Episode 2495 CWSA 06/04/24

B B good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and aren't you glad you're here to those of you who uh come here every single morning don't you love our little routine I think the fact that we do this every morning makes it like extra special you never take a day off you will be here be here well if you want to take it up to the next level all you need for that is a cuper muger glass of tanker chalis tin a Canen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine H in the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and happens now go so good I'm feeling sanguine all right I don't even know what that means but it's a cool word so I is Hunter Biden's going to Cordon Delaware on gun charges let's see Trump gets tried in the unfriendliest place in the world and hunter gets tried in the friendliest place in the world for Hunter Delaware Home State uh Biden friendly judge we hear now this is an interesting case because my understanding is the facts of it are completely clear you know there there's no question of what happened which is very interesting how how do you defend when the law has been broken and there is no question about the details of what happened yeah there's no question that he said he was uh he said he was not addicted but he was when he got the gun there's not much you can do with that I mean there he's on video being addicted Etc but somebody said that his defense would be uh it's not his fault because he was high so the defense would be yes I was a drug addict and I said I wasn't when I applied for the gun but you have to understand that I was a drug addict and therefore I can't be totally responsible for saying I'm a drug addict and I have to say it's not the worst ARG arent it's not the worst argument because the whole point of being let me just pull this together for you the reason you don't want a drug addict to have a gun is what why do you not want a drug addict to have a gun only one reason you don't trust that the drug addict can make smart decisions am I right that's that's the one only reason Am I Wrong the only reason is that we don't trust a drug addict to make good decisions with the gun but yet we do trust the drug addict to make a good decision filling out paperwork seriously it's I it's a weirdly good argument but it can't be accepted the reason you can't accept it is is because it refuses Free Will so so the problem here is that free will is what's on trial not a hunter they're actually triing free will because if he has free will well then he's guilty and it doesn't matter if he took drugs because you know those are all his choices if he doesn't have free will then not only could you make an argument that on some moral grounds he's not guilty although the law would say otherwise uh but it was also you refute all of the legal system like the entire legal system would have to be thrown out if if you know if you could say well it's not what I was thinking at the time or you could say I didn't have free will so it's an interesting story I don't think his I don't think his argument is wrong on a philosophical sense I don't think it'll work as a legal argument but what else does he have and then somebody said said that the charge could be up to 25 years in jail how many of you think that lying about your drug use to get a gun should put you in jail for 25 years do any of you think that sounds about right I mean it wasn't used in the commission of a crime didn't have priors how in the world is that fair I I mean I hate to wake up and have to defend Hunter Biden but there's no way I think you should be in jail for 25 years for lying on a form I we need to find some kind of perspective it's Mak me making me wonder if this is political too is this trial only being pushed for political reasons why would you even do it well here's another question I'd like to ask you if being a drug addict and then getting a gun which requires you to sign something apparently in whatever state he was that says you're not a drug addict don't you think that maybe 25% of all gun owners may have lied on the application in the same way in in my experience at least 25% of the adult public is addicted to drugs either alcohol or something else pills or something when you say 25% so can you put somebody in jail for 25 years for doing exactly the same thing exactly the same thing that maybe 25% of all gun owners did and who gets to say if you're a drug addict versus your between usage for example if you were a drug addict but you came you became clean do you say you're still not a drug addict no if you're a drug addict and you haven't had a drug for 20 years you're still a drug addict am I wrong you're just a drug addict who's got it under control so if you're a drug addict who hasn't had a drug for a little while do you get to say that you're not one when you fill out your Federal Form because that would be a lie so does everybody who ever used to be drinking too much or used to be on drugs do they never get to have a a gun because they would be lying if they say they're not drug addicts they would be that would definitely be a lie what what if and this is how I would do the defense here's how I do it I'd say this standard of are you or are you not a drug addict is subjective in other words the day I got the gun it was in my honest opinion a day when I was not a drug addict because that day I wasn't high and I plann to stay that way I plan to stay not high so the day I applied for the gun in my own opinion which is the only one that matters because it's not based on a medical standard it's based on self-reporting and my self-reported truth was that day in my own mind I believed I was clean and was going to stay clean it didn't work out I didn't stay clean but when I got the gun I was not a drug addict in my opinion and if if it's somebody else's opin opinion that you were a drug addict how do you apply that standard so there's kind of an interesting question here that it could easily get to the Supreme Court which is how do you apply the standard that somebody is a drug addict at the moment of the purchase I don't see how that standard could ever work so it's interesting we'll see all right uh Pierce Morgan had some guesss on uh and it was funny because the the panel was for smart people plus a Democrat I know that sounds funny but that's what it was and uh one of the people was uh Michael nolles you know him from daily wire and he said S Pierce Pierce to ask the Democrat uh he said I would challenge her to see if she could articulate what crime Trump committed because she was going all anti-trump and he's a felon and so Pierce smelling blood in the water goes and uh What uh what what crime did Trump commit just in the most non-threatening way yeah and what uh what crime was that so she goes uh well it was a it was a financial crimes or white collar crimes and then Pierce just calmly goes I know but like specifically like what was the crime well things and things and complicated Financial things that weren't supposed to be those things that were different than the things and Pierce just made her he just made her squirm while the other SM smart people were just smiling with that pleased look oh I want to see more of this can we please please just have Democrats on and have somebody asked to describe what the charge was can we please do that that' be great there's some kind of melanoma shot that in early trials looks impressive so if you had a melanoma cancer they say this mRNA shot it's a vaccine they say uh could cut the risk of dying in half so I don't know why they call it a vaccine because you get it after you got the melanoma so I didn't know the word work that way but uh do you trust the new mRNA vaccine if if it becomes available you going to sign up for that here's a problem are you like me you've lost all Faith In Everything Medical I just don't believe anything from a doctor or the science or the just I've lost all all credibility is just gone I don't know what to do about that let's talk about the fake news so the Washington Post had a big shake up they had a new attit and uh here's the funny part so the CEO Will Lewis he was having an all hands meeting a guest telling people what the changes would be and he was asked at the meeting uh whether he had interviewed any diverse candidates or women to be the new executive editor because I replaced a woman who was the executive editor and I guess they must have picked a white man and so the staff said I don't know about that white man have you talked to anybody who wasn't a a white man cuz we don't really think we're comfortable having a white man there unless you worked really really hard to make sure it wasn't a white man and there was just nothing you could do about it he was just the only person who could do this job and we kind of frankly a little bit a little bit skeptical that there's not a single diverse candidate in the whole world who could be in this job as editor of the Washington Post so uh I only Bring It because it's funny to watch Dei eat the Washington Post remember the Washington Post is who started the cancellation of Dilbert that's you know they're the ones who made the big difference anyway and they're getting eaten by their own philosophy so sad um so Alex Soros who's now in charge of the big Soros funding uh he retweeted or rep posted uh an article in the Atlantic and the title was Trump's plan to supercharge inflation now I didn't read the article because if you actually read an article in an publication called the Atlantic oh I'm sorry I'm sorry that happened to you now you don't read the articles now the Atlantic if you didn't know is your biggest signal for fake news maybe the fake of all the fake the Atlantic is going to do the stuff that even MSNBC would be too embarrassed to do right so that in terms of the uh pure propaganda you know they're all the way in the pure propaganda something like you know the AP or you know even CNN that they might be biased but the Atlantic is not in the category of we have a preference no they're just outright propaganda now if you didn't know that you would think oh this is something to consider maybe maybe Trump will supercharge inflation and by the way I'm not saying he won't because I don't think any of our leaders have any control of the of the Deb at this point but uh here's the other thing I always wondered how the Democrats got their marching orders like how do they know what to say so that they're all saying the same thing and I guess we know so what it takes is Alex Soros who is their main source of funding he's like the biggest source of funding for the Democrats he simply posts something on social media and points to an article and then that's the talking point so watch for the talking point to be that Trump's going to make inflation worse now you notice that the the fakest of the fake news will always go after whatever is the democrat's weakest point and then they'll start a fake news that's you know whatever is the counter to the weakest point so Biden's weakest point is inflation so the Atlantic predictably comes up with some article that I never going to read but the title says it all Trump's plan to supercharge inflation so yes if you see an Alex Soros post about an Atlantic article you just saw the signal coming from the funer of what the Democrats need to say to keep the person who gives them money happy there it is now if you didn't know that you didn't know what the Atlantic is and you didn't know who Alex Soros is it would just be a post but once you learn the players you can you can see that this is the messaging from the top telling everybody what to do that that's your real government right there the actual government is Alex Soros posting an Atlantic story because that will change CH more things than almost anything else the government was doing so here's what you need to know about that what you need to know is that the Atlantic is like the Adam shiff of Jamie raskins I'm going to say it again because it was so clever the Atlantic as a publication it's like the Adam shift of Jamie raskins there there's a small band of propagandists who are always the ones you see when there's like a serious problem with the narrative like they're the narrative doctors yeah or the narrative you know maybe Killers assassins all right speaking of narrative assassins the Biden Administration somebody in it as uh the some Department of Justice group is indicting The Epic Times Chief Financial Officer for an alleged gigantic money laundering scheme of 67 million now the Gateway pundits reporting this now the epoch I never know if it's epic or Epoch but um they are a right leading publication and suddenly they're getting closed down do you think it's a coincidence this close to an election that one of the uh reliably anti-biden anti-democrat Publications just suddenly had a big fin iial allegation now my take on this I saw Mike Ben's posting on this and the implication was that it was a a BS lawfare thing but there are details that the the story comes with some details about the allegations and there are a lot of details for something that's totally made up so I'm going to say there's something that happened here because there are way too many details uh but that doesn't mean the individual who got picked up is guilty you know innocent until proven guilty and in these days of lawfare you really do have to take seriously that maybe it's completely made up you