Episode 2454 CWSA 04/24/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time today I'm going to attempt to get through the entire show with no cursing whatsoever I know maybe I didn't do so well yesterday if you know what I mean but today no cursing and if you'd like to take your experience up to that level of godliness there's nothing else you could call it all you need for that is a coverer mug glass a tanker chel s a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous siping happens now go well ladies and gentlemen if you were a subscriber to the Dilbert reborn comic on the xplatform or you were a member of the locals Community Scott adam.

locals you would know that Tina the tech writer is being replaced by AI but in the ultimate insult the ultimate employee insult Tina will be asked to train her AI replacement yeah it's probably one of the number one suggestions I get from people when they when I ask for Dilbert ideas you know hey is anything bothering you at your workplace the the one I get more than any other one well actually the one I get the most is people uh leaving smelly things in microwaves but I can't write comics about smells it just kind of doesn't work and and they talk about Ste in food from the refrigerator because those are like the simplest dumbest comic ideas but the other one is people being fired or replaced and being asked to train their replacement now imagine if you had to train AI as your replacement is that better or is that worse I don't know we'll explore that in the dber comic well I got to tell you about something that happened to me in the simulation yesterday for about I don't know several years now probably at least once a day I've said to myself you know what I should sit down and I should dedicate a whole bunch of my time to writing up what the uh the drinking bleach hoax was how it was executed and really do a good job on it so yesterday um I fell asleep working during the afternoon which is not uncommon I woke up next to my laptop as I often do in my man cave and uh I really don't sleep enough I think that's probably the bottom line there and I felt all inspired suddenly and I said darn it I'm going to write this up and so I I I put three hours of the most inspired best writing of my life and I wrote up the whole bleach drinking hoax and if I'm being honest about my own work it's just some of the best work I've ever done my life and after years of thinking about it every day and thinking I've got to do this for the world and it could change it could change the really the course of history and when I was done I looked at it and I said damn this thing is going to be super viral like everybody's going to read this it's going to uncover the entire technique of creating hoaxes tell people how they fell for it show them very clearly that it was a hoax and it was going to be one of the three 10 pole hoaxes and when I was done and I hit uh publish there was a technical bug that ate it and it's gone forever so sometimes the simulation has its own plan apparently do you get a preview no it's gone forever it's literally gone just a technical problem and I don't know if I can do it again so here will be the interesting part I tend to think that things like this have some kind of a weird purpose to them because I can't think of the last time I lost a document do you remember the last time you lost a document after you'd finished it it's almost something that doesn't happen in the modern you know technological World very rare but it's definitely gone and I thought to myself there must be some reason I'm not allowed to do this now I you know obviously I don't see any specific mechanism to to make that happen but it's really a weird coincidence that the most important thing I've written in years by far you know the the most consequential thing that would actually had put a big you know dent in the whole world disappeared I just don't know how to explain that it's just such a weird coincidence so here's what here's what we'll watch for does it mean that I was meant to rewrite it better what do you think is The Universe telling me it wasn't good enough and I have to do it better because it's that important or is The Universe telling me don't do it or is it nothing but a coincidence I don't know I don't think the human brain knows how to sort out this stuff but I'll let you know if I write it anyway I do I did have an earlier draft of it so I might be able to put it back together uh Thomas Massie tells us that the house Sergeant at Arms wants to find him $500 maybe a day per day for having a post on X that shows a video of the house and all the and a number of the members waving Ukrainian Flags during the vote about the Ukrainian funding now do you think that the uh house Sergeant at Arms has the authority to find him because of something he posted on X well apparently that there's some kind of rule that says you can't have a video of you know the proceedings inside and if it was his own video and he took it and then he posted it that probably would be a violation on the other hand it does seem like absolutely legitimate news and I would be very happy to see it so of course I reposted it to make sure that more people saw it and I'd like to make an offer to Thomas Massie that uh if it turns out that he's going to pay $500 a day I will I will pay for one of those days so I'll pledge $500 if it gets fined I I'll pay $500 to you know either to his camp campaign or something so I I'll try to make sure that he's uh the blow is softened right and if anybody else wants to commit to paying for a day um you can pay for your free speech because Free Speech costs uh let's see free speech costs $500 a day for free speech yeah well California my state has so much solar power it turns out that uh during the day um there's more solar power than there is demand for it now we still have overall there's an energy problem because it's not balanced but so many people in California took the government government rebates and everything and put solar on their house that when we get that afternoon baking sun we're actually creating more energy than we're using that's kind of amazing isn't it I mean it's bad and good at the same time so 25% of our electricity is now from solar you know this is one of those things that kind of it's too slow and then it happens fast you know there are a lot of things like that it's like God it's slow it's slow it's slow um and then it's fast so maybe we'll have a lot of solar here really fast did you hear Biden's latest Gaff if it's a gaff at all he was saying in his speech about Trump but he talked about himself accidentally he said how many times does he have to prove weak can't be trusted how many times does Trump have to have to prove that Biden's Administration can't be trusted well I don't know how many times will it take he still has half of the country on his side so apparently it's not enough well I don't know if we should make anything of that other than Biden's brain is toast and everybody knows it Constantine kissen who you know from trigonometry um very fun and smart commentator on world events has introduced a new word into our vocabulary the retardo sphere the retarda sphere all right I'm just going to read you what he said because it's kind of funny the way he puts it so Constantine kissen says the onx the leftwing sphere was created by sensible people on the left being silent when they should have said something the right-wing spere is being formed in exactly the same way and he says stop sending me DMS about how much you agree with me about the woke right strap on a pair and say something so that that's a little bit different than the point he's going to make next unless you want to be on the side that thinks evolution is quote just a theory I.E doesn't understand what a theory is in science sees America as the bad guy in every war and wants to stop women voting so that that would be his description of the right-wing retardo spere would be people who think evolution is just a theory uh meaning in in their uh view of it is not real and sees America as a bad guy in every war and wants to stop women from voting and then Constantine says I am I am not right-wing but the last thing I want is for the left and right to go full at the same time and then he says truth is King in all caps well may I uh take a moment to defend the retardo spere would you like that are there any members of the sphere here who who would uh is there anybody here who would identify with not fully accepting Evolution seeing America as the bad guy in at least the recent Wars and thinks that women should stop voting is anybody in that category here any one of those all right A lot of people are saying yes all right here's my take on it and I think Constantine is is pretty far off on his frame for this uh I like his General thinking you know his General thinking is I don't want to be associated with crazy people that's good or irrational people so I like the basic thrust of it but here's what I think he might be missing because as he says he's not rightwing so there's some things that if you spend more time in that sphere you get a little Nuance on these things so I'm going to give a little Nuance that may may not be obvious to the Casual traveler okay number one the part about Evolution being just a theory yes it is embarrassing when somebody says they don't believe in evolution because it's quote just a theory if I can educate you on one thing it's that people who understand science will think you're a if you say something's not proven because it's just a theory because in the scientific realm Theory means it is proven hypothesis means it's not proven Theory means there's so much evidence for it you might as well just call it a fact but because science doesn't like to commit itself knowing that sometimes even a fact or something they thought was absolutely true can sometimes be overturned so they do keep it a little bit weak just because you never know what a fact is for sure um but it is not true that theory means they're not quite sure about it they're very very sure about it and that's what the word theory means in their domain so get that part right just know that in common language Theory means unproven but in scientific language it means very very much proven does everybody know that now again it doesn't mean they're right I'm just telling you what the words mean in their domains you know we'll talk about who's right separately okay so get that right because you will sound like a bad debater if you get that that word usage wrong that's a real red flag for somebody who's who's going to mock you for not understanding science however it is a very common um it's a common misunderstanding and I think I I don't think that anybody disbelieves the theory of evolution because the word theory is used would you agree with that there's nobody who disbelieves it simply because they use the word theory so for Constantine to point that out as something he wants to mock I don't really think that's something anybody actually believes I think they disbelieve Evolution for a reason that I'll talk about could be a right reason could be a bad reason I'm not saying it's a good or bad reason but I'm saying it has nothing to do with the word so if you think that anybody has this belief because they didn't know how to use this word correctly in the domain of science that's a complete misdirection it's just really they're using the word wrong has nothing to do with their actual opinion of the the topic it's just the word so I would say that that's not a fair statement but I think the larger point if I could read between the lines I'm not a mind reader but I think what he means is more the general idea that Revolution is proven according to science and that if you say you're not buying it you're being sort of anti-science in a way that so that seems to be Constantine's point but I would like to offer the following counterpoints number one when tuer Carlson who really got this whole conversation going when tuer Carlson says doesn't believe in evolution Because he believes that God made us do you think that Tucker regards that as a scientific fact that God made us I think what maybe Constantine is missing is that this is what i' call a lifestyle belief a lifestyle belief it's not in the domain of what's true or false it's a choice based on faith the the reason there's a word faith is because it's very distinct from I looked at the facts and Science guided me so to me when I see Tucker say that uh he has a belief that God made it to me that's a lifestyle choice to have that worldview I don't think that's the same as not thinking evolution is real to me those are different concepts so I think you have to understand that some people make a choice to accept an entire let's say philosophy because following the philosophy has worldly benefits meaning it helps you today and maybe helps you go to heaven if you think that's part of the plan so when I look at Christians let's say the the Tucker types who believe that God created the earth I say to myself well I don't know if you've got the mechanism right but I'm not so I'm not so I don't lack so much humility that I think I know the answer so I think there's a little lack of humility when you say I know the answer of how we all got here and you got it wrong so that bothers me a little bit but I think you have to understand that religious faith is not trying to compete with science it's more like if I buy this entire package I can see that it works While I'm Alive it might even work after I'm dead if I go to heaven so it's really just a a choice about what works and I don't think you should fact check it I'm not going to fact check the Muslims right I mean I used to think that was something I could do it's like huh I'm not so sure that Muhammad went to heaven on a flying horse don't bother it's not a scientific discussion it is a lifestyle choice to accept a worldview which has a certain set of advantages right here on Earth so um I feel that that has to be said then there's a question uh is America the bad guy in every war well I think the word every is you know a little bit hyperbole but I do believe the that America is the bad guy in recent Wars is that is there anything wrong with that opinion it does seem to me that our recent Wars are driven by energy and the military industrial complex and stuff like that you know the Atlantic Council whatever I don't think we have any kind of a democracy where we're going to save the save the world for Freedom we don't care about anybody else's Freedom we could give a oh I almost did it I'm not going to curse we don't care about the freedom in other countries we will work with their dictator just fine yeah do you think we have a problem with the uh the kingship of uh the royal family in Jordan no no the royal family in Jordan are awesome and we seem to like him and get along just fine no we don't need them to be a democracy as long as are on our team well that's fine so no I do think that America is the bad guy but I'll give a little bit of nuance on that as well I'm not sure being the bad guy is the worst thing it could be it could be that being a good guy is the worst thing you can do CU being a good guy makes you weak and probably get destroyed by somebody who's more of a bad guy I I feel like in the real world when you get outside of the you know the philos philosophical that the the baddest player tends to be in charge and you're probably better off being on the same team roughly speaking as the baddest player in the game so I think America is usually the baddest of the bad but being on the team of the bad guys when they're winning it might be your best bet for survival so I think you can be on the bad team and also say it's good for you so I think I think that's fair to say but no America is not always the good guy and everything we say about why we do what we do is all Bs would you agree the reasons we give like oh we're going to save your democracy oh we got to make sure those dominoes don't fall all the Communists are going to come and get you none of that's real that's completely made up it's always about money and energy and Military and you know and all that but as I say again keeping our economy Strong by raping other countries seems to be a good business model and it does keep us safer so it's a complicated world and how about this one uh uh the and the sphere uh wants to stop women from voting how serious do you think that is now I see that a lot it's like a a common thing but has a lot to do with the Democrats you know being largely a party of women and a lot of the Bas crazy things are seem to be driven by women but I don't think anybody's serious about that I mean not when I say not anybody there are a few people who act like they're serious about it I don't think so yeah I I don't think they're super serious about it so I think Constantine may you know as he says he's not rightwing so he may see these things as a little more serious than they are little more serious but more to the point if when you say truth is King in all capitals there's sort of a suggestion there that you know what the truth is and the other people got it wrong how's that sit with you let let me let's talk about evolutionary biology that uh science got right now if got it right wouldn't that be really unique in science to be right we know that 50% of the studies can't be reproduced um I'm pretty sure that climate change is completely BS if you look at the models I'm pretty sure that the field of psychology is probably more BS than that I'm pretty sure the string theory is not going to pan out I don't think physicists can really explain any of the things that they're talking about but the math works