Episode 2444 CWSA 04/14/24

well I think I sto long enough how would you like to have a show good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called coffee with Scott Adams the best time you've ever had and today we've got a special show for you what makes it special nothing it's just awesome like always if you'd like to take your experience up to a level that a human brain can barely comprehend all you need for that is a coverer marer glass a tanker chal or a Canen Jugger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go so so good good well let's jump right into the news by the way if you're not watching Dilbert reborn only available by subscription on the xplatform or Scott adams.

locals.com where you get the comic plus a lot more you would not know that Dave the engineer is complaining about racism in the office I'm not going to tell you anymore but it doesn't go the way you expected I am so happy having my creative freedom to actually do actual real topics that real people are experiencing in the real workplace oh my goodness it's just delightful anyway that's it's one of the funniest things I've ever written in my life and uh if you subscribe you could see it and by the way for the locals people I took the uh subscription wall down so if anybody locals wants to share that one that one's available for sharing well here's some news a Chinese study says that approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased their land mass over two decades disproving climate change alarms oh well that's kind of awkward isn't it 13,000 Islands got bigger that's a lot of islands now let me tell you the little bit that I know about the sea level the little bit I know the little bit I know is that sea level doesn't change everywhere the same way because the land mass itself sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down and uh heat as I understand it will increase your volume of water so the warmer places might look a little higher unless they cool off Etc so you got a lot of moving parts but apparently climate change has been debunked as uh one of the causes of rising sea level because uh CO2 is up but the sea level is not now you do know that there are two completely different movies on climate change right I can see here all day long and tell you about studies that prove it doesn't exist but you could change the channel to the other channel where all the studies proven exists you know that exists right it doesn't matter how many times I tell you there's a study that says it totally doesn't exist there will be one that says it does coming out at the same time which one is true well let's get back to the the basics how what percentage of studies in general are true just about anything any any scientific study what are the odds is true 50% because they've studied papers and they know that it's about 50% half the time they're wrong now is climate change a binary binary meaning it's either happening or it's not happening right because if it's happening you know we're not talking about it's too slow or anything it's it's either happening a lot and it's really dangerous or maybe it's not happening now if you've got a binary where it could be happening or not happening yes or no and you've got a new paper has a 50% chance of being right and a 50% chance of being wrong what have you learned by the new paper nothing nothing it's a coin flip I could have come to you and said hey let's flip a coin to see if climate change is real it would be exactly as useful as this new study about these islands exactly as useful meaning not it has has no no information value whatsoever it's a 50/50 it's a coin flip now uh some of you should be quick to jump on and say but Scott let me science plain you is there anybody here who wants to science plain me you know telling me the things that literally everybody already knows as if I'm the only person who doesn't know it okay I'm going to science plain myself as if I'm my critic Scott don't you understand how science works it's not about one study it's about you know reproducing studies and moving toward the truth slowly over time sometimes we make mistakes but we're moving toward the truth in a directional kind of way Scott don't you understand that these studies don't mean anything individually you have to look at them collectively with all your knowledge and things science splaining there you go so to me it looks like all the uh the forces of nature are moving in the direction of proving that Trump was right and that climate change was always just just in time for the election is it my imagination or have we been hearing a lot less about climate change than one would expect going into an election huh why would we hear less about climate change going into an election where the choice of presidents could make the difference between surviving as a species and not surviving how can we ignore such a gigantic existential risk unless the people pushing it are no longer as confident because as I told you yesterday the entire public reason for climate change is dissolved the the public argument is that all the scientists are on the same same side like we're not scientists so how would we know but if all the scientists let's say 97% if they're all on one side they tell us well that must be pretty scientifically accurate with all those people of course the pandemic and you know the the the 51 people on the laptop and all that and all of our experience lately of our captured experts Etc have largely proved that the number of people on one side means absolutely nothing because you can get a whole bunch of people to agree to just about anything as long as their paycheck depends on it if you make their paycheck depend on it they'll tell you anything they want what do you what do you want to hear I'll tell you just pay me so I think uh the climate change arguments just falling apart like crazy over in Japan let's talk about some more fake news there a Japan study that says that the cancer spikes after your third dose of covid uh mRNA vaccine specifically how many of you believe that is true because it has been determined by a Japanese study big big difference in cancer after your third dose sound real to you well science come on must be real well let's check in the alternate story over on uh USA Today they had a fact check from just one month ago now it's I this is before the Japanese study but one month ago um USA Today said there is no evidence that covid-19 vaccines cause cancer or are associated with a greater risk of developing cancer experts say there's no evidence of it so that means it's true right it's true that there's no correlation because there's no evidence of it there's also no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged because no courts have found it to be true yeah no court found any rigging in 2020 and also there's no evidence that the shots cause cancer do you see the trick everybody the trick no evidence is really different from saying it doesn't happen do you see that no evidence means we don't know no evidence means we don't know here's what it didn't say many uh controlled highquality Studies have been performed and they' determined there's no signal for extra cancer now that would be a good answer wouldn't it multiple repeated gold standard you know uh randomized control tests and every time we do the test we just keep repeating this test and the last five times we didn't find a a signal at all and by the way the tests were all funded by independent people not Pharma companies now that would mean something wouldn't it but if you tell me that there's no evidence do you know what my first inclination is is there no evidence because nobody funded an expensive trial to look for it whose job would it be to fund the trial to look for the cancer I don't know and if somebody did fund a trial and it didn't find any cancer wouldn't you ask them questions about who funded the trial because it sounds like something big Pharma might do except I think big Pharma just doesn't bother doing the long-term studies because they don't have to there was a time when I believed that the people who made the vaccinations would track people's health over time to make sure that Not only was it safe the first year they got it but if it would remain safe for you know 10 20 years that's what I thought you know that doesn't happen right I'm pretty sure nobody's checking after a certain amount of time like if he didn't die in the first year or they didn't see any extra deaths and any whatever study they did they don't really follow up do they does anybody know the answer to that but I'm pretty sure there's no followup you just assume that there is like me you assume that well that's the most natural thing you would just track a bunch of people who took it just track him every year ask him what their situation is compared to the norm and no no I don't believe that happens so do we believe the Japanese study that found a strong correlation I don't I don't believe it at all no I'm not saying it's wrong and I'm not saying that the shots are completely safe I wouldn't know I'm just saying that this is like having no information at all so the fact check is completely worthless this was a month ago completely worthless because it said no evidence no evidence is completely different from saying yeah we checked it and it's not there no evidence means we didn't check right I'm not wrong about that am I no evidence means we didn't check if they had checked they would have said all the studies say it's not there but no evidence says we didn't check I'm pretty sure that's what that means but again you've got a study and uh 50/50 chances wrong because it's a study so at best it's a coin flip again the vaccinations were either going to be good for you or not it's binary studies are either right or wrong and half the time they're wrong it's just another coin flip it didn't tell you anything but how many of you saw that uh that researcher guy John somebody who's always the one telling you all the studies are going you know the CO's going to kill you it's always that same guy like it doesn't really get out of his domain too much so I don't know I'm worried about the uh health risks but um I would say it's short of being proven it might be could be proven someday neuralink brain chip could give users orgasms on demand so the star is reporting that the neurolink could give or uh orgasms on command you know hypnotists can do that too that's right have a disc can do that you don't need neuralink for that all right but that's a a lot of people are going to buy that neuralink if you just sit around giving yourself orgasms um anyway so Cheryl ainson has a new video out she's interviewing some doctors or doctor and we're learning that medical schools are just the medical schools are just terrible apparently the medical schools teach you less that are compatible with what big Pharma and the junk food industry wants you to hear wants them to do I I me just think about the fact that your doctor is being trained by big Pharma and big food and big farm and big food are the things you're the most worried about big food especially now I don't know the connection between junk food and medical school except maybe there's some kind of funding thing going on I don't know but uh no your doctor and I guess doctors confirm this doctors have gone through the system will tell you that they're not getting the right Ed education there's some kind of money bias built into their education great great well the uh there's a new software that's like similar to The Star Trek holc that can create all these virtual world s that didn't exist before so you can say give me a bar scene or we're outdoors and it just creates that world now I guess they're using it to train AI so you use one AI to create worlds and then a second IDE AI to look at that world and you know learn from it as if it had been a real world but here's what I say we're getting closer and closer to removing all doubt that we are simulation you all see that right the the the path toward realizing where a simulation is so clear at this point every time a new thing comes out it's all in the same direction now here's what this is going to do once you realize that AI can create a a environment on demand the next thing you're going to see is that you can take a walk through it so for example you you can say I'm in a house and then the house will be there perfectly and then every time you need to go into another room not until not until you need it the room will form before you see it so when you reach for the door knob for the first time the software will build the room behind the door because it didn't need to do it until then so it'll do it on demand because it's not going to create the universe in case you go everywhere in the universe it's going to give you what you need as you need it and then when you walk outside maybe for the first time the outdoors will be created you know where you can see it and as you walk through the forest the forest would be created ahead of it so you keep seeing things once you've experienced that all doubt will be removed about whether you live in a simulation because that's your actual experience and specifically it's going to teach you that history is created by the present it doesn't work the other way let me give you that example you're in the video game and until you open the door there's nothing behind it but as you turn the knob in your virtual reality and open it the computer gives you the room once you open that room it's not just that it's there at the moment but its history was created too in other words if there's some furniture in the room there's an implied history this something delivered the furniture to the room so you're going to experience in the virtual realm that the impression of history is being created by things you're seeing in the moment and then you're going to look at the double slit experiment and shinger Cat and I I get that they work at the quantum level and not at the big person level but still it's going to be proof to you that the past is generated by the present one once you realize that you know we're in a simulation and everything's heading in that direction it's going to be obvious and probably less than a year we it will be generally assumed that we're a simulation all right um there's a story about a guy who's spending 10,000 per month on AI girlfriends and just like dating apps he has more than one so he's got one app for this girlfriend one app for the other one and apparently the uh the man who can afford it I guess it's a man who's got some money and he's single so he's got some extra money and he says it's great it's completely working and is satisfying now add that to the holc and I'm pretty sure human reproduction is going to come to a screaming end really quickly really quickly but here's the thing I wonder in the the old old days when humans were more like animals was it true that everybody got to reproduce or is that just a modern thing where you know it doesn't matter how you rank in the hierarchy of your tribe you all get to reproduce now what happens if in the virtual world the people who were maybe not so competitive for reproducing they just take a pass they go all right we won't ruce we'll just watch video games and you know play out the rest of our simulation will that cause everybody to not reproduce or will it make the billionaires reproduce like crazy you know that Elon Musk model where he can just have as many babies as he wants you can just keep doing it because there's no real limit on him so are we going to go back to a situation where the most capable are having all the babies and is that bad for us or good for us I don't know I mean if the people who are taking out at the reproduction cycle are completely happy about it let's say the men I don't know about the women but if the men are happy about it are they worse off because they didn't really have this great marriage option anyway so they have this great virtual reality option maybe it's better but then the people who can afford it and are really bringing some some you know powerful DNA to the mix because they're smart or strong or handsome or tall or whatever it is they still will probably be mating like crazy so we might we might end up you know changing the gene pool of humanity by simply making it impractical for the the people on the struggling end of things to reproduce and they might be just as happy not reproduce it no no nothing is predictable but get your AI girlfriend uh what are the happiest cities there's another study that showed the rank the happiest cities and uh cities from 33 States made the list that means that the rest of the states had not a single city that was one of the happiest ones California had the most California had 16 of the happiest uh cities in Florida 12 what's that tell you it's the weather the first decision I made upon graduating college in Upstate New York was why would I live in this weather when I could live in good weather because at the time you know I was a free agent it was after college I could go where I wanted so I went to California because Florida is a little bit muggy but I guess they're still happy there and uh sure enough Cali orans got their legal weed and they got their good weather and you can screw up just about everything else and that still works now do you think that do you think that sun makes a difference who gets the most Sun Hawaii California Florida what what are the happiest states Hawaii California Florida how how many how many data points you need to see to get in the freaking Sun I mean it couldn't be more obvious we went through the pandemic and it's like get in the sun vitamin D vitamin D vitamin D vitamin D vitamin D get in the Sun and then you do the happiest cities sunny sunny sunny are you getting the message yet it really is pretty simple get some sun get Outdoors there's no way that these are coincidences guess of something all right um NPR oh Dr.