know I I don't think Mike Ben is crazy when his first instinct is it's completely made up because we live in a world where it would be completely within the expected range of behavior to close down a a uh an entity entirely just because you didn't like what they were saying we do live in that world that's that's not speculative that's that's exactly our current environment Anything Could Happen well I continue to be uh amused and entertained by CNN trying to find the middle ground and damn it they did it again so I'm I'm going to give them credit again for telling a story exactly the way I want the story told and what I mean by that is they showed both sides and they didn't shade it a bit so here's what I mean so James carille was on the network and he you said you know stop making a big deal about the fact that judge Maran once made a $35 donation to a some kind of stop Trump organization and he criticized CNN's own one of their top legal analysts Eli honig who had you know pointed out a number of improprieties in the lawfare cases against Trump so so now you've got Eli H honig doing what I would consider a really solid analysis exactly the kind of thing that CN CNN needs to be credible because you you're going to see the other side so why not see the the real one uh and then here just pulling it all together Smur cones uh once um once Carville had criticized Eli honig smes has Eli honig on to defend himself and his defense was quite strong he said imagine it was the other way around imagine the judge in this case had donated to a anti-biden prot trump go Maga uh organization but it was only $35 yeah hey hey so don't worry people it was only $35 would that be okay would anybody be complain complaining about that of course they would it would be the biggest complaint in the world so without taking sides on the topic itself uh smires is being smish and he's he's showing you the actual arguments in the real world without the spin he showing both sides uh so I have total respect for that all right um then as you're learning who the characters are another big signal that the Democrat narrative is broken and they've sent out the repair team is a fellow on ABC News and you know him his name is George Sten papalos wait I I think I pronounced that right it's a George sopas PN snas pfas well George let's call him George so uh he had on one of uh Trump's lawyers and uh he was insisting that there is no evidence come on there's no evidence that the prosecution and the New York trial had any coordination with the Biden White House I I don't know what you're talking about and I'm going to make that face of you yeah you have to see the photo that's in at least the one on social media of the George stopless face he's just like I will make this face of you to change to change how your words are received by my public stop saying those words I don't want to hear I'll use my face to stop them well and then I guess uh I think it was Will sharf was the attorney and he he pointed out that the number three person at Biden's Department of Justice stepped down meaning took it to motion willingly inv voluntarily to go work on this case and that would certainly suggest a strong inference of coordination with the white house and then when you add the funny Willis's prosecutors meeting at the White House and some other stuff it looks kind of obvious but no George is the vapas says no way fake news no coordination there is no evidence of that so here's what you need to know if you know the players you can tell what's True by who they send to tell it's false this is really important you can tell what's True by which character specifically they send to say it's false if they send Adam Schiff to say it's not true oh it's true if they send Jamie Raskin to say it's not true it's definitely true if they send George stenopus to say it's not true oh it's definitely true it's definitely true and if the Atlantic says something's true it's definitely not true so there those are your strongest signals for fake news uh Rasin Schiff and George stefas in the Atlantic and then you can see that Alex Soros seems to be you know maybe pushing the narrative from the top we're told I see unusual whales who reporting that there's some expectation that Biden's going to sign an immigration order to temporarily close the border from Asylum Seekers does that even sound real I'm having trouble believing anything these days do you believe it's real that a few months before the election Biden would suddenly discover that he had the power to close the border and then he would do it thus proving that the whole thing was based on either incompetence or a giant scheme to destroy the country or something be because at this point doesn't seem like he'd be better off acting like he it was impossible because if he just turns around and issues an executive order and closes the border you know seals it tighter than a baby's butt or something I don't know there's some some kind of old saying like that no that's smoother you don't want to say tighter than the baby's butt that sounds really bad I think the saying is SM no it's tighter than a n's ass but smoother than a baby's butt you don't want to confuse those never confuse those two all right my father had a lot of uh colorful sayings every every now and then you know you become your father you don't want to but every now and then I'll dredge up some old saying that I heard when I was you know eight years old and never left me tighter than a Nat's ass all right uh there's there's an article in the hill so the hill has become sort of hilarious the publication of the Hill uh uh because the closer it gets to the election the more laughably absurd the commentary is let me give you this one there's somebody named Alexander Bolton who's writing in the hill now how many people have a last name of Bolton I mean I know there are a few there's a singer but I just wonder if he's you know related to any other boltons in the government I don't know uh I'm just wondering I haven't looked it up but here's one of the things you said and I quote right now listen to this this is a real thing that somebody wrote in a real publication and it got published right just try to hold on to your head and just just try to hold your head from exploding this is just casually stated like it's a fact okay Maran who earned favorable reviews from legal experts for his careful handling of the case judge Manan who earned favorable reviews from legal experts for his careful handling of the case wh which reality did that happen in I was very much in the other reality the one where all I heard were uh people like Eli honig and you know dtz and basically everybody honest said it was a a total hijob and but but even if you're going to say they he earn favorable reviews Because by the way that's not false he did earn favorable reviews from all the partisans but if you're not going to point out the some of the most um respected legal Minds in America have said it's total lawfare and the most ridiculous thing they've ever seen in the history of of the courts I think you left out kind of a key fact there it's kind of a key fact propaganda anyway the the uh topic was whether or not there'll be jail time for Trump and some people say he might choose it but it could be house arrest or it could be community service um it would be highly unusual say the experts I don't think it would be highly unusual to put him in jail and the reason is it would be highly unusual that he would be even charged with those crimes so if you start with the most highly unusual prosecution in the highly unusual world we live in it's completely within the realm of expected behavior that they would put him in jail if the death sentence was on the table I would say it might be you know maybe it just you know luckily it's not one of the options so yeah let's keep an eye on that now the interesting thing is that um I'm hearing some people say that maybe the the judges will be influenced by the fact that if they rule against trump it could cause a civil war if they if they uh if they were to put him in jail do you think it would cause a civil war if Trump is put in jail the answer is oh yes it would but you know what happens it's too close to the election now today if you put Trump in jail it guarantees his election ction and he's already said Bring It On yeah if if it's jail it's jail you know it's not going to be like years if it's jail it's only going to be jail until he's president then he pardons himself I guess or something happens but I think he's willing to go to jail because it's easier it's probably easier than campaigning it would be the best campaign of all but here's what I think given that he made you know allegedly $200 million in campaign donations because of the lawfare if he spent one minute in jail do you have any idea the size of his campaign donations the as soon as like his foot crosses that barrier into a jail cell it'll be like that foot just enters the jail cell and it's just going to be kaching kaching kaching kinging it's going to rain money like nobody's ever seen in their life so he's in this situation which he didn't create for himself Trump did not create this situation but he sort of has two ways to win and no way to lose unless they do something really illegal which is an option um because if he's not in jail he's going to win and if he's in jail he's going to win twice as hard and what are they going to do here's the funny part 38 countries have banned uh Trump not speciic specifically but because he's a felon so if you're a felon did you know that you can't uh travel to the United States if you weren't already a citizen you couldn't even visit the United States if you're a felon I didn't know that actually I don't mind that that's a law but I wasn't aware of that but other countries where you can't go if you're a felon so imagine if he's president but he's still a felon he he wouldn't be able to travel to China Australia Canada or India now here's the question do you really think China and India are going to say no if he wants to visit let's take India how about Australia Australia too if Trump says I want to visit India or Australia are they going to say oh we'd really love to have you but we got this law no they would just change the law or they do whatever they had to do or they just ignore it or something yeah no they'd let him in um and then some people are thinking that China's social media is really pushing the Trump felon thing so the the thinking is that China is trying to push us into Civil War let me explain something about Republicans that may not be obvious if you're watching from the outside if you've seen all the street protests in the past few years uh I said this before but it's where repeating the only thing that ever becomes a straight protest is something that's organized and funded by some bigger entity so there's no such thing as like an organic you know black lives matter protest or antifa these are all organized things Republicans don't have that there's no entity that organizes Republicans for protests so short of that there's nothing that would cause everybody to just sort of I don't know pick up sticks and whatever else they have and go out in the street at the same time and where would they even go so there's no organizational structure that would cause Republicans to hit the streets and I don't see it forming and if it did form I would probably tell you to ignore them and then you might say to me but Scott that's clearly not true because on the January 6 event that was organized and that was a big old problem and I counter that with saying no it wouldn't have even been anything except they were already there for Trump's speech if the people weren't there for Trump's speech and therefore there was already a big crowd for that reason and they just had someplace else to go after the speech so sure there might have been people who had gone directly to the capital if there had never been any Trump speech but how many I mean a few hundred it would have made no difference at all it was only that there was just a a massive Crush of people and that was only because of a coincidence that they just happened to be there for Trump speech so no I see absolutely no possibility that there is a civil war because even on January 6 the Republicans left their weapons home now this is where the Democrats go no they didn't no they didn't they brought the weapons that was that one time that one person who had a stick all right so we're going toore all the stupid NPCs uh that there I think I want to make a list of all the NPC comments the the thing that somebody will definitely say I say the protesters were unarmed on January 6 what does the NPC say what what about the ones who use flag poles to hit people okay that did happen what about uh somebody had a gun in their car well okay that probably happened too but really are those your counter to a 99% peaceful protest all right the 11th uh circuit court has upheld uh a ruling that said the Venture Capital firm can't be racists well that's good as something called The Fearless fund they were trying to have some kind of grants that were race-based and they got sued and uh apparently now they they can't they can't be race based so apparently Dei is dying in uh A Thousand Cuts uh meanwhile over at Harvard The Faculty has dropped the mandatory diversity statement can you believe that ever existed I remember hearing stories about the Mc.

