Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time, and today's going to be extra special because the news has got all kinds of stuff. There's things happening all over the place. We'll talk about them, and they're all interesting. Weirdly, a super interesting day. Comments are working, technology is working, allergies are not so bad. We're in good shape.

Story number one. You didn't even need to hear this because you already knew. Yes, you are so far ahead of science that when you hear this you're going to say, "Scott, I knew that." So there's a new study that says YouTubers can fulfill emotional needs better than casual friends. So there's a new study that says if you're watching somebody on YouTube and you do it on a regular basis, that you can have your emotional needs fulfilled even though it's sort of a one-way conversation.

That's what I'm doing. Years ago I wrote that I would be your invisible friend, but now I'm not invisible thanks to technology. Here I am. So if you haven't caught how Coffee with Scott Adams works, it's more than just the livestream. The members on the Locals community at scott.locals.com are basically friends. There just happen to be a lot of us. So if you want to be part of it, I will be your non-invisible friend, and it's way better than not having friends. Some say it's better than having friends. Yeah, some say. But I think you should have friends too. But if you don't and you don't have enough, I will be your visible friend. Apparently science agrees.

All right. I saw this great post from Fisher King, which is an anonymous name, about being a night owl. He says being a night owl isn't about staying up late for whatever reason to drink or party. It's about feeling a release of tension, an ease in the dark that lets you do the work and study that makes you happy. Something about broad daylight creates a pressure to be involved with things, move with the hustle and bustle of people in the streets when you really need solitude and silence.

Now first of all, I agree with the statement that working when everybody else is asleep is the best time. But oh my God, is the writing in this good. The release of tension and ease in the dark. I just love the choice of words. And I would say also that working early in the morning cures my ADHD. In the afternoon my brain's all over the place. I can't concentrate. In the morning when it's dark and everybody else is asleep and it's too cold to be outdoors and I wouldn't want to be outdoors anyway, my whole world shrinks to the size of my desk. And I even keep it dark. Only my desk area is lighted. Everything else is complete dark and silence. Otherwise I can't concentrate.

Now I recommend this. In this case Fisher King prefers the night hours. I prefer the early morning hours. But more generally, creative work is best done between midnight and 8 a.m. I like the 4:30 to 8 a.m. part. Other people like the midnight to 4 a.m. part. But it's the same part. That's where you can really focus on who you are and your creative process.

So just think about that. If you're having a problem concentrating on the things you need to move forward, think about experimenting either late at night if you don't have to get up or early in the morning. It turns out people are very different. You can't all be morning people. I used to think you could, but now I think you can't make yourself be a morning person. But you might be easy to be a 12 to 2 person.

Axios is reporting there's a big movement to ban cell phones in schools, to which every single person here who has any experience with children in schools and cell phones said, "Wait a minute. They weren't already banned? What? They weren't already banned in school?" Well, they were sort of banned in the terms that you couldn't use it during class, but everybody just used it under their desk. So everybody was just sort of like this. There's no way you could possibly concentrate on your class and do that at the same time.

However, I've got a provocative hypothesis. We assume that the children will learn better and be better off if they don't have the distraction of their phones because it's common sense. Am I right? What could be more obvious than you don't want people distracted when they're trying to learn? Well, let me throw in a little bit of a thinker. What are we preparing kids for? Are we preparing them for a world that doesn't exist or for a world that does exist? And the world that does exist is full of distractions.

If you can't learn to do your classwork and use your phone in class, you're never going to make it in the real world. You didn't see that coming, did you? Yeah. When I took an employment test for Pacific Bell when I was very young, part of the test was a distraction test. Have you ever heard of this? I think it was common in the Bell system at some time. They would literally give you a test and then they would distract you every minute or something, and the entire thing was to see if you could do ordinary tasks in the context of being distracted every few seconds. And if you couldn't do it, they didn't want to hire you because the real world is about lots of distractions.

So it could be that while it's definitely true your kids aren't learning as much, that it's creating a filter that the people who can survive that kind of environment learn to do it better. We might be surprised at which one of these we want. Now I don't think you can disturb the classroom situation. That's a different thing. But we might find that you've got to teach kids to deal with distractions because that's what the real world is. Maybe I'm just putting it out there as a hypothesis. I am not in favor of kids having cell phones in schools. I'm not in favor of that. Just hear that clearly. But I'll just put it out there as a hypothesis. We're not entirely sure what's true. We live in a world where you don't know.

I see what you're saying. Did we forget something? Something very important called the simultaneous sip. And you feel the lack, don't you? Yeah, you can feel it. You're incomplete. Well, if you'd like to be complete, all you need is a coffee mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, or a canteen, jug, or flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Go.

This brings me perfectly to a topic that was upcoming. Did you feel the need for the simultaneous sip because you developed a habit and it had a reward? You felt it, right? So you can feel that I have rewired your brains in a very specific way intentionally, you know, with your permission because you obviously knew what was happening. And you now have a new habit or a new piece of circuitry. This is something the hypnotist can do, right? Not just hypnotists, of course, but hypnotists know how to add a little brain circuitry where there wasn't one before. We can connect two things that weren't connected, and they'll stay connected because the circuitry is physically there once it's created.

Now take that thought and apply it to the next topic. Coincidentally, I have a theory that time blindness, so-called time blindness — do you know people who have time blindness? They used to call it ADHD or it's an element of it or maybe it's something else — but it's the idea that some people can't be on time because they're just blind to time.

Now how many times have we seen that? I've cured a condition that was incurable. If you're new to the stream you just said, "What?" All right, here. This is for the new people. This is just to give a shock to the system. If you're new to the stream, I've cured more people than Jesus. That's literally true. Now Jesus is better than me. Let me be clear. Jesus is way better than me. I'm not comparing myself to Jesus. I'm just giving you a data point. See, Jesus didn't have social media. So when he was doing his cures, he was doing one-offs. It's like, "What'd you do today, Jesus?" "Well, I cured three lepers and a blind guy." Well, that's pretty impressive. That's really impressive. I can't do that. But if I come up with a cure for something, I can tell a million people, right?

So I've cured probably thousands of people of peeing shyness, that's shy bladder, just with the hypnosis essentially. I've cured the common sneeze. I wrote about that in my book *Reframe Your Brain*. Not every kind of sneeze, but I taught you a mental trick to make a sneeze go away by imagining you're sneezing instead of actually sneezing. Now you didn't see that coming, did you? I've also cured a number of people of an incurable speaking problem, one I had, and I've suggested people maybe looking for the surgery, and a number of people got the surgery and got cured. So I've cured them just by information in that case. They didn't know there was a cure. I set them up, they got a cure. Likewise with the reframe. Alcohol is poison. Probably hundreds, maybe more, have told me they stopped drinking forever just from the words "alcohol is poison" because that allowed them to see it in a different frame and then it was easier to quit.

I get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, who told me that they dropped 50 and 60 pounds. How much healthier are you if you drop 60 pounds? Probably a lot. So I do have a track record of literally curing people of — and that's just a partial list — of debilitating, uncurable, or hard-to-cure problems. You have to know that because the next thing I'm going to say is so wildly improbable that if you didn't have the context you would say, "I'm not even going to listen to what you say because you're so wildly crazy." But if you knew that I have in fact cured a number of major problems in public — I do it in public and then people can see it. You can see the comments. You can see it yourself. I'm going to cure time blindness now.

Now you're going to say to yourself, "Scott, Scott, why don't you just listen to the experts?" Are you kidding me? Have you heard from the experts lately? Apparently the experts are wrong about just about everything all the time. That's not true, of course, but it feels like it lately. So I don't even blink when somebody says, "I'm going to tell you something that's opposite of science now and I think I'm right." There was a time I would have said, "Come on, don't waste my time saying that you know something that science got wrong." But these days I'm willing to listen. I'll tell you I'm a lot less cocky than I used to be about my science. I used to be one of those. It's like, "Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but do you know that all of science disagrees with you? How about that? I win. Science is on my side. Yeah, yeah, me and science. We're like bros together. We can conquer everything." And then I found out that my bro science was a big liar. Science is — I can't trust it at all.

All right. So with that setup, I give you the following. I don't think that people have time blindness. I think that a hypnotist with a little bit of work — and it would take some A-B testing. I don't think I can get it on the first try — I think you could find a piece of circuitry that you can connect for the first time with people who say they have time blindness, and you can cure it. In other words, you can build a habit that would just be automatic as much as the simultaneous sip. And I don't know exactly how to do it, but I'll give you some things I would try.

I have an observation, and I don't know if any of you can back this up. So this is not real data. This is just anecdotal. I believe that people who have time blindness often were in a situation where they could spend lots of time alone. In other words, they had their own bedroom when they were young and maybe their own bathroom so that they could be time blind without any external thing affecting them, and so it would never get fixed. So their lateness is when you're not watching. In other words, if somebody who has time blindness stood right next to me and I said, "Here's what we're going to do. We're going to chop up these vegetables." All right, and I'll take a piece of broccoli. I'll say, "Okay, you take a piece of broccoli right now. Do it the same time I do it. Right now. Let's see if we can finish at the same time." We're just chopping broccoli. I'm chopping, you're chopping. Do you think that they couldn't do it? Do you think that the person standing right next to you would be time blind and then they wouldn't be able to chop broccoli and be done about the same time you were? No, they would, because you would be their external clock. You would be the clock. They wouldn't think of it that way, but they would just automatically match your pace.

Now suppose you put that person in a repeated bunch of situations where you create artificial situations where they just have to do things at the same way, in the same time, and the same exact sequence as a person who doesn't have time blindness. Then secondly, you do a little test. You say, "Hey, we're going to do a little test. Try to tell me when you think seven minutes is up." And then you just see how close they get. Now sometimes they'll forget to even answer. It'll be like an hour later and you'll say, "Okay, do you remember that you were going to tell me when seven minutes was up?" And it might be wildly impossible at first. But I'll bet you that if you get people to feel physically what it's like to be next to somebody who knows what time is and feels it, that you would learn to feel it. Much like I'm the worst drummer in the world. You know, I try to play the drums, but if I watch a good drummer on YouTube, my drumming instantly gets better just from the exposure. It doesn't last, but I can pick up like a little extra funk or something just immediately.

So I believe that people might learn their sense of time from exposure to other people. Here's another example. This is my favorite one. I use this example a lot. The way you train a herding dog like a sheep dog to herd the sheep is you just introduce a new dog. That's it. That's the training. The new dog just watches the trained dog, and in a really short time, a few days, the new dog becomes a sheep dog just from exposure to, "Oh, you do that? I'll do that. Looks like you're having fun. I'll have fun."

Secondly, I also observe that people with time blindness do not get a dopamine hit from being on time, but I do. I get a dopamine hit from doing boring things efficiently. People who have time blindness will tell you, "If I'm doing a boring thing, my brain just checks out. I can't concentrate on a boring thing." But I say, "How do you ever have a boring thing? How do you ever have a boring thing? I never have a boring thing. I have challenges." So if something's boring, I say, "How's the fastest way I can make this finish in a way nobody's ever done it so fast?" And then it's a challenge and then it's interesting. And if I can do that thing that takes an hour and 45 minutes, the next day I say, "I'll bet I could do it in 44 minutes." So I never — I'm never bored. I'm always creating a challenge.

Now these are habits. Could you install these habits or something like them? I don't think I've necessarily hit the answer yet. I just believe that the missing piece of circuitry is something that's completely fixable because brains are programmable. And that little free-floating thing that doesn't connect your sense of time to what you're doing at the moment, I could connect those. I could connect those. And I'll bet any hypnotist could. Any really good hypnotist. I don't think you can do it with a therapist necessarily. I don't think you can do it with a pill necessarily. I do think a hypnotist could do it with some people over time. It might take a little experimenting. So I just put that out there that I think we have a complete wrong understanding of time blindness and what to do about it.

The Tate brothers won their appeal. So the appeal allows them to travel. I guess they still have legal peril, but at the moment as long as they're free they can now travel in Europe. Now I ask you, why couldn't they travel in Europe before? What changed between the time they had to be in jail to the time they were allowed to be out but in Romania to the time now that they could travel? Obviously being flight risks. Is this sort of the cat's on the roof? Is this the first step toward an admission that the charges were complete bullshit? Because you know I'm no fan of Andrew Tate just for personal reasons, not because of what he says. I actually like what he says. I like his act. I don't like him personally as a human being. That's just personal interactions with him. But everything about the legal peril that they're in just screamed not real. It just screamed like somebody was out to get them and they were lawfare-ing him in Romania, the worst possible thing that could happen to you. So keep an eye on that.

Yes, if I had to predict, I'm going to predict that they don't go to jail and that we someday learn the charges were complete bullshit and that they came from another country. In other words, I'll bet Romania was doing a favor to some other country for some other reason. Somebody didn't like them. That's what I think because there are just too many people who have a certain kind of view who have bad luck. Have you noticed that? Alex Jones. Well, you know that's a special case because of the thing he said. And you know, kind of bad luck. And then Andrew Tate as well. You know, yeah, you have to understand he probably did some bad things in addition to the things he was saying, so the bad things catch up with you maybe. And this cartoonist got cancelled for what he said. But you know, you have to understand it's what he said. It's a special case. There certainly are a lot of special cases, aren't there? Have you noticed how many special cases there are that all seem to go in one direction? Because I don't see a lot of special cases on the left. Just a lot of special cases on the right. So watch out for the special cases. They may not be as special as you think.

Tucker Carlson got fired from Fox News, but that was a special case because he said something about the elections, right? Maybe there are no special cases.

Speaking of Tucker, he said that he's got an interview lined up and he's going to talk to Zelensky. Zelensky's people said nope, nothing like that happened. There is nobody in Zelensky's office who believes that that's true. He has a full schedule and his schedule is not involving Tucker, and it's completely made up. And maybe he shouldn't believe things that Russians tell him. Do you think he got pranked? Do you think that some Russian pretended to be a Zelensky person? Yeah, how would you really know? I mean if somebody called me and said, "Oh, is this Scott Adams?" I'd be, "Yes." "Oh, this is Zelensky's office. This is my Ukrainian accent. You recognize it? Ukrainian accent. This is you Ukrainian office of Zelensky. We very much like to interview with you." How would I know it's not Zelensky? You know, I suppose you could ask the government, but if you're Tucker the government's not even going to return your call. It would be pretty easy to get pranked.

And I'd like to give you the extra, extra, extra caution. You have to stop believing every audio source for everything, even if it's live. You have to learn to not trust any audio source, even live, even if you're having a conversation live. You don't know if you're even talking to a person anymore. You really don't. Remember, AI has passed the Turing test. That means that literally, scientifically, a human can't tell they're talking to an AI all the time. Sometimes you can. So don't trust anything. Could be a prank, could be an AI, could be an op. There's just nothing you can trust.

Anyway, meanwhile up in Canada the woke Canadians are having an experiment with their first 15-minute city. So the city of Edmonton is going to divide itself into 15 little parts, and then all of them will be places that if you live in one of those little parts you'll be able to get whatever you want within 15 minutes. And it'll be mostly mass transit. So everything would be more convenient and closer. Don't need as much climate change. Don't need to spend as much money. We'll talk about climate change later. And of course my audience is concerned that this would be Klaus Schwab's dream of globalizing everything and taking away your freedoms. So you don't want your city to be convenient because it'll take away your freedoms.

Now I of course have given you a little pushback on the idea that living in a city that's well designed for your convenience is really a plot to control you. Maybe it's just good for everybody. But I do acknowledge that this change would give people an easier way to control you. Would you agree that the 15-minute city would give the people in charge yet another way to control you? And of course they would, because every time you give them control they use it. Can we all agree that it does create a situation where maybe you don't have a car? It just feels like they would be able to control you better if you're in your little 15-minute city. It's not that you can't leave, but you won't have a car so you'll have to work at it a little bit harder if you want to leave.

Well, here's my context. When the automobile was first introduced into America, did it give you freedom or take it away? Well, it gave you freedom, right? Because you got to drive around. Well, did it? Because it came with all kinds of rules, what you could do, what you couldn't do. And then you got to the point where you had to have a car. You didn't even have an option. So cars started out as, "Well, isn't that cool?" till they're mandatory. Really? How could you live a modern life without one?

You know, at some point. So then you had phones. When telephones were introduced, the government got a way to spy on all of you because they could tap your phones with any good reason. So was the telephone a good idea or a bad idea? Because it guaranteed you lost your privacy. You know the government could listen to anything they wanted. But the telephone was useful, you know, sort of like a 15-minute city. It's just that you gave up your privacy. But then you had a computer. Wow, computers were great, right? You could do so many things. But it gave the government a way not to just spy on one phone call but they could learn everything you've ever done, everything you care about, everybody you've talked to, everything you've said. You gave up all of your freedom because computers are really cool and they're useful and they're great. So were computers a bad idea? Well, they gave up all of your freedom. Depends. Do you like freedom? Because you lost it. But the computers are cool too. Games and you can do things. They have apps.

How about security cameras? You know it's great that you could have a security camera to feel safe. You know it keeps the bad guys away, easier to catch them. But then that meant you were on security cameras everywhere you went. So you gave up all of your physical freedom in the sense of people not knowing where you are at any given time because they also added facial recognition. So security cameras are great when you agree it keeps you safe. Also took away all your freedom. So now you don't have the ability to travel without being spotted.

How about facial recognition? Great stuff. The convenience of it. You could tell if somebody is a real person. We don't do this yet but we will. If you go to the store you don't have your ID, wouldn't it be great if they just use facial recognition? I mean I use it on my phone all the time. I hated putting in my password in my phone. Now I just, you know, phone just looks at my face. My God, that's great. That is a great, great thing that took away all my privacy.

I've got one of those digital devices from Amazon whose name I dare not say. It's amazing. I can't tell you how much my life is because I can just talk to that thing all day long. I'm talking to it. I've got one in all my major rooms. I talk to it all day long. I'm asking it questions and checking things. It's great. It also listens to everything I do or could. And if the government wanted to listen to me in every room they could. But it's really cool. I really enjoy it.

So I would argue that the most common thing for us — and we'll see it with AI as well. AI is really useful. It's great. Do you think AI will take away some of your freedoms? Of course it will. Do you think AI will take away your jobs? Of course it will. Do you think that your ability to even experience the feeling of free will will be diminished greatly by AI? Yes, yes it will. How about the robots that are going to be in your house? You can actually have a robot connected to the internet with eyes and a brain watching everything you do. But it's going to be so cool. I'm going to get one. I'm going to get one. Yeah. And it's going to be watching me just like a spy. And the government could probably take over that robot's brain anytime it wanted, watch everything that I do, and even tell the robot to look around.

I think that at some point the government, if it has a warrant, will be able to listen to this. The government will be able to order your robot to search your house while you're at work. Yeah, your robot will be ordered to watch your passwords as you type them into your computer. Oh yeah, that's coming. But are you not going to get a robot? You will get a robot. We're all going to have a robot. We're all going to have robots. And you're going to give away whatever's left, the last shred of your independence from the government.

So when you tell me, "Scott, you idiot, don't you understand that the 15-minute cities are part of the global conspiracy to take away your freedoms?" I say of course I understand that. I understood it about the phone, the car, the computer. I understand it about my digital devices. I understand it about security cameras. I understand it about AI. I understand it about robots. It's going to happen anyway. And I for one am in favor of designing cities to be more efficient. And if you're concerned about taking your freedom, I would say you're completely right and it probably doesn't matter because you've given away your freedom so many times there's no freedom left. And what the hell are they going to do to you that they can't already do? I mean really. You're afraid of the digital money because then they'll know exactly what you're doing with your money. If you're using a credit card they already know what you're doing with your money. It's only cash that matters. And cash is mostly used for sketchy reasons right now, to avoid taxes basically or buy drugs, I guess.

Anyway, here's a new report. I'm going to test your bias. The RNC research account on X reports that the official jobs number from the last two months has been revised downward by 111,000. So surprise, right? The jobs report looked really good and then just like you knew it got revised down quite a bit. Quite a bit. That's a big number.

Now here's a test of your knowledge of the news. True or false? Here's a true or false test. True or false: In the election here when Biden is in charge and therefore the government is sort of pro-Biden, one assumes that they are going to lie about the jobs numbers consistently while he's in office and then there'll be like a little correction later that they hope you don't notice. True or false? The news consistently says the jobs are good and then quietly corrects it later where you don't notice. True or false? I'll read your answers. True, true, true, true, true, true. You've all seen it. You've seen it with your own eyes. So therefore it's true. Yep, it's not true.

Do you know how I know it's not true? Because in my ongoing conversation with Michael Ian Black, who represents let's say almost the polar opposite of my political views, I mentioned that to him. I said, "You know, conservatives see this but you probably don't, that those job numbers that look good, they always — maybe not 100% of the time but pretty much you could depend — usually they're going to get revised down and then you won't notice the revision." And he said, "Well, that's not true." And I said, "Come on, it's the most obviously true thing in the news. How do you not know that? It's like almost every month it seems they say the numbers were good and then a month later they're not so good." And he said, "But I remember them being revised in both directions, not just one way. Sometimes they go up, sometimes they don't."

