If it looks like I'm stalling to make sure everybody's here for the simultaneous sip, well that's exactly what I'm doing. It's called stalling. But I'm almost ready because everybody's pouring in.
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, because that's kind of what it is. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their smooth tiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass or a tankard or a canteen or a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
Ah, technology on point. Everything's working today. Well, let's give a little thanks for our experts, shall we? You know, experts get a bad rap, especially lately, but what would we do without them? Here's a case in point. Finally, after long last, long Covid has a definition now. That's what we needed because long Covid, everybody was all over the place. Like what is it? How do you identify it? How do you know you had it? You know, does it even exist? But finally the experts have come together and they've decided that the definition of long Covid is as follows. It has to happen after Covid, so it can't be before Covid. That seems to be built into the definition, right? So you can't get Covid before there was Covid. So the experts have clarified that it could only be long Covid if you've had Covid. Now that's a good first step, but it gets better. And it could be identified by any one of 200 symptoms that may come and go during the rest of your life.
So finally we have a little clarity. It's something that happened after you had Covid, any time in your life, and could include any one of 200 symptoms that may come and go for reasons you don't understand. And that's called long Covid. Now other people have called that various names. Old age. Old age, because that happens to me after Covid and I think I get about 200 symptoms. I get about 200 symptoms a day now, and that's just the first five minutes after I wake up. I'm like, oh my back. Oh, you know, that sort of thing. So it's probably must have some long Covid.
Companies are discovering that all their big AI projects that were going to save them money and change the nature of the world have hit what some call the trough of disillusionment, and that it's not really changing the world the way they thought. And a lot of projects are stalled. I could have told you that. The reason I could have told you that is I tried several projects myself. I tried to use AI to do a bunch of things that would be completely relevant to what I do for a living. And I thought, man, I'm going to be the first one. I'm going to be the one who's the first cartoonist to use AI in like a real cool way that's really going to impress you. I can't get a thing to work. It's fun to talk to it and use it for education and stuff, but to actually turn it into a tool that I can use in my work? Nope. No luck at all.
I do hear that there's some upgrades to the DALL-E AI system, which I've been trying to build an agent in, and ran into some obstacles in terms of what it could or could not do. But the company was very responsive and they say in a week or so they're going to have a bunch of fixes and whatever so that I can get it to do what I want. So I'm open-minded about it maybe, but I'll let you know. So far AI, because it gives unreliable answers to things, there's just a whole host of things you thought it would do that it can't ever do. Because if you can't know that it will give you the right answer, what is it? It's like a person you have a conversation with. If you have a conversation with somebody and they give you some wrong fact, you know, we kind of discount that as that's the way conversations go. But if you're asking for data and it sometimes just gives you the wrong data and you don't know why and you can't fix it, that doesn't work at all.
So I do think AI is going to be as big as everybody says, but there's probably a gigantic percentage of it that will never work, at least during using the LLM technology. It might work in some future iteration but not now.
Well, I was watching The Five last night and I saw a story. There's a new trend, sort of non-obvious, and as the chyron read on The Five, women are falling for guys who look like cartoon mice, which they refer to as hot rodent men. So men who have that vibe of looking sort of roughly like a rat are becoming a little bit more popular now. This was good news for me. My patience has finally paid off and it looks like it's my time to shine. So good luck to the rest of you handsome-looking people because your day came and went. No, it's time for the rat-faced people to rise and I might be their leader. I might be.
But not just that. Let's look at the other science. There's a study from Japan that says if you eat small fish whole, like the entire fish, bones and all, it's really really good for your health because apparently all those bones and things are good for you. Now I'm not super surprised about that because yesterday I was watching a video of a slow-motion capture by what looked like a golden eagle catching a fish and popping it in his mouth and eating it whole. And I thought to myself, hey, that golden eagle isn't even chewing. It's actually just going and swallowing a fish whole. And so I said to myself, I wonder if the whole fish is healthy. Apparently it is. Apparently there's not much better you could do than eat a whole fish.
But here's the question I ask. Why is it so consistent that if there's something good for you, it's also horrible to do? Like could they come up with anything worse? Like I expect tomorrow will be, and science has discovered that if you can shove 10 pine cones up your own ass you will add 10 years to your life. And I'll be like, but I don't want to shove pine cones up my ass. That sounds really painful. And people will say, well I mean if you don't care about your health you can do it your way. No, now I got to eat a whole fish and shove pine cones up my ass. Everything's too hard.
Well here's a surprising result of a study. Thanks to science we have determined, remember you used to hear from women that if only men would help with the housework after they got home from working all day, that then they'd want to have more sex with them. And so we were told that the sexiest thing you could do then was do the dishes and vacuum while your wife is watching. And a lot of you said, finally I've cracked the code. All I have to do is a little extra dusting, put this apron on, cook some food, clean up after myself, take care of the kids, and I'm going to get some super action. Wow, that's what I was told for probably 20 years, 30 years.
Well a new study says, turns out that helping with the housework gets you less sex for heterosexual married partners. Yeah, so the man will get less sex and I guess that means that the woman would get less sex if everything's working out the way it should. So if you want to do well with the ladies you should look more like a rat-faced boy and less like some kind of handsome thing. Nobody wants that. So look like a rat-faced person. You want to not help with the housework. That appears to be good for your sex life. And I'd like to add my own little twist. You'll see this from S as well. Shaquille O'Neal said this the other day in a video. Never share your feelings. No, no. Did you ever fall for that trap? How many of you have ever fallen for the trap of sharing your feelings? How'd that work out?
So here's my advice to you. Look like a rat-faced boy. Don't communicate with your lover. And whatever you do, don't help out around the house. And you will be amazed how much poontang you're getting. So there's your relationship advice from the single guy who's not in a relationship. And if that doesn't frighten you, it should.
There's a startup in India that printed a rocket engine in 72 hours using a 3D printer. They printed a rocket ship and then sent the rocket up and it worked. They printed a rocket ship or rocket engine. They printed it in 72 hours. That's amazing. That's like one of the most impressive technology things I've ever heard of in my life.
Now let's take it to the next level. If you can 3D print something as sensitive and powerful as a rocket engine, how far are we from 3D printing a small modular nuclear reactor? Suddenly, if you could get rid of the burdensome regulations but not the ones you need, if you get rid of regulations and you could locate the new reactors let's say where there are already nuclear power plants, and you could keep the waste there, which is the new way they do it in some cases, they can reuse the waste for fuel for other types of reactors. If you could do all that and then you could have a standardized design that's approved by the government and all the regulatory agencies, and your biggest problem was actually manufacturing, you might be able to 3D print it. Imagine if you could 3D print a pre-approved known model of a small modular nuclear reactor.
Now you might say to yourself, I don't want to be the first one to live next to the 3D printed nuclear reactor. But I would have said that about going up in a rocket. If they can make it safe enough for a rocket, I don't know, seems like they might be able to make it safe enough for a nuke with a little extra work maybe. That's one of those boring little stories that might be like one of the biggest deals in the whole universe. Could be.
Meanwhile there's a Turkish student who is trying to pass some difficult entrance exam and cleverly used a hidden camera and a button that would look at the test and it would use AI to solve the test questions and then read it into an earpiece. So the guy was listening to the answers while the button was looking at the test and he got caught. Now I feel like I would have wanted to hire that guy on the spot because if his system worked it's kind of impressive. It's like, huh, if you can do that, yeah I'd like you to work for me anyway. It seems like there's going to be a lot more of that type of cheating.
Well the New York Times is reportedly, they got rid of like nine out of the 16 of their artists who were on staff and they did it because, some say it's because of AI but I think the New York Times says no no it's just cost cutting. But the union for the workers at the New York Times said that firing artists and replacing them with AI, the union said and I quote, "I thought we were better than this." Better than this? Is the union actually a communist organization? What do they mean by better? I thought better was companies hire people when they need people and they fire people when they don't need people. And it's called capitalism. It's called capitalism. That would be the system that we're living under, allegedly. But according to the union who apparently are communists, "I thought we were better than this." Better than what? Capitalism? If you're better than capitalism, what's the name of that? What are you calling the thing that's better than hiring and firing depending on the business's needs? What's better than that? Communism? I can't think of anything else they'd be talking about. So apparently the employees of the New York Times are literally communists or socialists or something but they don't understand this whole capitalism thing.
Well here's the good news and bad news. Let's see if you could have predicted this. If you haven't read the story I want to see how long it takes you to predict the ending of this news event. It involves California. So put on your California thinking cap. Involves the drought which California had for years which is now solved. It turns out that California is just flush with water, got plenty of water. At the same time they're going to deny farmers, they're going to cut a lot of the farmers back to only 40% of the federal water they were supposed to get. I guess there's federal water and other water but it'll be a major pullback in the water. Why? All right it's California and there's plenty of water. Plenty of water. Everybody agrees. But the farmers will not be allowed to get nearly as much water as they need. Why would that be? You tell me. It's California. Oh let me guess. Oh let me fill you in. It's because of an endangered fish. There's a problem with an endangered fish. Yep. So is that the most California thing you've ever heard in your life?
Years ago before I built the house that I'm living in right now I thought I was going to build it in a different place. I bought several acres down the road and when I went to look into building on it turns out they had maybe some endangered fish in the little creek that was dry most of the time or frogs or something. I forget what it was but I've actually been limited from building for a fish or a frog that nobody has ever seen. And by the way there weren't any there. It just looked like a place that might have some endangered fish or something. It's actually insane trying to get anything built in California. I don't recommend it by the way. I wouldn't do it at all. But anyway so this endangered fish, I don't know how endangered it is or how important it is because frankly I've never missed that fish. But apparently you could eat that fish whole and it would be really good for you. But don't. It's an endangered fish. So even though it'd be very healthy to eat a whole one, don't do that. It's endangered.
So what are the farmers going to do? Well I don't know but the only thing I can think of is if the farmers can't get water for their crops they might be able to get the huge masses of illegal migrants to urinate on them. I mean I don't know if that would help but it's better than nothing, right? That's just my idea.
All right, the Oakland reparations committee it wants five million. And you're going to say well that's not nearly as much as I thought. Oakland's a pretty big place and the reparations committee is only asking for five million. And I saw that and I thought, huh that might actually be something we could talk about because you know we wouldn't miss five million in our taxes. And then I read it more carefully. No they don't. The reparations committee in Oakland, they don't want five million for reparations. They want five million from taxpayers to come up with a plan for the reparations. Five million to work on a plan.
Now as a person who lives in the Oakland area what should I do to avoid being penalized for being white by having to pay for some reparation that I had nothing to do with? What should I do? Should I get the hell out of there? Can we be adults for like a minute? I didn't create the system. I mean I'm just in the system. It's not my fault if the system makes it more expensive to live in a state where there is a big black population. You should get out of there. Or at least it should be one of your factors. If you live anywhere in a place where DEI is a big emphasis you should get the hell out of there if you're white or Asian American. You should get out of there because you don't have any options. You can't fight it and why would you stay where things are bad? The number one thing that I teach people about career success is if you can't do it where you are, get the hell out of there. It's the very first thing I did when I graduated college because my hometown was a tiny little town with no real industry or anything like that except tourism. And the first thing I did is moved to the California Bay Area before even knowing what I'd do for my life because you have to go where the opportunity is. So at the moment California is becoming kind of a hellhole. I wouldn't recommend anybody move to it. It's just really hard to move out of it and believe me I've been doing a lot of research. They've got these clawback provisions. They can tax you even if you leave. You know demonstrating that you really left. If you visit a lot it's going to be a problem. Yeah California is just a piece of shit right now but it has lovely weather and if you can afford it that part's great.
Well Stanford had this weird disinformation research center which turned out to be just a place where the government would work with these, I don't want to call them fakes but they were obviously people working on the censorship industrial complex. And they just closed down because they had so much heat. But I don't trust it. Do you think that just because this prominent censorship entity got closed down, do you think that they're not going to do any censoring? I assume they just got more clever about it. Don't we assume that outside of X the platforms are all doing the same kind of bad stuff, maybe just more cleverly? So in other words instead of kicking somebody off a platform maybe just nobody sees their posts. I haven't heard as much complaining about it this year, have you? It used to be that it was just so obvious the censorship that it was just continuous complaining because you couldn't miss it. It was everywhere. But I really haven't heard it so far this cycle. Does that suggest that we're actually getting some kind of control over that or we just don't know where it is now?
See what I fear is that it's just a whack-a-mole situation and we whacked this Stanford disinformation research center, I mean collectively we whacked it, but it doesn't mean it didn't just pop up somewhere else under a different name. I assume that's what's happening.
All right the Supreme Court struck down the Trump-era ban on bump stocks. I guess so if it's not a ban you can have them now. That was a weird one because you wouldn't expect anybody Trump-related to want to ban anything gun-related. But if you don't follow gun stuff the so-called bump stocks would turn your gun into a wildly inaccurate instrument. And so the gun people said who the hell would want to use a bump stock if it just makes your gun less accurate? Like the one and only time you'd use it would be that Vegas shooting when you're shooting into a gigantic crowd and accuracy didn't really matter because you weren't aiming at a specific person anyway. But short of that I'm told that if you had a handgun and went into someplace with bad intentions and just carefully shot you would do more damage than a bump stock that's just going to be firing bullets into the ceiling as much as anything else. So I don't think it matters. This bump stock thing is such a small little thing. Makes no difference to anybody I don't think.
All right I continue to ask the question of why voting machines exist if they're not cheaper or more secure or making us feel more credible and they're not faster. Why? There was a gentleman I saw on social media here who asked his local town to explain why they use machines and they said something about them being more efficient or countable or something. Clearly not true. Clearly not true. So why do we have them? Now other people have said that well you know if it produces paper you can always double check because you just look at the paper. But apparently there are cases where it doesn't produce paper and there you know we know this. Puerto Rico had just all kinds of trouble with their voting machines and I guess they didn't produce paper. RFK Jr. is basically saying you can't trust the voting machines unless it creates paper. So he would do legislation that says you can keep your voting machine but it's got to create a piece of paper so we can check to see if it was real. Is that enough? I don't know. I don't know.