you know and sometimes the experiment will will prove they were right but I don't think they know what's going on I don't I don't think they can explain the double slit experiment without using words that just sound crazy so you know uh chemistry is probably pretty solid because you can you know run the experiment and see if it works and Engineering is solid so we're real good at well not we but people some people were're not are good at making rockets that can maybe go tomorrow someday but that's engineering right science is as close to completely broken as anything has ever been so it feels almost an outof dat opinion to say that truth is King and believe the science we just came out of a pandemic believing the science sounds like the dumb view at this point and so I'd like to suggest that the people are saying that they know which science is correct because science is good and they've got all these facts I'd like to suggest that I'm not sure that's the smartest take in 2024 in 2024 I think everything that can't be proven in an experiment on a table like chemistry is probably BS it's there's a far greater chance is not true now I got dragged into this Evolution thing because I said the following I said that uh the survival of the fitness or I'm sorry survival what do they call it natural selection I said in a post that natural selection was no longer believed by most uh scientists now of course the people who believe that they knew scientists jumped all over me and said what are you talking about natural selection is believed by almost all scientists to which I said I probably should have said uh survival the fittest because if you're not aware of this one of the most famous evolutionary biologist types Stephen J Gould um he was famous for having shown that survival of the fittest in its most narrow sense wasn't a good explanation of what was happening in other words it wasn't just that you competed better so you survived but there were a whole bunch of things that could cause you to survive that were not directly related to how fit you were as a competitor sometimes it was just luck sometimes you just happened to be where there weren't any competitors so you weren't like especially fit to compete you just didn't need to compete now other people say Scott Scott Scott you using compete to narrowly if if there's a limit to resources you're at the very least competing for the limited resources and if the resources are not limited at the moment if your population keeps growing eventually you hit a limit and then you will be competing for resources but there are these other these other elements like luck that could be part of it as well now here's what I say and see if this blows your brain up what does natural selection mean if it means all of those things that are part of the natural process so what's it mean it doesn't mean anything so the me the mechanism to describe evolution is that hey it looks like things changed these things are part of nature so it's natural selection so nature selected what the outcome was how could that not be the case what would be the alternative to Nature causing it to be the way it is and to me that's such a broad explanation that it doesn't mean anything uh all it is is an observation that here we are do do you get that natural natural selection doesn't mean anything because it means everything if it applies to everything in nature had to happen just the way it did to get us to just where we are it's not really talking about anything and and so here I note that the change was from you know this narrow definition of fitness to some wider definition of you know VAR number of variables involved in my opinion that's a complete change in going from a specific mechanism to just saying I don't know just look nature now I know what you're going to say when what the scientists will say Scott Scott Scott I feel so bad for you when you talk about science because you don't know what's going on and you just don't understand all the sciencey things but I do have a long track record of calling BS on fields in which I don't know anything about them and my track record is really good like really really good at calling BS this to me looks kind of like BS now I'm not doubting that things change over time unless we're as simulation but I do think that if you talk about uh people being dumb for in uh Evolution you kind of have to mention that the simulation is about a billion times more likely than Evolution and if the simulation is true then evolution is just another illusion within the simulation so it's not true it's just an illusion and probably that the history gets created on demand as opposed to the other way around anyway so Constantine who's uh one of the uh more valuable I think public figures and thinkers um everybody has a blind spot and I think if you're not in an in group you almost always have a blind spot for you know the Nuance of the reasoning so there I'm discovered I'm a defending the sphere um all right so the Gateway pundit giving us more details on this judge Cannon and the unredacted documents from Jack Smith in his investigation into the moral Lago um boxes so apparently according to the Gateway pundit some of the things that were redacted but now we can see uh is that uh revealed that Biden's White House had Direct ties to the maral Lago raid the Biden regime was also directly tied to Jack Smith's investigation despite claims to the contrary from meric Garland the uh uh Mir Garland and and uh the redactions also covered up that uh the National Archives had had several conversations with the Biden white house so the whole question was Trump keeps saying that Biden is you know the Biden Administration is orchestrating all the lawfare and everybody oh no what are you talking about I've seen no evidence of that whatsoever yes you've seen no evidence of it because it was redacted and now we've seen it apparently there's lots of evidence that the uh that the Biden White House is directly connected to all these lawfare situations so it's exactly what it looks like it's a lawfare it's completely illegal immoral illegitimate and probably there's nothing will happen about it because the people in charge are the bad guys and if the bad guys are also the ones in charge nothing's going to happen nothing's going to happen about that probably one of the biggest uh Crimes of the century is the lawfare against Trump uh and the January 6 committee probably the biggest uh Rico conspiracy that I've ever seen will be not I don't think it'll be punished at all not at all all right um all right here's a persuasion expert Jonah berer and he was on some Show recently uh teaching people this following persuasion trick and he he used the example of a five-year-olds you were trying to give five-year-olds to help clean up clean up the house or clean up their space or something and the technique um using a Stanford University study well this it was a Stanford University study about 5-year-olds if you say to them uh can you help help clean you'll get a lower um cooperation than if you word it this way instead of can you help clean you say can you be a helper and clean up if you say can you be a helper you're giving somebody the option of accepting an identity when people accept an identity then they act on the identity it's automatic if you if you ask them to do something they compare it to their identity and if it's not in their identity they don't do it so this is a technique which I've also talked about but I call it the uh the Jesus persuasion Jesus persuasion is telling you that you could be a better person so it's encouraging you to adopt an identity as a more moral and virtuous person than you were before you heard the you know before you heard your lord talk to you so it's very appealing to say to somebody hey how would you like to upgrade your identity from you know peasant who has nothing going for you to believer who has a higher moral standard and is going to happen and you think I wouldn't mind being one of those and then once you become one all of the all the activities that go with it just come automatically all right now do you understand why I uh register as a different party from what I usually Advocate does that make sense now does do you understand why I'm not a joiner I don't join groups because as soon as you join a group and identify in a real way you know I I register as a Democrat but I don't mean it so it's not my identity so I try to avoid having an identity because the moment you have an identity it causes all actions to conform and that's what team play does so if you say to somebody you're a Democrat they're going to start acting like one even if they were not inclined to before identity creates activity so you gota you got to change somebody's identity if you want them to change their behavior almost nothing else works because people don't act against their identity like if you think you're an honest person you don't rob a bank right it it it's pretty much a direct a direct effect if you think you're an academic you're probably more likely to go to school right what whatever you think you are you're likely to do that thing so this is a really really good persuasion uh technique now let's apply it let's say you're a Republican and you want Republicans to vote do you say make sure you vote no no no cuz make sure you vote is telling you what to do it's not no identity now compare that to this be one of the people who saves America help us save America vote oh now you get a little identity do you want to be a savior do you want to do you want to be like the Boston Tea Party do you want to be a patriot you know P Patriots a word that not everybody's comfortable with but it's an identity now the identity that I uh have most accepted in the past is Patriot because I think wow you know I I just want to be on the side of the people who are on the side of the country but lately when given that half of the country canceled me I I was asked recently um somebody was giving me a hard time um on some point and they said but oh because I said something about Israel and they said but you wouldn't say you're uh that you don't support America just because America does some bad things with you to which I said huh America canel me half of it so no I don't support America America canceled me the current system which I call America ganged up on me identified me discriminated against me and has been discriminating against me in employment for over 30 years I've lost four different careers for being a white guy so why would I support that I do not support America that's my current brand new opinion and I think I was you know largely hypnotized that I ever did here's what I support you I support you citizens who did not cancel me period because you're actually good people and I like good people and I like most of the things that you like and I identify with you I'm definitely one of you and I'm completely on your team but America was lost decades ago so to say that I support America would say that I'm in some kind of a brainwashed you know gooner situation in which I'm like Oh waave my flag nope unfortunately I've been far too blackpilled to say I support the brainwashing collection of things which our masters have given to us I support the citizens and there are a number of things I support like freedom of speech for example and second amendment for example so I definitely support those things and there's a whole bunch of stuff in the Constitution that I think is terrific so I'm I'm Pro Constitution but do I support the government no the government is my enemy and I mean that literally the government is my enemy I mean the government has decided I'm their enemy and has weaponized its own resources against me personally personally yeah I've experienced it in a personal way so no I'm not going to be on the side of my enemy because my enemy is literally trying to destroy me my government is trying to put me out of business and they tried really hard they just couldn't try harder than they did without you know an overreach so they did it the clever way they can through their you know minions so now don't ask me to salute the flag or even stand for it I I don't I don't believe I would even stand for this the Pledge of Allegiance at this point because I think it's absurd I I think the country is so far from any image of America that was the kind that you hold in your mind as the good one the one you wanted to support we're so far from that I mean the Biden Administration is just a criminal Enterprise the CIA has been running the show since probably the 50s or 60s we're nothing like a Democratic Republic nothing like that and we are being robbed every day so that richer people can sell weapons to people basically so no I don't support any of that all right fake protest season is coming as you all know we all expect the big summer of fake protests and what we don't know yet is if the prop palis inan protesters who some would call pramas um we don't know if that's going to be the summer protest or if there might be some new one but I suspect it will but there is a wrinkle don't you expect that the summer protests are always going to be sort of pro-democrat anti-republican that's the ones you expect right because you think oh George Soros is funding people he's sort of closer to the Democrats so it's going to be sort of a Democrat friendly protesting summer Riot group like BML or you know in its own way antifa so does that apply to these groups well I looked a little bit did some Googling and apparently some of the organizers of these recent protests are funded by the Soros organization so apparently Soros is funding things now you'd normally think this would work out well for Democrats relative to Republicans but it turns out that the protester surrounded Senate leader Chuck Schumer's home in Brooklyn and he's Jewish imagine being Senator Schumer a Jewish American and you look out the window and a whole bunch of people with Hamas colors and Palestinian flags and stuff are demonstrating against you and and uh it's not too far not too long after October 7th how do you think how do you think Chuck Schumer feels about that now let me tell you I'm not politically I don't often well a few times I have I don't often agree with Chuck Schumer so politically I'm not in his side but I don't want to see anybody in my country surrounded suspiciously because they're Jewish I don't think it's just because he's the speaker of the house that feel it feels like they're getting a twofer there and I'm not really comfortable with that so I wonder will the Democrats and Soros and the people who generally are favorable to that point of view are they going to say we went too far and we unleashed a force that's going to eat Us Alive because this force is going to eat alive the Democrats somehow for some reason Republicans are getting pass I guess because ranana power at least in the presidency so Trump is getting a hell of a free pass I don't know how long that's going to last I think it has everything to do with him being out of power so let's uh let's keep an eye on this uh they're asking Schumer to stop arming Israel and uh earlier in the day Schumer asked thanked speaker Mike Johnson for passing the Ukraine Israel funding Bill all right so here's my question Mike Johnson is not Jewish as far as I know um Schumer is they were both involved in passing the legislation but the Jewish guy is surrounded is that a coincidence it does feel like they're going for the twofer doesn't it so it's a it's hard to be comfortable with that as just free speech I mean I guess it is Free Speech but it's hard to feel that it's you know purely a policy thing and not something much much worse anyway so we'll keep an eye on that I don't know if that'll become the summer riots um but I suspect it will I just think it might backfire it might be the summer riots that they wish they hadn't instigated and I remind you that there's no such thing as spontaneous organic protests that's really not a thing the only way these protests happen is if organizations that are already founded and they've got some members and they get funding from somebody like Soros or some other source and then they've got money to do something and they've got members and then they got something to do but it's not like there's people just were sitting around watching the news and then they thought oh I think I'll go out and protest in the streets and get arrested now it's mostly organized stuff um persitz had a uh opinion piece in I think it was the Wall Street Journal and uh he was talking about Biden's recent Gaff where he sort of both-sided the Israel Palestinian Hamas situation and in so doing he he became sort of an example of the fine people hoax himself in other words it looked like he was creating some kind of a moral equivalency between Israel and the terrorists who attacked Israel now you could argue whether that's a correct take or not but here's what I'd like to say uh dtz did debunk the fine people hoax um but he did it in such a poor way that I have to criticize him I don't know if I've ever criticized dtz before in terms of his opinions because I often call him out as one of the best you know uh intellectuals in public and willing to say the difficult things even if it doesn't agree with his team so generally I see him as you know at the highest level of intellectual credibility and so so I very much appreciate that he here's what he said I'll give you his quote so you're not you're not listening to me say he said quote you had some very U oh he's talking about Trump's quote on Charlottesville so he's quoting Trump you had some very bad people in that group but you also had some people that were very fine people on both sides Mr.

