Who would like to see a picture of some cats? You would. While you're waiting for everybody to get in here, let's see if I can make that happen. Something just happened. Picture of a cat, huh? I know I have it here. There we go. There are two cats that watch my show every day. Whoops, I seem to have lost my signal. There I am. Here's a picture of two cats that watch my show every day. Every morning I get a picture of these two cats as they get ready to watch the show with their owner, who shall remain anonymous.

All right, let me see if I can fix my comments here. Let's try one more time and then we'll have a show. Today's show is going to be amazing. I don't always say that, but today for sure you're going to love it.

Well, good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and if you've showed up here you're probably here at the best time that will ever happen to anybody ever. If you'd like to take it up to levels that, well, you can't even understand with your tiny human smooth brains, all you need is a cup or mug or glass or tankard or stein or a canteen or jug or any vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

You know, Joe Biden has given me an idea for a strategy for life. I'm going to start looking stiff now so that later when I'm halfway gone people will say, "No, no, he's always been like that." So if you don't mind, I'd like to do my show like this. Both too early. Too soon. Too soon.

Well, I have a reframe for you today. I learned that there are people who think that the amount of time it takes you to do something is based on how long it takes you to do the thing. How many of you think that if I said to you, you need to do this thing, would you say to yourself, well that's going to take one hour or whatever you estimate, and then you would say to yourself, I guess I need one hour to do this? How many think like that?

Now some of you are saying, well isn't that the normal way you think? You think in terms of how long something would take and then you allocate that amount of time, right? Well, years ago I learned a magic secret. The length of time it takes to do any task is the amount of time you had to allocate to it. I learned that when I was doing comics, when I had a full-time job, and I would get up in the morning and I'd have to draw a comic every day or else get behind schedule. So I had an hour and a half to draw a comic. From writing to drawing the first draft, sometimes almost the entire time would be gone. I'd have ten minutes left and I'd have nothing. And then I would write the entire comic in ten minutes. So I'd give myself an hour and a half but I could write it in ten minutes if I had to.

And then I realized that that was generalizable to just about everything. No matter what you think you should take, if you don't have that much time you'll just figure it out. And it made me wonder if people who are late all the time think that things just take as much time as they take. And I thought, if I'd never learned that you can make any schedule work pretty much, you know, there are physical constraints. You know that you can't have a baby in one month, right? That example. But in terms of you organizing your own time, your schedule, just your normal life, you can kind of make anything fit.

I also noticed that when I was the busiest in my career I could add the most to it, which is completely counterintuitive. But the reason I could do that is that when I was super busy I would make sure that any new thing I added would be in the smallest slice of time. And then I would just look at that tiny little slice of time and I'd say, how in the world am I going to get two hours worth of work into that ten minutes? And then I would just do it. And every time I did it I'd think, huh, I was sure that would take two hours.

So as a good general mindset reframe, tell yourself that you can make any task fit any time frame. Now that's not entirely true. You cannot make every task fit every time frame. It's not true. It's a reframe. A reframe doesn't have to be technically true. It just has to be a better mindset than whatever you were in. And the worst mindset you could have is that things are going to take as long as they're going to take. Don't think that way. Think that you can make anything work in any amount of time and then just make it happen. You'll be right ninety-nine percent of the time.

Well, there's a new breakthrough in science. Maybe Novo Nutrients. It's a company that can turn CO2 into protein. So they do a chemical reaction and they turn it into some kind of protein which, with a little more work, they might figure out how to make it a food source. So is this perfect or what? You know, science sometimes will come up with solutions that are impractical. Well, technically it works but it's impractical. But suppose, because food prices are so high thanks to inflation, and we're the fattest country in the world, America, I don't know if that's true but let's say it is, if they find a way that we can eat our way out of climate change, they have figured out the smartest solution. Well, they're not going to drive less, but could we make them eat more? I think we could. We'll never get them to drive less. We could sure as hell get them to eat more. So maybe if this works you'll eat your way to climate happiness. And you can eat some bugs too, I hear.

Now don't worry about this, and I know what you're going to say. I know what you're going to say. But Scott, the CO2 is already plant food. It makes the plants grow. We eat the plants. We don't need this. No, I hear you. And you're also going to say, Scott, we have a solution for CO2. It's called trees. Have you heard of them? They're called trees. That's for the NPCs. I do a separate show for the NPCs who just have to say the obvious things. So that's for them.

All right, here's a little lesson on how to know what's true and what's not true. Now like most of these lessons on knowing what's true and what's not true, they're not one hundred percent. They're just directionally, statistically likely to help you out. Let me give you an example. I call this one the dog not barking. And you've heard this one before, but the more examples you hear the more you can recognize it. So the dog not barking is the thing that should be happening if your current understanding of the world is correct. There should be something happening that's not happening. And if it's not happening you should say, huh, maybe my worldview is incorrect, because if it were correct there's definitely a thing that would be happening.

I'll give you two examples. You would agree, I think, that there is a fairly widespread doubt in the United States about election security. We know that when Trump won in 2016 the Democrat leaders like Hillary Clinton said it's rigged or something's rigged. They didn't say the vote was rigged. They thought Russia rigged it somehow. But maybe they thought Russia rigged the vote. I don't know. Whatever they thought, they weren't so sure the election gave us the right result. And then of course Trump famously thought he got the wrong result when he lost. And probably, I don't know, forty percent of the public thinks that the elections are completely artificial and that somebody decides who the president is and then there's just some theater called an election. So that's pretty widespread doubt about the election.

Now would you agree with the premise that there is widespread doubt about the integrity of the election? I'll say widespread, thirty to forty percent of the public. Would that be fair? Now what would you expect if the government knew that the integrity of elections is just fundamentally important to the country, just baseline fundamental necessity that we have to trust the elections? What would you expect? What dog would be barking? Well I'll tell you the dog you would expect would be the government would say, whoa, that's a lot of people not trusting our elections. That's an existential threat. So what we'll do is we'll educate the public on how the election systems can be audited easily and how we know that they're secure. How hard would that be? It'd be one video, maybe one document, and it would just describe, oh you public, the thing you don't know is that our elections are way more secure than you think. And here's how we always know that your vote got to the final destination. And here's how we can tell if there's any irregularity. And here's how we can easily audit if anybody has that question. Therefore by the design of the system you can see that you should trust the election. Isn't that the most obvious thing?

You'd see if the government knows that thirty or forty percent of the public roughly doesn't trust the process and it wouldn't be hard to tell them why it works. You just say here's the process. You can see how perfect it is. See how well designed it is. There's no room for any error here. But we don't see that, do we? We don't see that. Wouldn't that be easy to produce? Somebody who understood the election system well enough to know it was secure. If it were me for example, let's say I were the expert, I could write that up in I don't know two hours and it would change the whole country because people would look at my document. They say, oh well you know I didn't know this. I didn't know that they could so easily audit and catch mistakes. So I guess it's secure. Where's that? Where is it? Two hours of work for one person to just describe how the election is secure. Never seen it, have you?

Don't you think that given the size of the problem that people don't trust the elections, given the size of the problem it may have caused something like a protest, insurrection according to the Democrats, the size of that problem, nobody would write a two-page document explaining why you don't have to worry about the results? That's pretty obviously missing, would you say? Did I go too far? Has anybody ever seen any describe to you why it is in fact a secure election? No, you'll never see that. You know why? Because it's obviously not secure. I don't think it could be more obvious. That's the most obvious thing in the world right now is if you could secure it and if you could know, the government would have told you how you can secure it and how you can know it's secure. And they don't. It's pretty glaringly obvious.

All right, here's another one. If you thought that climate change was going to destroy the world and you really thought that the climate models were telling you something useful, and you knew that a huge portion of the world, more conservatives than that, don't believe climate change is even real, what would you do if you were the government and you are absolutely sure that it's the biggest problem in the country, in the world really, and people didn't believe it so they weren't maybe acting right? Well I think your news sources would be encouraged to have experts with both views on. And then the critic would say I'm not so sure about this climate change. Then the expert would say well here's why you should be. And then the critic would say well I'm not so sure you can measure accurately. And then the expert would say oh you know I can see why you'd say that but here's the evidence that we can measure accurately. Wouldn't you expect that if the argument in favor of climate change is so rock solid and thirty percent of the country doesn't believe it, would you deal with it by saying well you guys are idiots, ninety-seven percent of the scientists are on the same side? Is that the best you could do?

If the whole world is going to be destroyed and all it would require to fix it, in other words getting all the people on the same page, would be just showing both sides, because if you showed both sides and one side is just overwhelmingly obviously true, wouldn't that be enough? Just show both arguments. You can see that one of them is so much better. But where is it? The most obvious thing you'd expect if it's true that climate change is an existential risk, you would see that all over the place. Every single time you turned on the news they'd say look, you're not getting it yet. We really got to educate you. Here's the expert. Ask them anything you want, right? The most obvious thing you'd have.

And let's go even more obvious. Since the crisis is really predicated on the reliability of the models, don't you think that given the models, climate models have now been running for decades, wouldn't they tell you how accurate the predictions were? Wouldn't they show you, look this predicted that New York City would be underwater by, okay that one didn't work out, but the one thing we can tell you is that by now according to all of our models and predictions, you have predictions on top of models, but the prediction on top of the model is the polar bears are completely, go okay they're coming back, okay that's that one didn't work out. But one thing I can tell you is that the coral reefs, the Great Barrier Reef is, um, okay it's really coming back in the last three years. Wouldn't you see the argument that the predictions have been right so far, thus giving you confidence that their next prediction would be right? You don't see that.

When was the last time you saw a news show that said there have been eight predictions about you know everything from sea level to hurricanes to whatever. How we doing? You don't see it because it won't check out, obviously. So just learn that dog not barking. If they're not making the argument you know they would make if they believe their own argument, you know they would be making the argument. Everybody likes to be right. Everybody who has a strong argument wants to crush the people with their dumb little stupid argument. So why aren't the people with the good arguments crushing the people with the bad ones? Kind of missing, isn't it?

All right, speaking of ridiculousness, some executives from the AI company Humane, which I think that company is not doing so well with their new device, but two of them are leaving and they're going to found their own fact-checking startup. Really? I feel so bad for them. They're going to waste their time. So there's two people who think that they can start a fact-checking startup, which suggests that those two people have some way to figure out what's true. Do you think they do? If they did they'd be the first people in the world. No. Do they really think it's going to be like an objective fact check or are they just working for one side and it's going to be another totally fake fact-check thing? What do you think? But it's ridiculous to imagine that they know what's true. We know that's not the case. It's going to be more like, okay assume climate change is real and then anybody who fact-checks against it must be lying.

It's going to be, now there's some indication they're going to use AI as some part of it, but I think they're not using AI as the final word. It'll just be a tool within their system. But how in the world are they going to decide what's true? I don't know how they're going to do it that nobody else could do it. So it's a bit of ridiculousness. Every time you think you can fix it by telling people the truth you don't really understand what's going on. Telling people what's real, they wouldn't recognize it and wouldn't believe it if they saw it. And neither would you. So how are you the source of what's real?

Well there's a new device, an implantable LED device that uses some kind of light treatment on deep-seated cancers. So the idea is they put this little LED right into your body and it would be where there would also be a light-activated drug. So the light, the little LED that would be inserted into your body would light up the drug that's let's say near the cancer. And between the light, what would you call such a thing? What would be another word for that? Let's see if you had something toxic in your body, in this case the cancer, and you wanted to put some kind of light in there to get rid of it, what would that be called? Well if you're a Democrat and you're an idiot you would call it injecting bleach into your arm.

Do you know why you would call it that? Because that's what they did call it when President Trump talked about the technology which did exist and which he did know about, which is the UV light technology that was being planned in which they would use some kind of catheter to put an LED light that would be UV light in this case down your trachea and potentially into your lung and that would radiate your lungs. And they were testing it. It didn't work out by the way. Didn't work. But the idea was that they would disinfect your lungs with light. And the idiots called, Democrats to a person, I don't think a single one got this right, said oh you mean drinking disinfectants, which turned into oh you mean drinking bleach, which turned into Joe Biden saying injecting bleach into your arm. That never gets fact-checked. Oh actually it did get fact-checked. Daniel Dale did fact-check that but he also, Daniel Dale, incorrectly fact-checked that the president was wrong and unclear.

Here's what really happened. The two experts on the stage, Birx and whoever it was, were less aware of that technology than Trump was. So when Trump brought it up and mentioned light, he very specifically mentioned light before the comments and then light after the comments to make sure that you knew he was talking about light. And the two experts, Dr. Birx in particular, confirmed that he was talking crazy. No, he knew more than you did. He knew more than you did about that topic. He was trying to show off and it didn't work out at all because the experts knew less than he did. So he was trying to show the world that he was up there with some experts and he could engage with them on a topic that the public wasn't so aware of. It would make him look like he knew what he was talking about. But instead the idiot experts decided to misinterpret him as some kind of drinking disinfectant. And then the world went with that one, one of the biggest hoaxes in American history. And the entire Democrat world thinks it was real and it's become part of Biden's campaign. No it's not injecting bleach, you idiots.

All right, scientists have developed an invisible mask. It's kind of a hat that blows air down from the hat and they say it will block those viruses coming in. Oh great. The last thing I want is a new technology to keep my body away from the real world. I do not want a mask hat. No mask hats. No mask hats.

Well another news. Elon Musk won. He was fighting a five hundred million dollar severance suit over the mass layoffs on the old Twitter, to which I said to myself how could they possibly win that? What kind of job did the Twitter people think they had? Did Twitter think that their jobs were like the magic kind where you don't get fired just for any reason whatsoever? I've never held a job where I couldn't get fired for any reason they wanted. So Musk comes in, fires eighty percent of them for any reason he wanted, which in this case was making money, and it worked. I have a feeling that maybe they started the lawsuit before it was obvious it was one of the greatest management moves of all time because it worked and X is heading toward cash profitability this year, at least cash positive. Now that's embarrassing that they even brought that suit. I mean to even bring that suit makes it sound like you don't know how anything works, like you've never had any experience in the real world. How did all these people go to work in a capitalist world? They got a job and a paycheck and somehow they didn't think that the boss could fire them for any reason he wanted. I don't know.

Elon Musk talking about mail-in ballots said this. When combined with mail-in ballots, meaning the election, the system is quote designed to make it impossible to prove fraud. He says mail-in and drop box ballots should not be allowed as cameras on the in-person voting stations could at least prevent large-scale fraud by counting how many people showed up versus ballots cast. That's a pretty good test. How many people walked in, you could just count them and then you can count the votes and you see if there's more votes than there are people. But you can't do that if it's just you know bags of votes that show up.

Now here's what I liked about this. I like that he framed it as design. It's designed to not work. It's not accidentally not working. Meaning you can't tell if you got the result you wanted. You could definitely tell if you got the right result if you didn't do this. So why would you introduce into the design the one thing that would make the election the least credible and open it up for the most fraud unless your intention was fraud? Don't you think it's obvious that the intention is fraud? Because the arguments are ridiculous that you know you're going to get the wrong answer in the election if you do it all in one day with paper ballots even though that works everywhere. Everywhere they do it, it works. But we would be the only country where it wouldn't work. And it's all this about Black people can't get driver's licenses. I mean it's basically pure racism.

And here's the more common sense thing to say. If voting in person is enough to keep you from voting, given that you could probably get off work and you could probably do it after work or even before work, given that almost everybody in the world can figure it out, do you want any part of your democratic process to be determined by people who wouldn't be able to vote in person? Now I get it, NPCs. You're supposed to rush in. NPCs, please, this is your time to shine. I expect the NPCs to come in and say but Scott, but Scott, what about my grandmother who can't make it? Your grandmother can vote by mail. But Scott, but Scott, what about the people in the military who are overseas? Fine, the military can vote by mail. You're not arguing the other point. The only thing is you don't want to do widespread uncontrolled mail-in ballots. And if you design that into the system we must assume there is no other purpose than fraud. It's designed fraud. And Musk is calling it out for exactly what it is.

Now does that mean that I can prove that the election will have fraud? No. But I can definitely prove that they intend it. You can look at the design. The design is a clear, clear intention of cheating because there's no other reason to do it. Why would you design a system worse when it takes more money, you know, more time and effort to make it worse? You wouldn't. There's only one reason.

All right, what happens if this year, or yeah if this election, what happens if there's another one of those late night vote count stops for mysterious reasons followed by Trump who way ahead being blazed past by mail-in votes that are counted last for Biden? What do you think is going to happen then? Violence? Do you think violence is going to happen? I'm more worried that it wouldn't. Now I don't promote violence. I don't want to see any violence. But it is nonetheless a feature of the world that violence is the thing that keeps people from doing bad things. Violence is part of the police and military because you need sometimes violence to keep people from doing the wrong thing. So violence is not something you want to get rid of. You just need to make sure it's in the right place within a legal structure, right? So don't break any laws and don't be violent. However, if the public is willing to never be violent then you're giving away your democracy.

So I think I can say all these things at the same time. Don't be violent. Don't be violent. But if the public gives away their option to be violent then they also give away the democracy for sure. Because the risk of violence is the only thing that keeps the country free. There's no other check and balance because all the other systems could so easily be corrupted right in front of you that if there were no counterforce to it, it would just happen. I would argue it's already happened. But I don't think that they can get away with that again because even if you imagine there was a reason for it, which is more Biden voters vote by mail, that was their excuse, it's pretty clear that the entire right-leaning part of the country isn't going to buy it. They're just not going to buy it.

So unless somebody's standing there to watch those new ballots coming in we're going to have a problem. Here would be the ultimate problem, which I do expect to happen. This is a prediction. I believe that late at night the observers who are Republican will be kicked out. And I believe that after the observers are kicked out, as they were before by the way, there's precedent for this, they will simply make an argument that the observers are being disruptive. That's all they have to do. Just say oh you're stopping us from doing our job. You're not observers. You're stopping us from doing our job. So security is going to have to show you out because we can't not have a result. We have to get a result. So all these observers who keep complaining that the ballots don't look real to them, security is going to have to take them out.

And then you say to yourself but Scott, you know once they've seen the bad stuff they can just tell the courts. They can make a case out of it and the courts will look at these ballots and if they're fake well then they change it. No that won't happen. The system is designed so that can't happen. Even if the witnesses see it with their own eyes there can be no action. Do you know why? Because we know. Do you know what happened when observers said we saw a bunch of ballots that are fake and they're in that room over there? They went to the court and they said hey can you open that locked room because we've got credible information that if you do we'll find out the entire election was rigged. Do you know what happened? The judge ruled that they had to be opened. Well okay so then it was opened, right? No, no. The judge ruled it had to be opened and then nobody opened it. And people complained and nothing happened. It remained closed. And now the lawyers are saying we'd like permission to destroy the things in the room that they wouldn't open that was ordered to be opened. Why would they order it to be destroyed as opposed to just opening it and saying well you thought that these were fake but as you can see they're perfectly fine. Take a look yourself. Why wouldn't they do that? There's only one reason.

And they're going to do it again because they got away with it and there is no counter to it. They can just throw out the observers under any excuse, do whatever cheating they want, and then just stall until it's too late to reverse it. And then the court will say well it's too late. Or the court will say you don't have standing. Or the court will say you know who was injured by it? Or the court will say can you prove that it would change the election? No I can't prove it because I don't know what's behind the closed door that they won't open. So you see that the system, because it's slow and the courts are really biased toward making sure there's a result, there is no mechanism. Even if you see it with your own eyes we know this for sure. Even if the observers see it with their own eyes, multiple observers, we have no system to change it, correct it or reverse it. We know that for sure. And the Democrats don't know that. They think that the court is functioning and you know doing everything it does. Of course it isn't. Not even close.

So that's coming. It's hard for me to believe there will be a result from this election. So I'm going to be the contrarian and say under the current design I don't see that we could have an election that the country accepts. Do you? Under the current design? Because unfortunately we learn too much about how they get away with stuff but we don't have any counter to it. Which means we're just going to watch it happen in all likelihood. We're just going to watch it happen and not be able to do a thing.