But let's check in with the Rasmussen folks who like to keep us updated on various claims of irregularity in voting from 2020. So here's what we believe we know from the Maricopa County, one of the most questioned voting election results in 2020. Here's what we know. There was only one legal type of paper that could be used and there are credible allegations that there were up to 10 different types found. Now do you know why there's only one type of paper that's approved for an election in a given area? Does anybody know why? They say you can only use one piece of paper. My first thought was oh it's because they know that this kind of paper is accepted by the machines. That was my first thought. You want to make sure it can be processed through the machines when they count. You don't want any cheap paper that gets caught in the machines. But it turns out that's not really the reason. That's maybe one of the reasons they make sure that the paper works. But the other reason is to make sure that there's no fraud. Do you know how they can detect the fraud if somebody used the wrong paper? It's a fraud detection. Now for some reason that didn't immediately occur to me. I just assumed it was a functional question and that if they used other paper but the machines accepted it I was thinking well that's not a big problem is it? What's the problem? So they ran into paper. Some people didn't get the memo. They just used whatever paper was available. It worked fine. No problem. But then once you realize that the limitation of the paper is a major way that they prevent fraud and then you see that there were credible reports of 10 different papers used that would pretty much be guaranteed fraud if you could prove this is true. It's hard to imagine it would be anything but exactly what it looks like.
Now is it proven? I don't know because it's hard to believe anything in the election domain because so many things are found not to be true. But that claim still stands meaning that no court has said it's not true. There's no court that said no that didn't happen. So the claim is out there. Whatever status it is, it's out there.
Here's another one. Within Maricopa County there was one legal software version only, one that was legal, but two versions and a compiler were found. The compiler was capable of creating executable files and then deleting them without detection. But there is some evidence that it did so three times during the election. What? Why is your compiler creating and executing files and then deleting them? What would be the legal reason to do that? I don't know. Maybe there is some legal reason. You know anything, nothing would surprise me at this point. But certainly everything about that looks fraudulent. But remember don't get fooled by Kraken. There are tons of times since 2020 that both you and I probably heard a report and you said to yourself oh this time that's a smoking gun. Then maybe it turned out not to be. So you should always keep a real real real open mind about any specific claims. But I take the argument from specific claims to the general. The general is what are the odds that this is the only non-corrupt system in the United States? I'd say zero. Just common sense. And if you say well prove it then I'll say well how about I don't have to prove it? How about I just show you that every single other system can be hacked and has been. And if anything that can be gamed is being gamed everywhere all the time that's the way the world works. So the fact that you didn't catch it probably doesn't mean anything because people presumably would figure out how not to get caught. So I don't have any proof that there's any kind of election irregularity. All I have is the common sense that of course it is. Of course it is. Why would it be true if it doesn't need to be and somebody can benefit from faking it? It seems unlikely that it's a fair system.
You know that President Trump floated the idea of having more tariffs on incoming products from other countries and getting rid of the income tax. And I saw a long post by Balaji Srinivasan in which he's explaining there's actually a historical precedent because apparently before the income tax that was actually a big way that the United States funded itself. And it's actually possible that we could do it. But as Balaji points out it probably would take 10 years of economic pain like we haven't experienced since maybe the Great Depression. So I mean he didn't say the Great Depression part. I just added that myself. It's just it would be very disruptive to make that kind of a change but it's not impossible and it has some benefits. And the benefits are that it would make the country run like a company that's trying to make money. So we would try to sell our goods to other people and make more money than the other people were making by selling to us basically. So we would charge them for incoming stuff so their stuff was more expensive which would make it more profitable to build it internally. And then manufacturing could move back to America because the tariffs would make it expensive to buy things from other places.
Now if you add robots plus 3D printing and some tariffs you could pretty easily imagine the manufacturing coming back to America first slowly and then quickly, right? Once we get all the transportation and the electrical and everything worked out it might happen quickly after it goes slowly for a while. Anyway the biggest problem is that our current process as Balaji points out is that we just print money when we want to and it wouldn't work if you had a tariff. If you had a tariff you'd only have that money. But if you can just print money suddenly oh here's another trillion dollars. So how do you tell yourself to stop printing money just because the system is collapsing if you keep doing it? Hasn't stopped us yet. So yeah it's probably impossible from a bureaucratic point of view.
Here's a question I have. How big are the election whistleblower rewards this year? And don't tell me there aren't any because that would be crazy. Are you telling me that it's not obvious that if you were to find some trouble in 2024 and if you reported it and let's say if it's big enough that it would make a difference there's no reward? Here's why you need a whistleblower reward in advance. All right so Lara Trump, you should be listening to this. There should be, it should be known in advance that there will be a huge amount of money to any Democrat or anybody else who comes up with the goods like an actual prosecutable large form of fraud. Here's why you want to create a situation where people who have to get other people involved with their fraud, which probably would be the case if anybody was doing anything. Yeah it would take some insiders. You know you need somebody to drive a truck maybe, somebody to unlock a door, somebody to turn the other way. So probably any form of election cheating, hypothetically again I'm not aware of any proven forms in 2020 but hypothetically if someone was planning an op of that size other people would be involved. And if you had a big enough reward you can guarantee that the people who were involved in it would have to kill all the other people involved to avoid the whistleblower.
Imagine putting a plot together. All right the five of us are going to do this plot and we're going to cheat in the election. But when it's done any one of the five of us can go collect a million dollars just by turning in the other four. So what are you going to do? Are you going to be part of that plot or are you going to say yes and make sure you're the first one to turn it in? Because if you're not the first one to go whistleblower the first person gets a million dollars and you get jail time. So what would you do? Well the first thing is it would create a situation where the leader of the plot would have to murder all the underlings after the plot was executed because you couldn't have somebody out there who could make a million dollars. And before they were just driving a truck or they were the janitor that unlocked the door, right? You can't have somebody out there with like a million dollars to gain if they buck the system. So there should be a very large reward in advance that everybody knows about that says if you find some things it has to go through the court of course it have to be court confirmed. But if you don't have that it looks like hey you can give me $100 to open this door. I'll take it. Will you talk to anybody about it? Nah I'll just keep the $100. So you got to make it too expensive to cheat. You see where I'm going in this? Make it too expensive to cheat because somebody's going to drop a dime like too much to gain.
Well on the plus side remember I told you that Lara Trump seemed like the right person for the co-chair of the RNC because you needed somebody who had a predator mindset. And I'm going to say this in a positive way in case it sounded insulting. It's not meant to be. Lara Trump has predator written all over her. Do you agree with that? Let's put it this way. If you look at somebody like you know Adam Schiff you might be a little troll but he doesn't look like a predator. Yeah he looks like prey. In the wild he'd be the first one that the lion ate. But Laura Trump would be the lion, right? So she's got, I think she has all the qualifications that you need for somebody who's going to just really make it happen. And apparently she's put together a pretty major effort for poll watchers and watchdogs during the poll. Now that's the thing you were waiting for isn't it? Weren't you waiting to find out that the Republicans were actually going to do something for once? It turns out she is and it's pretty big and it probably will make a big difference because you don't have to have them everywhere. You just have to have them in the key places. So this is part of a theme of everything seems to be going Trump's way at the moment. We'll get into more Trump stuff but now that we know what could have happened it looks like the censorship machine is at least being wounded if not dismantled. It looks like the people who are going to watch the elections are going to watch it a lot more carefully. And by the way we still don't have an answer of why we use electronic counting machines. Nobody's even offered an explanation. How far do you think we can go into the election cycle without anybody anywhere offering a counterargument like oh yeah the machines are good? Because it's going to get more and more embarrassing the longer we go with nobody even trying to answer the question. And suppose somebody does answer the question even that's bad because why didn't the public know about any of that? Why is it we don't know why you're doing it? We should know that. Should be kind of transparent. We're doing it because maybe it's a good reason. Maybe.
Anyway you know if you ever heard that saying those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Sounded pretty smart when the first time you heard it. If I ignore history I'll fall into those same traps of the people in history so I better understand my history so I know what works and what doesn't work. Well that would make sense if history were real but we know that history is completely made up because we know that the current news is completely made up. What will the news say about the January 6 protest? They're already calling it an insurrection. No insurrection happened but that will be the news. And someday people will look at the history books and say hm that was a terrible insurrection back there in January 6. And it won't be real but it'll be history. So I'm updating that to those who ignore history are less misinformed. The more you know about history the dumber you get. So when I hear the historians especially the presidential historians weighing in as experts I think to myself your entire industry is built around you're actually analyzing the entrails of people who lied to you. You're not even looking at the history. You're looking at the entrails of the liars and telling me what you think will happen in the future. The dumbest thing ever.
So I wondered how many other old sayings were complete. So the whole thing about learning from history is ridiculous. Be yourself. Worst advice ever. Don't be yourself. That's a terrible idea. Figure out what would be a better version of yourself and try to work toward that. You're not done. You're not so good that being yourself is a good idea. You know what if you'd done that when you were 12 would you still be acting like a 12-year-old if you just thought that's how you were naturally? No. Don't act like yourself. Act like something useful. Act like something better than you. Maybe you'll become that person. How about follow your passion? We don't have to talk about that but we used to hear about that and now that's obviously. How about this big question about the Saudis not going to I don't know trade in US dollars and then our petrodollar domination will go away and the country will collapse. And I thought to myself I don't think anybody even knows what's going to happen. And as of today that's my current view looking at some expert opinions. Well it's probably not a big deal. So how many of you thought it was the end of the world and today you read the news and the experts like you know actually probably not that big a deal. How long have we been worrying about this being the collapse of the United States and then when it happens people go you know that's not the most important thing. So my current view is that there will just be adjustments and everything will work out.
You'd be surprised to find out that the Department of Justice who reports to Garland doesn't want to prosecute their boss for contempt. Huh. Bannon got prosecuted for contempt of Congress. Peter Navarro is still in jail for contempt of Congress. But when Garland is in contempt of Congress, no they're not going to prosecute it. Now the Republicans did a good job of forcing the hypocrites to out themselves so now we don't have to wonder. We don't have to wonder if there's two forms of justice, one for Republicans and one for Democrats. There it is. So your questions have been answered. There is a separate form of punishment for Republicans.
Well you heard a story that the House of Representatives passed some measure that would automatically register young men for the draft. Now the clarification is this. It was already the law that young men had to register for the draft. So this change is just doing it automatically. Is that bad news or good news? Well I'm pretty sure if a draft became necessary whether or not you registered would be less important than whether or not they had a way to find you. And they could always find you. So some number of people will not register for the draft because they didn't know they were supposed to. Just won't do it. They just didn't know it was important. Should they be in jail? Apparently it's jailable. Did you know that it's a felony to not register for the draft? How many of you didn't know that? So it could be a quarter of a million dollar fines, could be felony. But it's even more than that. Eventually when you age out of it and the statute of limitations wears off at that point you can't be jailed and you can't be fined. But apparently you are forever banned from working for the government or getting government financial help in a lot of things. And a lot of states have their own laws to punish you for not signing up. So if you make it automatic it's actually safer for the young men because then nobody's going to say hey you didn't sign up so now you have to go to jail. They'll say oh everybody signed up. It's automatic. Isn't that better?
So what you might have thought is oh my God instituting the draft is really just they took away a potential penalty for young men who for no fault of their own maybe didn't register. So it probably is just a net plus and nothing else. That's my guess. However is the timing suspicious? Recruitment is way down. We know that recruitment's in the toilet and it's hard to get qualified people to volunteer. And the Ukrainian war is heating up and people are talking about boots on the ground of at least Europeans. That's not much of a leap to think that maybe the United States is just sort of getting ready. Yeah just in case. Which isn't a bad idea for a country because it sends a signal to the other countries that we're serious. But here's the kicker. Why is it that only men would be drafted? We have a Democrat in power. Should they not be honest with their people? So I think the Democrats have to do one of two things. Either say we were lying all the time about you know the genders being basically equal to do everything. So really we were when it really matters we were just kidding. You're not equal. The men will do the fighting. You ladies stay home. They can't say that by the way. That's not my opinion. I'm just saying that what are they going to do? So they built a party that is pro woman can do everything. They need to be registered for the draft fully. So I don't think men should be registered for the draft unless women are. So long as we're living in a world in which everybody's the same. So I think women should worry about combat and worry about getting drafted. So I think the odds of women being drafted into the military under a Biden regime are nonzero. I'd give it an odds of maybe 20% that if Biden wins re-election the women will actually be drafted and that will be prepping for a European war. Now I would bet against it. You know I would bet with the 80% likelihood it wouldn't happen. But if I were a female voter and I knew there was really no chance that would happen under Trump but a 20% chance I would get drafted into the army and sent to Ukraine, I think that women need to be a little bit more informed that they're very close to being handed a gun and sent to Ukraine. They're very close. I don't think they know that. So it'd be nice if there were at least awareness that the possibility is there.
MSNBC the propaganda network is so funny. Like you know I always say I'm watching it for fun and I always think oh you think that's hyperbole? No I actually watch it for the laughs because they're so bad crazy. But really it's just propaganda. So they're just acting. But here's what they're trying to sell us. They're trying to sell us that their business leaders who of course don't give their names, anonymous sources. MSNBC's got some anonymous sources. Those are always reliable aren't they? And they said that they questioned Trump's mental fitness because he couldn't keep a thought straight and he would go in one direction and then go in another direction behind closed doors.
So here's what MSNBC is trying to sell their public and I'm not making this up. This is actually what they're trying to sell to their audience. That Biden looks dead in public but if you were to catch him privately, perfect. Trump is in public all the time doing these high level hard things like rallies and talking for an hour extemporaneously. And while he does look great in public, behind closed doors he's actually. So if you're an MSNBC audience they're literally trying to teach you that Biden is dead in public but behind closed doors just fine. And that Trump every day you see him he looks just fine but behind closed doors let me tell you he all falls apart behind those closed doors according to anonymous people who don't like him. And there even been saying that it's full projection and that the right leading media is becoming like North Korea. How can you watch Morning Joe and not think that the projection is in full form?
