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 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

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

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

good too if you haven't uh it's actually

great if you haven't seen it all right

platforms I'm going to go talk to the

locals people