And I said to myself, well that can't be true because I only see them revised down. And so I checked. Turns out that they're revised up sometimes and down sometimes. And that a Republican entity will tell me when they've been revised down and they won't tell me when they've been revised up. So Michael Ian Black for the win. His version of the news was accurate. My version of the news was 100% win, which I told him by the way. 100%. His news was accurate. Mine was — and it wasn't wrong in terms of the accuracy. It was just what I saw. So I don't see anybody posting, "Well those numbers are way better than we thought." But today I saw the RNC research number telling me. And here's what Zero Hedge said, something like, you know, "Here it comes. Here it goes again," or something like that. So Zero Hedge presented it as the "here it is again, here's what they always do." But they don't. They don't always do that.

What is true is that when they do it you see it because Republicans are more likely to send that around social media. So if that tricked you the way it tricked me, do your own research. Just check. You'll see.

All right, here's another fake news. There was some news that there was some document suggesting that Mike Flynn would be the VP choice. He says that it's not true and that the filing — he debunked it. So basically Flynn says there's no filing. That's not a real thing. Now that doesn't mean that he's not going to be the choice for vice president. I don't think he will be. But it's just that this document is fake. So if you believe that document was real, check yourself because it was fake.

Now I didn't really have — I guess I suspected it was fake because I heard the story and yet I didn't think it was important enough to talk about. I think I mentioned it was new but it never seemed important to me. And it would have been important if I thought it was true. So I guess I never believed it enough to make it a big deal. So I guess I can take a partial victory in that I wasn't convinced of this one. But I could have made a bigger — I could have said more directly that I was skeptical. So I think I'll correct score on that.

All right. So I saw Tucker saying this the other day on a video that you really have to restate in your mind everything that you think you believed about history because we're living through history that will someday be in history books. And we can see with our own eyes and our own ears that what will be written in the history books will not be real. And yet we can be sure that children will be taught it as if it's real.

The fact that the media tried to tell us that Biden's problem was a cold and a stutter — well, let's say they were not lying as obviously as they are. If you had to revise your understanding of history you might say to yourself, you know, all right I got to take this under consideration. There was a time I was told from the historians that Stalin was a bad dude and he killed a bunch of people that is considered one of the greatest evils in history of the world. But now I'm wondering if he didn't just have a cold and a stutter. No. Well, they're telling us that a cold and a stutter can make you act in a way that no person normally acts. People don't normally want to kill 20 million of their own people. That's not normal. So how do we know he didn't just — maybe it's just a passing thing, just a cold and a stutter.

All right, I'm kidding. But how ridiculous is it that they're still trying to tell us it might be a cold and a stutter? And oh by the way he was also jet-lagged. And by the way it's just normal aging.

Here's a little trick I learned from my who I call my smartest Democrat friend. I mention him all the time. But one of the things he taught me years ago was if somebody has one reason, one explanation for something, it might be true and it might be false. You don't know. Just one explanation. But if somebody offers you three competing explanations, it's always — why were you late? "Oh, traffic was bad and I had a flat tire." Okay, if it was only traffic was bad maybe. But if traffic was bad and you had a flat tire, suddenly it doesn't sound as true. He had a problem because he had a cold and a stutter and international travel 12 days ago and it's just normal aging. As soon as you get that second or third excuse all doubt should be removed about whether it's true. Nope. You get to that third one and that's pretty confirming that it's not real.

All right. Now the latest is that Biden is telling Democratic governors that he's going to go to sleep by 8:00 p.m. because he needs more sleep. No, nothing wrong with that. Totally normal. You know, you want him to be sharp at 3:00 a.m. when he gets that call about the nuclear attack and we'll say he's in good shape, went to bed at 8. Yeah, that would sound like yet another maybe a fourth excuse. Not just jet lag but in general not enough sleep. But he also has a cold and a stutter. And Trump's old too. Trump's old too, in case I didn't mention that. Trump's old too. So that would be like five things.

All right. I would recommend that whenever you hear somebody in the news tell you that the problem is he had a cold that you translate it into your head into Monty Python talk because here's what's not funny. Jean-Claude Juncker or whoever saying, "But people, it's very clear. I've been very clear. Very, very clear. He had a cold. He had a cold. Have I told you I've been clear? I don't know if I mentioned I've been clear. Very clear. It was just a cold, people." Now that's not funny. Here's funny. "It's just a cold." "Well but it looked like he couldn't even talk." "It's just a cold. He's fine. He's just got a cold." Now you're probably realizing right now he can't do a Monty Python accent to save his ass. It sounded exactly like his Ukrainian accent and that wasn't good to begin with. Okay, that's true. So you have to do your own Monty Python in your head. You don't do mine. Mine's not good.

Well, Miranda Divine tells us — is it Divine or Devine? Probably Divine. Miranda Divine, right? Is it Devine or Divine? It's so hard, the names that don't tell you how to pronounce them by looking at them. Anyway, Miranda, who's great, she was saying on a report recently on TV that every reporter on the campaign trail in 2020 could see with their own eyes that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline. He was very low energy. He had to have teleprompters for the smallest things. And his basic stump speeches, blah blah blah. Do you believe that? Do you believe that everybody could see it and the entire left-leaning news covered it up? That's funny.

Let's play lying, stupid, or crazy, or weak. I added weak because we're going to look at some people on the left and what they say about Biden and you get to decide: Are they lying? Are they stupid? Are they crazy? Or are they just weak?

Brian Stelter. Now that he knows that Biden has these problems and he was one of the ones saying there was no problem at all right up until the debate, he wrote, he said the record of how Biden's health was covered is complicated, just as aging is a complicated process. Is he lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? Lying, crazy, stupid, or weak? Is acting like maybe it wasn't so obvious. Yeah, maybe you couldn't really see it, you know, because of the complicated stuff. It's complicated. How could anybody see it when it's so complicated? I'm going to say lying and weak. Lying either because he's weak or he's weak and lying. It's a coincidence. I don't think he's crazy and I don't think he's stupid. I mean not that stupid.

All right, let's do another one. George Stephanopoulos. So he's going to do the conversation with Biden, I guess we'll see it today. And he is presumably going to give a lifeline to Biden if he can. As I think Ari Fleischer was pointing out, he says it's amazing to think Joe Biden's fate is in the hands of Bill Clinton's former communications director. George Stephanopoulos in 1992 helped save Clinton from a bimbo eruption. What will he do now for Biden? Save him or end him? It's possible that Stephanopoulos is being sent to end him because if the people who are really in power in the Democrat side need to end him they would send their best and he would do it.

Now is George Stephanopoulos lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? Lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? Because I think he was one of the people saying Biden's fine. What do you think? I'm going to say lying. Definitely not stupid. Definitely not crazy. Definitely not weak. Just lying. Yeah, that was easy.

How about Morning Joe? So apparently Joe came back to work after his scheduled vacation that apparently did not involve his wife. Okay, that's normal. And he took that scheduled vacation. Somebody pointed out soon after he disagreed with his wife on air and told her to calm down. I guess that's what gets you a vacation without your wife. If you'd like a vacation without your wife, just tell her to calm down. That'll get you a vacation without a wife. Maybe forever.

So anyway, Morning Joe comes back and you probably saw his rant about, "F you if you don't know that Biden is the best Biden there's ever been." And a few days later the best Biden decomposed in front of us. That was the best Biden. Now Morning Joe: lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? Lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? For Morning Joe, what do you say? I'm going to vote obviously lying but it looks like there's some mental health problems there. Yeah. So I would go with lying and crazy. He doesn't seem weak. I mean if you're weak you don't tell your wife to calm down on national TV. You might pay for it but it wasn't weak. His whole thing, he's not weak. All right. And he's not stupid. He's not stupid. Not even a little bit. So I'm going to go with lying and crazy.

All right, here's another one. Joy Reid did a video in which she said that it looks like Hitler is going to be elected. And it wasn't a joke. She was saying that in a real way. Trump is Hitler. Is she lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? I'm going to say crazy because she represented herself crazy. In other words she looked crazy. She had crazy eyes, crazy thoughts. There might be some lying mixed in but she's not stupid and she's not weak. She's definitely not weak. And there's no evidence she's stupid. There's plenty of evidence that she has a mental health problem and that she's lying.

What about Rachel Maddow? Lying, stupid, crazy, or weak? She's not stupid. She's smarter than all of us put together. All right, she's super smart. She's not weak because she's pushed through a lot of things to be on TV. But she does admit to some mental health issues, depression. But you can see more of that in her face. Like I don't know what the problem is and I do actually have some empathy for it. She looks like she's tortured. I would say mental health. I don't want to say crazy because that's what you say to somebody who's not under therapy. I'm pretty sure she's getting professional help. So I'm going to be more kind and not say crazy. I will say there's a mental health issue that's genuine and is serious. And I think we're all being sort of influenced by a mental health issue more than the news. All right, that's my take.

Now you can't know, but keep in mind we're not mind readers so we can't know that our conclusions are right here. We're just saying what it looks like. All right. And I would say I think that MSNBC has a duty to disclose their mental health situation. I mean that literally. And I'm not saying this about CNN. CNN has a bunch of people who say things I don't like sometimes. They're a lot better. They're moving toward the middle. But I don't see them looking crazy. Do you? I don't see them having mental health problems. I see Jake Tapper doing Jake Tapper. I see Wolf Blitzer doing Wolf Blitzer. You know, John King doing John King. None of them look crazy. Not even a little bit. But as soon as I turn on MSNBC it's not that they're more strident about Trump. It's not really that. They actually honestly without any spin or anything to me they represent as really obviously mentally ill.

Now here's where I'm going to get a little mad at the media. You can see it too. Everybody can see it. You can see it years ago with Biden. And here it is. Are you going to tell me you don't see it? Are you going to tell me you watch Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid and Joe Scarborough and you don't see really, really obvious mental illness? You don't see it? Can you actually say that to me? It's screamingly obvious. And here's how I check myself. On CNN I don't see it in other places. It's very unique to their situation. And I think they need to disclose whether they're under the care of a professional. I would like to know if the person who's telling me what my reality is is capable of understanding reality. Isn't that fair? I think they should tell us if they're under the care of a professional. You know, do you go to therapy? And why wouldn't you like to know that? Because if they're telling you what is real, don't you want to know if they've got a grasp on what's real? And I think they don't. To me it looks like they have legitimate mental health problems. Which by the way if they were to cop to them I would immediately change my tone and I would just go to empathy and I would say, "God, I hope you take care of that because that sounds terrible." I mean a mental health problem is just like being in hell. So I have full empathy for whatever is going on. It's just we need a little transparency here. I think it would be good for the country.

All right. Olivia Nuzzi. I don't know how to say her name either. She talks about the conspiracy of silence to protect the president. She said in January I began hearing similar stories from Democratic officials, activists, and donors who came away from interactions with Biden disturbed by what they had seen. And she said she's been writing about it for a while. And it made me wonder. I don't remember her talking about it but you know maybe I don't see all the news so that's not a surprise. And I wonder, should you revise your entire understanding of who to listen to in the future? I would say yes. I would say anybody who looked at Biden so obviously declining and told you with a straight face he's fine, you should never listen to them again.

I would go further and say that anybody who is an anti-Biden person who didn't also say, "And he's obviously declining mentally," if they didn't tell you that directly you should maybe not take them too seriously in the future. But I'd like to call out a couple of people who for years have been saying Biden's brain is fried. Right now you know some of them. And this is not a complete list but Greg Gutfeld. How long has Greg Gutfeld been telling you loudly in public on his shows Biden's brain is not there, it's obvious? So the next time he tells you, "I'm looking at something and they're lying to you and I'll tell you what the truth is," maybe you should listen to him. Maybe you should because he got that right.

How about Jesse Watters? Now Jesse is one of my favorite TV personalities because he knows when to be tongue-in-cheek and when to present a character just for fun. But he also has lots of good serious takes on stuff. There are some of the best. You sometimes don't notice that his takes are among the best in the business because he does the comedy thing that overshadows it. But he too could see the decline right from the start. Dana Perino, I'm sure same thing.

So just take a mental note. Who was calling this out years ago? And obviously I was as well. And who was telling you it was there's no problem? That's not fixable. You can't fix that. If somebody lied to you about something so obvious for four years you should never believe anything they say again. Never. That's not like being wrong. Being wrong is forgivable. We all do it. But that wasn't being wrong. That was lying to you about something you could see with your own eyes for four years. So just make a mental note of who got it right.

All right. So now you watch 98% of journalists tell you that Biden was fine even though obviously wasn't true. Will that have any impact on the people who say, "But 98% of scientists say climate change is real. It's a big problem." Do you think it'll have any impact? Do you think people will begin to doubt at all what everybody tells them? I think they're going to say, "Oh but you're talking about journalists." Yeah, of course journalists can be wrong but not scientists. Not scientists.

No. One of the things we've learned is that you can't trust anybody who gets a paycheck that depends on their opinion. That's the one thing we've learned. The journalists couldn't get paid if they said Biden was declining because they were part of an entity that wanted a Democrat spin on their news. So the reporters were not dumb and stupid. They knew exactly what they were doing and they lied to the country while we could see the truth right in front of us. And they never stopped until they had to, you know, when he fell apart on the debate.

Now like I say, scientists are not journalists. Very different people. But the journalists knew the truth. So in that way it would be more like scientists. They weren't wrong. They knew the truth and they decided that their paycheck depended and maybe their personal politics depended on them not telling you the truth. So they lied. Almost all of them on the left. Almost all of them. What do you think is different about scientists? If a scientist depends on agreeing with the narrative in order to get a grant, in order to get a job, in order to please their boss, what would you predict would happen? It's exactly the same as what happened with journalists. The science doesn't help them.

Are you going to say, "But Scott, they're scientists and they care about the truth"? That's exactly what your journalist would say. "We're journalists. Our job is to tell you the truth with no spin." Just like the scientists. Unless our paycheck and our lifestyle depends on it and then we're going to say what the narrative tells us.

Well it turns out that there are three papers recently. Wide Awake Media is reporting on this on X. And there are three new papers that are peer-reviewed that collectively they say that 40% of what we observe as a heat increase is really the heat island effect from thermometers being too near cities that are building out in the direction of where the thermometers were in the first place. 60% seems to match perfectly solar activity. Ouch. Ouch. Yikes.

Now you're going to say to yourself, "But it's just three studies. There's still tons of studies that would say climate change is real." And so I wonder if the people who believe the journalists whose job it is to tell you the truth without the spin will maybe come to doubt the scientists whose job it is to tell you the truth without the spin. Do you see the pattern yet? All that matters is who gives them the paycheck. That's the truth they will tell you. Doesn't matter what their job is. Doesn't matter if you're a journalist. Doesn't matter if you're a scientist. Doesn't matter if you're a politician. You're going to tell the truth that your paycheck tells you to tell. And we see it.

How about the pandemic? The pandemic was the clearest case you've ever seen. The experts just caved. They just caved. What's the narrative? How do I get a paycheck? Okay, that's the truth.

I think climate change is getting ready to crumble. And that would be the ultimate third act for Trump. The ultimate third act. Climate change is a hoax. Yeah, that's the ultimate. And it's coming. Apparently it's coming.

Now again I would like to remind you I'm not a climate expert and I don't know if the climate is getting warmer or not and if humans make a difference. I'm just telling you what the science is saying. And there's some modern recent papers that debunk the whole thing. Are they right? Why would I say that the new ones are right when I'm saying all the old ones are wrong? Because it agrees with me, right? Do your bias check on me. You know, do use the tools I tell you to use on me. Is it credible that there are three new papers who agree with me so I talk about them? No, you shouldn't take them as true because I'm talking about them or because they agree with me or because they agree with you. If you didn't believe the 10,000 papers that said climate change was real, are you just going to automatically believe the three that say they're not? It's a little too early to celebrate if that's the way it's going. But I do observe that we didn't see three papers debunking climate change that were peer-reviewed and there's no major pushback. In other words what you're not seeing, the dog not barking, is people saying, "Look at the terrible quality of these three papers. How could you believe this? Look at the mistakes they made. Look at the bad data." It might happen and if you see that pushback you should take it seriously.

All right, you got to see both sides. Don't do the documentary effect where you see a documentary and then you think you know everything. You got to see the documentary that says that one's wrong and then maybe you can triangulate on the truth. But don't get too cocky just because some papers agreed with you.

All right. Peter Hannan has a good take on what Kamala is going to have to answer. She's going to, if she becomes the top of the ticket, which I believe she is already essentially, so she's going to have to answer the question: When she knew the president wasn't up to the job, what she did about it, and why she repeatedly told us that he was fine. Yes, Peter Hannan, those are exactly the right questions. If she can't answer those questions, could you trust her with the nuclear codes? Those are really, really good questions.

I've often thought that the public should be more involved in coming up with good questions. Often you see the media doing their interviews and you say, "Oh, you didn't ask the right question there." There should be some kind of website or something where people compete for the best question. And then if you're a journalist you check it in the morning, say, "All right, what do people want to know? Oh shoot, they're all asking why didn't Kamala tell us earlier? That's a good question. I'll ask that question." So I think the media actually could use a boost. And you've seen me do it a bunch of times on my livestreams. I'll say here's a question that should be asked. Usually it doesn't get asked. But you can see that if you could help the media ask the right question I feel like that would drive us a little bit closer to the truth.

All right. As Jeff Clark, who's a great follow on X — he was one of the Trump-related attorneys who got in trouble and now he's just gone nuclear with his opinions in a real productive way because he has excellent opinions and insights on stuff. But he says here's how you know we have a controlled media. So he says there's NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, PBS. I could go on. All of these ostensibly competitors — emphasis on the word ostensibly. He says for in a truly competitive market one or more of them would have said Joe Biden has dementia if they were competing and they all knew what the truth was and their business is to tell you the truth. One of them would try to make money by telling you the truth because that's their business model, isn't it? It isn't telling you accurate, truthful things that turn out to check out later. That's what makes you money if you're in the news business. Well clearly they do not operate like a news business. They operate like a cartel. And that's no longer in doubt. It is pure cartel behavior. There's nothing like a competitor environment.

Now that's why Roger Ailes was so brilliant when he said all we need to do is show a show that's not part of the cartel and you're going to have like half of the country watching it because it's so obvious that the cartel is not giving you news. And sure enough that's why Fox News is the number one entity. It's not because most people agree with it. It's because they even get more Democrats watching Fox News than a lot of the left-leaning news because it's the only place you can see an alternative story. True or false? It's the alternative story.

All right. So Mark Levin sums it up on X. He said the same media that told us Biden didn't have dementia now tell us Harris isn't stupid. You couldn't sum it up better than that. By the way I tell you all the time that the difference between humor and an accurate summary is very small. Here's a perfect one. So Levin is giving you an accurate summary. There's nothing to lie about. There's nothing to question. The media did tell us Biden didn't have dementia and they are in fact telling us that Harris isn't stupid. And we can clearly see that neither of those are true. So he's simply summarizing the existing situation with nothing added and it makes you laugh. You see what I mean? An accurate summary is what a joke is. Humor is an accurate summary of reality. And Mark Levin obviously knows that.

So I would like to add one more thing to the obvious. Level people, it's not obvious that she's drunk in public. I'm not the only one noticing that. Are we going to just have a repeat in four years where the press is going to say, "You know we saw her drinking her lunch all the time. We saw her acting like she doesn't act when she's not drunk in public. Yeah she was drunk as hell." Am I supposed to not notice that she acts exactly like a drunk person but not all the time? Which is exactly the tell for a drunk person. If she acted like this all the time then I'd say, "Oh that's maybe just how she acts." Because she probably wouldn't be drunk all the time. But you see those laughing things and the weird things she says every now and then. Those are clearly drunk. Do you agree?

Now you could say it's some other form of inebriation but I'll just use drunk to handle the other forms as well. Probably alcohol. My guess is alcohol. It looks like alcohol. So how many of you would agree? Because to me it's screamingly obvious that she's drunk in public on a regular basis. Do you disagree? I'm looking at the comments because I don't know if you do. Do you agree that some of it is just who she is but a lot of it is just obviously drunk and they're just not telling us? You think the press doesn't know that she's drinking her lunch? Of course they know. Of course they know. They're doing it to you again.

And much as I love Mark Levin's summary I think he buried the lead. The lead is drunk. That's the lead. If you don't deal with that question and deal with it seriously you're going to have a drunk president. And that's a pretty big contrast to somebody who has never had a sip of alcohol running against you. It's a big contrast. Now I don't think that Trump can say she's drunk. You maybe could say she looks drunk but that would be a little too far beyond what is a proven thing. It's not proven. I just think it's obvious. Right? Anyway I guess we'll keep ignoring that.