Well to counter that Chamath Palihapitiya, one of the wealthy investor VC types who was at the David Sachs event where Trump was there raising money in San Francisco. And he was talking recently on his podcast about the experience of meeting Trump personally. And what he came away with is he's definitely sharp in public and in private. He's pro-AI, doesn't want to overregulate it, and low taxes. Basically all the things the business people want to hear. He understands them all. That the tariff versus income tax is a pretty complicated thing which he apparently understands and is promoting at least floating as a possibility. And the other thing that Chamath said is that he's super funny and personable and charismatic. And you know he said that his experience of him in person was so different from his sort of bombastic public persona that nobody would even imagine it. That was exactly my experience. In person he's humble and polite and funny and charismatic like you could not like him more in person. Like he really has the whole package of you know how to work a crowd, how to work an individual. So Chamath came under this spell and he even said that Trump was making him laugh. So apparently he was looking at Chamath and his wife who was very attractive and he said wow you're a beautiful couple my goodness you're a beautiful couple. And then he turns to Chamath within hearing range of his beautiful wife he goes man you must be really rich. Now that's funny. It's funny that he said it in front of the guy's wife and even Chamath thought it was hilarious. Said his wife thought it was hilarious and they'll probably talk about it for the rest of their life. Now that's Trump right? That is exactly who he is in private. He's hilarious and he's very fun to talk to.
All right other stories. Everything's going Trump's way. A bunch of CEOs according to the Wall Street Journal the top CEOs are flocking to Trump. Well I don't know if they're flocking but apparently Trump has won over the major bank CEOs. You know the Jamie Dimon type. Doesn't mean they're necessarily voting for him but they do seem to think there's a Trump advantage to banking and business. So if you get the bankers you have the money people. But he also has the most important venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. And by the way pretty much all of them or all the ones who talk in public. I haven't heard any venture capitalist lately being pro Biden except one who looked bat crazy. So the reasonable ones that you know to be smart are pretty much all Trump at this point. Bill Ackman same thing and for all the right reasons. You know AI, crypto, regulation, taxes. It's exactly what you think. So they're all coming home.
Meanwhile even according to Rasmussen even Arizona looks like it's going to go to Trump when he narrowly lost it last time. If you add in the other candidates like RFK Jr. and Jill Stein whatever Trump has 41 to Biden's 37. And he's doing even better than Kari Lake is in her Senate race that's closer where she's just a little bit behind her challenger Ruben Gallego. So it's 44 compared to 41. So that's a closable gap. We'll see if she does because they're 10% undecided. Do you think the undecideds are really undecided if they vote? I feel like undecided is where you hide a pro-Trump vote because if you're pro Biden it's just safer to say it isn't it? Or it used to be. It's less safe now. But I think the 10% are likely to lean pro Kari Lake so she might have a little good luck if these numbers hold up. We'll see.
All right so here's the Trump update. Let's compare the Trump update to the Biden update. All right Trump is ahead in all the polls again so that's great. He's got the support of the most important people in business in the United States from Elon Musk through the bankers to the venture capitalists. They aren't just the business people in those entities. Those are the best business people, the smartest ones in all of those industries. It's kind of obvious now he has, to the chagrin of Democrats, he has basically pulled the Republican party together. I guess even Mitt Romney was in the group of people who met with Trump when he visited Capitol Hill. So even people who were very very anti-Trump before have softened up and coming around. People who said bad things about him right after January 6 have decided well maybe I took that too far you know. And you've seen that JD Vance. There are people who went hard at him and then later in the fullness of time and information when you know that wasn't exactly what it looked like was it.
So the other thing is that Trump is getting the support of men. The UFC I saw Tim Pool mention that Trump is getting the male vote. The Republicans I saw Greg Gutfeld mention it. I've seen it in other publications. It's now super super obvious that the Democrats are the party of women. The Republicans are the party of men. Not that there aren't you know men in the other and women in the other blah blah blah. It's just a trend not a universal. And Trump still is ahead on all major policy issues. I think if you took the top three they're all Trump. You know immigration, economy, Ukraine. It's all Trump. So that's Trump. So Trump basically won everything. And the only bad thing was somebody made up a new hoax that he insulted Wisconsin. An anonymous person said they were in the meeting and he insulted Wisconsin. And then when he was asked about it he just brushed it aside goes no there's high crime there. That's what I was saying. Now so that's it. So he was basically one little hoax that nobody cared about and all else went his way. Gigantically huge amount of money raising, a huge change in opinion about what people thought of all the lawfare. Everything's going his way. Everything.
Let's see how Biden's doing. Biden is seeking young influencers for his campaign which apparently is hurt by the fact that when you're trying to get TikTok influencers to back your campaign it doesn't work as well when you've just signed a bill to ban TikTok. That's right. So where Trump is brilliantly working the podcasts and raising gigantic amounts of money even from jail, Biden decided to use TikTok influencers and then ban TikTok. In other news he's continuing his world US embarrassment tour by wandering around like an animated statue in front of the other world leaders just in case you'd forgotten the contrast. So it's not bad enough that we show him wandering around like a dementia patient in the United States. No we had to put him on the stage where all the other world leaders appear to be functional even if you don't like their policies. They appear to be able to walk and talk and you see them up there and you say hey why is it we have the only leader in the G7 who can't walk and talk? So that's not ideal for the Biden team.
And the biggest question about Trump is whether the bad guys using lawfare will jail him before the election. But all smart people think he would win even from jail. Whereas Biden's biggest question is will he survive until election day or will he crumple into a pile of dust and the wind will blow it away before November 5th. So overall I would say that Trump's looking a little bit better. Winning all the polls, getting all the business support, winning men by a huge margin, favored on all the policies. But Biden is looking for TikTok influencers while banning TikTok. Idiot. Embarrassing the US around the world on camera so we can all watch it. And the biggest question is whether he's even healthy enough to survive until election day.
So what if he wins? I saw Greg Gutfeld ask this question. What if he wins? There's going to be some trouble. I don't recommend trouble. Yeah don't do anything. But how is the public going to accept that? It's just going to look like it's rigged. So there you go.
So it's all good for me because I'm one of those hot rodent men. Okay and the last thing is that the Secretary of State Blinken he said that the Kremlin is intensifying its hybrid attacks against NATO members. Now do you know what the hybrid attacks are? That would be like hacking and murdering people in suspicious ways. That's right. So do you believe when Tony Blinken says Russia's doing hacking and hurting the countries that are near Russia over there? How do they know it's Russian hackers? If I've taught you anything it's this. If somebody claims that Russian hackers broke into anything that's probably, I'm not saying that Russian hackers never have broken into anything. I'm just saying they'll never be able to prove it and it's always very convenient when it happens isn't it? Oh we're mad at Russia because of Ukraine and there's all these suspicious hacks. Well that must be Russia. No it might be but I would put zero credibility on any claim of Russia hacking. How about Russia hacking Hillary's emails? Nope I do not believe that that really happened in the real world. That looks like to me maybe I wouldn't say it's impossible but I think every claim of Russia hacking is in the really low credibility range no matter where it comes from. Even if the government says oh we've got tons of evidence can't show it to you but we got all the evidence. No don't believe it because Russia is just the scapegoat of scapegoats. So if somebody says hey we found a bunch of dead bodies we think it's Russia, uh maybe probably not.
The anti-semitic people on YouTube are just so animated every day. I have to deal with people telling me I don't understand history and if I did I would see the mass Jewish conspiracy. And I always ask I'm willing to listen to the argument so what do you got? And it's always nothing. So when I say okay well if you're making a claim what would be the evidence for that? Well Scott if you knew history. I go well okay why don't you point me to something. Well if you're not going to be educated. No just show me something. And it just disappears as soon as you ask for anything reliable or anything. So we're still talking about VP possibilities. Yeah TV heads are defending the Biden wandering around was not shown on mainstream TV. Yeah the people still watching mainstream TV are just lost. I'd love to see Trump say that. I'd love Trump to say you know you should lose all credibility in the mainstream press and you should look at at least the podcasters who are sort of the alternate news at this point. Yeah so is it the WEF that's controlling the world or is the Freemasons or is the gigantic Jewish conspiracy that you're all sure is happening but nobody has any information that they can share with me that would be not stupid. A lot of conspiracies. Well I don't know some of them might be true.
But that ladies and gentlemen concludes my Saturday amazing Coffee with Scott Adams. I'm going to say goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and X and talk to my beloved subscribers on Locals. If you're not subscribing to the Dilbert comic that's either on X by subscription or on Locals you missed that Dilbert is using the declining birth rate argument to try to get his date to sleep with him because they're going to need to increase the population of the Earth or we're all dead. It doesn't work out well for Dilbert as you might guess. And if you have not yet bought my book God's Debris The Complete Works that includes the first two books plus a new short story to complete the avatar arc you should because people are loving it. The reviews are crazy. It's a good gift book by the way and a great summer book. And or Reframe Your Brain is good too if you haven't. It's actually great if you haven't seen it. All right so that's it for me for the big platforms. I'm going to go talk to the Locals people right now.
H where is everybody today let's make sure I can see all my comments all right comments online looking good all our technology is working today if it looks like I'm stalling to make sure everybody's here for the simultaneous zip well that's exactly what I'm doing it's called stalling but I'm almost ready because everybody's pouring in good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams cuz that's kind of what it is and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their smooth tiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker CH d a canteen jug a flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dope mean head of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now ah technology on point everything's working today well let's uh let's give a little thank for our experts shall we you know experts get a bad rap especially lately but what would we do without them here's a case in point uh finally after long last Co long Co has a definition now that's what we needed because long Co everybody was all over the place like what is it how do you identify it how do you know you had it you know what does it even exist but finally the experts have come together and they've decided that the definition of long Co is as follows it has to happen after Co so it can't be before Co that seems to be built into the definition right so you can't get covid before there was covid so the experts have clarified that it could only be long Co if you've had Co now that's a good first step but it gets better and it could be identified by any one of 200 symptoms that may come and go during the rest of your life so finally we have a little Clarity is something that happened after you had Co any time in your life and could include any one of 200 symptoms that may come and go for reasons you don't understand and that's called long Co now other people have called that well various names uh old age old age cuz that happens to me after Co and I think I get about 200 symptoms I get about 200 symptoms a day now uh and that's just the first five minutes after I wake up I'm like Oh my back oh you know that sort of thing so it's probably uh must have some long Co um companies are discovering that all their big AI projects that were going to save the money and change the nature of the world have uh hit what some call the Troth of disillusionment and that it's not really changing the world the way they thought and a lot of projects are stalled um I could have told you that the reason I could have told you that is I tried several projects myself I tried to use AI to do a bunch of things that would be completely relevant to what I do for a living and I thought man I'm going to be the first one I I'm going to be the one who's the first cartoonist to to use AI in like a real cool way is really going to impress you I can't get a thing to work it it's fun to talk to it and use it for education and stuff but to actually turn it into a tool that you that I can use in my work nope no luck at all uh I do hear that there's some upgrades to the deli AI system which I've been trying to build an agent in and and ran into some obstacles in terms of what it could or could not do but the company was very responsive and they say in a week or so they're going to have a bunch of uh fixes and whatever so that I can get it to do what I want so I'm open-minded about it maybe but I'll let you know so far AI um because it's gives unreliable answers to things there's just a whole host of things you thought it would do that it can't ever do because if you can't if you can't know that it will give you the right answer what is it it's like a person you have a conversation with if you have a conversation with somebody and they give you some wrong fact you know we kind of discount that as that's the way conversations go but if you're asking for data and it sometimes just gives you the wrong data and you don't know why and you can't fix it uh that doesn't work at all so I do think AI is going to be as big as everybody says but there's probably a gigantic percentage of it that will never work at least during using the llm technology it might work in some future iteration but not now well I was watching the five last night and I saw a story there's a new trend uh sort of nonobvious uh and as the Chiron read um on the five women are falling for guys who look like cartoon mice which they they refer to as hot rodent men so men who have that Vibe of looking sort of roughly like a rat are becoming a little bit more popular now this was good news for me um my patience has finally paid off and it looks like it's my time to shine so good luck to the rest of you handsome looking people because your day came and went no it's time for the rat-faced people to rise and I might be their leader I might be but not just that let's look at the other science um there's a study from Japan that says if you eat small fish whole like the entire fish bones and all uh it's really really good for your health because apparently all those bones and things are are good for you now I'm not super surprised about that because yesterday I was watching a video of a slow motion capture by a looked like a Golden Eagle catching a fish and popping it in his mouth and eating a hole and I thought to myself hey that uh that that Golden Eagle isn't even chewing it's actually just going and like swallowing a fish hole and so I said to myself I wonder if the the whole fish is healthy apparently it is apparently there's not much more better you could do than eat a whole fish but here's the uh question I ask why is it so consistent that if there's something good for you it's also horrible to do like could they come up with anything worse like I expect tomorrow will be and science has discovered that if you can shove 10 pine cones up your own ass you will add 10 years to your life and I'll be like but I don't want to shove pine cones up my ass that sounds really painful and people will say well I mean if you don't care about your health you can do it your way no now I got to eat a whole fish and shove pine cones up my ass every everything's too hard well here's a surprising surprising result of a study thanks to science we have determined remember you used to hear from women that if only men would help with the housework after they got home from working all day that then they'd want to have more sex with them and so we were told that the sexiest thing you could do Ben was do the dishes and vacuum while your wife is watching and a lot of you said finally I've cracked the code all I have to do is a little extra dusting put this apron on cook some food clean up after myself take care of the kids and I'm going to get some to Super action wow that's what I was told for probably 20 years 30 years well in a new study says uh turns out that helping with the housework uh gets you less sex for heterosexual married Partners yeah so the man will get less sex and I guess that means that the woman would get less sex if everything's working out the way it should uh um so if you uh want to do well with the ladies you should look more like a rat-faced boy and less like some kind of handsome thing nobody wants that so look like a rat-faced person um you want to not help with the uh the hous work that appears to be good for your sex life and I'd like to add my own little twist um you'll see this from S as well Shaquille O'Neal said this the other day in a video never share your feelings no no did you ever fall for that trap how many of you have ever fallen for the Trap of sharing your feelings how'd that work out so here's my advice to you look like a rat-faced boy don't communicate with your lover and whatever you do don't help out around the house and uh you will be amazed how much punon Tang you're getting so there's your relationship advice from the single guy who's not in relationship and uh if that doesn't frighten you is should there's a startup in India that printed a rocket engine uh in 72 hours using a 3D printer they printed a rocket ship and then sent the rocket up and it worked they printed rocket ship or rocket engine they printed it in 72 hours that's amazing that's like one of the Imp most impressive technology things I've ever heard of in my life now let's take it to the next level if you can 3D print something as sensitive and Powerful as a rocket engine how far are we from 3D printing a small modular nuclear reactor suddenly suddenly if you could get rid of the you know burdensome regulations but not the ones you need if you get rid of regulations