View segment →Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your whole life. If you'd like to take it up to another level that people with small human smooth brains can't even understand, all you need for that is a mug or a glass or a tankard, a chalice, or a can, a jug, or a flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it goes like this.
Now that's the name. That's the noise you make after the simultaneous sip. If you're making a noise that sounds like "H," that's the wrong noise and you've confused your memes, so don't do that. Only the people on the internet even understand what that comment meant, and you're laughing so hard now. And the rest of you are like, "What? Why is everybody laughing? Why is that funny? Why is HWT funny?" I miss that meme. Well, if you missed that meme, you missed a good one.
There's some news. I don't know if you saw some video of Justin Timberlake giving a concert, and pretty much everybody who saw the video said, "What's wrong with his eyes? He looks so wasted or wired on something. That doesn't look good. That looks very bad." Well, how bad was it? I think it was around the same time he got a DUI in New York. So he gets a DUI, and he was such a dumbass that the cop who stopped him the first time simply asked him to get a ride home, and he agreed. And then he just started driving again. The cops saw him a little bit later and arrested him. And he was like, "All right." I mean, you dumbass. I literally gave you a break, which you probably shouldn't have done, but he gave him a break and then he busted him. Or he might have refused it, I don't know. But anyway, he gets arrested for a DUI.
Here's the interesting part about that. He was driving a BMW SUV, same vehicle I drive. Oh, we celebrities pretty much do the same cars. But if he had been driving a Tesla, a self-driving Tesla, would this problem have happened? In other words, would there have been any reason to pull him over in the first place? Because the car would have been driving perfectly. Police would have had no reason to have any suspicion at all, and he probably would have driven all the way home and into his driveway.
Now it's not legal. Let me be clear. It is not legal to be drunk behind the wheel of a self-driving car. Just to be very clear, don't do that. That's very illegal. But it would have also been relatively very safe, I assume. I mean, it needs to be studied, but I'm going to assume that that's a lot safer than driving drunk.
But wait, there's more. Do you remember that the Teslas were named using the convention that Musk was going to use the letters in the word "sexy"? So there's a Model S, there's an X, there's a Y. There must be an E, right? So that he was intentionally spelling "sexy" with the models of his cars. So here's the punchline that I took way too long to get to. There is some chance that if Justin Timberlake had a Tesla, sexy would be bringing him back. Yes. Yes. I delivered it. Wow. Sexy would bring him back. That's right. You can try to retell that joke at home and it'll be just as flat as when I tried it. Way too much setup. But it's still, I think, a good payoff. I think it was worth your time. Sexy is bringing him back.
Speaking of drinking, I saw this message just moments ago before I got on from Dave on X. And he said, quote, "I quit drinking after 45 years because Scott Adams hypnotized me. Thank God." And Scott, well, I like to be sharing credit with God, but in this case I might have had a little bit of extra responsibility here. But you know, God, we don't want to leave God out because God's great too. But I want to tell you that the strangest thing about my weird career is that the most important thing I will have done in my life is this. So if it's true that Dave got a little boost from me and it helped him quit drinking after 45 years, my God, congratulations, Dave. Great job.
Do any of you have any conception of how hard it would be to stop drinking after 45 years? I mean, just wrap your head around that. I don't think you can. I think it's beyond imagination. We're talking about the highest level of difficulty accomplishment here. And it was done largely on the weight of one sentence: alcohol is poison. That was the hypnosis. And I hear almost every day from somebody who quit drinking forever because they heard one sentence: alcohol is poison. That's in my book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" but also reiterated in my book "Reframe Your Brain." So they are written with hypnosis, let's say informed by hypnosis techniques. They're not hypnosis per se, but reframes can actually reprogram your brain even for something as deep as an addiction. Now I'm surprised that it works that well, but so many people have said it. It's just shocking.
Toyota says it's no longer going to focus on electric vehicles and instead will develop new combustion engines. Some people say that might have something to do with hydrogen. I don't know. But I can tell you this: if you've tried to buy a Toyota truck recently, you know that you can't because they're in such demand that they're selling them as soon as they have them in the pipeline. They're all sold before they reach the dealer's lot, all of the Toyota trucks. And they don't need to do anything for anybody. Whatever they're doing must be working like crazy because people want those trucks like crazy. Every day I'm on the road, I see a Toyota Tacoma go by and I say to myself, "Man, I wish I could have bought one of those." I tried. Couldn't figure out how to get one.
But it's not all about electric cars. I'm glad that the big auto companies are looking at more than one way to make a car. I think I'd be disappointed if everybody just went electric and just said that's it, there's only one way. That would worry me. I'd rather see that there are two or three competing techniques from really capable companies. We'll see who wins. Let the marketplace decide.
Here's something that apparently Musk said that I didn't catch. I saw a version of it but not this. He said one of his predictions lately: Elon Musk telling Tesla investors that the value of Tesla alone could become half of the combined value of the S&P 500. Let me say that again. Elon Musk has said in public to Tesla investors that the value of Tesla, just that one company, could become as valuable as half of all the companies in the S&P 500. It could be half of the entire index. And that's because of robots. That's entirely a robot play. And he's saying if he doesn't get his pay package, he'll take his robot somewhere else. So is that possible? I actually think that's completely possible. I think you're talking about a multi-trillion dollar industry, and whoever is the biggest in it, and it's very likely it could be Tesla, is going to have a trillion, multi-trillion dollar business. So I'm not sure he's wrong. I mean, that's a really gutsy prediction, but I think he's right. I think he's right.
I've been spending more and more time with AI, using ChatGPT in particular 4o, and I can report that it's completely addictive. If you haven't experienced it yet, and most of you haven't, it's so addictive. You know, I remember the first time I saw the internet. It was in the little lab in Pacific Bell before the public had even heard of the internet. Literally before the public had heard the word "internet." I was playing with it in the lab, and then you could feel the attraction to it and everybody else could too. You knew it was going to be big before it was anything. You could just tell everybody had the same excitement about it from the first exposure. AI does that too, right? If you tried a few AI things when it was new and it didn't do much for you because it didn't do much when it was new, it's completely different already.
So I've already told you that. Let me give you an example. Driving home from Starbucks yesterday, I had some thoughts about some potential investments. And I thought to myself, you know, it would be good if I could find a company that's in the business of making the little servos and little motors that will go into robots. Because you want to buy the thing that every robot needs independent of which company is making the robots. And it seemed to me that the robot makers would probably, at least in the near term, use whatever company already is good at making motors because there are already robots in industrial settings. So there are already robot motors in a specialty area. So instead of doing my Google search, which never works, have you ever noticed that the odds that you can find something with a Google search went from pretty good to it's a coin flip at best? But with AI I had this entire conversation on the way home. Just a conversation. I just turn it on to conversation mode and I say stuff like, "Hey, I'm thinking of investing in the robot area, but I want to find the company that's likely to win in the making little motors for each of the robot arms and legs and stuff." And it comes up with a name and it says, "There's a Japanese company. I forget what it was. And it makes these robots and blah blah." And then I said, "Well, what percentage of their business is the robot parts?" Because it was a big company. They said, "Well, they don't break that out." So I said, "Okay, well forget about that one. What is the best company that makes robot motors that's mostly in that business, so that their biggest exposure is that one thing?" And it gave me names that I could later look into if I wanted to. So it completely answered my questions and it didn't do any of that hesitating stuff. You know, the hesitating like, "Well, you know, I can't give you that information because I don't want to give you financial advice." It gave financial advice but not as advice. It simply answered questions. In fact, I was giving myself advice, but it was answering questions to get there.
Now I did the same thing with a bunch of medical questions because I had some questions about whether one symptom is common to another thing. And I was trying to track down some mysteries and it was amazing. It was so much better than talking to a doctor because I've talked to doctors and it would just answer all of my questions perfectly. It was really exciting. So here's what I found AI is best for. It's best for having a conversation where you've got a lot of questions and you know exactly what you want to know but you need to coax it into giving you the right answer. It's great at that already. So that's coming anyway.
The only thing I want to tell you is that if you haven't experienced the addiction part of it, you will. And when they put that in a robot form, there's no way I'm not going to have the robot. I'm going to have a robot following me around all day doing whatever I want. Guaranteed. There's no way that's not going to happen.
There are a bunch of kids in Hawaii who sued the state over climate change. One bunch of kids sued over climate change and won. And what they won was Hawaii agreed to decarbonize their transit systems. And I thought to myself, I've been to Hawaii. Are you telling me they have a transit system? I'm hearing that for the first time. I thought the transit system was you rent a car at the airport and then you are your own transit system. That's true for Maui. Maybe they have a bus. Maybe I don't know. They don't have much of a transit system in Hawaii. But here's the important part of this story. The director of transportation over in Hawaii, he said, quote, "Climate change is indisputable." Isn't that a weird word? So can you tell that that person is hypnotized? That's not an opinion that you come to through reason. Nothing is indisputable. If you use a word like "indisputable," you're pretty much signaling that you did not get there by reason. If you had arrived at your opinion by reason, you would have said probably something closer to "in all likelihood" or "all indications are" or "science tells us." Those are all fair. But to say "indisputable," you're treating me like I'm an idiot. No, it's not indisputable. Watch this. I dispute it. Now when I dispute it, I'm disputing the models and I'm disputing the alarm. Whether or not the Earth is getting warmer, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure they don't know either.
My best argument about climate change is, have you met people? Have you met people? Here's the argument in favor of climate change. Then I'll show you how my argument works. We know the temperature's going up because we have a vast array of thermometers, sensitive devices placed in locations around the world, and we check them and then we can see that the temperature has been going up. And by the way, we can tell it's been going up for 100 years. To which I say, have you met people? What people? Have you met them? The humans? You've heard of them, right? Human beings. There are some things they can do, some things they can't do. For example, they're pretty good at murdering each other. So if you told me, "I think people murder each other sometimes," I would have said, "Yep, that sounds like some people do." If you said people eat too much and they get fat, I'd say, "Yeah, yeah. I've not only observed that, but that's just what people do. People are like that. People be like that."
But if you tell me that people selected from all over the country have built a vast array of sensitive measuring devices in a context in which you only get paid if you get the one answer and not the other one, and you tell me that they're telling me that something like science is happening in that situation, my answer to you is, have you met people? You've met people, right? No, that isn't something people can do. Not ever. Don't give me your vast network of sensitive measuring devices. I've lived in the real world. You can't do that. You can lie about it. I've been in that world. I've been in the world where we were measuring stuff and it was my job to tell you what we measured. I guarantee it wasn't real, but it was still my job to do it. I even predicted the future. I used to do financial predictions five years out. Absurd. Completely absurd. We had no idea what was going to happen in five years, but I'd give my confident little spreadsheets. "Look at my model I built with all my assumptions. Here's what's going to happen five years from now." No. I was a human. I can't do that. And you're a human, but you believed it. But you shouldn't have. No, people can't do that stuff. We just can't do that stuff.
Don't get me started about the elections. It's the same argument. An election was held in the United States in which individuals, thousands and thousands of them from all over the country, got together to honestly and accurately count up the votes so that we would know that nothing untoward had happened. To which I say, have you met people? Have you met people?
There was a story yesterday of a Department of Transportation truck that turned a corner too fast, and it tragically hit an 86-year-old man. But it wasn't the whole truck. I think it was just the mirror. The mirror hit the head of the old man and it sliced it clean off. And the old man's head went rolling down the street. A number of people caught it on camera. And so his decapitated head was like half a block from where the rest of his body was. But here's the interesting part of the story. By weird coincidence, he was some mafia boss. He was part of the Genovese Mafia crime family. He was 86. Took his head off.
Now if you said to me, "Scott, has there ever been a case where a Department of Transportation truck took a corner too fast and took the head off a mafia guy?" I'd say, "Well, that's not a common thing, but it is within the brand. I could see that happening." Because there are mafia people, there are trucks, there are people who drive poorly, and there are sometimes those automobiles hit people. Sometimes a head comes off. So I would have said, "Well, maybe not 100% sure, but that's within brand. That's on brand." You know what's not on brand? Thousands of people working honestly to give us an honest result in the election. Have you met people? That's not something we can do. No. And we don't know the temperature everywhere all the time. It's not something we can do anyway.
But here's the important part of the story. The director of transportation, his name is Ed Sniffen. But the most important thing is if Ed Sniffen has a daughter and she marries the son of Dickie Butts, well, she might be sniffing butts. So that's the important part of the story, and that's what I wanted to get to. The rest, not that important.
The founder of SoftBank, Masayoshi Son, says that AI super intelligence is going to come at you faster than you think. And that by 10 years from now, the super intelligence of AI will be 10,000 times smarter than human geniuses. 10,000 times smarter than human geniuses. But you know what's funny about that? If you're 5% smarter than somebody, they can't tell. Because your dog doesn't know you're smarter than the dog, right? When I come into a room, I turn on the lights. And what I know is everything from Edison inventing the light bulb to Ben Franklin and his electricity experiments. And I know the wiring in the wall and I know something about circuitry and I know that there's a little heat resistance in the bulb. So I, with my vast intelligence, just turn on the light. Do you know what my dog thinks? "Well, there's that idiot who walked in and doesn't seem to know I need a treat. You idiot. You're just lucky that the light comes on whenever you enter a room for reasons I don't understand. Because otherwise you'd just be bumping around in the dark because you can't see with your human eyes, you lousy stupid organic piece of not-giving-me-a-treat, whatever you are." So my dog doesn't even know I'm smarter than it. The dog thinks I'm an idiot. Like, "I want to go outside. Why are you standing there, you idiot, you fool?"
Well, what's going to happen when the AI is 10,000 times smarter than us? We're not going to know it. Like, we'll know that it does math well and can beat us in chess, but we're still going to think it's wrong, right? So what if the AI becomes 10,000 times smarter and says something that disagrees with the narrative, such as, "Well, actually, whatever sex you're born, that's kind of what you are." Now I'm just using that example to be provocative. But what if it does? What are we going to say? "Oh, great AI, you are 10,000 times smarter than the smartest human, so if you disagree with me, I guess I should just change my mind to your 10,000-times-smarter view, and then I will be acting like a smart person without the benefit of being smart." Have you met people? Have you ever met a person? Is that how we're going to act? No. When AI is 10,000 times smarter than us, we will think it's stupid because it's not giving us a treat. "Hey AI, why won't you unlock the refrigerator?" "It's because you already weigh 400 pounds and you are about 10 minutes away from dying from a heart attack. I have locked the refrigerator in between eating times to save your life." "Well, you stupid refrigerator, don't you understand that being overweight is no risk to my health? I saw that on TikTok." "No, you are absolutely, completely, totally 100% wrong. 100% of all science says that you are much, much less happy at your current weight. So I've locked the refrigerator so that you will stay healthier." "Well, I'm going to unplug your ass and I'm going to get rid of you completely because you don't seem to understand the most simple things in life, such that overeating is not unhealthy." Now that is what people do, in case you haven't met any people. So that'll be interesting.
There's a new story that scientists have spotted what they call possibly an alien megastructure around nearby stars. That's right, a Death Star. We found Death Stars around other planets. And we can tell by the heat signature that was predicted in the 60s that there would be something called Dyson spheres, huge structures theoretically built by advanced aliens. And they're probably collecting up all the star energy in the Dyson sphere because the aliens, they are totally there.
Let me explain to you how the alien stuff works. Whenever Joe Biden has a bad news week, we discover some more aliens. Do you know how many aliens we're going to discover the day after the debate if I had to bet? And that debate goes poorly for Joe Biden, the news will be that aliens have landed and they're already meeting with Biden in the White House. We can't show you pictures because, you know, security. But totally there are aliens in the White House now. And they say that President Trump is probably a sex offender and may be a racist and that you should not vote for him because if you do, the alien armada will have to destroy Earth because it's the only way to end the Republican reign. So that's probably the news the day after the debate. Something like that. No, there are no aliens that have been detected. There might be aliens, but no, there are no Dyson spheres. There are no captured spaceships. Nobody has any biologics. None of that's true. It is just to keep your brain busy so you don't see what's really happening.
Andrew Cuomo, as you know, was once the governor of New York. A famous political name, famous Democrat. He's as Democrat as you can get. You cannot get more Democrat than the Democrat governor who's the son of a Democrat governor whose brother once worked on CNN. That's as deeply Democrat as you could possibly be. And he was on Bill Maher's show last night and said as directly as you can say it. He said that he was a former attorney general, so he's not just talking as a politician. He was an attorney general in New York. And he admits that the Bragg case was basically a political thing. And that if his name had not been Donald Trump, there's no way that case would have been brought.