Carthy hearings you know I was too young to remember them but the Mc.

Carthy hearings were famous as like a A Dark Day in American history that you know people had to show their loyalty to the country and act like they're don't have any bad political ideas or you'll be blacklisted forever and but to know that you were alive when Harvard forced you to make a Dei diversity statement and if you didn't say the right stuff and forcefully enough you couldn't get hired it just amazes me that a like a political pledge to diversity had to be made before he could get job unbelievable but at least they backed off on that wisely because of the pressure uh Bill Maher who is uh 99% uh um rational but everything he says about Trump is actually just bad crazy I mean Bill Mah is basically just a a 20-year-old college girl when it comes to Trump oh no he's under the bed I think he's going to climb up on the bed and rape me me now Bill Mah is a 20-year-old college student female and uh he thinks that magga would go nuts if Trump is jailed yes we will go nuts with our wallets do you know why we' go nuts with our wallets as opposed to our guns because we're not crazy we're not crazy the bullets will work guns would be a big mistake so we'll use the thing that works yeah put him in jail for one day he will become more of a legend than ever if you want to turn him into you know the greatest martyr of all time in America go ahead go ahead I'm G to say the same thing that Trump said don't beg for anything if if it's going to happen it's going to happen and we'll take that variable and will'll work with it and we can work with it we can guarantee his election and you know what else is funny I'm assuming there's no way he'd ever be in general population we're we're clear on that right I mean even if they tried the you most ridiculous thing of getting rid of all security and put him into the general population to be killed I don't think there's really any chance of that happening so you know what you know what the interesting thing is if their plan was to assassinate him before he got into office before the election he'd be too protected because he he would be in the safest place that uh president could ever be as long as he's he's away from the other prisoners which I imagine he would be it's the safest place he could be so they might find the one way to guarantee he becomes president and I'm not sure I would have a civil war over that right Trump gets some rest wins the election uh it would reveal the other side for exactly what they are and then when he gets out he's going to be really mad and I like that so I I have to say I'm feeling a weird bit of optimism uh for all the wrong reasons um so rasmuson has her first poll since the felony conviction and it shows that Trump's support went down a little bit I don't think it went down enough uh that's outside the margin of error but it's a little bit down surprised me but he's still uh handily wins in a three-way matchup which is what it looks like it will be 45 to 40 but he had a bigger lead according to them now uh was it I think it was in the hill also the report reporting that the there are now uh there there are polls that show Biden is even or ahead do you believe the polls that say that Biden uh pulled even or is ahead I don't I do not believe those bows all right um let's see here's the biggest story of the day and it's uh one two three four five six words here's the most important six words to tell you everything you need to know about the next four months you ready six words that tell you everything you need to know for the next four months it's safe to back Trump now it's safe to back Trump now examples please um Colin rug had a good list of examples on X Doug Leon sequa Capital big billionaire guy he said yep I've become increasingly concerned about the general direction of the country blah blah blah uh therefore I'm supporting president Trump that's a big big deal if somebody's ahe of a uh you know Sequoia capital or you know a big member of a big VC firm it's a big deal because they're very visible Sean Maguire sea Capital also announced on X he was donating 300,000 um and prior to that he donated to Hillary Clinton these are some big flips David Sachs as you know craft Ventures he's got a fundraiser going on for Trump um chth chth Padia Social Capital he's also hosting a fundraiser both of those guys were not at least prominent Republicans before Bill akman always voted Democrat persing Square he's he says he's likely to back Trump after supporting Democrats forever and then Steve schwarzman the black of Blackstone a super rich guy he'll be backing Trump for 2024 now there probably a number of reasons for this number one you saw that CNN was starting to cover the Trump Biden situ situation at least was some balance that makes it a lot safer for ordinary normal people to say all right it looks like you know both sides are out there and people are not getting killed for it so I guess I can jump in the other thing is that I think people genuinely think another another term of Biden could be the end of America I think that I think another term of Biden could be might not be but it could be the end of America as you know know it I think that's legitimately a real thing and they're probably a little panicked about holding on to their situation which is the best situation in the world being a rich person in America pretty good deal they probably like to stay that way so I like to think that um my contribution to any of this is to make it safe so I think I made it safe to save her to criticize Dei would you agree and a lot of other people are doing the same so a lot of notable people who have reputations to protect are also coming out and say you know what it's a bunch of garbage here but I'll tell you one thing that most of these people have in common or if not all of them have you detected the one thing that all the people have in common who are now feeling safe that they can say Trump would be a better opt what is it about them well a lot of them are rich but it's not that something better is something more telling we don't have bosses that's the key variable I don't have a boss I used to have you know customers that could cancel me and then they did they did primarily for being a trump supporter they had an excuse but mostly it was that so I don't have a boss and I'm not worried about getting fired I guess again so I can tell you what I actually think what does uh what do Shan Maguire David Sachs chth Bill lman Doug Leon and Steve schwarzman have in common no bosses no bosses only people would know bosses have freedom of speech and there's a reason because big companies don't have the option of being provocative big companies have to stick with the the most common narrative because that's the safest thing so if you have a boss who works for a big company let's say let me use an example that might resonate with you let's say you are a doctor but you don't have a private practice and work for yourself because that's actually kind of rare these days you work for a big hospital or a big Medical Group you have a boss and then a pandemic comes along and the official word is get these vaccinations and your company says you know we're going to make a ton of money if you get everybody vaccinated so if I hear you saying that maybe you shouldn't get a vaccination you're fired so as long as we basically have a situation in the United States where free speech is limited lied to people who don't have a boss because if you have a boss the Agents of censorship will get to the boss because that's your weak spot the the boss will cave first because they're not about politics the boss is about money and should be so as soon as they say oh my money is threatened I'll do whatever you say so you can always make the big entity the government the big organization the big company they're too embarrassed to not full diversity full narrative full Democrat you know view of life so I'd like to suggest that an interesting framing for the coming months is that free speech exists only for people who don't have bosses because that's the truth everybody who has a boss is lying that's just the truth everybody who has a boss and is talking about politics in public they're probably lying because they have to they literally have to lie or they get fired now that doesn't mean that some of them don't believe what they're saying but I'm just saying yeah all right let's do a little less of that in the comments please over on locals yeah I I get it there a real book and that's the title of the book but you you're not helping out let let let's let's have some kind of a standard that is uh don't make it easy for people to close down the close down the channel don't make it easy don't make it easy by the way I'm not offended by what you did it's just a cover of a book and it's a book on the market and you know I just wouldn't do that here okay I appreciate it apology accepted see that's how it's done did you watch that that's how adults do it saw something I didn't like said why I didn't like it he says sorry I say apology accepted Now we move on the whole world should be like that like that that's a perfect transaction right there everything's good now have I ever told you that apologies are like a superpower for men because men unlike women accept apologies did you know that did you know that men only men accept apologies and and and I've I've explained this to women and they don't understand it yeah like I'll explain that once there's an apology and then an acceptance of apology I'll never think about it again for the rest of my life I'll never think about it once it's completely flushed but it's like a superpower so men can work with other men cuz as soon as you get you know you get checked on something it's like too far and and if that if that makes sense like you have to make your case you can't be just random then another man will say oh you're right sorry apology accepted moving on so good little moment there all right uh let's see what else uh caros Swisher it might be one of the dumbest people in all of politics so I love I love watching it just to find the dumb Parts uh but she said about Trump she was talking to Bill Maher and she believes that there's a silent majority of Americans that will come out for Biden on voting day a silent majority is there somebody who was afraid to be in in favor of Biden that might be the worst political analysis I've ever heard in my life uh and then she said we don't want chaos again talking about electing Trump we don't want chaos again chaos chaos did you have more chaos under the Trump Administration than we have now how how do you measure how do you measure the chaos I think inflation is chaos I think on uh I think Ukraine is chaos I think the way Biden handled the Middle East is chaos I think an open border is chaos I think lawfare against your opponents is chaos what the do you think is chaos you stupid piece of you are so dumb you should not be talking in public Caris Swisher Cara Swisher is the Alex Soros of Rosie O'Donald's speaking of Rosie O'Donald have you ever seen her in the same room with Michael Cohen it was only it was only today I found out that Michael Cohen and Rosie adonald are different people I was confused about that for a while anyway I'm just in front of all the ridiculous people but but Caris Wisher might be the dumbest person who talks about politics in in person and there's a lot of competition for that um so apparently Trump and some other smart people are saying that the New York stormmy Daniels case the felony case against Trump Should Skip the appell process and go directly to the Supreme Court I I have a mixed feeling about that but I would defer to the smarter legal experts that that's a better strategy I guess it's available as a strategy but I have to admit I would love to see the lower courts deal with the imperfections of the case because I'd like to see them say look good to me because I want to see how rotten the system is and this is one of those test cases where you could know for sure if the appell court is just political and rotten so I'd love to test them just to see if they're as rotten as we think it would be interesting to know but it would also be good to get her off the plate and you know move on get rid of the felony and all that so I can see both ways but I would miss it if we didn't get to condemn the appell court as part of this process all right now I need a fact check on this but I understand the Supreme Court is in the process of soon we'll be ruling on the question of what presidential immunity is and is not and the fact check I need is that that would have a potential impact on the New York stormmy Daniels verdict now is that because the felony charge depended on there being a alleged felony or a