and you could Co you could locate the new reactors let's say where they're already nuclear power plants and you could keep the waste there which is the new way they do it in some cases they can reuse the waste for fuel for other types of reactors if you could do all that and then you could have a standardized design that's approved by the government and all the Regulatory Agencies and your biggest problem was actually manufacturing you might be able to 3D print it imagine if you could 3D print a preapproved no own model of a small modular nuclear reactor now you might say to yourself I don't want to be the first one to live next to the 3D printed nuclear reactor but I would have said that about going up at a rocket if they can make it safe enough for a rocket I don't know seems like they might be able to make it safe enough for a nuke with a little extra work maybe that's a that's one of those boring little stories that might be like one of the biggest deals in the whole universe could be meanwhile there's a Turkish student who is trying to pass some uh difficult entrance exam and uh cleverly used a hidden camera and a button that would look at the test and it would use AI to solve the test questions and then read it into a earpiece so the guy was listening to the answers while the the button was looking at the the test and he got caught now I feel like I would have wanted to hire that guy in the spot because because if his system worked it's kind of impressive it's like huh if you can do that yeah I'd like you to work for me anyway uh it seems like there's going to be a lot more of that that type of cheating well the New York Times is reportedly they got rid of like nine out of the 16 of their uh artists who were on staff and they did it because that some say it's because of AI but I think the New York Times says no no it's just cross cutting um but the uh the Union uh for the workers at the New York Times uh said that uh firing artists and replacing them with with AI that the the union said and I quote I thought we were better than this better than this is the union actually a communist organization what do they mean by better I thought better was companies um hire people when they need people and they fire people when they don't need people and it's called it's called it's called capitalism it's called capitalism that would be the system that we're living under allegedly but according to the union who apparently are communists I thought we were better than this better than what capitalism if you're better than capitalism what's the name of that what what are you calling the thing that's better than hiring and firing depending on the business's needs what's better than that communism I can't think of anything else they'd be talking about so apparently the employees of the New York Times are literally Communists or socialists or something but they don't understand this whole capitalism thing well here's the good news and bad news uh let's see if you could have predicted this uh if you haven't read the story I want to see how long it takes you to predict the ending of this this news event right so involves California so put on your California thinking cap involves the drought which California had had for years which is now solved it turns out that California is just flush with water got plenty of water at the same time they're going to deny Farmers uh they're going to cut a lot of the farmers back to only 40% of the federal water they were supposed to get I guess there's Federal water and other water but it'll be a major p pullback in the water why all right it's California and there's plenty of water plenty of water everybody agrees but the farmers will not be allowed to get uh nearly as much water as I need why would that be you tell me it's California oh let me guess oh let me fill you in it's because of an endangered fish there's a problem with an endangered fish yep so is that the most California thing you've ever heard in your life uh years ago before I built the house that I'm living in right now I thought I was going to build it in a different place I bought several Acres down the road and when I went to uh look into building on it turns out they had uh maybe some endangered fish in the Little Creek that was dry most of the time or frogs or something I forget what it was but I've actually been limited from building for a fish or a frog that nobody has ever seen and by the way there weren't any there it just looked like a place that might be some endangered fish or something like it's actually insane trying to get anything built in California I don't recommend it by the way I wouldn't do it at all um but anyway so this endangered fish I don't know how endangered it is or how important it is because frankly I've never I've never missed that fish um but apparently you could eat that fish whole and it would be really good for you uh but don't it's an endangered fish so even though it'd be very healthy to eat a whole don't do that it's endangered so what are the farmers going to do well I don't know but the only thing I can think of is if the Farmers can't get water for their crops uh they might be able to get the huge masses of illegal migrants uh to urinate on them I mean I don't know if that would help but it's better than nothing right that's just my idea all right the Oakland reparations committee it wants $5 million and you're going to say well that's that's not nearly as much as I thought Oakland's a pretty big place and the reparations committee is only asking for $5 million and I I saw that and I thought huh that might actually be something we could talk about because you know we wouldn't miss $5 million in our our taxes and then I read it more carefully no they don't the reparations Committee in Oakland they don't want $5 million for reparations they want $5 million from taxpayers to come up with a plan for the reparations 5 million to work on a plan now as a person who lives in the Oakland area what should I do to avoid uh being penalized for being white by having to pay for some reparation that I had nothing to do with what should I do should I get the out of there can can we be adults for like a minute I didn't create the system I mean I'm just in the system it's not my fault if the system makes it more expensive to live in a state where there is a big black population you should get out of there or at least it should be one of your factors if you live anywhere in a place where Dei is a big emphasis you should get the out of there if you're white or Asian American you should get out of there because you don't have any options you can't fight it and why would you stay where things are bad the number one thing that I teach people about Career Success is if you can't do it where you are get the out of there it's the very first thing I did when I graduated college cuz my hometown was a tiny little town with you know no real industry or anything like that except tourism and the first thing I did is moved to the California Bay Area before even knowing what I'd do for my life because you have to go where the opportunity is so at the moment California is becoming kind of a hell hole I wouldn't recommend anybody move to it it's just really hard to move out of it and believe me I've been doing a lot of research they've got these clawback Provisions they can tax you even if you leave you know demonstrating that you really left if you if you visit a lot it's going to be problem yeah California is just a piece of right now but it has lovely weather and if you can afford it that part's great well the uh Stanford had this weird disinformation Research Center which turned out to be just a place where the government would work with these I don't want to call them fakes but they were obviously people working on the censorship industrial complex and they just closed down because they had so much heat but I don't trust it do do you think that just because this prominent censorship entity got closed down do you do you think do you think that they're not going to do any sensoring I assume they just got more clever about it don't we assume that outside of X the platforms are all doing the same same kind of bad stuff maybe just more cleverly so in other words instead of kicking somebody off a platform maybe just nobody sees their posts I haven't hear I haven't heard as much complaining about it this year have you it used to be that it was just so obvious uh the censorship that it was just continuous complaining because you couldn't miss it it was everywhere but I really haven't heard it so far the cycle does that suggest that we're actually getting some kind of control over that or we just don't know where it is now see what I what I fear is that it's just a whacka mole situation and we whacked this Stanford disinformation Research Center I mean collectively we whacked it but it doesn't mean it didn't just pop up somewhere else under a different name I assume that's what's happening all right the U Supreme Court struck down the Trump uh era ban on bump stocks I guess so if it's not a ban you can have them now that was a weird one because you wouldn't expect anybody Trump related to want to ban anything gun related but if you don't follow gun stuff the so-called bump stocks would turn your gun into a wildly inaccurate instrument and so the gun people said who the hell would want to use a bump stock if it just makes your gun less accurate like the the one and only time you'd use it would be that you know Vegas shooting when you're shooting into a gigantic crowd and accuracy didn't really matter because you weren't aiming at a specific person anyway but short of that I'm told that if you you know had a handgun and went into someplace with bad intentions and just carefully shot you would do more damage than a bump that's just going to be firing bullets into the ceiling as much as the anything else so I don't think it matters these this bump stock thing is is such a small little thing makes no difference to anybody I don't think all right I continue to ask the question of why voting machines exist if they're not cheaper or more secure or making us feel more credible and they're not faster why there was a gentleman I saw on social media here who asked his local town to explain why they use machines and they said something about them being more efficient to R able or something clearly not true clearly not true so why do we have them now other people have said that uh well you know if it produces paper you can always be you can always double check because you just look at the paper but apparently there are cases where it doesn't produce paper and there you know we know this PTO Rico had just all kinds of trouble with their voting machines and I guess they didn't produce paper RFK Jr is basically saying you can't trust the voting machines and unless it unless it creates paper so he would do legislation that says you can keep your voting machine but it's got to create a piece of paper so we can check to see if it was real is that enough I don't know I don't know but let's check in with the rasmuson folks who like to keep us updated on various claims of irregularity in voting from 2020 so here's what we believe we know from the mar Maricopa County one of the most question uh voting election results in 2020 here's what we know there was only one legal type of paper that could be used and there are credible uh allegations that there were up to 10 different types found now do you know why there's only one uh one type of paper that's approved for an election in a in a given area does anybody know why they say you can only use one piece of paper my first thought was oh it's because they know that this kind of paper is accepted by the machines that was my first thought you you want to make sure it can be processed through the machines when they count you don't want any cheap paper that gets caught in the machines but it turns out that's not really the reason that's maybe one of the reasons they make sure that the paper works but the other reason is to make sure that there's no fraud do you know how they can detect the fraud if somebody use the wrong paper it's a fraud detection now for some reason that didn't immediately occur to me I just assumed it was a functional question and that if they used other paper but the machines accepted it I was thinking well that's not big problem is it what's the problem so they ran into paper some people didn't get the memo they just use whatever paper was available it worked fine no problem but then once you realize that the limitation of the paper is a major way that they prevent fraud and then you see that there were credible reports of 10 different papers used that would pretty much be guaranteed fraud if you could prove this is true it's hard to imagine it would be anything but exactly what it looks like now is it proven I don't know because it's hard to believe anything in the election domain because so many things are found not to be true so but that claim still stands meaning that no court has said it's not true there's no court that said no that didn't happen so the claim is out there what whatever status it is it's out there here's another one uh within Maricopa County there was one legal software version only one that was legal but two versions uh and a compiler were found the compiler was capable of creating executable files and then deleting them without detection but there is some some evidence that it did is did so three times during the election what why is your compiler creating and executing files and then deleting them what what would be the legal reason to do that I don't know maybe there is some legal reason you know anything anything nothing would surprise me at this point but uh certainly everything about that looks fraudulent but remember don't get fooled by Krakens there there are tons of times since 2020 that uh both you and I probably heard a report and you said to yourself oh this time that's a Smoking Gun then maybe it turned out not to be so you should always keep a real real real open mind about any specific claims but I take the argument from specific claims to the general the general is what are the odds that this is the only non-corrupt system in the United States I'd say zero just common sense and and if you say We'll prove it then I'll say well how about I don't have to prove it how about I just show you that every single other system can be hacked and has been and if every if anything that can be gamed is being gamed everywhere all the time that's the way the world works so the fact that you didn't catch it probably doesn't mean anything because people presumably would figure out how not to get caught so I don't have any proof that there's any kind of election irregularity all I have is the common sense that of course it is of course it is why why would it be true if it doesn't need to be and somebody can benefit from Faking it it seems unlikely that it's a fair system um you know that President Trump floated the idea of having a uh having more tariffs on incoming products from other countries and getting rid of the income tax and I saw a a long post by BAGI sh nasan in which he's explaining there's actually there's an historical presedent because apparently before the income tax that was actually a big way that the United States funded itself and it's actually possible that we could do it uh but as BAGI points out it probably would take 10 years of economic pain like we haven't experienced since maybe the Great Depression so I mean he didn't say the Great Depression part I just added that myself it's just it would be very disruptive to make that kind of a change but it's not impossible and it has some benefits and the benefits are that it would make the country run like a it would make the country run like a company that's trying to make money so we would try to sell our Goods to other people and make more money than uh than the other people were making by selling to us basically so we would charge them for incoming stuff so their stuff was more expensive which would make it more profitable to build it internally and then manufacturing could move back to America because the tariffs would make it expensive to buy things from other places now if you add robots plus 3D printing and some tariffs you could pretty easily imagine the manufacturing coming back to America first slowly and then quickly right once we get all the transportation and the electrical and everything worked out it might happen quickly after it goes slowly for a while anyway the biggest problem is that our current process as baji points out is that we just print money when we want to and it wouldn't work if you had a tariff if you had a tariff you'd have you'd only have that money but if you can just print money suddenly oh here's another trillion dollars so how do you how do you tell yourself to stop printing money just because the system is collapsing if you keep doing it hasn't stopped us yet so yeah it's probably impossible from a bureaucratic point of view here's a question I have how big are the election whistleblower rewards uh this year and don't tell me there aren't any because that would be crazy are are we are you telling me that it's not obvious that if you were to find some trouble in 2024 and if you reported it and let's say if it's big enough that it would make a difference there's no re reward here's why you need a whistleblower reward in advance all right so Lura Trump um you should be listening to this there should be it should be known in advance that there will be a huge amount of money to any Democrat or anybody else who comes up with the goods like an actual prosecutable large form of fraud here's why you want to create a situation where people who have to get other people involved with their fraud which probably would be the case if anybody was doing anything yeah it would take some insiders you know you need somebody to drive a truck maybe somebody to unlock a door somebody to turn the other way so probably any form of election cheating hypothetically again I'm not aware of any proven um forms in 2020 but hypothetically if someone was planning an OP of that size other people would be involved and if you had a big enough reward you can guarantee that the people who were involved in it would have to kill all the other people involved to avoid The Whistleblower imagine putting a plot together all right the five of us are going to do this plot and we're going to cheat in the election and uh but when it's done any one of the five of us can go collect a million dollars just by turning in the other four so what are you going to do are you going to be part of that plot or are you going to say yes and make sure you're the first one to turn it in because if you're not the first one to go whistleblower the first person gets a million dollars and you get jail time so what would you do well the first thing is it would create a situation where the leader of the plot would have to murder all the underlings after the plot was executed because you couldn't have somebody out there who could make a million dollars and before they were just driving a truck or they were the janitor that unlocked the door right you can't have somebody out there with like a million dollars to gain if they Buck the system so there should be a very large award reward in advance that everybody knows about that says if you find some things it has to go through the court of course it have to be Court uh Court uh confirmed but if you don't have that it looks like hey you can give me $100 to open this door I'll take it will you talk to anybody about it nah I'll just keep the $100 so you got to make it too expensive to cheat you see where I'm going in this make it too expensive to cheat because somebody's going to drop a dime like too much to gain well on the plus side remember I told you that Lara Trump seemed like the right person for the co-chair of the RNC because you needed somebody who had a predator mindset and I'm going to say this in a positive way if in case it sounded insulting it's not meant to be Laura Trump has Predator written all over her do you would you agree