Episode 2446 CWSA 04/16/24

and see how we do we can try it with the right date this time do you know how many times I have to write the date I have to write the date five times every morning the only one I had to type was the one I got wrong of course well now that you're all here how would you like to do a show I think you'd love it well welcome to coffee with Scott Adams the highlight of human civilization if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand all you need for that is a CER muger glass a terer chel and Stein a canteen jger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine head of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous zip wow what a show it's going to be go oh that's so good looks like I'm only seeing comments from oh there we go You.

Tube comments everything's working just the way it's supposed to all right here's some uh quick hits before we get to all the political stuff that you want to talk about um if you're not watching the uh the show of uh Prince of fakes bri.

a br y.

a he's uh sort of publicly developing a sex toy that's going to work with AI so you can swipe left until you get the you get the AI personality of your choice I guess male or female and then there's a device which I won't describe in great detail but just say it's uh it's meant for your your fun bits so you can uh have a conversation with the AI while you're uh getting stimulated now here's what's funny about it as soon as I bring up this topic most of you just went nuts I don't even have to see you to know half of you just want I can't handle it there's a sex toy and it's going to have ai and it's going to replace people and that's the fun part of the story the fun part of the story is watching the public reaction to one individual who has the skills to create not only the sextoy but the AI interface such that he might be able he might be replacing human reproduction now if you don't think that this has a genuine possibility of destroying humankind you're missing the show because it does it actually could be a replacement for like human sex it could now not for everybody of course but for the 80% of people who are not exactly optimizing their sex life this could be quite a quite a uh a risk to civilization itself anyway you have to watch the uh the just freaked out comments and uh you have to watch all of the comments to the comments because Brian is hilarious in how he is dealing with the comments so you got to watch that show all right there's a report from University of Sydney that AI can write a poem and edit your video and and now it can make you funnier do you think that AI can now make you funnier they did a test of a caption contest where they had the AI help people write captions for uh cartoons and then they had them graded and the ones where AI helped were better now here's what's missing from that do you know how an average Aver person does in a caption contest where you're adding the funny caption to a a comic the average person on a scale of 1 to 10 is producing something like a one or a two let's say 10 is commercial grade humor the average person can do a one or a two if you add the ai ai is good with word play it'll give you a word play dad joke that's definitely better than a one or a two it might be all the way up to a five might be a five and a 10 but it is nowhere near Commercial gr humor um and in my experience I've played with a bunch of AIS just to see what they know about humor they don't even know how it works if you ask them to even describe why something's funny you get the worst descriptions you've ever seen so it doesn't it's not even close on humor all right here's some more things that maybe you could have just asked me but science is confirming that loneliness can kill and middle-aged Americans are particularly vulnerable why do you think middle-aged Americans are the loneliest versus let's say Europe do you think it's density is it is it just that we have the option of living alone so we take it whereas if you didn't have the option you know you had to have roommates or you had to live with your family or you had to live with your parents or something I feel like it's because we have the option oh maybe divorce yeah maybe divorce as well yeah probably divorce I'll throw that in as well we have different Norms about divorce here it's probably that yep but uh I would say that loneliness does in fact qualify as one of our biggest health problems along with our food supply being completely poisoned and I don't know that anybody has an idea for dealing with it so let me tell you here's how you deal with loneliness and it's the only way you create natural ways that people can be in groups to do group activities nothing else Works once you're an adult you don't just make friends hey you seem nice let's be friends and we can hang out that almost never happens in the real world what does happen is you join a uh a botch League and then you get to know some of the other botchy players and then you say hey I got a botchy Court come over and play you know practice of my place and then you can do something but you have to have at least some activity in common or it just doesn't work for adults the number way number one way that adults make friends is the parents of their children's friends that's like the number one way and that works great by the way so if you don't have that going for you it's hard to make friends so more activities we need something that would get normal people out of the house and in any kind of a group doing any kind of a thing uh more evidence that weight training improves your anxiety and depression in old people how how many times do you have to see a study that shows that exercise is better than uh therapy and meds it's just every time now you know I always tell you don't don't believe studies because studies are sort of a coin flip but if all of the studies are in the same direction and it's been years well that probably does mean something so I'm pretty sure that weight training does improve anxiety and depression and by the way my biggest BS filter is that if science claims something but you don't observe it in person it's probably not real but you do observe it anybody who's ever done weight training knows they feel better when they're done do you agree is that observably obviously true to all of you that when you do exercise or weight training your mental state is just immediately improved it's kind of obvious now how many of you have had this experience there be somebody in your circle who says I'm very depressed and I'm thinking of getting professional help and then you say you know before you do that and that might be necessary I don't want to poo poo the professional help but before you do that would you consider doing the thing that works every time which is exercise well I'm thinking of you know this or that therapist I feel like you didn't even hear the sentence I just said did you hear me say that if you just exercise you might get more benefits than that thing that you're planning so I'm looking for a recommendation now I feel like you didn't even hear the words that came out of my voice out of my mouth have you had that conversation where people can't even hear it so I think there must be something about being in that situation where you also can't hear obvious Solutions not complete Solutions but something that would help anyway just an observation people can't hear that advice here's another one should have asked Scott they did a study of weight loss for obese women that were not very active and they said uh some of them eat a big breakfast they all ate big breakfast breakfasts but some of them uh ate a lot of carbs and some of them a lot of carbs and protein and the others did a strict low carb diet what do you think was better um the big breakfast high in protein and carbs or the strict low carb diet they could have asked me because if you do protein first you always do better so here's what I wrote in my book out of failed almost everything and still wi big that's now second edition you can get it is that what matters with diets is whether you can stick to them and everything else doesn't matter it's it's also true with exercise if you say what matters with exercises that I do it and what matters with the diet is that whichever one I pick I can I can make it work so it's the psychological part that we get wrong not the how to do it right you you could figure out how to exercise it's not the hardest thing in the world you could figure out how to eat right but the doing it the motivation the actual the mental part is the hard part so that's the part I teach and how to failed almost everything and still went big I teach you how to beat the mental part and then the physical part becomes almost trivial if you get the mental part right but here's what I tell you if you can't do anything else right if you're hungry look for a protein that's my trick so that's the mental trick if you're hungry look for protein if you think that hungry means whatever you put in your mouth satisfies your hunger you won't do well because carbs tend to be more available so if you just convince yourself the hunger equals protein or good fats you know like a good avocado is good too you'll just do better just protein first protein protein protein if you can afford it of course um here's another one maybe you should have asked me turns out they did a big study about uh gender dysphoria in young people and turns out that the puberty blockers and hormone treatments for gender transition is not uh is not backed up by any kind of quantitative science whatsoever in ter terms of whether the people are happier after it's done how many people are surprised by that could have asked me and by the way if the science had said the opposite you would still handle it the same way you get that right so so there apparently there's no strong evidence or not even weak evidence that uh that these early interventions for the gender dysphoria uh is likely to turn out well but suppose they did have evidence suppose hypothetically just as a mental experiment suppose the science indicated that 2third of the kids who wanted to transition as kids uh were glad they did now that's not the case but just imagine if it were the case would that be a strong case to transition children no no no that absolutely would not be strong case to transition children if onethird of them would be worse off and children can't make decisions it just makes sense to wait you know because you can't make that decision for them that's that's the hard part so I think even if the science were the other way still would make sense to wait now I get that you know there's some argument if you started early You' get a better outcome but I don't think that's a strong enough argument so you could have just asked me about every one of these things about the weight training I would have told you about the diety protein I would have told you about maybe it's not a good idea to transition kids I would have told you that and about the AI that can write humor uh I would have told you that that's fake and it can't write humor so there are four scientific studies that literally literally you could just asked me now I think you could have asked most of you as well yeah how many of you are surprised by any of that no none of you right I'll bet there was not one thing I said that you didn't also know before the science all right here's the funniest story uh so the California Senate Judiciary Committee so now they've approved a bill um so I guess this has to be voted for but it would be ail to create uh some kind of uh mechanism to figure out which descendants of slavery live in California because they want the black residents of California who are but only the ones descended from some kind of slave situation in America um they want them to be eligible for reparations but first we have to figure out if they can be identified so the first thing they're going to do is see if they can use a genetic kind of uh process to check the genes of uh Californians to find out who's eligible now here's the fun part it's the math are you ready for this this will be the this will be the funniest thing you've heard today if you has everybody heard this story yet it's going to be the funniest thing you hear today you ready California has about 6.5% black residents suppose half of them can prove that they're descended from slaves so you'd have you know 3.25 but there are 72% uh White Citizens in California how many of the White Citizens will show up having DNA that connects back to slavery as in they have a relative who was a descended from slaves and the answer is it doesn't have to be a very large percentage because it's being uh that percentage would be against the 72% of citizens who are white so there is a very good possibility not yet confirmed that there will be more white people in California who would get reparations for slavery legitimately legitimately because they would actually be descended from slaves uh that there would be numerically more of them than the number of black citizens who could also prove that they were descended from slaves so is that perfect or is that perfect does it seem like I'm totally in control of the simulation at this point does it look to you like reality is starting to conform to what I would have written as a joke it's a little too on the nose isn't it I I think it's reality I think I mean I've lost all sense of reality but I think it's real but what could be more perfect than that now this this is the beauty of the go go study it I can tell you as a person whose job it was in Corporate America to go study stuff that was what I did it's like hey we don't know if we want to do this financial thing go study it we don't know if we want to replace this you know Network equipment go study it it's as soon as you you go study stuff you you get a lot of surprises and and this is one of them now I would not have predicted this specific surprise but I would have predicted surprises meaning that as soon as you started studying it it doesn't look like what you think it is so here's the other surprise if they did a legitimate calculation they would have to net it out because you would have to net out other things that were you know advantages to Black Americans you'd have to compare it to you know the people who were not slaves who stayed in Africa if you did an actual analysis of what is Ed I'm not even sure which way it would go you might find that descendants of slaves owe money to white Americans if you actually did the math now if you did it correctly now I don't think there's any intention to do it correctly but if you did it correctly it might be opposite of what you think don't know well Mark Zuckerberg is not going to be legally responsible for kids being hooked on Instagram I guess there are 25 cases along those lines and uh it's all uh dismissed because it's not a standard that America accepts that the CEO is going to be personally responsible for that sort of thing so it's more like it was dismissed not because the kids did not get addicted so that wasn't the question all right I got to see what this little image says Okay um so anyway that's happening all right here here's another funny story so where was this an axios I think um that there's an insect Armageddon coming from climate change so the uh research surveyed so this is a CL climate change alarm story now I want you to see if you think that the alarm is changing nature here's what we used to worry about climate change is going to drown us all now that's pretty scary climate change is already killing the polar bears well I don't know if that'll affect me directly but they're big old mammals and it bothers me when mammals are dying so that's scary the hurricanes are going to kill us all from the climate change but turns out the Hurricanes aren't any worse than there um and the we won't be able to grow food but doesn't seem to be a problem yet so they're looking for new problems to scare us and researchers at the University of Colorado uh Boulder um they studied 12 ant species and they found that the ants in Gregory Canyon um have uh some of them have moved on to other environments because they say it was too warm probably climate change so we went from you're all going to drown and your food supply be fried and the polar bears are already dying and you're next to we're now concerned that some subspecies of ants will relocate oh no oh oh no I I I wasn't worried about climate change until you told me that some of these several species of ants might relocate no no not relocating ants no the climate uh the climate narrative