Trump said now this is according to dtz he later explained meaning Trump that he meant both sides of the debate over whether to remove a Confederate monument and that the anti-semitic chanters were very bad people he had in mind he should have been clearer from the start that's where he lost me he should have been clearer from the start no alen dtz you're letting your team get a your team of the Democrats you're letting them get away with this too easily this was not a case of a hoax was created by Trump not being clear at the very same time that he said the fine people thing he said a few things and then within I think 60 seconds he said and I'm not talking about the neo-nazis they should be condemned totally now that is the clearest statement anybody ever made about anything and for El dtz to say he should have been clearer from the start is G a total pass to the bad guys on his team on his team the bad guys who turned it into propaganda he should have said this was never a thing he was very clear that he wasn't talking about him and the bad guys his team turned it into a hoax that changed the nature of America and has almost destroyed it now that's a fair assessment anyway um and then he went on to say Biden had this week his own moment of unclarity well I think it is fair to say that Biden was unclear which also is not a full condemnation of what he said because I I think that there's a little bit of piling on because of the piling on at Charlesville but uh I think Biden was unclear but Trump was not unclear and I don't think you should draw an equivalent between them alen dtz who I have much respect for intellectually I think you just got this completely wrong uh there's uh saw a post and some data from was it n Wess I think the account and Wess um that the number of here's a demographic breakdown of men and women uh Democrat versus Republican so uh the Democrats in married men they have 39 % are married are married men so less than half are married men married women 42% so less than half or fewer than half which is correct fewer than half or less than half is there any pedantic people is it less than half or fewer than half or both it might be one of those cases where both works because sometimes only one is the proper way but we don't often call that out anyway so whichever it is then unmarried men 45% again less than half so the only demographic that Democrats have the majority in of the married and unmarried men and women stuff is 68% of the single women are Democrats 68% of single women are Democrats now without being unkind and referring to Scientific data single women and liberal single women in particular are known to be especially batshit crazy meaning literally they seek the therapy the most they're literally the most miserable uh um depressed mentally ill group and I don't know how much longer we can go without calling it out for what it is because we're pretending we have a political difference it's not a political difference when one of you has a mental illness and I think I've called it down enough that you can see it when you see the the women the Democrat women on TV not all of them there are plenty of them that don't fall into this category but don't you notice that they look mentally ill can't you tell just by looking at them and again I'm not saying all Democrats or anything like that but there's a ton of women who are Democrats who when they talk you look at their eyes and their expression and all you see is mental illness and to continue ignoring the obvious that we have a mental illness problem that is pretending to be a political philosophy um I think is not helping us at all so we should call it out for what it is you know uh Constantine calls it uh um what do you call it the uh sphere but I think that's giving it too much credit if you call it the sphere you're you're sort of acting like you were born that way but I think that TDS has literally made people crazy which means it's not necessarily their own fault so I have some sympathy for the mentally ill Democrats because I do think that they were propagandized so hard by their own team that Trump is Hiller that the idea that there's you know something like an equal number of Americans who want Hitler according to their view of the world that's got to be the most distressing depressing saddest alarming thing I could ever imagine put yourself in their position you're you're a single woman and you've been told and you believed it that an actual Hitler was coming into office to take away your democracy and I don't know turn you into baby makers or something yeah that would be of course that would make you mentally ill why wouldn't it so I'm not sure there's anybody to blame except the the propaganda people on the Democrat side have destroyed the mental health of their own team the Republicans were able to withstand the propaganda do you know why can you tell me why the propaganda that the Democrats completely mentally Disturbed their own people why did it have little to no effect on Republicans tell me you know the answer why did it have little or no effect on Republicans no not because Republicans have more men although they do it's not that critical thinking no they get both sides no news better news no they knew was fake no guns no BS detector no media okay I must be the worst teacher in the history of teachers I literally just gave you an entire lesson on why this is happening Republicans have an identity so their identity is completely uh protective against Democrat propaganda Democrat propaganda doesn't work with somebody who identifies as not a Democrat if you if you identify as Republican their propaganda just bounces off you you don't need better news and better sources you don't need to see both sides you don't need better critical thinking but I think it's humorous that you gave yourself all those paths on the back all right I if you could take a moment just take a moment to think about the the comments you were watching the comments at the same time you were all patting yourself on the back for your advantages well it's probably because we have better critical thinking yeah it's that's probably because we see the news on both sides maybe it's because we're not mentally ill maybe it's because men are smarter than women and women are emotional and they're more men and Republicans did you see how you just you just immediately ran to compliment yourselves and do you know what you complimented yourselves on fill in the blanks what did you compliment yourself on your identity yeah you basically gave me answers that went to your identity so your identity is you see both sides you're logical you're not you're not driven by emotional Spirits you know you see things as they real that's your identity that's not thinking that's not reasoning that's not facts and data that was your identity this might be the best lesson I've ever given because I didn't realize that you would all fall into this trap I didn't plan it this way but but is anybody having a moment you're seeing this right you're seeing it in real time that the persuasion the persuasion rule that identity is everything and do something differently never works for anybody you you just watched you you solidify around your identity with no regard to the facts with no regard to the facts but you just complemented yourself at how awesome you are in your identity now uh if that sounded like a criticism it shouldn't be you should take it as a like a mind openening moment because as I've told you before um even though identify you know often as far left of some of your opinions I prefer you as humans so my audience are the people I would want to be around if I were ever in trouble I would want you guys to show up first you know what I mean you know if my car is on fire and I'm trapped in it I want all of you to be the first ones on the scene you get that right because you're the ones who would pull me out at Great personal risk that's who I want on my team I don't need to agree with you on your religious beliefs nope I just need to know that if I'm in a burning car you're the car that's going to stop and for that same reason I will stop for you so that's important so I'm very bonded in terms of you know that that Dynamic but I I try not to give myself an identity beyond the fact that there's some character there's some character things and some policy things that we're totally in agreement on all right um the anti-trump legal commentators according to the Daily Caller there's a group of the worst people in the world according to me who have a weekly Zoom meeting to talk about how they can you know present the case against Trump in the most persuasive way so here's the here are the people who are meeting on Zoom weekly to you know make sure they're all on the same page about going after Trump so you've got uh let's see Norman Eisen he's a CNN legal analyst you've got Bill Crystal MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissman lawyer Jeffrey tubin Jeffrey tubin on the zoom call it's a zoom call Jeffrey tubin on it you're probably wondering are you just going to let that go Scott that there's a zoom call with a bunch of lawyers who are anti-trump and one of them's Jeffrey tubin am I just going to let that go also has Lawrence tribe former Nixon White House counsel uh um although he's you know super Democrat at the moment um John Dean he's a Lincoln project co-founder George Conway we all know George Conway and Harry Litman and then for some reason Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin is in these meetings so it seems to me that another way to report this story would be that there's a group of people who meet weekly on Zoom to masturbate over Trump's legal issues I think it's being led by tubin and uh if they're not jerk buddies I don't know who is so I'm going to refer to them anytime I see any of these lawyers as the jerk buddies they're just getting on zoom and gooning over oh I think he's going down now oh oh tell me more about what Jack Smith said oh redact me baby redact it that's how I see it redact me hard um is that true somebody just said they're all Jewish is that true George Conway John Dean no I don't think I don't think they're all Jewish but the fact that there were a lot of lawyers who are also Jewish is not not the biggest surprise in the world no I don't think they're all Jewish um so the Tik Tock so they're calling it a ban but it's not uh so the Tik Tock Bill apparently get is going to make it to the president's desk and he's going to sign it now I think this is a total fake I don't think Tik tok's going to disappear one of two things is going to happen they've got a year to fight it in court and they'll either win in court and it will stay just the way it is or um it will be divested to an American company purely for the purpose of our own CIA having a back door to it so that instead of China having all our private information and being able to control us and brainwash us our own country will be able to have all of our personal information and usage and who we're connected to and also uh brainwashes I'm not entirely sure that's an upgrade now I I of course have been one of the most uh um vocal proponents of banning Tik Tok but only if you're really going to ban it if all you're doing is putting the CIA in charge of it it's just you're just changing the warden you didn't let anybody out of jail I want I want people to get out of jail I'm not looking for a different reward that that's buying me nothing so I think that the the public has been duped into thinking something has happened and and your Congress is finally acting and you know there's things and processes and I don't think anything is happening it's either going to go right back to the way it was because of some you know court case or it's going to be worse because our CIA will be in charge of it I don't know doesn't look good to me um and the thing that the thing that makes me most suspicious is that it went from having no support to suddenly everybody loved it and it got you know put into a bill that you couldn't resist or at least Congress couldn't resist that to me that just looks like our intelligence people decided it was time to make a play and they just made a play to own the thing and remember where Constantine said hey I don't think you can say America is the bad guy in every war I think the I think America just stole one of China's biggest companies or at least the American Business part of it I don't know you know I don't think China should have been in control obviously but I don't think we're the good guys