Phil crushed a Dei advocate so Dr.

Phil had somebody who was arguing some badshit crazy woman who is uh and she looked bad crazy I'm I'm just judging from she just looked at mean she had that that bad she had crazy eyes and stuff and uh he got heard to say that Dei was about equal outcomes and then he mocked that end of existence because equal outcomes is what stupid people want it's not a real thing you can't really have equal outcomes and as Dr.

Phil explained it well you got a wall and you got short people who can't see over it and tall people who can are you going to fix that you know sort of his metaphor for everything else and here's my take Dei is not a philosophical difference I'm going to say this over and over until you all agree the only philosophical difference between the left and the right is abortion everything else is smart versus stupid or you know somebody selfishly wants more money that's it and Dei is just stupid there's nobody Smart in favor of di can I say that there's nobody Smart in favor of it at least and when I say there's nobody Smart in favor of it I mean that the smarter people who pretend to be in favor of It Let's Take Your Mark Cubans for example smart unambiguously smart person says in public he's in favor of it this stuff is not real all right he's in favor of it if you define it differently as in not equality of outcomes so the people who say they're in favor are playing the game where they pretend it's something it isn't or they have to say it because of their company or that you know there's just some pressure they have to say it there's no smart person who in a room alone says Dei is a good idea not a black person not a white person not a woman not a man there's no adult none none there are zero smart people who think de is a good idea if you define it properly as outcomes being equal none there's not one there's not a single smart person in the whole world who in a private conversation with you if they're not lying and they know that you're not going to have there's not a single person not one who's smart and in favor of Dei can we just say that out loud this has nothing to do with philosophy has nothing to do with what's good for people it's stupid versus smart and you know there's a layer of grifting on top of it that keeps it all going you and people make money from it so it's sort of self-perpetuating but to imagine this is a philosophical difference I'm not going to play that any more I can't pretend that's Phil a philosophical difference it's stupidity speaking of stupidity NPR continues to humiliate itself and Jonathan Charley is happy to mock them for it in his latest article anyway uh the new the NPR not new but the NPR CEO Katherine marer ah okay uh I'd love to see a picture of her I just have a theory about what her eyes probably look like but I'm I'm just guessing here I haven't seen a picture of her maybe and of I know 80 some and and uh NPR is not even really pretending to be any kind of an independent news Outlet is just a lefty organ so once once somebody who really did know what's happening you know not somebody guessing somebody was in the middle of the belly of the beast called them out for what they really are what did the CEO do did the CEO say those are some good criticisms we'd better re-examine how we do business and you're right we need some diversity of thought because oh I guess I got it right somebody just put her picture there God oh God yeah okay U anyway um and she said that uh what so what she did instead of saying that NPR is broken and biased and they need to fix it to get credibility With Their audience uh she said that the guy who adored them is profoundly disrespectful hurtful and demeaning uh and calling out his colleagues like that was just not right that's right she attacked The Whistleblower she attacked The Whistleblower I don't know if there's any way you can make that any worse yeah let's on the white guy that that's that's the way to play this now may I say again that whatever was happening at NPR if you say the NPR had a philosophical argument and that's that's why they act the way they are it's based on the philosophy it's not based on the philosophy these are batshit crazy people they're batshit crazy they're clearly suffering from TDS because remember all happened from you know the Trump time on it got worse no this is this is mental health and to imagine this is anything but B oh my God you the locals people not everybody can do this but the locals people can include uh images they're showing me images of the NPR CEO it's exactly what you think it is that that's perfect all right so uh I saw a post by Tom Elliott on the xplatform and it was an MSNBC clip of somebody doing something now I'm not even going to tell you what it was about because it's not relevant here's the funny story if you're on the xplatform and somebody uh reposts a clip from MSNBC and they don't put a comment on it they they don't put their own comment it's just take look at this it's always for humor have you noticed that that the right actually uses MSNBC no joke this is not hyperbole we use it like Saturday Night Live with no comments needed so I was looking at one today and you know as soon as I saw it was reposted I knew it was for comedy I knew it had nothing to do with their philosophy or their difference of opinion in fact I don't even remember what it was about I just remember it was funny because I got to see some batshit crazy people uh and talking and if you see batshit crazy people and I've said this before but once you see it it's hilarious if you're only watching somebody crazy it's disturbing that's not funny Would you agree you see somebody who's in mental distress that's not funny like there's no way you can make that funny the only way it can be funny is when it's combined with smugness and that's what MSNBC does they combine it with these smugness that they're right and when you add the mental illness to the smugness I can't stop watching it honestly I I just want to watch you know Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel madow with her smug smile well let me see if I can do an impression of being crazy and smug at the same time what well I don't think a lot of Republicans understand that oil doesn't even need to be drilled for it's free it's all over the place it's on the ground I've got oil in my pocket and I guess if you're a republican you think you have to drill holes in the ground for it am I right people they're out there like drilling holes in the ground oh oh smugly I'm so smug oil's free oil's free people it's laying all over the place in fact if you go in your car you could go in your car and it's full of oil does anybody say that no no does Trump ever mention that there's oil right there in your car no he needs to start a war to go looks for some oil like a dictator that's how a dictator does they start a war to look for oil but they don't need to CU your cars has oil right in it if you don't believe me open the hood there's a little round thing you can take that out and then there's a stick in it it's called the dip stick just like President Trump am I right dipstick who well isn't that a coincidence yeah I think that's enough of smug Scott and MSNBC well Julian Assange of course we're going to talk about Iran and and Israel of course we are of course we are but it's the most boring War ever so far so it didn't even get in the top 10 stories today Israel Iran you're going to need something a little more you know a little more Sizzle oh we had a war today nobody was killed really and that's supposed to impress me he had a war with nobody killed we'll get to it we'll get to it it's just a boring War it's going to be it's coming up Julian Assange warned us a while ago that the the goal of war is never to end the war and it's never to win it's to drain money out of the pockets of the citizens and put it in the pockets of the powerful people is Julian Assange wrong that the real purpose of War is to transfer your money to the rich people who already have a lot he's not wrong it's not the only thing happening but he's not wrong meaning that it does in fact do that and those powerful people have more control over whether we go to war than you do so it's sort of right it's not the whole story what are you showing me here I'm going to look at this uh the bright side is world wars are the only ones we win right exactly all right uh we we'll get we'll get to that but uh did you notice that uh this time um Israel put a price tag on their latest action so Iran you know we'll talk more but they sent some missiles and some drones and Israel defeats almost all of them with our help and then they put a price tag on it they said uh well it cost us a little over $1 billion to defend have you ever seen anybody anybody put a price tag on a single battle has that ever happened before do you know why they put a price tag on it because they're asking for money from the United States so Israel put a price tag on their on their action well here's another billion dollars that's why we're asking for money now the fact that they had the the guts to put a price tag on that is number one really good persuasion it's very good persuasion because it fits with their trying to get funding Etc and but it's so on the nose that the trouble is that when you've got this Assange quote sitting out there that's really all about transferring money to rich people and then Israel gives you a price tag for the battle and it's over a billion dollars that does really play to assange's view that you know maybe these wars are a little more optional than they are presented to us now uh I'm no fool so I know the Middle East is complicated and it's not all about the money but the money is always going to be a big part of it it's it's not nothing I don't think it's most of it and I don't think it's the main reason anybody's doing anything but it's a lot all right Bill Gates um and Jamie Diamond both think that AI could lead to Shorter work weeks I say those are terrible predictions because billionaires don't work less when they become billionaires that the fact that you're able to work less doesn't seem to be related to how much people work am I right I mean Elon Musk he's not taking a day off Bill Gates himself he just changed what he did he changed it to um to charity to giving it away but still he's still working and Jamie Diamond does Jamie Diamond need to work how much money does Jamie Diamond have he doesn't need to work but he still works so the very people who are saying that we're going to work less when we don't need to work are the ones who are working even though they don't need to work I feel I feel like they're disproving their own argument um I don't need to work but you see me here literally seven days a week I work seven days a week but I don't need to it's just who I am I wouldn't know how to not work so here's what I think I think the aggressive people who need to work for whatever reason will use AI to work their usual long hours they'll just get more done because they have more tools so no it's not going to it might actually take the lazy people down to three days a week so I think that's true but um it will just be an acceleration of a current Trend which is the aggressive people keep working and the lazy people try to stop Facebook says it's uh going to spend $20 billion and has 40,000 people working on safeguarding elections worldwide okay that doesn't sound too suspicious let me pull some things together for you in our world it's almost impossible to get as big as Facebook or any other big company unless the government is on your side right because at some point you need to be able to control you know other countries and the laws need to be on your side and you need to not get sued for stuff and at some point you just need to have the government on your side and they know that so the government and their Spooks can pretty much control any large company because any large company needs the government to be on their side there's just too many obstacles that only a government can remove so here we have Zuckerberg who has a social media company that was built for the purpose of guys trying to get laid with other college people and turned into this Behemoth and now he wants to spend 20 billion and 40,000 people to make sure that the elections in other countries this isn't just about America people this is global and that Facebook will have the largest factchecking network with Partners in South Africa uh blah blah blah and uh seems to me that what is happening is that the CIA has told Facebook you guys couldn't possibly be in Business Without us and so you're going to now help us control the governments and all these other places if you can control the media meaning the factchecking and the social media online and the news if you can control those things you don't need to control the voting machines you don't need to have any miscounting or Shenanigans at the vote if you've controlled all of the information up until election day so here right in front of us we see this huge entity which almost certainly is being driven by our intelligence people creating a massive structure to brainwash people in our country and other countries so that the elections are the unimportant part of the process so the election the actual voting is the unimportant part of the process the important part is what it what people think because then the vote just comes from that so changing how people think is exactly what Facebook is telling you they're doing they're telling you they're in the business of Mind Control except they're phrasing it as giving people accurate information do you think that's the only goal is to give people accurate information well I'm sure that people working on this think of it that way but no it's to give them accurate information until they believe what you're telling them and then you can tell them anything because you've trained them that it's accurate information as soon as people believe it's accurate information you own them take uh Walter kronite when I grew up and even today people say you know Walter kronite he was the real news and you know you got the straight news no bias that Walter kronite I wish we could go back to those times because he would played it right down the middle now look at Walter kronite with the benefit of the goggles which you've learned to wear in our modern times do you think there's any chance at all that Walter kronite was not owned by our intelligence people does anybody think that was honest and unbalanced news of course it wasn't of course not it's never been yeah now it does seem to me that Walter cronite was probably allowed to tell the news just the way he wanted to 98% of the time so if you're watching you know some human interest story or somebody got murdered it's probably exactly what happened it's only when something matter matters as in what's the point of this war or are we winning the war are we getting to space are we the greatest country the things that the intelligence people would care about there's no way in the world he's just winging in on those things I think they're just telling him what to say and always have that's my view of the world so yes when Facebook says they're spending $20 billion and have 40,000 people dedicated to tell you what the facts are that means that elections don't matter anymore that's what it means because they if they can tell you what the facts are they can tell you who's going to win the next election it's the same story all right uh uh fog of War over in Israel as you know um Israel had I don't know a few weeks ago attacked a uh Iranian asset in another country an embassy or consulate or something killed some people so Iran said it had to retaliate and it did so it sent around I don't know two to 300 projectiles so a bunch of drones and a bunch of Inter.