has completely collapsed now I don't know if everybody knows it yet but I'm telling it completely collapsed and it was the uh the pandemic that did it you know I've said it before but I'll I'll keep reminding you the public argument in other words the part that the public understood was that all the climate scientists were on the same side that's all we had because we don't do the science and I can't check the science I don't know how to check the science so it's all we had and now we know that that's ridiculous and was never a real reason and that the experts can absolutely all be on the same side very easily as long as that's where the money is on my uh my locals Community where you have to be a subscriber to see the good stuff I did a uh what I call a micro lesson I've got over 200 micro lessons two minutes I teach you something or reframe that you didn't know so they're all they're all designed to make your life better like just watch it for 2 minutes and then you go oh I got a new life skill so one of the life skills is how to explain to somebody uh why those climate models are a BS now if you look at a climate model you if you visualize it you know there are dozens if not hundreds of climate models and you know that they like to draw it in a in sort of a wide band there's like well all the models conform to sort of this band and they all seem to be hockey sticking up and there's so many models that are in the same you know range and they'll show that the problem is going to be in the future much worse so therefore it's believable because they're all in the same range and you might call that range the the probability zone or the probability band you know the the place that probably were going to be within that that band here's another way to think of that band that's the paycheck band if you created a climate model that did not fall within that band that they've already decided is the narrative you couldn't get paid and it turns out that it's expensive to build and maintain a climate model it's not something you could do in an afternoon and once you build it you have to tweak it forever because the data is always changing you're getting smarter you found out something your model didn't hindcast anymore something like that so you're always it's like an expensive thing so in order to get a budget to maintain your climate model you've got to make sure that your model is within that narrow band otherwise you don't get a paycheck there is nothing scientific about that they simply told all the scientists make sure your data is in this narrow band or you can't get paid and they all know it so if you have if the only conclusions are the ones you can get paid for how do you expect anybody to produce a model that's outside that band that can never happen in the real world in the real world they all have to be inside that narrow band or else they discard the model so if somebody came up with one if they found a way to fund one and it didn't fit the model and they produced it what would happen they would be mocked down of climate science because their model is not within the narrow band that everybody is sure is the true one you just can't you can't you can't get out of that band now you might say but Scott you're no climate scientist so why are you even weighing in on this climate stuff to which I say I'm an economist I my background is economics I have a MBA so I know business and economics and I know that if you describe this situation where the only way you could get paid just to make sure that your data with within this narrow band and then you also knew because you studied economics that you can make a projection fit anything you want just keep tweaking things until it fits uh oh it was just a little alarm sounded got a low battery somewhere I think all right you're going to hear that again at about 15 seconds beep so anyway that's why climate models are BS um so it looks like Maine is going to be the latest to join this interstate effort I wasn't paying much attention to that would say that the state would give all of its um electoral votes in a presidential election would give them all to whoever got the most votes in the whole country so basically it would be doing away with the electoral system without doing away with it so they' keep it but they'd make it irrelevant by just giving all the votes whoever won the popular vote in the country now you can tell that the only purpose of this is to put Democrats in charge forever right because there there are more of them and the only way Republicans ever win is if they they win in the key Battleground places so they're trying to take the one advantage that Republicans have to ever win they're trying to add 10 million people to the voting roles mostly Democrats the the migrants and uh changing the rules at the same time so I remind you that we don't have and we haven't lived in anything like a republic or a Democratic Republic or a Democratic federal republic whatever we're called for a long long time it's all about the rules so whoever changes the rules counts the votes decides who can run who can be in the primary those are the things that decide who the president we we're a long way away from the voters will deciding the presidency and and I think we should stop teaching it to kids really I think we should stop lying to children and say we have we have this system where people vote and you know your vote matters your vote doesn't matter your vote doesn't matter at all all that matters is which rules get implemented before the vote if it's one-sided rules you can tell who's going to win if the other set of rules you can tell who's the other's going to win it's the rules so whoever controls the rules decides who's in power and that's not you all right um so there's some effort to prevent uh new residents from voting um and obviously that's the reason for the bringing in all the uh illegal people is to affect the election all right nearly two-thirds of American voters believe the situation along the border is an invasion 64% oh my God anyway we already knew that um let's see so Rasmus did a poll and asked uh would you cheat to win uh in the 2024 election so voters were asked would you cheat to win 28% said yes 28% uh now it wasn't actually wasn't that different between the Democrats and the Republicans so don't get all cocky it was about a quarter roughly a quarter um yeah roughly a quarter with sheet now given that um all of Democrats believe that Trump is Hiller because they been told that do you think that one in four being willing to cheat so let's say they're willing so so they're able so they have the opportunity if if one in four were willing to cheat that would be enough people willing to cheat who are running elections which you agree if it's true that one and four would be willing to cheat certainly the people who handle the actual security for an election probably one and four there's no reason to think that the people managing the elections have a you know lower rate of being willing to cheat so if you had a system in which one in four told you they'd be willing to cheat and then you also knew they had the opportunity because we have elections that can't be fully audited so they have the willingness and the opportunity but do they have the the motivation well yes they do because the news has been telling them that Trump is Hitler and then on the Republican side they look at Biden and he looks like he's Hitler so you got two groups that both think the other one is a fascist you know dictator Hitler of course they have a reason so they get the motivation they have said they're willing in enough numbers and they certainly have the opportunity if they're managing elections so do you think there's any chance that elections are fair if a quarter of the people involved would be willing to cheat and they've got the best reason ever we're stopping Hiller and you see them acting like this in person you know like the uh the CEO of NPR who's getting a lot of heat this week if you look at her posts it does look like she'd be willing to cheat because she would believe that she was saving the country if I thought I could save the country I'd cheat wouldn't you if you thought you were literally saving the country I'd cheat because I'd rather save the country of course so to to imagine that our elections are fair is it's kind of laughable in 2024 you know which is not to say that I have specific information about any cheating I don't I don't um well here's one of my themes today which is maybe some limits have been reached limits of patience for example uh John Cougar melan Camp was giving a Show recently and uh he managed to say something Pro Biden and was unable to finish the show because he got booed off the stage and ended up just quitting he he just walked off so apparently some kind of limit has been reached with the public where if you go on stage in public and act like everybody's on the same page and hey you know Biden's the greatest and Trump is the devil then you're not going to finish your show you you have to go home after that he had to go home yeah so the uh apparently the Republicans and maybe Independents in the audience said no we came here for music if you're going to give us that go home and then he had to go home they sent him home basically good there's a story about RFK Jr who said that uh some Trump allies asked him to be VP now the word he used was not allies but the headline says allies he said Emissary so that some Trump emissaries were feeling him out of being about being Trump's vice president let me tell you how to interpret that it wasn't trump it wasn't Trump you have to understand that if if somebody says it was his allies or his emissaries it wasn't Trump now what I call I call this the fantasy politics season here are two things that are pure fantasy politics Michelle Obama is going to replace Biden is never going to happen in the real world ever but we can't stop talking about it because it's fantasy politics wouldn't that be interesting RFK Jr as the VP for a republican is the same thing that's Pure Fantasy politics there isn't any chance that Trump would have considered a rep a Democrat for a vice president zero chance that's Pure Fantasy so if in fact some emissaries or some allies were feeling RFK Jr out about it they they may have acted like it was more serious than it really was because if they could get him to say yes then they could go to Trump and say you know it's not hypothetical he would say yes so I think the Allies were trying to make something happen that I can't believe I can't believe for a second that Trump would have taken seriously because it would have been a huge mistake you agree right it would be a gigantic mistake to just put a Democrat on as a vice president I mean it's just it's just fantasy politics it's not things that could happen in the real world so no I don't think there's any evidence whatsoever that Trump was flirting with RFK Jr as vice president now if you said would he flirt with him as an attorney general or as some kind of role to fix our food supply I say yes because I think those people I think they have a sufficient level of respect for each other that if the if the fit was right yes I think so I I'm not predicting it but you could imagine him having a role in the administration but not VP that would be crazy uh axio says us is on the rate to see the lowest levels of violent crimes and homicides since Obama was an office that's axios does anybody believe that do you believe that violent crime is for some reason taking a a plunge well it might be but do we believe any statistics or is it more likely they change the way they're recording the statistics or something like that you know the other possibility is I wonder if all the the people who were shootable already got killed do you ever wonder about that like let's say murder just became way more common wouldn't you fairly quickly reach the limit of the number of people who are worth shooting like what if you just run out of people who are worth murdering because you know most of the murder is people who know each other like you probably know somebody you'd be willing to kill but you know just one like if I if I said to you I I know you're against murder but let's just say hypothetically you had a magic button and you could make just one person die and nobody would know it was you it just you just have to pick one person who's so bad in your personal Circle you just think that's better off the world's better off as they're dead would you push the button well some of you would and I actually wonder if all the people were worth killing already already got killed for example a lot of people who get killed are themselves just monsters you know they people who have killed other people they've H other people and then you they went too far and somebody killed them so iway it's just a question whether the the stats are wrong could it be something that happened with policing this different um or could it be that everybody worth killing just got killed so you ran out of people who are worth killing anyway uh where I live in my County there's a DA called Pamela price who's one of these Soros funded prosecutors a black woman and uh I I've never seen anything political in my town until this meaning that you rarely are going to see like a a campaign sign in anybody's lawn you know I I don't know why but where I live it's just a very non-political place there's there's not going to be any um nobody's going to be protesting in town there aren't going to be any parades for political reasons uh it's just very non-political place but the only thing I've seen a lot of is people collecting signatures to get rid of the uh the da that I've seen a lot and I've signed it so I've signed that petition so they're they're working like all the grocery stores every time you go in a grocery store somebody's there asking you to get rid of Pema price so it looks like they're they're getting close to reaching a a number where they can recall her that might actually happen so it looks like people have reached a limit well here's something that we can't limit the fisa thing is moving along to the Senate and as you know there will be no Provisions saying that um the intelligence people have to get a warrant to look into ordinary Americans so now you have lost all 100% of your privacy 100% of your privacy now officially gone because the intelligence people can look into anything you're doing with then a warrant they just have to have some reason that you talk to somebody from another country how often do you talk to somebody from another country it kind of happens a lot if you talk about politics or if you're doing anything that matters in the world it probably is affecting other countries and you've got some ongoing conversation how hard would it be for the intelligence people to say okay you talk to somebody another country and it's just sort of some business person but oh hello we can make a connection between that business person who is just ordinary business and uh they've got a brother-in-law who's part of the the Communist party so you got the Communist Party you got the brother-in-law you got this guy in another country that's good enough to watch the guy in the other country oh well if you're making a phone call with an American we have to see both sides and then they can get anything they want on you so basically all privacy now completely gone so the government can look at whatever they want without without a warrant now you could argue that you never had any privacy because it's easy to get a war which would be a pretty good argument but now don't even have that little tiny little Safeguard they can just do whatever they want apparently so there's that there's a company that can make you into your own digital clone fairly easily deac Chopra who is 77 he has already got a little clone and apparently for some uh monthly fee there's a company called Deli that will let you create your first your own digital clone now I'm not sure if I will create mine using this particular app but as you know it has long been my plan long before AI was practical for I know decades I've been telling you that as soon as it gets here going to create a digital version of myself so I'll look into this one but this might be it so what I imagine in maybe a year is if you go to dilbert.com instead of having to read all the text about where my work is and where you can find it you could just call it my bot say hey Scott where can I find your comic oh well you can look at it on the uh the xplatform if you subscribe to me or the locals platform it's Scott items.