Now what happens when that happens? Well I'll tell you what won't happen. We'll have a president that everybody agrees got elected. So I'm not even sure if we could get an election certified. I suspect that no matter what the vote count is it won't get certified. That's what I think. Now it won't require anybody attacking the Capitol. I think the politicians themselves will look at it and say you know what, you have a point. We actually don't know if we had an election. I think that's what's going to happen. I think the politicians who have to certify it in Congress will look at it and they will say honestly we don't even know if we had one. We don't even know if we had an election. That's what's going to happen.

All right, you know what you don't hear about too much now that Biden won't leave office and one hundred percent of Democrats are quite sure that if he were to change his mind and leave office the Democrats would be in much better shape to fight against Hitler and save the world from climate change and save Ukraine. All those things they say are deeply, deeply important. But you know what you don't hear anymore? Biden is fighting for you and Trump is only in it for himself. That used to be one of their biggest themes. You know why you can't say that? Because Trump is just running for president in a democracy with a list of things he'd like to do to improve the country. Joe Biden is the entire country, double the Democrats. So they're not going to get their way for whatever is good for Joe Biden and his family.

Now does anybody doubt that? Is there any Democrat who says yeah you know what, Joe is doing what's best for the country by staying in the race? No, no they might say it because you know they don't have a choice or something but there's no Democrat who thinks that Joe Biden is working for the country now. So one of the main, you know their three-legged stool was he's going to be a dictator, he'll take your democracy, you'll steal your democracy, and he's only in it for himself, right? The only in it for himself thing is gone because nobody has ever shown more selfishness than narcissism in office than Biden is showing right now. Probably more mental decline than those things. But you cannot argue that Biden's the one who's in it for the country. That argument is gone. Watch, you won't hear it.

And by the way that's another dog not barking, right? Did you notice that they stopped saying it? If you didn't notice that they just went cold on one of the three major complaints about Trump you should have noticed. Look for the dog not barking. It's telling you way more than the dog that's barking.

All right, so I guess the New York Times didn't like it when Biden said it was the elite Democratic critics who want him to step down. So they're doubling down and wrote another editorial saying Biden should step down and be replaced with some chosen candidates that would be better. Now let me see if you recognize the system. What would the system be called or the country that does it in which there is a democracy, there's definitely a vote and the vote is even fair. The vote is completely fair as far as you know. There's no cheating. But the candidates that you get to pick are selected by let's say one or just a handful of the elites. So you don't get to vote for anybody you want. You get to vote for one of let's say five people that were handpicked by some higher authority. What kind of system would that be? Would you call that a democracy with a republic kind of a structure? Would you call that the American system? Who does it remind you of? The correct answer is Iran. That's exactly Iran's system.

So the Ayatollah, presumably with consulting of the other top mullah people, the Ayatollah says these five people can run for president. We will have a totally fair election. Nobody complains. I've never heard anybody in Iran complain that the election was rigged. Maybe they do. I just don't hear about it. But their intention, I believe their actual legitimate intention, is to run a fair election because any of the five people have already been vetted to be okay with the Ayatollah.

Now what is it the Democrats want to do? They want to get their elites, Obama, Bill Clinton, few other people like that. They want them to quickly put together a list of five candidates to do a little blitz kind of a primary. That's Iran. That's the Iranian system.

Now how would you like to be Trump and you're running against the Iranian government system? Trump won his place fair and square. Trump destroyed sixteen challengers the first time and however many challengers there were this time. It's Trump anyway. So I heard the best argument yet for just somebody on X who wanted to take a shot at the best argument that Trump will become a dictator in his second term. But he didn't become one in his first because Republicans like to say why are you so afraid he's going to become Hitler when you saw an entire term and he didn't become Hitler. And here was the best argument. All right I'm not saying I agree with it. This is the best argument. That in his first term he didn't have the option of stacking all the government entities with his own people. So he had a lot of people who were kind of frankly anti-Trump in his own administration. So if he tried to take any kind of dictator power there were just so many people in his own administration who wouldn't be up for it that it wasn't really possible. But he's had time since his first administration to consolidate power. So all the Republicans are under his control or at least the ones in key departments and stuff. You know the Attorney General will be, the Supreme Court are his nominations, etc. And that by consolidating power which he's done over time his second term would allow him unprecedented power to become this dictator that they fear.

What do you think of that? By the way that's the first time I've heard that argument and I have to say that at least it has some bones on it. You know at least it's not just some you just made up by sitting in a room and imagining things. I mean there is a reality. I would concur with the assumptions. The assumptions that he's consolidated support and it will probably show up in this administration. That seems fair. But here's the part that's missing. Please describe to me, and you saw this with January 6 where people said can you describe to me how that protest could have turned into taking over a country? What was the mechanism? Was the person with the nuclear football going to say whoa looks like we got new leaders, here's the football? Like describe it in some way that doesn't sound crazy. You can't. There is no path that a bunch of protesters in one building takes over a country. It's absurd.

Now let's do the same thing with Trump. Imagine Trump decided to do some dictator stuff. Do you really think the government's going to be okay with that? See it could be the things that maybe Democrats think are dictator, Republicans would think would be normal Republican policies. So there's some of that. But under what situation could Trump remain in power for the rest of his life and get away with that? The Democrats have never met a Republican I think. Maybe never met one because there's no Republican who's okay with a Republican dictator. None. The whole Republican situation is the Constitution. The fealty is always to the Constitution. And why do they like Trump? Because he's compatible with the Constitution. The moment he became not compatible with the Constitution he would lose one hundred percent of support. He would lose Don Jr. He would lose Ivanka. Not and I don't mean that as hyperbole. He would literally lose his own family support. There is no situation in which he can just say I'm eighty-one years old I think I'll be the dictator. Nobody's going to say yes to that. Nobody in the military. Nobody in his administration. His own chief of staff would shoot him, whoever it is, right? Like it's the smallest risk I've ever seen of any risk in the United States. The smallest risk. There's none. But you have to be deeply gaslit to think that there's a path between some protesters moving electric and controlling the nuclear triad or that Trump has some let's say strong leader tendencies and then somehow the entire Republican party would cast off the Constitution. What kind of thinking gets you to that? That's a complete misunderstanding of boundaries. Complete misunderstanding.

Anyway Rasmussen did some polling on media bias. Sixty-one percent of likely voters think the bias in the news is getting worse. Forty-five percent agree with the statement that no matter how much you hate the media it's not enough. Forty-five percent. That's almost exactly Republicans. Twenty-eight percent disagree. Twenty-seven percent not sure. So that means that more than half of the country wasn't really noticing that the media had become the enemy. Hadn't noticed. Now I didn't do the twenty-five percent thing this time because the disagree and the not sure I think they should be lumped together as more than half of the country.

All right, you can tell what news people are watching if they're not so sure that the media is a problem. It means they're only watching one source and they believe it's true. God I feel sorry for them.

Well speaking of the news I'm going to call this episode, this next story, Doocy versus dummy. So is it which Doocy is it? Peter or Steve? Peter. It's Peter Doocy, right? The young one. And he asked this of Karine Jean-Pierre. Biden is the sharpest before eight hundred p.m. So say that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke. It's eleven p.m. Who do they call? The first lady? Who do they call? The first lady? Do you know what's funny about that? That is the correct answer. Because if you're going to wake up the president and you know the president may have some medical issues you're actually going to call the first lady. That is actually the person you would call. Like no joke. Absolutely seriously they would call the first lady because she would be the one to make the call whether the president can make the call. Like if you're in a hurry you wake up the first lady. You say here's the deal. Do you have any chance of getting him coherent in the next ten minutes? And the first lady says either yes or no. But you do call the first lady first. That actually was a perfect question and I think it was right on point. I do think literally it wouldn't make any sense to call the president first especially if they're in the same bed if they are.

Well Biden is so confident that Google is biased that he says Google. He did a post on X that just said Google Project 2025. Now that's the Heritage Foundation has a big list of what they think a conservative president should do if elected. Trump has said hey that's not my plan. You know my plan is this plan. And he gives the Republican platform. Now there are some differences but also a lot of overlap because it's Republicans, right? Of course one big plan by Republicans is going to have a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram with any other plan by Republicans. But there are some big differences which of course Joy Reid doesn't show when she shows them next to each other. She just shows the ones that are the same of course.

But imagine how biased Google must be that Biden can say to Google Project 2025 so it makes it sound like it's not him. Well it's not me. Why don't you just Google it with totally independent source and you'll see all the totally independent sources at the top of the search list that will tell you everything that I want you to know. Do you think he could admit any more clearly that Google search is biased? That's all I hear. I hear you can't trust Google. That's what that sounds like to me.

Well CNN said it's going to cut a hundred jobs and launch its first CNN subscription product later this year to which all of you just said what? CNN recently cancelled its subscription project called CNN Plus. So what is it this new one? Well let me give you some insight. I can't imagine how that would work. I don't know who would buy a subscription to CNN but maybe we'll see. Maybe they did some research.

All right, so remember I think I told you I had a conversation with Michael Shellenberger in which I had claimed provocatively that all news is fake. I double down by saying all data is fake. All data is fake. Now there's some weird special exceptions to that. You know if you're looking at the output of a specific one machine that might be right. For example if you were testing the top speed or the gas mileage of one engine in a car, yeah that might be right. But most data that we use for making big decisions, you know the employment data, the inflation data, GDP, all that stuff, that's all fake.

Now why do I know that? The reason I know it is that I worked in an environment for many years, my corporate life, in which it was my job to put data together in a variety of different projects and ways and then tell management what the right thing to do was based on the data. You don't have to do that job for long to learn that all data is fake. Because I got to ignore the data that didn't give me the answer I wanted. I got to tweak the data with my assumptions until I could make it do whatever I wanted which was whatever the bosses wanted. It's all motivated. All data about the big decisions of life are motivated. Somebody wants you to think something. If I had found data that was bad for my company or my department would you ever see it? Of course not. Of course not.

So let's say I found some data that was accurate and it was good for my department or good for my company. So then I publish it. Do you say to yourself oh well sometimes they publish real stuff so this might be real? Well it might be real but that's a coincidence. What's true is I'm only going to tell you what's good for me whether it's real or not, right? So if you don't know that credibility and truth are different concepts, no data is credible. That's a little different than saying none of it is true. But if it's not credible it's as useless and maybe worse than if it were just wrong. It's both the same thing. You get to the same place. You should not make decisions using it whether it's wrong or you can't tell because the people who gave it to you can't be trusted.

Here let me give you a specific example to round this out. If my technology works over on, all right this will be an adventure. Let's see if my technology works. Damn it is it really not working? All right I think it'll work. There we go. Got it. And then you just disappeared. So let's see if this works. Oh is it really not going to work? Good Lord. Oh my God I just want to shoot myself right now. Well I can make it work with but a different way because I put it on my phone. So on Instagram I saw Dr. Peter Attia with a diagram that shows the health spending per capita. So how much health care is spending per person and then life expectancy. You see that the US has a relatively low life expectancy but the highest spending. So what does that tell you? We have the highest spending for the lowest life expectancy of these major other countries that we would be comparable to. So that tells you what? What's your conclusion? Is your conclusion that we spend too much relative to what we get? Is that your conclusion? Because I think that's what Dr. Attia is telling you. That we're not very efficient. That we spend too much and we don't get enough from our health care. Is that what you see in those numbers?

Well let me ask a few questions and see if these came to your mind when you saw them. Number one, do you think that all of these countries measure health care spending the same? For example is cosmetic surgery considered health care spending in Japan or does Japan have as much of it? If let's say if everybody put it in the number, I don't know if they do, but would you put optional health care spending in there if you just spent your own money and went to a cosmetic surgeon? Would that be in health care spending? The data, right? I don't know but you don't know either, do you? We don't know. So what if it's in some of these numbers in these countries and others not? Because if you look at the difference that big bar at the top is the American spending. If the only difference was our cosmetic surgery that would be most of the difference, wouldn't it?

How about this? If you're comparing let's say Japan to the US, in Japan you have mostly Japanese there. Far less diversity. There's actually a story today that Japan is getting pro-immigration compared to the past. So they do have more diversity than they ever had but still Japan is more Japanese people in Japan. You know there's a high percentage. So should it, does it make sense to compare the outcomes of Japan to the outcomes of the United States? Not exactly. If you're trying to figure out if we're spending too much on health care you should look at just the Japanese Americans, shouldn't you? If you compare the Japanese Americans to Japan do you think there would be a big difference? The answer is no there wouldn't be. I checked. So are we really spending too much if the Japanese Americans living in America are living the same amount as the Japanese were living in Japan? It's just other ethnicities who aren't doing well that that should be included. I mean that's got to be part of the analysis but I don't see it.

How about the fact that the Black Americans have high unemployment and high crime rates and therefore and also you know a lot of overdoses and death by murder etc. If you took out just the Black population and looked at the rest of America would it look like this or would our life expectancy be longer? It'd be longer. So part of what you're measuring is just that we have more diversity than the other countries and within that diversity you've got groups that have pretty good life expectancy and people who have really alarmingly low because of poverty and violence and all the bad things. So that's not giving you a clear picture.

How about diet? What about diet? We know that the American diet is unusually bad and we're unusually obese. Would you expect to see way more spending on health care and way less good results if the only thing that was different was we were eating and the French were eating good food? And of course we've all heard the stories that if you go to France or Europe and you eat the bread you don't get bloated and sick but if you eat the same food in America because they use a different process you feel terrible immediately. Some people. So those are a few things.

And what about the quality of the health care? Suppose let's take my experience. So I have Kaiser Permanente so it's a HMO situation. If I want to get in to see my doctor I could pretty much do it by today or tomorrow. Today or tomorrow. And they could refer me to a specialist and I'd get in there pretty quickly. I can get tests done just because I want them. I can email my doctor, get all kinds of telemedicine. Can they do that in all the other countries? Well I don't know but what I do know is if you're comparing our health care they're not even trying to do the same level of service. If you have a national health care they're going to make you wait two weeks for an appointment. If you do it in America you're going to pay extra and you're going to get in faster. Now apparently that's not enough to keep our life expectancy up. But here's my point.

Peter Attia, very respected doctor, but is he an expert on data analysis? And even if he were would he know the assumptions that went into this study? And the answer is probably no and no. So my point is that when I say all data is, it's this. If you've worked with data you look at this and you go well I can see three major problems and I don't know anything about health care spending or life expectancy. You simply have to have experience in the domain of collecting data to know that when you look at somebody else's data you see three big problems and you know that they didn't solve them because they're probably not solvable. The databases of all these countries probably not counting stuff the same. Almost certainly not. It would be the rarest thing if this were apples to apples. So just take that learning and say I'm not making a case just about health care and outcomes. I'm making a case that all data has this problem. That somebody who's good with data can see all the problems but if you're not, if you're not experienced with data, looks right to you even if it's your domain. Even if you're a doctor it looks right to you.

And then let me end by saying I don't know if any of the criticisms I just made are valid for this study. I don't know that. But what I do know is that it's not credible because I don't know if they did it. Because I don't know. I can't take it seriously even if it's right I wouldn't know.

Well over in Sacramento the city attorney has threatened Target stores because Target keeps reporting retail theft and they've reported retail theft so many times that the government is having trouble functioning because they're dealing with all these reports of thefts. And so rather than solve the thefts they've decided to, let's see, they've issued a warning to the Target store that it will face fines for reporting so many retail theft incidences. So Democrat or Republican? See I'm going to use my ESP. Was it a Democrat or Republican entity that said the solution to reporting so much crime is to stop reporting it? Which would that be, Republican or Democrat? I'm going to go with Democrat. Going to go with Democrat.

Now I ask you if you saw some crime data reported in California would you say to yourself that crime data looks pretty credible? Or if you had a little bit of experience with data but you were no expert on crime could you look at the crime data and with what you knew about the world say you know what I don't think they're collecting the data the way they used to. Do you know who would know that? That they're not collecting the data the way they used to? Everybody who had experience with data collection. Everybody would know that. If you're not an expert in that domain you'd think well these numbers look right to me but they wouldn't look right to anybody who knew the field of data collection.

All right, Sam Altman and Ariana Huffington are teaming up on the effort to use AI for some kind of health outcomes. Basically to be a health coach to help people change their lifestyle and their habits to get rid of chronic illnesses. I love this. I don't know if it'll work but I love that powerful capable people are working on this. To me this is exactly right. If it works that's great. Could you really change lives? If it doesn't work it was still the right thing to do, right? If this doesn't work for whatever reason, absolutely the right place to put your energy. And you know I use ChatGPT all the time now and one of the things I think I can do that I haven't tested yet is I'll bet I could take a picture of a plate of food and it could and just take pictures of everything I eat during the day. You just basically every time I eat just snap a picture of it and then at the end of the day take those pictures, upload them into ChatGPT and say how'd I do today? Keep a running total of my nutrition. I think it can do that already. I'm not positive. I don't know if you need a specialized app but I'll bet I could do it just by looking at it. So I'm thinking of doing that actually.

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor lives in a neighborhood that seems a little unsafe because her bodyguards who are assigned to protect Supreme Court justices, somebody tried to carjack their car outside her home and they opened fire and shot the carjacker who lived. Now I don't have much to say about that except that there's an anti-gun Supreme Court Justice who probably can't take a walk in her own neighborhood because of all the guns which she should say, probably would say if you just make guns illegal we wouldn't have this problem. To which the pro-gun people would say if we didn't make guns illegal the bad guys would have them and all of your cars would be stolen. So I guess we're getting nowhere on that.

So Biden did his NATO speech. It was off the teleprompter. He doesn't really know the difference between putting passion into his speech and anger at this point. Yeah so you know this is what passion would look like and we've really got to increase the GDP and we've got to help Ukraine. That's what passion would sound like. Biden can't get there. He can only do old man yelling at the sky. Oh we're gonna raise taxes. We got to raise taxes. Raise taxes on the rich. He's so far away from looking normal but we got used to it, didn't we? If you'd never seen all of this other stuff and the only thing you saw was his next speech and you didn't know about the whole dementia thing you would say to yourself why is he yelling? What's wrong with him? But he's so far gone that he can give an angry yelling speech and people will say well at least he didn't fall asleep. That looks like a step in the right direction. The bar is so low.

Anyway he did call the Secretary General of NATO an intellectual wigger. I don't know what that means. He looked right at him and he said he's an intellectual wigger. W I G G E R. What was he reaching for? I don't think it was going to be an ethnic slur but what exactly was he trying to say when it came out you're an intellectual wigger? I guess we will never know.

Well Trump continues to be funny and kind of perfect in his campaigning. So people are saying that he's doing a great job of letting Biden's trouble be the top line story. So instead of Trump making big news with some policy or something he gives Biden a golf challenge which is kind of perfect. A golf challenge because it's not serious but it reframes Biden as feeble. He challenged Joe Biden to an eighteen-hole golf match and he was going to spot him ten strokes. So he'd give him ten strokes. And he said if Biden wins Trump will give a million dollars to a charity of Biden's choice. Now I think we all know that Biden can't golf. We all know that, right? So Trump can make any offer he wants for free. It's just a free punch. And he can just say well look I'll give you ten strokes and a million dollars to a charity. You don't want your charity not to get the million dollars do you? All you have to do is play a round of golf. Now of course he's not going to say yes and of course he would lose if he did. So the fact that this is such a non-serious topic but harmless, it's just a harmless non-serious topic. It gives Trump something to say which worked. It reframed Biden as physically incapable. But it wasn't such a big deal that the Democrats have to respond to it, right? And what could they say? What exactly could they say? Oh he will beat you in golf. I've seen him man. In private he golfs like crazy. Yeah in private he shoots par. It's only when people are watching that he slips up a little bit.