depending on a federal offense right so even though it was a state charge the state charge was elevated to a felony because it was pointing to the covering up of a illegality and a federal charge but since they weren't charging the federal charge he wasn't guilty of the federal charge only the state charge for covering up the Federal chart or something like that I don't know I can't I can't do any better than the Democrat they had cuz it's so weird but I guess I need to know is that real that if the Supreme Court ruled um that there's a lot of a lot of immunity could that reverse the lower could that reverse the uh trial verdict can I get a yes or no from that from anybody who's actually in that field of work I'm seeing some yeses but I don't know if those are yeses because people in the news said it or are you saying it B on your own analysis it will impact the Georgia case of election interference okay so it could affect some of his cases we'll see how that works out um Attorney General Andrew belly he's the AG from Missouri uh I guess they're challenging the uh student loan debt cancellation thing and that makes sense the strong argument that why would you take money from poor people and give it to rich people which is uh at least partly what's H what happens with st student loan forgiveness because a lot of the student loans are for people who had money or at least came from families that did have money um we're g to I guess we'll have to talk about the fouchy hearing I just hate the whole fouchy situation but I guess I got to talk about it in a minute um but first uh Biden is at some kind of fundraiser and this is what he said about Trump um here's what's becoming clearer and clearer every day this is Biden talking the threat that Trump poses would be greater in his second term than it was in his first term you mean the zero risk of his first term where we observe nothing happening of any consequence might be worse than zero it could be two times zero if you know what I mean twice as bad as zero wait two times zero that's still zero all right um he says uh this isn't the same Trump who got elected in 2016 he's worse oh this is new the argument is that he's a new worst Trump I wonder what it would made Trump so angry did anything happen to Trump between 2016 and now that would make him angry and then he says something snapped in him when he lost in 2020 he can't accept he lost and is literally driving him crazy now he's running again he's not only obsessed with losing in 2020 he is clearly unhinged called him a convicted felon now this is more of what I call the imaginary campaign so we've got a president that's probably imaginary meaning he's probably not the one making any decisions and the imaginary president is saying he should be reelected to another imaginary term because there's a greater risk of his imagination of what a second term of Trump would look like and that he imagines what Trump is thinking and he imagines that there bad stuff in his head and he imagine that he snaps and imagine that he's unhinged it literally is a campaign all about Biden's imagination so the imagination of a dementia patient is now the main planks of the democratic party and do you know who thinks that's a good idea apparently Alex Soros he thinks the imaginary campaign is the way to go yeah because that all the chaos is it imaginary oh let's ask the smartest person in politics Cara Cara swisser oh no the chaos oh no he's going to steal my democracy he already took my Norms he's got my Norms he's going to steal my democracy and he's going to bring his chaos are are there any people who are Democrats who are living in the real world the actual world where the borders open and inflation is high can they see that one no it's the chaos he steal my democracy he took my Norms I think he's snapping I think he's unhinged could be worse than the first term well it's Congress versus Dr fouchi here's what we know about it Davis saaks had a great summary of it but I'll summarize his summary uh that fouchi uh funded gain a function when he was when in Wuhan that he knew and wrote about that was a very risky proposition but he thought it was worth the risk uh sure enough that risk happened the virus got out and then when pressed about it he's allegedly lied about it and he tacted his of critics were claiming it's true now these are things which he would say never happened of course he would have his own version of that he uh says he's not the one who came up with that 6 foot distancing rule that was the CDC but some would say well maybe you didn't come up with it but you certainly seem to be a little too happy about it um he claims that the unvaccinated are responsible for 200 to 300,000 deaths so there believe the science Case Closed literally nobody in the room believe that at least not the Republicans and uh representative Jim Jordan asked him quote you agree that there was a push to downplay the lab leak Theory fouchi looked looked at him directly and said none on my part I kept an open mind through the whole process now as others have said that's not how we remembered it but I'm going to push back on that's not how we remembered it we don't have a good memory of this do you do you think that your memory of what fouchi did or did not do is accurate probably not from my this is based on hypnosis experience if you go through a situation exactly like this the most predictable thing I could tell you is you'll have massive false memories of what fouchi did or did not do because he's he's sort of the uh receptacle of all your hate you know all the bad experience that you had during the pandemic ends up getting focused because we like to blame a person and he's a kind of a handy one to blame so I've listened to all the accusations against him and I've heard his you know weasly excuses for why he's now guilty I think the truth is somewhere in the middle on this one somewhere in the middle I think there's some things he being blamed about that maybe he's got an argument for there are things he's blame for that he definitely doesn't have an argument for apparently he'd been trying to dice this whole question about gain a function that I guess he got redefined at some point and the redefinition was pushed by the people wanted to do the work so the people who wanted to do the work in the Wuhan lab the stuff that got out they couldn't have done it under an old definition of gain a function so they worked to change the definition and the definition was well it could gain a function but it can't be more it can't be worse for humans or it can't be more than 10 times worse which seems like the stupidest standard in the world if you make a gain of function that's 10 times worse I don't want that I don't want that at all and then the allegation is that what they made uh even after changing the definition was something that would still be gain of function under any definition that it was way more spread and let's see so the the bottom line is that uh the Republicans were trying to make ay out of you know insulting in public and blaming him for it all um and let's see and then I guess there were some things that he represented as settled science that were far from settled anyway so everything about that is exactly what you thought it would be it's fouchy claiming he wasn't so bad and Republicans saying you're twice as bad as anybody knows uh margerie Taylor green kept that interesting I continue to enjoy the show she puts on there's a National Institute of Health this American entity that I don't understand this so maybe somebody can help me apparently the National Institute of Health somehow has a deal where they can get royalties from drugs and drug companies that they have some some influence on and the story sort of Skips the important part so I don't know the important part of the story I'll tell you what I know apparently there were seven somebody figured out there are 710 million in royalties during the pandemic that went I don't know all or some to uh American officials in the National Institute of Health here's the part I don't know why did they get royalties wait what can anybody explain how that came about what what was the path by which people who were part of some American Institution that has some influence over what we do in health that they're getting paid by the drug companies paid indirectly through the royalties how in the world did that ever come about in the first place like we're we're arguing that it that this shouldn't happen but shouldn't we be arguing how did it happen in the first place like what what mechanism even allowed that to even be a possibility it's craziest story there's something about it I don't know and it's not in the news so the most important part seems to be missing how'd that happen in the first place I don't know well ladies and gentlemen that concludes my comments for today um I think the biggest story of the day is that you're going to see more people who don't have bosses don't have bosses say that they're going to go Trump and I think the the impetus is that with great power comes great responsibility what I mean by that is if you're a bill lman or you're you're head of one of these big companies David Sachs chamoth the people who have that much influence both because they have money but they're in positions where people listens to their opinions uh they have great power and they're sitting on the sidelines or had been sitting on the sidelines just saying oh let me let me do my business thing and make my money and take care of my family and you guys handle the politics but now you see what happens if the adults leave the politicians to politics it doesn't turn into an adult game anymore it turns into this weird criminal looking I don't know what it is so you're seeing the adults re-enter the room they're the people who have the power but until now had chosen to use it you know for capitalism and family reasons and now they realize that with that great power comes great responsibility do you think that David Sachs wants to be in politics like wants to be doing this every day I don't know because I'm not a mind reader but probably not probably would rather be doing almost anything else but with great power comes great responsibility and by the way that's exactly what drives me I don't know if you knew that but the thing that drives me is the Spider-Man problem I'm well aware that I have the ability to get attention that other people don't have it's just a power now it's because of my job and you know something about you know learning how to deal in the public realm but it is what it is and so if if I've got this power I feel I feel the pull I feel that I have to do do something personally even if it's hard even if it's dangerous because I have the power let me give you an example uh you're a man and a woman you're married and uh a crazy guy comes running at you with I don't know knife or a club or something uh what do you do instantly well if you're like most people instantly the woman backs up and the man stands between the As salant and the woman and does whatever he needs to do it might not work out well but he's going to do it anyway why why does that why do both the woman and the man automatically know without any conversation that she needs to back the up and he needs to go forward it's because with gray power comes responsibility if the woman could beat that as salent well you do it the other way but she can't her odds are low and you know we also want to protect female entities that can create babies and be mothers and stuff like that so there's there's a natural impulse to protect women if you're a man but I think that we're wired for power will stay dormant until it's called so there's there gigantic power pockets in the United States that are d because they're just doing their own business you know they're doing great things but it's their own business Elon Musk would be a perfect example someone doing amazing things and changing the world in the business realm but I don't think he wanted to be commenting on politics I think he realized that the the country was coming off the rails and if he talked people would listen and he probably knew that he can communicate better than most people and so he got drawn in it's the Spider-Man problem so you're going to watch the Spider-Man problem start just it's going to be this big sucking sound it's going to be sucking every person who doesn't have a boss this is very important doesn't have a boss uh you're going to see more and more of them coming into the game and that will be the big I think that's going to be the big story going into the election is the the number of power Pockets that came online and that ladies and gentlemen is all I have today so I'm going to say some words to the uh locals subscribers but if you're on X or You.