Here's what I think. I think America is now experiencing a form of massive Gell-Mann Amnesia. I talk about this a lot because if you don't understand what this is the whole world is confusing. So Gell-Mann was the name of a famous physicist — you most have heard this before — who noticed that when he read a story about physics, his own expertise, he knew it was bullshit. But when he read the very next story about anything else he just assumed it was true. And then one day after seeing this pattern reoccur that the physics stories were always wrong but he thought everything else was right, being the smart physicist that he was he said, "Wait a minute. Isn't it slightly more likely that all of the news is wrong all the time and I only notice it when it's my own area of expertise?"

And that's exactly what's happening. The news is pretty much fake all the time when it's the big geopolitical stuff. It's not fake when it says there's a hurricane. Right, hurricane is real. It's not fake when it says somebody died. They died. But it's fake when they put the spin on it, the narrative, that sort of stuff.

So here's what's happening to the entire country. So we have this situation where Democrats now know completely with certainty — regular Democrat voters — they know with certainty that the entire media lied to them about a critical, critical thing. And they know it wasn't a mistake. That's important. They know it wasn't a mistake. They know they were lied to for years by their trusted media. Will the Gell-Mann approach kick in and make all the Democrats think, "Well that was just that one story"? Because that's what Gell-Mann amnesia would be. It's like, "Well okay I guess I got that one thing wrong but this other story is real." Will they? Or will it cure them? Will it cure them like Gell-Mann cured himself, which is noticing the pattern? "Wait. Whenever I can know for sure what the truth is, such as watching the debate, then you can know for sure what the truth was. It doesn't match what I was told." How often is that going to happen? How often am I going to notice that I can see with my own eyes that what they're telling me is not real? How many times do you notice that before you realize that's the normal? It's not the exception. That's everything all the time. If it's important there's somebody with money who's going to make you lie about it. Might be your boss, might be your advertisers. But if it's important somebody with a lot of money is going to force you to lie about it. That's the reality that we live in.

And tomorrow they're going to wake up and they're going to see their story about 97% of scientists saying climate change is real and they're going to say that's probably true. Look at all those people on the same side. Gell-Mann amnesia in the biggest possible sense.

Well let's see. Molly Hemingway is pointing us at Peter Baker who's the New York Times chief White House correspondent. And Peter Baker said this. He said one party has a candidate who is really old and showing it. The other has a candidate who is a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual abuser, a business fraudster, and self-described aspiring dictator for a day and also really old. One party wants to replace its candidate. The other does not.

Molly Hemingway had this comment about that comment. She said I wonder what the New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker's personal politics are. There's simply no way you can tell from his reporting or tweeting. Oh wait, it's all propaganda all the way down. Is it? Well let's look at his claims. Do you think he would make any claims that are obviously a lie? Like just obviously? Well let's see. He said one is a convicted felon. That's not true because until the judge certifies it it's not a convicted felon. And given recent changes it's unlikely or at least it's a coin flip whether it will ever happen. He's not a convicted felon. And you're the chief White House correspondent for the paper of record just said he was. And yet it's factually easily determined to be not true. You don't have to be a news person or a scientist. Just Google it. Is he technically a felon or does something else have to happen before he would be? You can find out for yourself. It's just not true.

How about he's an adjudicated sexual abuser? Why would you say he's an adjudicated sexual abuser? Why wouldn't you say sexual abuser? Why? Because the case was a civil trial, not a criminal. And the claimant is not credible in my opinion and lots of other people's opinions. So we don't actually know if he sexually abused anybody. And honestly it sounds pretty unlikely to me, the specific claim. So he has to say it's adjudicated, which means that a New York jury found him guilty. So in other words people who don't like Trump in the unfriendliest Trump place decided it was slightly more true that this woman was telling the truth and therefore he had to pay some money. So the New York Times instead of saying it's a he-said-she-said situation they say he's an adjudicated sexual abuser. Because if you don't know the story you'd say, "Oh I guess the evidence showed in a criminal case that he's a criminal abuser." Nope, nope. That's a claim with a very low level of credibility. Doesn't mean it's fake. But if you're a journalist and you act like it's credible that's not true.

And remember credible doesn't mean true or not true. It just means on the surface is this something you would trust? They say he's a business fraudster. Was that because of the belief that he exaggerated his assets exactly the way everybody does in that business and the bank didn't care and they knew it was an exaggeration because everybody exaggerates so they checked themselves as they always do so there was no fraud whatsoever and they'd be happy to work with him? Or was he talking about Trump University which was definitely a sketchy situation but where's the reporting on how much Trump knew? Do you think Trump was getting into the details of Trump University? Do you think he looked at the documents and talked to the people who took the course? I doubt it. The only thing we know for sure is that he owned something that went bad. He didn't manage it. He wasn't in charge. That was somebody he worked with. So yes he has to take the fall for getting into business with somebody who didn't do a good job. He has about 400 businesses. Some of them go bad. But you wouldn't see that context.

And the chief White House correspondent for the New York Times says that he's a self-described aspiring dictator for a day. You don't think that you have some responsibility to your readers to say that the self-described aspiring dictator for a day was not at all serious and no serious person could think it was serious? But here it is in the New York Times. I mean it's coming from a New York Times person. That's the sort of thing that people who read the New York Times think is true. Imagine, just imagine if the New York Times were your main source of news. Just imagine how confused you'd be about everything.

Anyway, so over in Great Britain I think the Labour Party had a big win in their election. That's still correct, right? I saw the early reporting last night. So the Labour Party got the big win. And I said to myself, "Oh so you mean that Great Britain actually voted to destroy itself?" Because I couldn't understand how the Labour Party that I thought was left-leaning would be an upgrade to the problems that are destroying their country. To me it looked like it would accelerate the destruction of the country. I don't know because I don't follow politics at all in Great Britain. So I don't really know what's going on. So I posted, "Did Great Britain just vote on July 4th ironically to destroy their country?" I think it had a couple of million views because people were weighing in and some people who live there were trying to explain to me how this works. I don't understand it. But apparently the Conservative Party was not doing the job so they voted in the party that has the opposite opinions of what they want because they think that will somehow destroy it and then everything will be destroyed and then they'd have some chance of building back something that works. Now that sounds batshit crazy to me or poorly explained so that maybe the problem's on my end.

But is something like that happening? Is there some kind of weird thing where Britain is trying to destroy their own system? The voters are, because it's all broken. Is that a real thing that's happening? They're literally trying to vote for the wrong team to destroy the system? I don't know. Don't believe anything I said about this because none of it makes sense to me. I guess Nigel Farage got a seat. Yeah. Now it does have something to do with who gets to team up with who. I'm lost. I mean I have no idea what they're doing over there. But if somebody can explain it to me in simple terms I'd love it.

Rasmussen says that 48% of Democrat voters or at least somewhat agree that Biden should step aside. So almost half of Democrats think he should step aside. And of course 62% of Republicans — 62% of Republicans. If you ever wondered do Republicans lie to pollsters you don't have to wonder anymore. You really think that 38% of Republicans think that Biden is capable of doing the job? No, no. They lied because they want to keep him in because he's easy to beat. They want the polls to say, "Oh yeah, oh yeah you should probably keep him in. He looks pretty good. I don't see a problem. What problem? Cognitive decline? I don't even know what you're talking about. I don't see a cognitive decline. Keep him in there. Keep him in there. He's going to — he's the only one who ever beat Trump so he's really your best bet. He's the only one who ever beat Trump." That makes perfect sense. It's logical. It's logical. You know just because he doesn't have a brain anymore doesn't mean he can't beat Trump again. Be logical.

All right. So I love the fact that Republicans are so devious. They just freaking lied to pollsters whenever it's a strategic benefit. They just lie. Which to me is funny.

All right, here's a test. How many people think Biden won the debate? How many people polled think Biden won the debate? You know, oh you know, you know 22%. Yeah 22%. Boy I'd hate to meet that 22%.

Anyway, so there's other polling. New York Times poll that says that Trump got a big bump from men. So likely male voters, at least the young men, especially the young men with no college, big increase moving toward, almost doubled, moving toward Trump.

Now who's the first person in the public domain who told you that Democrats are the party of women and that there would be a mass exodus of men away from it? I think it was me. I think I'm the first person to tell you. And I started saying it in maybe 2016. The Hillary Clinton effect. It looked to me permanent. And to me it looked like it would just drive men away until it was nothing but women and weak men, which is basically what's happening.

So here's my take. I agree with James Carville. The party of preachy women. That's what he says. Preachy women, James Carville says, is driving men toward Trump in record numbers. But I think that what's happening is that politics and logic have failed at every level. In a normal world you make decisions by politics and argument and logic in a perfect world. But that world doesn't exist. We've seen that politics has completely failed because the entire media was lying to us about the most basic thing: Does his brain work? If the media is lying to you about the most basic things and you depend on well-informed voters to make the system work, you can conclude that politics is completely broken. And I don't see a quick fix.

So if politics is completely broken — you know the part where you get information and make good decisions — and logic and reason have been thrown out the door because we're just being gaslit about what we see isn't real, what do you do? If you were going to see that on paper, like if somebody described that to you and you were just an alien trying to decide what would happen next, you'd probably say if you knew what humans are that we would revert to a biological truth.

So if you take away our higher level thinking — all right we're going to use some logic, we're going to do a little A-B testing — if you take that all away you get down to just biological urge. And that's where we are. And that's the basis for my prediction that once politics is completely debunked as it is now that people would act biologically. And men have a biological instinct to seek what I call the fortress personality. That's Trump. He's like a fortress as a personality. Meaning that he's the strongest male player in a situation that looks perilous. The strongest male player in a situation that looks perilous will be a magnet for strong men because strong men will sense the fight. You can feel it. There's a fight coming. Might be physical. Hope it isn't. But you can feel the fight. And when you feel the fight you put down your video games, you put down your toys, and you find the strongest leader because it's time to fight.

Men are leaving the Democrat Party because they need a champion and there's only one. There's only one strong male who says here are our problems. I'm going to go like hell at them. Like I'm going to attack the border problem. I'm going to solve your war with Ukraine. I'm going to save you economically. And biologically men can't resist that. We are pack animals and we like leaders. And by the way if there is no leader one of us will step up. We like it when there's a better leader than us most of the time. But if there is none we step up. We'll do it. Right? It's just biological.

So women are in their own world. They've got their own concerns. I can't say that I understand them completely. I can see why they're afraid of Trump if they've listened to their own news. I mean if they believe their own news you can see why women would be afraid of Trump, right? But the problem is they believe their own news. Now that the news is completely debunked in my opinion I think young men and non-college-educated men — and the numbers are backing it up — are just going to start flocking to what is real and what is strong and what could potentially save us from complete destruction.

I don't know that women have the same instinct. I don't know. I don't think so. I think women are built for empathy and doing the things that women are uniquely qualified to do. And I think men are built to fight. We're built to defend. We're built to kill stuff when it needs to be killed. So you're seeing a complete abandonment of that higher level thinking among young men and they're just moving toward power. Just moving toward power. You don't have to be afraid of it because it's a good force. It's a force against evil. It's a force against everything stupid. And it's happening.

And I'm going to go further into the provocative. And I don't think America can recover until men stop giving a shit about the opinions of batshit crazy women. You should definitely care about the opinions of women who are not crazy. There are a lot of Republican women for example. Perfectly normal people. You should listen to them. They're on your side. They're siding with the men. So of course you should listen to them. So it's not about women. It's about batshit crazy women.

Now of course because we live in a terrible, terrible world if I'm quoted on this it will be quoted as I'm talking bad about women. Right? Because the idiots, the idiots will say, "Ah he hates all women. Don't listen to that guy." But I think you know how this is played now, right? You can't tell the truth without getting cancelled. But too bad. You already cancelled me. I can tell the truth. The problem in the United States is batshit crazy women and men who won't tell them they're batshit crazy. Rachel Maddow, you're crazy. You're batshit crazy. I don't want to listen to you. Joy Reid, you're crazy. You're batshit crazy. I don't want to listen to you. Molly Hemingway, you're awesome. One of the smartest people I know. If you've got something that sounds like a good idea I'm listening to you. Listening to you big time. Absolutely. Dana Perino, you've got some good ideas. I'm going to listen to you. Totally listen to you. It's not about women. It's about batshit crazy women. And if you can't make that distinction and you can't say it out loud you're the whole country. You've got to call out the batshit crazy women.

Now I know what you're going to say. You're going to say, "But what about the men?" Because there are lots of Democrat men. Not really. Not really. All these smart Democrat men have already capitulated. They've already said we don't have a candidate, right? It's only the weak feminine men who are still siding with the batshit crazy people because they're too weak. They don't have the backbone to break free. And it will take the young men who don't give a shit to break free until the Republican Party is just so dominant that they can get what they want.

So batshit crazy women, you're giving all of your power away. You just don't know it because you've jumped the shark. Everybody can see it now. It's completely transparent. The entire media landscape and the Democrats were all lying to you about everything and it's all out there now.

But here's the thing we should all try to avoid. And I'm going to try to avoid this in my ongoing conversations with Michael Ian Black, who I'm finding amazingly brave and flexible in his thinking. If you don't agree with that I'll make you agree. Well I'll work on you. There's something amazingly productive happening about my conversation with him, both public and private. He's very firmly in the Democrat preference camp but not crazy, not stupid, not crazy, and not lying. None of those things. He actually has just been getting different news in the yor. And as he shares his news with me and I find out, holy shit I've been lied to. These revisions of the employment numbers, they go both ways. I didn't know that. I thought they almost always went in one way. He

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's call coffee with Scott Adams I'm pretty sure you've never had better time and today's going to be extra special because the news the news has got all kinds of stuff there's things happening all over the place we'll talk about them and they're all interesting weirdly a super interesting Day comments are working technolog is working allergy is not so bad we're in good shape Story number one you didn't even need to hear this cuz you already knew yes you are so far a hand of science that when you hear this you're going to say Scott I knew that so there's a new study that says You.

Tubers can fulfill emotional needs better than casual friends so there's a new study that says if you're watching somebody on You.

Tube and uh you do it on a regular basis that you can have your emotional needs fulfilled even though it's sort of a you know one-way conversation that's what I'm doing years ago I wrote that I would be your invisible friend but now I'm Not Invisible thanks to technology here I am so if you haven't caught how coffee with Scott Adams Works uh it's more than just the live stream the members on the locals locals community at scott.

locals.com are basically friends there just happen to be a lot of us so if you want to be part of it I will be your non-invisible friend and it's way better than not having friends some say it's better than having friends yeah some say but I think you should have friends too but if you don't and you don't have enough I will be your your visible friend apparently science agrees all right I saw this uh great post from Fisher King which is a Anonymous name about being a night owl he says being a night owl isn't isn't about staying up late for whatever reason to drink or party it's about feeling a release of tension an ease in the dark that lets you do the work and study that makes you happy something about broad daylight creates a pressure to be involved with things move with the hustle and bustle of people in the streets when you really uh you need Solitude and silence now first of all I agree with the statement that uh you know working with everybody else's asleep is the best time but oh my God is the writing in this good the release of tension and ease in the dark I just love the choice of words and um and I would say also that uh working early in the morning cures my ADHD in the afternoon my brain's all over the place I can't concentrate in the morning when it's dark and everybody else is asleep and it's too cold to be outdoors and I wouldn't want to be outdoors anyway my whole world shrinks to the size of my desk and I even keep it dark uh only only my desk area is lighted everything else is complete dark in silence uh otherwise I can't concentrate now I recommend this in in this case fisher king is uh prefers the night hours I prefer the early morning hours but more generally creative work is best done between midnight and 8:00 a I like the you know 4:30 to 8:00 a.m.

part other people like the midnight to 4:00 a.m.

part but it's the same part that's where that's where you can really focus on who you are and your creative process so um Ju Just think about that if you're having a problem concentrating on the things you need to move forward think about experimenting either late at night if you don't have to get up or early in the morning uh it turns out people are very different you can't all be mourning people I used to think you could but now I think you can't make yourself be a morning person but you might make you might be easy to be a you know 12 to two person uh axios is reporting there's a big movement to ban cell phones in schools to which every single person here who has any experience with children in schools and cell phones said wait a minute they weren't already banned what wait what they they weren't already banned in school well they were sort of banned in terms that you couldn't use it during the class but everybody just used it under their desk so so everybody was just sort of like this you know there's no way you could possibly concentrate on your class and do that at the same time however um I've got a provocative hypothesis we assume that the children will learn better and be better and be better off if they don't have their distraction of their phones because it's Common Sense am I right what could be more obvious than you don't want people distracted when they're trying to learn well let me throw in a little bit of a little bit of a thinker what are we preparing kids for are we preparing them for a world that doesn't exist or for a world that does exist and the world that does exist is full of distractions if you can't learn to do your classwork and use your phone in class you're never going to make it in the real world you didn't see that coming did you uh yeah when I took a uh an employment test for Pacific Bell when I was very young part of the test was a distraction test have you ever heard of this I think it was a common in the Bell syst system at some time they would literally give you a test and then they would distract you every you know whatever minute or something and the entire thing was to see if you could do ordinary tasks in the context of being distracted every few seconds and if you couldn't do it they didn't want to hire you because the real world is about lots of distractions so it could be that while it's definitely true your kids aren't learning as much that it's creating a filter that the people who can survive that kind of environment learn to do it better we might be surprised at which one of these we want now I don't think you can disturb the classroom situation with you know that's a different thing but we might find that you got to you got to teach kids to deal with distractions because that's what the real world is maybe I'm just putting it out there as a hypothesis I I am not in favor of kids having cell phones in schools I'm not in favor for that just hear that clearly but I'll just put out there as a hypothesis we're not entirely sure what's true we live we live in a world where you don't know I know I see I see what you're saying did we forget something something very important called the simultaneous Sip and you feel the lack don't you yeah you can feel it you're in complete well if you'd like to be complete all you need is a cuper marar glass a tanker chalse or St on a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the the day the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous Sip and it's going to happen now go now this brings me perfectly to a topic that was upcoming did you feel the need for the simultaneous zp because you developed a habit and it had a reward you felt it right you so you can feel that I have rewired your brains in a very specific way intentionally you know with your permission because you obviously knew what was happening and you now have a new habit or a new piece of circuitry this is something the hypnotist can do right not just hypnotists of course but hypnotist know how to add a little brain circuitry where there wasn't one before we can connect two things that weren't connected and they'll stay connected because the circuitry is physically there once it's created now take that thought and apply it to the next topic coincidentally I have a theory that uh time blindness so-called time blindness do you know people who have time blindness they used to call it ADHD or it's an element of it or maybe it's something else but it's the idea that some people can't be on time because they're just they're they're blind to time now how many times have we seen that um I've cured a condition that was incurable if you're new to the stream you just said what all right here this is for the new people this is just to give a shock to the system if you're new to the stream I've cured more people than Jesus that's literally true now Jesus is better than me you know let me be clear Jesus is way better than me I'm not comparing myself to Jesus I'm just giving you use a data point see Jesus didn't have a social media so when he was doing his cures he was done doing one off it's like what' you do today Jesus well I cured three lepers and a blind guy well that's pretty impressive that's really impressive I can't do that but if I come up with a cure for something I can tell a million people right so I've cured probably thousands of people of pesis that's shy bladder just with the hypnosis essentially um I've cured the common sneeze I wrote about that in my book reframe your brain not every kind of sneeze but I taught you a mental trick to make a sneeze go away by imagining you're sneezing instead of actually sneezing now you didn't see that coming did you I've also cured a number of people of a incurable speaking problem one I had and I've suggested people maybe looking for the surgery and a number of people got the surgery and got cured so I've you know cured them just by information in that case they didn't know there was a cure I set them up they got a cure likewise with the reframe um alcohol is poison probably hundreds maybe maybe more have told me they stopped drinking forever just put the words alcohol is poison because that allowed them to see it in a different frame and then it was easier to quit I get hundreds of people maybe thousands who told me that they dropped you know 50 and 60 PBS how much healthier are you if you drop 60 PBS probably a lot so I do have a track record of literally curing people of and that's just a partial list of debilitating uncurable or hard to cure problems you have to know that because the next thing I'm going to say is so wildly improbable that if you didn't have the context you would say I'm not even going to listen to what you say because you're so wildly crazy but if you knew that I have in fact cured a number of major problems in in public I do it in public and then people can see it you can see the comments you can see it yourself uh I'm going to cure time blindness now now you're going to say to yourself Scott Scott why why don't you just listen to The Experts are you kidding me have you heard from the experts lately apparently the experts are wrong about just about everything all the time that's not true of course but it feels like it lately so I don't even blink when somebody says I'm going to tell you something that's opposite of science now and I think I'm right there was a time I would have said come on don't waste my time don't waste my time saying that you know something that science got wrong but these days I'm willing to listen I'll tell you I'm a lot less cocky than I used to be about my science I I used to be one of those it's like M yeah I hear what you're saying but do you know that all of science disagrees with you how about that I win science is on my side yeah yeah me it's me and science we're like Bros together we can conquer everything and then I found out that my bro science was a big liar science is I can't trust it at all all right so with that setup I give you the following I don't think that people have time blindness I think that a hypnotist with a little bit of work and it would take some AB testing I don't think I can get it on the first try I think think you could find a piece of circuitry that you can connect for the first time with people who say they have time blindness and you can cure it in other words you can build a habit that would just be automatic uh as much as the simultaneous zip and I don't know exactly how to do it but I'll give you some some things I would try I have an observation and I don't know if any of you can back this up so this is not real data this is just an anecdotal I believe that people who have time blindness often were in a situation where they could spend lots of time alone in other words they had their own bedroom when they were young and maybe their own bathroom so that they could be time blind without any external thing affecting them and so it would never get fixed so their lateness is when you're not watching and other words if somebody who has time blindness stood right next to me and I said here's what we're going to do we're going to chop up these vegetables all right and I'll take a piece of broccoli I'll say okay you take a piece of broccoli right do it the same time I do right now let's see if we can finish at the same time we're just chop chopping broccoli I'm chopping you're chopping do you think that they couldn't do it do you think that the person standing right next to you would be time blinded and then they wouldn't be able to chop broccoli and be done about the same time you were no they would because you would be their external clock you would be the clock they wouldn't think of it that way but they would just automatically match your pace now suppose you put that person in a repeated bunch of situations where you create artificial situations where they just have to do things at the same way in the same time and the same you know exact sequence as a person who doesn't have time blindness then secondly you do a little test you say hey we're going to do a little test uh try to tell me when you think 7 minutes is up and then you just see how close they get now sometimes they'll forget to even answer it'll be like an hour later and you'll say okay do you remember that you were going to tell me when seven minutes was up and it might be wildly impossible at first but I'll bet you that if you if you get people to feel physically what it's like to be next to somebody who knows what time is and feels it that you would learn to feel it much like uh I'm the worst drummer in the world you know I try to try to do play the drums but if I watch a good drummer on a You.