with that let's put it this way um if you look at somebody like uh you know Adam Chef you might be an a little troll but he doesn't look like a predator yeah he looks like prey in the wild he'd be the first one that the lion ate but but Laura Trump would be the lion right so she's got I think she has all the qualifications that you need for somebody who's going to just really make it happen and apparently she's put together a pretty major effort for poll Watchers and Watchdogs during the poll now that's the thing you were waiting for isn't it weren't you waiting to find out that the Republicans were actually going to do something for once it turns out she is and it's pretty big and it probably will make a big difference because you don't have to have them everywhere you just have to have them in the key places so uh this is part of a theme of everything seems to be going Trump's way at the moment we'll get into more Trump stuff but now that that we know what could have happened it looks like the censorship machine is at least being wounded if not dismantled it looks like the people who are going to watch the elections going to watch it a lot more carefully and by the way we still don't have an answer of why we use electronic counting machines nobody's even offered an explanation how far do you think we can go into the election cycle without anybody anybody anywhere offering a counterarguments like oh yeah the machines are good because it's going to get more and more embarrassing the longer we go with nobody even trying to answer the question and and suppose somebody does answer the question even that's bad because why didn't the public know about any of that why why is it we don't know why you're doing it we should know that should be kind of transparent we're doing it because maybe it's a good reason Maybe anyway um you know if you ever heard that saying those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it sounded pretty smart when the first time you heard it h if I ignore history I I'll fall into those same traps of the people in history so I better understand my history so I I know what works and what doesn't work well that would make sense if history were real but we know the history is completely made up because we know that the current news is completely made up what will the news say about the uh the January 6 protest they're already calling it an Insurrection no Insurrection happened but that will be the news and someday will people will look at the history books and say hm that was a terrible Insurrection back there in January 6 and it won't be real but it'll be history so I'm updating that to those who ignore history are less misinformed the more you know about history the Dumber you get so when I hear the historians especially the presidential historians weighing in as experts I think to myself your entire industry is built around you're actually analyzing the entrails of people who lied to you you're not even looking at the history you're looking at the Endra of the liars and telling me what you think will happen in the future the dumbest thing ever so the I wondered how many other old sayings were complete so the whole thing about learning from history is ridiculous be yourself worst worst uh advice ever don't be yourself that's terrible idea figure out what would be a better version of yourself and try to work toward that you're not done you're not so good that being yourself is a good idea you know what if You' done that when you were 12 would you still be acting like a 12-year-old if you just thought that's how you were naturally no don't act like yourself act like something useful act like something better than you maybe you'll become that person how about Follow Your Passion we don't have to talk about that but we used to hear about that and now that's obviously how about this big question about the Saudis not going to I don't know trade in US Dollars and then our P dollar domination will go away and the country will collapse and I thought to myself I don't think anybody even knows what's going to happen and as of today that's my current view looking at some expert opinions well it's probably not a big deal so how many of you thought it was the end of the world and today you read the news and the experts like you know actually probably not that big a deal how long have be we been worrying about this being the collapse of the United States and then when it happens people go you know that's not the most important thing so my current view is that there will just be adjustments and everything will work out well you'd be surprised to find out that the Department of Justice who reports to Garland doesn't want to prosecute their boss for contempt huh Bannon got prosecuted for contempt to Congress Peter Navaro is still in jail for contempt to Congress but when Garland is in condem to Congress uh no they're not going to prosecute it now the Republicans did a good job of forcing the Hypocrites to oun themselves so now we don't have to wonder we don't have to wonder uh if there's two forms of Justice one for republicans and one for Democrats there it is so your questions have been answered there is a separate form of punishment for de for Republicans well you heard a story that the House of Representatives passed some measure that would automatically register young men for the draft now the clarification is this it was already the law that young men had to register for the draft um so this change is just doing it automatically is that bad news or good news well I'm pretty sure if a draft became necessary whether or not you registered would be less important than whether that not they had a way to find you and they could always find you so some number of people will not register for the draft because they didn't know they were supposed to just won't do it they just didn't know it was important should they be in jail apparently is jailable did you know that it's a felony to not register for the draft how many of you didn't know that so it could be a quarter of a million dollar fines could be felony but it's it's even more than that eventually when you age out of it and the statute of limitations wears off at that point you can't be jailed and you can't be fined but apparently you are forever banned from uh working for the government or getting government financial help in a lot of things and a lot of states have their own laws to punish you for not signing up so if you make it automatic it's actually safer for the young men because then nobody's going to say hey you didn't sign up so now you have to go to jail they'll say oh everybody signed up it's automatic isn't that better so what you might have thought is oh my God instituting the draft is really just they took away a potential penalty for young men who for no fault of their own maybe didn't register so it probably is just a net plus and nothing else that's my guess however is the timing suspicious recruitment is way down we know that recruitments in the toilet and it's hard to get qualified people to volunteer and the Ukrainian war is heating up and uh people are talking about boots on the ground of at least Europeans that's not much of a leap to think that maybe the United States is just sort of getting ready yeah just in case which isn't a bad idea for a country because it sends a signal to the other countries that we serious but here's the kicker why is it that only men would be drafted we have a democrat in power should they not be honest with their people so I think the Democrats have to do one of two things either say we were lying all the time about uh you know the genders being basically equal to do everything so really we were when it really matters we were just kidding you're not equal the men will do the fighting you ladies stay home they can't say that by the way that's not my opinion I'm just saying that what are they going to do so they built a they built a party that is proman woman can do everything they need to be registered for the draft fully so I don't think men should be registered for the draft unless women are so long as we're living in a women in a world in which everybody's the same so I think women should worry about combat uh and worry about getting draft drafted so I think the odds of women being drafted into the military under a Biden regime are nonzero I'd give it an odds of U maybe size as 20% that if Biden wins re-election the the women will actually be drafted and that will be prepping for a European War now I would bet against it you know I would bet with the 80% likelihood it wouldn't happen but if I a female voter and I knew there was really no chance that would happen under Trump but a 20% chance I would get drafted into the army and sent to Ukraine and I think that women need to be a little bit more informed that they're very close to being handed a gun and sent to Ukraine they're very close I don't think they know that so it' be nice if there were at least a warant that the possibility is there uh MSNBC The propaganda network is so funny like you know I always say I'm watching it for for fun and I always think oh you think that's hyperbole no I actually watch it for the laughs because they're so bad crazy but really it's just propaganda so they're they're just acting but here's what they're trying to sell us uh they're trying to sell us that the bus their uh Business Leaders who of course don't give their names Anonymous sources msnbc's got some Anonymous sources those are always reliable aren't they uh and they said that they questioned Trump's mental Fitness because he couldn't keep a thought straight and he would go in One Direction and then go in another Direction uh behind closed doors so here's what MSNBC is trying to sell their public and I'm not making this up this is actually what they're trying to sell to Their audience that Biden is uh looks dead in public but if you were to catch him privately perfect Trump is in public all the time doing these highlevel hard things like rallies and you talking for an hour extemporaneously uh and while he does look great in public behind closed doors he's actually so if you're an embassy MSNBC if you're an MSNBC audience they're literally trying to teach you that Biden is a in public but behind closed doors just fine and that Trump every day you see him he looks just fine but behind closed doors let me tell you he all falls apart behind those closed doors according to Anonymous people who don't like him and there even been saying that it's full projection and that the uh the right right leading media is becoming like North Korea how can you watch Morning Joe and not thinking that's the the North Korea the projection is in is in full full form well to counter that uh chamoth Pala um one of the wealthy investor VC types who was at the David Sachs event and uh where Trump was there raising money in San Francisco and he was talking recently on his podcast about the experience of meeting Trump personally and what he came away with is he's definitely sharp in public in private uh he's pro- AI doesn't want to overregulation and low taxes basically all the things the business people want to hear he understands them all that the Tariff versus income tax is a pretty complicated thing which he apparently understands and is promoting at least floating as a possibility and uh the other thing that Cham Cham said is that uh he's super funny and personable and charismatic he just and you know he said that his experience of him in person was so different from his sort of bombastic public Persona that nobody would even imagine it that was exactly my experience I in person he's humble and polite and funny and charismatic like you could not like him more in person like he really has the whole package of you know how to how to work a crowd how to work an individual so chouth came Under This Spell and he even said that that Trump was making him laugh so apparently he was looking at jamath and his wife who was very attractive and uh he said 'wow you're you know a beautiful couple my goodness you're a beautiful couple and then then he turns to chamoth within hearing range of his beautiful wife he goes man you must be really rich now that's funny it's funny that he said it in front of the guy's wife and even Jaba thought it was hilarious said his wife thought it was hilarious and they'll probably talk about it for the rest of their life now that's Trump right that that is exactly who he is in private he's hilarious and he's very fun to talk to all right uh other stories everything's going Trump's way a bunch of CEO according to the Wall Street Journal the top CEOs are flocking to Trump well I don't know if they're flocking but appear apparently Trump has won over the major Bank CEOs you know the jam diamond type doesn't mean they're necessarily voting for him but they do seem to think there's a trump advantage to banking in business so if you get the bankers you have the money people but he also has the most important Venture capitalists in Silicon Valley and by the way pretty much all of them or all the ones who talk in public I haven't heard any venture capitalist lately being pro Biden except one who look bad crazy so the the reasonable ones that you know to be smart are pretty much all Trump at this point Bill Amman same thing and for all the right reasons you know AI crypto regulation taxes it's exactly what you think so they're all coming home meanwhile even according to Rasmus and even Arizona looks like it's going to go to Trump when he narrowly lost it last time if you add in the uh other candidates like RFK Jr and Jill Stein whatever uh Trump has 41 to Biden's 30 seven and uh he's doing even better than Carrie lake is in her Senate race that's closer uh where she's just a little bit behind um her Challenger Ruben Galo so it's uh what is it 44 compared to 41 so that that's a closable gap we'll see if she does uh because they're 10% undecided do you think the undecideds are really undecided if they vote I feel like I feel like undecided is where you hide a prot trump vote because if you're Pro Biden it's just safer to say it isn't it or it used to be it's less safe now but I think the 10% are likely to lean Pro Cary lake so she might have a little uh a little good luck if if this these numbers hold up we'll see all right so here's the Trump update let's compare the Trump update to the Biden update all right Trump is ahead in all the polls again so that's great he's got the support of the most important people in business in the United States from Elon Musk through the bankers to the Venture capitalists they aren't just the business people in those entities those are the best business people the smartest ones in all of those Industries it's kind of obvious now he has um to the shagrin of Democrats he has um basically pulled the Republican party together I guess even Mitt Romney was in was in the group of people who met with Trump when he visited Capitol Hill so even people who were very very anti-trump before have softened up and uh and coming around people who said bad things about him right after January 6 have decided Well maybe I took that too far you know and you've seen that JD Vance F there there are people who went hard at him and then later in the fullness of time and information when you know that wasn't exactly what it looked like was it um so the other thing is that Trump is getting the support of men the UFC uh I saw Tim P mention that Trump is getting the male vote the Republicans I saw Greg geld mentioned it um I've seen it in other Publications it's now super super obvious that the Democrats are the party of women the um Republicans are the party of men not that there aren't you know men in the other and women in the other blah blah blah it's it's just a trend not a universal and Trump still is ahead on all major policy issues I think if you took the top three they're all Trump you know immigration e Ukraine it's all Trump so that's Trump so Trump basically won everything and the only bad thing was somebody made up a new hoax that he insulted Wisconsin an anonymous an anonymous person said they were in the meeting and he insulted Wisconsin and then we was asked about it he just brushed it as side goes no there's high crime there you that's what I was saying now so that's it so he was basically one little hoax that nobody cared about and all else went his way gigantically huge amount of money raising a huge uh change in opinion about what people thought of all the lawfare everything's going his way everything let's see how Biden's doing Biden is seeking young influencers for his campaign which apparently is hurt by the fact that when you're trying to get Tik Tock influencers to back your campaign it doesn't work as well when you've just signed a bill to ban Tik Tok that's right so where where Trump is brilliantly working the podcasts and raising gigantic amounts of money even from jail Biden decided to use Tik Tock influencers and then ban Tik Tok in other news he's continuing his world uh us embarrassment Tour by wandering around like an animated statue in front of the other world leaders just in case you'd forgotten the contrast so it's not bad enough that we show him wandering around like a dementia patient in the United States no we had to put him on the stage where all the other world leaders appear to be functional even if you don't like their policies they appear to be able to walk and talk and you see them up there and you say hey why is it we have the only leader in the G7 who can't walk in talk so that's not ideal for the Biden team and uh the biggest question about Trump is whether the bad guys using lawfare will jail him before the election but all smart people think he would he would win even from jail whereas Biden's biggest question is will he survive until election day or will he crumple into a pile of dust and the wind will blow it away before November 5th so over all I would say that Trump's looking a little bit better winning all the polls getting all the business support winning Men by a huge margin he favored on all the policies but Biden is looking for Tik Tok influencers while Banning Tik Tok idiot embarrassing the world the us around the world uh on camera so we can all watch it and the biggest question is whether he's even healthy enough to survive until election day so what if he wins I I saw Greg geld ask this question what if he wins there's going to be some trouble I don't recommend trouble yeah don't do anything but how how is the public going to accept that it's just going to look like it's rigged so there you go um so it's all good for me CU I'm a I'm one of of those hot rodent men okay and the last thing is that uh the Secretary of State blinkin um he said that the Kremlin is intensifying its hybrid attacks against NATO members now do you know what the hybrid attacks are that would be like hacking and um you murdering people in suspicious ways that's right so do you believe the do you believe when Tony blinkin says Russia's doing hacking and hurting hurting the countries that are near uh Russia over there how do they know it's Russian hackers if I've taught you anything it's this if somebody claims that Russian hackers broke into anything that's probably I'm not saying that Russian hackers never have broken into anything I'm just saying they'll never be able to prove it and it's always very convenient when it happens isn't it oh we're mad at Russia because of Ukraine and uh there's all these suspicious hacks well that must be Russia no it might be but I would put zero credibility on any claim of Russia hacking how about Russia hacking Hillary's emails nope I do not believe that that really happened in the real world that looks like to me maybe I wouldn't say it's impossible but I think every claim of Russia hacking is in the really low credibility range no matter where it comes from even if the government says oh we've got tons of evidence can't show it to you but we got all the evidence no don't believe it because R Russia is just the scapegoat of scapegoats so if somebody says hey we found a bunch of dead bodies we think it's Russia uh maybe probably not the the anti-semitic people on You.