All right, so Bill Maher continues to be hilariously normal. And when you see a Democrat who is acting all normal they stand out like a sore thumb. You're like whoa what's he trying, is he trying to be normal and say things that make sense and stuff? So here's what he says. The Democrats are literally asking us to vote for a person in mental decline for president of the United States. The whole party must be in mental decline. Yes Jen, that is a normal smart reaction to what you observe. And boy does he stand out. All that normalness is looking crazy.

But I would say it's not so much a mental decline in the way that Biden is mentally declining. I would say that there's a weird denial of reality that happens on the left that is unlike anything I've ever seen. And I believe that they have somehow created a fantasy world they can live in just all the time. So they live in a fantasy world that Trump somehow could conquer the country through the force of his will plus his friends in high places. That's crazy. It's just crazy. They fantasize that they can put together this speed primary and they put that together. No they can't. That's not going to happen. And then they fantasize that maybe Gavin Newsom could come in and be the head of the party. No we can't. If you haven't noticed that Newsom could not possibly skip over the DEI vice president you haven't noticed anything. How could you know anything if you don't know that? No Gavin Newsom was never a possibility to be the head of the ticket. Never. So far away from being possible that it's a joke. But I don't think that's from mental illness. I think that's DEI and inability to see cause and effect and inability to understand human motivation. Inability to see things as systems instead of goals. A complete denial of reality basically. But not mentally incompetent. It just seems some kind of weird selection process.

Anyway here's what CNN quoted Trump talking about Kamala. Now here's a change. How often does Trump get quoted in full insulting Kamala Harris or a Democrat? It's sort of the sort of thing that they wouldn't want to say because it's sort of good for Trump if it's a good insult. So here's what they quoted on CNN. Trump saying whatever else can be said about crooked Joe Biden you have to give him credit for one brilliant decision. Picking Kamala Harris as his vice president was the greatest insurance policy of all time. If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent they would have bounced him from his office years ago. It's so perfect. It's just perfect. I tell you that the Trump campaign, he's just hitting every note that is perfect. It was so perfect that CNN read it on the air because it's perfect. There's no hyperbole in it and yet it comes off as hyperbole but it's literally true. It would be hard to argue with the statement that if the vice president were just clearly a superstar by now the pressure to get rid of Biden would have been through the roof because everybody would say well the superstar can beat Trump better than you can. But people are looking at a degraded mentally incompetent president and saying you know what, well you're still better than Harris. The fact that even that's a conversation shows that she is the perfect insurance policy.

Meanwhile Joy Reid continues her mental breakdown in public. And I don't mean that as a joke. To me her mental breakdown, actual form of some kind of insanity or mental incompetence, is very obvious. And if you tell me but Scott let's see your diploma for being a you know some kind of expert on mental health, have you been alive for the last year? You realize this is the same thing that's happening with the news being surprised that Biden is not mentally capable. Oh how about the fact that you didn't have to be an expert and everybody who wasn't a liar saw it on day one. I mean we've said for years that Biden can't make it two terms and here we are. So don't tell me that Joy Reid is not having a mental crisis. She's having a mental crisis. It could not be more obvious. It's not a difference of politics. It's not a difference of opinion. What it looks like is that she got brainwashed or yeah she looks like she got gaslit by her own team. It looks like she believes her own network. Same with Rachel Maddow. Just listen to her for five minutes and you can see extreme mental health problems that are coming through with her work. And by the way she admits to a lifetime of depression so she does have genuine mental issues and you can see that this is making it worse. So to pretend that these are opinions I'm really so done with that, right? It's really not about their opinions being different. That is just mental illness. Let's call it out.

And by the way Kamala Harris looks drunk to me lots of times when she appears in public. And am I an expert on addiction? Nope. But I can spot a drunk. I think you could too. I do it actually. I do it all the time. I spot drunks on X. I call them out for acting drunk. You'd be surprised how many times they get back to me and say okay you got me I am drunk. Because it's easy to spot. You don't have to be an expert. I've done it in public a number of times recently where I say you sound drunk and then they say okay you got me I'm a little drunk.

All right but don't get cocky. So if you're so smart that you saw Biden's decline and you're celebrating I'm so smart I saw Biden's decline before the news admitted it, did you also think that Newsom had a chance to be the top of the ticket? Because if you're bragging about seeing that Biden wasn't capable but you didn't know that Newsom is a white man who doesn't have any chance of being the top of the ticket, if you didn't know that you can't brag. If you got them both right you could brag a little. I think that would be totally appropriate. If you got the Biden thing right, you got Kamala Harris looks like she has a substance problem, and you guessed that the Democrats can never skip the DEI vice president with a white guy, if you got all three of those right then you're pretty smart. Or you agree with me. That's just as good.

RFK Jr. was asked about reparations. He says that reparations are not legal and that there was a Supreme Court case that would confirm that. And he said the only way it could ever be legal or funded is if you could somehow prove a direct connection like you knew your DNA came from a slave and you knew where you, I don't know what you'd have to know but you'd have to know something specific. It would never be good enough that you're just Black and you live in the United States. So apparently the Supreme Court ruled on something like that that I didn't know about. But RFK Jr. says it's not an option. But he says that systemic racism against Black Americans is deeply embedded in our prison, legal system, education system, job market, access to capital and beyond. So he says the moral argument for reparations is compelling. I disagree. I agree that the systemic racism exists exactly as he described it. That's not connected to the moral argument for reparations.

Yeah here's a better explanation. Everybody's got some wrong. Everybody's got a problem. That's it. The moral argument doesn't exist because we all got problems and all of us could trace it back to somebody else. Yeah you know think I could sue for reparations. I lost two jobs in corporate America for being a white male and my TV show because they decided to have an all Black Monday night lineup on UPN. You don't think I have a case for reparations? Of course I do. Everybody else does too. That we all got problems. We all got problems and a lot of them are somebody else's fault. You just can't run a country where if you got a problem even if it's real and even if it came from the system you can't give everybody reparations for that.

I do agree with the direct ones like the Japanese internment. People were still alive. There were living people alive who were in them. I happen to know several of them quite well.

All right, so Duke Medical School, some new documentation for their Duke Medical School. They claim that white supremacy culture is something you want to get rid of and you want to get rid of things like dismantling racism and advancing equity. The way they're going to do it is get rid of these white supremacy work culture things such as being on time, dressing professionally, your speech and your work style and negative terminologies. So they're going to get rid of all that stuff. It says that white supremacy culture is the idea or ideology that white people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs and actions of white people are superior to people of color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs and actions. And that's just wrong, says Duke. It says that America is rigged for the interests of white people who get privileges and they're unquestioned about their earned set of advantages, entitlements and benefits bestowed on people solely because they are white. Well not in the country that I live in. In my country being white and male is about the worst thing that could happen to you and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. But sure, sure your problems are bigger than mine. How about that? Yeah your problems are bigger so we'll do everything your way. This is just dumb. Who got in power, right? Whoever it is who's arguing that to be Black means to not be on time and not dress well for work. It's just, let's not pretend this is some kind of ideology.

Right now there's certainly something to it that there's some systemic whiteness preferences built into some things but there are so many things that the non-white preference is built into it's not even close. At the moment it's probably ten to one against white men. Probably ten to one in terms of the weight of bias. But is there a one? Yes yes there is. There is definitely discrimination and systemic racism that affects Black people and other minority groups. It's just that if you want to be accurate in counting it, this being my theme, my theme is that the data is all motivated. If you actually counted up how many people lost a job this year because of their color white men would win hands down. How many people know that? If you stop somebody in the street and say is job discrimination by race real they would of course say yes because everybody knows it's real. Then you would say all right were there more diverse minority people who got turned down for jobs or more white men? The average person would probably say oh minorities of course. They would probably be wrong by ten to one meaning it's not close. It's not close. It's ten to one. It could be a hundred to one. I don't know. Probably not a hundred to one but it's probably ten to one. I think that's a fair estimate.

All right, Governor Whitmer does that funny thing with body language where she says the fact of the matter is that President Biden is showing that he's up to the moment, up to the job, he's in it to win it. Now my impression of her head while she's saying it, the fact of the matter is the president is showing that he's up to the moment. He's up to it. He's so good. He's up to it. And her head is just shaking no. Yeah that's one of the easy ones. The spot that in the wide-eye thing. I think it was John Kirby who did the wide-eyed thing talking to Bret Baier. Yeah say do you think the president is capable of doing the job? And Kirby first looks down. He's like oh can't make eye contact like he's preparing. He's like oh yeah yeah yeah totally good good. And then he does the wide-eye thing. He looks at Bret Baier, goes he's totally good. Everything about him seems totally normal. I don't even see a problem. He's so mentally acute or whatever that word is. I like to say acuity. It's hilariously bad body language.

So the only hope that the Democrats can win is to unite around some kind of gaslighting idea because apparently the Democratic caucus met and they decided that they all hate each other. So if you are finding yourself disliking Democrats here's the good news for you. Democrats agree. They just think it's the other Democrats that are bad.

All right, last night on The Five on Fox News Greg Gutfeld was amplifying the idea of Trump should talk directly to some Democrat voters and get it on video. And I like the idea of a lunch where you edit it so it's not live. But Trump just shows up and talks to some Democrats and teaches them that he's not Hitler and they can ask anything they want and he'll just answer and just go right to the people. Because right now every Democrat is being filtered through their news and that's all they know. All they know is what their news tells them. They need to see a Democrat in the real world having a real conversation with a person who's definitely not Hitler because it doesn't take long to figure out he's not a Hitler. It takes like a second. So let's see if anything comes of that.

Here's something that sounds dangerous but it's the only thing that's keeping you safe probably. David Sacks is pointing out if we ever got in a war with China do you know what's the first thing they would do? They stop making our weapons for us. Did you know that nearly maybe all of our major weapon systems require parts from China and we can't even make that stuff? Just think about that. Our weapons are made by China. So if we got into any non-nuclear war that was going to last a while we'd have to ask them to keep making our weapons. Hey I know we're having a war with you guys but I don't think it's fair if we don't have weapons. So if you wouldn't mind could you send us those spare parts that we could put on our missiles because we got you know we can make part of a missile. We got part of a missile. Well we're kind of going to need those parts that you make because we don't know how to make that stuff.

So now you say to yourself but that's terrible Scott because that makes it more likely that China will go to war because they have control over our weapons. No it's opposite. It's opposite. It probably keeps us safe because the only war that you could have with China is nuclear. Do you get that? Because they make our conventional weapons and we can't make them without them and therefore we couldn't win a war of attrition. There's only one war we could win and nobody wins a nuclear war. So basically by making ourselves crippled to China that we can't even make our own weapons in sufficient quantity it eliminates the option that we're going to attack them. And do you know why they won't attack us? Because we're their biggest market. So the only kind of war you could ever have is a stupid war where you decided to go nuclear and both die. And since nobody wants to do that the odds of war with China are basically zero. Basically zero because our economies are just too tight and we're not going to nuke each other. So I would love to see Trump talk about the reality which is look there is no scenario in which the United States and China get into a war. There is none.

Now of course they might use their military in their local area to put a little muscle and try to nudge things that we might try to use our muscle to nudge them back. But we're not going to get in a war. Even if a war started the first thing we do is stop it. Say whoa whoa what are you doing? Stop that. Yeah there's no chance of a war with China. None.

All right, and I would say that China has introduced their first all-robot factory. So they have what they call a dark factory. Dark meaning literally they don't need to turn on lights because the robots don't need light. So they have many many robots building from scratch I think a phone device. I'm not sure. I think it was a phone but no humans. Now you say to yourself but Scott that's terrible because robots will take all our jobs. But I would argue the following. If robots can do the entire factory doesn't that mean that we could have entire factories making stuff that we can't normally make? The problem, the reason that we don't have American manufacturing is largely because we lost the skill. But if robots are learning to do that skill for us and AI can solve let's say the paperwork and get things approved because that's a pain in the ass, it could be the AI and robots brings manufacturing back to every country. So there's no country that needs to have some other country manufacture because the other country is just going to use robots. You can use robots locally. There's no minimum wage advantage. So as long as no people are involved and looks like China's going to put their own population out of work we can just have robot factories and get our manufacturing back. So I think that's going to happen.

I think America needs to become a vacation destination and needs to work on it fast because I think we're going to have some minimum income eventually because the robots will take all the jobs. And I think that people still need something to do. So if you said to people like me okay you're not going to have your normal job but how would you like to I don't know work in the restaurant that's on the bike path so that people visit the United States and they take a vacation. They're on their e-bike running across the country and they stop at your restaurant. I would say actually that sounds kind of fun. I'd do that. I'd run a restaurant on a bike path. I would enjoy getting up and going to work. So I think, and of course robots would do the hard work in the restaurant too but you still need some people in that environment. So to me it seems like we need to figure out how to become a vacation destination for the rest of the world because we're not going to have anything else that they need. Nobody will have anything to sell except experiences eventually. So we need to make America an experience and one that everybody has to go to like Mecca. Short of that I think we're in a lot of trouble because what else do you have to offer? Eventually nobody will have anything to offer anybody because the robots will bring the cost down so far. So either energy, we either have to be the biggest modular nuclear power company or AI or robot makers but there aren't that many jobs in the future anyway.

The Gaza pier that was a disaster is going to be taken down. That's the whole story. The problem is that that Gaza pier that the US built to deliver stuff to Gaza is visible and it was a failure. You don't want to do something that's both visible and a failure. So they finally just said all right we can't have more pictures of this thing being a debacle. We're going to have to clean it up and they're just going to take it away for another bazillion dollars.

All right ladies and gentlemen probably ran really long. Didn't mean to do it. I'm going to say bye to X and YouTube and Rumble and I'm going to talk to my beloved subscribers for a little bit privately. So see you tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed it. Bye for now.

who would like to see a picture of some cats you would while you're waiting for everybody to get in here let's see if I can make that happen something just happened picture of a cat huh I know I have it here there we go there are two cats that watch my show every day whoops I seem to have lost my signal there I am here's a picture of two cats that watch my show every day every morning I get a picture of these two cats as they get ready to watch the show with their with their own who shall remain anonymous all right let me see if I can fix my comments here let's try one more time and then we'll have a show today's show is going to be amazing I don't always say that but today for sure you're going to love it well good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and if you've showed up here you're probably here at the best time that will ever happen to anybody ever if you'd like to take it up to levels that well you can't even understand with your tiny human smooth brains all you need is a cuper muger glass a tanker chel Stein a canteen Jugger FL vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure pleasure I sound like Joe Biden in parallel pleasure the dopamine here the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous siing happens now go you know Joe Biden has given me an idea for a strategy for life I'm going to start looking stiff now so that later when I'm halfway gone people will say no no he's he's always been like that so if you don't mind I'd like to do my show like this both too early too soon too soon well I have a uh reframe for you uh today I learned that there are people who think that the amount of time it takes you to do something is based on how long it takes you to do the thing how many of you think that if I said to you you need to do this thing would you say to yourself well that's going to take you know one hour or whatever you estimate and then you would say to yourself I guess I need one hour to do this how how many think like that now you're get some of you are saying well isn't that the normal way you think you think in terms of how long something would take and then you allocate that amount of time right well years ago I learned a magic secret the am the length of time it takes to do any task is the amount of time you had to allocate to it I learned that when I was doing comics when I had a full-time job and I would get up in the morning and I'd have to draw a comic every day or else get behind schedule so I had you know an hour and a half to draw a comic you know the from writing to drawing the first draft sometimes almost the entire time would be gone I'd have 10 minutes left and I'd have nothing and then I would write the entire comic in 10 minutes so I'd give myself an hour and a half but I could write it in 10 minutes if I had to and then I realized that that was generalizable to just about everything no matter what you think you should take if you don't have that much time you'll just figure it out and it made me wonder if people who are late all the time think that things just take as much time as they take and I thought if I'd never learned that you can make any schedule work pretty much you pretty much you know there there are physical constraints you know that you can't have a baby in one month right that example but in terms of you organizing your own time your schedule just your normal life you can kind of make anything fit I I also noticed that when I was the busiest in my career I could add the most to it which is to completely counterintuitive but the reason I could do that is that when I was super busy I would make sure that any new thing I added would be in the smallest slice of time and then I would just look at that tiny little slice of time and I'd say how in the world am I going to get two hours worth of work into that 10 minutes and then I would just do it and every time I did it I think huh I was sure that would take two hours so as a as a good General mindset reframe tell yourself that uh you can make any task for any time frame now that's not entirely true you cannot make every task for every time frame it's not true it's a reframe reframe doesn't have to be technically true it just has to be a better mindset than whatever you were in and the worse mindset you could have is that things are going to take as long as they're going to take don't think that way think that you can make anything work in any amount of time and then just make it happen you you'll be right 99% of the time well there's a new breakthrough in science maybe um noo nutrients it's a company that can turn CO2 into protein so they do a chemical reaction and they turn it into some kind of protein which with a little more work they might figure out how to make it a food source so is this perfect or what you know they always science sometimes will come up with solutions that are impractical well technically it work but it's impractical but suppose because food prices are so high thanks to inflation and we're the we're the fattest country in the world America I don't know if that's true but let's say it is if they find a way that we can eat our away and of climate change they have figured out the smartest solution well they're not going to drive less but could we make them eat more I think we could we'll never get him to drive less we could sure as hell get him to eat more so uh maybe if this works you'll eat your way to climate happiness and you can eat some bugs too I hear no don't worry about this and I know what you're going to say I know what you're going to say but Scott the CO2 is already plant food it makes the plants grow we eat the plants we don't need this know I hear you and you're also going to say Scott we have a solution for CO2 it's called trees have you heard of them they're called trees that's for the NPCs I do a separate show for the NPCs who just have to say the obvious things so that's for them all right here's a little lesson on how to know what's true and what's not true now like most of these lessons on knowing what's true and what's not true they're not 100% they're just directionally statistically likely to help you out let me give you an example I call this one the dog not barking and you've heard this one before but the more examples you hear the more you can recognize it so the dog not barking is the thing that should be happening if your if your current understanding of the world is correct there should be something happening that's not happening and if it's not happening you should say huh maybe my worldview is incorrect because if it were correct there's definitely a thing that would be happening I'll give you two examples uh you would agree I think that there is a fairly widespread doubt in the United States about election security we know that when Trump won in 2016 the Democrat leaders like Hillary Clinton said it's rigged or something's rigged they didn't say the vote was rigged they thought Russia rigged it somehow but maybe they thought Russia rigged the vote I don't know whatever they thought they they weren't so sure the election gave us the right result and then of course Trump famously thought he got the wrong result when he lost and probably I don't know 40% of the public thinks that the elections are completely artificial and if somebody decides who the president is and then there's just some theater called an election so that's pretty widespread doubt about the election now would you agree with the premise that there is widespread doubt about the Integrity of the election I'll say widespread 30 to 40% of the public would that be fair um now what would you expect if the government knew that the Integrity of elections are just fundamentally important to the country just Baseline fundamental necessity that we have to trust the elections what would what would you expect what dog would be barking well I'll tell you the dog you would expect would be the government would say whoa that's a lot of people not trusting our elections that's existential threat so what we'll do is we'll educate the public on how the election systems are uh can be audited easily and how we know that they're secure how hard would that be it'd be one video maybe one document and it would just describe oh you public the thing you don't know is that our elections are way more secure than you think and here's how we always know that your vote got to the Final Destination and here's how we can tell if there's any irregularity and here's how we can easily audit if anybody has that question therefore by the design of the system you can see that you should trust the election isn't that the most obvious thing you'd see if the government knows that 30 or 40% the public roughly doesn't trust the process and it wouldn't be hard to tell them why it works you just say here's the process you can see how perfect it is see how welld designed it is there's no room for any error here but we don't see that do we we don't see that wouldn't that be easy to produce somebody who understood the election system well enough to know it was Secure if it were me for example let's say I let's say I were the expert I could write that up in I don't know two hours and it would change the whole country because people would look at my document they say oh well you know I didn't know this I didn't know that they could so easily audit and catch mistakes so I guess it's secure where's that where is it two hours of work for one person to just describe how the election is secure never seen it have you don't you think that given the size of the problem that people don't trust the elections given the size of the problem it may have caused something like a protest Insurrection according to the Democrats the size of that problem nobody would write a two-page document explaining why you don't have to worry about the results that's that's pretty pretty obviously missing would you say did I go too far has anybody ever seen any describe to you why it is in fact a secure election no you'll never see that you know why because it's obviously not secure I don't think it could be more obvious that's the most obvious thing in the world right now is if you could secure it and if you could know the government would have told you how you can secure it and how you can know it's secure and they don't it's pretty glaringly obvious all right here's another one if you thought that climate change was going to destroy the world and you you really thought that the climate models were telling you something useful and you knew that a huge portion of the world more conservatives than that don't believe climate change is even real what would you do if you were the government and you are absolutely sure that it's the biggest problem in the country in the world really and and people didn't believe it so they weren't maybe acting right well I think your new sources would be encouraged to have experts with both views on and then the the critic would say I'm not so sure but this climate change then the expert would say well here's why you should be and then the critic would say well I'm not so sure you can measure accurately and then the expert would say oh you know I can see why you'd say that but here's the evidence that we can measure accurately wouldn't you expect that if the argument in favor of climate change is so rock solid and 30% of the country doesn't believe it would you deal with it by saying well you guys are idiots 97% of the uh scientists are on the same side is that the best you could do if the whole if the whole world is going to be destroyed and all it would require to fix it in other words getting all the people on the same page page would be just showing both sides because if you showed both sides and one side is just overwhelmingly obviously true wouldn't that be enough just show both arguments you can see that one of them is who so much better but where is it the most obvious thing you'd expect if it's true that climate change is an existential risk you would see that all over the place every single time you turned on the news they say look you're not getting it yet we really got to we really got to educate you here's the expert ask them anything you want right the most obvious thing you'd have and let's go even more obvious since the crisis is really predicated on the reliability of the models don't you think that given the models climate models have now been running for decades wouldn't they tell you how accurate the predictions were wouldn't they show you look this predicted that New York City would be underwater by okay okay that one didn't work out but the one thing we can tell you is that by now according to all of our models and predictions you have predictions on top of models but the prediction on top of the model is the polar bearers are completely go okay they're coming back okay that's that's that one didn't work out but one thing I can tell you is that the coral reefs the Great Barrier Reef is um okay it's really coming back in the last three years wouldn't you wouldn't you see the argument that the predictions have been right so far thus giving you confidence that their next prediction would right you don't see that when was the last time you saw a uh when was the last time you saw a news show they said there have been eight predictions about you know everything from sea l to hurricanes to whatever how we doing you don't see it because it won't check out obviously so just learn that dog not barking if they're not making the argument you know they would make if they believe their own argument you know they would be making the argument everybody likes to be right everybody who has a strong argument wants to crush the people with their dumb little stupid argument so why aren't the people with the good arguments crushing the people with the bad ones kind of missing isn't it all right uh speaking of ridiculousness some Executives from the AI company Humane which I think that company is not doing so well with their new device but uh two of them are leaving and they're going to find their own uh factchecking startup really I I I feel so bad for them they're going to waste their time so there's two people who think that they can start a factchecking startup which suggests that those two people have some way to figure out what's true do you think they do if they did they'd be the first people in the world no do they really think it's going to be like an objective fact check or are they just working for one side and it's going to be another totally fake fact check thing what do you think it but it's ridiculous to imagine that they know what's true we know that's not the case it's going to be more like okay assume climate change is real and then anybody who fact checks against it must be lying it's going to be now there's some indication they're going to use AI as some part of it but I think the uh they're not using AI as the final word it'll just be a tool with their within their system uh but how in the world are they going to decide what's true I don't know how they're going to do it that nobody else could do it so it it's a it's a bit of ridiculousness every time you think you can fix it by by telling people the truth you don't really understand what's going on telling people what's real they wouldn't recognize it and wouldn't believe it if they saw it and neither would you so how are you the source of what's real well there's a new device uh an implantable LED device that uses some kind of light treatment on deep-seated cancers so the idea is they put this little LED um right into your body and it would be um where there would also be a light activated drug so the light the little LED that would be inserted into your body would uh light up the drug that's let's say near the cancer and between the light um what what would you call such a thing what would be another word for that let's see if you had something toxic in your body in this case the cancer and you wanted to you want to put some kind of light in there to get rid of it what what would that be called well if you're a Democrat and you're a idiot you would call it injecting bleach into your arm do you know why you would call it that because that's what they did call it when President Trump talked about the technology which did exist and which he did know about which is uh the heel light technology that was being planned in which they would use a some kind of catheter um to put an LED light that would be UV light in this case down your trachea and potentially into your lung and that would radiate your lungs and they were testing it it didn't work out by the way didn't work but the idea was that they would disinfect your lungs with light and the idiots called Democrats to a person I don't think a single one got this right said Oh you mean drinking disinfectants which turned into Oh you mean drinking bleach which turned into Joe Biden saying injecting bleach into your arm that never gets fact checked oh actually it did get fact checked Daniel Dale did fact check that but he but he also Daniel Dale incorrectly fact checked that the president was wrong and unclear here's what really happened the two experts on the stage Burks and whoever it was were less aware of that technology than Trump was so when Trump brought it up and mentioned light he very specifically mentioned light before the comments and then light after the comments to make sure that you knew he was talking about light and the two experts Dr.