Tube my drumming instantly gets better just from the exposure it doesn't last but I can I can pick up like a little extra Funk or something just immediately so I believe that people might learn their sense of time from exposure to other people here's another example this is my favorite one I I I use this example A Lot the way you train a uh hering dog like a sheep dog to herd the Sheep is you just introduce a new dog that's it that's the training the new dog just watches the trained dog and in a really short time a few days the new dog becomes a sheep dog just from exposure to oh you do that I'll do that looks like you're having fun I'll have fun secondly I also observe that people with time blindness do not get a dopamine hit from being on time but I do I get a dopamine hit from doing boring things efficiently people who have time blindness will tell you if I'm doing a boring thing like I my brain just checks out I can't concentrate on a boring thing but I say how do you ever have a boring thing how do you ever have a boring thing I never have a boring thing I have challenges so if something's boring I say how's the fastest way I can make this uh finish in the way nobody's ever done it so fast and then it's a challenge and then it's interesting and if I can do that thing that takes an hour and 45 minutes the next day I say I'll bet I could do it in 44 minutes so I never I'm never bored I'm always creating a challenge now these are habits could you install these habits or something like them you know I I don't think I've NE necessarily hit the answer yet I just believe that the missing piece of circuitry is something that's completely fixable because brains are programmable and that little free floating thing that doesn't connect your sense of time to what you're doing at the moment I could connect those I could connect those and I'll bet I'll bet any hypnotist could you know any really good hypnotist I don't think you can do it with a therapist necessarily I don't think you can do it with a pill necessarily I do think a hypnotist could do it with some people over time it might take a little experimenting so I just put that out there that I think we have a complete wrong understanding of time blindness and what to do about it the tape Brothers won their appeal so they the appeal allows them to travel I guess they still have legal Peril but uh at the moment as long as they're free they can now travel in Europe now I ask you why couldn't they travel in Europe before what changed between the time they had to be in jail to the time they were allowed to be out but in Romania to the time now that they could travel obviously being flight risks is this sort of the cats on the roof is this the first step toward an admission that the charges were complete because you know I'm no fan of uh Andrew Tate just for personal reasons not because of what he says uh I I actually like what he says I like his act uh I don't like him personally as a as a human being that that's just as personal interactions with him but everything about the legal Peril that they're in just screamed not real it just screamed like somebody was out to get them and they were law faring him in Romania the worst possible thing that could happen to you so keep an eye on that yes if I had to predict I'm going to predict that they don't go to jail and that we someday learned the charges were complete and that they came from another country in other words Al Bet Romania was doing a favor to some other country for some other reason somebody didn't like them that's what I think because there are just too many people who have a certain kind of view who have bad luck have you notice that oh uh Alex Jones well you know that's a special case cuz was the thing he said and you know kind of bad luck and then Andrew Tate as well you know yeah you have to understand you probably did some bad things in addition to the things he was saying so you know the bad things catch up with you maybe and uh you know this cartoonist got cancelled for what he said but you know you have to understand is what he said it's you know special case there certainly are a lot of special cases aren't there have you noticed how many special cases there are that all seem to go in One Direction because I don't see a lot of special cases on the left just a lot of special cases on the right so watch out for the special cases they may not be as special as you think talker Carlson got fired from Fox News but that was a special case because he said something about the elections right maybe there are no special cases speaking of Tucker uh he's said that he's got a interview lined up and he's going to talk to zalinski zelinsky's people said nope uh nothing like that happened there is nobody in Zen's office who believes that that's true he has a full schedule and his schedule is not involving Tucker and it's completely made up and maybe he shouldn't believe things that Russians tell him do you think he got pranked do you think that some Russian pretend to be a zinsky person and yeah how would you really know I mean if somebody called me and said oh is he Scott Adams I'd be yes oh this is zelinsky's office this is my Ukrainian accent you recognize it Ukrainian accent uh this is you Ukrainian uh office of zalinsky uh we very much like to to interview with you how would I know it's not zalinski you know I suppose you could ask the government but if your Tucker you know the government's not even going to return your call it would be pretty easy to get pranked and I'd like to give you the extra extra extra caution you have to stop believing every audio source for everything even if it's live you have to learn to not trust any audio Source even live even if you're having a conversation live you don't know if you're even talking to a person anymore you really don't remember AI has passed the touring test that means that literally scientifically a human can't tell they're talking to an AI all the time sometimes you can so don't trust anything could be a prank could be an AI could be an OP there's just nothing you can trust anyway meanwhile up in Canada the woke Canadians are they're having experiment with their first 15minute city so the city of Edmonton is going to divide itself into 15 little parts and then all of them will be places that if you live in one of those little Parts you'll be able to get whatever you want within 15 minutes um and it'll be mostly mass transit so everything would be more convenient and closer don't need as much climate change don't need to spend as much money we'll talk about climate change later um and of course uh my audience is concerned that this would be CLA Schwab's dream of globalizing everything and taking away your freedoms so you don't want your City to be convenient because it'll take away your freedoms now I of course have given you a little push back on the idea that living in a city that's welld designed for your convenience is really a plot to control you maybe it's just good for everybody but I do acknowledge that uh this change would give the give people an easier way to control you would you agree that the 15minute city would give the people in charge yet another way to control you and of course they would because every time you give them control they use it would you can we all agree that it does create a situation where maybe you don't have a car it just feels like they would be able to control you better if you you're in your little 15minute city it's not that you can't leave but you won't have a car so you'll have to work at it a little bit harder if you want to leave well here's my context um when the automobile was first introduced into America did it give you Freedom or take it away well it gave you Freedom right cuz you got to drive around well did it did it cuz it came with all kinds of rules what you could do what you couldn't do and then you got to the point where you had to have a car like you didn't even have an option so cars started out as well Isn't that cool to they're mandatory really how could you live a modern life without one you know at some point so then he had phones when Tel phones were introduced the government got a way to spy on all of you because they could tap your phones with any good reason so was the telephone a good idea or a bad idea because it guaranteed you lost your privacy you know the government could listen to anything they wanted but the telephone was useful you know sort of like a 15minute city it's just that you gave up your privacy but then you had a computer wow computers were great right you could do so many things but it gave the government a way not to just spy on one phone call but they could learn everything you've ever done everything you care about everybody you've talked to everything you've said you gave up all of your freedom because computers are really cool and they're useful and they're great so were computers a bad idea well they gave up all of your freedom depends do you like freedom because you lost it but the computers are cool too games and you you can do things they have apps um how about uh security cameras you know it's great that you could have a security camera to feel safe you know it keeps the bad guys away easier to catch them but then that meant you were on security cameras everywhere you went so you gave up all of your physical freedom in the sense of people not knowing where you are at any given time because they also added facial recognition so security cameras are great when you agree keeps you safe also took away all your freedom so now you you don't have the ability to travel without being spotted how about facial recognition great stuff the convenience of it you could tell if somebody is a real person we don't do this yet but we will uh if you go to the store you don't have your ID wouldn't it be great if they just use facial recognition I mean I use it on my phone all the time I I hated putting in my password in my phone now I just you know phone just looks at my face my God that's great that is a great great thing that took away all my privacy I've got one of those digital devices from Amazon whose name I dare not say it's amazing I can't tell you how much my life is because I can just talk to that thing all day long I'm talking to it I've got one in all my major rooms I talk to it all day long I'm asking it questions and checking things it's great it also listens to everything I do or could and if the government wanted to listen to me in every room they could but it's really cool I really enjoy it so I would argue that the most common thing for us and we'll see it with AI as well AI is really useful it's great do you think AI will take away some of your freedoms of course it will do you think AI will take away your jobs of course it will do you do you think that your ability to even experience the feeling of free will will be diminished greatly by AI yes yes it will how about the robots that are going to be in your house you can actually have a robot connected to the internet with eyes and a brain watching everything you do but it's going to be so cool I'm going to get one I'm going to get one yeah and it's going to be watching me just like a spy and the government could probably take over that robot's brain anytime it wanted watch everything that I do and even tell the robot to look around I think that I think at what some point the government if it has a warrant will be able to listen to this the government will be able to order your robot to search your house while you're at work yeah your robot will be ordered to watch your passwords as you type them into your computer oh yeah that's coming but are you not going to get a robot you will get a robot we're all going to have a robot we're all going to have robots and you're going to give away whatever's left the last shred of your independence from the government so when you tell me Scott you idiot don't you understand that the 15minute cities are part of the global conspiracy to take away your freedoms I say of course I understand that I understood it about the phone the car the computer I understand it about my digital devices I understand it about security cameras I understand it about AI I understand it about robots it's going to happen anyway and I for one am in favor of Designing cities to be more efficient and if you're concerned about taking your freedom I would say you're completely right and it probably doesn't matter because you've given away your freedom so many times there's no Freedom left and what the hell are they going to do to you they that they can't already do I mean really you're you're afraid of the digital money because then they'll know exactly what you're doing with your money if you're using a credit card they already know what you're doing with your money it's only cash that matters and cash is mostly used for sketchy reasons right now is to avoid taxes basically or buy drugs I guess anyway here's a new report I'm going to test your bias the RNC reports RNC research account on X reports that the official jobs number uh from the last two months has been revised downward wow by 111,000 so surprise right the jobs report looked really good and then just like you knew it got revised down quite a bit quite a bit that's a big number now here's a test of your uh your knowledge of the news true or false here's a true or false test true or false in the election here when Biden is in charge and therefore the government is sort of pro Biden one assumes that they are going to lie about the jobs numbers consistently while he's in office and then there'll be like a little correction later that they hope you don't notice true or false the news consistently says the jobs are good and then quietly correct it later where you don't notice true or false I'll read your answers true true true true true true you've all seen it you've seen it with your own eyes so therefore it's true yep it's not true do you know how I not know it's not true because in my ongoing conversation with Michael Le and black who represents let's say almost the polar opposite of my political views I mentioned that to him I said you know conservatives see this but you probably don't that those job numbers that look good they always you know maybe not 100% of time but pretty much you could depend usually they're going to get revised down and then you won't notice the revision and he said well that's not true and I said come on it's the most obviously true thing in the news how do you not know that it's like almost every month it seems it seems they say the numbers were good and then a month later they're not so good and he said but I remember them being revised in both directions not just one way sometimes they go up sometimes they don't and I said to myself well that can't be true because I only see them revised down and so I checked turns out that they're revised up sometimes and down sometimes and that a republican entity will tell me when they've been revised down and they won't tell me when they've been revised up so Michael Ian Black for the win he his version of the news was accurate my version of the news was 100% win which I told him by the way 100% his news was accurate mine was and it wasn't wrong in terms of you know the accuracy it was just what I what I saw so I don't see anybody posting well those numbers are way better than we thought but today I saw the RNC research number telling me and and here's what Zero Hedge said uh something like you know here it comes here it goes again or something like that so Zero Hedge presented it as the here's here it is again here's what they always do but they don't they don't always do that what is true is that when they do it you see it because Republic an are more likely to send that around social media so if that if that uh tricked you the way it tricked me do your own research just you know check you'll see all right here's another fake news there was some news that there was some document suggesting that Mike Flynn would be the VP Choice uh he says that it's not true and that uh the filing he debunked it so basically Flynn says there's no filing that's not a real thing now that doesn't mean that he's not going to be the choice for vice president I don't think he will be but um it's just that this document is fake so if you believe that document was real uh check yourself because it was fake now I didn't really have I I guess I suspected it was fake because I heard the story and yet I didn't think it was important enough to talk about I think I mentioned it was new but it never seemed important to me and it would have been important if I thought it was true so I guess i' never believed it enough to make it a big deal so I I guess I I can take a a partial victory in that I wasn't convinced of this one but I could have made a bigger I could have said more directly that I was skeptical so I think I'll I'll correct s on that all right so uh I saw talker saying this the other day uh on a video that you have you really have to restate in your mind everything that you think you believed about history because we're living through history that will someday be in history books and we can see with our own eyes and our own ears that what will be written in the history books will not be real and yet we can be sure that children will be taught it as if it's real um the fact that the media tried to tell us that Biden's problem was a cold and a stutter well let's say they were not lying as obviously as they are if you had to revise your understanding of History you might say to yourself you know all right I got to take this under consideration there was a time I was told from the historians that uh Stalin was a bad dude and he he killed a bunch of people that you know is considered one of the greatest evils in history of the world but now I'm wondering if he didn't just have a cold in a stutter no well they're telling us that a cold and a stutter can make you act in a way that no person normally acts people don't normally want to kill 20 million of their own people that's not normal so how do we know he didn't just maybe it's just a passing thing just a cold and a stutter all right I'm kidding but how ridiculous is it that they're still trying to tell us it might be a cold in a stutter and oh by the way uh he was also jetlagged and by the way it's just normal aging here's a little trick I learned from this the my uh who I call my uh smartest Democrat friend I mention him all the time but one of the things he taught me years ago was if somebody has one reason one explanation for something it might be true and it might be false you don't know just one explanation but if somebody offers you three competing explanations it's always uh why were you late oh traffic was bad and I had a flat tire okay if it was only traffic was bad maybe but if traffic was bad and you had a flat tire suddenly it doesn't sound as true he had a problem because he had a cold and a stutter and international travel 12 days ago and it's just normal as soon as you get that second or third excuse all doubt should be removed about whether it's true nope you get to that third one and that's that's pretty confirming that it's not real all right now the latest is that Biden is telling Democratic Governors that he's going to go go to sleep by 800m because he needs more sleep no nothing wrong with that totally normal you know you want him to be sharp at 3:00 a.m.