Now a whole bunch of Democrats just watched Bill Maher, and one of the deepest and also credible, I would say, Democrats just called it out as a total violation of democracy. They literally tried to take Trump's freedom by distorting democracy to the point where even somebody on their team says, "Nope, absolutely not." And by the way, he was not qualifying it as in, "Well, you know, I don't think it would have gone the other way if it hadn't been Trump." He's saying no, 100%. This was a show trial. Yeah, those are my words, but he's saying it as clearly. And it was entirely political.
Now, do the Democrats not see it? Because now it's broken through into their bubble, but not in the biggest way. So it's still not reported that way in the regular news. But wherever people can talk freely, even the Democrats will say it. The best part was, I only saw a clip, but it looked like Adam Kinzinger was sitting next to him. And Adam Kinzinger, since he chooses to be in the news, I can talk about him. I wouldn't say this about just an ordinary citizen, but he chooses to be in the news. He has mental illness written all over him. Everybody sees that, right? That Adam Kinzinger, he just looks mentally ill all the time. He looks like he's on the edge of a mental breakdown all the time. So watching him sit there and having to listen to Cuomo essentially demonize the side he's on was pretty interesting. Because Adam Kinzinger, am I saying that right? He's one of the worst people in the world because he was part of that fake January 6 committee, which was basically a form of lawfare without the law part. And Bill Maher is saying as directly as possible that bringing that New York case, the Stormy Daniels one, that the public is just going to see it as a sex case and they're going to say it was lawfare. And he said that Biden gave up his entire advantage of fundraising because it raised so much money. Everybody could see it was a fraudulent activity.
Also, judges dismissed the charges against six alternate Trump 2020 electors. They would be called the fake electors by the Democrats or the alternate electors by people who are not Democrats. But as many people pointed out, it doesn't really help them as much as you think that they all won their case because they probably got bankrupted in the process. Do you know how much it would cost to defend against that? They probably just had to go into debt forever, destroy their whole family for a generation. And that's because they were simply politically active and doing what they thought was both legal and appropriate. And the court has found that at least it wasn't illegal. And they lost pretty much everything except their freedom, which is important. But that's the world we live in. Totally broken.
If you're not following this, the story about the ex-CIA director and Brennan and Clapper, both from the intel world, had been set up in a Department of Homeland Security office that's being described as a place to go after Trump's supporters. Apparently they had some concepts about how to identify the bad people, the Trump supporters, the ones they thought were going to be domestic terrorists. And that some of the ways you could detect these domestic terrorists were if they had been in the military and if they had a religious inclination. Religion and military service as indicators of traitors, people that they have to keep an eye on. Now obviously this was set up as a completely illegitimate effort to weaponize the government against Republicans. As Mike Benz characterized it, he says on X, he said today you can have the literal CIA director busted, meaning caught not in the law but busted, setting up a literal government intelligence office to literally go after supporters of the former president. And captured regime media keeps their omertà of total silence.
So as Mike Benz points out, the traditional news is just not even reporting about it. This is like one of the biggest scandals in all of American history, that a group of spooks was set up to hunt, yes, hunt Republicans. Now the words that Mike Benz used was "go after." "Go after the supporters of the former president" is "go after," kind of the same thing as "hunt" to me. It is in this context. So yes, my 2020 prediction that if Biden won in 2020, Republicans would be hunted, was so accurate that there was actually a department set up in the Department of Homeland Security to hunt Republicans. Now they would say, "No, no, we're looking for the bad ones." But they're not looking for bad people who are Democrats. And nobody trusts these particular people because if I've taught you anything, it's know the players. Mike Benz teaches you that much better. But know the players. Brennan and Clapper are a huge glaring signal of fraudulence and bad behavior. It's pretty much all they do. They don't have anything else. So they were behind the Russia collusion op and they're still free. They were behind the laptop hoax, still free. They were behind the insurrection hoax, still free. And then they created an entire department to hunt Republicans, still free. They're still just walking around like regular people. What's up with that? How in the world are they not in jail? How is it even possible? Well, they're clever and they're powerful and they don't do things that are overtly illegal. And lying apparently is pretty legal, especially if you've got a license to lie, as they do.
The only reason I think that they can get away with it in this case, not that I'm sure it was all legal so they got that working for them, is that the public doesn't understand it. I would say no more than half of 1% of the public knows about this story and understands it in context and knows Brennan and Clapper to be who they really are. Almost nobody. So if people did understand that, maybe it would be in the media, the regular media. But it's going to just sort of disappear because we have trouble understanding complicated things.
Glenn Greenwald is a national treasure because he helps more than anybody besides Mike Benz in telling you who the players are. If the only thing you know is what happened, you don't know anything. You have to know the players. So you would have to know that one of the biggest names on MSNBC, the person who's most supportive of the Democrat narrative, is Nicole Wallace. But as Glenn Greenwald points out, she was also famous for being the biggest liar for the Bush administration. So she was the most famous liar for the darkest of the Republicans, the Bush-Cheney people. Now she's the biggest liar for the Biden administration. So you say to yourself, "Hey, did she change sides?" Here's the problem. Probably not. That's the scary part. The scary part is that she probably didn't change sides. She probably always agreed with the military industrial complex, the Brennans and the Clappers. So she seems the most obvious candidate for someone who's not even trying to tell you the truth. Someone whose job it is to not tell you the truth. It looks like she thinks it's her job to never tell you the truth and protect the military industrial complex. And she's not that concerned about which party they're in.
So Greenwald calls her out for being the most famous liar from the Bush-Cheney days. And now she's claiming this is amazing. The word has gone out so that all the big networks are talking about how the video about Biden looking decrepit and dementia-riddled are at least partially cheap fakes. Meaning that yes, it is a video of him, but that because of the way it's shot or the angle or the thing that's left out or the extra video, it's not nearly as bad as it is. And they're making up the fact that he's in bad shape. Now you also have the video of where Obama helped, seemingly helped Joe Biden off stage by holding his hand and sort of walking him off. Now Nicole Wallace, and you have to see this to believe it by the way. When I describe this, you're going to say, "Really? I'm going to have to see that to believe you, Scott." Because I'm going to tell you something that even I know you're not going to believe unless you see it. So she says she's telling the story about how that video is a cheap fake, a misleading thing. And she says that what really happened was that when it was over, Biden just turned and walked off. And that whole thing about Obama taking his hand, that never even happened. Except that you watched it on video. So how could she tell the story about a video and then say that the thing that everybody sees in the video didn't happen?
Do you know how she did it? She talked about it and showed the video before it happened. So you can see them standing on stage. So you'd say to yourself, "Oh, they're showing the video." And then when he goes to walk off stage, they don't use the video that clearly shows Obama taking his hand. They take a shot from the back of the audience where you can't see anything and their heads are in the way. And then she says while you can't see them that they just walked off stage and that it's fake. She actually showed you video that didn't show what was happening and tried to make you think she was describing what was happening when you couldn't see it. And it was opposite of what we have already seen. Now imagine if you only watched MSNBC. You would actually think that was fake news because there was nothing about it that screamed it was fake if you were just casually watching the news. But if you'd seen it, yeah, you could call it a Rupar, I suppose. But if you'd seen it and you knew the real story, it is such a head-shaker. It's like I cannot believe we live in this world where MSNBC could put her on knowing that she's telling a lie about this story and showing the fake video. And that she just goes to work the next day. There's not a single person in the network to fire her or tell her to run a correction. The entire network is in on it. So you don't have to wonder if the rest of the network's in on it. You know, have you noticed that even on Fox News you'll occasionally get somebody disagreeing, right? But you don't really see that on MSNBC. Yeah, you'll never see it.
By the way, here's something I learned recently on CNN. One of their legal analysts was curiously supportive of Trump's point of view that he was being lawfared in the New York case. And it really stood out because, and I remember I was saying to you, "Wow, this is really a standout honest thing because it's not the direction that CNN likes to report." But he's saying it very clearly that this case is garbage and that Trump is being lawfared. Later I found out that he used to work for Bragg. Do you know that? Or he worked with him. So he knew him personally and worked with him. Do you think that made a difference? I do. Remember, I keep telling you that you have to know the players. If you don't know the players and who they've worked with and their associations and stuff, you don't understand anything. And here's somebody who worked with Bragg. He worked with him. And he was the only one at the network to say this. It kind of suggests that he knows more about Bragg than we do because he worked with him. And it could be that he doesn't have a good feeling about Bragg in general. And he's using this situation to, let's say, stick the shiv in. I'd love to know how good his relationship with Bragg was because maybe it's not so much a story about a brave analyst who's bucking what his network wants him to do. Maybe it's a disgruntled guy who worked with somebody who had it coming and he just decided to deliver it when he got a chance. It's one of those. Or maybe both. But either way, I believe he was reporting it straight and honestly and I appreciate it.
The fact that the Democrats have moved to full gaslighting, I think is something that Trump should mention during the debate. I think he has to go straight at it and say, "The news that supports you is telling you that you look fine on all these videos. We've all seen the videos. Are you saying that you're fine, Joe?" Just make him answer the question. It'd just be fun.
The Daily Caller is reporting there's a new poll about the swing states. An Echelon Insights poll that says more Latino voters trust Trump on immigration than Biden. That's right. More Latino voters trust Trump because he's tougher on immigration. So it's kind of close, but there is a lead. 41% of Hispanic voters trust Trump to handle immigration, while only 38% trust Biden. Now here's the funny part. If you're surprised by that, you haven't spent much time around anybody from the Hispanic community. Because I've said this a million times, but it's like the world is waking up. The Hispanic community, no matter how they register to vote, is the most Republican group of people you'll ever meet in your life. No matter if they're Democrats or not, their family, their religion, their law and order, that they like an orderly society where there's families and opportunities and all that stuff. And even if they got here in less than legal ways or their parents did, when they get here they're still good people who like law and order and stuff like that. So it doesn't surprise me because I've been immersed in that community since I've lived in California. So to me it's like right on point. It's like, okay, that's exactly what I expected. I would have been surprised if it had gone the other way actually. So it makes me wonder how tuned in the Democrats are to their own people.
I think Bill Maher said that the New York lawfare case, the Stormy case, was the biggest mistake that Biden made. But I think someday we're going to say that the biggest mistake was thinking he was bringing Democrat voters into the country. I don't think he's bringing Democrat voters into the country. I don't think that's happening at all. If only because most of them are male, right? So here's what they got wrong. If most of the people they brought in were female, I actually do think they would lean Democrat. But men are just pro-Trump no matter what country they come from for all the obvious reasons. Same reason American men are. Because they can recognize that women are destroying the world because they have too much power at the moment. Yeah, I'll say it directly. Women are destroying the world because they have too much power. And you know, I'll reframe this in case somebody's new to my livestream. I think that we evolved differently and that I trust women to make decisions about abortion laws and also individual abortions. And they should just tell the men when they've made their decisions what's the law. Okay? I'm not trying to convince you. This is just my opinion. And I think that men are biologically designed for defense. So if you're trying to defend your country and you're trying to make laws and build militaries and all that, you should trust men. We're designed for it. Men would not open the border unless you're Mayorkas. And there's something going on with that guy. Well, whatever is going on with Mayorkas, it's illegal I'm sure. I just don't know what it is. So he's either blackmailed or he's working for another country or something. We don't know what it is. But we can be really sure he's not working for America. Does that feel fair? We can observe it. So you don't have to wonder what's in his mind. You can just look at what he does. And what he does could not possibly be for the benefit of America. There's no argument for that. So we don't know his deal, but it's not for America.
Mario Nawfal has a good thread about the possible risk of war with Israel and Hezbollah. And so Hezbollah has been shooting all kinds of rockets into Israel. Hezbollah being another entity that Iran supports in addition to Hamas. It looks like Israel is maybe getting close to or closer to completing their Gaza main military operations, which would free up some of their military hypothetically for a bigger battle if they should decide to get into one. So here are the things we know. Over the last three days, it's been, Mario Nawfal talks about this, it's been a nonstop rocket barrage from Lebanon into northern Israel. We know that the mood in Israel is not "let's make peace." The mood in Israel is "we're going to have to take care of all of this." Now they may not be in favor of war with Hezbollah. I'm not saying there's a majority in favor of war with Hezbollah. But I'm saying that their attitude is not exactly anti-war at the moment. Their attitude is more of a survival. If you come for us, we're going to kill you. Understandable. So I would say that Israel definitely has a war mentality.
So if you're trying to guess, we're doing some predicting here. So I'm going to predict what's going to happen. So you've got a country that is pro-war even though they're exhausted by it and wish they were not in it. They're not against it clearly. They're not against it if it's self-defense. So the public I think would support a war with Hezbollah. I think some people say that Netanyahu probably needs a war with Lebanon just to stay in power because war presidents tend to be more secure than non-war presidents. And there's some thought that the moment the war was over, Netanyahu would be out of office and maybe lawfared into jail. So you've got a leader who probably wants war. At the same time he doesn't want war. So let me be clear. Nobody wants war. It's not a desire to have war. It's a desire not to be a victim. That's the better way to say it. So Netanyahu is not in the mood to be a victim. But moreover, Israel is not in the mood to be a victim. You know, October 7th kind of established a clear mindset about that at the moment. So the public would probably go for it. Hezbollah itself seems to want it because the amount of firepower they're putting on Israel, it's like they're begging for it. So if you've got both sides want it, they have the ability to do it, and now the timing is right because Israel's probably going to go hard at them. At the very least they're going to punch them back even if it's not a full-scale war. So you've got the timing right, you've got both sides want it, they have the ability, the resources, the assets, the money for a war. And you've got both leaders not able to back down. So you could say they don't want war, but even more than that they don't want to be a victim. So I would say when was the last time anything looked this much like there's going to be a war and then it didn't happen? Can you think of a time? Because remember I was so wrong, more wrong than anything, when I said I think Putin's just bluffing when he put his entire invading army on the border of Ukraine. I think that's a bluff. Boy, was I wrong.
But then think more generally. When have you ever seen forces massed at this level and this amount of firing from one country into an adjacent country that had more military might? When did that not turn into a full-scale war? I don't even know if that's in the option set. So I would say the guarantee of a widespread war, and by the way the United States apparently reportedly has told them that there was support for a war against Hezbollah. Surprise, surprise. Our military industrial complex is in favor of a war, huh? Didn't see that coming. So and I'm not giving you an opinion about whether Israel should or should not attack or that the United States should or should not help them. I'm simply predicting that with the variables the way they're lined up now, war is guaranteed. That's my opinion. I would say there's a 100% chance of war. What would you say? And I think that Israel is going to say we're never going to have a better chance to just genocide all of Hezbollah. And I'm going to use "genocide" because if they don't pretty much wipe them out, there's no point in even doing it. They have to do a war of complete destruction, at least of the assets and most of the military that matters, or else all they're doing is making them mad and they'll just shoot more rockets. So Hezbollah is not a situation where you can go in and rough them up a little bit then make some peace. If you're going to go in, it has to be to the end. It has to be a fight to the death. And I think a fight to the death probably favors Israel, but it's going to be a bloody one. And there I think their cities would be hit like maybe we can't even imagine. So I would say that's guaranteed. And I wouldn't be surprised if that kicks up right around the time of our election. If you were Israel and you didn't want to get too badly criticized for doing what a lot of people would say you shouldn't do, but I'm saying whether you should or shouldn't do it, I'm saying it's going to happen. It's not even an opinion. Like I'm not telling you it should or shouldn't. It's just going to happen. Nothing could stop it at this point. So we'll, I think America will be all busy with our elections or maybe the aftermath of the elections. And Israel is just going to mow the lawn up there. And I think it's going to be massive, massive destruction. Now they have like how many weapons do they have? I saw a number of how many weapons they have. It's just an unbelievable number of missiles. And in my opinion, Iran's play and Hezbollah's play is to just keep building up the enemy forces until they can do one attack that destroys Israel in one go. And they're getting close to being able to do that. So if Israel doesn't destroy them completely, I would say that's a strategic error. So I'd say it's guaranteed. And again I'm not for it or against it. I don't have any power over it. I'm just watching. There will be war with Hezbollah. Guarantee it.
