a few years ago that apparently

is having a huge impact on the

population in general something and U

it's causing strokes and migraines and

dementia and those problems have surged

Past heart disease to become the leading

cause of illness not death but

illness so that's

bad now all of you of course are ahead

of me and you're saying well what has

changed recently well that pandemic and

those vaccinations so many of you have

automatically go to the belief that the

vaccinations is the

problem and I ask you this

question have you ever seen

a study that compared the Baseline

health of vaccinated people who never

got

covid vaccinate I'm sorry vaccinated

people to uh unvaccinated people have

you ever seen

that well why haven't you seen that now

what you're going to say is but Scott

here's the thing that shows that the

vaccinated got more got more Co okay

fine but what about the excess

deaths it does it seem unusual to you

that the single most important

question as far as I know there's no

study to it never seen one the obvious

thing to

study is people have never been

vaccinated compared to the past and see

if they never vaccinated have a higher

Baseline um of

deaths now are you Blown Away by the

fact that you're not aware of any study

of

that do you know what they study

instead they'll do uh you know who got

covid was vaccinated or unvaccinated

they'll they'll also show you um the

Baseline compared to

now which includes the vaccinated and

the

unvaccinated you really need to separate

that out now how many of you are having

a moment here where you're saying wait a

minute that is the most obvious thing to

do look at unvaccinated people who never

got covid because the co itself could be

part of the long-term problems you don't

know

unvaccinated never got Co give me their

Baseline

if their Baseline is flat and there's no

excess

mortality well it's the shots am I right

like what else would it be it's the

shots if that if it's the only group

that didn't see a difference in their

Baseline mortality and nobody studied

that ju Just hold that in your mind that

you're not aware of any study of the

only thing that would tell you the

answer why is

that can't get funded probably

I'm guessing or nobody wants to know all

right but until you have that study that

would be very useful as opposed to the

other studies that I consider muddy or

terrible um I would say that we also

have to look at the food supply I have a

hypothesis without facts but my

hypothesis is

this when the pandemic hit it caused a

lot of people to start using substitutes

to get done what they needed to do they

to find different suppliers for this or

that do you think there's any chance

that farmers changed out the chemistry

that they're

using for their products because it was

a shortage in other words did they have

to use a different fertilizer during the

pandemic and maybe kept doing it did

they have to use a different weed killer

or more of it because of the pandemic

was there anything that changed

changed in the chemistry of our food

supply because of the

pandemic and the answer is who studied

that I've never heard anybody look into

it but uh we should we should certainly

isolate for the shot by looking at

unvaccinated which we haven't done and

if we found that the uh if everybody had

the same Baseline

problems it's probably the food supply

or a form of pollution or microplastics

or something maybe even lifestyle

because a lot of people had the

lifestyle change after the

pandemic so I wonder if loneliness could

get you there all by

itself I'm pretty sure if you if you

studied lonely people they would have a

much higher uh sickness rate would you

agree and that becoming lonely um hurts

your entire biology so much

that I think it would give you a higher

mortality rate and it would be pretty

direct so one of the things to study

would be loneliness because the pandemic

did cause a a real big difference in how

we interact with other people there are

far fewer people who are you know

Finding satisfying relationships and

such so could be loneliness could be the

food supply could be something in the

environment like microplastics but it

could be the

shots what we know for sure is that the

thing we call science is not trying to

answer that question to hard is

it no it's not all right ladies and

gentlemen this is the

uh the conclusion of my planned remarks

is there any story I

missed and when we're done I'm going to

go privately to talk to the uh folks on

locals to give them an after show I

might have to close this stream if

you're on locals right now if I close it

I'll open up an after show stream it'll

take me about 60 seconds to open up a

new one

um more Roundup being used somebody

says

um no but the fertilizer is generic but

anything that we get from China would

have possibly been a

suspect so ask somebody in

farming was there any big change in how

Farmers farmed

have you ever seen anybody ask that

question because I think there was

because there were big changes in the

way everybody did everything why would

farming be different they they must have

had some shortages of something and

substitutions they must

have all right so just a

hypothesis all right ladies and

gentlemen I'm going to say byy on the

platform of YouTube and Rumble

and uh who else we got here uh

locals and I'm going to open up a local

stream because they're subscribers and

they get a little extra thanks for

joining another great coffee with Scots

see you

tomorrow