all right um according to the Gateway pundit the headlines are sort of missing this story that stormmy Daniels owes Trump 300,000 plus interest for her false claims she made against him so storby Daniels is actually paying Trump for false claims made against them the courts have ruled at the same time Trump's in court for uh what an accounting thing that nobody can even understand why it's illegal literally the experts are I don't even know why this is illegal I I don't even understand it so of course that's anyway um Elon Musk was commenting on a graph that I think uh was going around that showed that U around 205 is I wonder what was happening about then the words racism and racist and race were used in newspapers uh up 361 to 700% starting around 2014 is actually so as Elon mus says this graph illustrates the woke mind virus taking over Legacy Media uh same happened with online media and the education system than is spread to other countries and here's what I say I don't think there's any force that will make wokeness go away and I I think our uh our impression that it's being beaten back is because if you read a lot of right leaning Republican kind of news sources they're always you know trumpeting the anecdotal story of this University or this Texas place got rid of uh Dei and stuff like that but I think it's growing faster than it's being reduced that's my sense of it we just see the stories where it's being reduced we don't see all the times that somebody added their di you know added the DI staff so I don't think it's correcting itself at all um but there is a force that could correct it and it might be forming up it hasn't kicked off yet so there was a court case recently I think it was the Supreme Court that said that uh white people could sue for discrimination in employment now we haven't seen a big wave of that but given that uh Steven Miller has that America First fund which seems to be designed exactly for this sort of thing which is to push individual cases that have a you know larger political Dimension to them and what I'd love to see is the funding for that backing a bunch of uh anti-white discrimination cases because if it becomes impossible to be in business and discriminate against white people because it's just too expensive the trial lawyers and the insurance companies just eat you up that could change things I don't think anything changes until it's expensive so here where I might disagree with Elon Musk that uh that people will just sort of see the I'm not sure what mechanism he thinks would reverse it so I won't I won't read his mind but the only mechanism that reverses anything is money nothing else really makes a difference it's just money and even when it looks like is not money it's money right because if somebody's let's say defending the reputation right that's kind of money really so as soon as it gets too expensive to discriminate against white people which has never been the case it's always been easy and it would be easier to discriminate against white people than it would be to explain why you don't have enough diversity so as soon as it becomes more expensive to screw white people there'll be less of it but we're not there yet all right um I I said again provocatively and I'm going to tell you this story only because the persuasion element of it because you you've heard it before uh as you know the ADL came after me and the head of the ADL accused me of being a Holocaust denier in public now I don't have to defend myself from that because you should be wise enough to know that's not a thing I'm obviously not a holocaust Den now they said that in public about me now the ADL is going after a number of other people in similarly specious ways and what I've said is that I don't support Israel uh because the ADL is my enemy and then I also say because I know how people respond that I say yes I know they don't report to Israel yes I know the ADL does not report to Israel but that's not my problem now how many of you think that what I say doesn't make sense in the comments does it not make sense when I say I don't support Israel because the ADL who is not who is not funded by Israel that came after me soes that makes sense now remember I said that um Israel doesn't own the ADL they don't control them but that's not my problem yeah no my problem is that uh a substantial entity that has offices in Israel and they say that their uh mission is this is from the adl's own words the ADL Works to support a secure Jewish and Democratic state of Israel living in peace and security and for decades they've worked to secure Israel and Democratic State promote a strong and constructive us Israel relationship so to me that's the ADL working for Israel now if you say but Israel doesn't control them then I say let me introduce you to the real world may I if Israel kicked their ass out of Israel and said you're embarrassing us so badly that you can't have an office Israel you're just making us look like idiots do you think the ADL could survive that if Israel said hey just for the record we want to say this once the ADL does not represent us they see they're a disreputable organization and we disavow them do you think the ADL could survive that well the management couldn't the ADL probably could but the management couldn't they'd have to change management so when I say I don't support the nation of Israel because the ADL went after me does that sound crazy it's not my problem that they don't directly pay the ADL it's true but that's not my problem here's the thing if somebody on your team who is so on your team that they've got an office in your country and their entire mission one of the the Topline mission statements is to make sure that that other country is doing fine they're working for the same team and if somebody on your team is trying to destroy me which they are the ADL tried very hard then no I do not back Israel and don't ask me to all right so I don't care if Israel fixes it but just don't ask me to help now you might say to yourself um Scott how much were you backing Israel before which is a good question do you think that there's anything I do or have done that has any impact on Israel in any meaningful way in the comments give me your give me your opinion do you think that it means anything or is it just you know talking on Twitter or X well here's what I think it would depend if you thought I had some uh influence on the region or if you thought I was authoring the simulation it might matter um but at the moment I think that the ADL is destroying the reputation of Israel and uh that's not my fault all right as long as the ADL and Israel are joined at the hip um I don't support the nation of Israel now I'm not I'm not supporting their destruction and I'm not supporting the the enemies of Israel and I'm not you know I wasn't donating before but I definitely don't think the United States should give them any money now one of the arguments I heard is that uh David boxing hor makes this argument that if uh we didn't fund Israel with the requirement that they buy our weapons then Israel would create its own weapons manufacturing because of course they would need weapons and then we wouldn't have as much influence over them because they would be independently making their own weapons instead of relying on us to which I say there's a pretty big advantage on relying on us for weapons the biggest one is it it's not easy to bomb our one Factory if Israel had some weapons making factories there would probably be two or three that if you took them man of operation they would be completely out of weapons but the United States probably is harder to get to meaning that if the weapons are here and we ship them to Israel it's probably a safer weapons you know situation so it's a complicated situation but I don't I don't favor uh any American money going to Israel as long as they have a better debt situation than we do as long as the ADL is after me so I think Israel has to live with the bad reputation of the ADL at a time when they're getting a lot of um a lot of pressure from the outside world I do think Israel is giving up their Holocaust chip um it will never be the same after this and that doesn't mean it's the wrong choice from their perspective so let me give you the the uh my real opinion of the whole Hamas Gaza Israel situation I think anybody who's picking the moral Winning Side is probably in some kind of a losing conversation because we first of all we don't have any influence at least I don't I I have no influence over that so my take is it's like gravity my my take on the region is that whoever's in charge is going to be the warden and whoever is not in charge is going to be in jail if you were to reverse the situation the Israelis would feel like they're in jail even if it's not true and it would look like the wardens were the Palestinians currently it looks like Israel has the most power and whether it's an accurate statement of what's happening or not the the Palestinians feel like they're in jail and the Israelis are the warden if that's not going to change and it's not then what you're then what you're watching is is just a a power Dynamic playing out so to have an opinion on it feels to me like I'm holding a rock in my hand and I let go of the rock should I have an opinion about whether the rock will fall to Earth I could have an opinion but it would be absurd the only thing that makes sense is just to watch it just observe it because you know it's going to go and now it's gravity and has nothing to do with your opinion so when I watch things in the Middle East I think oh I think I should add my opinion to this for what it's just gravity whoever is the strongest entity is going to it's going to feel like the weaker entity is being abused even if it's not true and the reason is that the systems are incompatible and they can never be compatible there is no way that those those groups the Islamic population and the Jewish population are going to find a way to live together in peace with two two countries next to each other to imagine that could happen seems so disconnected from reality that these are people who by their their Central belief system can't possibly get along in the way that you imagine people of the same belief system could I I think we make the mistake of thinking Well it can't be that different from a red and the blue State and yet we find ways to live together next to each other no it's not like that at all it's not even slightly like that the American system we can disagree with each other but we know we're under the same system right the constitution in theory is the umbrella under which we're all arguing so we're all trying to be the better versions of adhering to the Constitution you maybe sometimes you want to tweak it but you're still talking talking about how can we be the better version of a constitutional you know citizenship nothing like that's happening over in the Middle East in the Middle East there are two incompatible systems that can never be compatible and there's only going to be a winner and a loser and at the moment Israel has the upper hand to have an opinion on that would be like having an opinion on gravity it's just what it is it's it's just what it is now the opinion I can have is not to associate my own brand or reputation with it because again I don't have anything to do with it so if I if I embraced it then I'm giving something away for free for nothing I I would be giving away my reputational value what little it has for nothing it wouldn't make them more successful or less but it would make me a victim of whatever you know abuse I got for having an opinion on it so I don't support Israel but I don't support their enemies I love the Jewish people you know my personal relationships have always been amazing with Jewish citizens as well as Israeli citizens um probably one of my favor favorite demographic groups I say that just because some of you are anti-semitic and it'll make you mad but yeah but historically um everything from dating to my best friends I I've been very heavily weighted toward the Jewish population because I like smart people is that okay I like smart people and uh they're real lot of educated Jewish people and it's fun to talk to smart people all right um that ladies and gentlemen is what I had for you to today I don't know if uh the rumble studio is going to let me talk privately to the locals people but I'm going to give it a try um I've refreshed my browser situation so it might work this time let's give it a try thanks for joining on Rumble and x and You.