Tube or Rumble I'm going to say bye to you now and uh thanks for joining see you tomorrow and I'll stall a little bit e e e e e e e e e e e e e e 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 and

aren't you glad you're here to those of

you who uh come here every single

morning don't you love our little

routine I think the fact that we do this

every morning makes it like extra

special you never take a day off you

will be here be here well if you want to

take it up to the next level all you

need for that is a cuper muger glass of

tanker chalis tin a Canen Jugger flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure of

the dopamine H in the day thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and happens now

go so

good I'm feeling sanguine

all right I don't even know what that

means but it's a cool

word so I is Hunter Biden's going to

Cordon Delaware on gun charges let's see

Trump gets tried in the unfriendliest

place in the world and hunter gets tried

in the friendliest place in the world

for Hunter Delaware Home State uh Biden

friendly judge we

hear now this is an interesting case

because my understanding is the facts of

it are completely clear you know there

there's no question of what happened

which is very interesting how how do you

defend when the law has been broken and

there is no question about the details

of what

happened yeah there's no question that

he said he was uh he said he was not

addicted but he was when he got the

gun there's not much you can do with

that I mean there he's on video being

addicted Etc but somebody said that his

defense would be uh it's not his fault

because he was

high so the defense would be yes I was a

drug addict and I said I wasn't when I

applied for the gun but you have to

understand that I was a drug addict and

therefore I can't be totally

responsible for saying I'm a drug

addict and I have to

say it's not the worst ARG

arent it's not the worst argument

because the whole point of

being let me just pull this together for

you the reason you don't want a drug

addict to have a gun is what why do you

not want a drug addict to have a

gun only one

reason you don't trust that the drug

addict can make smart decisions am I

right that's that's the one only

reason Am I Wrong the only reason is

that we don't trust a drug addict to

make good decisions with the

gun but yet we do trust the drug addict

to make a good decision filling out

paperwork

seriously it's I it's a weirdly good

argument but it can't be

accepted the reason you can't accept it

is is because it refuses Free

Will so so the problem here is that free

will is what's on trial not a

hunter they're actually triing free will

because if he has free will well then

he's guilty and it doesn't matter if he

took drugs because you know those are

all his choices if he doesn't have free

will then not only could you make an

argument that on some moral grounds he's

not guilty although the law would say

otherwise uh but it was also you refute

all of the legal system like the entire

legal system would have to be thrown out

if if you know if you could say well

it's not what I was thinking at the time

or you could say I didn't have free will

so it's an interesting story I don't

think his I don't think his argument is

wrong on a philosophical sense I don't

think it'll work as a legal argument but

what else does he have and then somebody

said said that the charge could be up to

25 years in jail how many of you think

that lying about your drug use to get a

gun should put you in jail for 25 years

do any of you think that sounds about

right I mean it wasn't used in the

commission of a crime didn't have

priors how in the world is that fair I I

mean I hate to wake up and have to

defend Hunter Biden but there's no way I

think you should be in jail for 25 years

for lying on a

form I we need to find some kind of

perspective it's Mak me making me wonder

if this is political

too is this trial only being pushed for

political reasons why would you even do

it well here's another question I'd like

to ask

you if being a drug addict and then

getting a gun which requires you to sign

something apparently in whatever state

he was that says you're not a drug

addict don't you think that maybe 25% of

all gun

owners may have lied on the application

in the same

way in in my experience at least 25% of

the adult public is addicted to drugs

either alcohol or something else pills

or something when you say

25% so can you put somebody in jail for

25 years for doing exactly the same

thing exactly the same thing that maybe

25% of all gun owners

did and who gets to say if you're a drug

addict versus your between usage for

example if you were a drug addict but

you came you became clean do you say

you're still not a drug addict no if

you're a drug addict and you haven't had

a drug for 20 years you're still a drug

addict am I wrong you're just a drug

addict who's got it under control so if

you're a drug addict who hasn't had a

drug for a little

while do you get to say that you're not

one when you fill out your Federal Form

because that would be a lie so does

everybody who ever used to be drinking

too much or used to be on drugs do they

never get to have a a gun because they

would be lying if they say they're not

drug addicts they would be that would

definitely be a lie

what what

if and this is how I would do the

defense here's how I do it I'd say this

standard of are you or are you not a

drug addict is

subjective in other words the day I got

the gun it was in my honest opinion a

day when I was not a drug addict because

that day I wasn't high and I plann to

stay that way I plan to stay not high so

the day I applied for the gun in my own

opinion which is the only one that

matters because it's not based on a

medical standard it's based on

self-reporting and my self-reported

truth was that

day in my own mind I believed I was

clean and was going to stay clean it

didn't work out I didn't stay clean but

when I got the

gun I was not a drug addict in my

opinion and if if it's somebody else's

opin opinion that you were a drug addict

how do you apply that

standard so there's kind of an

interesting question here that it could

easily get to the Supreme Court which is

how do you apply the standard that

somebody is a drug addict at the moment

of the

purchase I don't see how that standard

could ever work so it's interesting

we'll see all right uh Pierce Morgan had

some guesss on uh and it was funny

because the the panel was for smart

people plus a

Democrat I know that sounds funny but

that's what it

was and uh one of the people was uh

Michael nolles you know him from daily

wire and he said S Pierce Pierce to ask

the

Democrat uh he said I would challenge

her to see if she could articulate what

crime Trump committed because she was

going all anti-trump and he's a felon

and so

Pierce smelling blood in the water goes

and uh What uh what what crime did Trump

commit just in the most non-threatening

way yeah and what uh what crime was that

so she goes uh well it was a it was a

financial crimes or white collar crimes

and then Pierce just calmly goes I know

but like specifically like what was the

crime well things and things and

complicated Financial

things that weren't supposed to be those

things that were different than the

things and Pierce just made her he just

made her squirm while the other SM smart

people were just smiling with that

pleased

look oh I want to see more of

this can we please please just have

Democrats on and have somebody asked to

describe what the charge was can we

please do that

that' be

great there's some kind of melanoma shot

that in early trials looks impressive so

if you had a melanoma cancer they say

this mRNA shot it's a vaccine they say

uh could cut the risk of dying in half

so I don't know why they call it a

vaccine because you get it after you got

the melanoma so I didn't know the word

work that way but uh do you trust the

new mRNA vaccine if if it becomes

available you going to sign up for that

here's a

problem are you like me you've lost all

Faith In Everything

Medical I just don't believe anything

from a doctor or the science or the just

I've lost all all credibility is just

gone I don't know what to do about that

let's talk about the fake news so the

Washington Post had a big shake up they

had a new attit

and uh here's the funny part so the CEO

Will Lewis he was having an all hands

meeting a guest telling people what the

changes would be and he was asked at the

meeting uh whether he had interviewed

any diverse candidates or women to be

the new executive

editor because I replaced a woman who

was the executive editor and I guess

they must have picked a white man and so

the staff

said I don't know about that white man

have you talked to anybody who wasn't a

a white

man cuz we don't really think we're

comfortable having a white man there

unless you worked really really hard to

make sure it wasn't a white man and

there was just nothing you could do

about it he was just the only person who

could do this job and we kind of frankly

a little bit a little bit skeptical that

there's not a single diverse candidate

in the whole world who could be in this

job as editor of the Washington

Post so uh I only Bring It because it's

funny to watch Dei eat the Washington

Post remember the Washington Post is who

started the cancellation of Dilbert

that's you know they're the ones who

made the big difference

anyway and they're getting eaten by

their

own

philosophy so

sad um so Alex Soros who's now in charge

of the big Soros

funding uh he retweeted or rep posted uh

an article in the

Atlantic and the title was Trump's plan

to supercharge

inflation now I didn't read the

article because if you actually read an

article in an publication called the

Atlantic oh I'm

sorry I'm sorry that happened to you now

you don't read the articles now the

Atlantic if you didn't know is your

biggest signal for fake news maybe the

fake of all the fake the Atlantic is

going to do the stuff that even MSNBC

would be too embarrassed to do right so

that in terms of the uh pure propaganda

you know they're all the way in the pure

propaganda something like you know the

AP or you know even CNN that they might

be

biased but the Atlantic is not in the

category of we have a preference no

they're just outright propaganda now if

you didn't know that you would think oh

this is something to consider maybe

maybe Trump will supercharge inflation

and by the way I'm not saying he won't

because I don't think any of our leaders

have any control of the of the Deb at

this point but uh here's the other thing

I always wondered how the Democrats got

their marching orders like how do they

know what to say so that they're all

saying the same thing and I guess we

know so what it takes is Alex Soros who

is their main source of funding he's

like the biggest source of funding for

the Democrats he simply posts something

on social media and points to an article

and then that's the talking point so

watch for the talking point to be that

Trump's going to make inflation

worse now you notice that the the fakest

of the fake news will always go after

whatever is the democrat's weakest point

and then they'll start a fake news

that's you know whatever is the counter

to the weakest point so Biden's weakest

point is inflation so the Atlantic

predictably comes up with some article

that I never going to read but the title

says it all Trump's plan to supercharge

inflation so yes if you see an Alex

Soros post about an Atlantic article you

just saw the signal coming from the

funer of what the Democrats need to say

to keep the person who gives them money

happy there it is now if you didn't know

that you didn't know what the Atlantic

is and you didn't know who Alex Soros is

it would just be a post but once you

learn the players you can you can see

that this is the messaging from the top

telling everybody what to

do that that's your real government

right there the actual government is

Alex Soros posting an Atlantic story

because that will change CH more things

than almost anything else the government

was

doing so here's what you need to know

about that what you need to know is that

the Atlantic is like the Adam shiff of

Jamie

raskins I'm going to say it again

because it was so clever the

Atlantic as a publication it's like the

Adam shift of Jamie

raskins there there's a small band of

propagandists who are always the ones

you see when there's like a serious

problem with the narrative like they're

the narrative doctors yeah or the

narrative you know maybe

Killers

assassins all right speaking of

narrative

assassins the Biden Administration

somebody in it as uh the some Department

of Justice group is indicting The Epic

Times Chief Financial Officer for an

alleged gigantic money laundering scheme

of 67

million now the Gateway pundits

reporting this now the epoch I never

know if it's epic or Epoch but

um they are a right leading

publication and suddenly they're getting

closed down do you think it's a

coincidence this close to an election

that one of the uh

reliably anti-biden anti-democrat

Publications just suddenly had a big fin

iial

allegation now my take on this I saw

Mike Ben's posting on this and the

implication was that it was a a BS

lawfare thing but there are

details that the the story comes with

some details about the allegations and

there are a lot of details for something

that's totally made

up so I'm going to say there's something

that happened here because there are way

too many

details uh but that doesn't mean the

individual who got picked up is guilty

you know innocent until proven guilty

and in these days of lawfare you really

do have to take seriously that maybe

it's completely made up you know I I

don't think Mike Ben is crazy when his

first instinct is it's completely made

up because we live in a world where it

would be completely within the expected

range of behavior to close down a a uh

an entity entirely just because you

didn't like what they were saying we do

live in that world that's that's not

speculative that's that's exactly our

current environment Anything Could

Happen well I continue to be uh amused

and entertained by CNN trying to find

the middle ground and damn it they did

it

again so I'm I'm going to give them

credit again for telling a story exactly

the way I want the story told and what I

mean by that is they showed both sides

and they didn't shade it a bit so here's

what I mean so James carille was on the

network and he you said you know stop

making a big deal about the fact that

judge Maran once made a $35 donation to

a some kind of stop Trump organization

and he criticized CNN's own one of their

top legal analysts Eli honig who had you

know pointed out a number of

improprieties in the lawfare cases

against Trump so so now you've got Eli H

honig doing what I would consider a

really solid analysis exactly the kind

of thing that CN CNN needs to be

credible because you you're going to see

the other side so why not see the the

real one uh and then here just pulling

it all together Smur

cones uh

once um once Carville had criticized Eli

honig smes has Eli honig on to defend

himself and his defense was quite strong

he said imagine it was the other way

around imagine the judge in this case

had donated to a anti-biden prot trump

go Maga uh organization but it was only

$35 yeah hey hey so don't worry people

it was only

$35 would that be okay would anybody be

complain complaining about that of

course they would it would be the

biggest complaint in the

world so without taking sides on the

topic itself uh smires is being

smish and he's he's showing you the

actual arguments in the real world

without the spin he showing both

sides uh so I have total respect for

that all

right

um then as you're learning who the

characters are another big signal that

the Democrat narrative is broken and

they've sent out the repair team is a

fellow on ABC News and you know him his

name is George Sten

papalos wait I I think I pronounced that

right it's a

George

sopas PN

snas

pfas well George let's call him George

so uh he had on one of uh Trump's

lawyers and uh he was insisting that

there is no evidence come on there's no

evidence that the prosecution and the

New York trial had any coordination with

the Biden White House I I don't know

what you're talking about and I'm going

to make that face of

you yeah you have to see the photo

that's in at least the one on social

media of the George stopless face he's

just

like I will make this face of you to

change to change how your words are

received by my public stop saying those

words I don't want to

hear I'll use my face to stop them

well and then I guess uh I think it was

Will sharf was the attorney and he he

pointed out that the number three person

at Biden's Department of Justice stepped

down meaning took it to motion willingly

inv voluntarily to go work on this case

and that would certainly

suggest a strong inference of

coordination with the white house and

then when you add the funny Willis's

prosecutors meeting at the White House

and some other stuff it looks kind of

obvious but no George is the vapas

says no way fake news no coordination

there is no evidence of that so here's

what you need to know if you know the

players you can tell what's True by who

they send to tell it's

false this is really important you can

tell what's True by which character

specifically they send to say it's false

if they send Adam Schiff to say it's not

true oh it's true

if they send Jamie Raskin to say it's

not true it's definitely true if they

send George

stenopus to say it's not true oh it's

definitely true it's definitely true and

if the Atlantic says something's true

it's definitely not true so there those

are your strongest signals for fake news

uh Rasin Schiff and George stefas in the

Atlantic and then you can see that Alex

Soros seems to be you know maybe pushing

the narrative from the

top we're told I see unusual whales who

reporting that there's some expectation

that Biden's going to sign an

immigration order to temporarily close

the

border from Asylum

Seekers does that even sound

real I'm having trouble believing

anything these days do you believe it's

real

that a few months before the election

Biden would suddenly discover that he

had the power to close the border and

then he would do

it thus proving

that the whole thing was based on either

incompetence or a giant scheme to

destroy the

country or

something be because at this point

doesn't seem like he'd be better off

acting like he it was

impossible because if he just turns

around and issues an executive order and

closes the border you know seals it

tighter than a baby's butt or something

I don't know there's some some kind of

old saying like that no that's smoother

you don't want to say tighter than the

baby's butt that sounds really bad I

think the saying is SM no it's tighter

than a n's ass but smoother than a

baby's

butt you don't want to confuse

[Laughter]