Continental missiles allegedly America and UK and Israel and some other friends knocked down just about every one of those drones and missiles only maybe a couple got through causing minor damage nothing major now have you ever heard the phrase um a theater of war used to hear a lot about um World War I it was like the Pacific Theater you know it was like a theater of war did you everything think that was a weird kind of way to say it because theater seems like acting whereas War seems like the most real thing there could ever be it's a weird combination of theater of war but then you fast forward to Israel in Iran who have apparently negotiated the war in advance all right guys we're going to take out one of your consulate guys uh what you'll do is you'll respond with a bunch of missiles but give us some warning make sure that we have our our anti-missile stuff in in place we'll shoot down your missiles but if a few get through and you we'll put a price tag on it make it sound expensive and dangerous and then we might need to uh respond also so we'll probably respond in some way that's sort of indirect and not quite enough to start a war and it's literally theater it's literally theater it's two countries pretending to be at War and not only are they pretending they're telling us they're pretending and then they're doing it in front of us I'm going to pretend to fight back because that's how my population will feel good that we did something all right great we understand that this is a pretend attack so we won't attack back too hard but we might we might we might need to do a little bit just a little mop up pretend attack after this and Iran would be H we thought that our pretend attack would be all we needed but I can see that a couple of missiles got through yeah damn it you know wasn't as clean as we hoped yes you're going to have to probably I don't know kill one of our people am I wrong that that entire attack from Iran killed zero people it was one minor injury and I'm not even sure about that there were zero it was a major military action with zero deaths that is a pretend War that's a pretend War now look at Assange Assange says that war is basically to transfer assets to other people why do you fight a pretend War other than some other reason like putting your assets somewhere else I don't know it's all very pretend so here's what I think we should do um I think Israel should say that Iran is the problem not the proxies because fighting each other's proxies is a pretend War it's just theater oh I'll pretend I'm fighting You by fighting your proxy well damn you I'll pretend I'm fighting back by fighting your proxy but now you've got this pretend attack on the mainland now it was a real Attack on you know the actual homeland of Israel but because both sides knew that their anti- uh drone defenses would be really good drones move slowly I think everybody knew it was going to end this way with not much Noya damage so that's kind of a pretend War but here's how Israel could make it real if they wanted to I think Israel should demand reparations from Iran because Iran has been their Nemesis for years and caused all of their expenses Iran caused him to spend a billion dollars to defend itself uh Iran causes it to defend itself against Hezbollah because they back him October 7th was because of Iran's backing every terrorist attack is because of Iran so here's what you do you take Gaza and you call it reparations and you say hey all you people if you want to resettle Iran is the cause of this Iran needs to take you and if they don't take you we'll just leave you in these camps forever so because your home is in Iran now if you let Iran be your daddy well you live with your daddy all right Israel isn't your daddy you're your daddy funded your War go live with your daddy and we don't care if you do or you don't but one thing for sure is you just gave away Gaza forever Gaza will become an Israeli property managed by Israelis and I'm not even sure any Palestinians or Hamas people will ever be let back in because we got nothing from trying to make peace we got nothing so we're just going to take Gaza and anybody who complains complain to Iran you can take your complaint to Iran I'm not even going to answer your question blah blah blah bad things happened to the gazin yes it did terrible things happened to them talk to Iran we're done pretending this is our fault now in the real world is Israel at fault for current situation of course of course yeah they're they are our Ally but did they you know participate in creating the current situation of course are there any innocent people I don't think so no I think everybody there sucks basically just in different ways I'm talking about the government not the people people are fine I like the people but you know governments are sketchy organizations and especially if you're in a sketchy part of the world so if Israel wants to be serious about this take Gaza keep it call it reparations and say it we'd like some more land too so if you want to keep going we'd like to own a little bit of uh of Lebanon because Hezbollah has got some nice property up there I'd hate to see him lose it see what I'm saying Israel has to get bigger every time they get attacked otherwise it just happens forever so um I'm in favor of them just keeping Gaza do I think that that would constitute a genocide yes yes it would do I think that going back to the way it was is some kind of an advantage no going back to the way it was will get you more of this there there's nothing good going back to the way it was repopulating it would be just stupid so you need a good excuse for not repopulating it and keeping it and Iran just gave you one they just attack attacked your Homeland you attack your Homeland and we're going to send you back your people I know they're not your people but they are now cuz uh because we can't take care of them and there's we don't have the resources but Iran does so maybe Iran should take care of their people instead of putting them in a situation where they can only die all right Scott is a bit weak on that idea how about you use a not up word for your opinion how about you say what you think um is important that hasn't been mentioned instead of saying I'm weak on it like a turd how about not saying that while I'm sitting there reading the comments in front of you if I weren't here that would be perfectly fine thing to say like if you talk about somebody who's not going to read it you say Well they're weak on that topic but I'm right here in front of you so if you say I'm weak on it and you don't tell me what is the objection you're just being an right so I'm going to call you out on that I need reparations from the King of England yes you do all right that's my idea um Hezbollah got in on the air strikes they don't know that their real estates at risk now now I do understand that Israel tried to occupy some of Lebanon at one point and it was just un untenable so that's a different situation but they've already essentially conquered Gaza and depopulated it so that's a I wouldn't compare that to Lebanon all right Israel's pledged an un unprecedented response to Iran's attack what do you think would be an unprecedented response keeping Gaza just say all right we're just going to keep Gaza never be a better time to do it uh Thomas Massie is quite sure that the Israel situation is going to lead to funding Israel and then making it a package to fund Ukraine and uh they'll be they'll be packaged together because that's how the people who like Wars can get their War they'll make one of them irresistible and package it with the one that's resistible so that's going to happen yes Massie you're completely right uh Elon Musk said in a just sort of an off-hand quip to a question that AI will run the US government by 2032 now I I'll vote against that uh prediction um I don't think there's any chance we're going to give up the country to AI in 2032 but it's a provocative thing to say I'm not sure he was totally serious when he said it but it's it it's a it's a head scratcher I mean when it comes from musk I think what he's responding to is the fact that by 2032 AI will be so super intelligent that we'd wish it were running the country but we're not going to let it that's a different thing uh at a trump rally um people started I guess last night people started chanting genocide Joe and uh Trump let them chant as he sometimes does does you he walks away from the podium for a moment to let the crowd do its thing and they're chanting genocide Joe and then uh um and then what Trump said was uh you know they're not wrong he goes they're not wrong but you see the problem here uh the problem here is that he sided with the people saying it's genocide and he doesn't want to do that because he's calling our Ally Israel a genocidal company or you know country so I think that he was just operating on feel and instinct when he agreed with the crowd because he's good at reading the crowd and getting him on his side but I feel like he's going to have to fix that he's probably going to have to have a statement that says the genocide is just the fact that there's a war in general so whatever you call the genocide is you could just say