Tube let's see if this works all right local supporters only maybe uh nope looks like everybody's still here hey everybody um I'm sure they'll get that bug fix that that that feature had work every day until a few days ago all right uh no you don't have the drinking bleach article that's the first draft but thank you thank you for asking about it all right that's all for now um I'm going to end and uh I'll talk to the uh locals people later in the man cave all right uh just start an after show stream now you'll hate it if I start another stream all right that's it for today I'll see you all in the morning and the locals people I'll see you in the man cave tonight bye for now let's see if this really closes e e e e e e e

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams I'm

pretty sure you've never had a better

time today I'm going to attempt to get

through the entire show with no cursing

whatsoever I know maybe I didn't do so

well yesterday if you know what I mean

but today no cursing

and if you'd like to take your

experience up to that level of

godliness there's nothing else you could

call it all you need for that is a

coverer mug glass a tanker chel s a

canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee enjoy me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine here

the day thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous

siping happens now go

well ladies and

gentlemen if you were a subscriber to

the Dilbert reborn comic on the

xplatform or you were a member of the

locals Community Scott adam. locals you

would know that Tina the tech writer is

being replaced by AI but in the ultimate

insult the ultimate employee

insult Tina will be asked to train her

AI replacement

yeah it's probably one of the number one

suggestions I get from people when they

when I ask for Dilbert ideas you know

hey is anything bothering you at your

workplace the the one I get more than

any other one well actually the one I

get the

most is people uh leaving smelly things

in microwaves but I can't write comics

about smells it just kind of doesn't

work

and and they talk about Ste in food from

the refrigerator because those are like

the simplest dumbest comic ideas but the

other one is people being fired or

replaced and being asked to train their

replacement now imagine if you had to

train AI as your replacement is that

better or is that worse I don't know

we'll explore that in the dber comic

well I got to tell you about something

that happened to me in the simulation

yesterday for about

I don't know several years

now probably at least once a day I've

said to myself you know what I should

sit down and I should dedicate a whole

bunch of my time to writing up what the

uh the drinking bleach hoax was how it

was executed and really do a good job on

it so yesterday um I fell asleep working

during the afternoon which is not

uncommon I woke up next to my laptop as

I often do in my man cave

and uh I really don't sleep enough I

think that's probably the bottom line

there and I felt all inspired suddenly

and I said darn it I'm going to write

this up and so I I I put three hours of

the most inspired best writing of my

life and I wrote up the whole bleach

drinking hoax and if I'm being honest

about my own work it's just some of the

best work I've ever done my

life and after years of thinking about

it every day and thinking I've got to do

this for the world and it could change

it could change the really the course of

history and when I was done I looked at

it and I said

damn this thing is going to be super

viral like everybody's going to read

this it's going to uncover the entire

technique of creating hoaxes tell people

how they fell for it show them very

clearly that it was a hoax and it was

going to be one of the three 10 pole

hoaxes and when I was done and I hit uh

publish there was a technical bug that

ate it and it's gone

forever

so sometimes the simulation has its own

plan

apparently do you get a preview no it's

gone forever it's literally gone just a

technical problem and

I don't know if I can do it

again so here will be the interesting

part I tend to think that things like

this have some kind of a weird purpose

to them because I can't think of the

last time I lost a

document do you remember the last time

you lost a document after you'd finished

it it's almost something that doesn't

happen in the modern you know

technological World very rare but it's

definitely gone and I thought to myself

there must be some reason I'm not

allowed to do

this now I you know obviously I don't

see any specific mechanism to to make

that happen but it's really a weird

coincidence that the most important

thing I've written in years by far you

know the the most consequential thing

that would actually had put a big you

know dent in the whole

world

disappeared I just don't know how to

explain that it's just such a weird

coincidence so here's what here's what

we'll watch

for does it mean that I was meant to

rewrite

it

better what do you

think is The Universe telling me it

wasn't good enough and I have to do it

better because it's that important or is

The Universe telling me don't do

it or is it nothing but a coincidence I

don't know I don't think the human brain

knows how to sort out this stuff but

I'll let you know if I write

it

anyway I do I did have an earlier draft

of it so I might be able to put it back

together uh Thomas Massie tells us that

the house Sergeant at Arms wants to find

him $500 maybe a day per day for having

a post on X that shows a video of the

house and all the and a number of the

members waving Ukrainian Flags during

the vote about the Ukrainian

funding now do you think that the uh

house Sergeant at Arms has the authority

to find him because of something he

posted on

X well apparently that there's some kind

of rule that says you can't have a video

of you know the proceedings

inside and if it was his own video and

he took it and then he posted it that

probably would be a violation

on the other hand it does seem like

absolutely legitimate

news and I would be very happy to see it

so of course I reposted it to make sure

that more people saw it and I'd like to

make an offer to Thomas Massie that uh

if it turns out that he's going to pay

$500 a day I will I will pay for one of

those days so I'll pledge $500 if it

gets

fined I I'll pay $500 to you know either

to his camp campaign or something so I

I'll try to make sure that he's uh the

blow is softened right and if anybody

else wants to commit to paying for a day

um you can pay for your free speech

because Free Speech costs uh let's see

free speech costs $500 a day for free

speech

yeah well California my state has so

much solar power it turns out that uh

during the

day um there's more solar power than

there is demand for it now we still have

overall there's an energy problem

because it's not balanced but so many

people in California took the government

government rebates and everything and

put solar on their house that when we

get that afternoon baking sun we're

actually creating more energy than we're

using that's kind of amazing isn't it I

mean it's bad and good at the same time

so 25% of our electricity is now from

solar you know this is one of those

things that kind of it's too slow and

then it happens fast you know there are

a lot of things like that it's like God

it's slow it's slow it's

slow um and then it's fast so maybe

we'll have a lot of solar here really

fast did you hear Biden's latest Gaff if

it's a gaff at

all he was saying in his speech about

Trump but he talked about himself

accidentally he said how many times does

he have to prove weak can't be

trusted how many times does Trump have

to have to prove that Biden's

Administration can't be trusted well I

don't know how many times will it take

he still has half of the country on his

side so apparently it's not

enough well I don't know if we should

make anything of that other than Biden's

brain is toast and everybody knows

it Constantine kissen who you know from

trigonometry um very fun and smart

commentator on world events has

introduced a new word into our

vocabulary the retardo

sphere the retarda sphere all right I'm

just going to read you what he said

because it's kind of funny the way he

puts

it so Constantine kissen says the onx

the leftwing sphere was created

by sensible people on the left being

silent when they should have said

something the right-wing spere

is being formed in exactly the same way

and he says stop sending me DMS about

how much you agree with me about the

woke right strap on a pair and say

something so that that's a little bit

different than the point he's going to

make next unless you want to be on the

side that thinks evolution is quote just

a theory I.E doesn't understand what a

theory is in science sees America as the

bad guy in every war and wants to stop

women voting so that that would be his

description of the right-wing retardo

spere would be people who think

evolution is just a theory uh meaning in

in their uh view of it is not real and

sees America as a bad guy in every war

and wants to stop women from

voting and then Constantine says I am I

am not right-wing but the last thing I

want is for the left and right to go

full at the same time and then he

says truth is King in all caps

well may I uh take a moment to defend

the retardo

spere would you like that are there any

members of the sphere here who

who would uh is there anybody here who

would identify with not fully accepting

Evolution seeing America as the bad guy

in at least the recent Wars and thinks

that women should stop

voting is anybody in that category here

any one of

those all right A lot of people are

saying yes all right here's my take on

it and I think Constantine is is pretty

far off on his frame for

this uh I like his General

thinking you know his General thinking

is I don't want to be associated with

crazy

people that's good or irrational people

so I like the basic thrust of it but

here's what I think he might be missing

because as he says he's not rightwing so

there's some things that if you spend

more time in that sphere you get a

little Nuance on these things so I'm

going to give a little Nuance that may

may not be obvious to the Casual

traveler okay number one the part about

Evolution being just a theory yes it is

embarrassing when somebody says they

don't believe in evolution because it's

quote just a theory if I can educate you

on one thing it's that people who

understand science will think you're a

if you say something's not proven

because it's just a theory because in

the scientific realm Theory means it is

proven hypothesis means it's not proven

Theory means there's so much evidence

for it you might as well just call it a

fact but because science doesn't like to

commit itself knowing that sometimes

even a fact or something they thought

was absolutely true can sometimes be

overturned

so they do keep it a little bit weak

just because you never know what a fact

is for

sure um but it is not true that theory

means they're not quite sure about it

they're very very sure about it and

that's what the word theory means in

their domain so get that part right just

know that in common language Theory

means unproven but in scientific

language it means very very much proven

does everybody know that

now again it doesn't mean they're right

I'm just telling you what the words mean

in their domains you know we'll talk

about who's right separately okay so get

that right because you will sound like a

bad debater if you get that that word

usage wrong that's a real red flag for

somebody who's who's going to mock you

for not understanding science however it

is a very common um it's a common

misunderstanding and I think I I don't

think that anybody disbelieves the

theory of evolution because the word

theory is used would you agree with that

there's nobody who disbelieves it simply

because they use the word theory so for

Constantine to point that out as

something he wants to

mock I don't really think that's

something anybody actually believes I

think they disbelieve Evolution for a

reason that I'll talk about could be a

right reason could be a bad reason I'm

not saying it's a good or bad reason but

I'm saying it has nothing to do with the

word so if you think that anybody has

this belief because they didn't know how

to use this word correctly in the domain

of science that's a complete

misdirection it's just really they're

using the word wrong has nothing to do

with their actual opinion of the the

topic it's just the word so I would say

that that's not a fair statement but I

think the larger point if I could read

between the lines I'm not a mind reader

but I think what he means is more the

general idea that Revolution is proven

according to

science and that if you say you're not

buying it you're being sort of

anti-science in a way that so

that seems to be Constantine's point but

I would like to offer the

following

counterpoints number one when tuer

Carlson who really got this whole

conversation going when tuer Carlson

says doesn't believe in evolution

Because he believes that God made us do

you think that Tucker regards that as a

scientific fact that God made

us I think what maybe Constantine is

missing is that this is what i' call a

lifestyle

belief a lifestyle belief it's not in

the domain of what's true or false it's

a choice based on

faith the the reason there's a word

faith is because it's very distinct from

I looked at the facts and Science guided

me so to me when I see Tucker say that

uh he has a belief that God made it to

me that's a lifestyle choice to have

that

worldview I don't think that's the same

as not thinking evolution is real to me

those are different concepts so I think

you have to understand that some people

make a choice to accept an entire let's

say philosophy because following the

philosophy has worldly benefits meaning

it helps you today and maybe helps you

go to heaven if you think that's part of

the

plan so when I look at Christians let's

say the the Tucker types who believe

that God created the earth I say to

myself well I don't know if you've got

the mechanism right but I'm not so I'm

not so I don't lack so much humility

that I think I know the answer so I

think there's a little lack of humility

when you say I know the answer of how we

all got here and you got it wrong so

that bothers me a little

bit but I think you have to understand

that religious faith is not trying to

compete with science it's more like if I

buy this entire package I can see that

it works While I'm Alive it might even

work after I'm dead if I go to heaven so

it's really just a a choice about what

works and I don't think you should fact

check

it I'm not going to fact check the

Muslims right I mean I used to think

that was something I could do it's like

huh I'm not so sure that Muhammad went

to heaven on a flying

horse don't bother it's not a scientific

discussion it is a lifestyle choice to

accept a worldview which has a certain

set of advantages right here on

Earth so um I feel that that has to be

said then there's a question uh is

America the bad guy in every war well I

think the word every is you know a

little bit hyperbole but I do believe

the that America is the bad guy in

recent Wars is

that is there anything wrong with that

opinion it does seem to me that our

recent Wars are driven by

energy and the military industrial

complex and stuff like that you know the

Atlantic Council whatever I don't think

we have any kind of a democracy where

we're going to save the save the world