those never confuse those two

all right my father had a lot of uh

colorful sayings every every now and

then you know you become your father you

don't want to but every now and then

I'll dredge up some old saying that I

heard when I was you know eight years

old and never left me tighter than a

Nat's

ass all

right uh there's there's an article in

the hill so the hill has become sort of

hilarious the publication of the Hill uh

uh because the closer it gets to the

election the more laughably absurd the

commentary is let me give you this one

there's somebody named Alexander Bolton

who's writing in the hill now how many

people have a last name of

Bolton I mean I know there are a few

there's a

singer but I just wonder if he's you

know related to any other boltons in the

government I don't know uh I'm just

wondering I haven't looked it up but

here's one of the things you said

and I quote right now listen to this

this is a real thing that somebody wrote

in a real publication and it got

published right just try to hold on to

your head and just just try to hold your

head from exploding this is just

casually stated like it's a fact okay

Maran who earned favorable reviews from

legal experts for his careful handling

of the case

judge Manan who earned favorable reviews

from legal experts for his careful

handling of the

case wh which reality did that happen

in I was very much in the other reality

the one where all I heard were uh people

like Eli honig and you know dtz and

basically everybody

honest said it was a a total hijob

and but but even if you're going to say

they he earn favorable reviews Because

by the way that's not false he did earn

favorable reviews from all the

partisans but if you're not going to

point out the some of the most um

respected legal Minds in America have

said it's total lawfare and the most

ridiculous thing they've ever seen in

the history of of the

courts I think you left out kind of a

key fact there it's kind of a key fact

propaganda anyway the the uh topic was

whether or not there'll be jail time for

Trump and some people say he might

choose it but it could be house arrest

or it could be community

service um it would be highly unusual

say the

experts I don't think it would be highly

unusual to put him in jail and the

reason is it would be highly unusual

that he would be even charged with those

crimes so if you start with the most

highly unusual prosecution in the highly

unusual world we live in

it's completely within the realm of

expected behavior that they would put

him in

jail if the death sentence was on the

table I would say it might be you know

maybe it just you know luckily it's not

one of the

options so yeah let's keep an eye on

that now the interesting thing is that

um I'm hearing some people

say that maybe the the judges will be

influenced by the fact that if they rule

against trump it could cause a civil

war if they if they uh if they were to

put him in

jail do you think it would cause a civil

war if Trump is put in

jail the answer is oh yes it would but

you know what happens it's too close to

the election

now today if you put Trump in

jail it guarantees his election ction

and he's already said Bring It On yeah

if if it's jail it's jail you know it's

not going to be like years if it's jail

it's only going to be jail until he's

president then he pardons himself I

guess or something happens

but I think he's willing to go to jail

because it's easier it's probably easier

than

campaigning it would be the best

campaign of all but here's what I think

given that he made you know allegedly

$200 million in campaign donations

because of the

lawfare if he spent one minute in jail

do you have any

idea the size of his campaign

donations the as soon as like his foot

crosses that barrier into a jail cell

it'll be like that foot just enters the

jail cell and it's just going to be

kaching kaching kaching

kinging it's going to rain money

like nobody's ever seen in their life so

he's in this situation which he didn't

create for himself Trump did not create

this situation but he sort of has two

ways to win and no way to lose unless

they do something really illegal which

is an

option um because if he's not in jail

he's going to win and if he's in jail

he's going to win twice as

hard

and what are they going to

do here's the funny part 38 countries

have banned uh Trump not speciic

specifically but because he's a felon so

if you're a felon did you know that you

can't uh travel to the United

States if you weren't already a citizen

you couldn't even visit the United

States if you're a felon I didn't know

that actually I don't mind that that's a

law but I wasn't aware of

that but other countries where you can't

go if you're a felon so imagine if he's

president but he's still a felon he he

wouldn't be able to travel to China

Australia Canada or India now here's the

question do you really think China and

India are going to say no if he wants to

visit let's take India how about

Australia Australia too if Trump says I

want to visit India or Australia are

they going to say oh we'd really love to

have you but we got this

law no they would just change the law or

they do whatever they had to do or they

just ignore it or something yeah no

they'd let him

in um and then some people are thinking

that China's social media is really

pushing the Trump felon thing so the the

thinking is that China is trying to push

us into Civil

War let me explain something about

Republicans that may not be obvious if

you're watching from the

outside if you've seen all the street

protests in the past few years uh I said

this before but it's where

repeating the only thing that ever

becomes a straight protest is something

that's organized and funded by some

bigger entity so there's no such thing

as like an organic you know black lives

matter protest or antifa these are all

organized things Republicans don't have

that there's no entity that organizes

Republicans for

protests so short of

that there's nothing that would cause

everybody to just sort of I don't know

pick up sticks and whatever else they

have and go out in the street at the

same time and where would they even go

so there's no organizational structure

that would cause Republicans to hit the

streets and I don't see it forming and

if it did form I would probably tell you

to ignore them and then you might say to

me but Scott that's clearly not true

because on the January 6 event that was

organized and that was a big old

problem and I counter that with saying

no it wouldn't have even been anything

except they were already there for

Trump's speech if the people weren't

there for Trump's speech and therefore

there was already a big crowd for that

reason and they just had someplace else

to go after the speech so sure there

might have been people who had gone

directly to the capital if there had

never been any Trump speech but how many

I mean a few hundred it would have made

no difference at all it was only that

there was just a a massive Crush of

people and that was only because of a

coincidence that they just happened to

be there for Trump speech so no I see

absolutely no possibility that there is

a civil war because even on January 6

the Republicans left their weapons home

now this is where the Democrats go no

they didn't no they didn't they brought

the weapons that was that one time that

one person who had a stick all right so

we're going toore all the stupid NPCs

uh that there I think I want to make a

list of all the NPC

comments the the thing that somebody

will definitely say I say the protesters

were unarmed on January 6 what does the

NPC say what what about the ones who use

flag poles to hit people okay that did

happen what about uh somebody had a gun

in their car well okay that probably

happened too but really are those your

counter to a 99% peaceful

protest all

right the 11th uh circuit court has

upheld uh a ruling that said the Venture

Capital firm can't be

racists well that's good as something

called The Fearless fund they were

trying to have some kind of grants that

were race-based and they got

sued and uh apparently now they they

can't they can't be race based so

apparently Dei is dying in uh A Thousand

Cuts uh meanwhile over at Harvard The

Faculty has dropped the mandatory

diversity statement can you believe that

ever existed I remember hearing stories

about the McCarthy hearings you know I

was too young to remember them but the

McCarthy hearings were famous as like a

A Dark Day in American history that you

know people had to show their loyalty to

the country and act like they're don't

have any bad political ideas or you'll

be blacklisted forever and but to know

that you were alive when Harvard forced

you to make a Dei diversity statement

and if you didn't say the right stuff

and forcefully enough you couldn't get

hired it just amazes me that a like a

political pledge to diversity had to be

made before he could get

job unbelievable but at least they

backed off on that wisely because of the

pressure uh Bill Maher who is uh 99% uh

um rational but everything he says about

Trump is actually just bad crazy I

mean Bill Mah is basically just a a

20-year-old college girl when it comes

to Trump oh no he's under the bed I

think he's going to climb up on the bed

and rape me me now Bill Mah is a

20-year-old college student

female and uh he thinks that magga would

go nuts if Trump is

jailed yes we will go

nuts with our

wallets do you know why we' go nuts with

our

wallets as opposed to our

guns because we're not

crazy we're not crazy the bullets will

work guns would be a big

mistake so we'll use the thing that

works yeah put him in jail for one day

he will become more of a legend than

ever if you want to turn him into you

know the greatest martyr of all time in

America go

ahead go ahead I'm G to say the same

thing that Trump said don't beg for

anything if if it's going to happen it's

going to happen and we'll take that

variable and will'll work with it and we

can work with it we can guarantee his

election and you know what else is

funny I'm assuming there's no way he'd

ever be in general

population we're we're clear on that

right I mean even if they tried the you

most ridiculous thing of getting rid of

all security and put him into the

general population to be killed I don't

think there's really any chance of that

happening so you know what you know what

the interesting thing is

if their plan was to assassinate him

before he got into office before the

election he'd be too

protected because he he would be in the

safest place that uh president could

ever

be as long as he's he's away from the

other prisoners which I imagine he would

be it's the safest place he could be so

they might find the one way to guarantee

he becomes president and I'm not sure I

would have a civil war over that right

Trump gets some

rest wins the

election uh it would reveal the other

side for exactly what they

are and then when he gets out he's going

to be really

mad and I like

that so I I have to say I'm feeling a

weird bit of optimism uh for all the

wrong

reasons um so rasmuson has her first