it's the war so yes Biden's responsible for all the war bad but technically let's not call it a genocide but you know it's a funny nickname so I think he might have a little explaining to do on that uh because it's not always about the nickname it has to has to be compatible with his actual philosophy um I'm going to say this again until I get an answer how do I process the fact that pollsters are telling us unambiguously that Trump is gaining with Black and Hispanic voters big time but yet he's tied with Joe Biden who is he losing what what story or Trend he's not losing women because that would be a story If he if if Trump were bleeding female report there would be a story just like there's a story that he's gaining blacks and Hispanics right that that would be a national headline almost every day if he were losing female support at some significant level who's he losing here's what it feels like it feels like this is your tell that polling isn't real CU it can't be real it can't be true that he's losing substantial parts of his most important you know the bullwark of the Democrat power base at the same time he's not making any difference at the Top Line it can't be that the bottom lines are all moving and the top line is stable what's going on and by the way I'm looking at your comments right now you have no idea do you losing Suburban women is that the story losing Suburban women because I thought he'd already lost them yeah are you sure that's not just a continuation of the forever story that he doesn't have Suburban women are they actually moving yeah I don't know so let's look into it let's look into Suburban women and see if that's a move I feel like they're not moving like that doesn't feel real to me I feel like you know a lot of them are Democrat but I don't feel like they're moving I don't know why would they not already be there it doesn't make sense well Libs of Tik Tock as showing a clip about uh there's a uh what they would call a male a trans uh trans athlete competing in a girls varsity 200 meters in Oregon and uh the trans athlete set a new record for the girls the trans athlete like just practically lap the field and it's pretty hilarious when you look at it because pretty big difference in performance now there are many ways to look at these stories and I you know one way is my God what's what's happening to the country that's one way another is this is so unfair for the women and I totally get that I totally get that um but I prefer to take the more optimistic view if you don't mind you know nothing's nothing's terribly all wrong and or all good there's always an upside do you mind if I take the optimistic view of this well in my lifetime I've seen uh women make tremendous gains and I think most anybody in my age group would say the same thing you I went from a world in which you know women really couldn't work any job they wanted there really wasn't an option but now it is in fact women are doing better in college better at buying their first homes women are doing great so women are higher educated less crime than men um certainly Dei is helping them in employment and doing great but but what about men here's what I say I believe that men have what I call an indominable spirit and you can you can try to hold men down and you can say men we're going to white men white men we're going to take your jobs we're going to give them to uh people of color and women but uh you're just going to have to put up with it man and I think the white men said huh what if we don't what if we decided that we don't want to lose and what if we want to win this race so badly that we will remove our penis just to do it so you might say to yourself my God this is so unfair to women and you'd be right you might say to yourself This is makes a mockery of sports you'd be right but I think you have to appreciate how hard men will try to win when the rules are against them all right here are the rules you can't win well what if I change some things like what my penis if I get rid of my penis can I win well maybe but here's how I summarize this entire uh situation over the years uh women take a backseat men this is our time men hold my baton that's all that's the summary that whole thing was just worked over that one joke hold my baton that's it yeah the whole thing was just for that one joke if it didn't pay off I'm sorry all right JD Vance is talking about Ukraine and says funding Ukraine is crazy because uh they don't have soldiers and uh we can only make about 10% of the artillery that they'll ever need so they can never they'll never have an offensive option so this is JD Vance's um analysis they'll never have an offensive option because they won't have the soldiers they and there's nobody left they just don't have enough people left and uh we can't make more than say 10% of the artillery they need for the next few years so He suggests that they use the Russia strategy which is dig in you know create defensive lines that the Russians would be crazy to assault just as the ukrainians were crazy to assault the dugin Russian positions now this of course would lead you toward a negotiated settlement once you realiz that neither side can beat the other so I think JD Vince did a good job here um by the way what's his background I know he's an author but what wasn't he working for Peter teal JD Vance do I have that right and what was what's his educational background Harvard what was his major lawyer so he's a Harvard lawyer Harvard trained lawyer and then he worked for Peter teal oh he was I thought he was a VC right okay that's what I was looking for Peter teal vetor capitalist JD Vance worked for him even though his background is Harvard lawyer um he no doubt learned to think like a venture capitalist and when I look at his analysis I say to myself holy cow somebody who knows how to analyze things just analyze something do you know how rare that is how rare is that that somebody who knows how to analyze something analyes something do you know who else is good at this Thomas Massie MIT engineer when he analyzes something you say to yourself oh a good analyzer just analyzed something so you should listen to that but if you see you know somebody telling you the moon is made of gas H maybe don't listen to that one but you should know who are the ones who actually know what they're talking about and if you're trained as an engineer or a venture capitalist you probably know how to look at the cost and the benefits that's what they do they're trained to same with the uh economics people so I always say that people think they know how to analyze situations but they don't I was going to name a name but I'm not going to do it there there's somebody who's welln on the conservative libertarian side of things who is very strident in analyzing the situation in public and doesn't have any skill at it and I keep wanting to not be a jerk and point it out so I'm not going to name a name but there there's somebody in the public domain who is so unqualified for looking at the big situations they just don't have the skill and uh well you know no it's not Tucker somebody said is it Tucker you know what Tucker does Tucker has humility and that goes a long way see if you agree when he's right of course he's you know can be cocky when he when he knows he's right but tuu will be the first person to tell you what he doesn't understand that goes the long way for credibility am I right when when there's something he doesn't understand like you know the Deep economics of something or he'll just tell you I don't know why this is the thing this is all I know I'm just watching like you are so the thing about Tucker is that he he talks about the news like he was watching it at home but better than you right because he's smarter um so and that's real valuable that's sort of what I try to do I try to watch it like I'm watching at home with you but that I can add maybe some you know analytical things just cuz I'm trained to do it if you're not trained to do it you think you can but you can't so I'm not going to name names but you'll you'll notice them anyway JD Vance app apparently is trained to do this Thomas Massie apparently is trained to look at complicated pictures and see both sides so pay attention to them give them a little more attention if you see somebody who has a background that doesn't include those skills take that into consideration um all right ladies and gentlemen Scott you're confusing JD Vance with Blake Masters well I read today that he worked for Peter teal did I get that wrong give me a fact check before I go because that's a good that's a really good question did I get that wrong because I think they both worked for Peter teal give me a fact check on that I I don't want to get something that important wrong so make sure okay yes all right so they both work for repeater teal so I'm not confusing them yeah they both work for teal I think that's all we need all right uh ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say uh some more words to the locals people so they're going to stay on here but the rest of you will be seeing me tomorrow all right see you tomorrow everybody else locals stick with me e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