for Freedom we don't care about anybody

else's

Freedom we could give a oh I almost did

it I'm not going to curse we don't care

about the freedom in other countries we

will work with their dictator just fine

yeah do you think we have a problem with

the uh the kingship of uh the royal

family in Jordan no no the royal family

in Jordan are awesome

and we seem to like him and get along

just fine no we don't need them to be a

democracy as long as are on our team

well that's fine so no I do think that

America is the bad guy but I'll give a

little bit of nuance on that as

well I'm not sure being the bad guy is

the worst thing it could

be it could be that being a good guy is

the worst thing you can do CU being a

good guy makes you weak and probably get

destroyed by somebody who's more of a

bad guy I I feel like in the real world

when you get outside of the you know the

philos

philosophical that the the baddest

player tends to be in charge and you're

probably better off being on the same

team roughly speaking as the baddest

player in the game so I think America is

usually the baddest of the bad but being

on the team of the bad guys when they're

winning it might be your best bet for

survival so I think you can be on the

bad team and also say it's good for

you so I think I think that's fair to

say but no America is not always the

good guy and everything we say about why

we do what we do is all

Bs would you agree the reasons we give

like oh we're going to save your

democracy oh we got to make sure those

dominoes don't fall all the Communists

are going to come and get you none of

that's real that's completely made up

it's always about money and energy and

Military and you know and all that but

as I say again keeping our economy

Strong by raping other countries seems

to be a good business model and it does

keep us safer so it's a complicated

world and how about this one uh uh the

and the sphere uh wants to stop

women from

voting how serious do you think that is

now I see that a lot it's like a a

common thing but has a lot to do with

the Democrats you know being largely a

party of women and a lot of the Bas

crazy things are seem to be driven by

women but I don't think anybody's

serious about

that I mean not when I say not anybody

there are a few people who act like

they're serious about it I don't think

so yeah I I don't think they're super

serious about it so I think Constantine

may you know as he says he's not

rightwing

so he may see these things as a little

more serious than they are little more

serious but more to the

point if when you say truth is King in

all capitals there's sort of a

suggestion there that you know what the

truth is and the other people got it

wrong how's that sit with

you let let me let's talk about

evolutionary biology that uh science got

right now if got it

right wouldn't that be really unique in

science to be right we know that 50% of

the studies can't be

reproduced um I'm pretty sure that

climate change is completely BS if you

look at the

models I'm pretty sure that the field of

psychology is probably more BS than

that I'm pretty sure the string theory

is not going to pan

out I don't think physicists can really

explain any of the things that they're

talking about but the math works you

know and sometimes the experiment will

will prove they were right but I don't

think they know what's going on I don't

I don't think they can explain the

double slit experiment without using

words that just sound

crazy so you know uh chemistry is

probably pretty solid because you can

you know run the experiment and see if

it works and Engineering is solid so

we're real good at well not we but

people some people were're not

are good at making rockets that can

maybe go tomorrow someday but that's

engineering right

science is as close to completely broken

as anything has ever been so it feels

almost an outof dat opinion to say that

truth is King and believe the science we

just came out of a pandemic believing

the science sounds like the dumb view at

this point and so I'd like to suggest

that the people are saying that they

know which science is correct because

science is good and they've got all

these facts I'd like to suggest that I'm

not sure that's the smartest take in

2024 in 2024 I think everything that

can't be proven in an experiment on a

table like

chemistry is probably

BS it's there's a far greater chance is

not true now I got dragged into this

Evolution thing because I said the

following I said that uh

the survival of the fitness or I'm sorry

survival what do they call it natural

selection I said in a post that natural

selection was no longer believed by most

uh

scientists now of course the people who

believe that they knew scientists jumped

all over me and said what are you

talking about natural selection is

believed by almost all

scientists to which I said I probably

should have said uh survival the fittest

because if you're not aware of this one

of the most famous evolutionary

biologist types Stephen J

Gould um he was famous for having shown

that survival of the fittest in its most

narrow sense wasn't a good explanation

of what was happening in other words it

wasn't just that you competed better so

you survived but there were a whole

bunch of things that could cause you to

survive that were not directly related

to how fit you were as a

competitor sometimes it was just

luck sometimes you just happened to be

where there weren't any competitors so

you weren't like especially fit to

compete you just didn't need to compete

now other people say Scott Scott Scott

you using compete to

narrowly if if there's a limit to

resources you're at the very least

competing for the limited resources and

if the resources are not limited at the

moment if your population keeps growing

eventually you hit a limit and then you

will be competing for

resources but there are these other

these other elements like luck that

could be part of it as

well now here's what I

say and see if this blows your brain

up what does natural selection mean if

it means all of those things that are

part of the natural

process so what's it

mean it doesn't mean anything

so the me the mechanism to describe

evolution is that hey it looks like

things

changed these things are part of nature

so it's natural

selection so nature selected what the

outcome was how could that not be the

case what would be the alternative to

Nature causing it to be the way it

is and to me that's such a broad

explanation that it doesn't mean

anything uh all it is is an observation

that here we

are do do you get

that natural natural selection doesn't

mean anything because it means

everything if it applies to everything

in nature had to happen just the way it

did to get us to just where we

are it's not really talking about

anything

and and so here I note that the change

was from you know this narrow definition

of fitness to some wider definition of

you know VAR number of variables

involved in my opinion that's a complete

change in going from a specific

mechanism to just saying I don't know

just look

nature now I know what you're going to

say when what the scientists will say

Scott Scott

Scott I feel so bad for you when you

talk about science because you don't

know what's going on and you just don't

understand all the sciencey things

but I do have a long track record of

calling BS on fields in which I don't

know anything about them and my track

record is really good like really really

good at calling

BS this to me looks kind of like BS now

I'm not doubting that things change over

time unless we're as simulation but I do

think that if you talk about uh people

being dumb for in uh Evolution you kind

of have to mention that the simulation

is about a billion times more likely

than Evolution and if the simulation is

true then evolution is just another

illusion within the simulation so it's

not true it's just an illusion and

probably that the history gets created

on demand as opposed to the other way

around anyway so Constantine who's uh

one of the uh more

valuable I think public figures and

thinkers um everybody has a blind spot

and I think if you're not in an in group

you almost always have a blind spot for

you know the Nuance of the

reasoning so there I'm discovered I'm a

defending the sphere

um all right so the Gateway pundit

giving us more details on this judge

Cannon and the unredacted documents from

Jack Smith in his investigation into the

moral Lago um

boxes so apparently according to the

Gateway pundit some of the things that

were redacted but now we can

see uh is that uh revealed that Biden's

White House had Direct ties to the maral

Lago raid the Biden regime was also

directly tied to Jack Smith's

investigation despite claims to the

contrary from meric Garland the uh uh

Mir Garland

and and uh the redactions also covered

up that uh the National Archives had had

several conversations with the Biden

white

house so the whole question was Trump

keeps saying that Biden is you know the

Biden Administration is orchestrating

all the lawfare and everybody oh no what

are you talking about I've seen no

evidence of that whatsoever yes you've

seen no evidence of it because it was

redacted and now we've seen it

apparently there's lots of evidence that

the uh that the Biden White House is

directly connected to all these lawfare

situations so it's exactly what it looks

like it's a lawfare it's completely

illegal immoral

illegitimate and probably there's

nothing will happen about it because the

people in charge are the bad guys and if

the bad guys are also the ones in charge

nothing's going to happen nothing's

going to happen about that probably one

of the biggest uh Crimes of the century

is the lawfare against Trump uh and the

January 6 committee probably the biggest

uh Rico conspiracy that I've ever seen

will be not I don't think it'll be

punished at all not at

all all

right

um all right here's a persuasion

expert Jonah berer and he was on some

Show recently uh teaching people this

following persuasion

trick and he he used the example of a

five-year-olds you were trying to give

five-year-olds to help clean up clean up

the house or clean up their space or

something and the technique um using a

Stanford University study well this it

was a Stanford University study about

5-year-olds if you say to them uh can

you help help

clean you'll get a lower um cooperation

than if you word it this way instead of

can you help clean you say can you be a

helper and clean up if you say can you

be a helper you're giving somebody the

option of accepting an identity when

people accept an identity then they act

on the identity it's automatic if you if

you ask them to do something they

compare it to their identity and if it's

not in their identity they don't do

it so this is a technique which I've

also talked about but I call it the uh

the Jesus

persuasion Jesus persuasion is telling

you that you could be a better

person so it's encouraging you to adopt

an

identity as a more moral and virtuous

person than you were before you heard

the you know before you heard your lord

talk to you so it's very appealing to

say to somebody hey how would you like

to upgrade your identity from you know

peasant who has nothing going for you to

believer who has a higher moral standard

and is going to happen and you think I

wouldn't mind being one of those and

then once you become one all of the all

the activities that go with it just come

automatically all right now do you

understand why I uh register as a

different party from what I usually

Advocate does that make sense now does

do you understand why I'm not a joiner I

don't join groups because as soon as you

join a group and identify in a real way

you know I I register as a Democrat but

I don't mean it so it's not my

identity so I try to avoid having an

identity because the moment you have an

identity it causes all actions to

conform and that's what team play does

so if you say to somebody you're a

Democrat they're going to start acting

like one even if they were not inclined

to before identity creates

activity so you gota you got to change

somebody's identity if you want them to

change their behavior almost nothing

else works because people don't act

against their identity like if you think

you're an honest person you don't rob a

bank right it it it's pretty much a

direct a direct effect if you think

you're an academic you're probably more

likely to go to school right what

whatever you think you are you're likely

to do that thing so this is a really

really good

persuasion uh

technique now let's apply

it let's say you're a Republican and you

want Republicans to vote do you say make

sure you

vote no no no cuz make sure you

vote is telling you what to do it's not

no identity now compare that to

this be one of the people who saves

America help us save America

vote oh now you get a little identity do

you want to be a savior do you want to

do you want to be like the Boston Tea

Party do you want to be a patriot you

know P Patriots a word that not

everybody's comfortable with but it's an

identity now the identity that I uh have

most accepted in the past is

Patriot because I think wow you know I I

just want to be on the side of the

people who are on the side of the

country but lately when given that half

of the country canceled me I I was asked

recently um somebody was giving me a

hard time um on some point and they said

but oh because I said something about

Israel and they said but you wouldn't

say you're uh that you don't support

America just because America does some

bad things with you to which I said huh

America canel

me half of it so no I don't support

America America canceled me the current

system which I call America ganged up on

me identified me discriminated against

me and has been discriminating against

me in employment for over 30 years I've

lost four different careers for being a

white guy so why would I support that I

do not support America that's my current

brand new opinion and I think I was you

know largely hypnotized that I ever did

here's what I

support you I support you citizens who

did not cancel me

period because you're actually good

people and I like good people and I like

most of the things that you like and I

identify with you I'm definitely one of

you and I'm completely on your team but

America was lost decades ago so to say

that I support America would say that

I'm in some kind of a

brainwashed you know gooner situation in

which I'm like Oh waave my flag nope

unfortunately I've been far too

blackpilled to say I support the

brainwashing collection of things which

our masters have given to us I support

the citizens and there are a number of

things I support like freedom of speech

for example and second amendment for

example so I definitely support those

things and there's a whole bunch of

stuff in the Constitution that I think

is terrific so I'm I'm Pro

Constitution but do I support the

government no the government is my enemy

and I mean that literally the government

is my enemy I mean the government has

decided I'm their enemy and has

weaponized its own resources against me

personally personally yeah I've

experienced it in a personal way so no

I'm not going to be on the side of my

enemy because my enemy is literally

trying to destroy me my government is

trying to put me out of business and

they tried really hard they just

couldn't try harder than they did

without you know an overreach

so they did it the clever way they can

through their you know

minions so now don't ask me to salute

the flag or even stand for it I I don't