Tube are are just so uh animated every day I have to deal with people telling me I don't understand history and if I did I would see the mass Jewish conspiracy and I always ask I'm willing to listen to the argument so what do you got and it's always nothing so if when I say okay well if you're making a claim what would be the evidence for that well Scott if you knew history I go well okay why don't you point me to something well if you're not going to be educated no just show me something and it just disappears as soon as you ask for any anything reliable or anything so um we're still talking about VP possibilities yeah um TV heads car defending the Biden wandering around was not shown on mainstream TV yeah the people still watching mainstream TV are just lost I'd love to see Trump say that I L Trump to say you know you should lose all all credibility in the mainstream press and you you should look at at least the podcasters who are sort of the alternate news at this point yeah so is it the WF that's controlling the world or is the Freemasons or is the the gigantic Jewish conspiracy that you're all sure is happening but nobody has any information that they can share with me that would be not stupid a lot of conspiracies well I don't know some of them might be true but that ladies and gentlemen concludes my Saturday amazing coffee with Scott Adams I'm going to say goodbye to You.
Tube and Rumble and x and talk to my beloved subscribers on locals uh um if you're not subscribing to the Dilbert comic that's either on X by subscription or on locals you ad miss that dilbur is using the declining birth rate argument to try to get his date to sleep with them because they're going to need to increase the population of the Earth or we're all dead it doesn't work out well for Dilbert as you might guess and if you have not yet bought my book God's debris the complete works that includes the first two books plus a new a new short story to complete the Avatar Arc you should because people are loving it the reviews are crazy it's a good gift book by the way and a great summer book and or reframe your brain is is H good too if you haven't uh it's actually great if you haven't seen it all right so that's it for me for the big platforms I'm going to go talk to the locals people right now e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
[Music]
H where is everybody
today let's make sure I can see all my
comments all right comments online
looking
good all our technology is working
today if it looks like I'm stalling to
make sure everybody's here for the
simultaneous zip well that's exactly
what I'm doing it's called stalling
but I'm almost ready because everybody's
pouring
in good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization it's
called coffee with Scott Adams cuz
that's kind of what it is and if you'd
like to take this experience up to
levels that nobody can even understand
with their smooth tiny human brains all
you need for that is a cup or mug or a
glass of tanker CH d a canteen jug a
flask a vessel of any kind fill it with
your favorite liquid I like coffee and
join me now for the unparallel pleasure
the dope mean head of the day the thing
makes everything better it's called the
simultaneous Sip and it happens
now ah technology on point everything's
working
today well let's uh let's give a little
thank for our experts shall we you know
experts get a bad rap especially lately
but what would we do without them here's
a case in point uh finally after long
last Co long Co has a
definition now that's what we needed
because long Co everybody was all over
the place like what is it how do you
identify it how do you know you had it
you know what does it even exist but
finally the experts have come together
and they've decided that the definition
of long Co is as follows it has to
happen after
Co so it can't be before
Co that seems to be built into the
definition right so you can't get covid
before there was covid so the experts
have clarified that it could only be
long Co if you've had Co now that's a
good first step but it gets
better and it could be identified by any
one of 200 symptoms that may come and go
during the rest of your
life so finally we have a little Clarity
is something that happened after you had
Co any time in your life and could
include any one of 200 symptoms that may
come and go for reasons you don't
understand and that's called long Co now
other people have called
that well various names uh old age old
age cuz that happens to me after
Co and I think I get about 200 symptoms
I get about 200 symptoms a day now uh
and that's just the first five minutes
after I wake up I'm like Oh my back oh
you know that sort of
thing so it's probably uh must have some
long
Co um companies are discovering that all
their big AI projects that were going to
save the money and change the nature of
the world have uh hit what some call the
Troth of
disillusionment and that it's not really
changing the world the way they thought
and a lot of projects are
stalled um I could have told you that
the reason I could have told you that is
I tried several projects myself I tried
to use AI to do a bunch of things that
would be completely relevant to what I
do for a living and I thought man I'm
going to be the first
one I I'm going to be the one who's the
first cartoonist
to to use AI in like a real cool way is
really going to impress you I can't get
a thing to
work it it's fun to talk to it and use
it for education and stuff but to
actually turn it into a tool that you
that I can use in my work nope no luck
at all uh I do hear that there's some
upgrades to the deli AI system which
I've been trying to build an agent in
and and ran into some obstacles in terms
of what it could or could not do but the
company was very responsive and they say
in a week or so they're going to have a
bunch of uh fixes and whatever so that I
can get it to do what I want so I'm
open-minded about it maybe but I'll let
you know so far
AI um because it's gives unreliable
answers to things there's just a whole
host of things you thought it would do
that it can't ever do because if you
can't if you can't know that it will
give you the right
answer what is
it it's like a person you have a
conversation with if you have a
conversation with somebody and they give
you some wrong fact you know we kind of
discount that as that's the way
conversations go but if you're asking
for data and it sometimes just gives you
the wrong data and you don't know why
and you can't fix it uh that doesn't
work at all
so I do think AI is going to be as big
as everybody says but there's probably a
gigantic percentage of it that will
never
work at least during using the llm
technology it might work in some future
iteration but not
now well I was watching the five last
night and I saw a story there's a new
trend uh sort of nonobvious
uh and as the Chiron read um on the five
women are falling for guys who look like
cartoon mice which they they refer to as
hot rodent men so men who have that Vibe
of looking sort of roughly like a rat
are becoming a little bit more
popular now this was good news for me
um my patience has finally paid off and
it looks like it's my time to shine so
good luck to the rest of you handsome
looking people because your day came and
went no it's time for the rat-faced
people to rise and I might be their
leader I might be but not just
that let's look at the other
science um there's a study from Japan
that says if you eat small fish whole
like the entire fish bones and all uh
it's really really good for your health
because apparently all those bones and
things are are good for you
now I'm not super surprised about that
because yesterday I was watching a video
of a slow motion capture by a looked
like a Golden Eagle catching a fish and
popping it in his mouth and eating a
hole and I thought to myself
hey that uh that that Golden Eagle isn't
even chewing it's actually just going
and like swallowing a fish hole and so I
said to myself I wonder if the the whole
fish is
healthy apparently it is apparently
there's not much more better you could
do than eat a whole
fish but here's the uh question I ask
why is it so consistent that if there's
something good for you it's also
horrible to
do like could they come up with anything
worse like I expect tomorrow will be and
science has discovered that if you can
shove 10 pine cones up your own ass
you will add 10 years to your
life and I'll be like but I don't want
to shove pine cones up my ass that
sounds really painful and people will
say well I mean if you don't care about
your health you can do it your way no
now I got to eat a whole fish and shove
pine cones up my ass every everything's
too
hard well here's a surprising surprising
result of a study thanks to science we
have determined remember you used to
hear from women that if only men would
help with the housework after they got
home from working all day that then
they'd want to have more sex with them
and so we were told that the sexiest
thing you could do Ben was do the dishes
and vacuum while your wife is
watching and a lot of you said finally
I've cracked the code all I have to do
is a little extra dusting put this apron
on cook some food clean up after myself
take care of the kids and I'm going to
get some to Super action
wow that's what I was told for probably
20 years 30
years well in a new study says uh turns
out that helping with the housework uh
gets you less sex for heterosexual
married Partners yeah so the man will
get less sex and I guess that means that
the woman would get less sex if
everything's working out the way it
should uh
um
so if you uh want to do well with the
ladies you should look more like a
rat-faced boy and less like some kind of
handsome thing nobody wants that so look
like a rat-faced person um you want to
not help with the uh the hous work that
appears to be good for your sex life and
I'd like to add my own little twist um
you'll see this from S as well Shaquille
O'Neal said this the other day in a
video never share your
feelings no no did you ever fall for
that trap how many of you have ever
fallen for the Trap of sharing your
feelings how'd that work
out so here's my advice to you look like
a rat-faced boy don't communicate with
your lover and whatever you do don't
help out around the house
and uh you will be amazed how much punon
Tang you're
getting so there's your relationship
advice from the single guy who's not in
relationship and uh if that doesn't
frighten you is
should there's a startup in
India that printed a rocket
engine uh in 72 hours using a 3D
printer they printed a rocket ship
and then sent the rocket up and it
worked they printed rocket ship or
rocket engine they printed it in 72
hours that's amazing that's like one of
the Imp most
impressive technology things I've ever
heard of in my life now let's take it to
the next level if you can 3D print
something as sensitive and Powerful as a
rocket engine
how far are we from 3D printing a small
modular nuclear
reactor
suddenly suddenly if you could get rid
of the you know burdensome regulations
but not the ones you need if you get rid
of
regulations and you could Co you could
locate the new reactors let's say where
they're already nuclear power plants and
you could keep the waste there which is
the new way they do it in some cases
they can reuse the waste for fuel for
other types of reactors if you could do
all that and then you could have a
standardized design that's approved by
the government and all the Regulatory
Agencies and your biggest problem was
actually
manufacturing you might be able to 3D
it imagine if you could 3D print a
preapproved no own model of a small
modular nuclear
reactor now you might say to yourself I
don't want to be the first one to live
next to the 3D printed nuclear reactor
but I would have said that about going
up at a
rocket if they can make it safe enough
for a
rocket I don't know seems like they
might be able to make it safe enough for
a nuke with a little extra work
maybe that's a that's one of those
boring little stories that might be like
one of the biggest deals in the whole
universe could be meanwhile there's a
Turkish student who is trying to pass
some uh difficult entrance exam and uh
cleverly used a hidden camera and a
button that would look at the test and
it would use AI to solve the test
questions and then read it into a
earpiece so the guy was listening to the
answers while the the button was looking
at the the test
and he got
caught
now I feel like I would have wanted to
hire that guy in the
spot because because if his system
worked it's kind of impressive it's like
huh if you can do that yeah I'd like you
to work for me anyway uh it seems like
there's going to be a lot more of
that that type of
cheating well the New York Times is
reportedly they got rid of like nine out
of the 16 of their uh artists who were
on
staff and they did it because that some
say it's because of AI but I think the
New York Times says no no it's just
cross cutting
um but the uh the
Union uh for the workers at the New York
Times uh said that uh firing artists and
replacing them with with AI that the the
union said and I quote I thought we were
better than this
better than
this is the union actually a communist
organization what do they mean by better
I thought better was companies um hire
people when they need people and they
fire people when they don't need people
and it's called it's called it's called
capitalism it's called capitalism that
would be the system that we're living
under allegedly but according to the
union who apparently are communists I
thought we were better than this better
than what capitalism if you're better
than
capitalism what's the name of that what
what are you calling the thing that's
better than hiring and firing depending
on the business's needs what's better
than that
communism I can't think of anything else
they'd be talking about so apparently
the employees of the New York Times
are literally Communists or socialists
or something but they don't understand
this whole capitalism thing
well here's the good news and bad news
uh let's see if you could have predicted
this uh if you haven't read the story I
want to see how long it takes you to
predict the ending of this this news
event right so involves
California so put on your California
thinking
cap involves the drought which
California had had for years which is
now solved it turns out that California
is just flush with water got plenty of
water
at the same
time they're going to deny Farmers uh
they're going to cut a lot of the
farmers back to only 40% of the federal
water they were supposed to get I guess
there's Federal water and other water
but it'll be a major p pullback in the
water
why all right it's
California and there's plenty of water
plenty of water everybody agrees but the
farmers will not be allowed to get
uh nearly as much water as I need why
would that be you tell me it's
California oh let me guess oh let me
fill you in it's because of an
endangered fish there's a problem with
an endangered
fish
yep so is that the most California thing
you've ever heard in your
life uh years ago before I built the
house that I'm living in right now I
thought I was going to build it in a
different place I bought several Acres
down the road and when I went to uh look
into building on it turns out they had
uh maybe some endangered fish in the
Little Creek that was dry most of the
time or frogs or something I forget what
it was but I've actually been limited
from building for a fish or a frog that
nobody has ever seen and by the way
there weren't any there it just looked
like a place that might be some
endangered fish or something like it's
actually insane trying to get anything
built in California I don't recommend it
by the way I wouldn't do it at all um
but anyway so this endangered fish I
don't know how endangered it is or how
important it is because frankly I've
never I've never missed that
fish um but apparently you could eat
that fish whole and it would be really
good for you uh but don't it's an
endangered fish so even though it'd be
very healthy to eat a whole don't do
that it's endangered so what are the
farmers going to do well I don't know
but the only thing I can think of is if
the Farmers can't get water for their
crops uh they might be able to get the
huge masses of illegal migrants uh to
urinate on
them I mean I don't know if that would
help but it's better than nothing
right that's just my idea all right the
Oakland reparations committee it wants
$5
million and you're going to say well
that's that's not nearly as much as I
thought Oakland's a pretty big place and
the reparations committee is only asking
for $5 million and I I saw that and I
thought
huh that might actually be something we
could talk about because you know we
wouldn't miss $5 million in our our
taxes and then I read it more carefully
no they don't the reparations Committee
in Oakland they don't want $5 million
for
reparations they want $5 million from
taxpayers to come up with a
plan for the
reparations 5 million to work on a
plan now as a person who lives in the
Oakland
area what should I do to avoid uh being
penalized for being
white by having to pay for some
reparation that I had nothing to do with
what should I do should I get the
out of
there can can we be adults for like a
minute I didn't create the
system I mean I'm just in the system
it's not my fault if the system makes it
more expensive to live in a state where
there is a big black population you
should get out of there or at least it
should be one of your
factors if you live anywhere in a place
where Dei is a big emphasis you should
get the out of there if you're
white or Asian American you should get
out of there because you don't have any
options you can't fight it and why would
you stay where things are bad the number
one thing that I teach people about
Career Success is if you can't do it