locals or you could buy my books reframe your brain and it will just answer all your questions maybe even look for reprints you want a license and everything else so one year or less um I should have that up and running well of course Trump's in that stormy Stormy Daniels uh paying paying to shutter up case that's so confusing that uh V did a video was 2 minutes and 40 seconds explaining the complic ations of that trial and why it's all Bs and lawfare now if you saw it and it's easy to find just for look for V and uh his video on law fair and stormmy Daniels it'll pop right up here's why I would recommend you watch it it's a complicated situation which V explains perfectly like really summarizes it just perfectly but that's not why you should watch it you should watch it because I'm pretty sure now I don't know this for sure I think he did it with one take watch it again just watch it again and ask yourself did he do that with one take without notes because it doesn't look like he's reading it I think he did that with one take you have to see it like we're not used to this like we we just don't see this one take for that it's crazy it's just crazy I don't think he I don't think he stumbled over a word 2 minutes and 41 seconds of talking about a super complicated thing off the top of his head incredible anyway you got see it Elon Musk also weighed in and said it was you know obviously Corruption of justice and lawfare and of course that makes news um and then Jack babek reminds us that in 2022 Hillary Clinton quietly settled a campaign Finance violation about the the steel dossier and who funded it and whether was quote Legal Services she paid a fine and was never arrested and Jack says that's the same thing Trump is on trial for now so you got V saying this is a Corruption of the system you got Elon musk saying this is an obvious Corruption of Justice you've got Hillary Clinton who wasn't arrested for some version of the same crime and even Rachel mat asked this question of her audience uh why are we still talking about something about the 2016 election why why is that even a thing it's not about the 2020 election it's not about 2024 the Stormy Daniels thing is about 2016 why are we caring about that well um as Eric abinanti responded to Rachel mow on X it's because the left is blatantly weaponizing the justice system to take out their top opponent the only reason it's a thing is because it's bad for Trump do you think Rachel madow doesn't know that that the only reason it exists is because it's bad for Trump and that the corrupt the system is completely corrupt well it gets better so they're picking the jurors for this trial and the jurors are being asked you know if they're biased or if they could be impartial apparently 50 prospective jurors were dismissed for saying they can't be fair and impartial about Trump but eventually they will find people who said they can be fair and impartial about Trump in other words the only people on the jury will be Liars I'm not making that up because obviously nobody's impartial about Trump can we all agree on that literally nobody unless they haven't been paying attention and then they're too stupid to be on a jury if somebody doesn't have a strong opinion about Trump you don't want them anywhere near a jury because they're so lame that they can't you know probably find their way home so you either have the stupidest people in the world or the biggest liar and that's our system of justice and by the way they're doing it right in front of you right in front of you do do you think any of you believe that they're going to find impartial jurors nobody believes that nobody believes that not a single citizen of the United States not a Democrat not a republican nobody and yet they're going to do it anyway what's up with that it's exactly what it looks like it's complete corruption and it's so blatant that they can do it right in front of you now um a lot of people are saying and I think I agree with it so far that uh it's all good for Trump because every day he's in trial on what is obviously corruption yeah not on his part but obvious corruption on the part of the Department of Justice that it should help him but I don't think we have really an election that elects who the people want to elect I mean it's obvious that we're we're pretty far from that standard but uh yeah we'll have a jury of idiots and liars and they'll come up with something uh Politico is reporting that uh uh a number of the defendants the January 6 defendants there are 350 of them that are in jail for something like uh obstructing justice and uh interfering with some documents or something now there's one judge a trump appointed judge who's who basically threw out some cases so there are currently people in jail while there are people other people who were accused of exactly the same thing and the judge threw it out as BS basically I think he probably just said it's a protest now the Supreme Court's taking it on as they should because if the Lower Court judges can't even decide if it's a crime or not a crime well that's perfect job for the Supreme Court and I didn't realize just how much they had to torture the law to make any of this illegal so apparently it came out of some Enron law the Enron law was specifically about Enron destroying records so they wanted it to be illegal to destroy records that are part of an official proceeding such as as a court case so does it sound like the January 6 people were destroying records um to interfere with an official proceeding no they were not destroying any records so they had to stretch it from the original intention which of destroying evidence to Simply interfering with an official proceeding because I guess the language of the law is Broad enough that they thought they could get away with that so so were people who were protesting interfering with an official proceeding well yes they were they were intentionally trying to interfere with the professional proceeding but they were specifically trying to improve it which somehow gets left out of the conversation yes they did want to interfere with it to make sure that the system was working not to break the system they wanted to delay to make sure that the the count was accurate and they just said hey two days and then at the same time Trump was organizing the so-called fake electors but what do we know if Trump's lawyers go to jail for the fake elector scheme what can you determine from that number one that a court said it was illegal to try to organize these fake electors number two the lawyers went to jail for it or not jail Eastman Eastman got disbarred or something so if the lawyers get in trouble for it what does that tell you about Trump let me connect the dots for you if the lawyers got in trouble for it it means that Trump was operating under legal advice under legal advice that's why the lawyers are in trouble so how how in the world does the principal get in trouble for following the advice of lawyers and what and how can you say that that's uh interfering with an official proceeding if the lawyers thought it was legal there there's no indication that Trump thought it was illegal because it all came from his lawyers he didn't make up any of it it was all stuff his lawyers said you know I think we could maybe make this work so the fact that the lawyer ERS are in trouble tells you Trump should not be because it means it was a lawyer organized concept and he just said yes so um so apparently this law is complete BS that they stretched it from some Enron thing into into a slightly delaying a process to improve it so they went from destroying records that would be NE necessary in a court case very bad to protesting and using your first amendment but too aggressively you know the trespassing was over the line and to improve a process publicly transparently they wanted to transparently and publicly improve a process that appeared to them to be broken at the moment and they're going to they're going to try to torture that until you should be in jail and they are in jail so what's going to happen if the Supreme Court rules that all of these people who are in jail for um these charges these obstruction of justice charges what happens if they all get freed what does that do to the narrative well as uh Politico points out that's not necessarily going to mean Trump is off the hook because Trump um or was part of organizing these fake electors whereas the protesters didn't organize any fake electors so this Enron rule about you know falsifying documents and stuff they're going to torture that thing into falsifying and destroying documents as the same as getting a fake slate of electors which by the way we know from the documentation at the time was to preserve their legal challenge it was just to preserve the legal challenge basically just the legal strategy so I don't think that's that's such a thin such a thin charge it seems to me if the 350 people get out even though they're not exactly in the same situation as Trump that the whole obstruction of justice thing is going to look like BS for Trump too that the that the the glow from the Supreme Court kicking out the other cases should should end up giving Trump a little Advantage um yeah so right now we're watching protesters uh block Bridges you know the the anti-israel protesters but the people who are blocking bridges are they um are they stopping some kind of a legal process are they stopping a legal legal process or just traffic so they're probably okay because it's just traffic but suppose suppose you were a suppose it was a Republicans who were doing it do you think they could torture the law to turn it into a crime sure they'll say somebody on that bridge was going to a official to some official event and you stop them from doing it so you stop the government for working so you got to go to jail you obstructed Justice somehow I know I feel like they could torture anything into anything at this point so speaking of those people on the on the bridges um did you see that Tom Cotton Senator Tom Cotton said that the citizens should take matters into their own hands and don't wait for the police basically he was in favor of uh getting out of your car and dragging people out of the road now I would stop he didn't say violence he did not say violence people sort of read that between the lines but he didn't say that he said take matters into your own hands I think take matters into your own hands should be limited to physically dragging them out of the way which I agree with does it seem to you that some kind of limit has been reached yes I think the Supreme Court's going to find the limit on the obstruction of justice stuff and reverse it I think Tom con is telling people to take matters into their own hands I think maybe they will I don't know you're seeing some stories in the Press of people taking matters into their own hands more than you expected maybe that's a thing and uh generally everywhere you look there's something like a limit that's been reached now I'll say it again because as part of our fantasy politics Democrats like to talk about the day that Trump goes to jail so that that's their fantasy politics and I want to say as clearly as possible because Clarity really helps you know the one thing that can get you in serious trouble is not understanding the room like if you do something you don't think it's going to cause a revolution but then it does because you didn't understand the room let me explain the room Trump in court is very very bothersome like his supporters don't like it at all but so far they can handle it meaning they think he'll probably Prevail so they don't need to get involved but if Trump goes to jail for one day all bets are off now I never I never recommend violence of course so don't do anything violent or illegal but I'm just saying that the social contract will be gone at that point and in my opinion it should be at that point all options are on the table I don't recommend violence but all options would be on the table so if the Democrats want to push it to the breaking point that's the breaking point and I want to be as clear as possible about that one day in jail is going to make me feel like you put me in jail if you put Trump through the legal process it feels like that's about Trump if you put him in jail for one day one hour one hour that's personal because I know they're going to do it to me and I would say that I would pull out um I would I would remove all controls at that point at that point there wouldn't be anything I wouldn't be willing to do the social contract would be gone I don't recommend violence I'm just saying that whatever you thought was the limit on other people's behavior 1 hour in jail the limit will be gone and I can't predict what happens after that if you want if you want that situation complete unpredictability put him in jail for one hour you're not going to like it you're definitely not going to like it but again no violence all right uh there's an NGO in Mexico that's handing out flyers to tell people that they need to to vote for Joe Biden once they come to this country illegally so that uh more illegal people can be led into the country like them so yeah it's exactly what you thought that the migration situation is a political process and uh I think we're done with it I think we've reached the limit you know what else we've reached the limit to I feel there's a very high chance that the election will be RI and really obviously and really right in front of us I'm not sure we're going to be able to put up with it this time I mean there was a protest last time that turned into you know the Insurrection but I don't think you want to do it this time I I feel like this time things would go differently and I don't think that people would be dumb enough to attack the capital or anything like that but don't do it right in front of us don't make it obvious I mean I think the limit has been reached so ran is talking about they have some secret weapon unspecified which is just a good thing to say if you think you're going to get attacked we don't know if Israel yet is going to make a direct attack on Iran but there's a lot of talk about that and some say that secret weapon could be a a nuclear dirty bomb well here's what I know for sure if Iran ever used a nuclear dirty bomb anywhere I'm pretty sure we'd have to put him out of business would you agree like that would be a a limit that would be the limit the limit is if you if you nuke anything you can't be a country anymore at least with the leadership they have so I I love the Iranian people um if you're lucky enough to know any you know anybody who was born and raised in Iran I think you'd agree with me amazing people amazing people just the the nicest warmest friendliest smart usually well educated you know looking to make a difference kind of people so the Iranian people are amazing and I definitely don't want to get in a fight with them but their leadership might make themselves a Target if they did a dirty bomb um so here's what here's what I think the Israel's options are now now I remind you that I don't support Israel um because the ADL has labeled me a holocaust denier obviously I'm not a holocaust denier but the ADL of course is not uh directly reporting to Israel they're a separate American entity uh however that's not my problem because Israel could turn them off if they want to they would just have to disavow them and it'd be hard for them to raise money so given that the ADL is um a a uh an enemy