I don't believe I would even stand for

this the Pledge of Allegiance at this

point because I think it's absurd I I

think the country is so far from any

image of America that was the kind that

you hold in your mind as the good one

the one you wanted to support we're so

far from that I mean the Biden

Administration is just a criminal

Enterprise the CIA has been running the

show since probably the 50s or 60s we're

nothing like a Democratic Republic

nothing like that and we are being

robbed every day so that richer people

can sell weapons to people basically so

no I don't support any of

that all right fake protest season is

coming as you all know we all expect the

big summer of fake

protests and what we don't know yet is

if the prop palis inan protesters who

some would call

pramas um we don't know if that's going

to be the summer protest or if there

might be some new one but I suspect it

will but there is a

wrinkle don't you expect that the summer

protests are always going to be sort of

pro-democrat anti-republican

that's the ones you expect right because

you think oh George Soros is funding

people he's sort of closer to the

Democrats so it's going to be sort of a

Democrat friendly protesting summer Riot

group like BML or you know in its own

way

antifa so does that apply to these

groups well I looked a little bit did

some Googling and apparently some of the

organizers of these recent protests are

funded by the Soros

organization so apparently Soros is

funding things now you'd normally think

this would work out well for Democrats

relative to Republicans but it turns out

that the protester surrounded Senate

leader Chuck Schumer's home in

Brooklyn and he's

Jewish imagine being Senator

Schumer a Jewish American and you look

out the window and a whole bunch of

people with Hamas colors and Palestinian

flags and stuff are demonstrating

against you and and uh it's not too far

not too long after October

7th how do you think how do you think

Chuck Schumer feels about that now let

me tell you I'm not politically I don't

often well a few times I have I don't

often agree with Chuck Schumer so

politically I'm not in his side

but I don't want to see anybody in my

country surrounded suspiciously because

they're

Jewish I don't think it's just because

he's the speaker of the house that feel

it feels like they're getting a twofer

there and I'm not really comfortable

with that so I wonder will the Democrats

and Soros and the people who generally

are favorable to that point of view are

they going to say we went too far and we

unleashed a force that's going to eat Us

Alive because this force is going to eat

alive the

Democrats somehow for some reason

Republicans are getting pass I guess

because ranana

power at least in the

presidency so Trump is getting a hell of

a free pass I don't know how long that's

going to last I think it has everything

to do with him being out of

power so let's uh let's keep an eye on

this uh they're asking Schumer to stop

arming

Israel and uh earlier in the day Schumer

asked thanked speaker Mike Johnson for

passing the Ukraine Israel funding Bill

all right so here's my question Mike

Johnson is not Jewish as far as I

know um Schumer is they were both

involved in passing the legislation but

the Jewish guy is

surrounded is that a

coincidence it does feel like they're

going for the

twofer doesn't it so it's a it's hard to

be comfortable with that as just free

speech I mean I guess it is Free Speech

but it's hard to feel that it's you know

purely a policy thing and not something

much much

worse

anyway so we'll keep an eye on that I

don't know if that'll become the summer

riots um but I suspect it will I just

think it might backfire it might be the

summer riots that they wish they hadn't

instigated and I remind you that there's

no such thing as spontaneous organic

protests that's really not a thing the

only way these protests happen is if

organizations that are already

founded and they've got some members and

they get funding from somebody like

Soros or some other source and then

they've got money to do something and

they've got

members and then they got something to

do but it's not like there's people just

were sitting around watching the news

and then they thought oh I think I'll go

out and protest in the streets and get

arrested now it's mostly organized

stuff um persitz had a uh opinion piece

in I think it was the Wall Street

Journal and uh he was talking about

Biden's recent Gaff where he sort of

both-sided the Israel Palestinian Hamas

situation and in so doing he he became

sort of an example of the fine people

hoax himself in other words it looked

like he was creating some kind of a

moral equivalency between Israel and the

terrorists who attacked Israel now you

could argue whether that's a correct

take or not but here's what I'd like to

say uh dtz did debunk the fine people

hoax um but he did it in such a poor way

that I have to criticize him I don't

know if I've ever criticized dtz before

in terms of his opinions because I often

call him out as one of the best you know

uh intellectuals in public and willing

to say the difficult things even if it

doesn't agree with his team so generally

I see him as you know at the highest

level of intellectual

credibility and so so I very much

appreciate that he here's what he said

I'll give you his quote so you're not

you're not listening to me say he said

quote you had some very U oh he's

talking about Trump's quote on

Charlottesville so he's quoting Trump

you had some very bad people in that

group but you also had some people that

were very fine people on both sides Mr

Trump said now this is according to dtz

he later explained meaning Trump that he

meant both sides of the debate over

whether to remove a Confederate monument

and that the anti-semitic chanters were

very bad people he had in mind he should

have been clearer from the start that's

where he lost me he should have been

clearer from the start no alen dtz

you're letting your team get a your team

of the Democrats you're letting them get

away with this too

easily this was not a case of a hoax was

created by Trump not being clear at the

very same time that he said the fine

people thing he said a few things and

then within I think 60 seconds he said

and I'm not talking about the

neo-nazis they should be condemned

totally now that is the clearest

statement anybody ever made about

anything and for El dtz to say he should

have been clearer from the start is G a

total pass to the bad guys on his team

on his team the bad guys who turned it

into propaganda he should have said this

was never a thing he was very clear that

he wasn't talking about him and the bad

guys his team turned it into a hoax that

changed the nature of America and has

almost destroyed it now that's a fair

assessment

anyway um and then he went on to say

Biden had this week his own moment of

unclarity well I think it is fair to say

that Biden was

unclear which also is not a full

condemnation of what he said because I I

think that there's a little bit of

piling on because of the piling on at

Charlesville but uh I think Biden was

unclear but Trump was not unclear and I

don't think you should draw an

equivalent between them alen dtz who I

have much respect for intellectually I

think you just got this completely

wrong uh there's uh saw a post and some

data from was it n Wess I think the

account and Wess um that the number of

here's a demographic breakdown of men

and women uh Democrat versus

Republican so uh the Democrats in

married men they have 39 % are married

are married men so less than half are

married men married women 42% so less

than half or fewer than half which is

correct fewer than half or less than

half is there any pedantic

people is it less than half or fewer

than

half or both it might be one of those

cases where both works because sometimes

only one is the proper way but we don't

often call that out anyway so whichever

it is then unmarried men 45% again less

than half so the only demographic that

Democrats have the majority in of the

married and unmarried men and women

stuff is

68% of the single women are Democrats

68% of single women are Democrats now

without being unkind and referring to

Scientific data single women and liberal

single women in particular are known to

be especially batshit crazy meaning

literally they seek the therapy the most

they're literally the most

miserable

uh um

depressed mentally ill group and I don't

know how much longer we can go without

calling it out for what it is because

we're pretending we have a political

difference it's not a political

difference when one of you has a mental

illness and I think I've called it down

enough that you can see it when you see

the the women the Democrat women on TV

not all of them there are plenty of them

that don't fall into this category but

don't you notice that they look mentally

ill can't you tell just by looking at

them and again I'm not saying all

Democrats or anything like that but

there's a ton of women who are Democrats

who when they talk you look at their

eyes and their expression and all you

see is mental illness and to continue

ignoring the

obvious that we have a mental illness

problem that is pretending to be a

political

philosophy um I think is not helping us

at all so we should call it out for what

it is you know uh Constantine calls it

uh um what do you call it the uh

sphere but I think that's

giving it too much credit if you call it

the sphere you're you're sort

of acting like you were born that way

but I think that TDS has literally made

people

crazy which means it's not necessarily

their own fault so I have some sympathy

for the mentally ill Democrats because I

do think that they were propagandized so

hard by their own team that Trump is

Hiller that the idea that there's you

know something like an equal number of

Americans who want Hitler according to

their view of the world that's got to be

the most distressing depressing saddest

alarming thing I could ever imagine put

yourself in their

position you're you're a single woman

and you've been told and you believed it

that an actual Hitler was coming into

office to take away your democracy and I

don't know turn you into baby makers or

something yeah that would be of course

that would make you mentally ill why

wouldn't it so I'm not sure there's

anybody to blame except the the

propaganda people on the Democrat side

have destroyed the mental health of

their own team the Republicans were able

to withstand the propaganda do you know

why can you tell me why the

propaganda that the Democrats completely

mentally Disturbed their own people why

did it have little to no effect on

Republicans tell me you know the answer

why did it have little or no effect on

Republicans no not because Republicans

have more men although they do it's not

that critical thinking

no they get both sides

no news better news no they knew was

fake no guns no BS detector no media

okay

I must be the worst teacher in the

history of teachers I literally just

gave you an entire lesson on why this is

happening Republicans have an

identity so their identity is completely

uh protective against Democrat

propaganda Democrat propaganda doesn't

work with somebody who identifies as not

a Democrat if you if you identify as

Republican their propaganda just bounces

off you you don't need better news and

better sources you don't need to see

both sides you don't need better

critical thinking but I think it's

humorous that you gave yourself all

those paths on the back all right I if

you could take a moment just take a

moment to think about the the comments

you were watching the comments at the

same time you were all patting yourself

on the back for your advantages well

it's probably because we have better

critical

thinking yeah

it's that's probably because we see the

news on both sides maybe it's because

we're not mentally ill maybe it's

because men are smarter than women and

women are emotional and they're more men

and Republicans did you see how you just

you just immediately ran to compliment

yourselves and do you know what you

complimented yourselves

on fill in the blanks what did you

compliment yourself

on your

identity yeah

you basically gave me answers that went

to your identity so your identity is you

see both sides you're logical you're not

you're not driven by emotional Spirits

you know you see things as they real

that's your identity that's not

thinking that's not reasoning that's not

facts and data that was your

identity this might be the best lesson

I've ever given because I didn't realize

that you would all fall into this trap I

didn't plan it this way but but is

anybody having a moment you're seeing

this right you're seeing it in real time

that the persuasion the persuasion rule

that identity is everything and do

something differently never works for

anybody you you just watched you you

solidify around your identity with no

regard to the facts with no regard to

the facts but you just complemented

yourself at how awesome you are in your

identity now uh if that sounded like a

criticism it shouldn't be you should

take it as a like a mind openening

moment because as I've told you before

um even though identify you know often

as far left of some of your opinions I

prefer you as

humans so my audience are the people I

would want to be around if I were ever

in

trouble I would want you guys to show up

first

you know what I mean you know if my car

is on

fire and I'm trapped in it I want all of

you to be the first ones on the scene

you get that right because you're the

ones who would pull me out at Great

personal risk that's who I want on my

team I don't need to agree with you on

your religious beliefs nope I just need

to know that if I'm in a burning car

you're the car that's going to stop

and for that same reason I will stop for

you so that's important so I'm very

bonded in terms of you know that that

Dynamic but I I try not to give myself

an identity beyond the fact that there's

some

character there's some character things

and some policy things that we're

totally in agreement

on all right um the anti-trump legal

commentators according to the Daily

Caller there's a group of the worst

people in the world according to me who

have a weekly Zoom meeting to talk about

how they can you know present the case

against Trump in the most persuasive way

so here's the here are the people who

are meeting on Zoom weekly to you know

make sure they're all on the same page

about going after Trump so you've got uh

let's see Norman Eisen he's a CNN legal

analyst you've got Bill Crystal MSNBC

legal analyst Andrew Weissman lawyer

Jeffrey

tubin Jeffrey tubin on the zoom

call it's a zoom call Jeffrey tubin on

it you're probably

wondering are you just going to let that

go Scott that there's a zoom

call with a bunch of lawyers who are

anti-trump and one of them's Jeffrey

tubin

am I just going to let that

go also has Lawrence tribe former Nixon

White House counsel uh um although he's

you know super Democrat at the moment um

John Dean he's a Lincoln project

co-founder George

Conway we all know George Conway and

Harry

Litman and then for some reason

Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer

Rubin is in these

meetings

so it seems to me that another way to

report this story would be that there's

a group of people who meet weekly on

Zoom to masturbate over Trump's legal

issues I think it's being led by tubin

and uh if they're not jerk buddies I

don't know who is so I'm going to refer

to them anytime I see any of these