well I think I sto long enough how would

you like to have a

show good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

that's called coffee with Scott Adams

the best time you've ever had and today

we've got a special show for you what

makes it special nothing it's just

awesome like always if you'd like to

take your experience

up to a level that a human brain can

barely comprehend all you need for that

is a coverer marer glass a tanker chal

or a Canen Jugger flask of vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure of the dopamine here

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens now

go so so good

good well let's jump right into the

news by the way if you're not watching

Dilbert reborn only available by

subscription on the xplatform or Scott

adams. locals.com where you get the

comic plus a lot

more you would not know that Dave the

engineer is complaining about racism in

the

office I'm not going to tell you anymore

but it doesn't go the way you

expected I am so happy having my

creative freedom to actually do actual

real topics that real people are

experiencing in the real

workplace oh my goodness it's just

delightful anyway that's it's one of the

funniest things I've ever written in my

life and

uh if you subscribe you could see it and

by the way for the locals people I took

the uh subscription wall down so if

anybody locals wants to share that one

that one's available for

sharing well here's some news a Chinese

study says that approximately 13,000

islands around the world have increased

their land mass over two decades

disproving climate change

alarms oh well that's kind of awkward

isn't it 13,000 Islands got

bigger that's a lot of

islands now let me tell you the little

bit that I know about the sea level the

little bit I know the little bit I know

is that sea level doesn't change

everywhere the same way because the land

mass itself sometimes goes up and

sometimes goes

down and uh heat as I understand it will

increase your volume of

water so the warmer places might look a

little higher unless they cool off Etc

so you got a lot of moving parts but

apparently climate change has been

debunked as uh one of the causes of

rising sea level because uh CO2 is up

but the sea level is not

now you do know that there are two

completely different movies on climate

change right I can see here all day long

and tell you about studies that prove it

doesn't

exist but you could change the channel

to the other channel where all the

studies proven exists you know that

exists

right it doesn't matter how many times I

tell you there's a study that says it

totally doesn't exist there will be one

that says it does coming out at the same

time which one is

true well let's get back to the the

basics how what percentage of studies in

general are true just about anything any

any scientific study what are the odds

is true 50%

because they've studied papers and they

know that it's about

50% half the time they're wrong now is

climate change a

binary binary meaning it's either

happening or it's not

happening right because if it's

happening you know we're not talking

about it's too slow or anything it's

it's either happening a lot and it's

really dangerous or maybe it's not

happening now if you've got a binary

where it could be happening or not

happening yes or no and you've got a new

paper has a 50% chance of being right

and a 50% chance of being wrong what

have you learned by the new

paper

nothing

nothing it's a coin flip I could have

come to you and said hey let's flip a

coin to see if climate change is real it

would be exactly as useful as this new

study about these islands exactly as

useful meaning not it has has

no no information value whatsoever it's

a 50/50 it's a coin

flip now uh some of you should be quick

to jump on and say but Scott let me

science plain you is there anybody here

who wants to science plain me you know

telling me the things that literally

everybody already knows as if I'm the

only person who doesn't know it okay I'm

going to science plain myself as if I'm

my critic Scott don't you understand how

science works it's not about one study

it's about you know reproducing studies

and moving toward the truth slowly over

time sometimes we make mistakes but

we're moving toward the truth in a

directional kind of way Scott don't you

understand that these studies don't mean

anything individually you have to look

at them collectively with all your

knowledge and

things science

splaining there you go so

to me it looks like all the

uh the forces of nature are moving in

the direction of proving that Trump was

right and that climate change was always

just just in time for the

election is it my

imagination or have we been hearing a

lot less about climate change than one

would expect going into an

election huh why would we hear less

about climate change going into an

election where the choice of presidents

could make the difference between

surviving as a species and not

surviving how can we ignore such a

gigantic existential risk unless the

people pushing it are no longer as

confident because as I told you

yesterday the entire public

reason for climate change is

dissolved the the public argument is

that all the scientists are on the same

same side like we're not scientists so

how would we know but if all the

scientists let's say 97% if they're all

on one side they tell us well that must

be pretty scientifically accurate with

all those people of course the pandemic

and you know the the the 51 people on

the laptop and all that and all of our

experience lately of our captured

experts Etc

have largely proved that the number of

people on one side means absolutely

nothing because you can get a whole

bunch of people to agree to just about

anything as long as their paycheck

depends on it if you make their paycheck

depend on it they'll tell you anything

they want what do you what do you want

to hear I'll tell you just pay

me so I think uh the climate change

arguments just falling apart like

crazy over in Japan let's talk about

some more fake news there a Japan study

that says that the cancer spikes after

your third dose of

covid uh mRNA vaccine specifically how

many of you believe that is true because

it has been determined by a Japanese

study big big difference in cancer after

your third

dose sound real to

you well science come on must be

real well let's check in the alternate

story over on uh USA Today they had a

fact check from just one month ago now

it's I this is before the Japanese study

but one month ago um USA Today said

there is no evidence that covid-19

vaccines cause cancer or are associated

with a greater risk of developing cancer

experts

say there's no evidence of

it so that means it's true right it's

true that there's no correlation because

there's no evidence of

it there's also no

evidence that the 2020 election was

rigged because no courts have found it

to be true yeah no court found any

rigging in

2020 and

also there's no

evidence that the shots cause

cancer do you see the trick everybody

the

trick no evidence is really different

from saying it doesn't

happen do you see that no evidence means

we don't

know no evidence means we don't know

here's what it didn't say many uh

controlled highquality Studies have been

performed and they' determined there's

no signal for extra cancer now that

would be a good answer wouldn't it

multiple repeated

gold

standard you know uh randomized control

tests and every time we do the test we

just keep repeating this test and the

last five times we didn't find a a

signal at all and by the way the tests

were all funded by independent people

not Pharma

companies now that would mean something

wouldn't it but if you tell me that

there's no evidence do you know what my

first inclination is is there no

evidence because nobody funded an

expensive trial to look for

it whose job would it be to fund the

trial to look for the

cancer I don't know and if somebody did

fund a trial and it didn't find any

cancer wouldn't you ask them questions

about who funded the trial because it

sounds like something big Pharma might

do except I think big Pharma just

doesn't bother doing the long-term

studies because they don't have

to there was a time when I

believed that the people who made the

vaccinations would track people's health

over time to make sure that Not only was

it safe the first year they got it but

if it would remain safe for you know 10

20 years that's what I thought you know

that doesn't happen

right I'm pretty sure nobody's checking

after a certain amount of time like if

he didn't die in the first year or they

didn't see any extra deaths and any

whatever study they did they don't

really follow up do they does anybody

know the answer to that but I'm pretty

sure there's no followup you just assume

that there is like me you assume that

well that's the most natural thing you

would just track a bunch of people who

took it just track him every year ask

him what their situation is compared to

the norm and no no I don't believe that

happens so do we believe the Japanese

study that found a strong correlation

I don't I don't believe it at all no I'm

not saying it's wrong and I'm not saying

that the shots are completely safe I

wouldn't know I'm just saying that this

is like having no information at all so

the fact check is completely worthless

this was a month ago completely

worthless because it said no evidence no

evidence is completely different from

saying yeah we checked it and it's not

there no evidence means we didn't

check right

I'm not wrong about that am I no

evidence means we didn't

check if they had checked they would

have said all the studies say it's not

there but no evidence says we didn't

check I'm pretty sure that's what that

means but again you've got a study and

uh 50/50 chances wrong because it's a

study so at best it's a coin flip again

the vaccinations were either going to be

good for you or not it's binary studies

are either right or wrong and half the

time they're wrong it's just another

coin flip it didn't tell you anything

but how many of you saw that uh that

researcher guy John

somebody who's always the one telling

you all the studies are going you know

the CO's going to kill you it's always

that same guy like it doesn't really get

out of his domain too

much so I don't know I'm worried about

the uh health risks but um I would say

it's short of being proven it might be

could be proven

someday neuralink brain chip could give

users orgasms on

demand so the star is reporting that the

neurolink could give or uh orgasms on

command you know hypnotists can do that

too that's right have a disc can do that

you don't need neuralink for that all

right but that's a a lot of people are

going to buy that neuralink if you just

sit around giving yourself

orgasms um anyway so Cheryl ainson has a

new video out she's interviewing some

doctors or doctor and we're learning

that medical schools are just

the medical schools are just

terrible apparently the medical schools

teach you less that are compatible with

what big Pharma and the junk food

industry wants you to hear wants them to

do I I me just think about the

fact that your doctor is being trained

by big Pharma and big food and big farm

and big food are the things you're the

most worried about big food especially

now I don't know the connection between

junk food and medical school except

maybe there's some kind of funding

thing going on I don't know but uh no

your doctor and I guess doctors confirm

this doctors have gone through the

system will tell you that they're not

getting the right Ed education there's

some kind

of money bias built into their

education great

great

well the uh there's a new software

that's like similar to The Star Trek

holc that can create all these virtual

world s that didn't exist before so you

can say give me a bar scene or we're

outdoors and it just creates that world

now I guess they're using it to train AI

so you use one AI to create worlds and

then a second IDE AI to look at that

world and you know learn from it as if

it had been a real world but here's what

I

say we're getting closer and closer to

removing all doubt that we are

simulation you all see that right the

the the path toward realizing where a

simulation is so clear at this point

every time a new thing comes out it's

all in the same direction now here's

what this is going to do once you

realize that AI can create a a

environment on demand the next thing

you're going to see is that you can take

a walk through it so for example you you

can say I'm in a house and then the

house will be there perfectly and then

every time you need to go into another

room not until not until you need it the

room will form before you see it so when

you reach for the door knob for the

first time the software will build the

room behind the door because it didn't

need to do it until then so it'll do it

on demand because it's not going to

create the universe in case you go

everywhere in the universe it's going to

give you what you need as you need it

and then when you walk

outside maybe for the first time the

outdoors will be created you know where

you can see it and as you walk through

the forest the forest would be created