of mine um I I can't support Israel while the ads after me is that fair and and trust me I understand that they're separate entities but I don't care that's not my problem so anyway so I'm not supporting Israel I'm just dis describing their options uh option one there will never be a better time to do a decapitation strike on Iran I'm not recommending it I'm not recommending it I'm saying if they ever wanted to there'll never be a better chance because they've got a free punch right now it's a free punch if they go too far this would be the only time they could come back from that because too doesn't look the same as it did before October 7th does it what you would have considered as going too far on October 6 would not look like too far today so and if time goes by and let's say things normalized it would be impossible to take out their leadership and think you could get away with it but in the context of having them funding October 7th everybody assumes it seems obvious um and the ongoing attacks Hezbollah you know continues to send missiles and that's Iranian backed and Hamas is not giving up the hostages Iran Iranian backed and then Iran did that massive missile and drone attack on Israel which fortunately was mostly thwarted but under that context Israel can take out the um the leadership of Iran and probably no other time that could have been possible so if they don't do it I doubt they'll ever get another chance because everything that's happening now is just so unique it just doesn't it's not likely they'll ever get another shot so again not recommending it but if it happened don't be surprised and it would be the only time they could get away with it uh also they could get away with it because Biden is so weak um again that's more of an impression uh it might be that the Biden Administration is plenty tough and I don't know you maybe they're playing it right I don't know but he's perceived his weak and probably perceived as a lame duck in the sense that it doesn't look like he would win if you're if you're outside the country you probably think he's not going to win so if you got a weak president and uh then the other fact is that Israel in my opinion has already spent their Holocaust chip so what they're doing in Gaza will forever be called by their enemies as a genocide and that just essentially kneecaps the whole Holocaust narrative that has been so useful up to now now if you going to give away your biggest asset the Holocaust narrative you want to make sure you got your money's worth and so far I don't think they have if if the only thing they've done is uh get aggressive super aggressive with Gaza then they spent their chip and I don't know if they got anything back and if they rebuild Gaza the way it was then they gave it away for nothing they got nothing they'll just recreate the problem so you don't spend your greatest asset and get nothing the only thing that would be worth that expense was would be to take um Iran out as a risk in the future yeah I don't mean destroy the country that would be very very bad but a leadership decapitation strike maybe um or if they don't do that here would be the other way to go if you wanted to go psychological rather than kinetic I think Israel should say look the the reason we have this problem is Iran if Iran were not funding all these entities none of this would be happening so Iran owns the uh the people who have been displaced the Gaza residents just say here's the deal Iran you can feed them all you want and we'll open up the corridor so Iran if you want to feed them you you broke Gaza we didn't break it we just did what we had to do but you but you did things that were optional Israel did what it had to do because everybody knows self-defense is legitimate right um but Iran didn't have to do with they did which is funding the militants ETC so Iran is the one that broke it they're the one that broke Gaza so I think they should take all of the residents uh into Iran proper they they should open the door and say all right we ruined your country Gaza so now you can live here and we'll keep you alive until you you get settled so I think that's what Israel should do they should demand that Iran take their IES and all the families and everybody that they everybody whose life they destroyed by funding Hamas so the trouble is is Israel is allowing they're allowing this situation to be reframed as Israel destroyed Gaza that's not exactly what's happening Iran destroyed Gaza by funding a situation which guaranteed Gaza would be destroyed Israel is just doing their part they're they're doing the autom a atic part well if you do this to us it's kind of automatic that this is going to happen so I think they can make the case that uh ran should be feeding and clothing and doing the health care for everybody who's displaced and they should be the permanent settlement for all of them and that that would be the fair and only thing that could work the only thing that wouldn't work is rebuilding Gaza and repopulating it like it used to be that's the only you can't do and and by the way everybody's pretending like that's the only thing that will happen like the International Community is still pretending this like this is like fantasy politics again uh I saw Bill Amman this was a while ago a few weeks ago he said you know maybe Gaza could become the real model City that's rebuilt and the Gaza residents are are put back in and not only do they go back but it's a better situation it's like a model you know amazing City you built with modern wonders and stuff to which I say that's fantasy Israel's never going to let the the uh their enemies repopulate who who thinks that's going to happen so so there's this whole fantasy you know belief about this two State situation none of that's going to happen that's like Michelle Obama being president and RFK Jr being selected to be vice president for Trump this is Pure Fantasy yeah there they're not going to rebuild Gaza the way it was so you got to find something else there's a story that says uh that Larry Fink the CEO of Black Rock uh quote melted down on some kind of uh earnings call and it was over ESG and I guess black rocks losing money because people are pulling their funds because of ESG specifically let's see who did it specifically um there was the the Texas permanent School fund pulled 8 and a half billion from their management that kind of hurts imagine having one entity pull over8 billion out of your fund over over ESG so now the report was that Larry fin quote melted down but I heard an audio of it and it didn't sound all that melty down to me he did sound stressed but I wouldn't go all the way to melt it down he he was just being quite uh let's say assertive in his opinion he wasn't too happy about it but melted down n melted down is a whole different standard I wouldn't I wouldn't say he melted down RFK Jr explains to us why uh NATO is so hell bent on expansion now you remember follow the money explains everything and do you remember when you were confused about why why do we need NATO to be every country when Russia it's like the main thing they don't want like Russia says there's just one thing we definitely don't want just don't grow NATO okay and we can make everything else work just that one thing just one thing don't increase NATO so of course we're increasing NATO like crazy and it turns out that there's a financial reason for that are you surprised here's the financial reason as described by RFK Jr which immediately made sense to me like all the everything fell in place when you hear this for the first time you're going to say to yourself are you kidding me if you've never heard this yet or I'm going to tell you in a moment if you've never heard this before and I never had it's the first time I heard it was this morning your head is going to explode you ready for this RFK Jr tells us that if a country goes NATO the first thing that country has to do is buy only NATO type weapons because NATO needs to be interoperable do you see it yet do you know who sells all the NATO approved weapons the United States th this is all about building a weapons building entity and having a good reason for lots of weapons well it's right on the border there with Russia so of course they need lots of weapons but they don't need our weapons well if we make them NATO they need our weapons it it was always about selling them weapons that's all it is you know and then the arguments about you know Putin wanting to roll over Europe probably all complete probably and then Black Rock of course uh and others will get the big contracts to rebuild so Ukraine is not just one thing obviously the CIA wanted it to help them conquer Russia and the energy people wanted the fight so they could take Russia's energy business and the weapons people wanted them to be NATO so they could sell NATO weapons let me say something with uh no ambiguity whatsoever America is the bad guy are you all aware of that you know you know we are the bad guy right like we're really bad like we're so bad it's almost incalculable we might be the worst country that ever lived well Hitler and Stalin and Ma did pretty bad maybe not worse than them or I'll give you a pole pot too but we're in the top 10 I mean the the the we do to other countries just for money is completely morally and ethically bankrupt we're we're probably the most morally and ethically bankrupt country in the history of all countries but does it work kind of you know kind of as long as we have the biggest military we can get rid of all we can do all kinds of stuff so anyway um remember I predicted uh right after Trump lost in 2020 uh I predicted that Trump would look better every day he was out of office and I saw Fox News was reporting on a poll that uh people who remember the years in office of Trump versus Biden 42% remember Trump's years in office as you know basically good mostly good but only 25% think uh Biden is mostly good 25% H 25% of the public thinks that Biden's years are mostly good I think all 25% are on MSNBC did did you see Morning Joe Go full mental illness about Trump today oh my God that guy's got some mental problems that he he's trying to trying to sell us his professional job anyway um meanwhile axios has a scoop that treasury secretary Janet Yellen is preparing fresh sanctions on Iran huh sanctions on Iran who does that remind me of what leader wanted to build a wall and have sanctions on Iran H well it seems that uh Trump was right about everything and now sanctions on Iran looks like a good idea suddenly doesn't it how about those sanctions on Iran and maybe we should build a wall Trump right on everything um then as you know the uh Republicans are talking about how they have to have more observers during election night um so the Republicans think that they need more lawyers and observers to make sure that you have full transparency for the election it's a good idea don't you think what would be your what what kind of complaint could anybody have about that could you even imagine what the complaint would be like why would you why would anybody complain about having extra observers so that way you don't have to wonder if the election was rigged right what wasn't it terrible that all the Republicans said hey I think that election was rigged well you could do away with with most of that by making sure that everywhere there's a Democrat there's also a republican I'll tell you if you told me there was a republican watching every step of the process at the same time as a Democrat I would say you know what a lot of people say there's this system is rigged but if you just tell me there's a Republican and a Democrat watching every vote I'm going to think maybe that system worked but apparently that was not the case apparently there there's quite a bit of pressure to make sure that that there are no Republicans watching who would say such a crazy crazy thing that would obviously oun you as a scoundrel and obviously oun you as somebody who had every intention of rigging an election who in the world would be against transparency and having both a Democrat and a republican looking at every step of the way who could possibly be against that Mark Elias lawyer for the Democrats said for those who can't believe it yes the right-wing groups are suing for the right to harass election workers and voters that's right Mark Elias the guy famous for getting all the rules changes that probably got Biden in elected in the first place is saying that transparency is really just Republicans wanting to hassle and harass the election workers now could we have a show of hands because I know there are a lot of Republicans watching the stream how many of you wake up in the morning and say to yourselves you know there's one thing I like even more than fair elections with great transparency I'd love to go down to an election and just harass a Democrat on Election Day because I can I'm going to sue somebody in fact I want to harass somebody so badly that I'm going to sue for the right to harass people now is that the weakest lawyer argument you've ever heard that transparency is the same thing as harassing he's actually trying to sell that but more importantly he's trying to sell that there should not be transparency he he's the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried I'll bet you Mark Elias knows if there's anything that say imperfect about the elections he would be the one who knows probably more than any single person in the world he'd probably know and he thinks that lack of transparency would be the better way to go at least based on his comments it seems that way aren't they telling us directly they plan to cheat how do you interpret this other than we very much want to cheat and we would hate it if you're watching I I don't even have another way to think of it like I I try to show you both sides of things there's no both sides of this one what is the both sides of transparency lack of transparency no the opposite of transparency is not harassing Democrats the opposite of transparency is non-transparency but he's trying to sell us that the opposite of transparency is harassing that is not that is not an argument that's not even a good try but got nothing else so let me ask you this why when does a lawyer lie when does a lawyer lie now I know you're going to say when their mouth is moving funny but that's not what I'm going for when does a lawyer LIE there's only one there's only one situation in which a lawyer Lies when the truth doesn't work when the truth doesn't work because if the truth worked why would you lie about it because you want you want something that works so a lawyer would have never have a reason to lie when the truth Works am I right is is Mark Elias telling you the truth that this is about harassing Democrats does that sound like the truth to you and if it's not the truth why would a lawyer lie only one reason if he's lying and it looks looks like an obvious lie to us but we can't read his mind but if he's lying there's only one reason because the truth would be bad for him there's no other reason right yeah had to say what his lips are moving you had to say it all right ladies and gentlemen that gives us the conclusion of today's amazing show I'm going to say goodbye to the platforms of Facebook Rumble and X I'm going to stick around for the local subscribers who are special in a good way and uh thanks for joining I'll see you tomorrow all right locals only here we come e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