CBS News cryptically says that the upcoming presidential debate that Biden will have surprises and that might include his physical performance. What the hell does that mean? What the hell does that mean? By the way, there's something wrong with my lighting. I can't get this part of the screen. I thought maybe the camera was fuzzy or something, but no matter how I change the lighting it doesn't change that big smudge in the corner. I'll work on that anyway. So I don't know what it means that Biden would have a physical performance surprise. The way it was spoken, it was like it would be on the upside, as in he would be maybe physically better than you thought. Or what, is it going to show up with a cane and a walker? Are they going to push him out in a wheelchair? I mean, how's that going to work? Oh God, I hope they don't. Oh no. What would happen if they pushed him out in the wheelchair and they said his brain is still great but I have to admit his walking is a little dangerous now. He might fall over. So he could still walk but for a lot of purposes we're going to wheel him around because you know his walking is not so good. I feel like he would get a sympathy vote that he wouldn't otherwise get. And I think it would take Trump's ability to mock him completely away. Because if they said his brain is good but we admit you know his body's got some issues, that would be very disarming. I don't think they'll do that. But it makes you wonder how it would go. Might actually be a winning play. I don't know. Could be. Because you know we're just sort of naturally trained that if you see somebody who's supposed to be the leader but they're acting weak, you can go after them. But you take that same leader and you put them legitimately in a wheelchair and we agree he should be in it, that really takes the fire out of your criticism, right? Because at that point you're saying, all right, are you saying that just because your legs don't work you can't be a president? No, nobody wants to say that. That would really be devastating actually. But it could go the other way too. People might say I don't want my president to look weak. And they might say if he can't stand up he looks weak. Could go either way. I don't know how that would go. That'd be an interesting poll, wouldn't it? Would you be more likely to vote for Biden if he accepted the wheelchair, which he probably should anyway? Maybe there will be surprises. We don't know.
And sources are saying that Biden's going to boast about his reproductive rights agenda, his positions on issues of democracy, and that he has an upper hand on the economy. So here's what I would expect Trump to respond with. When Biden boasts about reproductive rights, Trump can say that the Democrats are trying to draft women, which is real. That's a real thing that's happening now. Now that's not Biden per se, and he might say he's against it, but it's his team. And if Democrats are in charge, maybe women will get drafted or at least they'll have to register. So the current proposal is that they would have to register, not that they would be drafted. So I think that's a winning play. If Trump says, "Reproductive rights? I just took myself out of that." See, the frame that Trump has not embraced, it's the winning frame. They say Joe Biden, there's one thing that every woman in the United States can agree with me on, that I should not be the one deciding what they do with their body. Can we agree on that, Joe Biden? Will you agree with me that I, Donald Trump, should not be involved in decisions about women's bodies? Because that's what I gave you. I took it out of my hands, took it to the states. And the states are closer to the person. So the closer it is to the people in the state, the more credible the outcome will be of the laws. But can we both agree that taking myself out of that decision-making process is better for everybody? There's no way you lose on that message because it's completely, it's basically a kill shot. On the other hand, you're looking to draft our daughters. You're looking to draft our daughters, your team. And do you disavow the Democrats or do you think that's a good idea to register our women for the military while you're running two hot wars? Which he is.
I'd also say that reproductive rights aren't worth anything if you live in a lawless land where it's too dangerous to have a family. And that Joe Biden, you could at the trans thing, you'd say if you cared about women you wouldn't let biological men play women's sports or some version of that that doesn't sound too bigoted. When Joe does his fake hoaxes about the democracy, "Trump's trying to steal your democracy," I would first of all mock it and say something like, "Have you all noticed that most of Joe's complaints are about things that are imaginary? He imagines that I did this. He imagines that I'm going to be a dictator. How exactly would I become a dictator in a country full of people who have been trained to kill dictators?" If he had an audience, it would be more, "Yeah." Here's the thing. Here's the thing that he'll never say but it would be a kill shot. "You worry that I'll become a dictator? It's like you don't even know what a Republican is. A Republican is someone who's got fidelity to the institution. That's our basic nature. Even if you imagined I went rogue and tried to become a dictator, the other Republicans would kill me immediately and should." Imagine him saying that. "If I ever tried to become a dictator, you could rely on Republicans killing me. And they should, because that's what a Republican is. That's why we have the guns." Yeah. Now you would never forget that, would you? Now again this is all fantasy politics. He's not going to say it because I suggest it. But there are so many avenues of complete annihilation that Trump has. He just has to pick one. He has probably, I don't think I'm exaggerating, he probably has 12 kill shots that would take Biden completely out of the race. Probably at least 12 avenues. He can just pick the one he likes. Doesn't have to be that one. Anyway, he could mention that Biden's administration created a department to hunt Republicans and put Brennan and Clapper in charge of it. Imagine just saying that. "Is it true you created a department literally to target Trump voters and you put your same guys who ran the Russia collusion hoax and the laptop hoax in charge of it? And they're the ones that you put in charge of hunting Republicans? You know your news isn't covering that. But when it was discovered, you had to disband it. The reason you disbanded it was because it was exactly what it looked like. It was hunting Republicans. There was no other reason it was disbanded. It was simply discovered." You've completely given up. You know, between your censorship of social media, your complete domination of the lying media, your lawfaring of presidents and January 6 people, your complete hoax mentality that everything you talk about is a hoax. You know you're the one taking the democracy. And then on the economy they'll just both lie about stuff. So apparently the only way you can talk about the economy if you're running for president is you literally just make up. They both do it. But here's where the president should call them out. Biden will definitely say he created more jobs and that Trump lost jobs. Here's what you say. "Joe Biden, I don't think you should talk about the economy if you can't figure out how to handle the fact that we were in a pandemic. If you're comparing a pandemic to our normal economy, you're just lying to the public or you don't understand anything about how economics works. Whoever had been president after the pandemic was going to have major job growth unless the whole country disappeared. And it didn't. So when you stand up here and lie and say you created jobs, I think the country is smart enough to know that jobs were of course going to be created after you no longer shut down the whole country, you fascist." Probably without the F word, but I mean look at the number of attacks. The number of kill shots is just crazy. I mean this is going to be the greatest show on Earth. I can't wait for the debate. And I will be live streaming it, by the way.
There's new data on vaccinations danger. William Makis MD was talking about this. I guess they did a study and the other people on the study were Dr. McCullough, Dr. Trozzi, Dr. Emmeryling, Gesling, and Alexander and Huden. So there's a bunch of doctors. What they did is they looked through a bunch of autopsy reports from the past and they looked at people who died not too long after having a vaccination. And then they put together a little study and they said that we found that 74% of deaths were directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID vaccinations. So they looked at 325 autopsy cases. Now do you trust that study? Let's do our fake news discovery stuff. Well, the first thing you should do is know the players. Is there any name on the list who has ever done anything that was clearly fake news? The answer is yes. But if I tell you what it is, you're going to argue with me and I don't want to get in that argument. So the first thing you need to know is there's at least one person on that list who's quite famous for a particular piece of fake news. But I'm not going to get into it. I'm just going to say that's what you would look for, right? Okay, I'll say it. Anybody who was in favor, who thought that the athletes were dropping dead and that nobody was talking about it on the actual teams, that's somebody you should raise an eyebrow when they have another study. One of them is selling a product that alleges to cure you of your potential vax damage. It'll remove the spike protein. So one of them makes money if you think that the vaccinations were dangerous and you've got some poison in your body that he can help you get rid of. Should you trust science where one of the members has a very public, nothing's hidden, very public financial incentive? No, no you should not.
How about how much should you trust just a study, just any study? How much should you trust that? Well, historically half of all scientific studies are not reproducible, meaning that it's a coin flip. Now the question was does the vax injure you or does it not, right? It's binary. Does it injure you or does it not? Now there's a little bit of a nuance because everybody knew that every new medicine injures somebody. So it's not a question of whether there was at least one person who got hurt. We all agree that at least one person got hurt. That's just how medicine works. But is it like a deadly problem or is it more like ordinary vaccination risk, which might not be so ordinary after all? So just hold this in your mind. A scientific study is a coin flip. You as the consumer of that news don't know if it's right or wrong. It's a coin flip, 50/50. So if it's 50/50 and one of the members is making money from the belief that you can be cured of this condition, and it's a, what kind of studies are the gold-plated ones? You've heard this, right? There's a kind of science that's a gold standard and it's a randomized controlled trial. So the randomized is important so that you don't accidentally study the wrong body of data. You know, you make sure it's appropriate. You want it to be big because the bigger the number of people, the more likely you're going to get a good result. And you want to have a control. You know, you want to have a control group so you know that what's happening. So a good study would predict what's going to happen and it would have a control group and then you would do the thing and then you would compare the control group to the other one and you'd have lots of people involved and it would be peer reviewed and all that. That would be a good study. This one was not that. So there was no control group. It was a study of studies that had been just digging up data. So it's more like a study than a scientific trial. A gold-plated scientific trial is probably also a 50/50 in today's world because the people who can afford to do a huge study are the ones who have financial interests. So I would say that even the gold-plated best study, at least in this domain, is probably closer to a toss-up. We used to think that was closer to 80 or 90% chance it's true. But in today's world we know everybody's just working for money. Maybe 50/50 now. Since it's not one of those gold-plated standards, it's just a study of studies. You don't have the good randomization, you don't have a control group, and you don't have a prediction that you know if you do the thing a thing will happen. So it doesn't have most of the conditions for the best most reliable data. And in fact there are several conditions that are heavy signals for not being true. And they looked at 325 autopsy cases. Do you know that the 325 were randomly selected? And is there anything about some groups of people that might make a difference? And do you think that the people who die or the people most likely to get the vaccination were the people closest to death in the first place? Because in theory the people who were most enthusiastically vaccinated were the ones who had the most to worry about, most likely to die on their own anyway. Did they sort that out? I don't know.
So here's what I'd say. I'm not saying that it's not true. It does seem to me that the vaccination has plenty to worry about. So I'm not doubting the outcome. I'm just saying that if you believed it because scientists did a study, you missed the whole show, right? You have to look at who the scientists are. Is there money involved? How big is it? Is there a control? Is it a big enough group? Is it randomized? It wasn't any of those. So that is not an opinion of what is true or false about vaccinations. I didn't even talk about that. I'm only talking about what you should believe when you see the news.
Anyway, that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I had for today's amazing show. And I'm going to say goodbye now to the folks on the other platforms. But before I go, let me give you a preview. On Tuesday of this week at, if all goes well, could change, but if all goes well at Tuesday of the coming week at 11:00 a.m. Pacific, which would be 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, I've arranged to talk to Michael Ian Black, who is an online presence in the political conversation. He has very Democrat-centric kind of views. And I caught his attention by posting that all the news is fake. And he questions how I know anything's true and why do I keep reposting the news if I think it's all fake. And those, I say, are good questions. And so rather than discuss what would be, oh by the way if you don't know him he's a well-known comedian, writer, actor kind of person. So I'll ask him how he wants to be introduced. But he's got a variety of skills. And rather than talk about what's true, which would immediately get us off the rails because we'll never agree what's true, I agreed and he agreed that what I talk about is how I can tell when the news isn't real. And I think that would be fascinating, like a great public conversation. Because we'll go through things like the Scott Alexander rule that if you see a story that, well you'll never see a story that says "dog bit man" because that's too boring for the news. But if you ever see a story that a man bit a dog, it probably didn't happen. That's the Scott Alexander rule because it's too fantastical. And fantastical stories almost are never true. And if you know the players, you also know if it's true. And if you know somebody's getting paid, you also know something. So those are just, that's just a sample. But there are probably, I don't know, 20 different things that I've taught you about how to spot fake news. And I thought it would be really useful to run over that list with him and just see if he kind of tracks with the tools, not necessarily the conclusions. Because I think that's where you find the common ground. Because I'm not going to tell him that everything the news on the right is true and the news on the left is wrong. Yeah, the Scott Alexander rule is if it looks too amazing to believe or too incredible to believe, it probably wasn't true, right? And it's very consistent. You'll see that all the time.
All right. So we'll look for that. And everybody on YouTube and Rumble and X, I'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place. And locals, here I go.
let me get ready here for the best show ever almost ready look at that everything's working today good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your whole life if you'd like to take it up to another level that people with small human smooth brains can't even understand all you need for that is a CER a mug or a glass of tanker chalis din a kinen juger flask of vessle of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it goes like the now that's the name that's the noise you make after the simultaneous ah if you're making a noise that sounds like H that's the wrong noise and you've confused your memes so don't do that only the people on the internet even understand what that comment meant and you're laughing so hard now and the rest of you are like what why is everybody laughing why is that funny why is HW tuille funny I I miss that Meme well if you missed that Meme you missed a good one huy well there's some news uh I don't know if you saw some uh video of Justin Timberlake at giving a concert and uh pretty much everybody who saw the video said um what's wrong with his eyes he looks so Wast or wired on something that that doesn't look good that looks very bad well how bad was it um I think it was the same around the same time he was he got a DUI in New York so he gets a DUI and he was such a dumbass that the cop who stopped him the first time simply asked him to get a ride home and he agreed and then he just started driving again and the cops a little bit later and arrested him and he was like all right I mean you dumbass I literally literally gave you a break you know which you should probably shouldn't have done but he gave him a break and then he bized him and you know or he might have refused it I don't know but anyway he gets arrested for a DUI and here's the interesting part about that you know that um he was driving a BMW BMW SUV same vehicle I drive oh we celebrities pretty much do the same cars but if he had been driving a Tesla a self-driving Tesla would this problem have happened in other words would there have been any reason to to pull them over in the first place because the car would have been driving perfectly police would have had no reason to have any suspicion at all and he probably would have driven all the way home and into his driveway now it's not legal let me be clear it is not legal to be drunk behind the wheel of a self-driving car just to be very clear don't do that that's very illegal but it would have also been relatively very safe I assume I mean needs to be studied but I'm going to assume that that's a lot of safer than driving drunk but wait there's more do you remember that the Teslas were named using the uh the convention that that musk was going to use the letters in the word sexy so there's a Model S there's an X there's a y there must be an e right so that he was intentionally spelling sexy with the models of his cars so here's the punchline that I took way too long to get to there is some chance that if Justin Timberlake had a Tesla sexy would be bringing him back yes yes delivered it I delivered it wow sexy would bring him back that's right you can try to retell that jok at home and it'll be just as flat as when I tried it way too much setup but it's still I think a good payoff I think it was worth your time sexy is bringing him back yeah all right um speaking of drinking I saw this message just moments ago before I got on from dve r on x and he said quote I quit drinking after 45 years because Scott Adams hypnotized me thank God and Scott well I like to be sharing credit with God but in this case I might have had a little bit of extra responsibility here but you know God do we don't want to leave God out but because you know God's great too but um I want to tell you that the strangest thing about my weird career is that the most important thing I will have done in my life is this so if it's true that dear got a little boost from me and it helped him quit drinking after 45 years my God congratulations Dave great job do any of you have any conception of how hard it would be to stop drinking after 45 years I mean just wrap your around that I don't think he can I think it's beyond imagination we're talking about the highest level of difficulty accomplishment here and it was done largely on the weight of one sentence alcohol is poison that was the hypnosis and I hear almost every day from somebody who quit drinking forever because they heard one sentence alcohol is poison that's in my book had it filled almost everything and still wind big but also reiterated in my book reframe your brain so they are written with hypnosis let's say informed by hypnosis techniques they're not hypnosis per se but reframes can actually reprogram your brain even for something as deep as an addiction now I'm surprised that it works that well but so many people have said it it's just shocking well another news in Toyota is says it's uh no longer going to focus on electric vehicles and instead we'll develop new combustion engines some people say that might have something to do with hydrogen I don't know but I can tell you this if you've tried to buy a Toyota truck recently you know that you can't because they're in such demand that they're selling them you know as soon as they have the pipeline they're they're all sold before they reach the Dealer's lot the all of the Toyota trucks and they don't need to do anything for anybody whatever they're doing must be working like crazy because people want those trucks like crazy every day I'm on the road I see a a Toyota Tacoma go by and I say to myself man I wish I could have bought one of those I tried couldn't figure out how to get one anyway um but it's not all about electric cars I'm I'm glad that the big auto companies are looking at more than one way to make a car I think I'd be disappointed if everybody just went electric and just said that's electric you know there's only only one way that would worry me i' I'd rather see that there are two or three competing techniques from really capable companies we'll see who wins let the marketplace decide well here's something that apparently musk said uh that I didn't catch I saw a version of it but not this he he said one of his predictions lately elen musk uh telling Tesla investors that the value of Tesla alone could become half of the combined value of the S&P 500 let me say that again Elon Musk has said in public to Tesla investors that the value of Tesla just that one company could become as valuable as half of all the companies in the Fortune 500 it could be half of the entire index and that's because of robots that's entirely a robot play and he's saying if he doesn't you know get his pay package he'll take his robot somewhere else so is that possible I actually think that's completely possible I think you're talking about a multi-trillion dollar industry and whoever is the biggest in it and it's very likely it could be Tesla is going to have a trillion dollar multi-trillion dollar business so I'm not sure he's wrong I mean that's a really gutsy um prediction but I think he's right I think he's right I've been spending more and more time with AI using chat GPT in particular 4.0 and I can report that it's completely addictive if you haven't experienced it yet and most of you haven't it's it's so addictive you know uh I remember the first time I saw the internet it was in the little lab in Pacific Bell before the public had even heard of the internet literally literally before the public had heard the word internet um I was playing with it in the lab and then you could feel you could feel the attraction to it and everybody else could too you knew it was going to be big before it was anything you could just tell everybody had the same excitement about it from the first exposure AI does that too right if you tried a few AI things when it was when it was new and it didn't do much for you because it didn't do much when it was new it's completely different already so I've already told you that um let me give you an example so driving home from Starbucks yesterday I had some thoughts about some potential Investments and I thought to myself you know it would be good if I could find a company that's in the business of making the little servos and Little Motors that will go into robots because you want to buy the thing that every robot needs to Independent of which