when he gets that call about the nuclear attack and we'll say he's in good shape went to bed at 8 yeah that would sound like yet another maybe a fourth excuse not just jet lag but in general not enough sleep but he also has a cold in a stutter and uh Trump's old too Trump's old too in case I didn't mention that Trump's old too so that would be like five things things all right um I would recommend that whenever you hear somebody in the mov in the news tell you that the problem is he had a cold that you translated into your head into montypython talk because here's what's not funny Jean Karin Johan prier saying but people uh it's very clear um I've been very clear very very clear he had a cold he had a cold have been very clear Have I Told you i' been clear I don't know if I mentioned I've been clear very clear it was just a cold people now that's not funny here's funny it's just a cold well but it looked like he couldn't even talk it's just a gold he's he's fine he's just got a gold now you're probably realizing right now he can't do a Monty Python accent to save his ass it sounded exactly like his Ukrainian ACC and that wasn't good to begin with okay that's true so you have to do your own Monty Python in your head you don't do Mine mine's mine's not good well Miranda deine Divine tells us um is it deine or Divine probably Divine Miranda divine right is it deine or Divine it it's so hard the names that don't tell you how to pronounce them by looking at them anyway Miranda who's great um she was saying on a report recently on TV that every reporter on the campaign show in 2020 could see with her own eyes that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline he was very low energy he had to have teleprompters uh for the smallest things and his basic stump speeches blah blah blah do you believe that do you believe that everybody could see it and the entire left leaning news covered it up that's funny let's play uh lying stupid or crazy or weak I added weak because we're going to look at some people on the left and what they say about Biden and you get to decide are they lying are they stupid are they crazy or are they just weak Brian stelter um now that he knows that Biden has these problems and he was one of the ones saying there was no problem at all right up until the debate he uh wrote he said the record of how Biden's Health was covered is complicated just as aging is a complicated process is he lying stupid crazy or weak lying crazy stupid or weak is acting like maybe it wasn't Soo obvious yeah maybe you couldn't really see it you know because of the complicated stuff it's complicated how could anybody see it when it's so complicated I'm going to say lying and weak lying either because he's weak or he's leak and weak and lying in it's coincidence I don't think he's crazy and I don't think he's stupid I mean not that stupid all right let's do another one uh George soplos so he he's going to do the um conversation with Biden I guess we'll see it today and uh he is presumably gonna give a Lifeline to Biden if he can um as uh I think Ari fer was pointing out he says uh it's amazing to think Joe Biden's fate is in the hands of Bill Clinton's former communications director George uh stas in 1992 George helped save Clinton from a bimbo eruption what will he do now for Biden save him or end him it's possible that uh Stephanopoulos is being sent to end him because if the people were really in power in the Democrat side need to end him they would send their best and he would do it now is George stop plus lying stupid crazy or weak lying stupid crazy or weak because I think he was one of the people saying Biden's fine what do you think I'm going to say lying definitely not stupid definitely not crazy definitely not weak just lying yeah that was easy how about Morning Joe so apparently uh Joe came back to work after his scheduled vacation that apparently did not involve his wife okay that's normal um and uh he took that scheduled vacation somebody pointed out uh soon after he uh disagreed with his wife on air and told her to calm down I guess that's what get you a that'll get you a vacation without your wife if you'd like a vacation without your wife just tell her to calm down that'll get you a vacation without a wife maybe forever so anyway Morning Joe comes back and you probably saw his rant about F you if you don't know that Biden is the best Biden there's ever been and a few days later the best Biden uh decomposed in front of us that was the best Biden now Morning Joe lie lying stupid crazy or weak lying stupid crazy or weak for Morning Joe Morning Joe what do you say uh I'm going to vote um obviously lying but it looks like there's some mental health problems there yeah so I would go with lying and crazy uh he doesn't seem weak I mean if you're weak you don't tell your wife to calm down on national TV you might pay for it but it wasn't weak you know his his uh I mean his whole thing he's not weak all right and he's not stupid he's not stupid not even a little bit so I'm going to go with lying and crazy all right here's another one uh Joy Reed did a uh video in which he said um that it looks like Hitler is going to be elected and it wasn't a joke she was saying that um in a real way Trump is Hitler is she lying stupid crazy or weak um I'm going to say crazy because she represented herself crazy in other words she looked crazy she had crazy eyes crazy crazy thoughts um there might be some lying mixed in but she's not stupid and she's not weak she's definitely not weak and there's no evidence she's stupid there's plenty of evidence that she has a mental health problem and that she's lying what about Rachel madow lying stupid crazy or weak she's not she's not stupid she's smarter than all of us put together all right she's super smart she's not weak cuz you know she's pushed through a lot of things to be on TV but she does admit to some mental health issues depression but you can see more of that in her face like I don't know what the problem is and I do actually have some empathy for it she looks like she's tortured uh I would say mental health I don't want to say crazy cuz that's you know crazy what you say to somebody who's not under therapy I'm pretty sure she's getting professional help so I'm going to I'm going to be more kind and not say crazy I will say there's a mental health issue that's genuine and is serious and I think we're all being sort of influenced by a mental health issue more than the news all right that's my take now you can't know but keep in mind we're not mind readers so we can't know that our our conclusions are right here we're just saying what it looks like all right and I would say I think that the MSNBC has a duty to disclose their mental health situation I mean that literally and I'm not saying this about CNN uh CNN has a bunch of people who say things I don't like sometimes they're they're a lot better they're moving toward the middle but I don't see them looking czy do you I don't see them having mental health problems I see Jake Tapper doing Jake Tapper I see Wolf Blitzer doing Wolf Blitzer you know um John King doing John King none of them look crazy not even a little bit but as soon as I turn on MSNBC it's not that they're more striding about Trump it's not really that they actually honestly without any spin or anything to me they represent as really obviously mentally ill now here's where I'm going to get a little mad at the media you can see it too everybody can see it you can see it years ago with Biden and here it is are you going to tell me you don't see it are you going to tell me you watch Rachel madow and Joy Reed and Joe Scarboro and you don't see really really obvious mental illness you don't see it can you actually say that to me it's screamingly obvious and here's how I check myself the CNN I I don't see it in other places it's very unique to their situation and I think they need to disclose whether they're under the care of a professional I would like to know if the person who's telling me what my reality is is capable of understanding reality isn't that fair I think they should tell us if they're under the care of a professional you know do you go to therapy and why wouldn't you like to know that because if they're telling you what is real don't you want to know if they've got a grasp on what's real and I think they don't to me it looks like they have legitimate mental health problems which by the way if if they were to cop to them I would immediately change my tone and I would just go to empathy and I would say God I hope you I hope you take care of that cuz that sounds terrible I mean a mental health problem is just it's like being in hell so I have full empathy for whatever is going on um it's just we need a little transparency here I think it would be good for the country all right um Olivia NY nuzi I don't know how to say her name either um she talks about the conspiracy of Silence to protect the president she said in January I began hearing similar stories from democratic officials activists and donors who came away from interactions with Biden disturbed by what they had seen and she said she's been writing about it for the while and it made me wonder I don't remember her talking about it but you know maybe I don't see all the news so that's not a surprise and I wonder should you revise your entire understanding of who to listen to in the future I would say yes I would say anybody who looked at Biden so obviously declining and told you with a straight face he's fine you should never listen to them again I would go further and say that anybody who is an anti-biden person who didn't also say and he's obviously declining mentally if they did tell you that directly you should maybe not take them too seriously in the future but I'd like to call out a couple of people who for years have been saying Biden's brain is fried right now you know you know some of them and this is not a complete list but Greg gfel how long has Greg Greg Gutfeld been telling you loudly in public on his shows Biden's brain is not there it's obvious so the next time he tells you I'm looking at something something and they're lying to you and I'll tell you what the truth is maybe you should listen to him maybe you should because he got that right right how about Jesse Waters now Jesse is one of my favorite TV personalities because he knows when to be tongue and cheek and when to present a character just for fun and but he also has lots of good serious um takes on stuff there are some of the best you sometimes don't notice that his takes are among the best in the business because he does the com thing that you know overshadows it but he too could see the decline right from the start Dana Pino I'm sure same thing right um so just just take a mental note who who was calling this out years ago and obviously I was as well and who was telling you it was there's no problem that's not fixable you can't fix that if somebody lied to you about something so obvious four years you should never believe anything they say again never that's not like being wrong being wrong is forgivable we all do it but that wasn't being wrong that was lying to you about something you could see with your own eyes four years so just make a mental note of who got it right all right so now you watch 98% of journalists tell you that Biden was fine even though obviously wasn't true will that have any impact on the people who say but 98% of scientists say climate change is real it's a big problem do you think it'll have any impact do you think people will begin to doubt at all what everybody tells them I think they're going to say oh but you're talking about journalists yeah of course journalists can be wrong but not scientists not scientists no one of the things we've learned is that you can't trust anybody who gets a paycheck that depends on their opinion that's the one thing we've learned the journalists couldn't get paid if they said Biden was declining because they were part of a entity that wanted you know a Democrat spin on their news so the the reporters were not dumb and stupid they knew exactly what they were doing and they lied to the country while we could see the truth right in front of us and they never stopped until they had to you know when he fell apart on the debate now like I say scientists are not journalists very different people but the journalist knew the truth so in that way it would be more like scientists they weren't they weren't wrong they knew the truth and they decided that their paycheck depended and maybe their personal politics depended on them not telling you the truth so they lied almost all of them on the left almost all of them what do you think is different about scientists if a scientist depends on agreeing with the narrative in order to get a grant in order to get a job in order to please their boss what would you predict would happen it's exactly the same as what happened with journalists the science doesn't help them are you going to say but but Scott they're scientists and they care about the truth that's exactly what your journalist would say we're journalists our job is to tell you the truth with no spin just like the scientists unless our paycheck and our lifestyle depends on it and then we're going to say what the narrative tells us well it turns out that there are three papers recently Wide Awake media is reporting on this on next um and uh there are three new papers that are peer-reviewed that uh collectively they say that 40% of what we observe as a heat increase is really the heat island effect from thermometers being too near uh cities that are building out in the direction of where the thermometers were in the first place 60% seems to match perfectly solar activity ouch ouch yikes now you're going to say to yourself but but it's just three studies there's still tons of studies that would say climate change is real um and so I um I wonder if the people who believe the journalists whose job it is to tell you the truth without the spin will maybe come to doubt the scientists whose job it is to tell you the truth without the spin do you see the pattern yet all that matters is who gives them the paycheck that's the truth they will tell you doesn't matter what their job is doesn't matter if you're a journalist doesn't matter if you're a scientist doesn't matter if you're a politician you're going to tell the truth that your paycheck tells you to tell and we see it how about the pandemic the pandemic was the clearest case you've ever seen the experts just caved they just caved what's the narrative how do I get a paycheck okay that's the truth I think climate change is getting ready to crumble and that would be the ultimate third act for for Trump the ultimate third act climate change is a hoax yeah that's the ultimate and it's coming apparently it's coming now again I would like to remind you I'm not a climate experts and I don't know if the climate is getting warmer or not and if humans make a difference I'm just telling you what the science is saying and the there's some Modern recent papers that debunk the whole thing are they right why would I say that the new ones are right when I'm saying all the old ones are wrong because it agrees with me right do your bias check on me you know do use the tools I tell you to use on me is it is it credible that there are three new papers who agree with me so I talk about them no you shouldn't take them as true because I'm talking about them or because they agree with me or because they agree with you if you didn't believe the 10,000 papers that said climate change was real are you just going to automatically believe this believe the three that say they're not there's not it's a little too early to celebrate if if that's what the way it's going but I do observe that we didn't see three papers debunking climate change that were peer-reviewed and there's no mo there's no major push back in other words what you're not seeing the dog not barking is people saying look at the terrible quality of these three papers how could you believe this look at the mistakes they made look at the bad data it might happen and if you see that push back you should take it seriously all right you got to see both sides don't do the documentary effect where you see a documentary and then you think you know everything you got to see the documentary that says that one's wrong and then maybe you can triangulate on the truth but don't get too cocky just because some papers agreed with you all right um Peter Hassan uh has a good take on what kamla is going to have to answer she's going to if she becomes the top of the ticket which I believe she is already essentially so uh she's going to have to answer the question when she knew the president wasn't up to the job what she did about it and why she repeatedly told us that he was fine yes Peter Hanan those are exactly the right questions if she can't answer those questions could you trust her with the nuclear codes those are really really good questions I've often thought that the public should be more involved in coming up with good questions uh often you see the media doing their interviews and you say oh you didn't ask the right question there there should be some kind of like website or something where people you know compete for the best question and then if you're a journalist you know you check it in the morning say all right what do people want to know oh shoot they're all asking why didn't kamla tell us earlier that's a good question I'll ask that question so I think the media actually could use a boost and you've seen me do it a bunch of times you know on on my live streams I'll say here's a question that should be asked usually it doesn't get asked but but you can see that if you could help the media ask the right question I feel like that would drive us a little bit closer to the truth all right as uh Jeff Clark who's a great follow on uh on X he was one of the Trump related attorneys who got in trouble and now he's just gone nuclear with his opinions in a real productive way because he has excellent opinions and insights on stuff but he says here's how you know we have a controlled media so he says there's NBC CBS ABC CNN Washington Post New York Times PBS I could go on all of these ostensibly uh ostensible competitors emphasis on the word ostensible he says for in a truly competitive market one or more of them would have said Joe Biden has dementia if they were competing and they all knew what the truth was and their businesses to tell you the truth one of them would try to make money by telling you the truth because that's their business model isn't it it isn't telling you accurate truthful things that turn out to check out later that's what makes you money if you're in the news business well clearly they do not operate like a news business they operate operate like a cartel and that's no longer in doubt it is pure cartel Behavior there's nothing like a competitor environment now that's why Roger alses was so brilliant when he said all we need to do is show a show that's not part of the cartel and you're going to have like half of the country watching it because it's so obvious that the cartel is you know not giving you news um and sure enough that's why Fox News is the number one entity it's it's not because most people agree with it it's because they even get more Democrats watching Fox News than a lot of the you know left leaning news because it's the only place you can see an alternative story you know true or false it's the alternative story all right um so Mark Levin sums it up on X he said the same media that told us Biden didn't have dementia now tell us Harris isn't stupid that's you couldn't sum it up better than that by the way I tell you all the time that the difference between humor and an accurate summary is very small here's a perfect so lein is giving you an accurate summary there's nothing to lie about there's there's nothing to question the media did tell us Biden didn't have dementia and they are in fact telling us that Harris isn't stupid and we can clearly see that neither of those are true so he's simply summarizing the existing situation with nothing added and it makes you laugh you see what I mean an accurate summary is what a joke is humor is an accurate summary of reality and and uh Mark Levin obviously knows that so I would like to add one more thing to the obvious level people it's not obvious that she's drunk in public I'm not the only one noticing that are we going to just have a repeat in four years where the where the Press is going to say you know we s drinking your lunch all the time we saw her acting like she doesn't act when she's not drunk in public yeah she was drunk as hell am I supposed to not notice that she acts exactly like a drunk person but not all the time which is exactly the tell for a drunk person if somebody if she act like this all the time then I'd say oh oh that's maybe just how she acts because she probably wouldn't be drunk all the time but you see those laughing things and the the weird things she says every now and then those are clearly drunk do you agree now you could you could say it's some other form of inebriation but I'll just use drunk to handle the other forms as well probably alcohol my guess is alcohol it looks like alcohol so how many of you would agree because because to me it's screamingly obvious that she's drunk in public on a regular basis do you disagree I'm looking at the comments because I don't know if you do do you agree that you know some of it is just who she is but a lot of it is just obviously drunk and they're just not telling us you think you think the Press doesn't know that she's drinking your lunch of course they know of course they know they're doing it to you again and um much as I love Mark livin's summary I think it I think he buried the lead the lead is drunk that's the lead if you don't deal with that question and deal with it seriously you're going to have a drunk president and that's a pretty big contrast to somebody who has never had a sip of alcohol running against you I it's a big contrast now I don't think that Trump can say she's drunk you maybe you could say she looks drunk but that would be a little too far you know beyond what is a proven thing it's not proven I just think it's obvious right anyway I guess we'll keep ignoring that um here's what I think I think America is now experiencing a form of massive Gelman Amnesia I talk about this a lot because if you don't understand what this is the whole world is confusing so Gilman was the name of a famous physicist you most you heard this before who noticed that when he read a story about physics his own expertise he knew it was but when he read the very next story about anything else he just assumed it was true and then one day after seeing this pattern re reoccur that the physics stories were always wrong but he thought everything else was right being the smart physicist that he was he said wait a minute isn't it slight more likely that all of the news is wrong all the time and I only notice it when it's my own area of expertise and that's exactly what's happening the news is pretty much fake all the time when it's the big geopolitical stuff it's not fake when it says there's a hurricane right hurricane is real it's not fake when it says somebody died they died but it's fake when they put this spin on it the narrative that sort of stuff so here's what's happening um to the entire country so we have this situation where Democrats now know completely with certainty regular Democrat voters they know with certainty that the entire media lied to them about a critical critical thing and they know it wasn't a mistake that's important they know it wasn't a mistake they know they were lied to for years by their trusted media will the Gilman approach kick in and make all the Democrats think well that was just that one story because that what that's what G Manisha would be it's like well okay I guess I got that one thing wrong but this other story is real will they or will it cure them will it cure them like like G man cured himself which is noticing the pattern wait whenever I can know for sure what the truth is such as watching the debate then you can know for sure what the truth was it doesn't match what I was told how often is that going to happen how often am I going to notice that I can see with my own eyes that what they're telling me is not real how many times do you notice that before you realize that's the normal it's not the exception that's everything all the time if it's important if it's important there's somebody with money who's going to make you lie about it might be your boss might be your advertisers but if it's important somebody with a lot of money is going to force you to lie about it that's the reality that we live in and tomorrow they're going to wake up and they're going to see their story about 97% of scientists saying climate change is real and they're going to say that's probably true look at all those people on the same side Gilman amnesia in in in uh the biggest possible sense well let's see um uh Molly Hemingway is pointing us at Peter Baker who's the New York Times chief White House correspondent and uh Peter baker said this he said uh one party has a candidate who is really old and showing it the other has a candidate who is a convicted felon uh a Jud ated sexual abuser a business fraudster and self-described aspiring dictator for a day and also really old one party wants to replace its candidate the other does not Molly Hemingway had this comment about that comment she said I wonder what the New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker's personal politics are there's simply no way you can tell from his reporting or tweeting oh wait it's all propaganda all the way down is it well let's look at his claims do you think he would make any claims that are obviously a lie like just obviously well let's see he said uh one is a convicted felon that's not true because until the judge certifies it it's not a convicted felon and given recent changes it's unlikely or at least it's a coin flip whether will ever happen he's not a convicted felon and you're the chief and but the uh Chief way House correspondent for the paper of record just said he was and yet it's factually easily determined to be not true you don't have to be a news person or a scientist just Google it is is he technically a felon or does something else have to happen before he would be you can find out for yourself it's just not true how about he's an educated sexual abuser huh adjudicated why why would you say he's an adjudicated sexual abuser why wouldn't you say sexual abuser why because the case was a Civil Trial not a not a criminal and the claimant is not credible in my opinion and lots of other people's opinions so we don't actually know if he sexually abused anybody and honestly it sounds pretty unlikely to me the the specific claim so he has to say it's adjudicated which means that a was it a New York jury found him guilty so in other words people who don't like Trump in the unfriendliest Trump Place decided it was slightly more true that this woman was telling the truth and therefore he had to pay some money so the New York Times instead of saying it's a it's a he said she said situation they say he's a adjudicated sexual abuser because if you don't know the story you'd say oh I guess the evidence showed in a criminal case that he's a criminal abuser nope nope that's a claim with a very low level of credibility doesn't mean it's fake but if you're a journalist and you act like it's credible that's not true and remember credible doesn't mean true or not true it just means on the surface is this something you would trust they say he's a business fraudster was that because of the belief that he exaggerated his assets exactly the way everybody does in that business and the bank didn't care and they knew it was an exaggeration because everybody exaggerates so they checked themselves as they always do so there was no fraud whatsoever and they'd be happy to work with him or was he talking about Trump University which was definitely a sketchy situation but where's the reporting on how much Trump knew do you think Trump was getting into the details of trump University do you think he looked at the documents and talked to the people who took the course I doubt it the only thing we know for sure is that he owned something that went bad he didn't manage it he he wasn't in charge that was somebody he worked with so yes he he has to take the for getting into business with somebody who didn't do a good job he has about 400 businesses some of them go bad but you wouldn't see that context and uh the uh chief White House correspondent for the New York Times says that he's a self-described aspiring dictator for a day you don't think that you have some responsibility to your readers to say that the self-described aspiring dictator for a day was not at all serious and no serious person could think it was serious but here it is in the New York Times uh is I mean it's coming from a New York Times person that's the sort of thing that people who read the New York Times think is true imagine just imagine if the New York Times were your main source of news just imagine how how confused you'd be about everything anyway um so over in Great Britain uh I think the labor party had a big win in their election that's still correct right I saw the early reporting last night so the labor party got the big win and I said to myself oh so you mean that Great Britain actually voted to destroy itself cuz I couldn't understand how the labor party that I thought was left leaning would be an upgrade to the problems that are destroying their country to me it looked like it would accelerate the destruction of the country I don't know because I don't follow politics at all in in Great Britain so I don't really know what's going on so I you know posted did Great Britain just vote on July 4th ironically to destroy their country I think he had a couple of million views cuz people were weighing in and some people who live there were trying to explain to me how this works I don't understand it but apparently the conservative party was not doing the job so they voted in the party that has the opposite opinions of what they want because they think that will somehow destroy it and then everything will be destroyed and then they'd have some chance of building back something that works now that sounds bad crazy to me or poorly explained so that maybe the problems on my end but is something like that happening is there some kind of weird thing where Britain is trying to destroy their own system the voters are because it's all broken is that a real thing that's happening they're they're literally trying to vote for the wrong team to destroy the system I I I don't know don't don't believe anything I said about this because none of it makes sense to me I guess Nigel frage got a seat yeah now it does have something to do with you know who gets to team up with who I'm lost I mean I have no idea what they're doing over there but if somebody can explain it to me in simple terms i' love it rasmuson says that uh 48% of democrat voters um or at least somewhat agree that Biden should step aside so almost half of Democrats think he should step aside and um of course you know 62% of Republicans 62% of Republicans if you have to if you ever wondered do republ Republicans lie to pollsters you don't have to wonder anymore you really think that 38% of Republicans think that Biden is capable of doing the job no no they lied because they want to keep him in because he's easy to beat they they want the polls to say oh yeah oh yeah you should probably keep him in he looks pretty I don't see a problem what problem cognitive decline I don't even know what you're talking about I don't see a cognitive decline keep him in there keep him in there he's going to he's the only one who ever beat Trump so he's really your best bet he's the only one who ever beat Trump that makes perfect sense it's logical it's logical you know just because he doesn't have a brain anymore doesn't mean he can't beat Trump again be logical all right uh so I I love the fact that Republicans are so devious they they just freaking lied to pollsters whenever it's a Strategic Benefit they just lie which to me is funny all right here's a test how many people ped think Biden won the debate how many people pulled think Biden won the debate you know oh you know you know 22% yeah 22% boy I'd hate to meet that 22% anyway so there's a other polling New York Times poll that says that Trump got a big bump uh from men so uh likely male voters um at least the Young men especially the young men with no College uh big increase moving toward uh almost doubled moving toward Trump now who's the first person in the public domain who told you that Democrats are the party of women and that there would be a mass Exodus of men away from it I think it was me I think I'm the first person to tell you and I started saying it in maybe 2016 the the Hillary Clinton effect you know I it looked to me Permanent and to me it looked like it would just drive men away until it was nothing but women and and weak men which is basically what's happening so here's my take I I I agree with James Carville the party of preachy women that's what he says preachy women James Carville says is driving Menor Trump and record numbers but I think that what's happening is that uh politics and L logic have failed at every level in a normal world you make decisions by politics and argument and logic in a perfect world but that that world doesn't exist we've seen that politics has completely failed because the entire media was lying to us about the most basic thing does his brain work if the media is lying to you about the most basic things and you depend on a well-informed voters to make the system work you can conclude that politics is completely broken and I don't see a quick fix so if politics is completely broken you know the part where you get information and make good decisions and logic and reason have been thrown out the door because we're just being gaslighted about what we see isn't real what do you do the if you were going to see that on paper like if somebody described that to you and you were just an alien trying to decide what would happen next you'd probably say if you knew what humans are that we would revert to a biological truth so if you take away our let's say our uh higher level thinking all right we're going to use some logic we're going to do a little AB testing if you take that all away you get down to just biological urge and that's where we are and that's the basis for my prediction that once politics is completely debunked as it is now that people would act biologically and men have a biological instinct to seek what I call the Fortress personality that's Trump he's like a fortress as a personality meaning that he's the strongest male player in a situation that looks perilous the strongest male player in a situ sitation that looks perilous will be a magnet for strong men CU strong men will sense the fight you can feel it there's a fight coming might be physical hope it isn't but you can feel the fight and when you feel the fight you put down your video games you put down your toys and you find the strongest leader CU it's time to fight men are leaving the Democrat Party because they need a champion and there's only one there's only one strong male who says here are our problems I'm going to go like hell at them like I'm going to attack the Border problem I'm going to solve your war with Ukraine I'm going to save you economically and biologically men can't resist that we we are pack animals and we like leaders and by the way if there is no leader one of us will step up we like it when there's a better leader than us most of the time but if there is none we step up we'll do it right it's just biological so women are in their own world they've got their own concerns I can't say that I understand them completely I can see why they're you know afraid of trump if they've listened to their own news I mean if they believe their own news you can see why women would be afraid of trump right but the problem is they believe their own news now that the news is completely debunked in my opinion I think young men and non- colge educated men that and the numbers are backing it up are just going to start flocking to what is real and what is strong and what could potentially save us from complete destruction I don't know that women have the same Instinct I don't know I don't think so I think women are built for empathy and you know doing the things that women are uniquely qualified to do and I think men are built to fight we're bu we're built to defend we're built we're built to kill stuff when it needs to be killed so you're seeing uh a complete abandonment of that higher level thinking among young men and they're just moving toward power just moving toward power you don't have to be afraid of it because it's a it's a good Force it's a force against it's a force against evil it's a force against everything stupid and it's happening and I'm going to go further into the provocative and I don't think America can recover until men stop giving a about the opinions of bad crazy women you should definitely care about the opinions of women who were not crazy there are a lot of Republican women for example perfectly normal people you should listen to them they're on your side they're siding with the men so of course you should listen to them so it's not about women it's about bad crazy women now of course because we live in a terrible terrible world if I'm quoted on this it will be quoted as I'm talking bad about women right because the the idiots the idiots will say ah he hates all women don't listen to that guy but I think you know how this is played now right you can't tell the truth without getting cancelled but too bad you already canceled me I can tell the truth the problem in the United States is bat crazy women and men who won't tell them they're bat crazy Rachel M you're crazy you're bat crazy I don't want to listen to you Joy Reed you're crazy you're Bas you crazy I don't want to listen to you Molly Hemingway you're awesome one of the smartest people I know if you got something that sounds like a good idea I'm listening to you listening to you big time absolutely Dana Pino you got some good ideas I going listen to you totally listen to you it's not about women it's about batshit crazy women and if you can't make that distinction and you can't say it out loud you're the whole country's you got to call out the batshit crazy women now I know what you're going to say you're going to say but but but what about the men because there are lots of democrat men not really not really all all these smart Democrat men have already capitulated they've already said we don't have a candidate right it's only the the weak feminine men who are still siding with the bashit crazy people CU they're too weak they they don't have break free and it will take the young men who don't give a to break free until the Republican party is just so dominant that they can get what they want so Basia crazy women you're giving all of your power away you just don't know it uh because you've jumped the shark everybody can see it now it's completely transparent the entire media landscape and the Democrats were all lying to you about everything and it's all out there now uh but here's the thing we should all try to avoid and I'm going to try to avoid this in my ongoing conversations with Michael Ian Black who I'm finding amazingly Brave and flexible in his thinking if you don't agree with that I'll make you agree well I'll work on you there there's something amazingly productive happening um about my conversation with him both public and private uh he's you know very firmly in the Democrat preference camp but not crazy not stupid not crazy and not lying none of those things he actually has just been getting different news in the yor and as he shares his news with me and I find out holy I've been lied to um these revisions of the employment numbers they go both ways I didn't know that I thought they almost always went in one way he corrected me now as long as I'm willing to be corrected and do it publicly you know take my take my shame he's he did it too you saw during actually he led he led this he was more of the leader so during the debate when the fine people hoax came up he debunked it because I provided and you had provided some new information that he just hadn't seen and with the new information he modified his opinion didn't change his preference for who was president but he understood that the major hoax was a hoax and he called it out publicly to his credit so somebody asked me earlier why do I keep saying he's Brave you couldn't do that try try publicly saying the something that you'd believe for a long time was completely wrong that's not easy that's not easy do you know how much mocking he got for for saying I just figured that out well it should be the same amount you should give me for just figuring out that those uh those employment numbers can go both ways in the adjustments yeah we we deserve you're a little bit of mocking but we can take it apparently apparently we're both able to take it so then it could be productive because we can take the take the embarrassment so uh props to uh Michael but here's something that he and I both need to be better at which is uh assuming that the worst 5% on each side represent the rest of them all right the the worst 5% of Republicans and conservatives are terrible people the worst 5% of Democrats are terrible people can we agree on that in fact I see the worst 5% of both sides as basically the same people like the the words are a little different but they're the same people right they're not they're not the people you should be listening to whether it's left or right but we both he and I both have a little bit too much habit of feeling the generalization from the worst 5% so I'm going to try to break that um might be hard that ladies and gentlemen is all I wanted to tell you about the news today what a day tons of stuff happening um ran really long and I apologize for that but it was worth it it was so good and uh people on locals I'm going to talk to you privately for just a minute but the rest of you on Rumble and uh You.