and see how we do we can try it with the

right date this

time do you know how many times I have

to write the date I have to write the

date five times every

morning the only one I had to type was

the one I got

wrong of course well now that you're all

here how would you like to do a

show I think you'd love it

well welcome to coffee with Scott Adams

the highlight of human civilization if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

all you need for that is a CER muger

glass a terer chel and Stein a canteen

jger flask a vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparallel pleasure the dopamine

head of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous zip wow what a show it's

going to be

go oh that's so

good looks like I'm only seeing comments

from oh there we go YouTube

comments everything's working just the

way it's supposed to all right here's

some uh quick hits before we get to all

the political stuff that you want to

talk

about um if you're not

watching the uh the show of uh Prince of

fakes bri. a br y. a he's uh sort of

publicly developing a sex toy that's

going to work with AI so you can swipe

left until you get the you get the AI

personality of your choice I guess male

or

female and then there's a device which I

won't describe in great detail but just

say it's uh it's meant for your your fun

bits so you can uh have a conversation

with the AI while you're uh getting

stimulated now here's what's funny about

it as soon as I bring up this topic most

of you just went

nuts I don't even have to see you to

know half of you just want I can't

handle it there's a sex toy and it's

going to have ai and it's going to

replace people and that's the fun part

of the story the fun part of the story

is watching the public reaction to one

individual who has the skills to create

not only the sextoy but the AI interface

such that he might be able he might be

replacing human

reproduction now if you don't think that

this has a genuine possibility of

destroying

humankind you're missing the show

because it does it actually could be a

replacement for like human

sex it could now not for everybody of

course but for the 80% of people who are

not exactly optimizing their sex

life this could be quite a quite a uh a

risk to civilization

itself anyway you have to watch the uh

the just freaked out comments and uh you

have to watch all of the comments to the

comments because Brian is

hilarious in how he is dealing with the

comments so you got to watch that show

all right there's a report from

University of Sydney that AI can write a

poem and edit your video and and now it

can make you funnier do you think that

AI can now make you funnier they did a

test of a caption contest where they had

the AI help people write captions for uh

cartoons and then they had them graded

and the ones where AI helped were

better now here's what's missing from

that do you know how an average Aver

person does in a caption contest where

you're adding the funny caption to a a

comic the average person on a scale of 1

to 10 is producing something like a one

or a two let's say 10 is commercial

grade humor the average person can do a

one or a two if you add the ai ai is

good with word play it'll give you a

word play dad joke that's definitely

better than a one or a two it might be

all the way up to a

five might be a five and a 10 but it is

nowhere near Commercial gr humor um and

in my experience I've played with a

bunch of AIS just to see what they know

about humor they don't even know how it

works if you ask them to even describe

why something's funny you get the worst

descriptions you've ever seen so it

doesn't it's not even close on

humor all right here's some more things

that maybe you could have just asked me

but science is confirming that

loneliness can kill and middle-aged

Americans are particularly vulnerable

why do you think middle-aged Americans

are the

loneliest versus let's say

Europe do you think it's

density is it is it just that we have

the option of living alone so we take it

whereas if you didn't have the option

you know you had to have roommates or

you had to live with your family or you

had to live with your parents or

something I feel like it's because we

have the

option oh maybe divorce yeah maybe

divorce as well yeah probably divorce

I'll throw that in as well we have

different Norms about divorce here it's

probably that

yep but uh I would say that loneliness

does in fact qualify as one of our

biggest health problems along with our

food supply being completely

poisoned and I don't know that anybody

has an idea for dealing with it so let

me tell you here's how you deal with

loneliness and it's the only way you

create natural ways that people can be

in groups to do group

activities nothing else Works once

you're an adult you don't just make

friends hey you seem

nice let's be friends and we can hang

out that almost never happens in the

real world what does happen is you join

a uh a botch League and then you get to

know some of the other botchy players

and then you say hey I got a botchy

Court come over and play you know

practice of my place and then you can do

something but you have to have at least

some activity in common or it just

doesn't work for adults the number way

number one way that adults make friends

is the parents of their children's

friends that's like the number one way

and that works great by the way so if

you don't have that going for you it's

hard to make friends

so more activities we need something

that would get normal people out of the

house and in any kind of a group doing

any kind of a

thing uh more evidence that weight

training improves your anxiety and

depression in old people how how many

times do you have to see a

study that shows that exercise is better

than uh therapy and meds it's just every

time now you know I always tell you

don't don't believe studies because

studies are sort of a coin flip but if

all of the studies are in the same

direction and it's been years well that

probably does mean something so I'm

pretty sure that weight training does

improve anxiety and depression and by

the way my biggest BS filter is that if

science claims something but you don't

observe it in person it's probably not

real but you do observe it anybody who's

ever done weight training knows they

feel better when they're done do you

agree is that observably obviously true

to all of you that when you do exercise

or weight training your mental state is

just immediately

improved it's kind of obvious now how

many of you have had this

experience there be somebody in your

circle who says I'm very depressed and

I'm thinking of getting professional

help and then you say you know before

you do that and that might be necessary

I don't want to poo poo the professional

help

but before you do that would you

consider doing the thing that works

every time which is

exercise well I'm thinking of you know

this or that therapist I feel like you

didn't even hear the sentence I just

said did you hear me say that if you

just exercise you might get more

benefits than that thing that you're

planning so I'm looking for a

recommendation now I feel like you

didn't even hear the words that came out

of my voice out of my mouth

have you had that conversation where

people can't even hear

it so I think there must be something

about being in that situation where you

also can't hear obvious Solutions not

complete Solutions but something that

would

help anyway just an observation people

can't hear that

advice here's another one should have

asked Scott they did a study of weight

loss for obese women that were not very

active and they said uh some of them eat

a big breakfast they all ate big

breakfast breakfasts but some of them uh

ate a lot of carbs and some of them a

lot of carbs and protein and the others

did a strict low carb diet what do you

think was

better

um the big breakfast high in protein and

carbs or the strict low carb

diet they could have asked me

because if you do protein first you

always do

better so here's what I wrote in my book

out of failed almost everything and

still wi big that's now second edition

you can get it is

that what matters with

diets is whether you can stick to them

and everything else doesn't matter it's

it's also true with

exercise if you say what matters with

exercises that I do it and what matters

with the diet is that whichever one I

pick I can I can make it work so it's

the psychological part that we get wrong

not the how to do

it right you you could figure out how to

exercise it's not the hardest thing in

the world you could figure out how to

eat right but the doing it the

motivation the actual the mental part is

the hard part so that's the part I teach

and how to failed almost everything and

still went big I teach you how to beat

the mental part and then the physical

part becomes almost trivial if you get

the mental part right

but here's what I tell you if you can't

do anything else right if you're hungry

look for a protein that's my trick so

that's the mental trick if you're hungry

look for protein if you think that

hungry means whatever you put in your

mouth satisfies your hunger you won't do

well because carbs tend to be more

available so if you just convince

yourself the hunger equals

protein or good fats you know like a

good avocado is good too you'll just do

better just protein first protein

protein protein if you can afford it of

course um here's another one maybe you

should have asked me turns out they did

a big study about uh gender dysphoria in

young people and turns out that the

puberty blockers and hormone treatments

for gender transition is not uh is not

backed up by any kind of quantitative

science whatsoever in ter terms of

whether the people are happier after

it's done how many people are surprised

by

that could have asked me and by the way

if the science had said the

opposite you would still handle it the

same

way you get that right so so there

apparently there's no strong evidence or

not even weak evidence that uh that

these early interventions for the gender

dysphoria uh is likely to turn out well

but suppose they did have

evidence suppose hypothetically just as

a mental experiment suppose the science

indicated that 2third of the kids who

wanted to transition as

kids uh were glad they

did now that's not the case but just

imagine if it were the case would that

be a strong case to transition

children

no no no that absolutely would not be

strong case to transition children if

onethird of them would be worse off and

children can't make

decisions it just makes sense to wait

you know because you can't make that

decision for them that's that's the hard

part so I think even if the science were

the other way still would make sense to

wait now I get that you know there's

some argument if you started early You'