Burks that piece of confirmed that he was talking crazy no he knew more than you did he knew more than you did about that topic he was trying to show off and it didn't work out at all because the experts knew less than he did so he he was trying to show the world that he was up there with some experts and he could engage with them on a topic that the public wasn't so aware of it would make him look like he knew what he was talking about but instead the idiot experts decided to misinterpret him as some kind of drinking disinfectant and then the world went with that one one of the biggest hoaxes in American history and the entire Democrat world thinks it was real and it's become part of Biden's campaign no it's not injecting bleach you idiots all right scientists have developed an invisible mask it's kind of a hat that blows air down from the hat and they say it will block those viruses coming in oh great the last thing I want is a new technology to keep my body away from The Real World I do not want a mask hat no mask hats no mask hats well another uh another news uh Elon Musk won on he was fighting a $500 million sever suit over the mass layoffs on the old Twitter to which I said to myself how could they possibly win that what what kind of job did the Twitter people think they had did Twitter think think that their jobs were like the magic kind where you don't get fired just for any reason whatsoever I've never held a job where I couldn't get fired for any reason they wanted so mus comes in fires 80% of them for any reason he wanted which in this case was making money and it worked I I have a feeling that maybe they started the lawsuit before it was obvious it was one of the greatest management moves of all time because it worked and and X is heading toward cash profitability this year at least cash positive now that's embarrassing that they even brought that suit I mean to even bring that suit makes it sound like you don't know how anything works like you've never had any experience in the real world how did all these people go to work in a you know in the capitalist World they got a job and a paycheck and somehow they didn't think that the boss could fire them for any reason he wanted I don't know uh Elon Musk talking about mail in ballots said this um when combined with mail in ballots meaning the election the system is quote designed to make it impossible to prove fraud uh he says mail and and drop box Bell should not be allowed as cameras on the in-person voting stations could at least prevent large scale fraud by counting how many people showed up versus ballots cast that's pretty good test how many people walked in you could just count them and then you can count the votes and you see if there's more votes than there are people but you can't do that if it's just you know bags of votes that show up now here's what I liked about this I like that he framed it as design it's designed designed to not work it's not accidentally not working mean not working meaning you can't tell if you got the result you wanted you could definitely tell if you got the right result if you didn't do this so why would you introd introduce into the design the one thing that would make the election the least credible and open it up for the most fraud unless your intention was fraud don't you think it's obvious that the intention is fraud because the you know the arguments are ridiculous that uh you know you're going to get the wrong answer in the election if you do it all in one day with paper ballots even though that works everywhere everywhere they do it it works but we would be the only country where it wouldn't work and and it's it's all this about black people can't get driver's licenses I mean it's basically pure racist and here's here's the more uh Common Sense thing to say if voting in person is enough to keep you from voting given that you could probably get off work and you could probably do it after work or even before work given that almost everybody in the world can figure it out do you want any part of your democratic process to be determined by people who wouldn't be able to vote in person now I get it NPCs you're supposed to rush in NPCs please this is your time to shine I expect the NPCs to come in and say B Scott B Scott what about my grandmother who can't make it your grandmother can vote by mail B Scott B Scott what about the the people in the military who are overse fine the military can vote by mail you're not arguing the other point the only thing is you don't want to do widespread uncontrolled mail and ballots and if you design that into the system we must assume there is no other purpose than fraud it's designed fraud and musk is calling it out for exactly what it is now does that mean that I can prove that the election will have fraud no but I can definitely prove that they intend it you can look at the design the design is a clear clear intention of cheating because there's no other reason to do it why would you design a system worse when it takes more money you know more time and effort to make it worse you wouldn't there's only one reason all right what happens if this year or yeah if this election what happens if there's another one of those late night vote count stops for mysterious reasons followed by Trump who way ahead uh being blazed past by mailin boats that are counted last for Biden what do you think is going to happen then violence do you think violence is going to happen I'm more worried that it wouldn't now I don't promote violence I don't want to see any violence but it is nonetheless a feature of the world that violence is the thing that keeps people from doing bad things violence is part of the um police and military because you need sometimes violence to keep people from doing the wrong thing so violence is not something you want to get rid of you just need to make sure it's in the right place within a legal structure right so don't break any laws and don't be violent however if the public is willing to never be violent then you're giving away your democracy so I think I can say all these things at the same time don't be violent don't be violent but if the public gives away their option to be violent then they also give away the Democracy for sure because the the risk of violence is is the only thing that keeps the country free there's no other there's no other check and balance because all the other systems could so easily be corrupted right in front of you that if there were no counter Force to it it would just happen I would argue it's already happened but I don't think that they can get away with that again because even even if you imagine there was a reason for it which is more Biden voters vote by mail that was their excuse it's pretty clear that the entire right leing part of the country isn't going to buy it they're just not going to buy it so unless somebody's standing there to watch those new ballots coming in we're going to have a problem here would be the ultimate problem which I do expect to happen this is this is a prediction I believe that late at night The Observers who are Republican will be kicked out and I believe that after the after The Observers are kicked out as they were before forward by the way there's precedent for this they will simply make an argument that The Observers are being um disruptive that's all they have to do just say oh you're stopping us from doing our job you're not observers you're stopping us from doing our job so security is going to have to show you out because we can't we can't not have a result we have to get a result so all these observers who keep complaining that the ballots don't look real to them uh security is going to have to take them out and then you say to yourself but Scott you know once they've seen the bad stuff they can just tell the courts they can make a case out of it and the courts will look at these ballots and if they're fake well then they change it no that won't happen the system is designed so that can't happen even if the witnesses see it with their own eyes there can be no no action do you know why because we know do you know what happened when Observer said we saw a bunch of ballots that are fake and they're in that room over there they went to the court and they said hey can you open that locked room because we've got you know credible information that if you do we'll find out the entire election was rigged do you know what happened the judge ruled that they had to be opened well okay so then it was opened right no no the judge ruled it had to be opened and then nobody opened it and people complained and nothing happened it remained closed and now the the lawyers are saying we'd like to we'd like permission to destroy the things in the room that they wouldn't open that was ordered to be opened why would they order it to be destroyed as opposed to just opening it and saying well you you thought that these were fake but as you can see they're perfectly fine take a look yourself why wouldn't they do that there's only one reason and they're going to do it again because they got away with it and there is no counter to it they can just throw out the they can just throw out the observers under any excuse do whatever cheating they want and then just stall until it's too late to reverse it and then the court will say well it's too late or the court will say you don't have standing or the court will say you know who who was injured by it or the court will say can you prove that it would change the election no I can't prove it because I don't know what's behind the closed door that they won't open so you see that the system because it's slow and the courts are really biased toward making sure there's a result there is no mechanism even if you see it with your own eyes we know this for sure even if The Observers see it with their own eyes multiple observers we have no system to change it correct it or reverse it we know that for sure sure and the Democrats don't know that they think that the court is functioning and you know doing everything it does of course it isn't not even close so that's coming it's hard for me to believe there will be a result from this election so I'm going to be the contrarian and say under the current design I don't see that we could have an election that the country accepts do you under the current design because unfortunately we learn too much about how they get away with stuff but we don't have any counter to it which means we're just going to watch it happen in all likelihood we're just going to watch it happen and not be able to do a thing now what happens when that happens well I'll tell you what won't happen we'll have a president that everybody agrees got elected so I'm not even sure if I'm not even sure if we could get an election certified I suspect that no matter what the vote count is it won't get certified that's what I think now it won't require you know anybody attacking the capital I think the politicians themselves will look at it and say you know what you have a point we actually don't know if we had an election I think that's what's going to happen I think the politicians who have to certify it in Congress will look at it and they will say honestly we don't even know if we had one we don't even know if we had an election that's what's going to happen all right you know what you don't hear about too much now that uh Biden won't leave office and uh 100% of Democrats are quite sure that if he were to change his mind and leave office the Democrats would be in much better shape to fight against Hitler and save the world from climate change and save Ukraine all those things they say are deeply deeply important but you know what you don't hear anymore Biden is fighting for you and Trump is only in it for himself that used to be one of their biggest themes you know why you can't say that because Trump is just running for for president in a democracy with a list of things he'd like to do to improve the Country Joe Biden is the entire country double the Democrats so they're not going to get their way for whatever is good for Joe Biden and his family now does anybody doubt that is there any Democrat who says yeah you know what Joe is doing what's best for the country by staying in the race no no they might say it because you know they they don't have a choice or something but there's no Democrat who thinks that Joe Biden is working for the country now so so one of the main that you know their three-legged stool was he's going to be a a dictator um he'll take your democracy you'll steal your democracy and he's only in it for himself right the only in it for himself thing is gone because nobody has ever shown more selfishness than narcissism in office than Biden is showing right now probably more mental decline than those things but you cannot argue that Biden's the one who's in it for the country that argument is gone what watch you not hear it and by the way that's another dog not barking right did did you notice that they stopped saying it if you didn't notice that they just went cold on one of the three major complaints about Trump you should have noticed look for the dog not barking it's telling you way more than the dog that's barking all right so uh I guess the New York Times didn't like it when uh Biden said it was the elite Democratic critics who want him to step down so they're doubling down and wrote another editorial saying Biden should step down and be replaced with some uh chosen candidates that would be better now let let me see if you recognize the the system what what would the system be called or the country that does it in which there is a democracy there there's definitely a vote and the vote is even fair the vote is completely Fair as far as you know there's no cheating but the candidates that you get to pick are selected by let's say one or just a handful of the elites so you don't get to vote for anybody you want you get to vote for one of let's say five people that were handpicked by some higher authority what what kind of system would that be would you call that uh F Dem democracy with a republic kind of a structure would you call that the American system who does it remind you of the correct answer is is Iran that's exactly Iran system so the Ayatollah presumably with Consulting of the other top Mulla people the uh the Ayatollah says these five people can run for President we will have a totally fair election nobody complains I've never heard anybody in in Iran complain that the election was rigged maybe they do I just don't hear about it but their intention I believe their actual legitimate intention is to run a fair election because any of the five people have already been vetted to be okay with the Ayatollah now what is it the Democrats want to do they want to get their Elites Obama Bill Clinton few other people like that they want them to quickly put together a list of five candidates to do a little Blitz um kind of a primary that's Iran that's the Iranian system now how would you like to be Trump and you're running against the Iranian government system Trump trump won his place fair and square it he Trump destroyed you know 16 Challengers the first time and however many Challengers there were this time it's Trump anyway so I heard the best argument yet for just somebody on X who wanted to take a shot at the best argument um that Trump will become a dictator in his second term but he didn't become one in his first because Republicans like to say why are you so afraid he's going to become Hiller when you saw an entire term and he didn't become Hiller and here was the best argument all right I'm not saying I agree age with it this is the best argument that in his first term he didn't have the option of you know stacking all the government entities with his own people so he had a lot of people who were kind of frankly anti-trump in his own Administration so if he tried to take any kind of dictator power there were just so many people in his own Administration who wouldn't be up for it that it wasn't really possible but he's had time since his first Administration is Consolidated power so all the Republicans are under his control or at least the ones in key departments and stuff you know the Attorney General will be the Supreme Court or his nominations Etc and that by consolidating power which he's done over time his second term would allow him unprecedented power to become this dictator that they fear what do you think of that by the way that's the first time I've heard that argument and I have to say that at least at least it has some bones on it you know at least it's not just some you just made up by sitting in a room and imagining things I mean there's it is a reality I would I would concur with the um the assumptions the assumptions that he's Consolidated support and it will probably show up in this Administration that seems fair but here's the part that's missing please describe to me and by you you saw this with January 6 where people said can you describe to me how that protest could have turned into taking over a country what what was the mechanism was the person with the nuclear football going to say whoa looks like we got new leaders here's the football like describe it in some way that doesn't sound crazy you can't there there is no path that a bunch of protesters in one building takes over a country it's absurd now let's do the same thing with Trump imagine Trump decided to do some dictator stuff do you really think the government's going to be okay with that see it could be the things that you know maybe Democrats think are dictator Republicans would think would be normal Republican policies so there's some of that but under what situation could Trump remain in power for the rest of his life and get away with that the Democrats have never met a republican I think maybe never met one because there's no Republican who's okay with a republican dictator none the whole Republican situation is Constitution you know the the falty is always to the Constitution and why do they like Trump because he's compatible with the Constitution the moment he became not compatible with the Constitution he would lose 100% of support he would lose Don Jr he would lose a vonka not and and I don't mean that as hyperbole he would literally lose his own family support there is no situation in which he can just say I'm 81 years old I think I'll be the dictator nobody's going to say yes to that nobody in the military nobody in this administra his own Chief of Staff would shoot him whoever it is right like it's the it's the smallest risk I've ever seen of any risk in the United States the smallest risk there's none but you have to be deeply gaslighted to think that there's a path between some protesters moving electr and controlling the nuclear Triad or that Trump you know has some uh let's say strong leader tendencies and then somehow the entire Republican party would cast off the Constitution what kind of thinking gets you to that that that's a complete misunderstanding of boundary complete misunderstanding anyway uh rasmason did some polling on media bias 61% of likely voters think the bias in the news is getting worse um 45% agree with the statement um that no matter how much you hate the media it's not enough 45% that's almost exactly Republicans uh 28% disagree 27% Nots sure so that means that more than half of the country wasn't really noticing that the media had become the enemy hadn't noticed now I didn't do the 25% thing this time because the the disagree and the not sure I think they should be lumped together as more than half of the country all right uh you can tell what news people are watching if they're not so sure that the media is a problem it means they're only watching One Source and they believe it's true God I feel sorry for him well speaking of the news I'm going to call this episode this next story Ducey versus dummy so uh um is it which Ducey is it Peter or Steve Peter it's Peter duy right the young one and uh he asked this of Ken John Pierre um Biden is the sharpest before 800 p.m.

so say that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke it's 11: p.m.

who do they call the first lady who do they call the first lady do you know what's funny about that that that is the correct answer because if you're going to wake up the president and you know the president may have some medical issues you're actually going to call the first lady that is actually the person you would call like no joke absolutely seriously they would call the first lady because she would be the one to make the call whether the president can make the call like if if if you're in a hurry you wake up the First Lady you say here's the deal do you have any chance of getting him coherent in the next 10 minutes and the first lady says either yes or no but you do call the first lady first that actually was a perfect question and I think it was right on point I do think literally it wouldn't make any sense to call the president first especially if they're in the same bed if they are well Biden is so confident that Google is biased that he says Google he did a post on X that just said Google project 2025 now that's the Heritage Foundation has a big list of what they think a conservative President should do if elected Trump has said hey that's not my plan you know my plan is this plan and he gives the Republican platform now there are some differences but also a lot of overlap because it's Republicans right of course one big plan by Republicans is going to have a lot of overlap in the ven diagram with any other plan by Republicans but there are some big differences which uh of course Joy Reed doesn't show when she shows them next to each other she just shows the ones that are the same of course but imagine how how biased Google must be that Biden can say to Google project 202 so it makes it sound like it's not him well it's not me why don't you just Google it with totally independent source and you'll see all the you'll see all the totally independent sources at the top of the search list that will tell you you know everything that I want you to know do you do you think he could admit any more clearly that Google search is biased that's all I hear I hear you can't trust Google that's what that sounds like to me well CNN said it's going to cut a 100 jobs and uh launch its uh first CNN subscription product later this year to which all of you just said what CNN recently cancelled its subscri subscription project called CNN plus so what is it this new one well let me give you some insight I can't imagine how that would work I don't know who would buy a subscription to CNN but maybe we'll see maybe they did some research all right um so remember uh I think I told you had a conversation with Michael lean black in which I had claimed provocatively that uh all news is fake I double down by saying all data is fake all data is fake now there there's some weird like special exceptions to that you know if you're if you're looking at the output of a specific one machine that might be right for example if you were testing the highp speed or the gas mileage of one engine in a car yeah that might be right but most data that we use for making big decisions you know the employment data the you know the inflation data GDP all that stuff that's all fake now why do I know that the reason I know it is that I worked in an environment for many years my corporate life in where in which it was my job to put data together in a variety of different you know projects and ways and then tell management what the right thing to do was based on the data you don't have to do that that job for long to learn that all data is fake because I got to ignore the data that didn't give me the answer I didn't want I got to tweak the data with my assumptions until I could make it do whatever I wanted which was whatever the bosses wanted it's all motivated all data about the big decisions of Life are motivated somebody wants you to think something if I had found data that was bad for my company or my department would you ever see it of course not of course not so let's say I found some data that was accurate and it was good for my department or good for my company so then I publish it do you say to yourself oh well sometimes they publish real stuff so this might be real well it might be real but that's a coincidence what's true is I'm only going to tell you what's good for me whether it's real or not right so if you don't know that credibility and Truth are different concepts no data is credible that's a little different than saying none of it is true but if it's not credible it's as useless and maybe worse than if it were just wrong it's it's both the same thing you get to the same place you should not make decisions using it whether it's wrong or you can't tell because the people gave it to you can't be trusted here let me give you a specific example to get to round this out if my technology works over on um all right this will be a adventure let's see if my technology works damn it is it really not working all right I think it'll work there we go got it uh and then you just disappeared so let's see if this works oh is it really not going to work good Lord oh my God I just want to shoot myself right now well I can make it work with but a different way because I put it on my phone so on Instagram um I saw uh Dr.