Tube and X thanks for joining e e e e

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

call coffee with Scott Adams I'm pretty

sure you've never had better time and

today's going to be extra special

because the news the news has got all

kinds of stuff there's things happening

all over the place we'll talk about them

and they're all interesting

weirdly a super interesting

Day comments are working technolog is

working allergy is not so bad we're in

good shape Story number one you didn't

even need to hear this cuz you already

knew yes you are so far a hand of

science that when you hear this you're

going to say Scott I knew that so

there's a new study that says YouTubers

can fulfill emotional needs better than

casual

friends so there's a new study that says

if you're watching somebody on

YouTube and uh you do it on a regular

basis that you can have your emotional

needs fulfilled even though it's sort of

a you know one-way

conversation that's what I'm doing years

ago I wrote that I would be your

invisible friend but now I'm Not

Invisible thanks to technology here I am

so if you haven't caught how coffee with

Scott Adams Works uh it's more than just

the live stream the members on the

locals locals community at scott.

locals.com

are basically

friends there just happen to be a lot of

us so if you want to be part of it I

will be your non-invisible friend and

it's way better than not having friends

some say it's better than having friends

yeah some say but I think you should

have friends too but if you don't and

you don't have enough I will be your

your visible

friend apparently science agrees all

right I saw this uh great post from

Fisher King which is a Anonymous

name about being a night owl he says

being a night owl isn't isn't about

staying up late for whatever reason to

drink or party it's about feeling a

release of tension an ease in the dark

that lets you do the work and study that

makes you happy something about broad

daylight creates a pressure to be

involved with things move with the

hustle and bustle of people in the

streets when you really uh you need

Solitude and

silence now first of all I agree with

the statement that uh you know working

with everybody else's asleep is the best

time but oh my God is the writing in

this

good the release of tension and ease in

the dark I just love the choice of words

and um and I would say also that uh

working early in the morning cures my

ADHD in the afternoon my brain's all

over the place I can't concentrate in

the morning when it's dark and everybody

else is asleep and it's too cold to be

outdoors and I wouldn't want to be

outdoors anyway my whole world shrinks

to the size of my desk and I even keep

it dark uh only only my desk area is

lighted everything else is complete dark

in silence uh otherwise I can't

concentrate now I recommend this in in

this case fisher king is uh prefers the

night hours I prefer the early morning

hours but more generally creative work

is best done between midnight and 8:00 a

I like the you know 4:30 to 8:00 a.m.