get a better outcome but I don't think

that's a strong enough argument

so you could have just asked me about

every one of these things about the

weight training I would have told you

about the diety protein I would have

told you about maybe it's not a good

idea to transition kids I would have

told you that and about the AI that can

write humor uh I would have told you

that that's fake and it can't write

humor so there are four scientific

studies that literally literally you

could just asked

me now I think you could have asked most

of you as

well yeah how many of you are surprised

by any of

that no none of you right I'll bet there

was not one thing I said that you didn't

also know before the

science all

right here's the funniest story uh so

the California Senate Judiciary

Committee so now they've approved a

bill um so I guess this has to be voted

for but it would be ail to create uh

some kind of uh mechanism to figure out

which descendants of slavery live in

California because they want the black

residents of California who are but only

the ones descended from some kind of

slave situation in

America um they want them to be eligible

for reparations but first we have to

figure out if they can be identified so

the first thing they're going to do is

see if they can use a genetic kind of uh

process to check the genes of uh

Californians to find out who's eligible

now here's the fun

part it's the

math are you ready for this this will be

the this will be the funniest thing

you've heard today if you has everybody

heard this story yet it's going to be

the funniest thing you hear today you

ready California has about 6.5% black

residents suppose half of them can prove

that they're descended from

slaves so you'd have you know

3.25 but there are 72% uh White Citizens

in

California how many of the White

Citizens will show up having DNA that

connects back to slavery as in they have

a relative who was a descended from

slaves and the answer is it doesn't have

to be a very large percentage

because it's being uh that percentage

would be against the

72% of citizens who are white so there

is a very good possibility not yet

confirmed that there will be more white

people in California who would get

reparations for slavery

legitimately legitimately because they

would actually be descended from slaves

uh that there would be numerically more

of them than the number of black

citizens who could also prove that they

were descended from slaves

so is that perfect or is that

perfect does it seem like I'm totally in

control of the simulation at this point

does it look to you like reality is

starting to conform to what I would have

written as a

joke it's a little too on the nose isn't

it I I think it's reality I think I mean

I've lost all sense of reality but I

think it's real but what could be more

perfect than that now this this is the

beauty of the go go study

it I can tell you as a person whose job

it was in Corporate America to go study

stuff that was what I did it's like hey

we don't know if we want to do this

financial thing go study it we don't

know if we want to replace this you know

Network equipment go study

it it's

as soon as you you go study stuff you

you get a lot of

surprises and and this is one of them

now I would not have predicted this

specific surprise but I would have

predicted surprises meaning that as soon

as you started studying it it doesn't

look like what you think it is so here's

the other

surprise if they did a legitimate

calculation they would have to net it

out because you would have to net out

other things that were you know

advantages to Black Americans you'd have

to compare it to you know the people who

were not slaves who stayed in Africa if

you did an actual analysis of what is

Ed I'm not even sure which way it would

go you might find that descendants of

slaves owe money to white

Americans if you actually did the math

now if you did it correctly now I don't

think there's any intention to do it

correctly but if you did it correctly it

might be opposite of what you think

don't

know well Mark Zuckerberg is not going

to be legally responsible for kids being

hooked on Instagram I guess there are 25

cases along those lines and uh it's all

uh dismissed because it's not a standard

that America accepts that the CEO is

going to be personally responsible for

that sort of thing so it's more like it

was dismissed not because the kids did

not get addicted

so that wasn't the

question all right I got to see what

this little image

says

Okay

um so anyway that's

happening all right here here's another

funny story so where was this an axios I

think um that there's an insect

Armageddon coming from climate change so

the uh research surveyed so this is a CL

climate change alarm

story now I want you to see if you think

that the alarm is changing

nature here's what we used to worry

about climate change is going to drown

us all now that's pretty

scary climate change is already killing

the polar bears well I don't know if

that'll affect me directly but they're

big old mammals and it bothers me when

mammals are dying so that's scary the

hurricanes are going to kill us all from

the climate change but turns out the

Hurricanes aren't any worse than

there um and the we won't be able to

grow food but doesn't seem to be a

problem yet so they're looking for new

problems to scare us and researchers at

the University of Colorado uh

Boulder um they studied 12 ant species

and they found that the ants in Gregory

Canyon um have uh some of them have

moved on to other environments because

they say it was too warm probably

climate

change so we went from you're all going

to drown and your food supply be fried

and the polar bears are already dying

and you're next

to we're now concerned that some

subspecies of ants will

relocate oh no oh oh

no I I I wasn't worried about climate

change until you told me that some of

these several species of ants might

relocate

no no not relocating ants

no the climate uh the climate narrative

has completely

collapsed now I don't know if everybody

knows it yet but I'm telling it

completely collapsed and it was the uh

the pandemic that did it you know I've

said it before but I'll I'll keep

reminding you the public argument in

other words the part that the public

understood was that all the climate

scientists were on the same

side that's all we had because we don't

do the science and I can't check the

science I don't know how to check the

science so it's all we had and now we

know that that's ridiculous and was

never a real reason and that the experts

can absolutely all be on the same side

very easily as long as that's where the

money

is on my uh my locals Community where

you have to be a subscriber to see the

good stuff I did a uh what I call a

micro lesson I've got over 200 micro

lessons two minutes I teach you

something or reframe that you didn't

know so they're all they're all designed

to make your life better like just watch

it for 2 minutes and then you go oh I

got a new life skill so one of the life

skills is how to explain to somebody uh

why those climate models are a

BS now if you look at a climate model

you if you visualize it you know there

are dozens if not hundreds of climate

models and you know that they like to

draw it in a in sort of a wide band

there's like well all the models conform

to sort of this band and they all seem

to be hockey sticking up and there's so

many models that are in the same you

know

range and they'll show that the problem

is going to be in the future much worse

so therefore it's believable because

they're all in the same range and you

might call that range the the

probability zone or the probability band

you know the the place that probably

were going to be within that that band

here's another way to think of that band

that's the paycheck band if you created

a climate model that did not fall within

that band that they've already decided

is the narrative you couldn't get paid

and it turns out that it's expensive to

build and maintain a climate model it's

not something you could do in an

afternoon and once you build it you have

to tweak it forever because the data is

always changing you're getting smarter

you found out something your model

didn't hindcast anymore something like

that so you're always it's like an

expensive thing so in order to get a

budget to maintain your climate model

you've got to make sure that your model

is within that narrow band

otherwise you don't get a

paycheck there is nothing scientific

about that they simply told all the

scientists make sure your data is in

this narrow band or you can't get paid

and they all know it so if you have if

the only conclusions are the ones you

can get paid for how do you expect

anybody to produce a model that's

outside that

band that can never happen in the real

world in the real world they all have to

be inside that narrow band or else they

discard the model so if somebody came up

with one if they found a way to fund one

and it didn't fit the model and they

produced it what would happen they would

be mocked down of climate science

because their model is not within the

narrow band that everybody is sure is

the true one you just can't you can't

you can't get out of that

band now you might say but Scott you're

no climate scientist so why are you even

weighing in on this climate stuff to

which I say I'm an economist I my

background is economics I have a MBA so

I know business and economics and I know

that if you describe this situation

where the only way you could get paid

just to make sure that your data with

within this narrow band and then you

also knew because you studied economics

that you can make a projection fit

anything you want just keep tweaking

things until it fits uh oh

it was just a little alarm sounded got a

low battery somewhere I

think all right you're going to hear

that again at about 15 seconds

beep so anyway that's why climate models

are BS

um so it looks like Maine is going to be

the latest to join this interstate

effort I wasn't paying much attention to

that would say that the state would give

all of its um electoral votes in a

presidential election would give them

all to whoever got the most votes in the

whole country so basically it would be

doing away with the electoral system

without doing away with it so they' keep

it but they'd make it irrelevant by just

giving all the votes whoever won the

popular vote in the country now you can

tell that the only purpose of this is to

put Democrats in charge forever right

because there there are more of them and

the only way Republicans ever win

is if they they win in the key

Battleground places so they're trying to

take the one advantage that Republicans

have to ever win they're trying to add

10 million people to the voting roles

mostly Democrats the the

migrants and uh changing the rules at

the same time so I remind you that we

don't have and we haven't lived in

anything like a republic or a Democratic

Republic or a Democratic federal

republic whatever we're called for a

long long time it's all about the rules

so whoever changes the rules counts the

votes decides who can run who can be in

the primary those are the things that

decide who the president we we're a long

way away from the voters will deciding

the presidency and and I think we should

stop teaching it to kids

really I think we should stop lying to

children and say we have we have this

system where people vote and you know

your vote matters your vote doesn't

matter your vote doesn't matter at all

all that matters is which rules get

implemented before the vote if it's

one-sided rules you can tell who's going

to win if the other set of rules you can

tell who's the other's going to win it's

the rules so whoever controls the rules

decides who's in power and that's not

you all right

um so there's some effort to prevent uh

new residents from

voting um

and obviously that's the reason for the

bringing in all the uh illegal people is

to affect the

election all

right nearly two-thirds of American

voters believe the situation along the

border is an invasion

64% oh my God anyway we already knew

that

um let's see so Rasmus did a poll and

asked uh would you cheat to

win uh in the 2024 election so voters

were asked would you cheat to win 28%

said

yes

28% uh now it wasn't actually wasn't

that different between the Democrats and

the Republicans so don't get all

cocky it was about a quarter roughly a

quarter

um yeah roughly a quarter with

sheet now given

that um all of Democrats believe that

Trump is Hiller because they been told

that do you think that one in four being

willing to

cheat so let's say they're

willing so so they're able so they have

the opportunity if if one in four were

willing to cheat that would be enough

people willing to cheat who are running

elections which you agree if it's true

that one and four would be willing to

cheat certainly the people who handle

the actual security for an

election probably one and four there's

no reason to think that the people

managing the elections have a you know

lower rate of being willing to cheat so

if you had a system in which one in four

told you they'd be willing to cheat and

then you also knew they had the

opportunity because we have elections

that can't be fully audited

so they have the willingness and the

opportunity but do they have the the

motivation well yes they do because the

news has been telling them that Trump is

Hitler and then on the Republican side

they look at Biden and he looks like

he's Hitler so you got two groups that

both think the other one is a fascist

you know dictator Hitler of course they

have a reason so they get the

motivation they have said they're

willing in enough numbers and they

certainly have the

opportunity if they're managing

elections so do you think there's any

chance that elections are

fair if a quarter of the people

involved would be willing to cheat and

they've got the best reason ever we're

stopping

Hiller and you see them acting like this

in person you know like the uh the CEO

of NPR who's getting a lot of heat this

week if you look at her

posts it does look like she'd be willing

to cheat because she would believe that

she was saving the

country if I thought I could save the

country I'd cheat wouldn't you if you

thought you were literally saving the

country I'd cheat because I'd rather

save the country of

course so to to imagine that our

elections are fair is it's kind of

laughable in 2024

you know which is not to say that I have

specific information about any cheating

I

don't I

[Music]