Peter petera uh with a diagram that shows the let's see the health spending per capita so how much health care is spending per person and then life expectancy you see that the us has a a relatively low life expectancy but a the highest spending so what does that tell you we have the highest spending for the lowest life expectancy of these major other countries that we would be comparable to so that tells you what what's your conclusion is your conclusion that we spend too much relative to what we get is that your conclusion because I think that's what Dr.

AA is telling you that we're we're not very efficient that we spend too much and we don't get enough from our healthare is that what you see in those numbers well let me ask a few questions and see if these came to your mind when you saw them number one do you think that all of these countries measure healthc care spending the same for example is cosmetic surgery considered Health Care spending in Japan or does Japan have as much of it if it if let's say if everybody put it in the number I don't know if they do but would you put optional Health Care spending in there if you just spent your own money and went to a a cosmetic surgeon would that be in healthc care spending the doctor does it right I don't know but you don't know either do you we don't know so what if it's in some of these numbers in these countries and others not because if you look at the difference that big bar at the top is the American spending if the only difference if the only difference was our cosmetic surgery that would be most of the difference wouldn't it how about this if you comparing let's say uh Japan to the US in Japan you have mostly Japanese there far less they there's actually a story today that Japan is getting pro-immigration compared to the past so they do have more diversity than they ever had but still Japan is more Japanese people in Japan you know uh there's a high percentage so should it does it make sense to compare the outcomes of Japan to the outcomes of the United States not exactly if you're trying to figure out if we're spending too much on Healthcare you should look at just the Japanese Americans shouldn't you if you compare the Japanese Americans to Japan do you think there would be a big difference the answer is no there wouldn't be I checked so are we really spending too much if the a if the Japanese Americans living in America are living the same amount as the Japanese were living in Japan it's just other ethnicities who aren't doing well that that should be included I mean that's got to be part of the analysis but I don't see it how about the fact that the black Americans have high unemployment and high crime rates and therefore and also you know a lot of overdoses and uh death by murder Etc if you took out just the black population and looked at the rest of America would it look like this or would our health our life expectancy be longer it'd be longer so part of what your measuring is just that we have more diversity than the other countries and within that diversity you got groups that have pretty good life expectancy and people who have you know really alarmingly low because of poverty and violence and all the bad things so that's not giving you a clear picture how about diet what about diet we know that the the American diet is unusually bad and we're unusually obese would you expect to see way more spending on health care and way less good results if the only thing that was different was we were eating and the French were eating good food and of course we've all heard the stories that if you go to France or Europe and you eat the bread you don't get bloated and sick but if you eat the same food in America because they use a different process you feel terrible immediately some people so those are a few things um let's see and what about the quality of the health care suppose uh let's take my experience so I have Kaiser Permanente so it's a HMO situation if I want to get into to see my doctor I could pretty much do it by today or tomorrow today or tomorrow and they could refer me to a specialist and I'd get in there pretty quickly I can get tests done just because I want them I can email my doctor get all kinds of tele medicine can they do that in all the other countries well I don't know but what I do know is if you're comparing our health care they're not they're not even trying to do the same level of service if if you have a national healthc care they're going to make you wait two weeks for an appointment if you do it in America you're going to pay extra and you're going to get in faster now apparently that's not enough to keep our life expectancy up but here's my point Peter AA very you know uh respected doctor but is he an expert on data analysis and even if he were would he know the assumptions that went into this study and the answer is probably no and no so my point is that when I say all data is it's this it's this if you've worked with data you look at this and you go well I can see three major problems and I don't know anything about healthc care spending or life expectancy you simply have to have experience in the domain of collecting data to know that when you look at somebody else's data you see three big problems and you know that they didn't solve them because they're probably not solvable the databases of all these countries probably not counting stuff the same almost certainly not it would be the rarest thing if the If This Were apples and Apples to Apples so just take that learning and say I'm not making a case just about Healthcare and outcomes I'm making a case that all data has this problem that somebody who who's good with data can see all the problems but if you're not if you're not experienced with data looks right to you even if it's your domain even if you're a doctor it looks right to you and then let me end by saying I don't know if any of the criticism criticisms I just made are valid for this study I don't know that but what I do know is that it's not credible because I don't know if they did it because I don't know I I can't take it seriously even if it's right I wouldn't know well over in Sacramento the City attorney has threatened Target stores because Target keeps reporting retail theft and they've reported retail so many times theft so many times that the that the government is having trouble functioning because they're dealing with all these reports of thefts and so rather than solve the thefts they've decided to let's see um they've issued a warning to the Target store that it will face f for reporting so many retail theft incidences so democrat or republican see I'm going to use my ESP was it a Democrat or Republican entity that said the solution to reporting so much crime is to stop reporting it which would that be Republican or Democrat I'm going to go with Democrat GNA go with Democrat now I ask you if you saw some crime data reported in California would you say to yourself that crime data looks pretty credible or if you had a little bit of experience with data but you were no expert on crime could you look at the crime data and with what you knew about the world say you know what I don't think they're collecting the data the way they used to do you know who would know that that they're not collecting the data the way they used to everybody who had experience with data collection everybody would know that if you're not an expert in that domain you'd think well these numbers look right to me but they wouldn't look right to anybody who knew the field of data collection all right Sam mman and Ariana Huffington are teaming up uh on the effort to use AI for some kind of Health outcomes basically to be a a health coach to help people change their lifestyle and their habits to get rid of chronic illnesses um I love this I don't know if it'll work but I love that powerful capable people are working on um this to me this is exactly right if it work if it works that's great could you really change lives if doesn't work it was still the right thing to do right if this doesn't work for whatever reason absolutely the right place to put your energy and you know I use chat GPT all the time now and one of the things I think I can do that I haven't tested yet is I'll bet I could take a picture of a plate of food and it could and just take pictures of everything I eat during the day you just basically every time I eat just snap a picture of it and then at the end of the day take those pictures up Lo him into chat GPT and say how' I do today keep a keep a running total of my nutrition I think it can do that already I'm not positive I don't know if you need a specialize app but I'll bet I could do it just by looking at it so I'm thinking of doing that actually uh Supreme Court Justice Sodom um she lives in a neighborhood that seems a little unsafe because her bodyguards who are assigned to protect secret um protect Supreme Court of justices um somebody tried to carjack their car outside her home and they opened fire and shot the uh the carjacker who lived now I don't have much to say about that except that there's an anti-gun Supreme Court Justice who probably can't take a walk in her own neighborhood because of all the guns which she should say probably would say if you just make guns illegal we wouldn't have this problem to which the proun people would say if we didn't make guns legal the bad guys would have them and all of your cars would be stolen so I guess we're getting nowhere on that so uh Biden did his NATO speech it was off the teleprompter um he doesn't really know the difference between uh putting passion into his speech and anger at this point yeah so you know this is what passion would look like and we've really got to increase the GDP and we've got to help Ukraine that's what passion would sound like Biden can't get there he can only do old man yelling at the the sky oh oh we're gonna we're gonna raise taxes we got to raise taxes raise taxes on the rich he's so far away from looking normal but we got used to it didn't we if you'd never seen all of this other stuff and the only thing you saw was his next speech and you didn't know about the whole dementia thing you would say to yourself why is he yelling what's wrong with him but he's so far gone that he can you know give a angry yelling speech and people will say well at least he didn't fall asleep that that looks like a step in the right direction that the bar is so low anyway he did call the Secretary of NATO and intellectual wigger I don't know what that means he looked right at him and he said he's an intellectual wigger wi g g r a wigger what what was he reaching for I don't think it was going to be an ethnic slur but what exactly was he trying to say when it came out you're an intellectual wigger I guess we will never know well Trump continues to be funny and uh Kind of Perfect in his campaigning so people are saying um that he's he's doing a great job of letting Biden's trouble be the top line story so so instead of trump you know making big news with some Poli policy or something he he gives Biden a golf challenge which is kind of perfect a golf challenge because it's not serious but it makes he reframes Biden you know as feeble he said uh he challenged Joe Biden to an 18-hole golf match um and he was going to spot him 10 Strokes so he'd give him 10 strokes and he said if Biden wins Trump will'll give a million dollars to a charity of Biden's choice now I think we all know that Biden can't golf we all know that right so Trump can make any offer he wants for free it's just a free punch and he can just say well look I'll give you 10 strokes and a million dollars to a charity you don't want your charity not to get the million dollars do you all you have to do is play around to golf now of course he's not going to say yes and of course he would lose if he did so the fact that this is such a nonserious topic but harmless it's just a harmless non-serious topic it gives Trump something to say which worked it reframed Biden as you know physically incapable uh but it wasn't such a big deal that the Democrats have to respond to it right and what could they say what exactly could they say oh he will beat you in Gulf I've seen him man in private he golfs like crazy yeah in private he shoots par it's only when people are watching that he slips up a little bit all right um so uh Jen uh weager continues to be hilariously um normal and when you see a Democrat who is acting all normal they they stand out like a sore thumb you're like whoa what's is he trying is he trying to be normal and say things that make sense and stuff so here's what he says the Democrats are literally asking us to vote for a person in mental decline for president of the United States the whole party must be in mental decline yes Jen that is a normal smart reaction to What You observe and boy does he stand out all that normalness is looking crazy but I would say it's not so much a mental decline in the way that Biden is mentally declining I would say that there's a weird denial of reality that happens on the left that is like unlike anything I've ever seen and I believe that they do they have somehow created a fantasy world they can live in just all the time so they live in a fantasy world that Trump somehow could conquer the country through the force of his will plus his friends in high places that's crazy it's just crazy they they fantasize that they can put together this speed primary and and uh they put that together no they can't that's not going to happen and then they fantasize that maybe Gavin Nome could come in and be the head of the party no we can't if you if you haven't noticed that Nome could not possibly skip over the Dei V president you haven't noticed anything how could you know anything if you don't know that no Gavin Nome was never a possibility to be the head of the ticket never so far away from being possible that it's a joke but I don't think that's from mental illness I think that's Dei and inability to see cause and effect and inability to understand human motivation inability to see things as systems instead of goals uh a complete denial of re Rel of reality basically but not mentally incompetent it just seems some kind of weird selection process anyway um here's what uh CNN quoted Trump talking about kamla now here's a change how often does Trump get quoted in full insulting KL Harris or a Democrat it's sort of the sort of thing that they wouldn't want to say because it's sort of good for Trump if it's a good insult so here's what they quoted on CNN Trump saying what whatever else can be said about crooked Joe Biden you have to give him credit for one brilliant decision picking kamla Harris as his vice president was the greatest insurance policy of all time if Joe had picked someone even halfway competent they would have bounced him from his office years ago it's so perfect it's just perfect I tell you that the Trump campaign it he's just hitting every note that is perfect it was so perfect that CNN read it on the air because it's perfect there's no hyperbole in it and yet it comes off as hyperbole but it's literally true it would be hard to argue with the statement that if the vice president were just you know clearly a superstar by now the pressure to get rid of Biden would have been through the roof because everybody would say well the Superstar can beat Trump better than you can but people are looking at a degraded mentally incompetent president and saying you know what well you're still better than Harris the fact that even that's a conversation shows that she is the perfect insurance policy meanwhile Joy Reed continues her mental breakdown in public and I don't mean that as a joke to me her her mental breakdown actual form of some kind of insanity or mental incompetence is very obvious and if you tell me but Scott let's see your diploma for being a you know some kind of expert on Mental Health have you been alive for the last year you realize this is the same thing that's happening with the news being surprised that Biden is not mentally capable oh how about the fact that you didn't have to be an expert and everybody who wasn't a liar saw it on day one I mean we've said for years that Biden can't make it two terms and here we are so don't tell me that Joy Reed is not having a mental crisis she's having a mental crisis it could not be more obvious it's not a difference of politics it's not a difference of opinion what it looks like is that she got brain or yeah she looks like she got gaslighted by her own team it looks like she believes her own network same with Rachel madow just listen to her for five minutes and you can see extreme mental health problems that are coming through with her her work and by the way she admits to uh you know lifetime of depression so she does have genuine mental issues and you can see that this is making it worse so to pretend that these are opinions I'm really so done with that right it's it's really not about their opinions being different that is just mental illness let's call it out and by the way K Harris looks drunk to me lots of times when she appears in public and am I an expert on addiction nope but I can spot a drunk I think you could too I do it actually I do it all the time I spot drunks on X I call them out for acting drunk you'd be surprised how many times they get back to me and say okay you got me I am drunk because it's easy to spot you don't have to be an expert I I've done it in public a number of times recently where I say you sound drunk and then they say okay you got me I'm a little drunk all right um but uh don't get cocky so if you're so smart that you saw Biden's Decline and you're celebrating I'm so smart I saw Biden's decline before the news admitted it did you also think that Nome had a chance to be the top of the ticket because if you're bragging about seeing that Biden wasn't capable but you didn't know that new is a white man who doesn't have any chance of being the top of the ticket if you didn't know that you can't brag if you got them both right you could brag a little I think that would be totally appropriate if you got the Biden thing right you got kamla Harris looks like she has a substance problem and you guess that the Democrats can never skip the Dei vice president with the white guy if you got all three of those right then you're pretty smart or you agree with me that's just as good um RFK Jr was asked about reparations he says that reparations are not legal and that there was a Supreme Court case that would that would confirm that and he said the only way it could ever um be legal or funded is if you could somehow prove a direct connection like you knew your DNA came from a slave and you knew where you I don't know what you'd have to know but you'd have to know something specific it would never be good enough that you're just black and you live in the United States so apparently the Supreme Court ruled on something like that that I didn't know about uh but RFK JR says it's not an option but he says that systemic racism against black Americans is deeply embedded in our prison legal system education system job Mark access to Capital and Beyond so he says the moral argument for reparations is compelling I disagree I agree that the systemic racism exists exactly as as he described it that's not connected to the moral argument for reparations yeah here here's a better explanation everybody's got some wrong everybody's got a problem that's it the the moral argument doesn't exist because we all got problems and all of us could trace it back to somebody else yeah you know think I could sue for reparations I lost two jobs in Corporate America for being a white male and my TV show because they decided to have a an all black Monday night lineup on UPN you don't think I have a case for reparations of course I do everybody else does too that we all got problems we all got problems and a lot of them are somebody else's fault you just can't run a country where if you got a problem even if it's real and even if it came from you know the system you can't you can't give everybody reparations for that I do agree with the direct ones like the Japanese internment people were still alive there were living people alive who were in them I happen to know several of them quite well all right um so Duke Medical School uh some new documentation for their Duke Medical School uh they claim that white supremacy culture is uh something you want to get rid of and you want to get rid of things like uh dismantling racism and advancing Equity the way they're going to do it is get rid of these white supremacy work culture things such as being on time uh dressing professionally uh your speech and your workstyle and negative terminologies so they're going to get rid of of all that stuff it says that white supremacy culture is the idea that or ideology that white people and the ideas thoughts beliefs and actions of white people are superior to people of color and their ideas thoughts beliefs and actions and that's just wrong says Duke um it says that that America is rigged for the interests of white people who get uh Privileges and they get they're unquestioned about their earned set of advantages entitlements and benefits bestowed on people solely because they are white well not in the country that I live in in my country being white and male is about the worst thing that could happen to you and I wouldn't wish it on anybody but sure sure your problems are bigger than mine how about that yeah your problems are bigger so we'll do everything your way this is this is just dumb who got in power right whoever it is who's arguing that to be black means to not be on time and not dress well for work it's just a let's not pretend this is some kind of ideology right now there there's C certainly something to it that there's you know that that there's some systemic you know whiteness preferences built into some things but there are so many things that the non-white preferen is built into it's not even close at the moment it's probably 10 to1 against white men probably 10 to1 in terms of the weight of bias but is there a one yes yes there is there there is definitely discrimination and systemic racism that affects black people and other minority groups it's just that if you want to be accurate in counting it this being my theme my theme is that the data is all motivated if you actually counted up how many people lost a job this year because of their color white men would win hands down how many people know that if you stop somebody in the street and say is is a job discrimination by race real they would of course say yes because everybody knows it's real then you would say all right were there more uh diverse minority people who got turned down for jobs or more white white man the average person would probably say oh minorities of course they would probably be wrong by 10 to one meaning it's not close it's not close it's 10:1 it could be 100 to1 I don't know probably not 100 to1 but it's probably 10:1 I think that's a fair estimate all right um Governor Whitmer does that funny thing with body language where she says uh the fact of the matter is that president is Biden is showing that he's up to the moment up to the job he's in it to win it uh now my impression of her head while she's saying it the fact of the matter is the president is is showing that he's up to the moment he's up to it he's so good he's up to it and her head is just shaken though yeah that's one of the easy ones the spot that in the wideeye thing uh I think it was John Kirby who did the wide-eyed thing talking to Brett Bear yeah' say uh do you think the president is you know capable of doing the job and Kirby first looks down he's like oh can't make eye contact like he's preparing he's like oh yeah yeah yeah totally good good uh and then and then he does the wideeye thing he looks at Brad Barry goes he's totally good everything about him seems totally normal I don't even see a problem he's so mentally acute or whatever that word is I like to say acuy it's hilariously bad body language so the only hope that the Democrats can win is to unite around some kind of gaslighting idea because apparently the Democratic caucus met and uh they decided that they all hate each other so if you are finding yourself disliking Democrats here's the good news for you Democrats agree they just think it's the other Democrats that are bad all right um last night on uh the Five on Fox News uh Greg geld was um amplifying the idea of trump should talk directly to some democrat voters and get it on video and I like the idea of a lunch um where you edit it so it's so it's not live uh but Trump just shows up and talks to some Democrats and teaches them that he's not heler and they can ask anything they want and he'll just answer and just go right to the people because right now every Democrat is being filtered through their news and that's all they know all they know is what their News tells them they need to see a democrat in the real world having a real conversation with a person who's definitely not Hiller because it doesn't take long to figure out he's not a Hiller it takes like a second so let's see if anything comes to that here's uh something that's uh sounds dangerous but it's the only thing that keeping you safe probably uh BAGI sas's pointing out if we ever got in a war with China do you know what's the first thing they would do they sto making our weapons for us did you know that nearly maybe all of our major weapon systems require parts from China and we can't even make that stuff just think about that our weapons are made by China so if we got into any non-nuclear war that was going to last a while we'd have to ask them to keep making our weapons hey I I know we're having a war with you guys but I don't think it's fair if we don't have weapons so if you wouldn't mind could you send us those spare parts that we could put on our missiles because we got you know we can make part of a missile we got part of a missile well we're kind of going to need those parts that you make because we don't know how to make that stuff so now you say to yourself but that's terrible Scott because that makes it more likely that China will go to war cuz because they have control over our weapons no it's opposite it's opposite it probably keeps us safe because the only war that you could have with China is nuclear do you get that because they make our Conventional Weapons and we can't make them without them and therefore we couldn't win a war of attrition there's only one war we could win and nobody wins a nuclear war so basically by making ourselves crippled to China that we can't even make our own weapons in sufficient quantity it eliminates the option that we're going to attack them and do you know why they won't attack us because we're their biggest market so the only kind of War you could ever have is a stupid War where you decided to go nuclear and both die and since nobody wants to do that the odds of war with China are basically zero basically zero because our economies are just too tight and we're not going to Nuke each other so I would love to see Trump talk about the reality which is look there is no scenario in which the United States and China get into a war there is none now of course they might use their military and their local area you know to put a little muscle and you know try to try to nudge things that we might try to use our muscle to nudge them back but we're not going to get in a war even if a war started the first thing we do is stop it say whoa whoa what are you doing stop that yeah there's no chance of a war with China none all right um and I would say that uh so China China has introduced their first all robot Factory so they have what they call a dark Factory dark meaning literally they don't need to turn on lights because the robots don't need light so they have you know Many Many Robots building from scratch I think a phone device I'm not sure I think it was a phone but no humans now you say to yourself but Scott that's terrible because robots will take all our jobs but I would argue the following if robots can do the entire Factory doesn't that mean that we could have entire factories making stuff that we can't you normally make the problem the reason that we don't have uh American manufacturing is largely because we lost the skill but if robots are learning to do that skill for us and AI can solve let's say the paperwork and get things approved because that's a pain in the ass to it could be the AI and robots brings manufacturing back to every country so there's no country that needs to have some other country manufacturer because the other country is just going to use robots you can use robots locally there there's no minimum wage Advantage so as long as no people are involved and looks like China's going to put their own population out of work we can just have robot factories and get our manufacturing back so I think that's going to happen I think America needs to become a vacation destination and needs to work on it fast because I think we're going to have some minimum um income eventually because the robots will take all the jobs and I think that people still need something to do so if you said to people like me okay you're not going to have your normal job but how would you like to I don't know uh work in the restaurant that's on the bike path so that people visit the United States and they take a vacation they're on their ebike running across the country and they stop at your restaur rest I would say actually that sounds kind of fun I'd do that I I'd run a restaurant on a bike path I I would enjoy getting up and going to work so I think and of course robots would do the hard work in the restaurant too but you still need some people in that environment so to me it seems like we need to figure out how to become a vacation destination for the rest of the world because we're not going to have anything else that they need nobody will nobody will have anything to sell except experiences eventually so we need we need to make America an experience and one that everybody has to go to like Mecca short of that I think we're in a lot of trouble because what else do you have to offer eventually nobody will have anything to offer anybody because the robots will bring the cost down so far so either energy we either have to be the biggest you know modular nuclear power company or AI or robot makers but there aren't that many jobs in the future anyway the Gaza here that was a disaster is going to be taken down that's the whole story the problem is that that Gaza Pier that the US built to deliver stuff to Gaza is Visual and it was a failure you don't want to do something that's both Visual and a failure so they finally just said all right we can't have more pictures of this thing being a debacle we're going to have to clean it up and they're just going to take it away for another bazillion dollars all right ladies and gentlemen probably ran really long didn't mean to do it I'm GNA say bye to uh X and You.