part other people like the midnight to

4:00 a.m. part but it's the same part

that's where that's where you can really

focus on who you are and your creative

process

so

um Ju Just think about that if you're

having a problem concentrating on the

things you need to move forward think

about experimenting either late at night

if you don't have to get up or early in

the morning uh it turns out people are

very different you can't all be mourning

people I used to think you could but now

I think you can't make yourself be a

morning person but you might make you

might be easy to be a you know 12 to two

person uh axios is reporting there's a

big movement to ban cell phones in

schools to which every single person

here who has any experience with

children in schools and cell phones

said wait a minute they weren't already

banned

what wait what they they weren't already

banned in school well they were sort of

banned in terms that you couldn't use it

during the class but everybody just used

it under their desk so so everybody was

just sort of like

this you

know there's no way you could possibly

concentrate on your class and do that at

the same time however um I've got a

provocative hypothesis we assume that

the children will learn better and be

better and be better off if they don't

have their distraction of their phones

because it's Common Sense am I right

what could be more obvious than you

don't want people distracted when

they're trying to learn well let me

throw in a little bit of a little bit of

a

thinker what are we preparing kids for

are we preparing them for a world that

doesn't exist or for a world that does

exist and the world that does exist is

full of

distractions if you can't learn to do

your classwork and use your phone in

class you're never going to make it in

the real

world you didn't see that coming did

you uh yeah when I took a uh an

employment test for Pacific Bell when I

was very young part of the test was a

distraction test have you ever heard of

this I think it was a common in the Bell

syst system at some time they would

literally give you a test and then they

would distract you every you know

whatever minute or something and the

entire thing was to see if you could do

ordinary tasks in the context of being

distracted every few seconds and if you

couldn't do it they didn't want to hire

you because the real world is about lots

of

distractions so it could be that while

it's definitely true your kids aren't

learning as much that it's creating a

filter

that the people who can survive that

kind of environment learn to do it

better we might be

surprised at which one of these we want

now I don't think you can disturb the

classroom situation with you know that's

a different thing but we might find that

you got to you got to teach kids to deal

with distractions because that's what

the real world is maybe I'm just putting

it out there as a hypothesis I I am not

in favor of kids having cell phones in

schools I'm not in favor for that just

hear that clearly but I'll just put out

there as a

hypothesis we're not entirely sure

what's true we live we live in a world

where you don't

know I know I see I see what you're

saying did we forget something something

very

important called the simultaneous Sip

and you feel the lack don't you yeah you

can feel it you're in

complete well if you'd like to be

complete all you need is a cuper marar

glass a tanker chalse or St on a canteen

jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill

it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine here

the the day the thing that makes

everything better is called the

simultaneous Sip and it's going to

happen now go

now this brings me perfectly to a topic

that was

upcoming did you feel the need for the

simultaneous zp because you developed a

habit and it had a

reward you felt it right you so you can

feel that I have rewired your brains in

a very specific way intentionally you

know with your permission because you

obviously knew what was happening and

you now have a new habit or a new piece

of

circuitry this is something the

hypnotist can do right not just

hypnotists of course but hypnotist know

how to add a little brain circuitry

where there wasn't one before we can

connect two things that weren't

connected and they'll stay connected

because the circuitry is physically

there once it's

created now take that

thought and apply it to the next topic

coincidentally I have a

theory that uh time

blindness so-called time blindness do

you know people who have time blindness

they used to call it ADHD or it's an

element of it or maybe it's something

else but it's the idea that some people

can't be on time because they're just

they're they're blind to

time now how many times have we seen

that um I've cured a condition that was

incurable

if you're new to the stream you just

said what all right here this is for the

new

people this is just to give a shock to

the system if you're new to the stream

I've cured more people than

Jesus that's literally true now Jesus is

better than me you know let me be clear

Jesus is way better than me I'm not

comparing myself to Jesus I'm just

giving you use a data point see Jesus

didn't have a social media so when he

was doing his cures he was done doing

one off it's like what' you do today

Jesus well I cured three lepers and a

blind guy well that's pretty impressive

that's really impressive I can't do

that but if I come up with a cure for

something I can tell a million

people right so I've cured probably

thousands of people of pesis that's shy

bladder just with the hypnosis

essentially um I've cured the common

sneeze I wrote about that in my book

reframe your brain not every kind of

sneeze but I taught you a mental trick

to make a sneeze go away by imagining

you're sneezing instead of actually

sneezing now you didn't see that coming

did you I've also

cured a number of people of a incurable

speaking problem one I had and I've

suggested people maybe looking for the

surgery and a number of people got the

surgery and got cured so I've you know

cured them just by information in that

case they didn't know there was a cure I

set them up they got a cure likewise

with the reframe um alcohol is

poison probably hundreds maybe maybe

more have told me they stopped drinking

forever just put the words alcohol is

poison because that allowed them to see

it in a different frame and then it was

easier to quit I get hundreds of people

maybe thousands who told me that they

dropped you know 50 and 60

PBS how much healthier are you if you

drop 60 PBS probably a lot so I do have

a track record of literally curing

people of and that's just a partial list

of debilitating uncurable or hard to

cure problems

you have to know that because the next

thing I'm going to say is so wildly

improbable that if you didn't have the

context you would say I'm not even going

to listen to what you say because you're

so wildly crazy but if you knew that I

have in fact cured a number of major

problems in in public I do it in public

and then people can see it you can see

the comments you can see it

yourself uh I'm going to cure time

blindness

now now you're going to say to yourself

Scott Scott why why don't you just

listen to The

Experts are you kidding me have

you heard from the experts lately

apparently the experts are wrong about

just about everything all the time

that's not true of course but it feels

like it lately so I don't even blink

when somebody says I'm going to tell you

something that's opposite of science now

and I think I'm right there was a time I

would have said come on don't waste my

time don't waste my time saying that you

know something that science got

wrong but these days I'm willing to

listen I'll tell you I'm a lot less

cocky than I used to be about my science

I I used to be one of those

it's like M yeah I hear what you're

saying but do you know that all of

science disagrees with you how about

that I win science is on my side yeah

yeah me it's me and science we're like

Bros together we can conquer everything

and then I found out that my bro science

was a big liar science is I

can't trust it at all all right so with

that setup I give you the

following I don't think that people have

time blindness I think that a hypnotist

with a little bit of work and it would

take some AB testing I don't think I can

get it on the first try I think think

you could find a piece of circuitry that

you can connect for the first time with

people who say they have time blindness

and you can cure it in other words you

can build a habit that would just be

automatic uh as much as the simultaneous

zip and I don't know exactly how to do

it but I'll give you some some things I

would

try I have an observation and I don't

know if any of you can back this up so

this is not real data this is just an

anecdotal

I believe that people who have time

blindness often were in a situation

where they could spend lots of time

alone in other words they had their own

bedroom when they were young and maybe

their own

bathroom so that they could be time

blind without any external thing

affecting them and so it would never get

fixed so their lateness is when you're

not watching and other words if somebody

who has time blindness stood right next

to me and I said here's what we're going

to do

we're going to chop up these

vegetables all right and I'll take a

piece of broccoli I'll say okay you take

a piece of broccoli right do it the same

time I do right now let's see if we can

finish at the same time we're just chop

chopping broccoli I'm chopping you're

chopping do you think that they couldn't

do it do you think that the person

standing right next to you would be time

blinded and then they wouldn't be able

to chop broccoli and be done about the

same time you were no they would because

you would be their

external clock you would be the clock

they wouldn't think of it that way but

they would just automatically match your

pace now suppose you put that person in

a repeated bunch of situations where you

create artificial situations where they

just have to do things at the same way

in the same time and the same you know

exact sequence as a person who doesn't

have time

blindness then secondly you do a little

test you say hey we're going to do a

little test uh try to tell me when you

think 7 minutes is up and then you just

see how close they get now sometimes

they'll forget to even

answer it'll be like an hour later and

you'll say okay do you remember that you

were going to tell me when seven minutes

was up and it might be wildly impossible

at first but I'll bet you that if you if

you get people to feel physically what

it's like to be next to somebody who

knows what time is and feels it that you

would learn to feel

it much like uh I'm the worst drummer in

the world you know I try to try to do

play the drums but if I watch a good

drummer on a YouTube my drumming

instantly gets better just from the

exposure it doesn't last but I can I can

pick up like a little extra Funk or

something just immediately so I believe

that people might learn their sense of

time from exposure to other people

here's another example

this is my favorite one I I I use this

example A Lot the way you train a uh

hering dog like a sheep dog to herd the

Sheep is you just introduce a new dog

that's it that's the training the new

dog just watches the trained dog and in

a really short time a few days the new

dog becomes a sheep dog just from

exposure to oh you do that I'll do that

looks like you're having fun I'll have

fun

secondly I also observe that people with

time blindness do not get a dopamine hit

from being on

time but I do I get a dopamine hit from

doing boring things efficiently people

who have time blindness will tell you if

I'm doing a boring thing like I my brain

just checks out I can't concentrate on a

boring thing but I say how do you ever

have a boring thing how do you ever have

a boring thing I never have a boring

thing I have

challenges so if something's boring I

say how's the fastest way I can make

this uh finish in the way nobody's ever

done it so fast and then it's a

challenge and then it's interesting and

if I can do that thing that takes an

hour and 45 minutes the next day I say

I'll bet I could do it in 44 minutes so

I never I'm never bored I'm always

creating a challenge now these are

habits could you install these habits or

something like them you know I I don't

think I've NE necessarily hit the answer

yet I just believe that the missing

piece of circuitry is something that's

completely fixable because brains are

programmable and that little free

floating thing that doesn't connect your

sense of time to what you're doing at

the moment I could connect those I could

connect those and I'll bet I'll bet any

hypnotist could you know any really good

hypnotist I don't think you can do it

with a therapist necessarily I don't

think you can do it with a pill

necessarily I do think a hypnotist could

do it with some people over time it

might take a little

experimenting so I just put that out

there that I think we have a complete

wrong understanding of time blindness

and what to do about

it the tape Brothers won their appeal so

they the appeal allows them to travel I

guess they still have legal Peril but uh

at the moment as long as they're free

they can now travel in Europe now I ask

you why couldn't they travel in Europe

before what changed between the time

they had to be in jail to the time they

were allowed to be out but in Romania to

the time now that they could travel

obviously being flight

risks is this sort of the cats on the

roof is this the first step toward an

admission that the charges were complete

because you know I'm no fan of

uh Andrew Tate just for personal reasons

not because of what he says uh I I

actually like what he says I like his

act uh I don't like him personally as a

as a human being that that's just as

personal interactions with him

but everything about the legal Peril

that they're in just

screamed not real it just screamed like

somebody was out to get them and they

were law faring him in Romania the worst

possible thing that could happen to you

so keep an eye on that yes if I had to

predict I'm going to predict that they

don't go to jail and that we someday

learned the charges were complete

and that they came from another

country in other words Al Bet Romania

was doing a favor to some other country

for some other reason somebody didn't

like them that's what I think because

there are just too many people who have

a certain kind of view who have bad luck

have you notice that oh uh Alex Jones

well you know that's a special case cuz

was the thing he said and you know kind

of bad luck and then Andrew Tate as well

you know yeah you have to understand you

probably did some bad things in addition

to the things he was saying so you know

the bad things catch up with you maybe

and uh you know this cartoonist got

cancelled for what he said but you know

you have to understand is what he said

it's you know special case there

certainly are a lot of special cases

aren't there have you noticed how many

special cases there are that all seem to

go in One Direction because I don't see

a lot of special cases on the left just

a lot of special cases on the right so

watch out for the special cases they may

not be as special as you think talker

Carlson got fired from Fox News but that

was a special case because he said

something about the elections

right maybe there are no special

cases speaking of Tucker uh he's said

that he's got a interview lined up and

he's going to talk to zalinski

zelinsky's people said nope uh nothing

like that happened there is nobody in

Zen's office who believes that that's

true he has a full schedule and his

schedule is not involving Tucker and

it's completely made up and maybe he

shouldn't believe things that Russians

tell

him do you think he got

pranked do you think that some Russian

pretend to be a zinsky person and yeah

how would you really know I mean if

somebody called me and

said oh is he Scott Adams I'd be yes oh

this is zelinsky's office this is my

Ukrainian accent you recognize it

Ukrainian accent uh this is you

Ukrainian uh office of zalinsky uh we

very much like to to interview with

you how would I know it's not zalinski

you know I suppose you could ask the

government but if your Tucker you know

the government's not even going to

return your call it would be pretty easy

to get pranked and I'd like to give you

the extra extra extra

caution you have to stop believing every

audio source for everything even if it's

live you have to learn to not trust any

audio

Source even live even if you're having a

conversation live you don't know if

you're even talking to a person anymore

you really

don't remember AI has passed the touring

test that means that literally

scientifically a human can't tell

they're talking to an AI all the time

sometimes you can so don't trust

anything could be a prank could be an AI

could be an OP there's just nothing you

can

trust anyway meanwhile up in Canada the

woke Canadians are they're having

experiment with their first 15minute

city so the city of Edmonton is going to

divide itself into 15 little parts and

then all of them will be places that if

you live in one of those little Parts

you'll be able to get whatever you want

within 15

minutes um and it'll be mostly mass

transit so everything would be more

convenient and closer don't need as much

climate change don't need to spend as

much money we'll talk about climate

change later um and of course uh my

audience is concerned that this would be

CLA Schwab's dream of globalizing

everything and taking away your freedoms

so you don't want your City to be

convenient because it'll take away your

freedoms now I of course have given you

a little push back on the idea that

living in a city that's welld designed

for your convenience is really a plot to

control you maybe it's just good for

everybody but I do acknowledge that uh

this change would give the give people

an easier way to control you would you

agree that the 15minute city would give

the people in charge yet another way to

control you and of course they would

because every time you give them control

they use it would you can we all agree

that it does create a situation where

maybe you don't have a car it just feels

like they would be able to control you

better if you you're in your little

15minute city it's not that you can't

leave but you won't have a

car so you'll have to work at it a

little bit harder if you want to leave

well here's my

context

um when the automobile was first

introduced into

America did it give you Freedom or take

it away well it gave you Freedom right

cuz you got to drive around well did it

did it cuz it came with all kinds of

rules what you could do what you

couldn't do and then you got to the

point where you had to have a car like

you didn't even have an option so cars

started out as well Isn't that cool to

they're mandatory really how could you

live a modern life without one you know

at some point so then he had phones when

Tel phones were

introduced the government got a way to

spy on all of you because they could tap

your phones with any good reason so was

the telephone a good idea or a bad

idea because it guaranteed you lost your

privacy you know the government could

listen to anything they wanted but the

telephone was useful you know sort of

like a 15minute city it's just that you

gave up your privacy but then you had a

computer wow computers were great right

you could do so many

things but it gave the government a way

not to just spy on one phone call but

they could learn everything you've ever

done everything you care about everybody

you've talked to everything you've said

you gave up all of your

freedom because computers are really

cool and they're useful and they're

great so were computers a bad

idea well they gave up all of your

freedom depends do you like freedom

because you lost it but the computers

are cool too games and you you can do

things they have

apps um how about uh security cameras

you know it's great that you could have

a security camera to feel safe you know

it keeps the bad guys away easier to

catch

them

but then that meant you were on security

cameras everywhere you went so you gave

up all of your physical freedom in the

sense of people not knowing where you

are at any given time because they also

added facial

recognition

so security cameras are great when you

agree keeps you safe also took away all

your freedom so now you you don't have

the ability to travel without being

spotted how about facial

recognition great stuff the convenience

of it you could tell if somebody is a

real person we don't do this yet but we

will uh if you go to the store you don't

have your ID wouldn't it be great if

they just use facial recognition I mean

I use it on my phone all the time I I

hated putting in my password in my phone

now I just you know phone just looks at

my face my God that's great that is a

great great thing that took away all my

privacy I've got one of those digital

devices from Amazon whose name I dare

not say it's amazing I can't tell you

how much my life is because I can just

talk to that thing all day long I'm

talking to it I've got one in all my

major rooms I talk to it all day long

I'm asking it questions and checking

things it's great it also listens to

everything I do or could and if the

government wanted to listen to me in

every room they

could but it's really cool I really

enjoy

it

so I would argue that the most common

thing for us and we'll see it with AI as

well AI is really useful it's great do

you think AI will take away some of your

freedoms of course it will do you think

AI will take away your jobs of course it

will do you do you think that your

ability to even experience the feeling

of free will will be diminished greatly

by AI yes yes it will how about the

robots that are going to be in your

house you can actually have a robot

connected to the internet with eyes and

a brain watching everything you do but

it's going to be so

cool I'm going to get

one I'm going to get one yeah and it's

going to be watching me just like a spy

and the government could probably take

over that robot's brain anytime it

wanted watch everything that I do and

even tell the robot to look around I

think that I think at what some point

the government if it has a warrant will

be able to listen to this the government

will be able to order your robot to

search your house while you're at

work yeah your robot will be ordered to

watch your passwords as you type them

into your

computer oh yeah that's coming but are

you not going to get a

robot you will get a

robot we're all going to have a robot

we're all going to have robots and

you're going to give away whatever's

left the last shred of your independence

from the

government so when you tell me Scott you

idiot don't you understand that

the 15minute cities are part of the

global conspiracy to take away your

freedoms I say of course I understand

that I understood it about the phone the

car the computer I understand it about

my digital devices I understand it

about security cameras I understand it

about AI I understand it about robots

it's going to happen

anyway and I for one am in favor of

Designing cities to be more

efficient and if you're concerned about

taking your freedom I would say you're

completely right and it probably doesn't

matter because you've given away your

freedom so many times there's no Freedom

left and what the hell are they going to

do to you they that they can't already

do I mean

really you're you're afraid of the

digital money because then they'll know

exactly what you're doing with your

money if you're using a credit card they

already know what you're doing with your

money it's only cash that matters and

cash is mostly used for sketchy reasons

right now is to avoid taxes basically or

buy drugs I

guess anyway here's a new report I'm

going to test your bias the RNC reports

RNC research account on X reports that

the official jobs number uh from the

last two months has been revised

downward wow by

111,000 so surprise right the jobs

report looked really good and then just

like you knew it got revised down quite

a bit quite a bit that's a big number

now here's a test of your uh your

knowledge of the

news true or false here's a true or

false test true or

false in the election here when Biden is

in charge and therefore the government

is sort of pro Biden one

assumes that they are going to lie about

the jobs numbers consistently while he's

in office and then there'll be like a

little correction later that they hope

you don't

notice true or false the news

consistently says the jobs are good and

then quietly correct it later where you

don't notice true or

false I'll read your answers true true

true true true true you've all seen

it you've seen it with your own eyes so

therefore it's true yep it's not

true do you know how I not know it's not

true because in my ongoing conversation

with Michael Le and black who represents

let's say almost the polar opposite of

my political views I mentioned that to

him I said you know conservatives see

this but you probably don't that those

job numbers that look good they always

you know maybe not 100% of time but

pretty much you could depend usually

they're going to get revised down and

then you won't notice the revision and

he said well that's not

true and I said come on it's the most

obviously true thing in the news how do

you not know that it's like almost every

month it seems it seems they say the

numbers were good and then a month later

they're not so good

and he said but I remember them being

revised in both

directions not just one way sometimes

they go up sometimes they don't and I

said to myself well that can't be true

because I only see them revised

down and so I checked turns out that

they're revised up sometimes and down

sometimes and that a republican entity

will tell me when they've been revised

down and they won't tell me when they've

been revised

up so Michael Ian Black for the

win he his version of the news was

accurate my version of the news was

100% win which I told him by

the way

100% his news was accurate mine was

and it wasn't wrong in terms of

you know the accuracy it was just what I

what I saw so I don't see anybody

posting well those numbers are way

better than we thought but today I saw

the RNC research number telling me and

and here's what Zero Hedge said uh

something like you know here it comes

here it goes again or something like

that so Zero Hedge presented it as the

here's here it is again here's what they

always

do but they don't they don't always do

that what is true is that when they do

it you see it because Republic an are

more likely to send that around social

media so if that if that uh tricked you

the way it tricked

me do your own research just you know

check you'll

see all right here's another fake news

there was some news that there was some

document suggesting that Mike Flynn

would be the VP Choice uh he says that

it's not true and that uh the filing he

debunked it so basically Flynn says

there's no filing that's not a real

thing now that doesn't mean that he's

not going to be the choice for vice

president I don't think he will

be but um it's just that this document

is fake so if you believe that document

was real uh check yourself because it

was fake now I didn't really

have I I guess I suspected it was fake

because I heard the story and yet I

didn't think it was important enough to

talk about I think I mentioned it was

new but it never seemed important to me

and it would have been important if I

thought it was true so I guess i' never

believed it enough to make it a big deal

so I I guess I I can take a a partial

victory in that I wasn't convinced of

this one but I could have made a bigger

I could have said more directly that I

was skeptical so I think I'll I'll

correct s on

that all

right so uh I saw talker saying this the

other day uh on a video that you have

you really have to restate in your mind

everything that you think you believed

about history because we're living

through history that will someday be in

history books and we can see with our

own eyes and our own ears that what will

be written in the history books will not

be real and yet we can be sure that

children will be taught it as if it's

real um the fact that the media tried to

tell us that Biden's problem was a cold

and a

stutter well let's say they were not

lying as obviously as they are if you

had to revise your understanding of

History you might say to yourself you

know all right I got to take this under

consideration there was a time I was

told from the historians that uh Stalin

was a bad dude and he he killed a bunch

of people that you know is considered

one of the greatest evils in history of

the

world but now I'm wondering if he didn't

just have a cold in a

stutter

no well they're telling us that a cold

and a stutter can make you act in a way

that no person normally acts people

don't normally want to kill 20 million

of their own people that's not normal

so how do we know he didn't just maybe

it's just a passing thing just a cold

and a stutter all right I'm kidding but

how ridiculous is it that they're still

trying to tell us it might be a cold in

a stutter and oh by the way uh he was

also

jetlagged and by the way it's just

normal aging here's a little trick I

learned from this the my uh who I call

my uh smartest Democrat friend I mention

him all the time

but one of the things he taught me years

ago was if somebody has one reason one

explanation for something it might be

true and it might be false you don't

know just one explanation but if

somebody offers you three competing

explanations it's always

uh why were you late oh traffic

was

bad and I had a flat

tire okay if it was only traffic was bad

maybe but if traffic was bad and you had

a flat tire suddenly it doesn't sound as

true he had a problem because he had a

cold and a

stutter and international travel 12 days

ago and it's just

normal as soon as you get that second or

third excuse

all doubt should be

removed about whether it's true nope you

get to that third one and that's that's

pretty confirming that it's not

real all right now the latest is that

Biden is telling Democratic Governors

that he's going to go go to sleep by

800m because he needs more

sleep no nothing wrong with that totally

normal you know you want him to be sharp

at 3:00 a.m. when he gets that call

about the nuclear attack and we'll say

he's in good shape went to bed at

8 yeah that would sound like yet another

maybe a fourth

excuse not just jet lag but in general

not enough

sleep but he also has a cold in a

stutter and uh Trump's old too Trump's

old

too in case I didn't mention that

Trump's old too so that would be like

five things

things all right um I would recommend

that whenever you hear somebody in the

mov in the news tell you that the

problem is he had a cold that you

translated into your head into

montypython talk because here's what's

not funny Jean Karin Johan prier saying

but people uh it's very clear um I've

been very clear very very clear he had a

cold he had a cold have been very clear

Have I Told you i' been clear I don't

know if I mentioned I've been clear very

clear it was just a cold people now

that's not

funny here's

funny it's just a

cold well but it looked like he couldn't

even talk it's just a gold he's he's

fine he's just got a gold now you're

probably realizing right now he can't do

a Monty Python accent to save his ass it

sounded exactly like his Ukrainian ACC

and that wasn't good to begin

with okay that's true so you have to do

your own Monty Python in your head you

don't do Mine mine's mine's not

good well Miranda deine Divine tells us

um is it deine or Divine probably Divine

Miranda divine right is it deine or

Divine it it's so hard the names that

don't tell you how to pronounce them by

looking at them anyway Miranda who's

great um she was saying on a report

recently on TV that every reporter on

the campaign show in 2020 could see with

her own eyes that Joe Biden was in

cognitive decline he was very low energy

he had to have

teleprompters uh for the smallest things

and his basic stump speeches blah blah

blah do you believe that do you believe

that everybody could see

it and the entire left leaning news

covered it up

that's funny let's play uh lying stupid

or crazy or

weak I added weak because we're going to

look at some people on the left and what

they say about Biden and you get to

decide are they lying are they stupid

are they crazy or are they just

weak Brian stelter

um now that he knows that Biden has

these problems and he was one of the

ones saying there was no problem at all

right up until the debate he uh wrote he

said the record of how Biden's Health

was covered is complicated just as aging

is a complicated

process is he lying stupid crazy or

weak lying crazy stupid or

weak is acting like maybe it wasn't Soo

obvious yeah maybe you couldn't really

see it you know because of the

complicated stuff it's complicated how

could anybody see it when it's so

complicated I'm going to say lying and

weak lying either because he's

weak or he's leak and weak and lying in

it's coincidence I don't think he's

crazy and I don't think he's stupid I

mean not that stupid

all right let's do another one uh George

soplos so he he's going to do the um

conversation with Biden I guess we'll

see it today and uh he is

presumably gonna give a Lifeline to

Biden if he can um as uh I think Ari fer

was pointing out he says uh it's amazing

to think Joe Biden's fate is in the

hands of Bill Clinton's former

communications director George uh

stas in 1992 George helped save Clinton

from a bimbo eruption what will he do

now for Biden save him or end him it's

possible that uh Stephanopoulos is being

sent to end him because if the people

were really in power in the Democrat

side need to end him they would send

their

best and he would do it

now is George stop plus lying stupid

crazy or weak lying stupid crazy or

weak because I think he was one of the

people saying Biden's

fine what do you think I'm going to say

lying definitely not

stupid definitely not

crazy definitely not

weak just lying yeah that was

easy how about Morning Joe so apparently

uh Joe came back to work after his

scheduled vacation that apparently did

not involve his

wife okay that's

normal um and uh he took that scheduled

vacation somebody pointed out uh soon

after he uh disagreed with his wife on

air and told her to calm

down I guess that's what get you a

that'll get you a vacation without your

wife

if you'd like a vacation without your

wife just tell her to calm down that'll

get you a vacation without a wife maybe

forever so anyway Morning Joe comes back

and you probably saw his rant about F

you if you don't know that Biden is the

best Biden there's ever been and a few

days later the best Biden uh decomposed

in front of us that was the best Biden

now Morning Joe lie lying stupid crazy

or

weak lying stupid crazy or

weak for Morning Joe Morning Joe what do

you

say uh I'm going to

vote

um obviously

lying but it looks like there's some

mental health problems there yeah so I

would go with lying and

crazy uh he doesn't seem weak I mean if

you're weak you don't tell your wife to

calm down on national TV you might pay

for it but it wasn't weak you know his

his uh I mean his whole thing he's not

weak all right and he's not

stupid he's not stupid not even a little

bit so I'm going to go with lying and

crazy all right here's another one uh

Joy Reed did a uh video in which he said

um that it looks like Hitler is going to

be elected and it wasn't a joke she was

saying that um in a real way Trump is

Hitler is she lying stupid crazy or

weak um I'm going to say

crazy because she represented herself

crazy in other words she looked crazy

she had crazy eyes crazy crazy thoughts

um there might be some lying mixed in

but she's not

stupid and she's not weak she's

definitely not

weak and there's no evidence she's

stupid there's plenty of evidence that

she has a mental health problem and that

she's

lying what about Rachel

madow lying stupid crazy or

weak she's not she's not stupid she's

smarter than all of us put together all

right she's super smart she's not

weak cuz you know she's pushed through a

lot of things to be on TV but she does

admit to some mental health issues

depression but you can see more of that

in her face like I don't know what the

problem is and I do actually have some

empathy for it she looks like she's

tortured uh I would say mental health I

don't want to say crazy cuz that's you