don't um well here's one of my themes

today which is maybe some limits have

been reached limits of patience for

example uh John Cougar melan Camp was

giving a Show recently and uh he managed

to say something Pro Biden and was

unable to finish the show because he got

booed off the stage and ended up just

quitting he he just walked

off so

apparently some kind of limit has been

reached with the public where if you go

on stage in public and act like

everybody's on the same page and hey you

know Biden's the greatest and Trump is

the devil then you're not going to

finish your show you you have to go home

after that he had to go

home yeah so the uh apparently the

Republicans and maybe Independents in

the audience said no we came here for

music if you're going to give us that go

home and then he had to go home they

sent him home basically

good there's a story about RFK Jr who

said that uh some Trump allies asked him

to be VP now the word he used was not

allies but the headline says allies he

said

Emissary so that some Trump emissaries

were feeling him out of being about

being Trump's vice president let me tell

you how to interpret that it wasn't

trump it wasn't Trump you have to

understand

that if if somebody says it was his

allies or his

emissaries it wasn't

Trump now what I call I call this the

fantasy politics season here are two

things that are pure fantasy politics

Michelle Obama is going to replace Biden

is never going to happen in the real

world ever but we can't stop

talking about it because it's fantasy

politics wouldn't that be interesting

RFK Jr as the VP for a republican is the

same thing that's Pure Fantasy politics

there isn't any chance that Trump would

have considered a rep a Democrat for a

vice president zero chance that's Pure

Fantasy so if in fact some emissaries or

some allies were feeling RFK Jr out

about it they they may have acted like

it was more serious than it really was

because if they could get him to say yes

then they could go to Trump and say you

know it's not hypothetical he would say

yes so I think the Allies were trying to

make something happen that I can't

believe I can't believe for a

second that Trump would have taken

seriously because it would have been a

huge mistake you agree right it would be

a gigantic mistake to just put a

Democrat on as a vice president I mean

it's just it's just fantasy politics

it's not things that could happen in the

real world so no I don't think there's

any evidence whatsoever that Trump was

flirting with RFK Jr as vice president

now if you said would he flirt with him

as an attorney

general or as some kind of role to fix

our food supply I say yes because I

think those people I think they have a

sufficient level of respect

for each other that if the if the fit

was right yes I think so I I'm not

predicting

it but you could imagine him having a

role in the administration but not VP

that would be

crazy uh axio says us is on the rate to

see the lowest levels of violent crimes

and homicides since Obama was an office

that's

axios does anybody believe that do you

believe that violent crime is for some

reason taking a a

plunge well it might be but do we

believe any statistics or is it more

likely they change the way they're

recording the statistics or something

like that you know the other possibility

is I wonder if all the the people who

were shootable already got killed do you

ever wonder about that like let's say

murder just became way more

common wouldn't you fairly quickly reach

the limit of the number of people who

are worth

shooting like what if you just run out

of people who are worth murdering

because you know most of the murder is

people who know each

other like you probably know somebody

you'd be willing to kill but you know

just

one like if I if I said to you I I know

you're against murder but let's just say

hypothetically you had a magic button

and you could make just one person die

and nobody would know it was you it just

you just have to pick one person who's

so bad in your personal Circle you just

think that's better off the world's

better off as they're dead would you

push the button well some of you would

and I actually wonder if all the people

were worth killing already already got

killed for example a lot of people who

get killed are themselves just monsters

you know they people who have killed

other people they've H other people and

then you they went too far and somebody

killed them

so iway it's just a question whether the

the stats are wrong could it be

something that happened with policing

this

different um or could it be that

everybody worth killing just got killed

so you ran out of people who are worth

killing

anyway uh where I live in my County

there's a DA called Pamela price who's

one of these Soros funded prosecutors a

black woman and uh I I've never seen

anything political in my town until this

meaning that you rarely are going to see

like a a campaign sign in anybody's

lawn you know I I don't know why but

where I live it's just a very

non-political place there's there's not

going to be any um nobody's going to be

protesting in town there aren't going to

be any parades for political

reasons uh it's just very non-political

place but the only thing I've seen a lot

of is people collecting signatures to

get rid of the uh the

da that I've seen a lot and I've signed

it so I've signed that petition so

they're they're working like all the

grocery stores every time you go in a

grocery store somebody's there asking

you to get rid of Pema

price so it looks like they're they're

getting close to reaching a a number

where they can recall her that might

actually happen so it looks like people

have reached a limit

well here's something that we can't

limit the fisa thing is moving along to

the Senate and as you know there will be

no Provisions saying that um the

intelligence people have to get a

warrant to look into ordinary Americans

so now you have lost all 100% of your

privacy 100% of your privacy now

officially gone because the intelligence

people can look into anything you're

doing with then a warrant

they just have to have some

reason that you talk to somebody from

another country how often do you talk to

somebody from another

country it kind of happens a

lot if you talk about politics or if

you're doing anything that matters in

the world it probably is affecting other

countries and you've got some ongoing

conversation how hard would it be for

the intelligence people to say okay you

talk to somebody another country and

it's just sort of some business person

but oh hello we can make a connection

between that business person who is just

ordinary business and uh they've got a

brother-in-law who's part of the the

Communist

party so you got the Communist Party you

got the brother-in-law you got this guy

in another country that's good enough to

watch the guy in the other country oh

well if you're making a phone call with

an American we have to see both sides

and then they can get anything they want

on you so basically all privacy now

completely gone so the government can

look at whatever they want without

without a warrant now you could argue

that you never had any privacy because

it's easy to get a war which would be a

pretty good argument but now don't even

have that little tiny little Safeguard

they can just do whatever they want

apparently so there's

that there's a company that can make you

into your own digital clone fairly

easily deac Chopra who is 77 he has

already got a little clone and

apparently for some uh monthly fee

there's a company

called Deli that will let you create

your first your own digital clone now

I'm not sure if I will create mine using

this particular app but as you know it

has long been my plan long before AI was

practical for I know decades I've been

telling you that as soon as it gets here

going to create a digital version of

myself so I'll look into this one but

this might be it so what I imagine in

maybe a year is if you go to dilbert.com

instead of having to read all the text

about where my work is and where you can

find it you could just call it my bot

say hey

Scott where can I find your comic oh

well you can look at it on the uh the

xplatform if you subscribe to me or the

locals platform it's Scott items. locals

or you could buy my books reframe your

brain and it will just answer all your

questions maybe even look for reprints

you want a license and everything else

so one year or less um I should have

that up and

running well of course Trump's in that

stormy Stormy Daniels uh paying paying

to shutter up case that's so confusing

that uh V did a video was 2 minutes and

40 seconds explaining the complic ations

of that trial and why it's all Bs and

lawfare now if you saw it and it's easy

to find just for look for V and uh his

video on law fair and stormmy Daniels

it'll pop right up here's why I would

recommend you watch it it's a

complicated

situation which V explains perfectly

like really summarizes it just perfectly

but that's not why you should watch

it you should watch it because I'm

pretty sure now I don't know this for

sure I think he did it with one

take watch it again just watch it again

and ask yourself did he do that with one

take without notes because it doesn't

look like he's reading it I think he did

that with one take you have to see

it like we're not used to this

like we we just don't see this one take

for that it's

crazy it's just crazy I don't think he I

don't think he stumbled over a word 2

minutes and 41 seconds of talking about

a super complicated thing off the top of

his head incredible anyway you got see

it Elon Musk also weighed in and said it

was you know obviously Corruption of

justice and lawfare

and of course that makes

news um and then Jack babek reminds us

that in

2022 Hillary Clinton quietly settled a

campaign Finance violation about the the

steel dossier and who funded it and

whether was quote Legal Services she

paid a fine and was never

arrested and Jack says that's the same

thing Trump is on trial for

now so you got V saying this is a

Corruption of the system you got Elon

musk saying this is an obvious

Corruption of Justice you've got Hillary

Clinton who wasn't arrested for some

version of the same

crime and even Rachel mat asked this

question of her audience uh why are we

still talking about something about the

2016

election why why is that even a thing

it's not about the 2020 election it's

not about

2024 the Stormy Daniels thing is about

2016

why are we caring about

that well um as Eric abinanti responded

to Rachel mow on X it's because the left

is blatantly weaponizing the justice

system to take out their top opponent

the only reason it's a thing is because

it's bad for Trump do you think Rachel

madow doesn't know that that the only

reason it exists is because it's bad for

Trump and that the corrupt the system is

completely corrupt

well it gets better so they're picking

the jurors for this trial and the jurors

are being asked you know if they're

biased or if they could be

impartial apparently 50 prospective

jurors were dismissed for saying they

can't be fair and impartial about Trump

but eventually they will find people who

said they can be fair and impartial

about Trump in other words the only

people on the jury will be

Liars I'm not making that up because

obviously nobody's impartial about Trump

can we all agree on that literally

nobody unless they haven't been paying

attention and then they're too stupid to

be on a jury if somebody doesn't have a

strong opinion about Trump you don't

want them anywhere near a jury because

they're so lame that they can't

you know probably find their way home so

you either have the stupidest people in

the world or the biggest liar

and that's our system of justice and by

the way they're doing it right in front

of you right in front of you do do you

think any of you

believe that they're going to find

impartial jurors nobody believes that

nobody believes that not a single

citizen of the United States not a

Democrat not a republican nobody and yet

they're going to do it

anyway what's up with that it's exactly

what it looks like it's complete

corruption and it's so

blatant that they can do it right in

front of you now um a lot of people are

saying and I think I agree with it so

far that uh it's all good for Trump

because every day he's in trial on what

is obviously corruption yeah not on his

part but obvious corruption on the part

of the Department of Justice that it

should help

him but I don't think we have really an

election that elects who the people want

to elect I mean it's obvious that we're

we're pretty far from that

standard but uh yeah we'll have a jury

of idiots and liars and they'll come up

with something uh Politico is reporting

that uh uh a number of the defendants

the January 6 defendants there are 350

of them that are in jail for something

like uh

obstructing justice and uh interfering

with

some documents or

something now there's one judge a trump

appointed judge who's who basically

threw out some cases so there are

currently people in

jail while there are people other people

who were accused of exactly the same

thing and the judge threw it out as

BS basically I think he probably just

said it's a

protest now the Supreme Court's taking

it on as they should because if the

Lower Court judges can't even decide if

it's a crime or not a crime well that's

perfect job for the Supreme

Court and I didn't realize just how much

they had to torture the law to make any

of this illegal so apparently it came

out of some Enron

law the Enron

law was specifically about Enron

destroying records so they wanted it to

be illegal to destroy records that are

part of an official proceeding such as

as a court

case

so does it sound like the January 6

people were destroying

[Music]