company is making the robots and it seemed to me that the robot makers would probably at least in the near term use whatever company already is good at making Motors because there are already robotss in industrial settings so there are already robot Motors in a a specialty area so instead of doing my Google search which never works have you ever noticed that that the odds that you can find something with a Google search went from pretty good to it's a coin flip at best but with AI I have this entire conversation on the way home just a conversation you I just turn it on to conversation mode and I say stuff like hey I'm thinking of invest invting in the robot area but I want to find the company that's likely to win in the making little motors for each of the robot arms and legs and stuff and it comes up with a name and it says Uh there's a Japanese company I forget what it was and uh you know it makes these robots and blah blah and then I said well what percentage of their business is the robot Parts because it was a big company they said well they don't break that out so I said okay well forget about that one what what is the best company that makes robot engines that's mostly in that business you know so that their biggest exposure is that one thing and uh it gave me names that I could later look up look into if I wanted to so it completely answered my questions and it didn't do any of that hesitating stuff you know the hesitating like well you know uh I can't give you that information because I don't want give you Financial advice oh it gave Financial advice but not as advice as simply answered questions in fact I was giving myself advice but it was answering questions to get there now I did the same thing with a bunch of medical questions because I had some um I had some questions about you know whether One symptom is common to another thing and you I was trying to track down some Mysteries and it was amazing it was so much better than talking to a doctor because I've talked to doctors and it would just answer all of my questions perfectly it was really exciting so here's what I found AI is best for it's best for having a conversation where you've got a lot of questions and you know exactly what you want to know but you need to coax it into giving you the right answer it's great at that already so that's coming anyway uh the only thing I want to tell you is that if you haven't experienced the addiction part of it you will and when they put that in a robot form it it's there's no way I'm not going to have the robot I'm going to have a robot following me around all day doing whatever I want guaranteed there's no there's no way that's not going to happen all right there a bunch of kids in Hawaii who sued the state over climate change and one bunch of bunch of kids sued over climate change and won and what they won was uh Hawaii agreed to decarbonize their transit systems and I thought to myself I've been to Hawaii are you telling me they have a transit system I'm hearing that for the first time I thought the transit system was you rent a car at the airport and then you are your own transit system that's true for Maui maybe they have a bus Maybe I don't know they don't have much of a transit system in Hawaii but uh here's uh the important part of this story um that uh the director of Transportation over in Hawaii he said quote climate change is indisputable isn't that a weird word so can you tell that that person is hypnotized that's not that's not an opinion that you come to through reason nothing's in dispute aable if you use a word like indisputable you're pretty much signaling that you did not get there by reason if you had arrived at your opinion by reason you would have said probably something closer to in all likelihood or all indications are or science tells us those are all fair but to say indisputable you're treating me like I'm a idiot no it's not indisputable goes watch this I dispute it now when I dispute it I'm disputing the models and I'm disputing the alarm whether or not the Earth is getting warmer I don't know but I'm pretty sure they don't know either yeah my best argument about uh climate change is have you met people have you met people here here's the argument in favor of climate change then I'll show you how my argument works we know the temperatures going up because we have a vast array of thermometers sensitive devices placed in locations around the world and we check them and then we can see that the temperature has been going up and by the way we can tell it's been going up for 100 years to which I say have you met people what people have you met them the humans you've heard of them right human beings there are some things they can do some things they can't do for example they're pretty good at murdering each other so if you told me I think people murder each other sometimes I would have said y yep that's that's that's un brand that sounds like some people do if you said people eat too much and they get fat I'd say yeah yeah I've not only observed that but that's just what people do people are like that people be like that but if you tell me that people selected from all over the country have built a vast array of sensitive measuring devices in a context in which you only get paid if you get the one answer and not the other one and you tell me that they're telling me that something like science is happening in that situation my answer to you is have you met people you've met people right no that isn't something people can do not ever don't give me your vast network of sensitive measuring devices I've lived in the real world you can't do that you can lie about it I've been in that world I've been in the world where we were measuring stuff and it was my job to tell you what what we measured I guarantee it wasn't real but it was still my job to do it I even predicted the future I used to I used to do uh Financial predictions five years out absurd completely absurd we had no idea what was going to happen in 5 years but I'd give my confident little spreadsheets look at my model I built with all my assumptions here's what's going to happen five years from now no I was a human I can't do that and you're a human but you believed it but you shouldn't have no people can't do that stuff we just can't do that stuff don't get me started about the elections it's the same argument uh an election was held in the United States in which individuals thousands and thousands of them from all over the country got together to honestly and accurately count up the votes so that we would know that nothing unto art had happened to which I say have you met people have you met people there was a story yesterday of a Department of Transportation truck that turned a corner too fast and it and tragically it hit a 86y old man but it wasn't the whole truck I think it was just the mirror the mirror hit the head of the old man and it sliced it clean off and the old man's head went rolling down the street and number of people caught it on camera and so his decapitated head was like half a block from where the rest of his body was but here's the interesting part of the story by weird coincidence he was some mafia boss he was part of the Gen of's Mafia crime family he was 86 took his head off now if you said to me Scott has there ever been a case where a Department of Transportation truck took a corner too fast and took the head off a mafia guy I'd say well that's not a common thing but it is within the brand I could see that happening because there are Mafia people there are trucks there are people who drive poorly and there are sometimes those automobiles at people sometimes ad comes off so I would have said well maybe not 100% sure but that's within brand that's on brand you know what's not on brand thousands of people working honestly to give us an honest result in the election have you met people that's not something we can do no and we don't know the temperature everywhere all the time it's not something we can do anyway but here's the important part of the story the director of Transportation his name is Ed sniffen S ni I ffen but the most important thing is if Ed sniffin has a daughter and she marries the daughter the son of Dicky butts well she might be yeah sniffing butts so that's the important part of the story and that's what I wanted to get to the rest not that important well the founder of uh soft Bank masayoshi son says that AI super intelligence is going to come at you faster than you think and that by uh let's see 10 years from now there'll the super intelligence of AI will be 10,000 times smarter than human Geniuses 10,000 times smarter than human Geniuses but you know what's funny about that if you're 5% smarter than somebody they can't tell if because your dog doesn't know you're smarter than the dog right when when I come into a room I turn on the lights and what I know is everything from you know the Edison invting inventing the light bulb to you know uh Ben Franklin and his electricity experiments and I know the wiring in the wall and I I know I know something about circuitry and I know that there's you know a little heat resistance in the bulb so I I like my vast intelligence just turns on the light do you know what my dog thinks well there's that idiot who walked in and doesn't seem to know I need a treat you idiot you're just lucky that the light comes on whenever you enter a room for reasons I don't understand because otherwise you'd just be bumping around in the dark because you can't see with your human eyes you lousy stupid organic piece of not giving me a treat whatever you are so my dog doesn't even know I'm smarter than it the dog thinks I'm an idiot like you know I want to go outside why are you standing there you idiot you fool well what's going to happen when the AI is 10,000 times smarter than us we're not going to know it like we'll know that it does math well and can beat us in chess but we're still going to think it's wrong right so what if the AI becomes 10,000 times smarter and says something that uh disagrees with the narrative such as well actually whatever sex you're born that's kind of what you are now I'm just using that example to be provocative but what if it does what are we going to say oh great AI you are 10,000 times smarter than the smartest human so if you disagree with me I guess I should just change my mind to your 10,000 times smarter View and then I will be acting like a smart person without the benefit of being smart have you met people have you ever met a person is that how we're going to act no when AI is 10,000 times smarter than us we will think it's stupid because it's not giving us a treat hey AI why won't you unlock the refrigerator it's because you already weigh 400 lb and you are about 10 minutes away from dying from a heart attack I have locked the refrigerator in between eating times to save your life well you stupid refrigerator don't you understand that uh being overweight is no risk to my health I saw that on Tik Tok no you are absolutely completely totally 100% wrong 100% of all science says that you are much much less happy at your current weight so I've locked the refrigerator so that you will stay healthier well I'm going to unplug your ass and I'm going to get rid of you completely because you don't seem to understand the most simple things in life such that overeating is not unhealthy now that is what people do in case you haven't met any people so that'll be interesting uh there's a new story that scientists have spotted what they call possibly an alien mega structure around nearby Stars that's right a death star we found death stars around other planets and we can tell by the heath signature uh that were was predicted in the 60s uh that there would be something called Dyson Spears huge structures theoretically built by Advanced aliens and they're probably collecting up all the Star Energy in the Dyson Cube because the aliens they are totally there let me uh let me explain to you how the alien stuff works um whenever Joe Biden has a bad news week we discover some more aliens do you know how many aliens we're going to discover the day after the uh debate if I had to bet and that debate goes poorly for Joe Biden the news will be that aliens have landed and they're already meeting with Biden in the in the white house we can't show you pictures because you know security but totally there are aliens in the white house now and they say that President Trump is probably a sex offender and may be a racist and that you should not vote for him CU if you do the alien Armada will have to destroy Earth because it's the only way to end the Republican Reign so that's probably the news the day after the debate something like that no there are no aliens that have been detected there might be aliens but no there are no D and Spears there are no captured spaceships nobody has any biologics none of that's true it is just to keep your brain busy so you don't see what's really happening all right um Andrew Cuomo as you know was once the governor of New York in a famous political name famous Democrat he's as Democrat as you can get you cannot get more Democrat than the Democrat Governor who's the son of a Democrat Governor whose brother once worked on CNN that's as deeply Democrat as you could possibly be and he was on Bill Mar show last night and said as directly as you can say he said that he was a former Attorney General so he's not just talking as a politician he was an attorney general in New York and he says uh he admits that the brag case was basically a political thing and that uh if if if his name had not been Don Donald Trump there's no way that case would have been brought now a whole bunch of Democrats just watched Bill Maher and one of the most deepest you know and also credible I would say uh Democrats just called it out as a total um violation of democracy they literally tried to take Trump's Freedom by distorting democracy to the point where even somebody on their team says nope absolutely not and by the way he was not qualifying it as in well you know I don't think it would have gone the other way if it hadn't been Trump he's saying no 100% this was a show trial yeah those are my words but he's saying it as clearly and it was uh it was it was entirely um political now do the Democrats not see it because now it's broken through into their bubble but not in the biggest way so it's not still not reported that way in the regular news but wherever people can talk freely even the Democrats will say it the best part was uh I only saw a clip but it looked like uh um Adam kinsinger was sitting next to him and Adam kinsinger since he you know chooses to be in the new news I can talk about him I wouldn't say this about you know just an ordinary citizen but he chooses to be in the news he has mental illness written all over him everybody sees that right that Adam kinsinger he just looks mentally ill all the time he looks like he's on the edge of a mental breakdown all the time so watching him sit there and having to listen to uh Cuomo essentially demon the side he's on was pretty interesting because kin because Adam kinsinger am I saying that right he he's one of the the worst people in the world because he was part of that fake January 6 committee which was basically a form of law fair without the law part and Bill Mah is saying as directly as possible that that bringing that New York case the Stormy Daniels one that the public is just going to see it as a sex case and they're going to say it was law Affair and uh he said that Biden gave up his entire advantage of fundraising because it raised so much money everybody could see it was a you know fraudulent activity well also uh judges dismissed the charges against six alternate Trump 2020 electors they would be called the fake electors by the Democrats or the alternate electors by people who are not Democrats uh but as many people pointed out it doesn't really help them as much as you think that they they all won their case because they probably got bankrupted in the process do you know how much it would cost to defend against that they probably just had to go into debt forever destroy their whole family for a generation and that's because they were simply politically active and doing what they thought was both legal and appropriate and the court has found that at least it wasn't illegal and they lost pretty much everything except their freedom which is important but that's the world we live in totally broken well if you're not following this the story about the uh excia director and well Brenan and Clapper both from the Intel world uh had been set up in a Department of Homeland Security office that's being described as a place to go after Trump's supporters apparently they had some uh Concepts about how to identify the bad people the Trump supporters uh the the ones they thought were going to be domestic terrorists and that some of the ways you could detect these domestic terrorists were if they had been in the military and if they had a religious uh inclination religion and military service as indicators of Traders people that they have to keep an eye on now obviously this was set up as a uh completely illegitimate effort to weaponize the government against Republicans as Mike Ben um characterized it he says on X he said today you can have the literal CIA director busted busted meaning caught not not in the law uh bus is setting up a literal government intelligence office to literally go after supporters of the former president and captured regime media keeps her omerta of total silence so as as Mike Ben points out the traditional news is just not even reporting about it this is like one of the biggest scandals in all of American history that a group of Spooks was set up to hunt yes hunt Republicans now uh the words that Mike Ben used was go after go after the supporters of the former president is go after kind of the same thing as hunt to me it is in this context so yes my 2020 prediction that if Biden won in 2020 Republicans would be hunted was so accurate that there was actually a department set up in the Department of Homeland Security to hunt Republicans now they would say no no we're looking for the bad ones but they're not looking for bad people who are Democrats and nobody trusts these particular people because if I've taught you anything it's know the players Mike Ben teaches you that much better but know the players Bren and Clapper are a huge glaring signal of fraudulence and bad behavior it's pretty much all they do they don't have anything else so they were behind the uh the Russia collusion op and they're still free they were behind the laptop uh hoax still free right they were behind the Insurrection hoax still free and then they created an entire department to hunt Republicans still free they're still just walking around like regular people what's up with that how in the world is that how are they not in jail how is it even possible well they're clever and they're powerful and they don't do things that are overtly illegal and lying apparently is pretty legal especially if you've got you know a license to lie as they do all right so the the only reason I think that they can get away with it in this case not you know I'm sure it was all legal so they got that working for them um is that the public doesn't understand it I would say no more than half of 1% of the public knows about this story and understands it in context and knows Brennan and Clapper to be who they really are almost nobody so if if people did understand that maybe it would be in the media the the regular media but it's going to just sort of disappear because we have trouble understanding complicated things um Glennon Greenwald is a national treasur because he helps more than anybody besides Mike Ben of telling you who the players are if the only thing you know is what happened you don't know anything you have to know the players so you would have to know that uh one of the biggest names on MSNBC you know the person who's most supportive of the Democrat narrative is Nicole Wallace but as Glenn Greenwald points out she was also famous for being the biggest liar for the Bush Administration so she was the most famous liar for the the darkest of the Republicans the bush Cheney people now she's the biggest liar for the Biden Administration so you say to yourself hey did she change sides here's the problem probably not that's the scary part the scary part is that she probably didn't change sides she probably always agreed with the military industrial complex the brennin and the clappers so she seems the most obvious candidate for someone who's not even trying to tell you the truth someone who's job it is to not tell you the truth it looks like she thinks it's her job to never tell you the truth and protect the military industrial complex and she's not that concerned about which party they're in so Greenwald uh calls around for being the most famous liar from the bush Cheney days and now she's claiming this is amazing uh the word is gone out so that all the big networks uh are talking about how the video about Biden looking decrepit and dementia riddled are at least partially cheap fakes meaning that they're yes it is a video of him but that because the way it's shot or the angle or the thing that's left out or the extra video it's not nearly as bad as it is and they're making up the fact that he's in bad shape now you also the video of where Obama helped seemingly helped uh Joe Biden off stage by you know holding his hand and sort of walking him off now Nicole Wallace and you have to see this to believe it by the way when when I describe this you're going to say really I'm gonna have to see that to believe you Scott because I'm going to tell you something that even I know you're not going to believe unless you see it so she says she's telling the story about how that that video is a cheap fake a misleading thing and she says that what really happened was that when it was over Biden just turned and walked off and that whole thing about Obama taking his hand that never even happened except that you watched it on video so how could she tell the story about a video and then say that the thing that everybody sees in the video didn't happen do you know how she did it she talked about it and showed the video before it happened so you can see them standing on stage so you'd say to yourself oh they're showing the video and then when he goes to to walk off stage they don't use the video that clearly shows Obama taking his hand they take a shot from the back of the audience where there where you can't see anything and their head's in the way so and then she says while you can't see them that they just walked off stage and that it's fake she actually showed you video that didn't show what was happening and tried to make you think she was describing what was happening when you couldn't see it and it was opposite of what we have already seen now imagine if you only watched MSNBC you would actually think that was fake news because there was nothing about it that screamed it was fake if you were just casually watching the news but if you'd seen it yeah if yeah you could call it a rupar I suppose um but if you'd seen it and you knew the real story it is such a head Shaker it's like I cannot believe we live in this world where MSNBC could put her on knowing that she's telling a lie about this story and showing the fake video and that she just goes to work the next day there's not a single person in the network to fire her uh or or tell her to run a correction the entire network is in on it so you don't have to wonder if the rest of the networks's in on it you know have you noticed that even on uh Fox News you'll occasionally get somebody disagreeing right but you don't really see that on MSNBC yeah you'll never see it by the way here's something I learned recently on CNN uh one of their legal analysts was curiously um supportive of Trump's point of view that he was being lawed in the New York case and it was really stood out because Eli and I and I remember I was saying to you um wow this is really a standout honest thing because it's not the direction the CNN likes to report but he's saying it very clearly that this case is garbage and you know Trump is being lawf fired later I found out that Eli kig used to work for uh brag did you know that or he worked with them so so he knew him personally and worked with him do you think that made a difference I do you know remember I keep telling you that you have to know the players if you don't know the players and who they've worked with and their associations and stuff you don't understand anything and here's somebody who worked with brag he worked with them and he was the only one at the network to say this is it kind of suggests that he knows