poll since the felony conviction and it

shows that Trump's support went down a

little bit I don't think it went down

enough uh that's outside the margin of

error but it's a little bit down

surprised me but he's still uh handily

wins in a three-way matchup which is

what it looks like it will be 45 to 40

but he had a bigger lead according to

them now uh was it I think it was in the

hill also the report reporting that the

there are now uh there there are polls

that show Biden is even or

ahead do you believe the polls that say

that Biden uh pulled even or is

ahead I don't I do not believe those

bows all right um let's

see here's the biggest story of the

day and it's uh one two three four five

six

words here's the most important six

words to tell you everything you need to

know about the

next four

months you ready six words that tell you

everything you need to know for the next

four

months it's safe to back Trump

now it's safe to back

Trump now examples please

um Colin rug had a good list of examples

on X Doug Leon sequa Capital big

billionaire guy he said yep I've become

increasingly concerned about the general

direction of the country blah blah blah

uh therefore I'm supporting president

Trump that's a big big deal if

somebody's ahe of a uh you know Sequoia

capital or you know a big member of a

big VC firm it's a big deal because

they're very

visible Sean Maguire sea Capital also

announced on X he was donating

300,000 um and prior to that he donated

to Hillary

Clinton these are some big

flips David Sachs as you know craft

Ventures he's got a fundraiser going on

for

Trump um chth chth Padia Social Capital

he's also hosting a fundraiser both of

those guys were not at least prominent

Republicans before Bill akman always

voted Democrat persing Square he's he

says he's likely to back Trump after

supporting Democrats forever and then

Steve schwarzman the black of

Blackstone a super rich guy he'll be

backing Trump for

2024

now there probably a number of reasons

for this number one you saw that CNN was

starting to cover the Trump Biden situ

situation at least was some balance that

makes it a lot safer for ordinary normal

people to say all right it looks like

you know both sides are out there and

people are not getting killed for it so

I guess I can jump in the other thing is

that I think people genuinely think

another another term of Biden could be

the end of

America I think that I think another

term of Biden could be might not be but

it could be the end of America as you

know know it I think that's legitimately

a real thing and they're probably a

little panicked about holding on to

their situation which is the best

situation in the world being a rich

person in America pretty good deal they

probably like to stay that way

so I like to think

that um my contribution to any of this

is to make it

safe so I think I made it safe to save

her to criticize

Dei would you

agree and a lot of other people are

doing the same so a lot of notable

people who have reputations to protect

are also coming out and say you know

what it's a bunch of garbage here but

I'll tell you one thing that most of

these people have in common or if not

all of them have you detected the one

thing that all the people have in common

who are now feeling safe that they can

say Trump would be a better opt

what is it about them well a lot of them

are rich but it's not that something

better is something more

telling we don't have

bosses that's the key variable I don't

have a

boss I used to have you know customers

that could cancel me and then they did

they did primarily for being a trump

supporter they had an excuse but mostly

it was

that so I don't have a boss and I'm not

worried about getting fired I guess

again so I can tell you what I actually

think what does uh what do Shan Maguire

David Sachs chth Bill lman Doug Leon and

Steve schwarzman have in

common no

bosses no

bosses only people would know bosses

have freedom of speech and there's a

reason

because big companies don't have the

option of being

provocative big companies have to stick

with the the most common narrative

because that's the safest thing so if

you have a boss who works for a big

company let's say let me use an example

that might resonate with you let's say

you are a

doctor but you don't have a private

practice and work for yourself because

that's actually kind of rare these days

you work for a big hospital or a big

Medical Group you have a

boss and then a pandemic comes along and

the official word is get these

vaccinations and your company says you

know we're going to make a ton of money

if you get everybody vaccinated so if I

hear you saying that maybe you shouldn't

get a vaccination you're

fired so as long as we basically have a

situation in the United States where

free speech is limited lied to people

who don't have a boss because if you

have a boss the Agents of censorship

will get to the boss because that's your

weak spot the the boss will cave first

because they're not about politics the

boss is about money and should be so as

soon as they say oh my money is

threatened I'll do whatever you

say so you can always make the big

entity the government the big

organization the big company they're too

embarrassed to not full diversity full

narrative full Democrat you know view of

life so I'd like to suggest that an

interesting framing for the coming

months is that free speech exists only

for people who don't have bosses because

that's the truth everybody who has a

boss is

lying that's just the truth everybody

who has a boss and is talking about

politics in public they're probably

lying because they have to they

literally have to lie or they get fired

now that doesn't mean that some of them

don't believe what they're saying but

I'm just

saying yeah all right let's do a little

less of that in the comments please over

on

locals yeah I I get it there a real book

and that's the title of the book but you

you're not helping

out let let let's let's have some kind

of a

standard that is uh don't make it easy

for people to close down the close down

the

channel don't make it easy don't make it

easy by the way I'm not offended by what

you did it's just a cover of a book and

it's a book on the market and you know I

just wouldn't do that

here okay I appreciate it apology

accepted see that's how it's done did

you watch that that's how adults do it

saw something I didn't like said why I

didn't like it he says sorry I say

apology accepted Now we move

on the whole world should be like that

like that that's a perfect transaction

right there everything's good now have I

ever told you that apologies are like a

superpower for men because men unlike

women accept apologies

did you know that did you know that men

only men accept

apologies and and and I've I've

explained this to women and they don't

understand

it yeah like I'll explain that once

there's an apology and then an

acceptance of apology I'll never think

about it again for the rest of my life

I'll never think about it once it's

completely

flushed but it's like a superpower so

men can work with other men cuz as soon

as you get you know you get checked on

something it's like too far and and if

that if that makes sense like you have

to make your case you can't be just

random then another man will say oh

you're right sorry apology accepted

moving on so good little moment

there all right uh let's see what else

uh caros

Swisher it might be one of the dumbest

people in all of politics so I love I

love watching it just to find the dumb

Parts uh but she said about Trump she

was talking to Bill

Maher and she believes that there's a

silent majority of Americans that will

come out for Biden on voting day a

silent

majority is there somebody who was

afraid to be in in favor of

Biden that might be the worst political

analysis I've ever heard in my life uh

and then she said we don't want chaos

again talking about electing Trump we

don't want chaos again

chaos

chaos did you have more chaos under the

Trump Administration than we have now

how how do you measure how do you

measure the chaos I think inflation is

chaos I think on uh I think Ukraine is

chaos I think the way Biden handled the

Middle East is chaos I think an open

border is chaos I think lawfare against

your opponents is chaos what the do

you think is chaos you stupid piece of

you are so dumb you should not be

talking in public Caris Swisher

Cara Swisher is the Alex Soros of Rosie

O'Donald's speaking of Rosie O'Donald

have you ever seen her in the same room

with Michael

Cohen it was only it was only today I

found out that Michael Cohen and Rosie

adonald are different people I was

confused about that for a

while anyway I'm just in front of all

the ridiculous people but but Caris

Wisher might be the dumbest person who

talks about politics in in

person and there's a lot of competition

for that um so apparently Trump and some

other smart people are saying that the

New York stormmy Daniels case the felony

case against Trump Should Skip the

appell process and go directly to the

Supreme

Court I I have a mixed feeling about

that but I would defer to the smarter

legal experts that that's a better

strategy I guess it's available as a

strategy but I have to admit I would

love to see the lower

courts deal with the imperfections of

the

case because I'd like to see them say

look good to

me because I want to see how rotten the

system is and this is one of those test

cases where you could know for sure if

the appell court is just political and

rotten so I'd love to test them just to

see if they're as rotten as we think it

would be interesting to

know but it would also be good to get

her off the plate and you know move on

get rid of the felony and all that so I

can see both ways but I would miss it if

we didn't get to condemn the appell

court as part of this

process all right now I need a fact

check on this but I understand the

Supreme Court is in the process of soon

we'll be ruling on the question of what

presidential immunity is and is

not and the fact check I need is that

that would have a potential impact on

the New York stormmy Daniels

verdict now is that because the felony

charge

depended

on there being

a alleged felony or a depending on a

federal offense right so even though it

was a state charge the state charge was

elevated to a felony because it was

pointing to the covering up of a

illegality and a federal charge but

since they weren't charging the federal

charge he wasn't guilty of the federal

charge only the state charge for

covering up the Federal chart or

something like that I don't know I can't

I can't do any better than the Democrat

they had cuz it's so weird but I guess I

need to know is that real that if the

Supreme Court ruled um that there's a

lot of a lot of immunity could that

reverse the lower could that reverse the

uh trial verdict can I get a yes or no

from that from anybody who's actually in

that field of

work I'm seeing some yeses but I don't

know if those are yeses because people

in the news said it or are you saying it

B on your own

[Music]