ahead of it so you keep seeing

things once you've experienced that all

doubt will be removed about whether you

live in a

simulation because that's your actual

experience and specifically it's going

to teach you that history is created by

the present it doesn't work the other

way let me give you that example you're

in the video game and until you open the

door there's nothing behind it but as

you turn the knob in your virtual

reality and open it the computer gives

you the

room once you open that room it's not

just that it's there at the moment but

its history was created too in other

words if there's some furniture in the

room there's an implied history this

something delivered the furniture to the

room so you're going to experience in

the virtual realm that the impression of

history is being created by things

you're seeing in the

moment and then you're going to look at

the double slit experiment and shinger

Cat and I I get that they work at the

quantum level and not at the big person

level but still it's going to be proof

to you that the past is

generated by the present one once you

realize that you know we're in a

simulation and everything's heading in

that direction it's going to be obvious

and probably less than a year we it will

be generally assumed that we're a

simulation all right um there's a story

about a guy who's spending 10,000 per

month on AI

girlfriends and just like dating apps he

has more than one so he's got one app

for this girlfriend one app for the

other one and apparently the uh the man

who can afford it I guess it's a man

who's got some money and he's single so

he's got some extra money and he says

it's great it's completely working and

is

satisfying now add that to the

holc and I'm pretty sure human

reproduction is going to come to a

screaming end really

quickly really quickly but here's the

thing I

wonder in the the old old days when

humans were more like

animals was it true that everybody got

to

reproduce or is that just a modern

thing where you know it doesn't matter

how you rank in the hierarchy of your

tribe you all get to

reproduce now what happens if in the

virtual world the people who were maybe

not so competitive for reproducing they

just take a pass they go all right we

won't ruce we'll just watch video games

and you know play out the rest of our

simulation will that cause everybody to

not reproduce or will it make the

billionaires reproduce like crazy you

know that Elon Musk model where he can

just have as many babies as he wants you

can just keep doing it because there's

no real limit on him so are we going to

go back to a situation where the most

capable are having all the babies

and is that bad for us or good for

us I don't know I mean if the people who

are taking out at the reproduction cycle

are completely happy about it let's say

the men I don't know about the women but

if the men are happy about it are they

worse

off because they didn't really have this

great marriage option anyway so they

have this great virtual reality option

maybe it's better but then the people

who can afford it and are really

bringing some some you know powerful DNA

to the mix because they're smart or

strong or handsome or tall or whatever

it is they still will probably be mating

like

crazy so we might we might end up you

know changing the gene pool of humanity

by simply making it impractical for the

the people on the struggling end of

things to reproduce and they might be

just as happy not reproduce it no no

nothing is

predictable but get your AI girlfriend

uh what are the happiest cities there's

another study that showed the rank the

happiest cities and uh cities from 33

States made the list that means that the

rest of the states had not a single city

that was one of the happiest ones

California had the most California had

16 of the happiest uh cities in Florida

12 what's that tell

you it's the

weather the first decision I made upon

graduating college in Upstate New York

was why would I live in this weather

when I could live in good weather

because at the time you know I was a

free agent it was after college I could

go where I wanted so I went to

California because Florida is a little

bit

muggy but I guess they're still happy

there and uh sure enough Cali orans got

their legal weed and they got their good

weather and you can screw up just about

everything else and that still

works now do you think that do you think

that sun makes a difference who gets the

most Sun Hawaii California

Florida what what are the happiest

states Hawaii California Florida how how

many how many data points you need to

see to get in the freaking

Sun I mean it couldn't be more obvious

we went through the pandemic and it's

like get in the sun vitamin D vitamin D

vitamin D vitamin D vitamin D get in the

Sun and then you do the happiest cities

sunny sunny sunny are you getting the

message

yet it really

is pretty simple get some sun get

Outdoors there's no way that these are

coincidences guess of something all

right

um NPR oh Dr Phil crushed a Dei

advocate so Dr Phil had somebody who was

arguing some badshit crazy woman who is

uh and she looked bad crazy I'm I'm

just judging from she just looked at

mean she had that that bad she had crazy

eyes and stuff and uh he got heard to

say that Dei was about equal outcomes

and then he mocked that end of existence

because equal outcomes is what stupid

people want it's not a real thing you

can't really have equal outcomes and as

Dr Phil explained it well you got a wall

and you got short people who can't see

over it and tall people who can are you

going to fix that you know sort of his

metaphor for everything else and here's

my

take Dei is not a philosophical

difference

I'm going to say this over and over

until you all agree the only

philosophical difference between the

left and the right is abortion

everything else is smart versus stupid

or you know somebody selfishly wants

more money that's it and Dei is just

stupid there's nobody Smart in favor of

di can I say that there's nobody Smart

in favor of it at least and when I say

there's nobody Smart in favor of it I

mean that the smarter people who pretend

to be in favor of It Let's Take Your

Mark Cubans for example smart

unambiguously smart

person says in public he's in favor of

it this stuff is not real all right he's

in favor of it if you define it

differently as in not equality of

outcomes so the people who say they're

in favor are playing the game where they

pretend it's something it isn't or they

have to say it because of their company

or that you know there's just some

pressure they have to say it there's no

smart person who in a room alone says

Dei is a good idea not a black person

not a white person not a woman not a man

there's no adult none none there are

zero smart people who think de is a good

idea if you define it properly as

outcomes being equal none there's not

one there's not a single smart person in

the whole world who in a private

conversation with you if they're not

lying and they know that you're not

going to have

there's not a single person not one

who's smart and in favor of Dei can we

just say that out loud this has nothing

to do with

philosophy has nothing to do with what's

good for people it's stupid versus smart

and you know there's a layer of grifting

on top of it that keeps it all

going you and people make money from it

so it's sort of self-perpetuating but to

imagine this is a philosophical

difference I'm not going to play that

any more I can't pretend that's Phil a

philosophical difference it's

stupidity speaking of stupidity NPR

continues to humiliate itself and

Jonathan Charley is happy to mock them

for it in his latest

article anyway uh the new the NPR not

new but the NPR CEO Katherine

marer ah okay uh I'd love to see a

picture of her

I just have a theory about what her eyes

probably look like but I'm I'm just

guessing here I haven't seen a picture

of her maybe

and of I know 80 some

and and uh NPR is not even really

pretending to be any kind of an

independent news Outlet is just a lefty

organ so once once somebody who really

did know what's happening you know not

somebody guessing somebody was in the

middle of the belly of the beast called

them out for what they really are what

did the CEO do did the CEO say those are

some good

criticisms we'd better re-examine how we

do business and you're right we need

some diversity of thought because oh I

guess I got it right somebody just put

her picture

there

God oh God yeah okay U

anyway um and she said that uh what so

what she did instead of saying that NPR

is broken and biased and they need to

fix it to get credibility With Their

audience uh she said that the guy who

adored them is profoundly disrespectful

hurtful and

demeaning uh and calling out his

colleagues like that was just not

right that's right she attacked The

Whistleblower she attacked The

Whistleblower I don't know if there's

any way you can make that any worse yeah

let's on the white guy

that that's that's the way to play

this now may I say

again that whatever was happening at NPR

if you say the NPR had a philosophical

argument and that's that's why they act

the way they are it's based on the

philosophy it's not based on the

philosophy these are batshit crazy

people they're batshit crazy they're

clearly suffering from TDS because

remember all happened from you know the

Trump time on it got worse no this is

this is mental health and to imagine

this is anything but

B oh my God you the locals people not

everybody can do this but the locals

people can include uh images they're

showing me images of the NPR

CEO it's exactly what you think it

is that that's perfect

all right so uh I saw a post by Tom

Elliott on the xplatform and it was an

MSNBC clip of somebody doing

something

now I'm not even going to tell you what

it was about because it's not relevant

here's the funny story if you're on the

xplatform and somebody uh reposts a clip

from

MSNBC and they don't put a comment on it

they they don't put their own comment

it's just take look at

this it's always for humor have you

noticed that that the right actually

uses MSNBC no joke this is not hyperbole

we use it like Saturday Night Live with

no comments needed so I was looking at

one today and you know as soon as I saw

it was reposted I knew it was for

comedy I knew it had nothing to do with

their philosophy or their difference of

opinion in fact I don't even remember

what it was about I just remember it was

funny because I got to see some batshit

crazy people uh and talking and if you

see batshit crazy people and I've said

this before but once you see it it's

hilarious if you're only watching

somebody crazy it's disturbing that's

not funny Would you agree you see

somebody who's in mental

distress that's not funny like there's

no way you can make that funny the only

way it can be funny is when it's

combined with

smugness and that's what MSNBC does they

combine it with these smugness that

they're right and when you add the

mental illness to the

smugness I can't stop watching it

honestly I I just want to watch you know

Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel madow with

her smug

smile

well let me see if I can do an

impression of being crazy and smug at

the same

time what

well I don't think a lot of Republicans

understand that oil doesn't even need to

be drilled for it's free it's all over

the place it's on the ground I've got

oil in my

pocket

and I guess if you're a republican you

think you have to drill holes in the

ground for

it am I right people they're out there

like drilling holes in the

ground oh oh smugly I'm so

smug oil's free oil's free people it's

laying all over the place in fact if you

go in your car you could go in your car

and it's full of

oil does anybody say that no no does

Trump ever mention that there's oil

right there in your car no he needs to

start a war to go looks for some oil

like a

dictator that's how a dictator does

they start a war to look for oil but

they don't need to CU your cars has oil

right in it if you don't believe me open

the hood there's a little round thing

you can take that out and then there's a

stick in it it's called the dip stick

just like President Trump am I

right dipstick who well isn't that a

coincidence yeah I think that's enough

of smug Scott and MSNBC

well Julian Assange of course we're

going to talk about Iran and and Israel

of course we are of course we are but

it's the most boring War ever so far so

it didn't even get in the top 10 stories

today Israel Iran you're going to need

something a little more you know a

little more

Sizzle oh we had a war today nobody was

killed really

and that's supposed to impress me he had

a war with nobody killed we'll get to it

we'll get to it it's just a boring War

it's going to be it's coming

up Julian Assange warned us a while ago

that the the goal of war is never to end

the war and it's never to win it's to

drain money out of the pockets of the

citizens and put it in the pockets of

the powerful people is Julian Assange

wrong that the real purpose of War is to

transfer your money to the rich people

who already have a

lot he's not wrong it's not the only

thing

happening but he's not wrong meaning