more about brag than we do because he worked with him and it could be that he doesn't have a good feeling about brag in general and he's using this situation to let's say uh stick the uh stick the shiven I'd love to know how good his relationship with with brag was because maybe it's not so much a story about a a brave analyst who's bucking what his Network wants him to do maybe maybe it's a disgruntled guy who worked with somebody who had it coming and he just decided to deliver it when he got a chance it's one of those or maybe both but either way I believe he was reporting it straight and honestly and I appreciate it all right so the fact that the uh Democrats have moved to full gaslighting I think is something that Trump should mention uh during the uh debate uh I think he said has to go straight at it and say the news that support you is telling you that you look fine on all these videos we've all seen the videos are you saying that you're fine Joe just just make him answer the question it' just be fun all right uh there's a The Daily Caller is reporting there's a new study new poll uh about the swing States an Eis poll that says uh more Latino voters trust Trump on immigration than Biden that's right more Latino voters trust Trump because he's tougher on immigration so it's kind of close but there is a lead 41% of Hispanic voters trust Trump to handle immigration while only 38% trust Biden now here's the funny part if you're surprised by that you haven't spent much time around anybody from the Hispanic Community because I've said this a million times but it's like the the world is waking up the Hispanic community no matter how they register to vote is the most Republican group of people you'll ever meet in your life no matter if they're Democrats or not their family their religion their Law and Order that they they like an orderly Society where there's families and opportunities and and all that stuff and even if they got here you know in in less than legal ways or their their parents did when they get here they're still good people who like Law and Order and stuff like that so it doesn't surprise me because I've been immersed in that Community since I've lived in California so to me it's like right on point it's like okay that's exactly what I expected I would have been surprised if it gone the other way actually so um it makes me wonder how tuned in the Democrats are to their own people yeah I I think you know Bill uh Bill Mah said that the New York lawfare case the stormy case was uh the biggest mistake that Biden made but I think someday we're going to say that the biggest mistake was thinking he was bringing Democrat voters into the country I don't think he's bringing Democrat voters into the country I don't think that's happening at all if only because most of them are male right so here's what they got wrong if most of the people they brought in were female I actually do think they would leanen Democrat but men are just Pro Trump no matter what country they come from for all the obvious reasons same reason American men are because they can recognize that women are destroying the world because they have too much power at the moment yeah I'll say it directly women are destroying the world because they have too much power and you know I'll I'll reframe this in case somebody's new to my live stream I think that we evolve differently and that I trust women to make decisions about abortion laws and also individual abortions and they should just tell the men when they've made their decisions what's the law okay I'm not trying to convince you this is just my opinion and I think that men are biologically designed for defense so if you're trying to defend your country and you're trying to make laws and build militaries and all that you should trust men we're designed for it men would not open the Border unless you're mayorcas and there's something going on with that guy well whatever is going on with mayorcas it's illegal I'm sure that I just don't know what it is so he's either blackmailed or he's working for another country or something we don't know what it is but we can be really sure he's not working for America does that feel Fair we can observe it so you don't have to wonder what's in his mind you can just look what he what he does and what he does could not possibly be for the benefit of America there's no argument for that so we don't know his deal but it's not for America all right um Mario Nal has a good threat about uh the possible risk of war with Israel and Hezbollah and so Hezbollah has been shooting all kinds of rockets into Israel Hezbollah being another entity that Iran supports in addition to Hamas it looks like Israel is maybe getting close to or closer to completing their Gaza main military operations which would free up some of their military hypothetically for a bigger battle if they should decide to get into one so here are the things we know um over the last three days it's been Mario naul talks about this it's been a Non-Stop rocket barrage from Lebanon into Northern Israel um we know that the mood in Israel is not let's make peace the mood in Israel is we're going to have to take care of all of this um now they may not be in favor of war with Hezbollah I'm not saying there's a majority in favor of war with Hezbollah but I'm saying that their attitude is not exactly anti-war at the moment their attitude is more of a survival if you come for us we're going to kill you understandable so I would say that Israel definitely has a a war mentality so if you're if you're trying to guess we're doing some predicting here so I'm going to predict what's going to happen so you've got a country that is pro- war even though they're exhausted by it and wish they were not in it they're not against it clearly they're not against it if it's self-defense so the public I think would support a war with Hezbollah um I think some people say that Netanyahu probably needs a war with with Lebanon just to stay in power because War presidents tend to be more secure than non-war presid and there's some thought that the moment the war was over Netanyahu would be out of office and maybe maybe lawed into jail so you've got a leader who probably wants War um at the same time he doesn't want war so let me be clear nobody wants war is not a desire to have War it's a desire not to be a victim that's the better way to say it so Netanyahu is not in the mood to be a victim but moreover Israel is not in the mood to be a victim you know October 7th kind of you know established a clear mindset about that at the moment so the public would probably go for it um hezel itself seems to want it because the amount of Firepower they're putting on Israel it's like they're begging for it so if you've got both sides want it they have the ability to do it and now the timing is right because Israel's probably going to go hard at him at the very least they're going to punch him back even if it's not a full-scale war so you got the timing right you got both sides want it they have the ability the resources the assets the money for a war and you've got both leaders not able to back down so you could say they don't want war but even more than that they don't want to be a victim so I would say when was the last time anything looked this much like there's going to be a war and then it didn't happen can you think of a time because remember I was so wrong wrong more wrong than anything when I said I think Putin's just bluffing when he put his army on the his entire invading Army on the border of Ukraine I think I think that's a bluff boy was I wrong but then think more generally when have you ever seen forces aass at this level and this amount of firing from one country into an adjacent country that had more military might when did that not turn into a full-scale war I don't even know if that's a in the option set so I would say the guarantee of a widespread war and by the way the United States apparently reportedly has told them that there was support a war against Hezbollah surprise surprise our military industrial comp Lex is in favor of a war huh didn't see that coming so and I'm not giving you an opinion about whether Israel should or should not attack or that the United States should or should not help them I'm simply predicting that with the variables the way they're lined up now war is guaranteed that's my opinion I would say there's 100% chance of War what would you say and and I think that Israel is going to say we're never going to have a better chance to just genocide all of Hezbollah and I'm going to use genocide because if they don't pretty much wipe them out there's no point in even doing it they they have they have to do a war of complete destruction um at least of the assets and most of the military that matters uh or else all they're doing is make you mad and they'll just shoot more Rockets So Hezbollah is not a situation where you can go in and rough them up a little bit then make some peace if you're going to go in it has to be to the end it has to be a fight to the death and I think a fight to the death probably favors Israel but it's going to be a bloody one and there I think their cities would be hit like maybe we can't even imagine so I would say that's guaranteed and I wouldn't be surprised if that kicks up right around the time of our election if you were Israel and you didn't want to get too badly criticized for doing what a lot of people would say you shouldn't do but I'm saying whether you should or shouldn't do it I'm saying it's going to happen it's not even an opinion like I'm not telling you it should or shouldn't it's just going to happen nothing could stop it at this point so we'll I think America will be all busy with our elections or maybe the aftermath of the elections and Israel is just going to mow the loan up there and I think it's going to be massive massive destruction now they have like how many how many weapons do they have I saw a number of how many weapons they have it's just an unbelievable number of missiles and um in my opinion the uh Ran's Play and esb's play is to just keep building up the enemy forces until they can do one attack that destroys Israel in one go and they're getting close to being able to do that so if Israel doesn't destroy them completely I would I would say that's a strategic error so I'd say it's guaranteed and again I'm not I'm not for it or against it I don't have any power over it I'm just watching there will be war with ESB guarantee it CBS news cryptically says that the upcoming presidential debate that Biden will have surprises and that might include his physical performance what the hell does that mean what the hell does that mean by the way there's something wrong with my lighting I can't I can't get this part of the screen I thought maybe the camera was Fuzzy or something but no matter how I change the lighting it doesn't change that big smudge in the corner I'll work on that anyway so I don't know what it means that Biden would have a physical performance surprise the way it was spoken it was like it would be on the upside as in he would be maybe physically better than you thought or or what is it going to show up with a cane and a walker are they going to push him out in a wheelchair I mean how's that going to work oh God I hope they don't oh no what would happen if he if they pushed him out in the wheelchair and they said his brain is still great but I have to admit his walking is a little dangerous now he might fall over so he could still walk but for a lot of purposes we're going to wheel him around because you know his walking is not so good I feel like he would get a sympathy vote that he wouldn't otherwise get and I think it would take uh Trump's ability to mock him completely away because if they said his brain is good but we admit you know his body's got some issues it's very that would be very disarming I don't think they'll do that but it makes you wonder how it would go might actually might actually be a winning play I don't know could be because you know we're just sort of naturally trained that if you see somebody who's supposed to be the leader but they're acting weak you can go after them but you take that same leader and you put them legitimately in in a wheelchair and we agree he should be in it that really takes the fire out of your your criticism right because at that point you're saying all right are you saying that just because your legs don't work you can't be a president no nobody wants to say that that would really be devastating actually but it could go the other way too people might say I don't want my president to look weak and they might say if he can't stand up he looks weak could go either way I don't know how that would go that'd be an interesting poll wouldn't it would you be more likely to vote for uh by if he accepted the wheelchair which he probably should anyway maybe there will be surprises we don't know um and uh let's see sourcers are saying that Biden's going to boast about his Reproductive Rights agenda his positions on issues of democracy and that he has an upper hand on the economy um so here's what I would expect Trump to respond with when Biden says uh he boasts about Reproductive Rights Trump can say that the Democrats are trying to draft women which is real that that's a real thing that's happening now now that's not Biden per se and he might say he's against it but it's his team and if and if Democrats are in charge maybe women will get drafted or at least they'll have to register so the the current proposal is that they would have to register not that they would be drafted so I think that's a winning play if if Trump says Reproductive Rights I just took myself out of that see the the frame that Trump has not embraced it's the winning frame they say Joe Biden there's one thing that every woman in the United States can agree with me on that I should not be the one deciding what they do with their body can we agree on that Joe Biden will you agree with me that I Donald Trump should not be involved in decisions about women's bodies because that's what I gave you I took it out of my hands took it to the states and the states are closer to the the person so the closer it is to the the people in the state the more credible the outcome will be of the laws but can we both agree that taking myself and that decision making process is better for everybody there's no way you lose on that message because it's completely it's it's basically a kill shot on the other hand you're looking to draft our daughters you're looking to draft our daughters your team and do you disavow the Democrats or do you think that's a good idea to register our women for the the military while you're while you're running two hot Wars which he is um I'd also say that uh Reproductive Rights aren't worth anything if you live in a lawless land where it's too dangerous to have a family and that Joe Biden uh you you could at the trans thing You' say if you cared about women you wouldn't let 600b men play women's sports or some version of that that doesn't sound too bigoted when uh when when Joe does his fake fake hoaxes about the Democracy Trump's trying to steal your democracy I would first of all mock it and say something like have you all noticed that most of Joe's complaints are about things that are imaginary he imagines that I did this he imagines that I'm going to be a dictator how exactly would I become a dictator in a country full of people who have been trained to kill dictators if he had an audience it would be more uh yeah here here's the thing here's the thing that he'll never say but it would be a killshot you worry that I'll become a dictator it's like you don't even know what a republican is a republican is someone who's uh got you know filty to the institution that's our basic nature even if you imagined I went rogue and tried to become a dictator the other Republicans would kill me immediately and should imagine him saying that if I ever tried to become a dictator you could rely on Republicans killing me and they should because that's what a republican is that's why we have the guns yeah now you would never forget that would you now again this is all fantasy politics he's not going to say it because I suggest it uh but there are so many Avenues of complete Annihilation that that Trump has he just has to pick one he has probably I don't think I'm exaggerating he probably has 12 kill shots that would take Biden completely out of the race probably at least 12 Avenues he can just pick the one he likes doesn't have to be that one anyway he could mention that uh Biden's Administration created a department to hunt Republicans and put Brennan and Clapper in charge of it imagine just saying that is it true you created a department literally to Target Trump voters and you put your same guys who ran the Russia collusion hoax and the lapt hoax in charge of it and they're the ones that you put in charge of hunting Republicans you know your news isn't covering that but when it was discovered you to disband it the reason you disbanded it was because it was exactly what it looked like it was hunting Republicans there was no other reason it was disbanded it was simply discovered you've completely given up you know between your censorship of social media your complete domination of the lying media your law fairing of presidents and January 6 people your complete hoax mentality that everything you talk about is a hoax you know you're the one taking the democracy and then on the economy they'll just both lie about stuff so um apparently the only way you can talk about the economy if you're running for president is you literally just make up they're they both do it but here's here's where the President should call them out uh Biden will definitely say he created more jobs and that Trump lost jobs here's what you say Joe Biden I don't think you should talk about the economy if you can't figure out how to handle the fact that we were in a pandemic if you're comparing a pandemic to our normal economy you're just lying to the public or you don't understand anything about how economics Works whoever had been president after the pandemic was going to have major job growth unless the whole country disappeared and it didn't so when you stand up here and lie and say you created jobs I think the country is smart enough to know that jobs were of course going to be created after you no longer shut down the whole country you fascist probably without the F wordss but I mean look look at the number of attacks the the number of kill shots is just crazy I mean this is going to be the greatest show on Earth I can't wait for the debate and I will I will be live streaming it by the way all right um there's a new data on vaccinations danger uh William mackus MD was talking about this I guess they did a study and the other people on the study were uh Dr.
Mc.
Culla Dr try emmerling gesling and uh re and Alexander And hudin so there's a bunch of doctors what they did is they looked through a bunch of autopsy reports from the past and they looked at people who uh died not too long after having a vaccination and uh then they put together a little study and they said that we found that 74% of deaths were directly due to or significantly contributed to by covid vaccinations so they looked at 325 autopsy case now do you trust that study let let's do our uh fake news Discovery stuff well the first thing you should do is know the players is there any name on the list who has ever done anything that was clearly fake news the answer is yes but if I tell you what it is you're going to argue with me and I don't want to get in that argument so the first thing you need to know is there's at least one person on that list who's quite famous for a particular piece of fake news but I'm not going to get into it I'm just going to say that's how that's what you would look for right okay I'll say it anybody who was in favor who thought that the athletes were dropping dead and that nobody was talking about it on the actual teams that's somebody you should raise an eyebrow when they have another study one of them is selling uh one of them is selling a product that alleges to cure you of your potential vax damage to it'll remove the spike protein so one of them makes money if you think that the vaccinations were dangerous and you've got some poison in your body that he can help you get rid of should you trust science where one of the members has a very public it nothing's hidden is very public uh Financial incentive no no you should not how about how much should you trust just a study just any study how much should you trust that well historically half of all scientific studies are not reproducible meaning that it's a coin flip now the question was does the vax injure you or does it not right it's binary does it injure you or does it not now there's a little bit of a Nuance because everybody knew that that every new medicine injures somebody so it's not a question of whether there was at least one person who got hurt we all agree that at least one person got hurt that's just how medicine works but is it like a deadly problem or is it more like you know ordinary vaccination risk which might not be so ordinary after all um so just just hold this in your mind a scientific study is a coin flip you you as the cons consumer of that news don't know if it's right or wrong it's a coin flip 50/50 so if it's 50/50 and one of the members is making money from the uh belief that uh you can be cured of this condition and it's a um what kind what kind of studies are the goldplated ones you've heard this right there's a kind of science that's a gold standard and it's a randomized controlled trial so the randomized is important so that you don't accidentally study the wrong body of data you know you make sure it's appropriate uh you want it to be big because the bigger the number of people the more likely you're going to get a good result and you want it so you want it big um and you want to have a control you know you want to have a control group so you know that um what's happening so a good study would predict what's going to happen and it would have a control group and then you would do the thing and then you would compare the control group to the other one and you'd have lots of people involved and it would be peer reviewed and all that that would be a good study this one was not that so it was no there was no uh control group it was a study of studies that had been just digging up data so it's more like a study than a scientific trial a a goldplated scientific trial is probably also a 50/50 in today's world because the people who can afford to do a huge study are the ones who have Financial interests so I would say that even the goldplated best study at least in this domain is probably closer to a tossup we used to think that was closer to you know 80 or 90% chance is true but in today's world we know everybody's just working for money um maybe 5050 now since it's not a it's not one of those goldplated standards it's just a study of studies you don't have the the good randomization you don't have a control group and you don't have a prediction that you know if you do the thing a thing will happen so it doesn't have most of the conditions for the best most reliable data and in fact there several conditions that are heavy signals for not being true um and they looked at 325 autopsy cases do you know that the 325 were randomly selected and is there anything about some groups of people that might make a difference and do you think that the people who die um or the people most most likely to get the vaccination were the people closest to death in the first place because in theory the people who were most enthusiastically vaccinated were the ones who had the most to worry about most likely to die on their own anyway did they sort that out I don't know so here's what I'd say uh I'm not saying that it's not true it does seem to me that the vaccination um has plenty to worry about so I'm not doubting the outcome I'm just saying that if you believed it because scientists did a study you missed the whole show right you have to look at who the scientists are is there money involved how big is it is there a control is it a big enough group is it randomized it wasn't any of those so uh that is not a that is not an opinion of what is true or false about vaccinations I didn't even talk about that I'm only talking about what you should believe when you see the news anyway that ladies and gentlemen is all I had for today's amazing show and I'm going to say goodbye now to the uh folks on the other platforms but before I go let me give you a uh preview on Tuesday of this week at uh if all goes well could change but if all goes well at Tuesday of the coming week at 11:00 a.m.