Tube and Rumble and I'm going to talk to my beloved subscribers for a little bit uh privately so see you tomorrow hope you enjoyed it bye for now we private and local in oh shoot it's not working oh all right so the button's not working so all of the shows that I just did will be deleted because they can't end so if the studio Falls you know when the rumble Studio can't kill them I have to kill them so that they don't run forever which means that the recorded versions will be deleted so every everything you saw uh you're not going to be able to watch later um on locals we won't have to delete it on locals it'll be a fine but I think X I have to delete I might be able to save it on Rumble and You.

Tube but X I'll have probably have to delete it otherwise it just runs forever I can't stop it all right I'll see if I can end even any of the stream nope all right so not only can I not go to locals but I can't end the stream so I'm going to have to just leave the studio and then kill the streams that I can kill separately oh wait maybe it works nope didn't work all right see you back here tomorrow e

who would like to see a picture of some

cats you would while you're waiting for

everybody to get in

here let's see if I can make that

happen something just

happened picture of a cat huh I know I

have it here there we go

there are two cats that watch my show

every

day

whoops I seem to have lost

my signal there I am here's a picture of

two cats that watch my show every

day every morning I get a picture of

these two cats as they get ready to

watch the show with their with their own

who shall remain

anonymous all right let me see if I can

fix my comments

here let's try one more time and then

we'll have a show today's show is going

to be amazing I don't always say that

but today for sure you're going to love

it

well good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams and

if you've showed up here you're probably

here at the best time that will ever

happen to anybody ever if you'd like to

take it up to levels that well you can't

even understand with your tiny human

smooth brains all you need is a cuper

muger glass a tanker chel Stein a

canteen Jugger FL vessel of any kind

fill it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure pleasure I sound

like Joe Biden in parallel pleasure the

dopamine here the day thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous siing happens now