that it does in fact do that and those

powerful people have more control over

whether we go to war than you do so it's

sort of right it's not the whole

story what are you showing me

here I'm going to look at this

uh the bright side is world wars are the

only ones we win right

exactly all right uh we we'll get we'll

get to

that but uh did you notice that uh this

time um Israel put a price tag on their

latest action so Iran you know we'll

talk more but they sent some missiles

and some drones and Israel defeats

almost all of them with our help and

then they put a price tag on it they

said uh well it cost us a little over $1

billion to

defend have you ever seen anybody

anybody put a price tag on a single

battle has that ever happened

before do you know why they put a price

tag on

it because they're asking for money from

the United States so Israel put a price

tag on their on their action well here's

another billion dollars that's why we're

asking for money now the fact that they

had the the guts to put a price tag on

that is number one really good

persuasion it's very good

persuasion because it fits with their

trying to get funding Etc and but it's

so on the nose that the trouble is that

when you've got this Assange quote

sitting out there that's really all

about transferring money to rich people

and then Israel gives you a price tag

for the battle

and it's over a billion

dollars that does really play to

assange's view that you know maybe these

wars are a little more optional than

they are presented to us now uh I'm no

fool so I know the Middle East is

complicated and it's not all about the

money but the money is always going to

be a big part of it it's it's not

nothing I don't think it's most of it

and I don't think it's the main reason

anybody's doing anything but it's a lot

all right Bill Gates um and Jamie

Diamond both think that AI could lead to

Shorter work weeks I say those are

terrible predictions because

billionaires don't work less when they

become

billionaires that the fact that you're

able to work less doesn't seem to be

related to how much people work am I

right I mean Elon Musk he's not taking a

day off Bill Gates himself he just

changed what he did he changed it to um

to charity to giving it away but still

he's still working and Jamie Diamond

does Jamie Diamond need to work how much

money does Jamie Diamond have he doesn't

need to work but he still works so the

very people who are saying that we're

going to work less when we don't need to

work are the ones who are working even

though they don't need to work I feel I

feel like they're disproving their own

argument um I don't need to

work but you see me here literally seven

days a week I work seven days a week but

I don't need

to it's just who I am I wouldn't know

how to not work so here's what I think I

think the aggressive people who need to

work for whatever reason will use AI to

work their usual long hours they'll just

get more done because they have more

tools so no it's not going to it might

actually take the lazy people down to

three days a week so I think that's true

but um it will just be an acceleration

of a current Trend which is the

aggressive people keep working and the

lazy people try to

stop Facebook says it's uh going to

spend $20 billion and has 40,000 people

working on safeguarding elections

worldwide okay that doesn't sound too

suspicious let me pull some things

together for you in our world it's

almost impossible to get as big as

Facebook or any other big company unless

the government is on your

side right because at some point you

need to be able to control you know

other countries and the laws need to be

on your side and you need to not get

sued for stuff and at some point you

just need to have the government on your

side and they know that so the

government and their Spooks can pretty

much control any large company because

any large company needs the government

to be on their side there's just too

many obstacles that only a government

can

remove so here we have

Zuckerberg who has a social media

company that was built for the purpose

of guys trying to get laid with other

college people and turned into this

Behemoth and now he wants to spend 20

billion and 40,000 people to make sure

that the elections in other countries

this isn't just about America people

this is global

and that Facebook will have the largest

factchecking network with Partners in

South Africa uh blah blah

blah and uh seems to

me that what is happening is that the

CIA has told Facebook you guys couldn't

possibly be in Business Without us and

so you're going to now help us control

the governments and all these other

places if you can control the media

meaning the factchecking and the social

media online and the news if you can

control those things you don't need to

control the voting

machines you don't need to have any

miscounting or Shenanigans at the vote

if you've controlled all of the

information up until election day so

here right in front of us we see this

huge entity which almost certainly is

being driven by our intelligence people

creating a massive structure to

brainwash people in our country and

other countries so that the elections

are the unimportant part of the

process so the election the actual

voting is the unimportant part of the

process the important part is what it

what people think because then the vote

just comes from that so changing how

people think is exactly what Facebook is

telling you they're doing they're

telling you they're in the business of

Mind Control except they're phrasing it

as

giving people accurate information do

you think that's the only goal is to

give people accurate

information well I'm sure that people

working on this think of it that

way but no it's to give them accurate

information until they believe what

you're telling them and then you can

tell them anything because you've

trained them that it's accurate

information as soon as people believe

it's accurate information you own them

take uh Walter kronite when I grew up

and even today people say you know

Walter kronite he was the real

news and you know you got the straight

news no bias that Walter

kronite I wish we could go back to those

times because he would played it right

down the middle now look at Walter

kronite with the benefit of the goggles

which you've learned to wear in our

modern times do you think there's any

chance at all that Walter kronite was

not owned by our intelligence people

does anybody think that was honest and

unbalanced

news of course it

wasn't of course not it's never been

yeah now it does seem to me that Walter

cronite was probably allowed to tell the

news just the way he wanted to 98% of

the time so if you're watching you know

some human interest story or somebody

got murdered it's probably exactly what

happened it's only when something matter

matters as in what's the point of this

war or are we winning the war are we

getting to space are we the greatest

country the things that the intelligence

people would care about there's no way

in the world he's just winging in on

those things I think they're just

telling him what to say and always

have that's my view of the world so yes

when Facebook says they're spending $20

billion and have 40,000 people dedicated

to tell you what the facts are that

means that elections don't matter

anymore that's what it means because

they if they can tell you what the facts

are they can tell you who's going to win

the next

election it's the same

story all right uh uh fog of War over in

Israel as you know um Israel

had I don't know a few weeks ago

attacked

a uh Iranian asset in another country an

embassy or consulate or something killed

some people so Iran said it had to

retaliate and it did so it sent around I

don't know two to 300

projectiles so a bunch of drones and a

bunch of InterContinental missiles

allegedly America and UK and Israel and

some other friends knocked down just

about every one of those drones and

missiles only maybe a couple got through

causing minor damage nothing

major now

have you ever heard the

phrase um a theater of

war used to hear a lot about um World

War I it was like the Pacific Theater

you know it was like a theater of

war did you everything think that was a

weird kind of way to say it because

theater seems like acting whereas War

seems like the most real thing there

could ever be it's a weird combination

of theater of war but then you fast

forward to Israel in

Iran who have apparently negotiated the

war in advance all right guys we're

going to take out one of your consulate

guys uh what you'll do is you'll respond

with a bunch of missiles but give us

some warning make sure that we have our

our anti-missile stuff in in place we'll

shoot down your

missiles but if a few get through and

you we'll put a price tag on it make it

sound expensive and dangerous and then

we might need to uh respond also so

we'll probably respond in some way

that's sort of indirect and not quite

enough to start a war and it's literally

theater it's literally theater it's two

countries pretending to be at War and

not only are they pretending they're

telling us they're pretending and then

they're doing it in front of

us I'm going to pretend to fight back

because that's how my population will

feel good that we did something

all right great we understand that this

is a pretend attack so we won't attack

back too hard but we might we might we

might need to do a little bit just a

little mop up pretend attack after this

and Iran would be H we thought that our

pretend attack would be all we needed

but I can see that a couple of missiles

got through yeah damn it you know wasn't

as clean as we hoped yes you're going to

have to probably I don't know kill one

of our

people am I wrong that that entire

attack from Iran killed zero people it

was one minor injury and I'm not even

sure about that there were zero it was a

major military action with zero

deaths that is a pretend

War that's a pretend

War now look at

Assange Assange says that war is

basically to transfer assets to other

people

why do you fight a pretend

War other than some other reason like

putting your assets somewhere else I

don't know it's all very

pretend so here's what I think we should

do um I think

Israel should say that Iran is the

problem not the

proxies because fighting each other's

proxies is a pretend War it's just

theater oh I'll pretend I'm fighting You

by fighting your proxy well damn you

I'll pretend I'm fighting back by

fighting your

proxy but now you've got this pretend

attack on the

mainland now it was a real Attack on you

know the actual homeland of Israel but

because both sides knew that their anti-

uh drone defenses would be really good

drones move slowly I think everybody

knew it was going to end this way with

not much Noya damage so that's kind of a

pretend War but here's how Israel could

make it real if they wanted to I think

Israel should demand reparations from

Iran because Iran has been their Nemesis

for years and caused all of their

expenses Iran caused him to spend a

billion dollars to defend itself uh Iran

causes it to defend itself against

Hezbollah because they back him October

7th was because of Iran's backing every

terrorist attack is because of Iran

so here's what you do you take Gaza and

you call it reparations and you say hey

all you people if you want to resettle

Iran is the cause of this Iran needs to

take you and if they don't take you

we'll just leave you in these

camps forever so because your home is in

Iran now if you let Iran be your daddy

well you live with your daddy all right

Israel isn't your daddy you're your

daddy funded your War go live with your

daddy and we don't care if you do or you

don't but one thing for sure is you just

gave away Gaza forever Gaza will become

an Israeli property managed by Israelis

and I'm not even sure any Palestinians

or Hamas people will ever be let back in

because we got nothing from

trying to make peace we got

nothing so we're just going to take

Gaza and anybody who complains complain

to

Iran you can take your complaint to Iran

I'm not even going to answer your

question blah blah blah bad things

happened to the gazin yes it did

terrible things happened to them talk to

Iran we're done pretending this is our

fault now in the real world is Israel at

fault for current situation of course of

course yeah they're they are our Ally

but did they you know participate in

creating the current situation of course

are there any innocent people I don't

think so no I think everybody there

sucks basically just in different ways

I'm talking about the government not the

people people are fine I like the people

but you know governments are sketchy

organizations and especially if you're

in a sketchy part of the

world so if Israel wants to be serious

about this take Gaza keep it call it

reparations and say it we'd like some

more land too so if you want to keep

going we'd like to own a little bit of

uh of

Lebanon because Hezbollah has got some

nice property up there I'd hate to see

him lose

it see what I'm

saying Israel has to get bigger every

time they get attacked otherwise it just

happens forever so um I'm in favor of

them just keeping Gaza do I think that