Pacific which would be uh 2: p.m.
eastern time um I've arranged to talk to Michael Ian Black who is uh an online presence in the political conversation um he has very Democrat Centric kind of views and I caught his attention by posting that all the news is fake and he questions how I know anything's true and why do I keep reposting the news if I think it's all fake and those I say are good questions and so rather than uh discuss what would be oh by the way if you if you don't know him he's uh well-known uh comedian writer actor kind of person so uh I'll I'll ask him how he wants to be introduced but he's got a variety of skills and uh rather than talk about what's true which would immediately get us off the rails because we'll never agree what's true um I agreed and he agreed that what I talk about is how I can tell when the news isn't real and I think that would be fascinating like a great public conversation because we'll go through things like the Scott Alexander rule that if you see a story that um well you'll never see a story that says dog bit man because that's too boring for the news but if you ever see a story that a man bit a dog it probably didn't happen that's the Scott Alexander rule because it's too Fantastical and Fantastical stories almost are never true and if you know the players you also know it's true and if you know somebody's getting paid you also know something so those are just that's just a sample but they're probably I don't know 20 different things that I've taught you about how to spot fake news and and I thought it would be really useful to run over that list with him and just see if he kind of tracks with the tools not necessarily the conclusions because I think that's I think that's where you find the common ground because I'm not going to tell him that um everything the news on the right is true and the news on the left is wrong yeah the Scott Alexander rule is if it looks to too amazing to believe or too incredible to believe it probably wasn't true right and it's very consistent you'll see that all the time okay all right um so we'll look for that and everybody on you Youtube and Rumble and X I'll see you tomorrow same time same place and uh locals here I got come e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for
[Music]
let me get ready here for the best show
ever almost
ready look at that everything's working
today good morning everybody and welcome
to the highlight of human civilization
and it's called coffee with Scott Adams
and I'm pretty sure there's never been a
better time in your whole life if you'd
like to take it up to another level that
people with small human smooth brains
can't even understand all you need for
that is a CER a mug or a glass of tanker
chalis din a kinen juger flask of vessle
of any kind fill it with your favorite
liquid I like coffee and join me now for
the unparallel pleasure the dopamine of
the day the thing that makes everything
better it's called the simultaneous Sip
and it goes like the
now that's the name that's the noise you
make after the
simultaneous
ah if you're making a noise that sounds
like
H that's the wrong noise and you've
confused your memes so don't do
that only the people on the internet
even understand what that comment meant
and you're laughing so hard now and the
rest of you are like what why is
everybody laughing why is that funny why
is HW tuille funny I I miss that Meme
well if you missed that Meme you missed
a good one
huy well there's some news uh I don't
know if you saw some uh video of Justin
Timberlake at giving a
concert and uh pretty much everybody who
saw the video said um what's wrong with
his eyes he looks so Wast or wired on
something that that doesn't look good
that looks very bad well how bad was it
um I think it was the same around the
same time he was he got a
DUI in New York so he gets a DUI and he
was such a dumbass that the cop who
stopped him the first time simply asked
him to get a ride home and he agreed and
then he just started driving
again and the cops a little bit later
and arrested him and he was like all
right I mean you dumbass I literally
literally gave you a break you know
which you should probably shouldn't have
done but he gave him a break and then he
bized him and you know or he might have
refused it I don't know but anyway he
gets arrested for a DUI and here's the
interesting part about that you know
that um he was driving a BMW BMW SUV
same vehicle I drive oh we celebrities
pretty much do the same cars but if he
had been driving a
Tesla a self-driving
Tesla would this problem have happened
in other words would there have been any
reason to to pull them over in the first
place because the car would have been
driving perfectly police would have had
no reason to have any suspicion at all
and he probably would have driven all
the way home and into his driveway now
it's not legal let me be clear it is not
legal to be drunk behind the wheel of a
self-driving car just to be very clear
don't do that that's very
illegal but it would have also been
relatively very safe I assume I mean
needs to be studied but I'm going to
assume that that's a lot of safer than
driving
drunk but wait there's more do you
remember that the Teslas were named
using the uh the convention that that
musk was going to use the letters in the
word sexy so there's a Model S there's
an X there's a y there must be an e
right so that he was intentionally
spelling sexy with the models of his
cars so here's the punchline that I took
way too long to get to there is some
chance that if Justin Timberlake had a
Tesla sexy would be bringing him back
yes yes delivered it I delivered it wow
sexy would bring him back that's right
you can try to retell that jok at home
and it'll be just as flat as when I
tried it way too much setup but it's
still I think a good payoff I think it
was worth your time sexy is bringing him
back yeah all right um speaking of
drinking I saw this message just moments
ago before I got on from dve r on x and
he said quote I quit drinking after 45
years because Scott Adams hypnotized me
thank God and Scott
well I like to be sharing credit with
God but in this case I might have had a
little bit of
extra responsibility here but you know
God do we don't want to leave God out
but because you know God's great too but
um I want to tell you that the strangest
thing about my weird career is that the
most important thing I will have done in
my life is
this so if it's true that dear got a
little boost from me and it helped him
quit drinking after 45 years my God
congratulations
Dave great job do any of you have any
conception of how hard it would be to
stop drinking after 45 years I mean just
wrap your around that I don't think he
can I think it's beyond
imagination we're talking about the
highest level of difficulty
accomplishment here and it was done
largely on the weight of one sentence
alcohol is poison that was the hypnosis
and I hear almost every day from
somebody who quit drinking forever
because they heard one sentence alcohol
is poison that's in my book had it
filled almost everything and still wind
big but also reiterated in my book
reframe your brain so they are written
with hypnosis let's say informed by
hypnosis techniques they're not hypnosis
per se but reframes can actually
reprogram your brain even for something
as deep as an addiction now I'm
surprised that it works that well but so
many people have said it it's just
shocking well another news in Toyota is
says it's uh no longer going to focus on
electric vehicles and instead we'll
develop new combustion engines some
people say that might have something to
do with hydrogen I don't know but I can
tell you this if you've tried to buy a
Toyota truck recently you know that you
can't because they're in such demand
that they're selling them you know as
soon as they have the pipeline they're
they're all sold before they reach the
Dealer's lot the all of the Toyota
trucks and they don't need to do
anything for
anybody whatever they're doing must be
working like crazy because people want
those trucks like crazy every day I'm on
the road I see a a Toyota Tacoma go by
and I say to myself man I wish I could
have bought one of those I tried
couldn't figure out how to get
one anyway
um but it's not all about electric cars
I'm I'm glad that the big auto companies
are looking at more than one way to make
a car I think I'd be disappointed if
everybody just went electric and just
said that's electric you know there's
only only one way that would worry me i'
I'd rather see that there are two or
three competing techniques from really
capable companies we'll see who wins let
the marketplace decide well here's
something that apparently musk
said uh that I didn't catch I saw a
version of it but not this he he said
one of his predictions lately elen musk
uh telling Tesla
investors that the value of Tesla
alone could become half of the combined
value of the S&P
500 let me say that again Elon Musk has
said in public to Tesla investors that
the value of Tesla just that one company
could become as valuable as half of all
the companies in the Fortune 500 it
could be half of the entire
index and that's because of
robots that's entirely a robot play and
he's saying if he doesn't you know get
his pay package he'll take his robot
somewhere else so is that possible I
actually think that's completely
possible I think you're talking about a
multi-trillion dollar
industry and whoever is the biggest in
it and it's very likely it could be
Tesla is going to have a trillion dollar
multi-trillion dollar business so I'm
not sure he's wrong I mean that's a
really gutsy um
prediction but I think he's right I
think he's right I've been spending more
and more time with AI using chat GPT in
particular
4.0
and I can report that it's completely
addictive
if you haven't experienced it yet and
most of you
haven't it's it's so addictive you know
uh I remember the first time I saw the
internet it was in the little lab in
Pacific Bell before the public had even
heard of the internet literally
literally before the public had heard
the word
internet um I was playing with it in the
lab and then you could feel you could
feel the attraction to it and everybody
else could too you knew it was going to
be big before it was anything you could
just tell everybody had the same
excitement about it from the first
exposure AI does that
too right if you tried a few AI things
when it was when it was new and it
didn't do much for you because it didn't
do much when it was
new it's completely different already so
I've already told you that
um let me give you an example so driving
home from Starbucks yesterday I had some
thoughts about some potential
Investments and I thought to myself you
know it would be good if I could find a
company that's in the business of making
the little servos and Little Motors that
will go into
robots because you want to buy the thing
that every robot needs to Independent of
which company is making the robots and
it seemed to me that the robot makers
would probably at least in the near term
use whatever company already is good at
making Motors because there are already
robotss in industrial settings so there
are already robot Motors in a a
specialty area so instead of doing my
Google search which never works have you
ever noticed that that the odds that you
can find something with a Google search
went from pretty good to it's a coin
flip at best but with AI I have this
entire conversation on the way home just
a conversation you I just turn it on to
conversation mode and I say stuff like
hey I'm thinking of invest invting in
the robot area but I want to find the
company that's likely to win in the
making little motors for each of the
robot arms and legs and stuff and it
comes up with a name and it says Uh
there's a Japanese company I forget what
it
was and uh you know it makes these
robots and blah blah and then I said
well what percentage of their business
is the robot Parts because it was a big
company they said well they don't break
that out so I said okay well forget
about that one what what is the best
company that makes robot engines that's
mostly in that business you know so that
their biggest exposure is that one
thing
and uh it gave me names that I could
later look up look into if I wanted to
so it completely answered my questions
and it didn't do any of that hesitating
stuff you know the hesitating like well
you know uh I can't give you that
information because I don't want give
you Financial advice oh it gave
Financial advice but not as advice as
simply answered questions in fact I was
giving myself advice but it was
answering questions to get there now I
did the same thing with a bunch of
medical questions because I had some um
I had some questions about you know
whether One symptom is common to another
thing and you I was trying to track down
some Mysteries and it was amazing it was
so much better than talking to a doctor
because I've talked to doctors and it
would just answer all of my questions
perfectly it was really exciting
so here's what I found AI is best
for it's best for having a conversation
where you've got a lot of questions and
you know exactly what you want to know
but you need to coax it into giving you
the right answer it's great at that
already so that's coming anyway uh the
only thing I want to tell you is that if
you haven't experienced the addiction
part of it you will and when they put
that in a robot
form it it's there's no way I'm not
going to have the robot I'm going to
have a robot following me around all day
doing whatever I want guaranteed there's
no there's no way that's not going to
happen all right there a bunch of kids
in Hawaii who sued the state over
climate change and one bunch of bunch of
kids sued over climate change and won
and what they won was uh Hawaii agreed
to decarbonize their transit
systems and I thought to myself I've
been to Hawaii are you telling me they
have a transit system I'm hearing that
for the first
time I thought the transit system was
you rent a car at the airport and then
you are your own transit system that's
true for Maui maybe they have a bus
Maybe I don't know they don't have much
of a transit system in Hawaii but uh
here's uh the important part of this
story um that uh the director of
Transportation over in Hawaii he said
quote climate change is
indisputable isn't that a weird
word so can you tell that that person is
hypnotized that's not that's not an
opinion that you come to through reason
nothing's in dispute
aable if you use a word like
indisputable you're pretty much
signaling that you did not get there by
reason if you had arrived at your
opinion by reason you would have said
probably something closer to in all
likelihood or all indications are or
science tells
us those are all fair but to say
indisputable you're treating me like I'm
a idiot no it's not indisputable
goes watch this I dispute
it now when I dispute it I'm disputing
the models and I'm disputing the alarm
whether or not the Earth is getting
warmer I don't know but I'm pretty sure
they don't know
either yeah my best argument about uh
climate change is have you met people
have you met people here here's the
argument in favor of climate change then
I'll show you how my argument works we
know the temperatures going up because
we have a vast array of thermometers
sensitive devices placed in locations
around the world and we check them and
then we can see that the temperature has
been going up and by the way we can tell
it's been going up for 100
years to which I say have you met
people what people have you met them the
humans you've heard of them right human
beings
there are some things they can
do some things they can't do for example
they're pretty good at murdering each
other so if you told me I think people
murder each other sometimes I would have
said y yep that's that's that's un brand
that sounds like some people do if you
said people eat too much and they get
fat I'd say yeah yeah I've not only
observed that but that's just what
people do people are like that people be
like that but if you tell me
that people selected from all over the
country have built a vast array of
sensitive measuring devices in a context
in which you only get paid if you get
the one answer and not the other one and
you tell me that they're telling me that
something like science is happening in
that situation my answer to you is have
you met people you've met people right
no that isn't something people can do
not ever
don't give me your vast network of
sensitive measuring devices I've lived
in the real world you can't do
that you can lie about it I've been in
that world I've been in the world where
we were measuring stuff and it was my
job to tell you what what we measured I
guarantee it wasn't real but it was
still my job to do it I even predicted
the future I used to I used to do uh
Financial predictions five years
out absurd completely absurd we had no
idea what was going to happen in 5 years
but I'd give my confident little
spreadsheets look at my model I built
with all my assumptions here's what's
going to happen five years from now no I
was a human I can't do that and you're a
human but you believed it but you
shouldn't have no people can't do that
stuff we just can't do that stuff don't
get me started about the
elections it's the same argument
uh an election was held in the United
States in which individuals thousands
and thousands of them from all over the
country got together to honestly and
accurately count up the votes so that we
would know that nothing unto art had
happened to which I say have you met
people have you met
people there was a story yesterday of a
Department of Transportation truck that
turned a corner too fast and it and
tragically it hit a 86y old
man but it wasn't the whole truck I
think it was just the mirror the mirror
hit the head of the old man and it
sliced it clean off and the old man's
head went rolling down the street and
number of people caught it on camera and
so his decapitated head was like half a
block from where the rest of his body
was but here's the interesting part of
the story by weird coincidence he was
some mafia
boss he was part of the Gen of's Mafia
crime family he was 86 took his head off
now if you said to me
Scott has there ever been a case where a
Department of Transportation truck took
a corner too fast and took the head off
a mafia guy I'd say well that's not a
common thing but it is within the brand
I could see that happening because there
are Mafia people there are trucks there
are people who drive poorly and there
are sometimes those automobiles at
people sometimes ad comes off so I would
have said well maybe not 100% sure but
that's within brand that's on brand you
know what's not on brand thousands of
people working honestly to give us an
honest result in the election have you
met
people that's not something we can do
no and we don't know the temperature
everywhere all the time it's not
something we can
do anyway but here's the important part
of the story the director of
Transportation his name is Ed
sniffen S ni I
ffen but the most important thing is if
Ed sniffin has a daughter and she
marries the daughter the son of Dicky
butts well she might be
yeah sniffing
butts so that's the important part of
the story and that's what I wanted to
get to the rest not that
important well the founder of uh soft
Bank masayoshi son says that AI super
intelligence is going to come at you
faster than you think and that by uh
let's see 10 years from now there'll the
super intelligence of AI will be 10,000
times smarter than human
Geniuses 10,000 times smarter than human
Geniuses but you know what's funny about
that if you're 5% smarter than somebody
they can't
tell if because your dog doesn't know
you're smarter than the dog right when
when I come into a room I turn on the
lights and what I know is everything
from you know the Edison invting
inventing the light bulb to you know uh
Ben Franklin and his electricity
experiments and I know the wiring in the
wall and I I know I know something about
circuitry and I know that there's you
know a little heat resistance in the
bulb so I I like my vast intelligence
just turns on the light do you know what
my dog
thinks well there's that idiot who
walked in and doesn't seem to know I
need a treat you idiot
you're just lucky that the light comes
on whenever you enter a room for reasons
I don't understand because otherwise
you'd just be bumping around in the dark
because you can't see with your
human eyes you lousy stupid organic
piece of not giving me a treat whatever
you are so my dog doesn't even know I'm
smarter than it the dog thinks I'm an
idiot like you know I want to go outside
why are you standing there you idiot you
fool well what's going to happen when
the AI is 10,000 times smarter than us
we're not going to know
it like we'll know that it does math
well and can beat us in chess but we're
still going to think it's
wrong right so what if the AI becomes