lawyers as the jerk buddies they're just

getting on zoom and gooning over oh I

think he's going down now oh

oh tell me more about what Jack Smith

said oh redact me baby redact

it that's how I see it redact me

hard um is that

true somebody just said they're all

Jewish is that

true George

Conway John Dean

no I don't think I don't think they're

all

Jewish but the fact that there were a

lot of lawyers who are also Jewish is

not not the biggest surprise in the

world no I don't think they're all

Jewish

um so the Tik

Tock so they're calling it a ban but

it's not uh so the Tik Tock Bill

apparently get is going to make it to

the president's desk and he's going to

sign it now I think this is a total fake

I don't think Tik tok's going to

disappear one of two things is going to

happen they've got a year to fight it in

court and they'll either win in court

and it will stay just the way it is

or um it will be divested to an American

company purely for the purpose of our

own CIA having a back door to it so that

instead of China having all our private

information and being able to control us

and brainwash us our own country will be

able to have all of our personal

information and usage and who we're

connected to and also uh

brainwashes I'm not entirely sure that's

an

upgrade now I I of course have been one

of the most uh um vocal proponents of

banning Tik Tok but only if you're

really going to ban it if all you're

doing is putting the CIA in charge of it

it's just you're just changing the

warden

you didn't let anybody out of

jail I want I want people to get out of

jail I'm not looking

for a different

reward that that's buying me nothing so

I think that the the public has been

duped into thinking something has

happened and and your Congress is

finally acting and you know there's

things and processes and I don't think

anything is happening it's either going

to go right back to the way it was

because of some you know court case or

it's going to be worse because our CIA

will be in charge of

it I don't

know doesn't look good to me

um and the thing that the thing that

makes me most suspicious is that it went

from having no support to suddenly

everybody loved

it and it got you know put into a bill

that you couldn't resist or at least

Congress couldn't resist

that to me that just looks like our

intelligence people decided it was time

to make a play and they just made a play

to own the

thing and remember where Constantine

said hey I don't think you can say

America is the bad guy in every

war I think the I think America just

stole one of China's biggest

companies or at least the American

Business part of it I don't know you

know I don't think China should have

been in control obviously but I don't

think we're the good

guys all right um according to the

Gateway pundit the headlines are sort of

missing this story that stormmy Daniels

owes Trump 300,000 plus interest for her

false claims she made against him so

storby Daniels is actually paying Trump

for false claims made against them the

courts have ruled at the same time

Trump's in court for

uh what an accounting thing that nobody

can even understand why it's

illegal literally the experts are I

don't even know why this is illegal I I

don't even understand

it so of course

that's

anyway

um Elon Musk was commenting on a graph

that I think uh was going around that

showed that U around 205

is I wonder what was happening about

then the words racism and racist and

race were used in

newspapers uh up 361 to

700% starting around 2014 is

actually

so as Elon mus says this graph

illustrates the woke mind virus taking

over Legacy

Media uh same happened with online media

and the education system than is spread

to other

countries and here's what I say I don't

think there's any

force that will make wokeness go away

and I I think our uh our impression that

it's being beaten back is because if you

read a lot of right leaning Republican

kind of news sources they're always you

know trumpeting the anecdotal story of

this University or this Texas place got

rid of uh Dei and stuff like that

but I think it's growing faster than

it's being reduced that's my sense of it

we just see the stories where it's being

reduced we don't see all the times that

somebody added their di you know added

the DI

staff so I don't think it's correcting

itself at

all um but there is a force that could

correct it and it might be forming up it

hasn't kicked off yet so there was a

court case recently I think it was the

Supreme Court that said that

uh white people could sue for

discrimination in employment now we

haven't seen a big wave of that but

given that uh Steven Miller has that

America First fund which seems to be

designed exactly for this sort of thing

which is to push individual cases that

have a you know larger political

Dimension to them and what I'd love to

see is the funding for that backing a

bunch of uh anti-white discrimination

cases

because if it becomes impossible to be

in business and discriminate against

white people because it's just too

expensive the trial lawyers and the

insurance companies just eat you up that

could change things I don't think

anything changes until it's

expensive so here where I might disagree

with Elon Musk that uh that people will

just sort of see the I'm not sure what

mechanism he thinks would reverse it so

I won't I won't read his mind but the

only mechanism that reverses anything is

money nothing else really makes a

difference it's just money and even when

it looks like is not money it's money

right because if somebody's let's say

defending the

reputation right that's kind of money

really so as soon as it gets too

expensive to discriminate against white

people which has never been the case

it's always been easy and it would be

easier to discriminate against white

people than it would be to explain why

you don't have enough

diversity so as soon as it becomes more

expensive to screw white people there'll

be less of it but we're not there

yet all right um I I said again

provocatively and I'm going to tell you

this story only because the persuasion

element of it because you you've heard

it before uh as you know the

ADL came after me and the head of the

ADL accused me of being a Holocaust

denier in public now I don't have to

defend myself from that because you

should be wise enough to know that's not

a

thing I'm obviously not a holocaust Den

now they said that in public about me

now the ADL is going after a number of

other people in similarly specious ways

and what I've said is that I don't

support Israel uh because the ADL is my

enemy and then I also say because I know

how people respond that I say yes I know

they don't report to Israel yes I know

the ADL does not report to

Israel but that's not my

problem now how many of you think that

what I say doesn't make sense in the

comments does it not make sense when I

say I don't support Israel because the

ADL who is not who is not funded by

Israel that came after me soes that

makes

sense now remember I said that um Israel

doesn't own the ADL they don't control

them but that's not my

problem yeah no my problem is that uh a

substantial entity that has offices in

Israel and they say that their uh

mission is this is from the adl's own

words the ADL Works to support a secure

Jewish and Democratic state of Israel

living in peace and

security and for decades they've worked

to secure Israel and Democratic State

promote a strong and constructive us

Israel relationship so to me that's the

ADL working for

Israel now if you say but Israel doesn't

control them then I say let me introduce

you to the real world may I if Israel

kicked their ass out of Israel and said

you're embarrassing us so badly that you

can't have an office Israel you're just

making us look like

idiots do you think the ADL could

survive that if Israel said hey just for

the record we want to say this once the

ADL does not represent us they see

they're a disreputable organization and

we disavow them do you think the ADL

could survive that well the management

couldn't the ADL probably could but the

management couldn't they'd have to

change management so when I say I don't

support the nation of Israel because the

ADL went after me does that sound

crazy it's not my

problem that they don't directly pay the

ADL it's true but that's not my problem

here's the thing if somebody on your

team who is so on your team that they've

got an office in your country and their

entire mission one of the the Topline

mission statements is to make sure that

that other country is doing

fine they're working for the same team

and if somebody on your team is trying

to destroy me which they are the ADL

tried very hard then no I do not back

Israel and don't ask me to all right so

I don't care if Israel fixes it but just

don't ask me to help now you might say

to yourself um Scott how much were you

backing Israel before which is a good

question do you think that there's

anything I do or have done that has any

impact on Israel in any meaningful way

in the

comments give me your give me your

opinion do you think that it means

anything or is it just you know talking

on Twitter or

X well here's what I

think it would depend if you thought I

had some uh influence on the region or

if you thought I was authoring the

simulation it might matter um but at the

moment I think that the ADL is

destroying the reputation of Israel and

uh that's not my fault all right as long

as the ADL and Israel are joined at the

hip um I don't support the nation of

Israel now I'm not I'm not supporting

their destruction and I'm not supporting

the the enemies of

Israel and I'm not you know I wasn't

donating before but I definitely don't

think the United States should give them

any

money now one of the arguments I heard

is that uh David boxing hor makes this

argument that if uh we didn't fund

Israel with the requirement that they

buy our weapons then Israel would create

its own weapons manufacturing because of

course they would need weapons and then

we wouldn't have as much influence over

them because they would be independently

making their own weapons instead of

relying on

us to which I say there's a pretty big

advantage on relying on us for weapons

the biggest one is it it's not easy to

bomb our one

Factory if Israel had some weapons

making

factories there would probably be two or

three that if you took them man of

operation they would be completely out

of weapons but the United States

probably is harder to get to meaning

that if the weapons are here and we ship

them to Israel it's probably a safer

weapons you know situation so it's a

complicated situation but I don't I

don't favor uh any American money going

to Israel as long as they have a better

debt situation than we do as long as the

ADL is after me so I think Israel has to

live with the bad reputation of the ADL

at a time when they're getting a lot of

um a lot of pressure from the outside

world I do think Israel is giving up

their Holocaust chip um it will never be

the same after this and that doesn't

mean it's the wrong choice from their

perspective so let me give you the

the uh my real opinion of the whole

Hamas Gaza Israel

situation I think anybody who's picking

the moral Winning

Side is probably in some kind of a

losing

conversation because we first of all we

don't have any influence at least I

don't I I have no influence over that so

my take is it's like gravity my my take

on the region is that whoever's in

charge is going to be the warden and

whoever is not in charge is going to be

in jail if you were to reverse the

situation the Israelis would feel like

they're in jail even if it's not true

and it would look like the wardens were

the Palestinians currently it looks like

Israel has the most power and whether

it's an accurate statement of what's

happening or not the the Palestinians

feel like they're in jail and the

Israelis are the warden if that's not

going to change and it's not then what

you're then what you're watching is is

just a a power Dynamic playing

out so to have an opinion on it feels to

me like I'm holding a rock in my hand

and I let go of the

rock should I have an opinion about

whether the rock will fall to Earth I

could have an opinion but it would be

absurd the only thing that makes sense

is just to watch it just observe it

because you know it's going to go and

now it's gravity and has nothing to do

with your opinion so when I watch things

in the Middle East I think oh I think I

should add my opinion to this for what

it's just gravity whoever is the

strongest entity is going

to it's going to feel like the weaker

entity is being abused even if it's not

true and the reason is that the systems

are incompatible and they can never be

compatible there is no way that those

those groups the Islamic population and

the Jewish population are going to find

a way to live together in peace with two

two countries next to each other to

imagine that could happen seems so

disconnected from

reality that these are people who by

their their Central belief system can't

possibly get along in the way that you

imagine people of the same belief system

could I I think we make the mistake of

thinking Well it can't be that different

from a red and the blue State and yet we

find ways to live together next to each

other no it's not like that at all it's

not even slightly like that the American

system we can disagree with each other

but we know we're under the same

system right the

constitution in theory is the umbrella

under which we're all arguing so we're

all trying to be the better versions of

adhering to the Constitution you maybe

sometimes you want to tweak it but

you're still talking talking about how

can we be the better version of a

constitutional you know

citizenship nothing like that's

happening over in the Middle East in the

Middle East there are two incompatible

systems that can never be

compatible and there's only going to be

a winner and a loser and at the moment

Israel has the upper

hand to have an opinion on that would be

like having an opinion on gravity it's

just what it is it's it's just what it

is now the opinion I can have is not to

associate my own brand or reputation

with it because again I don't have

anything to do with it so if I if I

embraced it then I'm giving something

away for free for

nothing I I would be giving away my

reputational value what little it has

for nothing it wouldn't make them more

successful or less but it would make me

a victim of whatever you know abuse I

got for having an opinion on it so I

don't support Israel but I don't support

their

enemies I love the Jewish people you

know my personal relationships have

always been amazing with Jewish

citizens as well as Israeli citizens um

probably one of my favor favorite

demographic groups I say that just

because some of you are anti-semitic and

it'll make you mad but yeah but

historically

um everything from dating to my best

friends I I've been very heavily

weighted toward the Jewish population

because I like smart

people is that

okay I like smart people and uh they're

real lot of educated Jewish people and

it's fun to talk to smart

people all right

um that ladies and gentlemen is what I

had for you to today I don't know if uh

the rumble studio is going to let me

talk privately to the locals people but

I'm going to give it a try um I've

bug fix that that that feature had work

every day until a few days

ago all right uh no you don't have the

drinking bleach article that's the first

draft but thank you thank you for asking

about it all right that's all for now um