go you know Joe Biden has given me an

idea for a strategy for life

I'm going to start looking stiff now so

that later when I'm halfway gone people

will say no no he's he's always been

like that so if you don't

mind I'd like to do my show like

this

both too early too soon too

soon well I have a uh reframe for you

uh today I learned that there are people

who

think that the amount of time it takes

you to do

something is based on how long it takes

you to do the thing how many of you

think that if I said to you you need to

do this thing would you say to yourself

well that's going to take you know one

hour or whatever you estimate and then

you would say to yourself I guess I need

one hour to do this how how many think

like that now you're get some of you are

saying well isn't that the normal way

you think you think in terms of how long

something would take and then you

allocate that amount of time right well

years ago I learned a magic

secret the am the length of time it

takes to do any task is the amount of

time you had to allocate to

it I learned that when I was doing

comics when I had a full-time job and I

would get up in the morning and I'd have

to draw a comic every day or else get

behind schedule so I had you know an

hour and a half to draw a comic you know

the from writing to drawing the first

draft

sometimes almost the entire time would

be gone I'd have 10 minutes left and I'd

have nothing and then I would write the

entire comic in 10

minutes so I'd give myself an hour and a

half but I could write it in 10 minutes

if I had to and then I realized that

that was generalizable to just about

everything no matter what you think you

should take if you don't have that much

time you'll just figure it out and it

made me wonder if people who are late

all the time think that things just take

as much time as they

take and I thought if I'd never learned

that you can make any schedule

work pretty much you pretty much you

know there there are physical

constraints you know that you can't have

a baby in one month right that example

but in terms of you organizing your own

time your schedule just your normal life

you can kind of make anything fit I I

also noticed that when I was the busiest

in my career I could add the most to it

which is to completely counterintuitive

but the reason I could do that is that

when I was super busy I would make sure

that any new thing I added would be in

the smallest slice of time and then I

would just look at that tiny little

slice of time and I'd say how in the

world am I going to get two hours worth

of work into that 10 minutes and then I

would just do it and every time I did it

I think huh I was sure that would take

two hours so as a as a good General

mindset reframe tell yourself that uh

you can make any task for any time frame

now that's not entirely true you cannot

make every task for every time frame

it's not true it's a

reframe reframe doesn't have to be

technically true it just has to be a

better mindset than whatever you were in

and the worse mindset you could have is

that things are going to take as long as

they're going to take don't think that

way think that you can make anything

work in any amount of time and then just

make it happen you you'll be right 99%

of the

time well there's a new breakthrough in

science maybe um noo nutrients it's a

company that can turn CO2 into protein

so they do a chemical reaction and they

turn it into some kind of protein which

with a little more work they might

figure out how to make it a food

source so is this perfect or

what you know they always science

sometimes will come up with solutions

that are impractical well technically it

work but it's impractical

but suppose because food prices are so

high thanks to

inflation and we're the we're the

fattest country in the world America I

don't know if that's true but let's say

it is if they find a way that we can eat

our away and of climate

change they have figured out the

smartest

solution well they're not going to drive

less but could we make them eat more I

think we could we'll never get him to

drive less we could sure as hell get him

to eat more so uh maybe if this works

you'll eat your way to climate

happiness and you can eat some bugs too

I hear no don't worry about this and I

know what you're going to say I know

what you're going to say but

Scott the CO2 is already plant food it

makes the plants grow we eat the plants

we don't need this know I hear you and

you're also going to say Scott we have a

solution for CO2 it's called trees have

you heard of them they're called

trees that's for the NPCs I do a

separate show for the NPCs who just have

to say the obvious things so that's for

them all right here's a little lesson on

how to know what's true and what's not

true now like most of these lessons on

knowing what's true and what's not true

they're not 100%

they're just directionally statistically

likely to help you out let me give you

an example I call this one the dog not

barking and you've heard this one before

but the more examples you hear the more

you can recognize it so the dog not

barking is the thing that should be

happening if your if your current

understanding of the world is correct

there should be something happening

that's not happening and if it's not

happening you should say huh maybe my

worldview is incorrect

because if it were correct there's

definitely a thing that would be

happening I'll give you two

examples uh you would agree I think that

there is a fairly widespread doubt in

the United States about election

security we know that when Trump won in

2016 the Democrat leaders like Hillary

Clinton said it's rigged or something's

rigged they didn't say the vote was

rigged they thought Russia rigged it

somehow but maybe they thought Russia

rigged the vote I don't know whatever

they thought they they weren't so sure

the election gave us the right result

and then of course Trump famously

thought he got the wrong result when he

lost and probably I don't know 40% of

the public thinks that the elections are

completely

artificial and if somebody decides who

the president is and then there's just

some theater called an election so

that's pretty widespread doubt about the

election now would you agree with the

premise

that there is

widespread doubt about the Integrity of

the election I'll say

widespread 30 to 40% of the public would

that be

fair um now what would you expect if the

government knew that the Integrity of

elections are just fundamentally

important to the country just Baseline

fundamental necessity that we have to

trust the elections what would what

would you expect what dog would be

barking well I'll tell you the dog you

would expect would be the government

would say whoa that's a lot of people

not trusting our elections that's

existential threat so what we'll do is

we'll educate the public on how the

election systems are uh can be audited

easily and how we know that they're

secure how hard would that be it'd be

one

video maybe one document and it would

just describe oh you public the thing

you don't know is that our elections are

way more secure than you think and

here's how we always know that your vote

got to the Final Destination and here's

how we can tell if there's any

irregularity and here's how we can

easily audit if anybody has that

question therefore by the design of the

system you can see that you should trust

the

election isn't that the most obvious

thing you'd

see if the government knows that 30 or

40% the public roughly doesn't trust the

process and it wouldn't be hard to tell

them why it works you just say here's

the process you can see how perfect it

is see how welld designed it is there's

no room for any error

here but we don't see that do we we

don't see that wouldn't that be easy to

produce somebody who understood the

election system well enough to know it

was Secure if it were me for example

let's say I let's say I were the expert

I could write that up in I don't know

two hours and it would change the whole

country because people would look at my

document they say oh well you know I

didn't know this I didn't know that they

could so easily audit and catch mistakes

so I guess it's secure where's

that where is it two hours of work for

one person to just describe how the

election is

secure never seen it have you

don't you think that given the size of

the

problem that people don't trust the

elections given the size of the problem

it may have caused something like a

protest Insurrection according to the

Democrats the size of that problem

nobody would write a two-page document

explaining why you don't have to worry

about the

results that's that's pretty pretty

obviously missing would you say did I go

too far has anybody ever seen any

describe to you why it is in fact a

secure election no you'll never see that

you know why because it's obviously not

secure I don't think it could be more

obvious that's the most obvious thing in

the world right now is if you could

secure it and if you could

know the government would have told you

how you can secure it and how you can

know it's

secure and they

don't it's pretty glaringly obvious

all right here's another one if you

thought that climate change was going to

destroy the world and you you really

thought that the climate models were

telling you something useful and you

knew that a huge portion of the world

more conservatives than that don't

believe climate change is even

real what would you do if you were the

government and you are absolutely sure

that it's the biggest problem in the

country in the world really

and and people didn't believe it so they

weren't maybe acting right well I think

your new sources would be encouraged to

have experts with both views on and then

the the critic would say I'm not so sure

but this climate change then the expert

would say well here's why you should be

and then the critic would say well I'm

not so sure you can measure accurately

and then the expert would say oh you

know I can see why you'd say that

but here's the evidence that we can

measure

accurately wouldn't you expect that if

the argument in favor of climate change

is so rock solid and 30% of the country

doesn't believe it would you deal with

it by saying well you guys are idiots

97% of the uh scientists are on the same

side is that the best you could do if

the whole if the whole world is going to

be destroyed and all it would require to

fix it in other words getting all the

people on the same page page would be

just showing both sides because if you

showed both sides and one side is just

overwhelmingly obviously

true wouldn't that be enough just show

both arguments you can see that one of

them is who so much better but where is

it the most obvious thing you'd expect

if it's true that climate change is an

existential risk you would see that all

over the place every single time you

turned on the news they say look you're

not getting it yet we really got to we

really got to educate you here's the

expert ask them anything you

want right the most obvious thing you'd

have and let's go even more

obvious since the crisis is really

predicated on the reliability of the

models don't you think that given the

models climate models have now been

running for decades

wouldn't they tell you how accurate the

predictions

were wouldn't they show you look this

predicted that New York City would be

underwater by okay okay that one didn't

work out but the one thing we can tell

you is that by now according to all of

our models and predictions you have

predictions on top of models but the

prediction on top of the model is the

polar bearers are completely go okay

they're coming back okay that's that's

that one didn't work out but one thing I

can tell you is that the coral reefs the

Great Barrier Reef is um okay it's

really coming back in the last three

years wouldn't you wouldn't you see the

argument that the predictions have been

right so far thus giving you confidence

that their next prediction would right

you don't see that when was the last

time you saw a uh when was the last time

you saw a news show they said there have

been eight predictions about you know

everything from sea l

to hurricanes to

whatever how we

doing you don't see it because it won't

check out

obviously so just learn that dog not

barking if they're not making the

argument you know they would make if

they believe their own argument you know

they would be making the argument

everybody likes to be right everybody

who has a strong argument wants to crush

the people with their dumb little stupid

argument so why aren't the people with

the good arguments crushing the people

with the bad ones kind of missing isn't

it all right uh speaking of

ridiculousness some Executives from the

AI company

Humane which I think that company is not

doing so well with their new device but

uh two of them are leaving and they're

going to find their own uh factchecking

startup

really I I I feel so bad for them

they're going to waste their

time so there's two people who think

that they can start a factchecking

startup which suggests that those two

people have some way to figure out

what's

true do you think they

do if they did they'd be the first

people in the

world no do they really think it's going

to be like an objective fact check or

are they just working for one side and

it's going to be another totally fake

fact check thing what do you

think it but it's

ridiculous to imagine that they know

what's true we know that's not the case

it's going to be more like okay

assume climate change is real and then

anybody who fact checks against it must

be lying it's going to be now

there's some indication they're going to

use AI as some part of it but I think

the uh they're not using AI as the final

word it'll just be a tool with their

within their

system uh but how in the world are they

going to decide what's

true I don't know how they're going to

do it that nobody else could do it so it

it's a it's a bit of ridiculousness

every time you think you can fix it by

by telling people the truth you don't

really understand what's going on

telling people what's real they wouldn't

recognize it and wouldn't believe it if

they saw it and neither would you so how

are you the source of what's real

well there's a new device uh an

implantable LED device that uses some

kind of light treatment on deep-seated

cancers so the idea is they put this

little LED um right into your body and

it would be um where there would also be

a light activated drug so the light the

little LED that would be inserted into

your body would uh light up the drug

that's let's say

near the cancer and between the light um

what what would you call such a thing

what would be another word for that

let's see if you had something toxic in

your body in this case the cancer and

you wanted to you want to put some kind

of light in there to get rid of it what

what would that be called well if you're

a

Democrat and you're a idiot you

would call it injecting bleach into your

arm do you know why you would call it

that because that's what they did call

it when President Trump talked about the

technology which did exist and which he

did know about which is uh the heel

light technology that was being planned

in which they would use a some kind of

catheter um to put an LED light that

would be UV light in this case down your

trachea and potentially into your lung

and that would radiate your lungs and

they were testing it it didn't work out

by the way didn't work but the idea was

that they would disinfect your lungs

with

light and the idiots called

Democrats to a person I don't think a

single one got this right said Oh you

mean drinking

disinfectants which turned into Oh you

mean drinking bleach which turned into

Joe Biden saying injecting bleach into

your

arm that never gets fact

checked oh actually it did get fact

checked Daniel Dale did fact check that

but he but he also Daniel Dale

incorrectly fact checked that the

president was wrong and

unclear here's what really happened the

two experts on the stage Burks and

whoever it was were less aware of that

technology than Trump was so when Trump

brought it up and mentioned light he

very specifically mentioned light before

the comments and then light after the

comments to make sure that you knew he

was talking about

light and the two experts Dr Burks that

piece of

confirmed that he was talking crazy

no he knew more than you did he knew

more than you did about that topic he

was trying to show

off and it didn't work out at all

because the experts knew less than he

did so he he was trying to show the

world that he was up there with some

experts and he could engage with them on

a topic that the public wasn't so aware

of it would make him look like he knew

what he was talking about but instead

the idiot experts decided to

misinterpret him as some kind of

drinking disinfectant and

then the world went with that one one of

the biggest hoaxes in American history

and the entire Democrat world thinks it

was real and it's become part of Biden's

campaign no it's not injecting bleach

you

idiots all right scientists have

developed an invisible mask it's kind of

a hat that blows air down from the hat

and they say it will block those viruses

coming in oh

great the last thing I want is a new

technology to keep my body away from The

Real World

I do not want a mask hat no mask hats no

mask hats well another uh another news

uh Elon Musk won on he was fighting a

$500 million sever suit over the mass

layoffs on the old Twitter to which I

said to myself how could they possibly

win

that what what kind of job did the

Twitter people think they had did

Twitter think think that their jobs were

like the magic kind where you don't get

fired just for any reason

whatsoever I've never held a job where I

couldn't get fired for any reason they

wanted so mus comes in fires 80% of them

for any reason he wanted which in this

case was making money and it

worked I I have a feeling that maybe

they started the lawsuit before it was

obvious it was one of the greatest

management moves of all time because it

worked and and X is heading toward cash

profitability this year at least cash

positive

now that's embarrassing that they even

brought that suit I mean to even bring

that suit makes it sound like you don't

know how anything works like you've

never had any experience in the real

world how did all these people go to

work in a you know in the capitalist

World they got a job and a paycheck and

somehow they didn't think that the boss

could fire them for any reason he

wanted I don't

know uh Elon Musk talking about mail in

ballots said this um when combined with

mail in ballots meaning the election the

system is quote designed to make it

impossible to prove

fraud uh he says mail and and drop box

Bell should not be allowed as cameras on

the in-person voting stations could at

least prevent large scale fraud by

counting how many people showed up

versus ballots cast that's pretty good

test how many people walked in you could

just count them and then you can count

the votes and you see if there's more

votes than there are people but you

can't do that if it's just you know bags

of votes that show up now here's what I

liked about this I like that he framed

it as design

it's

designed designed to not

work it's not accidentally not working

mean not working meaning you can't tell

if you got the result you

wanted you could definitely tell if you

got the right

result if you didn't do this so why

would you introd introduce into the

design the one thing that would make the

election the least credible and open it

up for the most fraud

unless your intention was

fraud don't you think it's obvious that

the intention is

fraud because the you know the arguments

are

ridiculous that uh you know you're going

to get the wrong answer in the election

if you do it all in one day with paper

ballots even though that works

everywhere everywhere they do it it

works but we would be the only country

where it wouldn't work

and and it's it's all this

about black people can't get driver's

licenses I mean it's basically pure

racist and here's here's the

more uh Common Sense thing to say if

voting in person is enough to keep you

from

voting given that you could probably get

off work and you could probably do it

after work or even before work given

that almost everybody in the world can

figure it out do you want any part of

your democratic process to be determined

by people who wouldn't be able to vote

in person now I get it NPCs you're

supposed to rush in NPCs please this is

your time to shine I expect the NPCs to

come in and say B Scott B Scott what

about my grandmother who can't make it

your grandmother can vote by mail B

Scott B Scott what about the the people

in the military who are

overse fine the military can vote by

mail you're not arguing the other

point the only thing is you don't want

to do widespread uncontrolled mail and

ballots and if you design that into the

system we must assume there is no other

purpose than fraud it's designed fraud

and musk is calling it out for exactly

what it is now does that mean that I can

prove that the election will have fraud

no but I can definitely prove that they

intend

it you can look at the design the design

is a clear clear intention of cheating

because there's no other reason to do it

why would you design a system worse when

it takes more money you know more time

and effort to make it

worse you wouldn't there's only one

reason all right what happens if this

year or yeah if this election what

happens if there's another one of those

late night vote count stops for

mysterious reasons followed by Trump who

way ahead uh being blazed past by mailin

boats that are counted last for

Biden what do you think is going to

happen

then

violence do you think violence is going

to

happen I'm more worried that it wouldn't

now I don't promote violence I don't

want to see any violence but it is

nonetheless a feature of the world that

violence is the thing that keeps people

from doing bad

things violence is part of the um police

and military because you need sometimes

violence to keep people from doing the

wrong thing so violence is not something

you want to get rid

of you just need to make sure it's in

the right place within a legal structure

right so don't break any laws

and don't be violent

however if the public is willing to

never be violent then you're giving away

your

democracy so I think I can say all these

things at the same time don't be

violent don't be

violent but if the public gives away

their option to be violent then they

also give away the Democracy for sure

because the the risk of violence is is

the only thing that keeps the country

free there's no other there's no other

check and balance because all the other

systems could so easily be corrupted

right in front of you that if there were

no counter Force to it it would just

happen I would argue it's already

happened but I don't think that they can

get away with that

again because even even if you imagine

there was a reason for it which is more

Biden voters vote by mail that was their

excuse it's pretty clear that the entire

right leing part of the country isn't

going to buy it they're just not going

to buy it so unless somebody's standing

there to watch those new ballots coming

in we're going to have a problem here

would be the ultimate problem which I do

expect to happen this is this is a

prediction I believe that late at night

The Observers who are Republican will be

kicked

out and I believe that after the after

The Observers are kicked out as they

were before forward by the way there's

precedent for this they will simply make

an argument that The Observers are being

um

disruptive that's all they have to do

just say oh you're stopping us from

doing our job you're not observers

you're stopping us from doing our job so

security is going to have to show you

out because we can't we can't not have a

result we have to get a result so all

these observers who keep complaining

that the ballots don't look real to them

uh security is going to have to take

them out and then you say to yourself

but Scott you know once they've seen the

bad stuff they can just tell the courts

they can make a case out of it and the

courts will look at these ballots and if

they're fake well then they change it no

that won't happen the system is designed

so that can't happen even if the

witnesses see it with their own

eyes there can be no no action do you

know why because we know do you know

what happened when Observer said we saw

a bunch of ballots that are fake and

they're in that room over there they

went to the court and they said hey can

you open that locked room because we've

got you know credible information that

if you do we'll find out the entire

election was rigged do you know what

happened the judge ruled that they had

to be opened well okay so then it was

opened right no no the judge ruled it

had to be opened and then nobody opened

it and people complained and nothing

happened it remained closed and now the

the

lawyers are saying we'd like to we'd

like permission to destroy the things in

the room that they wouldn't open that

was ordered to be

opened why would they order it to be

destroyed as opposed to just opening it

and saying well you you thought that

these were fake but as you can see

they're perfectly fine take a look

yourself why wouldn't they do that

there's only one

reason and they're going to do it again

because they got away with it and there

is no counter to it they can just throw

out the they can just throw out the

observers under any excuse do whatever

cheating they want and then just stall

until it's too late to reverse it and

then the court will say well it's too

late or the court will say you don't

have standing or the court will say you

know who who was injured by it or the

court will say can you prove that it

would change the election no I can't

prove it because I don't know what's

behind the closed door that they won't

open so you see that the system because

it's slow and the courts are really

biased toward making sure there's a

result there is no

mechanism even if you see it with your

own eyes we know this for sure even if

The Observers see it with their own eyes

multiple observers we have no system to

change it correct it or reverse it we

know that for sure sure and the

Democrats don't know that they think

that the court is functioning and you

know doing everything it does of course

it isn't not even

close so that's coming it's hard for me

to believe there will be a result from

this

election so I'm going to be the

contrarian and say under the current

design I don't see that we could have an

election that the country accepts

do you under the current design because

unfortunately we learn too much about

how they get away with stuff but we

don't have any counter to

it which means we're just going to watch

it happen in all likelihood we're just

going to watch it happen and not be able

to do a thing now what happens when that

happens well I'll tell you what won't

happen we'll have a president that

everybody agrees got elected so I'm not

even sure if I'm not even sure if we

could get an election

certified I

suspect that no matter what the vote

count is it won't get

certified that's what I think now it

won't require you know anybody attacking

the capital I think the politicians

themselves will look at it and say you

know what you have a point we actually

don't know if we had an

election I think that's what's going to

happen I think the politicians who have

to certify it in Congress will look at

it and they will say honestly we don't

even know if we had one we don't even

know if we had an election that's what's

going to

happen all right you know what you don't

hear about too much now that uh Biden

won't leave office and uh 100% of

Democrats are quite sure that if he were

to change his mind and leave office the

Democrats would be in much better shape

to fight against Hitler and save the

world from climate change

and save Ukraine all those things they

say are deeply deeply

important but you know what you don't

hear

anymore Biden is fighting for

you and Trump is only in it for himself

that used to be one of their biggest

themes you know why you can't say

that because Trump is just running for

for president in a democracy with a list

of things he'd like to do to improve the

Country Joe Biden is the entire

country double the Democrats so

they're not going to get their way for

whatever is good for Joe Biden and his

family now does anybody doubt that is

there any Democrat who says yeah you

know what Joe is doing what's best for

the country by staying in the race no no

they might say it because you know they

they don't have a choice or something

but there's no Democrat who thinks that

Joe Biden is working for the country

now so so one of the main that you know

their three-legged

stool was he's going to be a a

dictator um he'll take your democracy

you'll steal your

democracy and he's only in it for

himself right the only in it for himself

thing is

gone because nobody has ever shown more

selfishness than narcissism in office

than Biden is showing right now probably

more mental decline than those things

but you cannot argue that Biden's the

one who's in it for the country that

argument is

gone what watch you not hear it and by

the way that's another dog not

barking right did did you notice that

they stopped saying it if you didn't

notice that they just went cold on one

of the three

major complaints about Trump

you should have

noticed look for the dog not barking

it's telling you way more than the dog

that's

barking all

right

so uh I guess the New York Times didn't

like it when uh Biden said it was the

elite Democratic critics who want him to

step down so they're doubling down and

wrote another editorial saying Biden

should step down and be replaced with

some uh chosen candidates that would be

better now let let me see if you

recognize the the system what what would

the system be called or the country that

does it in which there is a democracy

there there's definitely a vote and the

vote is even fair the vote is completely

Fair as far as you know there's no

cheating but the candidates that you get

to pick are selected by let's say one or

just a handful of the elites so you

don't get to vote for anybody you want

you get to vote for one of let's say

five people that were

handpicked by some higher authority what

what kind of system would that be would

you call that

uh F Dem democracy with a republic kind

of a structure would you call that the

American system who does it remind you

of the correct answer is is Iran that's

exactly Iran system so the Ayatollah

presumably with Consulting of the other

top Mulla people the uh the Ayatollah

says these five people can run for

President we will have a totally fair

election nobody complains I've never

heard anybody in in Iran complain that

the election was rigged maybe they do I

just don't hear about it but their

intention I believe their actual

legitimate intention is to run a fair

election because any of the five people

have already been vetted to be okay with

the

Ayatollah now what is it the Democrats

want to do they want to get their

Elites Obama Bill Clinton few other

people like that they want them to

quickly put together a list of five

candidates to do a little Blitz um kind

of a

primary that's Iran that's the Iranian

system now how would you like to be

Trump and you're running

against the Iranian government

system Trump trump won his place fair

and square it he Trump destroyed you

know 16 Challengers the first time and

however many Challengers there were this

time it's

Trump anyway

so I heard the best argument yet for

just somebody on X who wanted to take a

shot at the best

argument

um that Trump will become a dictator in

his second term but he didn't become one

in his first because Republicans like to

say why are you so afraid he's going to

become Hiller when you saw an entire

term and he didn't become Hiller and

here was the best argument all right I'm

not saying I agree age with it this is

the best argument that in his first term

he didn't have the option of you know

stacking all the government entities

with his own people so he had a lot of

people who were kind of frankly

anti-trump in his own

Administration so if he tried to take

any kind of dictator power there were

just so many people in his own

Administration who wouldn't be up for it

that it wasn't really possible but he's

had time since his first Administration

is Consolidated power so all the

Republicans are under his control or at

least the ones in key departments and

stuff you know the Attorney General will

be the Supreme Court or his nominations

Etc and that by consolidating power

which he's done over time his second

term would allow him unprecedented power

to become this dictator that they fear

what do you think of that by the way

that's the first time I've heard that

argument and I have to say that at least

at least it has some bones on it you

know at least it's not just some

you just made up by sitting in

a room and imagining things I mean

there's it is a reality I would I would

concur with the um the assumptions the

assumptions that he's Consolidated

support and it will probably show up in

this

Administration that seems fair but

here's the part that's

missing please describe to me

and by you you saw this with January 6

where people said can you describe to me

how that protest could have turned into

taking over a country what what was the

mechanism was the person with the

nuclear football going to say whoa looks

like we got new leaders here's the

football like describe it in some way

that doesn't sound crazy you can't there

there is no path that a bunch of

protesters in one building takes over a

country

it's absurd now let's do the same thing

with

Trump imagine Trump decided to do some

dictator

stuff do you really think the

government's going to be okay with that

see it could be the things that you know

maybe Democrats think are dictator

Republicans would think would be normal

Republican policies so there's some of

that but under what situation could

Trump remain in power for the rest of

his life and get away with

that the Democrats have never met a

republican I think maybe never met one

because there's no Republican who's okay

with a republican

dictator none the whole Republican

situation is

Constitution you know the the falty is

always to the Constitution and why do

they like

Trump because he's compatible with the

Constitution the moment he became not

compatible with the Constitution he

would lose 100% of support he would lose

Don Jr he would lose a

vonka not and and I don't mean that as

hyperbole he would literally lose his

own family support there is no situation

in which he can just say I'm 81 years

old I think I'll be the

dictator nobody's going to say yes to

that nobody in the military nobody in

this administra

his own Chief of Staff would shoot him

whoever it is right like it's the it's

the smallest risk I've ever seen of any