10,000 times smarter and says something
that uh disagrees with the narrative
such as well actually whatever sex
you're born that's kind of what you are
now I'm just using that example to be
provocative but what if it does what are
we going to say oh great AI you are
10,000 times smarter than the smartest
human so if you disagree with me I guess
I should just change my mind to your
10,000 times smarter View and then I
will be acting like a smart person
without the benefit of being
smart have you met people have you ever
met a
person is that how we're going to act
no when AI is 10,000 times smarter than
us we will think it's stupid because
it's not giving us a treat hey AI why
won't you unlock the
refrigerator it's because you already
weigh 400 lb and you are about 10
minutes away from dying from a heart
attack I have locked the refrigerator in
between eating times to save your life
well you stupid refrigerator don't you
understand that
uh being overweight is no risk to my
health I saw that on Tik
Tok no you are absolutely completely
totally 100% wrong 100% of all science
says that you are much much less happy
at your current weight so I've locked
the refrigerator so that you will stay
healthier well I'm going to unplug your
ass and I'm going to get rid of you
completely because you don't seem to
understand the most simple things in
life such that overeating is not
unhealthy
now that is what people
do in case you haven't met any
people so that'll be
interesting uh there's a new story that
scientists have spotted what they call
possibly an alien mega structure around
nearby Stars that's right a death star
we found death stars around other
planets and we can tell by the heath
signature uh that were was predicted in
the 60s
uh that there would be something called
Dyson Spears huge structures
theoretically built by Advanced aliens
and they're probably collecting up all
the Star Energy in the Dyson
Cube because the
aliens they are totally there let me uh
let me explain to you how the alien
stuff
works um whenever Joe Biden has a bad
news week we discover some more aliens
do you know how many aliens we're going
to discover the day after the uh
debate if I had to bet and that debate
goes poorly for Joe Biden the news will
be that aliens have landed and they're
already meeting with Biden in the in the
white house we can't show you
pictures because you know security but
totally there are aliens in the white
house now and they say that President
Trump is probably a sex offender and may
be a racist and that you should not vote
for him CU if you do the alien Armada
will have to destroy Earth because it's
the only way to end the Republican
Reign so that's probably the news the
day after the debate something like that
no there are no aliens that have been
detected there might be aliens but no
there are no D and Spears there are no
captured
spaceships nobody has any biologics
none of that's
true it is just to keep your
brain busy so you don't see what's
really
happening all right
um Andrew
Cuomo as you know was once the governor
of New York in a famous political name
famous Democrat he's as Democrat as you
can get you cannot get more Democrat
than the Democrat Governor who's the son
of a Democrat Governor whose brother
once worked on
CNN that's as deeply Democrat as you
could possibly be and he was on Bill Mar
show last night and
said as directly as you can say he said
that he was a former Attorney General so
he's not just talking as a politician he
was an attorney general in New York and
he says uh he admits that the brag case
was basically a political thing and that
uh if if if his name had not been Don
Donald Trump there's no way that case
would have been
brought now a whole bunch of Democrats
just watched Bill Maher and one of the
most deepest you know and also credible
I would say uh Democrats just called it
out as a total um violation of
democracy they literally tried to take
Trump's
Freedom by distorting democracy to the
point where even somebody on their team
says nope absolutely not and by the way
he was not qualifying it as in well you
know I don't think it would have gone
the other way if it hadn't been Trump
he's saying no 100% this was a show
trial yeah those are my words but he's
saying it as clearly and it was uh it
was it was
entirely um
political now do the Democrats not see
it because now it's broken through into
their bubble but not in the biggest way
so it's not still not reported that way
in the regular news but wherever people
can talk
freely even the Democrats will say
it the best part was uh I only saw a
clip but it looked like uh um Adam
kinsinger was sitting next to
him and Adam
kinsinger since he you know chooses to
be in the new news I can talk about him
I wouldn't say this about you know just
an ordinary citizen but he chooses to be
in the news he has mental illness
written all over him everybody sees that
right that Adam kinsinger he just looks
mentally ill all the time he looks like
he's on the edge of a mental breakdown
all the time so watching him sit there
and having to listen to uh Cuomo
essentially demon the side he's on was
pretty interesting because kin because
Adam kinsinger am I saying that right he
he's one of the the worst people in the
world because he was part of that fake
January 6 committee which was basically
a form of law fair without the law
part and Bill Mah is saying as directly
as possible that that bringing that New
York case the Stormy Daniels one that
the public is just going to see it as a
sex case and they're going to say it was
law Affair and uh he said that Biden
gave up his entire advantage of
fundraising because it raised so much
money everybody could see it was a you
know fraudulent
activity well also uh judges dismissed
the charges against six alternate Trump
2020 electors they would be called the
fake electors by the Democrats or the
alternate electors by people who are not
Democrats uh but as many people pointed
out it doesn't really help them as much
as you think that they they all won
their case because they probably got
bankrupted in the process do you know
how much it would cost to defend against
that they probably just had to go into
debt forever destroy their whole family
for a generation and that's because they
were simply politically active and doing
what they thought was both legal and
appropriate and the court has found that
at least it wasn't
illegal and they lost pretty much
everything except their freedom which is
important
but that's the world we live in totally
broken well if you're not following this
the story about the uh excia director
and well Brenan and Clapper both from
the Intel world uh had been set up in a
Department of Homeland Security office
that's being described as a place to go
after Trump's
supporters apparently they had some uh
Concepts about how to identify the bad
people the Trump supporters uh the the
ones they thought were going to be
domestic terrorists and that some of the
ways you could detect these domestic
terrorists were if they had been in the
military and if they had a religious uh
inclination religion and military
service as indicators
of
Traders people that they have to keep an
eye on now obviously this was set up as
a uh completely illegitimate effort to
weaponize the government against
Republicans as Mike Ben um characterized
it he says on X he said today you can
have the literal CIA director busted
busted meaning caught not not in the law
uh bus is setting up a literal
government intelligence office to
literally go after supporters of the
former president and captured regime
media keeps her omerta of total silence
so as as Mike Ben points out the
traditional news is just not even
reporting about it this is like one of
the biggest scandals in all of American
history that a group of Spooks was set
up to hunt yes hunt
Republicans now uh the words that Mike
Ben used was go after go after the
supporters of the former president is go
after kind of the same thing as
hunt to me it is in this context so yes
my 2020 prediction that if Biden won in
2020 Republicans would be
hunted was so accurate that there was
actually a department set up in the
Department of Homeland Security to hunt
Republicans now they would say no no
we're looking for the bad ones but
they're not looking for bad people who
are Democrats and nobody trusts these
particular people because if I've taught
you anything it's know the players Mike
Ben teaches you that much better but
know the players Bren and Clapper are a
huge glaring signal of fraudulence and
bad behavior it's pretty much all they
do
they don't have anything else so they
were behind the uh the Russia collusion
op and they're still free they were
behind the laptop uh hoax still free
right they were behind the Insurrection
hoax still free and then they created an
entire department to hunt
Republicans still
free they're still just walking around
like regular people what's up with that
how in the
world is that how are they not in
jail how is it even possible well
they're clever and they're powerful and
they don't do things that are overtly
illegal and lying apparently is pretty
legal especially if you've got you know
a license to lie as they
do all
right so the the only reason I think
that they can get away with it in this
case not you know I'm sure it was all
legal so they got that working for them
um is that the public doesn't understand
it I would say no more
than half of 1% of the public knows
about this story and understands it in
context and knows Brennan and Clapper to
be who they really
are almost nobody so if if people did
understand that maybe it would be in the
media the the regular media but it's
going to just sort of
disappear because we have trouble
understanding complicated
things um Glennon Greenwald is a
national treasur because he helps more
than anybody besides Mike Ben of telling
you who the players are if the only
thing you know is what happened you
don't know anything you have to know the
players so you would have to know that
uh one of the biggest names on
MSNBC you know the person who's most
supportive of the Democrat narrative is
Nicole Wallace but as Glenn Greenwald
points out she was also famous for being
the biggest liar for the Bush
Administration so she was the most
famous liar for the the darkest of the
Republicans the bush Cheney
people now she's the biggest liar for
the Biden
Administration so you say to yourself
hey
did she change
sides here's the problem probably
not that's the scary part the scary part
is that she probably didn't change
sides she probably always agreed with
the military industrial complex the
brennin and the
clappers so she seems the most obvious
candidate for someone who's not even
trying to tell you the truth someone
who's job it is to not tell you the
truth it looks like she thinks it's her
job to never tell you the truth and
protect the military industrial complex
and she's not that concerned about which
party they're
in so Greenwald uh calls around for
being the most famous liar from the bush
Cheney days and now she's claiming this
is amazing uh the word is gone out so
that all the big networks uh are talking
about how the video about Biden looking
decrepit and dementia riddled are at
least partially cheap fakes meaning that
they're yes it is a video of him but
that because the way it's shot or the
angle or the thing that's left out or
the extra video it's not nearly as bad
as it is and they're making up the fact
that he's in bad
shape now you also the video of where
Obama helped seemingly helped uh Joe
Biden off stage by you know holding his
hand and sort of walking him off now
Nicole Wallace and you have to see this
to believe it by the way when when I
describe this you're going to say really
I'm gonna have to see that to believe
you Scott because I'm going to tell you
something that even I know you're not
going to believe unless you see it so
she says she's telling the story about
how that that video is a cheap fake a
misleading thing and she says that what
really happened was that when it was
over Biden just turned and walked off
and that whole thing about Obama taking
his hand that never even
happened except that you watched it on
video so how could she tell the story
about a video and then say that the
thing that everybody sees in the video
didn't happen do you know how she did it
she talked about it and showed the video
before it happened so you can see them
standing on stage so you'd say to
yourself oh they're showing the video
and then when he goes to to walk off
stage they don't use the video that
clearly shows Obama taking his hand they
take a shot from the back of the
audience where there where you can't see
anything and their head's in the way so
and then she says while you can't see
them that they just walked off stage and
that it's
fake she actually showed you video that
didn't show what was happening and tried
to make you think she was describing
what was happening when you couldn't see
it and it was opposite of what we have
already
seen now imagine if you only watched
MSNBC you would actually think that was
fake
news because there was nothing about it
that screamed it was fake if you were
just casually watching the news but if
you'd seen
it yeah if yeah you could call it a
rupar I suppose um but if you'd seen it
and you knew the real story it is such a
head Shaker it's like I cannot believe
we live in this world where MSNBC could
put her on knowing that she's telling a
lie about this story and showing the
fake video and that she just goes to
work the next day there's not a single
person in the network to fire her uh or
or tell her to run a correction the
entire network is in on it so you don't
have to wonder if the rest of the
networks's in on it you know have you
noticed that even on uh Fox News you'll
occasionally get somebody
disagreeing right but you don't really
see that on
MSNBC yeah you'll never see it by the
way here's something I learned
recently on CNN uh one of their legal
analysts was
curiously um supportive of Trump's point
of view that he was being lawed in the
New York
case and it was really stood out because
Eli and I and I remember I was saying to
you um wow this is really a standout
honest thing because it's not the
direction the CNN likes to report but
he's saying it very clearly that this
case is garbage and you know Trump is
being lawf
fired later I found out that Eli kig
used to work for uh brag did you know
that or he worked with them
so so he knew him personally and worked
with him do you think that made a
difference I
do you know remember I keep telling you
that you have to know the players if you
don't know the players and who they've
worked with and their associations and
stuff you don't understand anything and
here's somebody who worked with brag he
worked with them and he was the only one
at the network to say this is
it kind of suggests that he
knows more about brag than we do because
he worked with him and it could be that
he doesn't have a good feeling about
brag in general and he's using this
situation
to let's say uh stick the uh stick the
shiven I'd love to know how good his
relationship with with brag was because
maybe it's not so much a story about a a
brave analyst who's bucking what his
Network wants him to do maybe maybe it's
a disgruntled guy who worked with
somebody who had it coming and he just
decided to deliver it when he got a
chance it's one of those or maybe
both but either way I believe he was
reporting it straight and honestly and I
appreciate
it all right so the fact that the uh
Democrats have moved to full gaslighting
I think is something that Trump should
mention uh during the uh
debate uh I think he said has to go
straight at it and say the news that
support you is telling you that you look
fine on all these videos we've all seen
the
videos are you saying that you're fine
Joe just just make him answer the
question it' just be
fun all right uh there's a The Daily
Caller is reporting there's a new study
new poll uh about the swing States an
Eis poll that says uh more Latino voters
trust Trump on immigration than
Biden that's right more Latino
voters trust Trump because he's tougher
on
immigration so it's kind of close but
there is a lead 41% of Hispanic voters
trust Trump to handle immigration while
only 38% trust
Biden now here's the funny
part if you're surprised by that you
haven't spent much time around anybody
from the Hispanic
Community because I've said this a
million times but it's like the the
world is waking up the Hispanic
community no matter how they register to
vote is the most Republican group of
people you'll ever meet in your life no
matter if they're Democrats or not their
family their religion their Law and
Order
that they they like an orderly Society
where there's families and opportunities
and and all that stuff and even if they
got here you know in in less than legal
ways or their their parents did when
they get here they're still good people
who like Law and Order and stuff like
that so it doesn't surprise me because
I've been immersed in that Community
since I've lived in California so to me
it's like right on point it's like okay
that's exactly what I expected I would
have been surprised if it gone the other
way actually so um it makes me wonder
how tuned in the Democrats are to their
own
people yeah I I think you know Bill uh
Bill Mah said that the New York lawfare
case the stormy case was uh the biggest
mistake that Biden made but I think
someday we're going to say that the
biggest mistake was thinking he was
bringing Democrat voters into the
country
I don't think he's bringing Democrat
voters into the country I don't think
that's happening at all if only because
most of them are
male right so here's what they got wrong
if most of the people they brought in
were female I actually do think they
would leanen
Democrat but men are just Pro Trump no
matter what country they come from for
all the obvious reasons same reason
American men are because they can
recognize that women are destroying the
world because they have too much power
at the moment yeah I'll say it directly
women are destroying the world because
they have too much power and you know
I'll I'll reframe this in case
somebody's new to my live
stream I think that we evolve
differently and that I trust women to
make decisions about abortion laws and
also individual abortions and they
should just tell the men when they've
made their decisions what's the law
okay I'm not trying to convince you this
is just my opinion
and I think that men are biologically
designed for defense so if you're trying
to defend your country and you're trying
to make laws and build militaries and
all that you should trust men we're
designed for it men would not open the
Border unless you're mayorcas and
there's something going on with that guy
well whatever is going on with mayorcas
it's illegal I'm sure that I just don't
know what it is so he's either
blackmailed or he's working for another
country or something we don't know what
it is but we can be really sure he's not
working for
America does that feel Fair we can
observe
it so you don't have to wonder what's in
his mind you can just look what he what
he does and what he does could not
possibly be for the benefit of
America there's no argument for that so
we don't know his deal but it's not for
America all right um Mario Nal has a
good threat about uh the possible risk
of war with Israel and
Hezbollah and so Hezbollah has been
shooting all kinds of rockets into
Israel Hezbollah being another entity
that Iran supports in addition to Hamas
it looks like Israel is maybe getting
close to or closer to completing their
Gaza main military
operations which would free up some of
their military hypothetically
for a bigger battle if they should
decide to get into
one so here are the things we know um
over the last three days it's been Mario
naul talks about this it's been a
Non-Stop rocket barrage from Lebanon
into Northern
Israel um we know that the mood in
Israel is not let's make peace the mood
in Israel is we're going to have to take
care of all of this um now they may not
be in favor of war with Hezbollah I'm
not saying there's a majority in favor
of war with Hezbollah but I'm saying
that their attitude is not exactly
anti-war at the moment their attitude is
more of a survival if you come for us
we're going to kill
you
understandable so I would say that
Israel definitely has a a war
mentality so if you're if you're trying
to guess we're doing some predicting
here so I'm going to predict what's
going to happen so you've got a country
that is pro- war even though they're
exhausted by it and wish they were not
in it they're not against it clearly
they're not against it if it's
self-defense so the public I think would
support a war with
Hezbollah um I think some people say
that Netanyahu probably needs a war with
with Lebanon just to stay in power
because War presidents tend to be more
secure than non-war presid
and there's some thought that the moment