know crazy what you say to somebody

who's not under therapy I'm pretty sure

she's getting professional help so I'm

going to I'm going to be more kind and

not say crazy I will say there's a

mental health issue that's

genuine and is

serious and I think we're all being sort

of influenced by a mental health issue

more than the news all right that's my

take now you can't know but keep in mind

we're not mind readers so we can't know

that our our conclusions are right here

we're just saying what it looks

like all right and I would say I think

that the

MSNBC has a duty to disclose their

mental health situation I mean that

literally and I'm not saying this about

CNN uh CNN has a bunch of people who say

things I don't like sometimes they're

they're a lot better they're moving

toward the middle but I don't see them

looking czy do you I don't see them

having mental health problems I see Jake

Tapper doing Jake Tapper I see Wolf

Blitzer doing Wolf Blitzer you know um

John King doing John King none of them

look crazy not even a little bit but as

soon as I turn on MSNBC it's not that

they're more striding about Trump it's

not really

that they actually honestly without any

spin or anything to me they represent as

really obviously mentally ill now here's

where I'm going to get a little mad at

the

media you can see it

too everybody can see it you can see it

years ago with

Biden and here it is are you going to

tell me you don't see it are you going

to tell me you watch Rachel madow and

Joy Reed and Joe Scarboro and you don't

see really really obvious mental illness

you don't see it

can you actually say that to me it's

screamingly obvious and here's how I

check myself the CNN I I don't see it in

other places it's very unique to their

situation and I think they need to

disclose whether they're under the care

of a

professional I would like to know if the

person who's telling me what my reality

is is capable of understanding

reality isn't that fair

I think they should tell us if they're

under the care of a professional you

know do you go to therapy and

why wouldn't you like to know that

because if they're telling you what is

real don't you want to know if they've

got a grasp on what's real and I think

they

don't to me it looks like they have

legitimate mental health problems which

by the way if if they were to cop to

them I would immediately change my tone

and I would just go to empathy and I

would say God I hope you I hope you take

care of that cuz that sounds terrible I

mean a mental health problem is just

it's like being in hell so I have full

empathy for whatever is going on um it's

just we need a little transparency here

I think it would be good for the

country all

right

um Olivia NY nuzi I don't know how to

say her name either um she talks about

the conspiracy of Silence to protect the

president she said in January I began

hearing similar stories from democratic

officials activists and donors who came

away from interactions with Biden

disturbed by what they had seen and she

said she's been writing about it for the

while and it made me wonder I don't

remember her talking about it but you

know maybe I don't see all the news so

that's not a surprise and I wonder

should you revise your entire

understanding of who to listen to in the

future I would say yes I would say

anybody who looked at Biden so obviously

declining and told you with a straight

face he's fine you should never listen

to them

again I would go further and say that

anybody who is an anti-biden person who

didn't also say and he's obviously

declining mentally if they did tell you

that directly you should maybe not take

them too seriously in the future

but I'd like to call out a couple of

people who for years have been saying

Biden's brain is fried right now you

know you know some of them and this is

not a complete list but Greg

gfel how long has Greg Greg Gutfeld been

telling you loudly in public on his

shows Biden's brain is not

there it's

obvious so the next time he tells you

I'm looking at something something and

they're lying to you and I'll tell you

what the truth is maybe you should

listen to

him maybe you should because he got that

right right how about Jesse Waters now

Jesse is one of my favorite TV

personalities because he knows when to

be tongue and cheek and when to present

a character just for fun and but he also

has lots of good serious um takes on

stuff there are some of the best you

sometimes don't notice that his takes

are among the best in the business

because he does the com thing that you

know overshadows it but he too could see

the decline right from the

start Dana Pino I'm sure same thing

right um so just just take a mental note

who who was calling this out years ago

and obviously I was as well and who was

telling you it was there's no problem

that's not fixable you can't fix that if

somebody lied to you about something so

obvious four years you should never

believe anything they say again never

that's not like being

wrong being wrong is forgivable we all

do

it but that wasn't being wrong that was

lying to you about something you could

see with your own eyes four

years so just make a mental note of who

got it right all right so now you watch

98% of journalists tell you that Biden

was fine even though obviously wasn't

true will that have any impact on the

people who say but 98% of scientists say

climate change is real it's a big

problem do you think it'll have any

impact do you think people will begin to

doubt at all what everybody tells

them I think they're going to say oh but

you're talking about journalists yeah of

course journalists can be wrong but not

scientists not scientists no one of the

things we've learned is that you can't

trust anybody who gets a paycheck that

depends on their

opinion that's the one thing we've

learned the

journalists couldn't get paid if they

said Biden was declining because they

were part of a entity that wanted you

know a Democrat spin on their news so

the the reporters were not dumb and

stupid they knew exactly what they were

doing and they lied to the country while

we could see the truth right in front of

us and they never stopped until they had

to you know when he fell apart on the

debate now like I say scientists are not

journalists very different people but

the journalist knew the truth so in that

way it would be more like scientists

they weren't they weren't wrong they

knew the truth and they decided that

their paycheck depended and maybe their

personal politics depended on them not

telling you the truth so they lied

almost all of them on the left almost

all of them what do you think is

different about

scientists if a scientist depends on

agreeing with the narrative in order to

get a grant in order to get a job in

order to please their boss what would

you predict would happen it's exactly

the same as what happened with

journalists the science doesn't help

them are you going to say but but Scott

they're scientists and they care about

the truth that's exactly what your

journalist would say we're

journalists our job is to tell you the

truth with no spin just like the

scientists unless our paycheck and our

lifestyle depends on it and then we're

going to say what the narrative tells

us well it turns out that there are

three papers recently Wide Awake media

is reporting on this on next um and uh

there are three new papers that are

peer-reviewed that uh collectively they

say that 40% of what we observe as a

heat increase is really the heat island

effect from thermometers being too near

uh cities that are building out in the

direction of where the thermometers were

in the first place 60% seems to match

perfectly solar

activity ouch

ouch

yikes now you're going to say to

yourself but but it's just three studies

there's still tons of studies that would

say climate change is

real

um

and so I um I wonder if the people who

believe the journalists whose job it is

to tell you the truth without the spin

will maybe come to doubt the scientists

whose job it is to tell you the truth

without the

spin do you see the pattern

yet all that matters is who gives them

the

paycheck that's the truth they will tell

you doesn't matter what their job is

doesn't matter if you're a journalist

doesn't matter if you're a scientist

doesn't matter if you're a

politician you're going to tell the

truth that your paycheck tells you to

tell and we see it

how about the

pandemic the pandemic was the clearest

case you've ever seen the experts just

caved they just caved what's the

narrative how do I get a paycheck okay

that's the

truth I think climate change is getting

ready to crumble and that would be the

ultimate third act for for Trump the

ultimate third act climate change is a

hoax

yeah that's the

ultimate and it's coming apparently it's

coming now again I would like to remind

you I'm not a climate experts and I

don't know if the climate is getting

warmer or not and if humans make a

difference I'm just telling you what the

science is saying and the there's some

Modern recent papers that debunk the

whole thing are they

right why would I say that the new ones

are right when I'm saying all the old

ones are wrong

because it agrees with me

right do your bias check on me you know

do use the tools I tell you to use on me

is it is it credible that there are

three new papers who agree with me so I

talk about them no you shouldn't take

them as true because I'm talking about

them or because they agree with me or

because they agree with you if you

didn't believe the 10,000 papers that

said climate change was real are you

just going to automatically believe this

believe the three that say they're not

there's not it's a little too early to

celebrate if if that's what the way it's

going but I do observe that we didn't

see three papers debunking climate

change that were peer-reviewed and

there's no mo there's no major push back

in other words what you're not seeing

the dog not barking is people saying

look at the terrible quality of these

three papers how could you believe this

look at the mistakes they made look at

the bad

data it might happen and if you see that

push back you should take it seriously

all right you got to see both sides

don't do the documentary effect where

you see a documentary and then you think

you know everything you got to see the

documentary that says that one's wrong

and then maybe you can triangulate on

the truth but don't get too cocky just

because some papers agreed with you all

right

um Peter Hassan

uh has a good take on what kamla is

going to have to answer she's going to

if she becomes the top of the ticket

which I believe she is already

essentially so uh she's going to have to

answer the question when she knew the

president wasn't up to the

job what she did about

it and why she repeatedly told us that

he was

fine yes Peter Hanan those are exactly

the right

questions if she can't answer those

questions could you trust her with the

nuclear

codes those are really really good

questions I've often thought that the

public should be more involved in coming

up with good

questions uh often you see the media

doing their interviews and you say oh

you didn't ask the right question there

there should be some kind of like

website or something where people you

know compete for the best question and

then if you're a journalist you know you

check it in the morning say all right

what do people want to know oh shoot

they're all asking why didn't kamla tell

us earlier that's a good question I'll

ask that question so I think the media

actually could use a boost and you've

seen me do it a bunch of times you know

on on my live streams I'll say here's a

question that should be asked usually it

doesn't get asked but but you can see

that if you could help the media ask the

right

question I feel like that would drive us

a little bit closer to the

truth all right as uh Jeff Clark who's a

great follow on uh on X he was one of

the Trump related attorneys who got in

trouble and now he's just gone nuclear

with his opinions in a real productive

way because he has excellent opinions

and insights on stuff but he says here's

how you know we have a controlled media

so he says there's NBC CBS ABC CNN

Washington Post New York Times PBS I

could go on all of these

ostensibly uh ostensible competitors

emphasis on the word ostensible he says

for in a truly competitive market one or

more of them would have said Joe Biden

has

dementia if they were

competing and they all knew what the

truth was and their businesses to tell

you the truth

one of them would try to make money by

telling you the truth because that's

their business model isn't it it isn't

telling you accurate truthful things

that turn out to check out later that's

what makes you money if you're in the

news business well

clearly they do not operate like a news

business they operate operate like a

cartel and that's no longer in doubt it

is pure cartel Behavior there's nothing

like a competitor environment now that's

why Roger alses was so brilliant when he

said all we need to do is show a show

that's not part of the cartel and you're

going to have like half of the country

watching it because it's so obvious that

the cartel is you know not giving you

news um and sure enough that's why Fox

News is the number one entity it's it's

not because most people agree with it

it's because they even get more

Democrats watching Fox News than a lot

of the you know left leaning news

because it's the only place you can see

an alternative story you know true or

false it's the alternative

story all

right

um so Mark Levin sums it up on X he said

the same media that told us Biden didn't

have dementia now tell us Harris isn't

stupid that's you couldn't sum it up

better than that by the way I tell you

all the time that the difference between

humor and an accurate summary is very

small here's a perfect so lein is giving

you an accurate summary there's nothing

to lie about there's there's nothing to

question the media did tell us Biden

didn't have dementia and they are in

fact telling us that Harris isn't stupid

and we can clearly see that neither of

those are true so he's simply

summarizing the existing situation with

nothing added and it makes you laugh

you see what I mean an accurate

summary is what a joke is humor is an

accurate summary of reality and and uh

Mark Levin obviously knows that so I

would like to add one more thing to the

obvious

level

people it's not obvious that she's drunk

in

public I'm not the only one noticing

that are we going to just have a repeat

in four years where the where the Press

is going to say you know we s drinking

your lunch all the time we saw her

acting like she doesn't act when she's

not drunk in public yeah she was drunk

as hell am I supposed to not notice that

she acts exactly like a drunk person but

not all the time which is exactly the

tell for a drunk person if somebody if

she act like this all the time then I'd

say oh oh that's maybe just how she acts

because she probably wouldn't be drunk

all the time but you see those laughing

things and the the weird things she says

every now and then those are clearly

drunk do you agree now you could you

could say it's some other form of

inebriation but I'll just use drunk to

handle the other forms as well probably

alcohol my guess is alcohol it looks

like alcohol so how many of you would

agree because because to me it's

screamingly obvious that she's drunk in

public on a regular basis do you

disagree I'm looking at the comments

because I don't know if you

do do you agree that you know some of it

is just who she is but a lot of it is

just obviously drunk and they're just

not telling us you think you think the

Press doesn't know that she's drinking

your

lunch of course they know of course they

know they're doing it to you again and

um

much as I love Mark livin's

summary I think it I think he buried the

lead the lead is

drunk that's the

lead if you don't deal with that

question and deal with it seriously

you're going to have a drunk

president and that's a pretty big

contrast to somebody who has never had a

sip of alcohol running against you I

it's a big contrast now I don't think

that Trump can say she's drunk you maybe

you could say she looks drunk but that

would be a little too far you know

beyond what is a proven thing it's not

proven I just think it's

obvious right anyway I guess we'll keep

ignoring that um here's what I think I

think America is now experiencing a form

of massive Gelman Amnesia I talk about

this a lot because if you don't

understand what this is the whole world

is confusing so Gilman was the name of a

famous physicist you most you heard this

before who noticed that when he read a

story about physics his own expertise he

knew it was

but when he read the very next

story about anything else he just

assumed it was true and then one day

after seeing this pattern re reoccur

that the physics stories were always

wrong but he thought everything else was

right being the smart physicist that he

was he said wait a minute isn't it

slight more likely that all of the news

is wrong all the time and I only notice

it when it's my own area of

expertise and that's exactly what's

happening the news is pretty much fake

all the time when it's the big

geopolitical stuff it's not fake when it

says there's a hurricane right hurricane

is real it's not fake when it says

somebody died they died but it's fake

when they put this spin on it the

narrative that sort of stuff so here's

what's

happening um to the entire

country

so we have this situation where

Democrats now know completely with

certainty regular Democrat voters they

know with certainty that the entire

media lied to them about a critical

critical thing and they know it wasn't a

mistake that's important they know it

wasn't a mistake they know they were

lied to for years by their trusted media

will the Gilman approach kick in and

make all the Democrats think well that

was just that one

story because that what that's what G

Manisha would be it's like well okay I

guess I got that one thing wrong but

this other story is real will they or

will it cure them will it cure them like

like G man cured himself which is

noticing the pattern wait whenever I can

know for sure what the truth is such as

watching the debate then you can know

for sure what the truth was it doesn't

match what I was

told how often is that going to happen

how often am I going to

notice that I can see with my own eyes

that what they're telling me is not real

how many times do you notice that before

you realize that's the normal it's not

the exception that's everything all the

time if it's

important if it's important there's

somebody with money who's going to make

you lie about it might be your boss

might be your advertisers but if it's

important somebody with a lot of money

is going to force you to lie about it

that's the reality that we live

in and tomorrow they're going to wake up

and they're going to see their story

about 97% of scientists saying climate

change is real and they're going to

say that's probably true look at

all those people on the same

side Gilman amnesia

in in in uh the biggest possible

sense well let's see

um uh Molly Hemingway is pointing us at

Peter Baker who's the New York Times

chief White House correspondent and uh

Peter baker said

this he said uh one party has a

candidate who is really old and showing

it the other has a candidate who is a

convicted felon uh a Jud ated sexual

abuser a business fraudster and

self-described aspiring dictator for a

day and also really old one party wants

to replace its candidate the other does

not Molly

Hemingway had this comment about that

comment she said I wonder what the New

York Times chief White House

correspondent Peter Baker's personal

politics are there's simply no way you

can tell from his reporting or tweeting

oh wait it's all propaganda all the way

down is it well let's look at his claims

do you think he would make any claims

that are obviously a lie like just

obviously well let's see he said uh one

is a convicted

felon that's not true because until the

judge certifies it it's not a convicted

felon and given recent changes it's

unlikely or at least it's a coin flip

whether will ever happen he's not a

convicted felon and you're the chief and

but the

uh Chief way House correspondent for the

paper of record just said he

was and yet it's factually easily

determined to be not true you don't have

to be a news person or a scientist just

Google it is is he technically a felon

or does something else have to happen

before he would be you can find out for

yourself it's just not true how about

he's an educated sexual abuser huh

adjudicated why why would you say he's

an adjudicated sexual abuser why

wouldn't you say sexual abuser why

because the case was a Civil Trial not a

not a criminal and the claimant is not

credible in my opinion and lots of other

people's opinions so we don't actually

know if he sexually abused anybody and

honestly it sounds pretty unlikely to me

the the specific claim so he has to say

it's adjudicated which means that a was

it a New York

jury found him guilty so in other words

people who don't like Trump in the

unfriendliest Trump Place decided it was

slightly more true that this woman was

telling the truth and therefore he had

to pay some money so the New York Times

instead of saying it's a it's a he said

she said

situation they say he's a adjudicated

sexual abuser because if you don't know

the story you'd say oh I guess the

evidence showed in a criminal case that

he's a criminal abuser nope nope that's

a claim with a very low level of

credibility doesn't mean it's fake but

if you're a journalist and you act like

it's

credible that's not true and remember

credible doesn't mean true or not true

it just means on the surface is this

something you would

trust they say he's a business

fraudster was that because of the belief

that he exaggerated his assets exactly

the way everybody does in that business

and the bank didn't care and they knew

it was an exaggeration because everybody

exaggerates so they checked themselves

as they always do so there was no fraud

whatsoever and they'd be happy to work

with him or was he talking about Trump

University

which was definitely a sketchy

situation but where's the reporting on

how much Trump knew do you think Trump

was getting into the details of trump

University do you think he looked at the

documents and talked to the people who

took the course I doubt it the only

thing we know for sure is that he owned

something that went

bad he didn't manage

it he he wasn't in charge that was

somebody he worked with so yes he he has

to take the for getting into business

with somebody who didn't do a good job

he has about 400

businesses some of them go

bad but you wouldn't see that context

and uh the uh chief White House

correspondent for the New York Times

says that he's a self-described aspiring

dictator for a

day you don't think that you have some

responsibility to your readers to say

that the self-described aspiring

dictator for a day was not at all

serious and no serious person could

think it was serious but here it is in

the New York Times uh is I mean it's

coming from a New York Times

person that's the sort of thing that

people who read the New York Times think

is true imagine just imagine if the New

York Times were your main source of news

just imagine how how confused you'd be

about everything

anyway

um so over in Great Britain uh I think

the labor party had a big win in their

election that's still correct right I

saw the early reporting last night so

the labor party got the big

win

and I said to myself oh so you mean that

Great Britain actually voted to destroy

itself cuz I couldn't understand how the

labor party that I thought was left

leaning would be an upgrade to the

problems that are destroying their

country to me it looked like it would

accelerate the destruction of the

country I don't know because I don't

follow politics at all in in Great

Britain so I don't really know what's

going on so I you know posted did Great

Britain just vote on July 4th ironically

to destroy their

country I think he had a couple of

million views cuz people were weighing

in and some people who live there were

trying to explain to me how this

works I don't understand it but

apparently the conservative

party was not doing the job so they

voted in the party that has the opposite

opinions of what they

want because they think that will

somehow destroy

it and then everything will be destroyed

and then they'd have some chance of

building back something that

works now that sounds bad crazy to

me or poorly explained so that maybe the

problems on my

end but is something like that happening

is there some kind of weird thing where

Britain is trying to destroy their own

system the voters are because it's all

broken is that a real thing that's

happening they're they're literally

trying to vote for the wrong team to

destroy the system

I I I don't know don't don't believe

anything I said about this because none

of it makes sense to me I guess Nigel

frage got a

seat yeah now it does have something to

do with you know who gets to team up

with

who I'm lost I mean I have no idea what

they're doing over there but if somebody

can explain it to me in simple terms i'

love

it rasmuson says that uh 48% of democrat

voters um or at least somewhat agree

that Biden should step aside so almost

half of Democrats think he should step

aside and um of course you know 62% of

Republicans 62% of

Republicans if you have to if you ever

wondered do republ Republicans lie to

pollsters you don't have to wonder

anymore you really think that 38% of

Republicans think that Biden is capable

of doing the

job no no they lied because they want to

keep him in because he's easy to beat

they they want the polls to say oh yeah

oh yeah you should probably keep him in

he looks pretty I don't see a problem

what problem cognitive decline I don't

even know what you're talking about I

don't see a cognitive decline keep him

in there keep him in there he's going to

he's the only one who ever beat Trump so

he's really your best bet he's the only

one who ever beat Trump that makes

perfect sense it's logical it's

logical you know just because he doesn't

have a brain anymore doesn't mean he

can't beat Trump again be

logical all right uh so I I love the

fact that Republicans are so devious

they they just freaking lied to

pollsters whenever it's a Strategic

Benefit they just lie which to me is

funny all right here's a test how many

people ped think Biden won the

debate how many people pulled think

Biden won the

debate you know oh you know you know

22% yeah

22% boy I'd hate to meet that

22% anyway so there's

a other polling New York Times poll that

says that Trump got a big bump uh from

men so uh likely male

voters

um at least the Young men especially the

young men with no College uh big

increase moving toward uh almost doubled

moving toward Trump now who's the first

person in the public domain who told you

that Democrats are the party of women

and that there would be a mass Exodus of

men away from

it I think it was me I think I'm the

first person to tell you and I started

saying it in maybe 2016

the the Hillary Clinton effect you know

I it looked to me Permanent and to me it

looked like it would just drive men away

until it was nothing but women and and

weak men which is basically what's

happening so here's my take I I I agree

with James Carville the party of preachy

women that's what he says preachy women

James Carville says is driving Menor

Trump and record numbers but I think

that what's happening is that uh

politics and L logic have failed at

every

level in a normal world you make

decisions by politics and argument and

logic in a perfect world but that that

world doesn't exist we've seen that

politics has completely failed because

the entire media was lying to us about

the most basic thing does his brain work

if the media is lying to you about the

most basic things and you depend on a

well-informed voters to make the system

work you can conclude that politics is

completely broken and I don't see a

quick fix so if politics is completely

broken you know the part where you get

information and make good

decisions and logic and reason have been

thrown out the door because we're just

being gaslighted about what we see isn't

real what do you do the if you were

going to see that on paper like if

somebody described that to you and you

were just an alien trying to decide what

would happen next you'd probably say if

you knew what humans are that we would

revert to a biological truth so if you

take away our let's say our uh higher

level thinking all right we're going to

use some logic we're going to do a

little AB testing if you take that all

away you get down to just biological

urge and that's where we are and that's

the basis for my prediction that once

politics is completely debunked as it is

now that people would act

biologically and men have a biological

instinct to seek what I call the

Fortress

personality that's Trump he's like a

fortress as a

personality meaning that he's the

strongest male player in a situation

that looks

perilous the strongest male player in a

situ sitation that looks perilous will

be a magnet for strong

men CU strong men will sense the

fight you can feel it there's a fight

coming might be physical hope it isn't

but you can feel the fight and when you

feel the fight you put down your video

games you put down your

toys and you find the strongest leader

CU it's time to

fight men are leaving the Democrat Party

because they need a champion and there's

only one there's only one strong male

who says here are our problems I'm going

to go like hell at them like I'm going

to attack the Border problem I'm going

to solve your war with

Ukraine I'm going to save you

economically and biologically men can't

resist that we we are pack animals and

we like leaders and by the way if there

is no leader one of us will step up we

like it when there's a better leader

than us most of the time but if there is

none we step up we'll do it right it's

just

biological so women are in their own

world they've got their own concerns I

can't say that I understand them

completely I can see why they're you

know afraid of trump if they've listened

to their own news I mean if they believe

their own news you can see why women

would be afraid of trump right but the

problem is they believe their own news

now that the news is completely debunked

in my opinion I think young men and non-

colge educated men that and the numbers

are backing it up are just going to

start flocking to what is real and what

is strong and what could potentially

save us from complete destruction I

don't know that women have the same

Instinct I don't know I don't think so I

think women are built for empathy and

you know doing the things that women are

uniquely qualified to do and I think men

are built to fight we're bu we're built

to defend we're built we're built to

kill stuff when it needs to be killed so

you're seeing uh a complete abandonment

of that higher level thinking among

young men and they're just moving toward

power just moving toward power you don't

have to be afraid of

it because it's a it's a good Force

it's a force against it's a

force against evil it's a force against

everything

stupid and it's

happening and I'm going to go further

into the provocative and I don't think

America can recover until

men stop giving a about the

opinions of bad crazy

women you should definitely care about

the opinions of women who were not crazy

there are a lot of Republican women for

example perfectly normal people you

should listen to them they're on your

side they're siding with the men so of

course you should listen to them so it's

not about women it's about bad

crazy women now of course because we

live in a terrible terrible world if I'm

quoted on this it will be quoted as I'm

talking bad about women right

because the the idiots the

idiots will say ah he hates all women

don't listen to that guy but I think you

know how this is played now right you

can't tell the truth without getting

cancelled but too bad you

already canceled me I can tell the truth

the problem in the United States is bat

crazy women and men who

won't tell them they're bat

crazy Rachel M you're crazy

you're bat crazy I don't want to

listen to you Joy Reed you're

crazy you're Bas you crazy I don't want

to listen to you Molly Hemingway you're

awesome one of the smartest people I

know if you got something that sounds

like a good idea I'm listening to you

listening to you big time absolutely

Dana Pino you got some good ideas I

going listen to you totally listen to

you it's not about women it's about

batshit crazy

women and if you can't make that

distinction and you can't say it out

loud you're the whole country's

you got to call out the batshit

crazy women now I know what you're going

to say you're going to say but but but

what about the men because there are

lots of democrat men not really not

really all all these smart Democrat men

have already capitulated they've already

said we don't have a

candidate right it's only the the weak

feminine men who are still siding with

the bashit crazy people CU they're too

weak they they don't have break free and

it will take the young men who don't

give a to break free until the

Republican party is just so dominant

that they can get what they want so

Basia crazy women you're giving all of

your power away you just don't know it

uh because you've jumped the shark

everybody can see it now it's completely

transparent the entire media landscape

and the Democrats were all lying to you

about everything and it's all out there

now uh but here's the thing we should

all try to avoid and I'm going to try to

avoid this in my ongoing conversations

with Michael Ian Black who I'm finding

amazingly Brave and flexible in his

thinking if you don't agree with that

I'll make you agree well I'll work on

you there there's something amazingly

productive happening um about my

conversation with him both public and

private uh he's you know very firmly in

the Democrat preference camp but not

crazy not stupid not crazy and not lying

none of those things he actually has

just been getting different news in the

yor and as he shares his news with me

and I find out holy I've been lied

to um these revisions of the employment

numbers they go both ways I didn't know

that I thought they almost always went

in one way he corrected me now as long

as I'm willing to be corrected and do it

publicly you know take my take my shame

he's he did it too you saw during

actually he led he led this he was more

of the leader so during the debate when

the fine people hoax came up he debunked

it because I provided and you had

provided some new information that he

just hadn't seen and with the new

information he modified his opinion

didn't change his preference for who was

president but he understood that the

major hoax was a hoax and he called it

out publicly to his credit so somebody

asked me earlier why do I keep saying

he's Brave you couldn't do

that try try publicly saying the

something that you'd believe for a long

time was completely wrong that's not

easy that's not easy do you know how

much mocking he got for for saying I

just figured that out well it should be

the same amount you should give me for

just figuring out that those uh those

employment numbers can go both ways in

the

adjustments yeah we we deserve you're a

little bit of mocking but we can take it

apparently apparently we're both able to

take it so then it could be productive

because we can take the take the

embarrassment so uh props to uh Michael

but here's something that he and I both

need to be better at which is

uh assuming that the worst 5% on each

side represent the rest of

them all right the the worst 5% of

Republicans and conservatives are

terrible people the worst 5% of

Democrats are terrible

people can we agree on

that in fact I see the worst 5% of both

sides as basically the same people like

the the words are a little different but

they're the same

people right they're not they're not the

people you should be listening to

whether it's left or right but we both

he and I both have a little bit too much

habit of feeling the generalization from

the worst 5% so I'm going to try to

break that um might be hard that ladies

and gentlemen is all I wanted to tell

you about the news today what a day tons

of stuff happening um ran really long

and I apologize for that but it was

worth it it was so good and uh people on

locals I'm going to talk to you

privately for just a minute but the rest

of you on Rumble and uh YouTube and X