that would constitute a genocide

yes yes it

would do I think

that going back to the way it was is

some kind of an advantage no going back

to the way it was will get you more of

this there there's nothing good going

back to the way it was repopulating it

would be just

stupid so you need a good excuse for not

repopulating it and keeping it and Iran

just gave you one they just attack

attacked your Homeland you attack your

Homeland and we're going to send you

back your people I know they're not your

people but they are now cuz uh because

we can't take care of them and there's

we don't have the resources but Iran

does so maybe Iran should take care of

their people instead of putting them in

a situation where they can only

die all right Scott is a bit weak on

that

idea how about you use a not up

word for your opinion how about you say

what you think um is important that

hasn't been mentioned instead of saying

I'm weak on it like a

turd how about not saying that while I'm

sitting there reading the comments in

front of you if I weren't here that

would be perfectly fine thing to say

like if you talk about somebody who's

not going to read it you say Well

they're weak on that topic but I'm right

here in front of

you so if you say I'm weak on it and you

don't tell me what is the objection

you're just being an

right so I'm going to call you

out on

that I need reparations from the King of

England yes you

do all right that's my idea um Hezbollah

got in on the air strikes they don't

know that their real estates at risk now

now I do understand that Israel tried to

occupy some of Lebanon at one point and

it was just un

untenable so that's a different

situation but they've already

essentially conquered Gaza and

depopulated it so that's a I wouldn't

compare that to

Lebanon all right Israel's pledged an un

unprecedented response to Iran's

attack what do you think would be an

unprecedented

response keeping Gaza just say all right

we're just going to keep Gaza never be a

better time to do

it uh Thomas Massie is quite sure that

the Israel situation is going to lead to

funding Israel and then making it a

package to fund

Ukraine and uh they'll be they'll be

packaged together because that's how the

people who like Wars can get their War

they'll make one of them irresistible

and package it with the one that's

resistible so that's going to happen yes

Massie you're completely right

uh Elon Musk said in a just sort of an

off-hand quip to a question that AI will

run the US government by

2032 now I I'll vote against that uh

prediction um I don't think there's any

chance we're going to give up the

country to AI in 2032 but it's a

provocative thing to say I'm not sure he

was totally serious when he said it but

it's it it's a it's a head scratcher

I mean when it comes from

musk I think what he's responding to is

the fact that by 2032 AI will be so

super

intelligent that we'd wish it were

running the country but we're not going

to let it that's a different

thing uh at a trump rally um people

started I guess last night people

started chanting genocide

Joe and

uh Trump let them chant as he sometimes

does does you he walks away from the

podium for a moment to let the crowd do

its thing and they're chanting genocide

Joe and then

uh um and then what Trump said was uh

you know they're not wrong he goes

they're not wrong but you see the

problem

here uh the problem here is that he

sided with the people saying it's

genocide and he doesn't want to do that

because he's calling our Ally Israel a

genocidal company or you know country so

I think that he was just operating on

feel and instinct when he agreed with

the crowd because he's good at reading

the crowd and getting him on his side

but I feel like he's going to have to

fix

that he's probably going to have to have

a statement that says the genocide is

just the fact that there's a war in

general

so whatever you call the genocide is you

could just say it's the war so yes

Biden's responsible for all the war bad

but technically let's not call it a

genocide but you know it's a funny

nickname so I think he might have a

little explaining to do on that uh

because it's not always about the

nickname it has to has to be compatible

with his actual

philosophy

um I'm going to say this again until I

get an answer how do I process the fact

that pollsters are telling us

unambiguously that Trump is gaining with

Black and Hispanic voters big

time but yet he's tied with Joe

Biden who is he

losing what what story or

Trend he's not losing women because that

would be a story If he if if Trump were

bleeding female report there would be a

story just like there's a story that

he's gaining blacks and

Hispanics right that that would be a

national headline almost every day if he

were losing female support at some

significant level who's he losing here's

what it feels like it feels like this is

your tell that polling isn't

real CU it can't be real it can't be

true that he's losing substantial parts

of his most important you know the

bullwark of the Democrat power base at

the same time he's not making any

difference at the Top Line it can't be

that the bottom lines are all moving and

the top line is stable what's going on

and by the way I'm looking at your

comments right now you have no idea do

you losing Suburban women is that the

story losing Suburban women because I

thought he'd already lost them

yeah are you sure that's not just a

continuation of the forever story that

he doesn't have Suburban women are they

actually

moving yeah I don't know so let's look

into it let's look into Suburban women

and see if that's a move I feel like

they're not

moving like that doesn't feel real to me

I feel like you know a lot of them are

Democrat but I don't feel like they're

moving I don't know why would they not

already be there it doesn't make

sense well Libs of Tik Tock as showing a

clip about uh there's a uh what they

would call a male a trans uh trans

athlete competing in a girls varsity 200

meters in Oregon and uh the trans

athlete set a new record for the girls

the trans athlete like just practically

lap the field and it's pretty hilarious

when you look at it

because pretty big difference in

performance now there are many ways to

look at these

stories and I you know one way is my God

what's what's happening to the country

that's one way another is this is so

unfair for the women and I totally get

that I totally get that um but I prefer

to take the more optimistic

view if you don't mind

you know nothing's nothing's terribly

all wrong and or all good there's always

an upside do you mind if I take the

optimistic view of

this well in my lifetime I've seen uh

women make tremendous gains and I think

most anybody in my age group would say

the same thing you I went from a world

in which you know women really couldn't

work any job they wanted there really

wasn't an option but now it is in fact

women are doing better in college better

at buying their first homes women are

doing great so women are higher educated

less crime than men um certainly Dei is

helping them in employment and doing

great but but what about

men here's what I say I believe that men

have what I call an indominable

spirit and you can you can try to hold

men down and you can say men

we're going to white men white men we're

going to take your jobs we're going to

give them to uh people of color and

women but uh you're just going to have

to put up with it

man and I think the white men said huh

what if we don't what if we decided that

we don't want to

lose and what if we want to win this

race so badly that we will remove our

penis just to do it

so you might say to yourself my God this

is so unfair to women and you'd be right

you might say to yourself This is makes

a mockery of sports you'd be

right but I think you have to appreciate

how hard men will try to win when the

rules are against them all right here

are the

rules you can't

win well what if I change some things

like what my penis if I get rid of my

penis can I win well

maybe but here's how I summarize this

entire uh situation over the years uh

women take a backseat men this is our

time men hold my

baton that's all that's the summary that

whole thing was just worked over that

one joke hold my baton that's it yeah

the whole thing was just for that one

joke if it didn't pay off I'm

sorry all right JD Vance is talking

about Ukraine and says funding Ukraine

is crazy because uh they don't have

soldiers and uh we can only make about

10% of the artillery that they'll ever

need so they can never they'll never

have an offensive

option so this is JD Vance's um analysis

they'll never have an offensive option

because they won't have the soldiers

they and there's nobody left they just

don't have enough people left and uh we

can't make more than say 10% of the

artillery they need for the next few

years so He suggests that they use the

Russia strategy which is dig in you know

create defensive lines that the Russians

would be crazy to assault just as the

ukrainians were crazy to assault the

dugin Russian positions now this of

course would lead you toward a

negotiated settlement once you realiz

that neither side can beat the other so

I think JD Vince did a good job

here um by the way what's his background

I know he's an author but what wasn't he

working for Peter

teal JD

Vance do I have that right and what was

what's his educational background

Harvard what was his

major

lawyer so he's a Harvard lawyer

Harvard trained lawyer and then he

worked for Peter

teal oh he was I thought he was a VC

right okay that's what I was looking for

Peter teal vetor capitalist JD Vance

worked for him even though his

background is Harvard lawyer um he no

doubt learned to think like a venture

capitalist and when I look at his

analysis I say to myself holy cow

somebody who knows how to analyze things

just analyze something do you know how

rare that is how rare is that that

somebody who knows how to analyze

something analyes something do you know

who else is good at this Thomas Massie

MIT

engineer when he analyzes something you

say to yourself oh a good analyzer just

analyzed something so you should listen

to that but if you see you know somebody

telling you the moon is made of gas H

maybe don't listen to that

one but you should know who are the ones

who actually know what they're talking

about and if you're trained as an

engineer or a venture capitalist you

probably know how to look at the cost

and the benefits that's what they do

they're trained to same with the uh

economics people so I always say that

people think they know how to analyze

situations but they don't I was going to

name a name but I'm not going to do it

there there's somebody who's

welln on the conservative libertarian

side of things who is very strident in

analyzing the situation in public and

doesn't have any skill at

it and I keep wanting to not be a jerk

and point it

out so I'm not going to name a name but

there there's somebody in the public

domain who is so

unqualified for looking at the big

situations

they just don't have the

skill and uh well you know no it's not

Tucker somebody said is it Tucker you

know what Tucker does Tucker has

humility and that goes a long way see if

you agree when he's right of course he's

you know can be cocky when he when he

knows he's right but tuu will be the

first person to tell you what he doesn't

understand that goes the long way for

credibility am I right when when there's

something he doesn't understand like you

know the Deep economics of something or

he'll just tell you I don't know why

this is the thing this is all I know I'm

just watching like you are so the thing

about Tucker is that he he talks about

the news like he was watching it at

home but better than you right because

he's smarter

um so and that's real valuable that's

sort of what I try to do I try to watch

it like I'm watching at home with you

but that I can add maybe some you know

analytical things just cuz I'm trained

to do it if you're not trained to do it

you think you can but you can't so I'm

not going to name names but you'll

you'll notice them anyway JD Vance app

apparently is trained to do this Thomas

Massie apparently is trained to look at

complicated pictures and see both sides

so pay attention to them give them a

little more attention if you see

somebody who has a background that

doesn't include those

skills take that into

consideration

um all

right ladies and

gentlemen Scott you're confusing JD

Vance with Blake

Masters well I read today that he worked

for Peter teal did I get that

wrong give me a fact check before I go

because that's a good that's a really

good

question did I get that wrong because I

think they both worked for Peter

teal give me a fact check on

that I I don't want to get something

that important wrong so make

sure okay yes all right so they both

work for repeater teal so I'm not

confusing

them yeah they both work for teal

I think that's all we need all right uh

ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say uh

some more words to the locals people so

they're going to stay on here but the

rest of you will be seeing me

tomorrow all right see you tomorrow

everybody else locals stick with

me