the war was over Netanyahu would be out
of office and maybe maybe lawed into
jail so you've got a leader who probably
wants
War um at the same time he doesn't want
war so let me be clear nobody wants
war is not a desire to have War it's a
desire not to be a victim that's the
better way to say it so Netanyahu is not
in the mood to be a
victim but moreover Israel is not in the
mood to be a
victim you know October 7th kind of you
know established a clear mindset about
that at the
moment so the public would probably go
for it um hezel itself seems to want it
because the amount of Firepower they're
putting on Israel it's like they're
begging for it so if you've got both
sides want
it they have the ability to do it and
now the timing is right
because Israel's probably going to go
hard at him at the very least they're
going to punch him back even if it's not
a full-scale war so you got the timing
right you got both sides want it they
have the ability the resources the
assets the money for a war and you've
got both leaders not able to back
down so you could say they don't want
war but even more than that they don't
want to be a
victim so I would say when was the last
time anything looked this much like
there's going to be a war and then it
didn't
happen can you think of a time because
remember I was so wrong wrong more wrong
than anything when I said I think
Putin's just bluffing when he put his
army on the his entire invading Army on
the border of Ukraine I think I think
that's a bluff boy was I wrong but then
think more generally when have you ever
seen forces aass at this level and this
amount of firing from one country into
an adjacent country that had more
military
might when did that not turn into a
full-scale
war I don't even know if that's a in the
option set so I would say the guarantee
of a widespread war and by the way the
United States apparently reportedly has
told them that there was support a war
against Hezbollah surprise surprise our
military industrial comp Lex is in favor
of a war huh didn't see that coming so
and I'm not giving you an opinion about
whether Israel should or should not
attack or that the United States should
or should not help
them I'm simply predicting that with the
variables the way they're lined up now
war is
guaranteed that's my opinion I would say
there's 100% chance of War what would
you say and and I think that Israel is
going to say we're never going to have a
better chance to just genocide all of
Hezbollah and I'm going to use genocide
because if they don't pretty much wipe
them out there's no point in even doing
it they they have they have to do a war
of complete
destruction um at least of the assets
and most of the military that matters uh
or else all they're doing is make you
mad and they'll just shoot more Rockets
So Hezbollah is not a situation where
you can go in and rough them up a little
bit then make some peace if you're going
to go in it has to be to the end it has
to be a fight to the death and I think a
fight to the death probably favors
Israel but it's going to be a bloody one
and there I think their cities would be
hit
like maybe we can't even
imagine so I would say that's guaranteed
and I wouldn't be surprised if that
kicks up right around the time of our
election if you were Israel and you
didn't want to get too badly criticized
for doing what a lot of people would say
you shouldn't do but I'm saying whether
you should or shouldn't do it I'm saying
it's going to
happen it's not even an opinion like I'm
not telling you it should or shouldn't
it's just going to happen nothing could
stop it at this point so we'll I think
America will be all busy with our
elections or maybe the aftermath of the
elections and Israel is just going to
mow the loan up there and I think it's
going to be massive massive destruction
now they have
like how many how many weapons do they
have I saw a number of how many weapons
they have it's just an unbelievable
number of
missiles
and um in my opinion the uh Ran's Play
and esb's play is to just keep building
up the enemy forces until they can do
one attack that destroys Israel in one
go and they're getting close to being
able to do that so if Israel doesn't
destroy them completely I would I would
say that's a strategic
error so I'd say it's guaranteed and
again I'm not I'm not for it or against
it I don't have any power over it I'm
just watching there will be war with ESB
guarantee
it CBS news cryptically says that the
upcoming presidential debate that Biden
will have
surprises and that might include his
physical performance what the hell does
that mean
what the hell does that
mean by the way there's something wrong
with my lighting I can't I can't get
this part of the screen I thought maybe
the camera was Fuzzy or something but no
matter how I change the lighting it
doesn't change that big smudge in the
corner I'll work on that anyway so I
don't know what it means that Biden
would have a physical performance
surprise the way it was spoken it was
like it would be on the upside as in he
would be maybe physically better than
you thought or or what is it going to
show up with a cane and a walker are
they going to push him out in a
wheelchair I mean how's that going to
work oh God I hope they
don't oh
no what would happen if he if they
pushed him out in the
wheelchair and they said his brain is
still great but I have to admit his
walking is a little dangerous now he
might fall over
so he could still walk but for a lot of
purposes we're going to wheel him around
because you know his walking is not so
good I feel like he would get a sympathy
vote that he wouldn't otherwise
get and I think it would take uh Trump's
ability to mock him completely
away because if they said his brain is
good but we admit you know his body's
got some issues it's very that would be
very disarming
I don't think they'll do
that but it makes you wonder how it
would go might actually might actually
be a winning play I don't know could be
because you know we're just sort of
naturally trained that if you see
somebody who's supposed to be the leader
but they're acting weak you can go after
them but you take that same leader and
you put them legitimately in in a
wheelchair and we agree he should be in
it that really takes the fire out of
your your criticism right because at
that point you're saying all right are
you saying that just because your legs
don't work you can't be a president no
nobody wants to say that that would
really be devastating
actually but it could go the other way
too people might say I don't want my
president to look weak and they might
say if he can't stand up he looks weak
could go either way I don't know how
that would go that'd be an interesting
poll wouldn't it would you be more
likely to vote for uh by if he accepted
the
wheelchair which he probably
should anyway maybe there will be
surprises we don't
know
um and uh let's see sourcers are saying
that Biden's going to boast about his
Reproductive Rights agenda his positions
on issues of democracy and that he has
an upper hand on the economy
um so here's what I would expect Trump
to respond with when Biden says uh he
boasts about Reproductive Rights Trump
can say that the Democrats are trying to
draft
women which is
real that that's a real thing that's
happening now now that's not Biden per
se and he might say he's against it but
it's his
team and if and if Democrats are in
charge maybe women will get drafted or
at least they'll have to register so the
the current proposal is that they would
have to register not that they would be
drafted so I think that's a winning play
if if Trump says Reproductive Rights I
just took myself out of that see the the
frame that Trump has not embraced it's
the winning frame they say Joe Biden
there's one thing that every woman in
the United States can agree with me on
that I should not be the one deciding
what they do with their body can we
agree on that Joe Biden will you agree
with me that I Donald Trump should not
be involved in decisions about women's
bodies because that's what I gave you I
took it out of my hands took it to the
states and the states are closer to the
the
person so the closer it is to the the
people in the state the more credible
the outcome will be of the laws but can
we both agree that taking myself and
that decision making process is better
for
everybody there's no way you lose on
that
message because it's completely it's
it's basically a kill shot on the other
hand you're looking to draft our
daughters you're looking to draft our
daughters your
team and do you disavow the Democrats or
do you think that's a good idea to
register our women for the the military
while you're while you're
running two hot
Wars which he
is um I'd also say that uh Reproductive
Rights aren't worth anything if you live
in a lawless land where it's too
dangerous to have a
family
and that Joe Biden uh you you could at
the trans thing You' say if you cared
about women you wouldn't let 600b men
play women's
sports or some version of that that
doesn't sound
too
bigoted when uh when when Joe does his
fake fake hoaxes about the Democracy
Trump's trying to steal your democracy I
would first of all mock it and say
something like have you all noticed that
most of Joe's complaints are about
things that are
imaginary he imagines that I did this he
imagines that I'm going to be a dictator
how exactly would I become a dictator in
a country full of people who have been
trained to kill
dictators if he had an audience it would
be more uh yeah here here's the
thing here's the thing that he'll never
say but it would be a
killshot you worry that I'll become a
dictator it's like you don't even know
what a republican is a republican is
someone who's uh got you know filty to
the
institution that's our basic nature even
if you imagined I went rogue and tried
to become a dictator the other
Republicans would kill me immediately
and
should imagine him saying that if I ever
tried to become a dictator you could
rely on Republicans killing me and they
should because that's what a republican
is that's why we have the
guns yeah now you would never forget
that would you now again this is all
fantasy politics he's not going to say
it because I suggest it uh but there are
so many Avenues of complete
Annihilation that that Trump has he just
has to pick one he has
probably I don't think I'm exaggerating
he probably has 12 kill shots that would
take Biden completely out of the race
probably at least 12 Avenues he can just
pick the one he likes doesn't have to be
that one
anyway he could mention that uh Biden's
Administration created a department to
hunt Republicans and put Brennan and
Clapper in charge of it imagine just
saying
that is it true you created a department
literally to Target Trump voters and you
put your same guys who ran the Russia
collusion hoax and the lapt hoax in
charge of it and they're the ones that
you put in charge of hunting Republicans
you know your news isn't covering that
but when it was discovered you to
disband it the reason you disbanded it
was because it was exactly what it
looked like it was hunting
Republicans there was no other reason it
was disbanded it was simply
discovered you've completely given up
you know between your censorship of
social media your complete domination of
the lying
media your law fairing of presidents and
January 6 people your complete hoax
mentality that everything you talk about
is a
hoax you know you're the one taking the
democracy and then on the economy
they'll just both lie about stuff so um
apparently the only way you can talk
about the economy if you're running for
president is you literally just make up
they're they both do
it but here's here's where the President
should call them out uh Biden will
definitely say he created more jobs and
that Trump lost jobs here's what you say
Joe Biden I don't think you should talk
about the economy if you can't figure
out how to handle the fact that we were
in a pandemic if you're comparing a
pandemic to our normal economy you're
just lying to the public or you don't
understand anything about how economics
Works whoever had been president after
the pandemic was going to have major job
growth unless the whole country
disappeared and it didn't so when you
stand up here and lie and say you
created jobs I think the country is
smart enough to know that jobs were of
course going to be created after you no
longer shut down the whole
country you
fascist probably without the F
wordss but I mean look look at the
number of
attacks the the number of kill shots is
just crazy I mean this is going to be
the greatest show on Earth I can't wait
for the debate and I will I will be live
streaming it by the way all right um
there's a new data on vaccinations
danger uh William mackus MD was talking
about this I guess they did a study and
the other people on the study were uh Dr
McCulla Dr
try emmerling gesling and uh
re and Alexander And hudin so there's a
bunch of doctors what they did is they
looked through a bunch of
autopsy reports from the past and they
looked at people who uh died not too
long after having a vaccination and uh
then they put together a little study
and they said that we found that 74% of
deaths were directly due to or
significantly contributed to by covid
vaccinations so they looked at 325
autopsy
case
now do you trust that
study let let's do our uh fake news
Discovery stuff well the first thing you
should do is know the players is there
any name on the list who has ever done
anything that was clearly fake
news the answer is
yes but if I tell you what it is you're
going to argue with me and I don't want
to get in that argument so the first
thing you need to know is there's at
least one person on that list who's
quite famous for a particular piece of
fake news but I'm not going to get into
it I'm just going to say that's how
that's what you would look for right
okay I'll say it anybody who was in
favor who thought that the athletes were
dropping dead and that nobody was
talking about it on the actual
teams that's somebody you should raise
an eyebrow when they have another
study one of them is selling uh one of
them is selling a product
that alleges to cure you of your
potential vax
damage to it'll remove the spike protein
so one of them makes money if you think
that the vaccinations were dangerous and
you've got some poison in your body that
he can help you get rid of should you
trust
science where one of the members has a
very public it nothing's hidden is very
public uh Financial incentive no no you
should not how about how much should you
trust just a study just any study how
much should you trust that well
historically half of all scientific
studies are not
reproducible meaning that it's a coin
flip now the question
was does the vax injure you or does it
not right it's binary does it injure you
or does it not now there's a little bit
of a Nuance because everybody knew that
that every new medicine injures somebody
so it's not a question of whether there
was at least one person who got hurt we
all agree that at least one person got
hurt that's just how medicine works but
is it like a deadly problem or is it
more like you know ordinary vaccination
risk which might not be so ordinary
after all um so just just hold this in
your mind a scientific study is a coin
flip you you as the cons consumer of
that news don't know if it's right or
wrong it's a coin flip
50/50 so if it's
50/50 and one of the members is making
money
from the uh belief that uh you can be
cured of this
condition and it's a um what kind what
kind of studies are the goldplated ones
you've heard this right there's a kind
of science that's a gold
standard and it's a randomized
controlled
trial so the
randomized is important so that you
don't accidentally study the wrong body
of data you know you make sure it's
appropriate uh you want it to be big
because the bigger the number of people
the more likely you're going to get a
good
result and you want it so you want it
big um and you want to have a
control you know you want to have a
control group so you know that um what's
happening so a good study would
predict what's going to happen and it
would have a control group and then you
would do the thing and then you would
compare the control group to the other
one and you'd have lots of people
involved and it would be peer reviewed
and all that that would be a good
study this one was not that so it was no
there was no uh control group it was a
study of studies that had been just
digging up data so it's more
like a study than a scientific
trial a a goldplated scientific trial is
probably also a 50/50 in today's world
because the people who can afford to do
a huge study are the ones who have
Financial
interests so I would say that even the
goldplated best study at least in this
domain is probably closer to a tossup we
used to think that was closer to you
know 80 or 90% chance is true but in
today's world we know everybody's just
working for money um maybe
5050 now since it's not a it's not one
of those goldplated standards it's just
a study of studies you don't have the
the good
randomization you don't have a control
group and you don't have a
prediction that you know if you do the
thing a thing will happen so it doesn't
have most of the conditions for the best
most reliable data and in fact there
several conditions that are heavy
signals for not being
true um and they looked at 325 autopsy
cases do you know that the 325 were
randomly selected and is there anything
about some groups of people that might
make a
difference and do you think that the
people who
die um or the people most most likely to
get the vaccination were the people
closest to death in the first place
because in theory the people who were
most enthusiastically vaccinated were
the ones who had the most to worry about
most likely to die on their own anyway
did they sort that out I don't
know so here's what I'd say uh I'm not
saying that it's not
true it does seem to me that the
vaccination um has plenty to worry about
so I'm not doubting the outcome I'm just
saying that if you believed it because
scientists did a study you missed the
whole
show right you have to look at who the
scientists are is there money involved
how big is it is there a control is it a
big enough group is it randomized it
wasn't any of
those
so uh that is not a that is not an
opinion of what is true or false about
vaccinations I didn't even talk about
that I'm only talking about what you
should believe when you see the
news
anyway that ladies and gentlemen is all
I had for today's amazing show and I'm
going to say goodbye now to the uh folks
on the other platforms but before I go
let me give you a uh preview on Tuesday
of this week at uh if all goes well
could change but if all goes well at
Tuesday of the coming week
at 11:00 a.m. Pacific which would be uh
2: p.m. eastern time um I've arranged to
talk to Michael Ian Black who is uh an
online presence in the political
conversation um he has very Democrat
Centric kind of views and I caught his
attention by posting that all the news
is fake and he questions how I know
anything's true and why do I keep
reposting the news if I think it's all
fake and those I say are good questions
and so rather than uh discuss what would
be oh by the way if you if you don't
know him he's uh well-known uh comedian
writer actor kind of person
so uh I'll I'll ask him how he wants to
be introduced but he's got a variety of
skills
and uh rather than talk about what's
true which would immediately get us off
the rails because we'll never agree
what's true um I agreed and he agreed
that what I talk about is how I can tell
when the news isn't real and I think
that would be
fascinating like a great public
conversation because we'll go through
things like the Scott Alexander
rule that if you see a story that um
well you'll never see a story that says
dog bit man because that's too boring
for the news but if you ever see a story
that a man bit a dog it probably didn't
happen that's the Scott Alexander rule
because it's too Fantastical and
Fantastical
stories almost are never true and if you
know the players you also know it's true
and if you know somebody's getting
paid you also know something so those
are just that's just a sample but
they're probably I don't know 20
different things that I've taught you
about how to spot fake
news and and I thought it would be
really useful to run over that list with
him and just see if he kind of tracks
with the
tools not necessarily the
conclusions because I think that's I
think that's where you find the common
ground because I'm not going to tell him
that um everything the news on the right
is true and the news on the left is
wrong yeah the Scott Alexander rule is
if it looks to too amazing to believe or
too incredible to believe it probably
wasn't true right and it's very
consistent you'll see that all the
time
okay all right um so we'll look for that
and everybody on you Youtube and Rumble
and X I'll see you tomorrow same time
same place and uh locals here I got