records um to interfere with an official

proceeding no they were not destroying

any

records so they had to stretch it from

the original intention which of

destroying evidence to Simply

interfering with an official

proceeding because I guess the language

of the law is Broad enough that they

thought they could get away with that so

so were people who were protesting

interfering with an official

proceeding well yes they were they were

intentionally trying to interfere with

the professional proceeding but they

were specifically trying to improve

it which somehow gets left out of the

conversation yes they did want to

interfere with it to make sure that the

system was working not to break the

system they wanted to delay to make sure

that the the count was accurate and they

just said hey two days and then at the

same time Trump was organizing the

so-called fake

electors

but what do we know if Trump's lawyers

go to jail for the fake elector scheme

what can you determine from that number

one that a court said it was illegal to

try to organize these fake electors

number two the lawyers went to jail for

it or not jail Eastman Eastman got

disbarred or something so if the lawyers

get in trouble for it what does that

tell you about

Trump let me connect the dots for you if

the lawyers got in trouble for it it

means that Trump was operating under

legal

advice under legal advice that's why the

lawyers are in

trouble so how how in the world does the

principal get in trouble for following

the advice of

lawyers and what and how can you say

that that's uh interfering with an

official proceeding if the lawyers

thought it was

legal there there's no indication that

Trump thought it was

illegal because it all came from his

lawyers he didn't make up any of it it

was all stuff his lawyers said you know

I think we could maybe make this

work so the fact that the lawyer ERS are

in trouble tells you Trump should not be

because it means it was a

lawyer organized concept and he just

said

yes

so um so apparently this law is complete

BS that they stretched it from some

Enron thing into into a slightly

delaying a process to improve it so they

went from destroying records that would

be NE necessary in a court case very bad

to protesting and using your first

amendment but too aggressively you know

the trespassing was over the line

and to improve a process publicly

transparently they wanted to

transparently and publicly improve a

process that appeared to them to be

broken at the

moment and they're going to they're

going to try to torture that until you

should be in jail and they are in jail

so what's going to happen if the Supreme

Court rules that all of these people who

are in jail

for um these charges these obstruction

of justice charges what happens if they

all get

freed what does that do to the

narrative well as uh Politico points out

that's not necessarily going to mean

Trump is off the

hook because Trump um or was part of

organizing these fake

electors whereas the protesters didn't

organize any fake electors so this Enron

rule about you know falsifying documents

and stuff they're going to torture that

thing into falsifying and destroying

documents as the same as getting a fake

slate of

electors which by the way we know from

the documentation at the time was to

preserve their legal challenge

it was just to preserve the legal

challenge basically just the legal

strategy so I don't think that's that's

such a

thin such a thin

charge it seems to me if the 350 people

get out even though they're not exactly

in the same situation as Trump that the

whole obstruction of justice thing is

going to look like BS for Trump too that

the that the the

glow from the Supreme Court kicking out

the other

cases should should end up giving Trump

a little

Advantage um yeah so right now we're

watching protesters uh block Bridges you

know the the anti-israel protesters but

the people who are blocking bridges are

they um are they stopping some kind of a

legal

process are they stopping a legal legal

process or just

traffic so they're probably okay because

it's just

traffic but suppose suppose you were a

suppose it was a Republicans who were

doing it do you think they could torture

the law to turn it into a crime sure

they'll say somebody on that bridge was

going to a

official to some official event and you

stop them from doing it so you stop the

government for working so you got to go

to jail you obstructed Justice somehow I

know I feel like they could torture

anything into anything at this

point so speaking of those people on the

on the bridges um did you see that Tom

Cotton Senator Tom Cotton said that the

citizens should take matters into their

own hands and don't wait for the

police basically he was in favor of uh

getting out of your car and dragging

people out of the road now I would stop

he didn't say violence he did not say

violence people sort of read that

between the lines but he didn't say that

he said take matters into your own hands

I think take matters into your own hands

should be limited to physically dragging

them out of the

way which I agree with does it seem to

you that some kind of limit has been

reached yes I think the Supreme Court's

going to find the limit on the

obstruction of justice stuff and reverse

it I think Tom con is telling people to

take matters into their own hands I

think maybe they will I don't know

you're seeing some stories in the Press

of people taking matters into their own

hands more than you expected maybe

that's a thing and uh generally

everywhere you look there's something

like a limit that's been

reached now I'll say it again because as

part of our fantasy

politics Democrats like to talk about

the day that Trump goes to jail so that

that's their fantasy

politics and I want to say as clearly as

possible because Clarity really helps

you know the one thing that can get you

in serious trouble is not understanding

the room like if you do something you

don't think it's going to cause a

revolution but then it does because you

didn't understand the room let me

explain the

room Trump in court is very very

bothersome like his supporters don't

like it at all but so far they can

handle it meaning they think he'll

probably

Prevail so they don't need to get

involved but if Trump goes to jail for

one

day all bets are

off now I never I never recommend

violence of course so don't do anything

violent or illegal but I'm just saying

that the social contract will be gone at

that

point and in my opinion it should be at

that point all options are on the table

I don't recommend violence but all

options would be on the table so if the

Democrats want to push it to the

breaking

point that's the breaking point and I

want to be as clear as possible about

that one day in

jail is going to make me feel like you

put me in

jail if you put Trump through the legal

process it feels like that's about

Trump if you put him in jail for one day

one hour one hour that's

personal because I know they're going to

do it to

me and I would say that I would pull out

um I would I would remove all controls

at that point at that point there

wouldn't be anything I wouldn't be

willing to do the social contract would

be gone I don't recommend violence I'm

just saying that whatever you thought

was the limit on other people's

behavior 1 hour in jail the limit will

be gone and I can't predict what happens

after that if you want if you want that

situation complete

unpredictability put him in jail for one

hour you're not going to like

it you're definitely not going to like

it but again no

violence all right uh there's an NGO in

Mexico that's handing out flyers to tell

people that they need to to vote for Joe

Biden once they come to this country

illegally so that uh more illegal people

can be led into the country like

them so yeah it's exactly what you

thought that the migration situation is

a political process and

uh I think we're done with

it I think we've reached the limit you

know what else we've reached the limit

to I feel there's a very high chance

that the election will be RI

and really obviously and really right in

front of

us I'm not sure we're going to be able

to put up with it this time I mean there

was a protest last time that turned into

you know the Insurrection

but I don't think you want to do it this

time I I feel like this time things

would go differently and I don't think

that people would be dumb enough to

attack the capital or anything like that

but don't do it right in front of us

don't make it obvious I

mean I think the limit has been

reached so ran is talking about they

have some secret weapon unspecified

which is just a good thing to say if you

think you're going to get attacked we

don't know if Israel yet is going to

make a direct attack on Iran but there's

a lot of talk about

that and some say that secret weapon

could be a a nuclear dirty bomb

well here's what I know for sure if Iran

ever used a nuclear dirty bomb

anywhere I'm pretty sure we'd have to

put him out of

business would you

agree like that would be a a limit that

would be the limit the limit is if you

if you nuke anything you can't be a

country anymore at least with the

leadership they have so I I love the

Iranian

people um if you're lucky enough to know

any you know anybody who was born and

raised in Iran I think you'd agree with

me amazing people amazing people just

the the nicest warmest friendliest smart

usually well educated you know looking

to make a difference kind of people so

the Iranian people are amazing and I

definitely don't want to get in a fight

with them but their

leadership might make themselves a

Target if they did a dirty bomb

um so here's what here's what I think

the Israel's options are now now I

remind you that I don't support

Israel um because the ADL has labeled me

a holocaust

denier obviously I'm not a holocaust

denier but the ADL of course is not uh

directly reporting to Israel they're a

separate American entity uh however

that's not my problem because Israel

could turn them off if they want to they

would just have to disavow them and it'd

be hard for them to raise money so given

that the ADL is um a a uh an enemy of

mine um I I can't support Israel while

the ads after me is that

fair and and trust me I understand that

they're separate

entities but I don't care that's not my

problem so anyway so I'm not supporting

Israel I'm just dis

describing their

options uh option one there will never

be a better time to do a decapitation

strike on

Iran I'm not recommending

it I'm not recommending it I'm saying if

they ever wanted to there'll never be a

better chance because they've got a free

punch right now it's a free punch if

they go too far this would be the only

time they could come back from that

because too doesn't look the same as it

did before October 7th does

it what you would have considered as

going too far on October

6 would not look like too far

today so and if time goes by and let's

say things

normalized it would be impossible to

take out their leadership and think you

could get away with it but in the

context of having them funding October

7th everybody assumes it seems obvious

um and the ongoing attacks Hezbollah you

know continues to send missiles and

that's Iranian backed and Hamas is not

giving up the hostages Iran Iranian

backed and then Iran did that massive

missile and drone attack on Israel which

fortunately was mostly thwarted but

under that context Israel can take out

the um the leadership of

Iran and probably no other time that

could have been

possible so if they don't do it I doubt

they'll ever get another chance because

everything that's happening now is just

so unique it just doesn't it's not

likely they'll ever get another shot so

again not recommending it but if it

happened don't be surprised and it would

be the only time they could get away

with

it uh also they could get away with it

because Biden is so

weak um again that's more of an

impression

uh it might be that the Biden

Administration is plenty tough and I

don't know you maybe they're playing it

right I don't know but he's perceived

his

weak and probably perceived as a lame

duck in the sense that it doesn't look

like he would win if you're if you're

outside the country you probably think

he's not going to

win so if you got a weak president and

uh then the other fact is that Israel in

my opinion has already spent their

Holocaust chip

so what they're doing in Gaza will

forever be called by their enemies as a

genocide and that just essentially

kneecaps the whole Holocaust narrative

that has been so useful up to now now if

you going to give away your biggest

asset the Holocaust narrative you want

to make sure you got your money's

worth and so far I don't think they have

if if the only thing they've done

is uh get aggressive super aggressive

with

Gaza then they spent their chip and I

don't know if they got anything back and

if they rebuild Gaza the way it was then

they gave it away for nothing they got

nothing they'll just recreate the

problem so you don't spend your greatest

asset and get nothing the only thing

that would be worth that expense was

would be to take um Iran out as a risk

in the future yeah I don't mean destroy

the country that would be very very bad

but a leadership decapitation strike

maybe um or if they don't do that here

would be the other way to go if you

wanted to go psychological rather than

kinetic I think Israel should say look

the the reason we have this problem is

Iran if Iran were not funding all these

entities none of this would be happening

so Iran owns the uh the people who have

been displaced the Gaza residents just

say here's the deal Iran you can feed

them all you want and we'll open up the

corridor so Iran if you want to feed

them you you broke Gaza we didn't break

it we just did what we had to do but you

but you did things that were

optional Israel did what it had to do

because everybody knows self-defense is

legitimate

right

um but Iran didn't have to do with they

did which is funding the militants ETC

so Iran is the one that broke it they're

the one that broke Gaza so I think they

should take all of the

residents uh into Iran

proper they they should open the door

and say all right we ruined your country

Gaza so now you can live here and we'll

keep you alive until you you get

settled so I think that's what Israel

should do they should demand that Iran

take their IES and all the families and

everybody that they everybody whose life

they destroyed by funding Hamas so the

trouble is is Israel is

allowing they're allowing this situation

to be reframed as Israel destroyed

Gaza that's not exactly what's

happening Iran destroyed Gaza by funding

a situation which guaranteed Gaza would

be

destroyed Israel is just doing their

part they're they're doing the autom a

atic part well if you do this to us it's

kind of automatic that this is going to

happen so I think they can make the case

that uh ran should be feeding and

clothing and doing the health care for

everybody who's displaced and they

should be the permanent settlement for

all of

them and that that would be the fair and

only thing that could

work the only thing that wouldn't work

is rebuilding Gaza and repopulating it

like it used to

be that's the only you can't

do and and by the way everybody's

pretending like that's the only thing

that will happen like the International

Community is still pretending this like

this is like fantasy politics

again uh I saw Bill Amman this was a

while ago a few weeks ago he said you

know maybe Gaza could become the real

model City that's rebuilt and the Gaza

residents are are put back in and not

only do they go back but it's a better

situation it's like a model you know

amazing City you built with modern

wonders and stuff to which I

say that's fantasy Israel's never going

to let the the uh their enemies

repopulate who who thinks that's going

to happen so so there's this whole

fantasy you know belief about this two

State situation none of that's going to

happen that's like Michelle Obama being

president and RFK Jr being selected to

be vice president for Trump this is Pure

Fantasy yeah there they're not going to

rebuild Gaza the way it was so you got

to find something else there's a story

that says uh that Larry Fink the CEO of

Black Rock uh quote melted down on some

kind of uh earnings call and it was over

ESG and I guess black rocks losing money

because people are pulling their funds

because of

ESG specifically let's see who did it

specifically um there was the the Texas

permanent School fund pulled 8 and a

half billion from their management that

kind of hurts imagine having one entity

pull over8 billion out of your fund over

over

ESG so now the report was that Larry fin

quote melted down but I heard an audio

of it and it didn't sound all that melty

down to me he did

sound stressed but I wouldn't go all the

way to melt it down he he was just being

quite uh let's say assertive in his

opinion he wasn't too happy about it but

melted down n melted down is a whole

different standard I wouldn't I wouldn't

say he melted

down RFK Jr explains to us why uh NATO

is so hell bent on

expansion now you remember follow the

money explains

everything and do you remember when you

were confused about why why do we need

NATO to be every country when Russia

it's like the main thing they don't want

like Russia says there's just one thing

we definitely don't want just don't grow

NATO okay and we can make everything

else work just that one thing just one

thing don't increase NATO

so of course we're increasing NATO like

crazy and it turns out that there's a

financial reason for that are you

surprised here's the financial reason as

described by RFK Jr which immediately

made sense to me like all the everything

fell in place when you hear this for the

first time you're going to say to

yourself are you kidding me if

you've never heard this yet or I'm going

to tell you in a moment if you've never

heard this before and I never had

it's the first time I heard it was this

morning your head is going to explode

you ready for

this RFK Jr tells us that if a country

goes NATO the first thing that country

has to do is buy only NATO type

weapons because NATO needs to be

interoperable do you see it yet do you

know who sells all the NATO approved

weapons the United States

th this is all about building a weapons

building

entity and having a good reason for lots

of weapons well it's right on the border

there with Russia so of course they need

lots of weapons but they don't need our

weapons well if we make them NATO they

need our

weapons it it was always about selling

them

weapons that's all it

is you know and then the arguments about

you know Putin wanting to roll over

Europe probably all complete

probably and then Black Rock of course

uh and others will get the big contracts

to

rebuild so Ukraine is not just one thing

obviously the CIA wanted it to help them

conquer Russia and the energy people

wanted the fight so they could take

Russia's energy business and the weapons

people wanted them to be NATO so they

could sell NATO weapons

let me say something with uh no

ambiguity

whatsoever America is the bad guy are

you all aware of

that you know you know we are the bad

guy right like we're really bad like

we're so bad it's almost incalculable we

might be the worst country that ever

lived well Hitler and Stalin and Ma did

pretty bad maybe not worse than them or

I'll give you a pole pot too but we're

in the top 10 I mean the the the we

do to other countries just for

money is completely morally and

ethically bankrupt we're we're probably

the most morally and ethically bankrupt

country in the history of all

countries but does it work kind of you

know kind of as long as we have the

biggest military we can get rid of all

we can do all kinds of stuff

so

anyway um remember I predicted uh right

after Trump lost in

2020 uh I predicted that Trump would

look better every day he was out of

office and I saw Fox News was reporting

on a poll that uh people who remember

the years in office of Trump versus

Biden 42% remember Trump's years in

office as you know basically good mostly

good but only 25% think

uh Biden is mostly

good 25%

H 25% of the public thinks that Biden's

years are mostly good I think all 25%

are on

MSNBC did did you see Morning Joe Go

full mental illness about Trump

today oh my God that guy's got some

mental problems that he he's trying to

trying to sell us his professional

job anyway um

meanwhile axios has a scoop that

treasury secretary Janet Yellen is

preparing fresh sanctions on Iran

huh sanctions on Iran who does that

remind me of what leader wanted to build

a wall and have sanctions on

Iran H well it seems that uh Trump was

right about everything and now sanctions

on Iran looks like a good idea suddenly

doesn't it how about those sanctions on

Iran and maybe we should build a

wall Trump right on

everything

um then as you know the uh Republicans

are talking about how they have to have

more observers during election

night um so the Republicans think that

they need more lawyers and observers to

make sure that you have full

transparency for the election it's a

good idea don't you

think what would be your what what kind

of complaint could anybody have about

that could you even imagine what the

complaint would be like why would you

why would anybody complain about having

extra observers so that way you don't

have to wonder if the election was

rigged right what wasn't it terrible

that all the Republicans said hey I

think that election was rigged well you

could do away with with most of that by

making sure that everywhere there's a

Democrat there's also a

republican I'll tell you if you told me

there was a republican watching every

step of the process at the same time as

a Democrat I would say you know what a

lot of people say there's this system is

rigged but if you just tell me there's a

Republican and a Democrat watching every

vote I'm going to think maybe that

system

worked but apparently that was not the

case

apparently there there's quite a bit of

pressure to make sure that that there

are no Republicans watching who would

say such a crazy crazy thing that would

obviously oun you as a scoundrel and

obviously oun you as somebody who had

every intention of rigging an election

who in the world would be against

transparency and having both a Democrat

and a republican looking at every step

of the way who could possibly be against

that Mark Elias lawyer for the Democrats

said

for those who can't believe it yes the

right-wing groups are suing for the

right to harass election workers and

voters that's right Mark Elias the guy

famous for getting all the rules changes

that probably got Biden in elected in

the first place is saying that

transparency is really just Republicans

wanting to

hassle and harass the election

workers now could we have a show of

hands because I know there are a lot of

Republicans watching the stream how many

of you wake up in the morning and say to

yourselves you know there's one thing I

like even more than fair elections with

great

transparency I'd love to go down to an

election and just harass a Democrat on

Election

Day because I can I'm going to sue

somebody in fact I want to harass

somebody so badly that I'm going to sue

for the right to harass people

now is that the weakest lawyer argument

you've ever heard that transparency is

the same thing as

harassing he's actually trying to sell

that but more importantly he's trying to

sell that there should not be

transparency he he's the guy who knows

where all the bodies are

buried I'll bet you Mark Elias knows if

there's anything that say imperfect

about the

elections he would be the one who

knows probably more than any single

person in the world he'd probably

know and he thinks that lack of

transparency would be the better way to

go at least based on his comments it

seems that way aren't they telling us

directly they plan to

cheat how do you interpret this other

than we very much want to cheat and we

would hate it if you're

watching I I don't even have another way

to think of it like I I try to show you

both sides of things there's no both

sides of this one what is the both sides

of transparency lack of transparency no

the opposite of transparency is not

harassing

Democrats the opposite of transparency

is non-transparency

but he's trying to sell us that the

opposite of transparency is harassing

that is not that is not an argument

that's not even a good try but got

nothing else so let me ask you this why

when does a lawyer

lie when does a lawyer

lie now I know you're going to say when

their mouth is

moving funny but that's not what I'm

going for when does a lawyer

LIE there's only one there's only one

situation in which a lawyer

Lies when the truth doesn't

work when the truth doesn't work because

if the truth

worked why would you lie about it

because you want you want something that

works so a lawyer would have never have

a reason to lie when the truth

Works am I right is is Mark Elias

telling you the truth that this is about

harassing Democrats

does that sound like the truth to

you and if it's not the

truth why would a lawyer

lie only one

reason if he's lying and it looks looks

like an obvious lie to us but we can't

read his mind but if he's lying there's

only one

reason because the truth would be bad

for

him there's no other reason

right yeah had to say what his lips are

moving you had to say it all right

ladies and gentlemen that gives us the

conclusion of today's amazing show I'm

going to say goodbye to the platforms of

Facebook Rumble and X I'm going to stick

around for the local subscribers who are

special in a good way and uh thanks for