analysis it will impact the Georgia case

of election

interference okay so it could affect

some of his cases we'll see how that

works

out um Attorney General Andrew belly

he's the AG from

Missouri uh I guess they're challenging

the uh student loan debt cancellation

thing and that makes

sense the strong argument that why would

you take money from poor people and give

it to rich people which is uh at least

partly what's H what happens with st

student loan forgiveness because a lot

of the student loans are for people who

had money or at least came from families

that did have

money

um we're g to I guess we'll have to talk

about the fouchy hearing I just hate the

whole fouchy

situation but I guess I got to talk

about it

in a minute

um but first uh Biden is at some kind of

fundraiser and this is what he said

about Trump um here's what's becoming

clearer and clearer every day this is

Biden talking the threat that Trump

poses would be greater in his second

term than it was in his first

term you mean the zero risk of his first

term where we observe nothing happening

of any

consequence might be worse than zero it

could be two times zero if you know what

I mean twice as bad as zero wait two

times zero that's still

zero all

right um he says uh this isn't the same

Trump who got elected in 2016 he's worse

oh this is new the argument is that he's

a new worst Trump I wonder what it would

made Trump so angry

did anything happen to Trump between

2016 and now that would make him

angry and then he says something snapped

in him when he lost in 2020 he can't

accept he

lost and is literally driving him crazy

now he's running again he's not only

obsessed with losing in 2020 he is

clearly unhinged called him a convicted

felon now this is more of what I call

the imaginary

campaign so we've got a president that's

probably imaginary meaning he's probably

not the one making any

decisions and the imaginary president is

saying he should be reelected to another

imaginary term because there's a greater

risk of his imagination of what a second

term of Trump would look like and that

he imagines what Trump is thinking and

he imagines that there bad stuff in his

head and he imagine that he snaps and

imagine that he's

unhinged it literally is a campaign all

about Biden's

imagination so the imagination of a

dementia patient is now the main planks

of the democratic party and do you know

who thinks that's a good

idea apparently Alex

Soros he thinks the imaginary campaign

is the way to go yeah because that all

the chaos

is it imaginary oh let's ask the

smartest person in politics Cara Cara

swisser oh no the chaos oh no he's going

to steal my

democracy he already took my Norms he's

got my Norms he's going to steal my

democracy and he's going to bring his

chaos are are there any people who are

Democrats who are living in the real

world the actual world where the borders

open and inflation is high can they see

that one no it's the chaos he steal my

democracy he took my Norms I think he's

snapping I think he's unhinged could be

worse than the first

term well it's Congress versus Dr fouchi

here's what we know about it Davis saaks

had a great summary of it but I'll

summarize his

summary uh that fouchi uh funded gain a

function

when he was when in

Wuhan that he knew and wrote about that

was a very risky proposition but he

thought it was worth the risk uh sure

enough that risk happened the virus got

out and then when pressed about it he's

allegedly lied about it and he tacted

his of critics were claiming it's true

now these are things which he would say

never happened of course he would have

his own version of that

he uh says he's not the one who came up

with that 6 foot distancing rule that

was the CDC but some would say well

maybe you didn't come up with it but you

certainly seem to be a little too happy

about it um he claims that the

unvaccinated are responsible for 200 to

300,000 deaths so

there believe the

science Case

Closed literally nobody in the room

believe that

at least not the

Republicans and uh representative Jim

Jordan asked him quote you agree that

there was a push to downplay the lab

leak Theory fouchi looked looked at him

directly and said none on my

part I kept an open mind through the

whole

process now as others have said that's

not how we remembered it but I'm going

to push back on that's not how we

remembered it we don't have a good

memory of this do you do you think that

your memory of what fouchi did or did

not do is

accurate probably

not from my this is based on hypnosis

experience if you go through a situation

exactly like this the most predictable

thing I could tell you is you'll have

massive false memories of what fouchi

did or did not

do because he's he's sort of the uh

receptacle of all your hate you know all

the bad experience that you had during

the pandemic ends up getting focused

because we like to blame a person and

he's a kind of a handy one to blame so

I've listened to all the accusations

against him and I've heard his you know

weasly excuses for why he's now guilty I

think the truth is somewhere in the

middle on this one somewhere in the

middle I think there's some things he

being blamed about that

maybe he's got an argument for there are

things he's blame for that he definitely

doesn't have an argument for apparently

he'd been trying to dice this whole

question about gain a function that I

guess he got redefined at some point and

the redefinition was pushed by the

people wanted to do the

work so the people who wanted to do the

work in the Wuhan lab the stuff that got

out they couldn't have done it under an

old definition of gain a function so

they worked to change the

definition and the definition was

well it could gain a function but it

can't be more it can't be worse for

humans or it can't be more than 10 times

worse which seems like the stupidest

standard in the world if you make a gain

of function that's 10 times worse I

don't want that I don't want that at all

and then the allegation is that what

they made uh even after changing the

definition

was something that would still be gain

of function under any definition that it

was way more

spread and let's

see so the the bottom line is that uh

the Republicans were trying to make ay

out of you know insulting in public and

blaming him for it

all

um and let's

see and then I guess there were some

things that he represented as settled

science that were far from

settled anyway so everything about that

is exactly what you thought it would be

it's fouchy claiming he wasn't so bad

and Republicans saying you're twice as

bad as anybody

knows uh margerie Taylor green kept that

interesting I continue to enjoy the show

she puts

on there's a National Institute of

Health this American entity that I don't

understand this so maybe somebody can

help me apparently the National

Institute of

Health somehow has a deal where they can

get

royalties from drugs and drug

companies that they have some some

influence

on and the story sort of Skips the

important part so I don't know the

important part of the story I'll tell

you what I know apparently there were

seven somebody figured out there are 710

million in royalties during the pandemic

that went I don't know all or some

to uh American officials in the National

Institute of

Health here's the part I don't

know why did they get

royalties wait

what can anybody explain how that came

about what what was the path by which

people who were part of some American

Institution that has some influence over

what we do in health that they're

getting paid by the drug

companies paid indirectly through the

royalties how in the world did that ever

come about in the first

place like we're we're arguing that it

that this shouldn't

happen but shouldn't we be

arguing how did it happen in the first

place like what what mechanism even

allowed that to even be a possibility

it's craziest story there's something

about it I don't know and it's not in

the news so the most important part

seems to be missing how'd that happen in

the first

place I don't

know well ladies and

gentlemen that concludes my comments for

today um I think the biggest story of

the day is that you're going to see more

people who don't have bosses don't have

bosses say that they're going to go

Trump and I think the the impetus is

that with great power comes great

responsibility what I mean by that is if

you're a bill lman or you're you're head

of one of these big companies David

Sachs chamoth the people who have that

much influence both because they have

money but they're in positions where

people listens to their

opinions uh they have great

power and they're sitting on the

sidelines or had been sitting on the

sidelines just saying oh let me let me

do my business thing and make my money

and take care of my family and you guys

handle the

politics but now you see what

happens if the

adults leave the politicians to politics

it doesn't turn into an adult game

anymore it turns into this weird

criminal looking I don't know what it is

so you're seeing the adults re-enter the

room they're the people who have the

power but until now had chosen to use it

you know for capitalism and family

reasons and now they realize that with

that great power comes great

responsibility do you think that David

Sachs wants to be in politics like wants

to be doing this every day I don't know

because I'm not a mind reader but

probably

not probably would rather be doing

almost anything else but with great

power comes great responsibility and by

the way that's exactly what drives me

I don't know if you knew

that but the thing that drives me is the

Spider-Man problem I'm well aware that I

have the ability to get attention that

other people don't have it's just a

power now it's because of my job and you

know something about you know learning

how to deal in the public

realm but it is what it is and so if if

I've got this power I feel I feel the

pull I feel that I have to do do

something personally even if it's hard

even if it's

dangerous because I have the

power let me give you an example uh

you're a man and a woman you're married

and uh a crazy guy comes running at you

with I don't know knife or a club or

something uh what do you do

instantly well if you're like most

people instantly the woman backs up and

the man stands between the As salant and

the woman and does whatever he needs to

do it might not work out well but he's

going to do it anyway why why does that

why do both the woman and the man

automatically know without any

conversation that she needs to back the

up and he needs to go

forward it's because with gray power

comes responsibility if the woman could

beat that as salent well you do it the

other way but she can't

her odds are low and you know we also

want to protect female entities that can

create babies and be mothers and stuff

like that so there's there's a natural

impulse to protect women if you're a

man but I think that we're wired for

power will stay dormant until it's

called so there's there gigantic power

pockets in the United States that are d

because they're just doing their own

business you know they're doing great

things but it's their own business Elon

Musk would be a perfect example someone

doing amazing things and changing the

world in the business realm but I don't

think he wanted to be commenting on

politics I think he realized that the

the country was coming off the rails and

if he talked people would listen and he

probably knew that he can communicate

better than most people

and so he got drawn in it's the

Spider-Man problem so you're going to

watch the Spider-Man problem start just

it's going to be this big sucking sound

it's going to be sucking every person

who doesn't have a boss this is very

important doesn't have a boss uh you're

going to see more and more of them

coming into the

game and that will be the big I think

that's going to be the big story going

into the election is the the number of

power Pockets that came

online and that ladies and gentlemen is

all I have today so I'm going to say

some words to the uh locals subscribers

but if you're on X or YouTube or Rumble

I'm going to say bye to you now and uh

thanks for joining see you

tomorrow and I'll stall a little