where you are get the out of there
it's the very first thing I did when I
graduated college cuz my hometown was a
tiny little town with you know no real
industry or anything like that except
tourism and the first thing I did is
moved to the California Bay Area before
even knowing what I'd do for my life
because you have to go where the
opportunity is so at the moment
California is becoming kind of a hell
hole I wouldn't recommend anybody move
to it it's just really hard to move out
of it and believe me I've been doing a
lot of
research they've got these clawback
Provisions they can tax you even if you
leave you know demonstrating that you
really left if you if you visit a lot
it's going to be problem yeah California
is just a piece of right
now but it has lovely weather and if you
can afford it that part's
great well the uh Stanford had this
weird disinformation Research Center
which turned out to be just a place
where the government would work with
these I don't want to call them fakes
but they were obviously people working
on the censorship industrial complex and
they just closed down because they had
so much heat but I don't trust it do do
you think that just because this
prominent censorship entity got closed
down do you do you think do you think
that they're not going to do any
sensoring I assume they just got more
clever about it don't we assume that
outside of X the platforms are all doing
the same same kind of bad stuff maybe
just more cleverly so in other words
instead of kicking somebody off a
platform maybe just nobody sees their
posts I haven't hear I haven't heard as
much complaining about it this year have
you it used to be that it was just so
obvious uh the censorship that it was
just continuous complaining because you
couldn't miss it it was everywhere but I
really haven't heard it so far the cycle
does that suggest that we're actually
getting some kind of control over that
or we just don't know where it is now
see what I what I fear is that it's just
a whacka mole situation and we whacked
this Stanford disinformation Research
Center I mean collectively we whacked
it but it doesn't mean it didn't just
pop up somewhere else under a different
name I assume that's what's
happening all right the U Supreme Court
struck down the Trump uh era ban on bump
stocks I guess
so if it's not a
ban you can have them now that was a
weird one because you wouldn't expect
anybody Trump related to want to ban
anything gun
related but if you don't follow gun
stuff the so-called bump stocks would
turn your gun into a wildly inaccurate
instrument and so the gun people said
who the hell would want to use a bump
stock if it just makes your gun less
accurate like the the one and only time
you'd use it would be that you know
Vegas shooting when you're shooting into
a gigantic crowd and accuracy didn't
really matter because you weren't aiming
at a specific person anyway but short of
that I'm told that if you you know had a
handgun and went into someplace with bad
intentions and just carefully shot you
would do more damage than a bump that's
just going to be firing bullets into the
ceiling as much as the anything
else so I don't think it matters these
this bump stock thing is is such a small
little thing makes no difference to
anybody I don't
think all right I continue to ask the
question of why voting machines exist if
they're not cheaper or more secure or
making us feel more credible and they're
not faster why there was a gentleman I
saw on social media here who asked his
local town to explain why they use
machines and they said something about
them being more efficient to R able or
something clearly not true clearly not
true so why do we have
them now other people have said that uh
well you know if it produces paper you
can always be you can always double
check because you just look at the paper
but apparently there are cases where it
doesn't produce paper and there you know
we know this PTO Rico had just all kinds
of trouble with their voting machines
and I guess they didn't produce paper
RFK Jr is basically saying you can't
trust the voting
machines and unless it unless it creates
paper so he would do legislation that
says you can keep your voting machine
but it's got to create a piece of paper
so we can check to see if it was
real is that
enough I don't know I don't
know but let's check in with the
rasmuson folks who like to keep us
updated on various claims of
irregularity in voting from 2020 so
here's what we believe we know from the
mar Maricopa County one of the most
question uh voting election results in
2020 here's what we know there was only
one legal type of paper that could be
used and there are credible uh
allegations that there were up to 10
different types found now do you know
why there's only one uh one type of
paper that's approved for an election in
a in a given area does anybody know why
they say you can only use one piece of
paper my first thought was oh it's
because they know that this kind of
paper is accepted by the machines that
was my first thought you you want to
make sure it can be processed through
the machines when they count you don't
want any cheap paper that gets caught in
the machines but it turns out that's not
really the
reason that's maybe one of the reasons
they make sure that the paper works but
the other reason is to make sure that
there's no
fraud do you know how they can detect
the
fraud if somebody use the wrong
paper it's a fraud
detection now for some reason that
didn't immediately occur to me I just
assumed it was a functional question and
that if they used other paper but the
machines accepted it I was thinking well
that's not big problem is it what's the
problem so they ran into paper some
people didn't get the memo they just use
whatever paper was available it worked
fine no problem but then once you
realize that the limitation of the paper
is a major way that they prevent fraud
and then you see that there were
credible reports of 10 different papers
used that would pretty much be
guaranteed fraud if you could prove this
is true it's hard to imagine it would be
anything but exactly what it looks like
now is it proven I don't know because
it's hard to believe anything in the
election domain because so many things
are found not to be true so but that
claim still stands meaning that no court
has said it's not true there's no court
that said no that didn't happen so the
claim is out there what whatever status
it is it's out there here's another
one uh within Maricopa County there was
one legal software version only one that
was legal but two versions uh and a
compiler were found the compiler was
capable of creating executable files and
then deleting them without
detection but there is some some
evidence that it did is did so three
times during the
election what why is your compiler
creating and executing files and then
deleting them what what would be the
legal reason to do that I don't know
maybe there is some legal reason you
know anything anything nothing would
surprise me at this point but uh
certainly everything about that looks
fraudulent but remember don't get fooled
by
Krakens there there are tons of times
since 2020 that uh both you and I
probably heard a report and you said to
yourself oh this time that's a Smoking
Gun then maybe it turned out not to be
so you should always keep a real real
real open mind
about any specific
claims but I take the argument from
specific claims to the general the
general is what are the odds that this
is the only non-corrupt system in the
United
States I'd say
zero just common sense and and if you
say We'll prove it then I'll say well
how about I don't have to prove it how
about I just show you that every single
other system can be hacked and has been
and if every if anything that can be
gamed is being gamed everywhere all the
time that's the way the world works so
the fact that you didn't catch it
probably doesn't mean
anything because people presumably would
figure out how not to get caught so I
don't have any proof that there's any
kind of election irregularity all I have
is the common sense that of course it is
of course it
is why why would it be true if it
doesn't need to be and somebody can
benefit from Faking
it it seems unlikely that it's a fair
system um you know that President Trump
floated the idea of having a uh having
more tariffs on incoming products from
other countries and getting rid of the
income tax and I saw a a long post by
BAGI sh nasan in which he's explaining
there's actually there's an historical
presedent because apparently before the
income tax that was actually a big way
that the United States funded
itself and it's actually possible that
we could do
it uh but as BAGI points out it probably
would take 10 years of economic pain
like we haven't experienced since maybe
the Great Depression so I mean he didn't
say the Great Depression part I just
added that myself it's just it would be
very disruptive to make that kind of a
change but it's not impossible and it
has some benefits and the benefits are
that it would make the country run like
a it would make the country run like a
company that's trying to make money so
we would try to sell our Goods to other
people and make more
money than uh than the other people were
making by selling to us basically so we
would charge them for incoming stuff so
their stuff was more expensive which
would make it more profitable to build
it internally and then manufacturing
could move back to America because the
tariffs would make it expensive to buy
things from other places now if you add
robots plus 3D printing and some tariffs
you could pretty easily imagine the
manufacturing coming back to America
first slowly and then quickly right once
we get all the transportation and the
electrical and everything worked
out it might happen quickly after it
goes slowly for a while
anyway the biggest problem is that our
current process as baji points out is
that we just print money when we want to
and it wouldn't work if you had a tariff
if you had a tariff you'd have you'd
only have that money but if you can just
money suddenly oh here's another
trillion dollars so how do you how do
you tell yourself to stop printing money
just because the system is collapsing if
you keep doing it hasn't stopped us
yet so yeah it's probably impossible
from a bureaucratic point of
view here's a question I
have how big are the election
whistleblower rewards uh this
year and don't tell me there aren't any
because that would be
crazy are are we are you telling me that
it's not obvious that if you were to
find some trouble in
2024 and if you reported it and let's
say if it's big enough that it would
make a difference there's no re
reward here's why you need a
whistleblower reward in advance all
right so Lura
Trump um you should be listening to this
there should be it should be known in
advance that there will be a huge amount
of money to any Democrat or anybody else
who comes up with the goods like an
actual
prosecutable large form of fraud here's
why you want to create a situation where
people who have to get other people
involved with their fraud which probably
would be the case if anybody was doing
anything yeah it would take some
insiders you know you need somebody to
drive a truck maybe somebody to unlock a
door somebody to turn the other way so
probably any form of election cheating
hypothetically again I'm not aware of
any proven um forms in 2020 but
hypothetically if someone was planning
an OP of that size other people would be
involved and if you had a big enough
reward you can guarantee that the people
who were involved in it would have to
kill all the other people
involved to avoid The Whistleblower
imagine putting a plot together all
right the five of us are going to do
this plot and we're going to cheat in
the
election and uh but when it's done any
one of the five of us can go collect a
million dollars just by turning in the
other
four so what are you going to do are you
going to be part of that plot or are you
going to say yes and make sure you're
the first one to turn it in because if
you're not the first one to go
whistleblower the first person gets a
million dollars and you get jail
time so what would you do well the first
thing is it would create a situation
where the leader of the plot would have
to murder all the underlings after the
plot was executed because you couldn't
have somebody out there who could make a
million
dollars and before they were just
driving a truck or they were the janitor
that unlocked the
door right you can't have somebody out
there with like a million dollars to
gain if they Buck the
system so there should be a very large
award reward in advance that everybody
knows about that says if you find some
things it has to go through the court of
course it have to be Court uh Court uh
confirmed but if you don't have that it
looks like hey you can give me $100 to
open this door I'll take
it will you talk to anybody about it nah
I'll just keep the
$100 so you got to make it too expensive
to
cheat you see where I'm going in this
make it too expensive to cheat because
somebody's going to drop a dime like too
much to
gain well on the plus side remember I
told you that Lara Trump seemed like the
right person for the co-chair of the RNC
because you needed somebody who had a
predator
mindset and I'm going to say this in a
positive way if in case it sounded
insulting it's not meant to be Laura
Trump has Predator written all over
her do you would you agree with that
let's put it this way um if you look at
somebody like uh you know Adam Chef you
might be an a little troll but he
doesn't look like a
predator yeah he looks like
prey in the wild he'd be the first one
that the lion ate but but Laura Trump
would be the
lion right so she's got I think she has
all the qualifications that you need for
somebody who's going to just really make
it happen and apparently she's put
together a pretty major effort for poll
Watchers and Watchdogs during the poll
now that's the thing you were waiting
for isn't it weren't you waiting to find
out that the Republicans were actually
going to do something for
once it turns out she is and it's pretty
big and it probably will make a big
difference because you don't have to
have them everywhere you just have to
have them in the key places
so uh this is part of a theme of
everything seems to be going Trump's way
at the
moment we'll get into more Trump stuff
but now that that we know what could
have happened it looks like the
censorship machine is at least being
wounded if not dismantled it looks like
the people who are going to watch the
elections going to watch it a lot more
carefully and by the way we still don't
have an answer of why we use electronic
counting
machines nobody's even offered an
explanation how far do you think we can
go into the election cycle without
anybody anybody anywhere offering a
counterarguments like oh yeah the
machines are good
because it's going to get more and more
embarrassing the longer we go with
nobody even trying to answer the
question and and suppose somebody does
answer the question even that's bad
because why didn't the public know about
any of that why why is it we don't know
why you're doing it we should know that
should be kind of transparent we're
doing it because maybe it's a good
reason Maybe
anyway
um you know if you ever heard that
saying those who ignore history are
doomed to repeat
it sounded pretty smart when the first
time you heard it h if I ignore
history I I'll fall into those same
traps of the people in history so I
better understand my history so I I know
what works and what doesn't
work well that would make sense if
history were real but we know the
history is completely made up because we
know that the current news is completely
made
up what will the news say about the uh
the January 6
protest they're already calling it an
Insurrection no Insurrection happened
but that will be the news and someday
will people will look at the history
books and say hm that was a terrible
Insurrection back there in January
6 and it won't be real but it'll be
history so I'm updating that to those
who ignore history are less
misinformed the more you know about
history the Dumber you get so when I
hear the historians especially the
presidential historians weighing in as
experts I think to myself your entire
industry is built around
you're actually analyzing the
entrails of people who lied to you
you're not even looking at the history
you're looking at the Endra of the liars
and telling me what you think will
happen in the future the dumbest thing
ever so the I wondered how many other
old sayings were complete so
the whole thing about learning from
history is ridiculous be
yourself worst worst uh advice ever
don't be
yourself that's terrible idea figure out
what would be a better version of
yourself and try to work toward that
you're not
done you're not so good that being
yourself is a good idea you know what if
You' done that when you were 12 would
you still be acting like a 12-year-old
if you just thought that's how you were
naturally no don't act like yourself act
like something useful act like something
better than you maybe you'll become that
person how about Follow Your Passion we
don't have to talk about that but we
used to hear about that and now that's
obviously
how about this big question
about the Saudis not going to I don't
know trade in US Dollars and then our P
dollar domination will go away and the
country will collapse and I thought to
myself I don't think anybody even knows
what's going to happen and as of today
that's my current view looking at some
expert opinions well it's probably not a
big
deal so how many of you thought it was
the end of the world and today you read
the news and the experts like you know
actually probably not that big a deal
how long have be we been worrying about
this being the collapse of the United
States and then when it happens people
go you know that's not the most
important
thing so my current view is that there
will just be adjustments and everything
will work
out well you'd be surprised to find out
that the Department of Justice who
reports to Garland doesn't want to
prosecute their boss for contempt huh
Bannon got prosecuted for contempt to
Congress Peter Navaro is still in jail
for contempt to Congress but when
Garland is in condem to Congress uh no
they're not going to prosecute it now
the Republicans did a good job of
forcing the Hypocrites to oun themselves
so now we don't have to
wonder we don't have to
wonder uh if there's two forms of
Justice one for republicans and one for
Democrats there it is
so your questions have been answered
there is a separate form of punishment
for de for
Republicans well you heard a story that
the House of Representatives passed some
measure that would automatically
register young men for the draft now the
clarification is this it was already the
law that young men had to register for
the
draft um so this change is just doing it
automatically
is that bad news or good
news well I'm pretty sure if a draft
became necessary whether or not you
registered would be less important than
whether that not they had a way to find
you and they could always find you
so some number of people will not
register for the draft because they
didn't know they were supposed to just
won't do it they just didn't know it was
important should they be in jail
apparently is jailable did you know that
it's a felony to not register for the
draft how many of you didn't know that
so it could be a quarter of a million
dollar fines could be felony but it's
it's even more than that eventually when
you age out of it and the statute of
limitations wears off at that point you
can't be jailed and you can't be fined
but apparently you are forever banned
from uh working for the government
or getting government financial help in
a lot of things and a lot of states have
their own laws to punish you for not
signing
up so if you make it
automatic it's actually
safer for the young men because then
nobody's going to say hey you didn't
sign up so now you have to go to jail
they'll say oh everybody signed up it's
automatic isn't that
better so what you might have thought is
oh my God instituting the
draft is really just they took away a
potential penalty for young men who for
no fault of their own maybe didn't
register so it probably is just a net
plus and nothing
else that's my
guess however is the timing
suspicious recruitment is way
down we know that recruitments in the
toilet and it's hard to get qualified
people to volunteer
and the Ukrainian war is heating up and
uh people are talking about boots on the
ground of at least
Europeans that's not much of a leap to
think that maybe the United States is
just sort of getting
ready yeah just in case which isn't a
bad idea for a country because it sends
a signal to the other countries that we
serious but here's the
kicker why is it that only men would be
drafted
we have a democrat in power should they
not be honest with their people so I
think the Democrats have to do one of
two things either say we were lying all
the time about uh you know the genders
being basically equal to do everything
so really we were when it really matters
we were just kidding you're not equal
the men will do the fighting you ladies
stay home they can't say that by the way
that's not my opinion I'm just saying
that what are they going to do so they
built a they built a party that is
proman woman can do
everything they need to be registered
for the draft
fully so I don't think men should be
registered for the draft unless women
are so long as we're living in a women
in a world in
which everybody's the
same so I think women should worry about
combat uh and worry about getting draft
drafted so I think the odds of women
being drafted into the military under a
Biden regime are
nonzero I'd give it an odds of U maybe
size as
20% that if Biden wins
re-election the the women will actually
be drafted and that will be prepping for
a European
War now I would bet against it you know
I would bet with the 80% likelihood it
wouldn't happen but if I a female voter
and I knew there was really no chance
that would happen under Trump but a 20%
chance I would get drafted into the army
and sent to
Ukraine and I think that women need to
be a little bit more informed that
they're very
close to being handed a gun and sent to
Ukraine they're very close I don't think
they know
that so it' be nice if there were at
least a warant that the possibility is
there
uh
MSNBC The propaganda
network is so funny like you know I
always say I'm watching it for for fun
and I always think oh you think that's
hyperbole no I actually watch it for the
laughs because they're so bad crazy
but really it's just propaganda so
they're they're just
acting but here's what they're trying to
sell
us uh they're trying to sell us that the
bus their uh Business Leaders who of
course don't give their names Anonymous
sources msnbc's got some Anonymous
sources those are always reliable aren't
they uh and they said that they
questioned Trump's mental Fitness
because he couldn't keep a thought
straight and he would go in One
Direction and then go in another
Direction uh behind closed doors so
here's what MSNBC is trying to sell
their public and I'm not making this up
this is actually what they're trying to
sell to Their
audience that Biden is
uh looks dead in public but if you were
to catch him privately
perfect Trump is in public all the time
doing these highlevel hard things like
rallies and you talking for an hour
extemporaneously uh and while he does
look great in public behind closed doors
he's actually
so if you're an embassy
MSNBC if you're an MSNBC audience
they're literally trying to teach you
that Biden is a in public but
behind closed doors just fine and that
Trump every day you see him he looks
just fine but behind closed doors let me
tell you he all falls apart behind those
closed doors according to Anonymous
people who don't like
him and there even been saying that it's
full projection and that the uh the
right right leading media is becoming
like North
Korea how can you watch Morning Joe and
not thinking that's the the North Korea
the projection is in is in full full
form well to counter that uh chamoth
Pala um one of the wealthy investor VC
types who was at the David Sachs event
and uh where Trump was there raising
money in San Francisco and he was
talking recently on his podcast about
the experience of meeting Trump
personally and what he came away with is
he's definitely sharp in public in
private uh he's pro- AI doesn't want to
overregulation and low taxes basically
all the things the business people want
to hear he understands them all that the
Tariff versus income tax is a pretty
complicated thing which he apparently
understands and is promoting at least
floating as a
possibility and uh the other thing that
Cham Cham said is that uh he's super
funny and personable and charismatic he
just and you know he said that his
experience of him in person was so
different from his sort of bombastic
public Persona that nobody would even
imagine it that was exactly my
experience I in person he's humble and
polite and funny and
charismatic like you could not like him
more in person like he really has the
whole package of you know how to how to
work a crowd how to work an individual
so chouth came Under This Spell and he
even said that that Trump was making him
laugh so apparently he was looking at
jamath and his wife who was very
attractive
and uh he said 'wow you're you know a
beautiful couple my goodness you're a
beautiful couple and then then he turns
to chamoth within hearing range of his
beautiful wife he goes man you must be
really
rich now that's
funny it's funny that he said it in
front of the guy's
wife and even Jaba thought it was
hilarious said his wife thought it was
hilarious and they'll probably talk
about it for the rest of their life now
that's Trump right
that that is exactly who he is in
private he's hilarious and he's very fun
to talk to all right uh other stories
everything's going Trump's way a bunch
of CEO according to the Wall Street
Journal the top CEOs are flocking to
Trump well I don't know if they're
flocking but appear apparently Trump has
won over the major Bank CEOs you know
the jam diamond type doesn't mean
they're necessarily voting for him but
they do seem to think there's a trump
advantage to banking in business so if
you get the bankers you have the money
people but he also has the most
important Venture capitalists in Silicon
Valley and by the way pretty much all of
them or all the ones who talk in public
I haven't heard any venture capitalist
lately being pro Biden except one who
look bad
crazy so the the reasonable ones that
you know to be smart are pretty much all
Trump at this point Bill Amman same
thing and for all the right reasons you
know AI crypto regulation taxes it's
exactly what you think so they're all
coming home meanwhile even according to
Rasmus and even Arizona looks like it's
going to go to Trump when he narrowly
lost it last time if you add in the uh
other candidates like RFK Jr and Jill
Stein whatever uh Trump has 41 to
Biden's 30
seven and uh he's doing even better than
Carrie lake is in her Senate race that's
closer uh where she's just a little bit
behind um her Challenger Ruben Galo so
it's uh what is it 44 compared to 41 so
that that's a closable gap we'll see if
she
does uh because they're 10%
undecided do you think the undecideds
are really undecided if they
vote I feel like I feel like undecided
is where you hide a prot trump vote
because if you're Pro Biden it's just
safer to say it isn't it or it used to
be it's less safe now but I think the
10% are likely to lean Pro Cary lake so
she might have a little uh a little good
luck if if this these numbers hold up
we'll see all right so here's the Trump
update let's compare the Trump update to
the Biden update all right Trump is
ahead in all the
polls again so that's great he's got the
support of the most important people in
business in the United States from Elon
Musk through the bankers to the Venture
capitalists they aren't just the
business people in those entities those
are the best business people the
smartest ones in all of those Industries
it's kind of obvious now he has um to
the shagrin of Democrats he has um
basically pulled the Republican party
together I guess even Mitt Romney was in
was in the group of people who met with
Trump when he visited Capitol Hill so
even people who were very very
anti-trump before have softened up and
uh and coming around people who said bad
things about him right after January 6
have decided Well maybe I took that too
far you know and you've seen that JD
Vance F there there are people who went
hard at him and then later in the
fullness of time and information when
you know that wasn't exactly what it
looked like was
it um so the other thing is that Trump
is getting the support of men the UFC uh
I saw Tim P
mention that Trump is getting the male
vote the Republicans I saw Greg geld
mentioned it um I've seen it in other
Publications it's now super super
obvious that the Democrats are the party
of women the um Republicans are the
party of men not that there aren't you
know men in the other and women in the
other blah blah blah it's it's just a
trend not a
universal and Trump still is ahead on
all major policy
issues I think if you took the top three
they're all Trump you know immigration e
Ukraine it's all
Trump so that's Trump so Trump basically
won everything and the only bad thing
was somebody made up a new hoax that he
insulted
Wisconsin an anonymous an anonymous
person said they were in the meeting and
he insulted
Wisconsin and then we was asked about it
he just brushed it as side goes no
there's high crime there you that's what
I was saying now
so that's it so he was basically one
little hoax that nobody cared about and
all else went his way
gigantically huge amount of money
raising a huge uh change in opinion
about what people thought of all the
lawfare everything's going his way
everything let's see how Biden's
doing Biden is seeking young influencers
for his campaign which apparently is
hurt by the fact that when you're trying
to get Tik Tock influencers to back your
campaign it doesn't work as well when
you've just signed a bill to ban Tik Tok
that's right so where where Trump is
brilliantly working the podcasts and
raising gigantic amounts of money even
from jail Biden decided to use Tik Tock
influencers and then ban Tik
Tok in other news he's continuing his
world uh us embarrassment Tour by
wandering around like an animated statue
in front of the other world leaders just
in case you'd forgotten the
contrast so it's not bad enough that we
show him wandering around like a
dementia patient in the United States no
we had to put him on the stage where all
the other world leaders appear to be
functional even if you don't like their
policies they appear to be able to walk
and talk and you see them up there and
you say hey why is it we have the only
leader in the G7 who can't walk in
talk so that's not ideal for the Biden
team and
uh the biggest question about Trump is
whether the bad guys using lawfare will
jail him before the election but all
smart people think he would he would win
even from jail whereas Biden's biggest
question is will he survive until
election day or will he crumple into a
pile of dust and the wind will blow it
away before November 5th so over all I
would say that Trump's looking a little
bit better winning all the polls getting
all the business support winning Men by
a huge margin he favored on all the
policies but Biden is looking for Tik
Tok influencers while Banning Tik Tok
idiot embarrassing the world the
us around the world uh on camera so we
can all watch it and the biggest
question is whether he's even healthy
enough to survive until election
day so what if he wins
I I saw Greg geld ask this question what
if he
wins there's going to be some trouble I
don't recommend trouble yeah don't do
anything but how how is the public going
to accept that it's just going to look
like it's rigged
so there you
go
um so it's all good for
me CU I'm a I'm one of of those hot
rodent
men okay and the last thing is that
uh the Secretary of State
blinkin um he said that the Kremlin is
intensifying its hybrid attacks against
NATO members now do you know what the
hybrid attacks are that would be like
hacking and um you murdering people in
suspicious ways that's right
so do you believe the do you believe
when Tony blinkin says Russia's doing
hacking and
hurting hurting the countries that are
near uh Russia over there how do they
know it's Russian
hackers if I've taught you anything it's
this if somebody claims that Russian
hackers broke into anything that's
probably
I'm not saying that Russian
hackers never have broken into anything
I'm just saying they'll never be able to
prove it and it's always very convenient
when it happens isn't it oh we're mad at
Russia because of Ukraine and uh there's
all these suspicious hacks well that
must be
Russia no it might be but I would put
zero credibility on any claim of Russia
hacking how about Russia hacking
Hillary's emails nope I do not believe
that that really happened in the real
world that looks like to me
maybe I wouldn't say it's
impossible but I think every claim of
Russia hacking is in the really low
credibility range no matter where it
comes from even if the government says
oh we've got tons of evidence can't show
it to you but we got all the evidence no
don't believe it because R Russia is
just the scapegoat of
scapegoats so if somebody says hey we
found a bunch of dead bodies we think
it's Russia uh maybe probably
not the the
anti-semitic people on
YouTube are are just so uh
animated every day I have to deal with
people telling me I don't understand
history and if I did I would see the
mass Jewish conspiracy
and I always
ask I'm willing to listen to the
argument so what do you got and it's
always nothing so if when I say okay
well if you're making a claim what would
be the evidence for that well Scott if
you knew history I go well okay why
don't you point me to something well if
you're not going to be educated no just
show me something and it just disappears
as soon as you ask for any anything
reliable or anything
so um we're still talking about VP
possibilities
yeah um TV heads car defending
the Biden wandering around was not shown
on mainstream
TV yeah the people still watching
mainstream TV are just lost I'd love to
see Trump say that I L Trump to say you
know you should lose
all all credibility in the mainstream
press and you you should look at at
least the
podcasters who are sort of the alternate
news at this
point yeah so is it the WF that's
controlling the world or is the
Freemasons or is the the gigantic Jewish
conspiracy that you're all sure is
happening but nobody has any information
that they can share with me that would
be not
stupid a lot of
conspiracies well I don't know some of
them might be true but that ladies and
gentlemen concludes my Saturday amazing
coffee with Scott Adams I'm going to say
goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and x and
talk to my beloved subscribers on
locals uh um if you're not subscribing
to the Dilbert comic that's either on X
by subscription or on
locals you ad miss that dilbur is using
the declining birth rate argument to try
to get his date to sleep with
them because they're going to need to
increase the population of the Earth or
we're all dead it doesn't work out well
for Dilbert as you might guess and if
you have not yet bought my book God's
debris the complete works that includes
the first two books plus a new a new
short story to complete the Avatar
Arc you should because people are loving
it the reviews are crazy it's a good
gift book by the way and a great summer
book and or reframe your brain is is H