risk in the United States the smallest

risk there's none but you have to be

deeply gaslighted to think that there's

a path between some protesters moving

electr and controlling the nuclear

Triad or that Trump you know has some uh

let's say strong leader tendencies

and then somehow the entire Republican

party would cast off the

Constitution what kind of thinking gets

you to

that that that's a complete

misunderstanding of boundary complete

misunderstanding anyway uh rasmason did

some polling on media bias 61% of likely

voters think the bias in the news is

getting

worse um 45% agree with the statement

um that no matter how much you hate the

media it's not enough 45% that's almost

exactly

Republicans uh 28% disagree 27% Nots

sure so that means that more than half

of the

country wasn't really noticing that the

media had become the enemy hadn't

noticed now I didn't do the 25% thing

this time because the the disagree and

the not sure I think they should be

lumped together as more than half of the

country all right uh you can tell what

news people are watching if they're not

so sure that the media is a problem it

means they're only watching One Source

and they believe it's

true God I feel sorry for him well

speaking of the news I'm going to call

this

episode this next story Ducey versus

dummy so uh um is it

which Ducey is it Peter or Steve Peter

it's Peter duy right the young

one and uh he asked this of Ken John

Pierre um Biden is the sharpest before

800 p.m. so say that the Pentagon at

some point picks up an incoming nuke

it's 11: p.m. who do they call the first

lady who do they call the first lady do

you know what's funny about that

that that is the correct answer because

if you're going to wake up the president

and you know the president may have some

medical issues you're actually going to

call the first lady that is actually the

person you would call like no

joke absolutely seriously they would

call the first lady because she would be

the one to make the call whether the

president can make the call like if if

if you're in a hurry you wake up the

First Lady you say here's the deal do

you have any chance of getting him

coherent in the next 10 minutes and the

first lady says either yes or no but you

do call the first lady first that

actually was a perfect question and I

think it was right on point I do think

literally it wouldn't make any sense to

call the president

first especially if they're in the same

bed if they

are well Biden is so confident that

Google is biased that he says Google he

did a post on X that just said Google

project

2025 now that's the Heritage Foundation

has a big list of what they think a

conservative President should do if

elected Trump has said hey that's not my

plan you know my plan is this plan and

he gives the Republican platform now

there are some differences but also a

lot of overlap because it's Republicans

right of course one big plan by

Republicans is going to have a lot of

overlap in the ven diagram with any

other plan by Republicans but there are

some big

differences which uh of course Joy Reed

doesn't show when she shows them next to

each other she just shows the ones that

are the

same of course but imagine how how

biased Google must be that Biden can say

to Google project 202 so it makes it

sound like it's not him well it's not me

why don't you just Google it with

totally independent source and you'll

see all the you'll see all the totally

independent sources at the top of the

search list that will tell you you know

everything that I want you to know do

you do you think he could admit any

more

clearly that Google search is biased

that's all I hear I hear you can't trust

Google that's what that sounds like to

me well CNN said it's going to cut a 100

jobs and uh launch its uh first CNN

subscription product later this year to

which all of you just said what CNN

recently cancelled its subscri

subscription project called CNN plus so

what is it this new

one well let me give you some

insight I can't imagine how that would

work I don't know who would buy a

subscription to CNN but maybe we'll see

maybe they did some

research all right

um so remember uh I think I told you had

a conversation with Michael lean black

in which I had claimed provocatively

that uh all news is fake I double down

by saying all data is fake all data is

fake

now there there's some weird like

special exceptions to that you know if

you're if you're looking at the output

of a specific one

machine that might be right for example

if you were testing the highp speed or

the gas mileage of one engine in a car

yeah that might be right but most data

that we use for making big decisions you

know the employment data the you know

the inflation data GDP all that stuff

that's all fake now why do I know that

the reason I know it is that I worked in

an environment for many years my

corporate life in where in which it was

my job to put data together in a variety

of different you know projects and ways

and then tell management what the right

thing to do was based on the

data you don't have to do that that job

for long to learn that all data is fake

because I got to ignore the data that

didn't give me the answer I didn't want

I got to tweak the data with my

assumptions until I could make it do

whatever I wanted which was whatever the

bosses wanted it's all

motivated all data about the big

decisions of Life are motivated somebody

wants you to think something if I had

found data that was bad for my company

or my department would you ever see it

of course not of course not so let's say

I found some data that was accurate and

it was good for my department or good

for my company so then I publish it do

you say to yourself oh well sometimes

they publish real stuff so this might be

real well it might be

real but that's a

coincidence what's true is I'm only

going to tell you what's good for me

whether it's real or not right so if you

don't know that credibility and Truth

are different concepts no data is

credible that's a little different than

saying none of it is true

but if it's not

credible it's as useless and maybe

worse than if it were just

wrong it's it's both the same thing you

get to the same place you should not

make decisions using it whether it's

wrong or you can't tell because the

people gave it to you can't be trusted

here let me give you a specific example

to get to round this

out if my technology works over on um

all right this will be a adventure let's

see if my technology

works damn it is it really not

working all right I think it'll work

there we

go got

it uh and then you just disappeared so

let's see if this

works oh is it really not going to

work good Lord

oh my God I just want to shoot myself

right

now well I can make it work with but a

different way because I put it on my

phone so on

Instagram um I saw uh Dr Peter

petera uh with a diagram that shows the

let's see the health spending per capita

so how much health care is spending per

person and then life expectancy you see

that the us has a a relatively low life

expectancy but a the highest

spending so what does that tell you we

have the highest spending for the lowest

life expectancy of these major other

countries that we would be comparable

to so that tells you what what's your

conclusion is your conclusion that we

spend too much relative to what we get

is that your conclusion because I think

that's what Dr AA is telling you that

we're we're not very efficient that we

spend too much and we don't get enough

from our healthare is that what you see

in those

numbers well let me ask a few questions

and see if these came to your mind when

you saw them number one do you think

that all of these countries measure

healthc care spending the

same for example is cosmetic surgery

considered Health Care spending in

Japan or does Japan have as

much of it if it if let's say if

everybody put it in the number I don't

know if they do but would you put

optional Health Care spending in there

if you just spent your own money and

went to a a cosmetic

surgeon would that be in healthc care

spending the doctor does

it right I don't know but you don't know

either do you we don't know so what if

it's in some of these numbers in these

countries and others not because if you

look at the difference that big bar at

the top is the American spending if the

only difference if the only difference

was our cosmetic surgery that would be

most of the difference wouldn't it how

about this if you comparing let's say uh

Japan to the

US in Japan you have mostly

Japanese there far less they there's

actually a story today that Japan is

getting pro-immigration compared to the

past so they do have more diversity than

they ever had but still Japan is more

Japanese people in Japan you know uh

there's a high

percentage so should it does it make

sense to compare the outcomes of Japan

to the outcomes of the United

States not exactly if you're trying to

figure out if we're spending too much on

Healthcare you should look at just the

Japanese Americans shouldn't you if you

compare the Japanese Americans to Japan

do you think there would be a big

difference the answer is no there

wouldn't be I

checked so are we really spending too

much if the a if the Japanese Americans

living in America are living the same

amount as the Japanese were living in

Japan it's just other ethnicities who

aren't doing

well that that should be included I mean

that's got to be part of the analysis

but I don't see it how about the fact

that the black

Americans have high unemployment and

high crime rates and therefore and also

you know a lot of overdoses and uh death

by murder Etc if you took out just the

black population and looked at the rest

of

America would it look like this

or would our health our life expectancy

be

longer it'd be longer so part of what

your measuring is just that we have more

diversity than the other countries and

within that diversity you got groups

that have pretty good life expectancy

and people who have you know really

alarmingly low because of poverty and

violence and all the bad things so

that's not giving you a clear

picture how about

diet what about diet

we know that the the American diet is

unusually bad and we're unusually

obese would you expect to see way more

spending on health care and way less

good results if the only thing that was

different was we were eating and

the French were eating good

food and of course we've all heard the

stories that if you go to France or

Europe and you eat the bread you don't

get bloated and sick but if you eat the

same food in America because they use a

different process you feel terrible

immediately some

people so those are a few things um

let's

see and what about the quality of the

health care suppose uh let's take my

experience so I have Kaiser Permanente

so it's a HMO situation if I want to get

into to see my doctor I could pretty

much do it by today or

tomorrow today or tomorrow

and they could refer me to a

specialist and I'd get in there pretty

quickly I can get tests done just

because I want them I can email my

doctor get all kinds of tele medicine

can they do that in all the other

countries well I don't know but what I

do know is if you're comparing our

health care they're not they're not even

trying to do the same level of

service if if you have a national

healthc care they're going to make you

wait two weeks for an appointment

if you do it in America you're going to

pay extra and you're going to get in

faster now apparently that's not enough

to keep our life expectancy up but

here's my

point Peter AA very you know uh

respected

doctor but is he an expert on data

analysis and even if he were would he

know the assumptions that went into this

study and the answer is probably no and

no

so my point is that when I say all data

is it's this it's this if

you've worked with data you look at this

and you go well I can see three major

problems and I don't know anything about

healthc care spending or life expectancy

you simply have to have experience in

the domain of collecting data to know

that when you look at somebody else's

data you see three big problems and you

know that they didn't solve them because

they're probably not

solvable the databases of all these

countries probably not counting stuff

the same almost certainly not it would

be the rarest thing if the If This Were

apples and Apples to Apples so just take

that learning and say I'm not making a

case just about Healthcare and outcomes

I'm making a case that all data has this

problem that somebody who who's good

with data can see all the problems but

if you're not if you're not experienced

with data

looks right to you even if it's your

domain even if you're a doctor it looks

right to you and then let me end by

saying I don't know if any of the

criticism criticisms I just made are

valid for this study I don't know that

but what I do know is that it's not

credible because I don't know if they

did it because I don't know I I can't

take it

seriously even if it's right

I wouldn't

know well over in Sacramento the City

attorney has threatened Target stores

because Target keeps reporting retail

theft and they've reported retail so

many times theft so many times that the

that the government is having trouble

functioning because they're dealing with

all these reports of thefts and so

rather than solve the thefts they've

decided to let's see um they've issued a

warning to the Target store that it will

face f for reporting so many retail

theft

incidences so democrat or

republican see I'm going to use my

ESP was it a Democrat or Republican

entity that said the solution to

reporting so much crime is to stop

reporting it which would that be

Republican or

Democrat I'm going to go with

Democrat GNA go with Democrat

now I ask

you if you saw some crime data reported

in

California would you say to yourself

that crime data looks pretty credible or

if you had a little bit of experience

with data but you were no expert on

crime could you look at the crime data

and with what you knew about the world

say you know what I don't think they're

collecting the data the way they used to

do you know who would know that that

they're not collecting the data the way

they used to everybody who had

experience with data collection

everybody would know that if you're not

an expert in that domain you'd think

well these numbers look right to me but

they wouldn't look right to anybody who

knew the field of data

collection all

right Sam mman and Ariana Huffington are

teaming up uh on the effort to use AI

for some kind of Health outcomes

basically to be a a health coach to help

people change their lifestyle and their

habits to get rid of chronic

illnesses um I love this I don't know if

it'll

work but I love that powerful capable

people are working on um this to me this

is exactly right if it work if it works

that's great could you really change

lives if doesn't work it was still the

right thing to do right if this doesn't

work for whatever reason absolutely the

right place to put your energy and you

know I use chat GPT all the time now and

one of the things I think I can do that

I haven't tested yet is I'll bet I could

take a picture of a plate of food and it

could and just take pictures of

everything I eat during the day you just

basically every time I eat just snap a

picture of it and then at the end of the

day take those pictures up Lo him into

chat GPT and say how' I do today keep a

keep a running total of my nutrition I

think it can do that already I'm not

positive I don't know if you need a

specialize app but I'll bet I could do

it just by looking at

it so I'm thinking of doing that

actually uh Supreme Court Justice Sodom

um she lives in a neighborhood that

seems a little unsafe because her

bodyguards who are assigned to protect

secret um protect Supreme Court of

justices um somebody tried to carjack

their car outside her home and they

opened fire and shot the uh the

carjacker who

lived now I don't have much to say about

that except that there's an anti-gun

Supreme Court Justice who probably can't

take a walk in her own neighborhood

because of all the guns which she should

say probably would say

if you just make guns illegal we

wouldn't have this problem to which the

proun people would

say if we didn't make guns legal the bad

guys would have them and all of your

cars would be stolen so I guess we're

getting nowhere on that so uh Biden did

his NATO speech it was off the

teleprompter um he doesn't really know

the difference between uh putting

passion into his speech and anger at

this point

yeah so you know this is what passion

would look like and we've really got to

increase the GDP and we've got to help

Ukraine that's what passion would sound

like Biden can't get there he can only

do old man yelling at the the

sky oh oh we're gonna we're gonna raise

taxes we got to raise taxes raise taxes

on the

rich he's so far away from looking

normal but we got used to it didn't

we if you'd never seen all of this other

stuff and the only thing you saw was his

next speech and you didn't know about

the whole dementia thing you would say

to yourself why is he yelling what's

wrong with him but he's so far gone that

he can you know give a angry yelling

speech and people will say well at least

he didn't fall asleep that that looks

like a step in the right direction that

the bar is so low

anyway he did call the Secretary of NATO

and intellectual

wigger I don't know what that means he

looked right at him and he

said he's an intellectual wigger wi g g

r a

wigger what what was he reaching

for I don't think it was going to be an

ethnic

slur but what exactly was he trying to

say when it came out you're an

intellectual

wigger I guess we will never

know well Trump continues to be funny

and uh Kind of Perfect in his

campaigning so people are saying um that

he's he's doing a great job of letting

Biden's trouble be the top line

story so so instead of trump you know

making big news with some Poli policy or

something he he gives Biden a golf

challenge which is kind of perfect a

golf challenge because it's not

serious but it makes he reframes Biden

you know as feeble he said uh he

challenged Joe Biden to an 18-hole golf

match um and he was going to spot him 10

Strokes so he'd give him 10 strokes and

he said if Biden wins Trump will'll give

a million dollars to a charity of

Biden's choice now I think we all know

that Biden can't golf we all know that

right so Trump can make any offer he

wants for free it's just a free punch

and he can just say well look I'll give

you 10

strokes and a million dollars to a

charity you don't want your charity not

to get the million dollars do you all

you have to do is play around to golf

now of course he's not going to say yes

and of course he would lose if he did

so the fact that this is such a

nonserious topic but harmless it's just

a harmless non-serious topic it gives

Trump something to say which worked it

reframed Biden as you know physically

incapable uh but it wasn't such a big

deal that the Democrats have to respond

to it right and what could they say what

exactly could they say oh he will beat

you in Gulf I've seen him man in private

he golfs like

crazy yeah in private he shoots par it's

only when people are watching that he

slips up a little

bit all

right

um so uh Jen uh weager continues to be

hilariously um

normal and when you see a Democrat who

is acting all normal they they stand out

like a sore thumb you're like whoa

what's is he trying is he trying to be

normal and say things that make sense

and stuff so here's what he says the

Democrats are literally asking us to

vote for a person in mental decline for

president of the United States the whole

party must be in mental

decline yes Jen that is a normal smart

reaction to What You observe and boy

does he stand out all that normalness is

looking crazy but I would say it's not

so much a mental decline in the way that

Biden is mentally declining I would say

that there's a weird denial of reality

that happens on the left that is like

unlike anything I've ever seen and I

believe that they do they have

somehow created a fantasy world they can

live in just all the time so they live

in a fantasy world that Trump somehow

could conquer the country through the

force of his will plus his friends in

high places that's

crazy it's just crazy they they

fantasize that they can put together

this speed primary and and uh they put

that together no they can't that's not

going to happen and then they

fantasize that maybe Gavin Nome could

come in and be the head of the party no

we can't if you if you haven't noticed

that Nome could not possibly skip over

the Dei V president you haven't noticed

anything how could you know anything if

you don't know that no Gavin Nome was

never a possibility to be the head of

the ticket never so far away from being

possible that it's a

joke but I don't think that's from

mental illness I think that's Dei and

inability to see cause and effect and

inability to understand human motivation

inability to see things as systems

instead of goals

uh a complete denial of re Rel of

reality basically but not mentally

incompetent it just seems some kind of

weird selection

process

anyway um here's what uh CNN quoted

Trump talking about

kamla now here's a change how often does

Trump get quoted in full insulting KL

Harris or a Democrat it's sort of the

sort of thing that they wouldn't want to

say because it's sort of good for Trump

if it's a good insult so here's what

they quoted on CNN Trump saying what

whatever else can be said about crooked

Joe Biden you have to give him credit

for one brilliant decision picking kamla

Harris as his vice president was the

greatest insurance policy of all time if

Joe had picked someone even halfway

competent they would have bounced him

from his office years ago

it's so

perfect it's just

perfect I tell you that the Trump

campaign it he's just hitting every note

that is perfect it was so perfect that

CNN read it on the air because it's

perfect there's no hyperbole in it and

yet it comes off as hyperbole but it's

literally true it would be hard to argue

with the statement that if the vice

president were just you know clearly a

superstar by now the pressure to get rid

of Biden would have been through the

roof because everybody would say well

the Superstar can beat Trump better than

you can but people are looking at a

degraded mentally incompetent president

and saying you know what well you're

still better than Harris the fact that

even that's a conversation shows that

she is the perfect insurance policy

meanwhile Joy Reed continues her mental

breakdown in public and I don't mean

that as a

joke to me her her mental breakdown

actual form of some kind of insanity or

mental incompetence is very obvious and

if you tell me but Scott let's see your

diploma for being a you know some kind

of expert on Mental

Health have you been alive for the last

year

you realize this is the same thing

that's happening with the news being

surprised that Biden is not mentally

capable oh how about the fact that you

didn't have to be an expert and

everybody who wasn't a liar saw it on

day one I mean we've said for years that

Biden can't make it two terms and here

we are so don't tell me that Joy Reed is

not having a mental crisis she's having

a mental crisis it could not be more

obvious it's not a difference of

politics it's not a difference of

opinion what it looks like is that she

got brain or yeah she looks like she got

gaslighted by her own team it looks like

she believes her own

network same with Rachel

madow just listen to her for five

minutes and you can see extreme mental

health problems that are coming through

with her her work and by the way she

admits to uh you know lifetime of

depression

so she does have genuine mental issues

and you can see that this is making it

worse so to pretend that these are

opinions I'm really so done with that

right it's it's really not

about their opinions being different

that is just mental illness let's call

it out and by the way K Harris looks

drunk to me lots of times when she

appears in public and am I an expert on

addiction

nope but I can spot a drunk

I think you could too I do it actually I

do it all the time I spot drunks on X I

call them out for acting drunk you'd be

surprised how many times they get back

to me and say okay you got me I am drunk

because it's easy to spot you don't have

to be an expert I I've done it in public

a number of times recently where I say

you sound drunk and then they say okay

you got me I'm a little

drunk all right um

but uh don't get cocky so if you're so

smart that you saw Biden's

Decline and you're celebrating I'm so

smart I saw Biden's decline before the

news admitted it did you also think that

Nome had a chance to be the top of the

ticket because if you're bragging about

seeing that Biden wasn't

capable but you didn't know that new is

a white man who doesn't have any chance

of being the top of the ticket if you

didn't know that you can't brag if you

got them both right you could brag a

little I think that would be totally

appropriate if you got the Biden thing

right you got kamla Harris looks like

she has a substance problem and you

guess that the Democrats can never skip

the Dei vice president with the white

guy if you got all three of those

right then you're pretty smart or you

agree with me that's just as good um RFK

Jr was asked about

reparations he says that reparations are

not legal and that there was a Supreme

Court case that would that would confirm

that and he said the only way it could

ever um be legal or funded is if you

could somehow prove a direct connection

like you knew your DNA came from a slave

and you knew where you I don't know what

you'd have to know but you'd have to

know something specific

it would never be good enough that

you're just black and you live in the

United States so apparently the Supreme

Court ruled on something like that that

I didn't know about uh but RFK JR says

it's not an option but he says that

systemic racism against black Americans

is deeply embedded in our prison legal

system education system job Mark access

to Capital and

Beyond so he says the moral argument for

reparations is

compelling I

disagree I agree that the systemic

racism exists exactly as as he described

it that's not connected to the moral

argument for

reparations yeah here here's a better

explanation everybody's got some

wrong everybody's got a

problem that's it the the moral argument

doesn't exist because we all got

problems and all of us could trace it

back to somebody

else yeah you know think I could sue for

reparations I lost two jobs in Corporate

America for being a white male and my TV

show because they decided to have a an

all black Monday night lineup on UPN you

don't think I have a case for

reparations of course I do everybody

else does too that we all got problems

we all got problems and a lot of them

are somebody else's fault you just can't

run a country where if you got a problem

even if it's real and even if it came

from you know the system you can't you

can't give everybody reparations for

that I do agree with the direct ones

like the Japanese internment people were

still alive there were living people

alive who were in them I happen to know

several of them quite

well all

right

um so Duke Medical School uh some new

documentation for their Duke Medical

School uh they claim that white

supremacy culture is uh something you

want to get rid of and you want to get

rid of things like

uh dismantling racism and advancing

Equity the way they're going to do it is

get rid of these white supremacy work

culture things such as being on time uh

dressing

professionally uh your speech and your

workstyle and negative terminologies so

they're going to get rid of of all that

stuff it says that white supremacy

culture is the idea that or ideology

that white people and the ideas thoughts

beliefs and actions of white people are

superior to people of color and their

ideas thoughts beliefs and actions and

that's just wrong says

Duke um it says that that America is

rigged for the interests of white people

who get uh

Privileges and they get they're

unquestioned about their earned set of

advantages entitlements and benefits

bestowed on people solely because they

are

white well not in the country that I

live in in my country being white and

male is about the worst thing

that could happen to you and I wouldn't

wish it on

anybody but sure sure your problems are

bigger than mine how about that yeah

your problems are bigger so we'll do

everything your

way this is this is just dumb

who got in power right whoever

it is who's arguing that to be black

means to not be on time and not dress

well for work it's just a

let's not pretend this is some

kind of ideology right now there there's

C certainly something to it that there's

you

know that that there's some systemic you

know whiteness preferences built into

some things but there are so many things

that the non-white preferen is built

into it's not even close at the moment

it's probably 10 to1 against white men

probably 10 to1 in terms of the weight

of bias but is there a one yes yes there

is there there is definitely

discrimination and systemic racism that

affects black people and other minority

groups it's just that if you want to be

accurate in counting it this being my

theme my theme is that the data is all

motivated if you actually counted up how

many people lost a job this year because

of their color white men would win hands

down how many people know

that if you stop somebody in the street

and say is is a job discrimination by

race real they would of course say yes

because everybody knows it's real then

you would say all right were there more

uh diverse minority people who got

turned down for jobs or more white white

man the average person would probably

say oh minorities of course they would

probably be wrong by 10 to

one meaning it's not

close it's not close it's

10:1 it could be 100 to1 I don't know

probably not 100 to1 but it's probably

10:1 I think that's a fair

estimate all right um

Governor Whitmer does that funny thing

with body language where she says uh the

fact of the matter is that president is

Biden is showing that he's up to the

moment up to the job he's in it to win

it uh now my impression of her head

while she's saying it the fact of the

matter is the president is is showing

that he's up to the moment he's up to it

he's so good he's up to it and her head

is just shaken

though yeah that's one of the easy ones

the spot that in the wideeye

thing uh I think it was John Kirby who

did the wide-eyed thing talking to Brett

Bear yeah' say uh do you think the

president is you know capable of doing

the job and Kirby first looks down he's

like oh can't make eye contact like he's

preparing he's like oh yeah yeah yeah

totally good good uh and then and then

he does the wideeye thing he looks at

Brad Barry goes he's totally good

everything about him seems totally

normal I don't even see a problem he's

so

mentally acute or whatever that word is

I like to say

acuy it's hilariously bad body

language so the only hope that the

Democrats can win is to unite around

some kind of gaslighting idea because

apparently the Democratic caucus met and

uh they decided that they all hate each

other so if you are finding yourself

disliking Democrats here's the good news

for you Democrats agree they just think

it's the other Democrats that are

bad all right um last night on uh the

Five on Fox News uh Greg geld was um

amplifying the idea of trump should talk

directly to some democrat voters and get

it on video and I like the idea of a

lunch um where you edit it so it's so

it's not live uh but Trump just shows up

and talks to some Democrats and teaches

them that he's not heler and they can

ask anything they want and he'll just

answer and just go right to the people

because right now every Democrat is

being filtered through their news and

that's all they know all they know is

what their News tells them they need to

see a democrat in the real world having

a real conversation with a person who's

definitely not

Hiller because it doesn't take long to

figure out he's not a Hiller it takes

like a

second so let's see if anything comes to

that here's uh something that's uh

sounds dangerous but it's the only thing

that keeping you safe probably uh BAGI

sas's pointing out if we ever got in a

war with China do you know what's the

first thing they would do

they sto making our weapons for

us did you know that nearly maybe all of

our major weapon systems require parts

from China and we can't even make that

stuff just think about that our weapons

are made by China so if we got into any

non-nuclear war that was going to last a

while we'd have to ask them to keep

making our weapons hey I I know we're

having a war with you guys but I don't

think it's fair if we don't have weapons

so if you wouldn't mind could you send

us those spare parts that we could put

on our missiles because we got you know

we can make part of a missile we got

part of a missile well we're kind of

going to need those parts that you make

because we don't know how to make that

stuff so now you say to yourself but

that's terrible Scott because that makes

it more likely that China will go to war

cuz because they have control over our

weapons no it's opposite it's opposite

it probably keeps us safe because the

only war that you could have with China

is

nuclear do you get

that because they make our Conventional

Weapons and we can't make them without

them and therefore we couldn't win a war

of attrition there's only one war we

could win and nobody wins a nuclear war

so basically by making ourselves

crippled to China that we can't even

make our own weapons in sufficient

quantity it eliminates the option that

we're going to attack

them and do you know why they won't

attack us because we're their biggest

market so the only kind of War you could

ever have is a stupid War where you

decided to go nuclear and both die and

since nobody wants to do that the odds

of war with China are basically zero

basically zero because our economies are

just too tight and we're not going to

Nuke each other so I would love to see

Trump talk about the reality which is

look there is no scenario in which the

United States and China get into a war

there is none now of course they might

use their military and their local area

you know to put a little muscle and you

know try to try to nudge things that we

might try to use our muscle to nudge

them back but we're not going to get in

a war even if a war started the first

thing we do is stop it say whoa whoa

what are you doing stop that yeah

there's no chance of a war with China

none all

right um and I would say that uh so

China China has introduced their first

all robot Factory so they have what they

call a dark Factory dark meaning

literally they don't need to turn on

lights because the robots don't need

light

so they have you know Many Many Robots

building from scratch I think a phone

device I'm not sure I think it was a

phone but no

humans now you say to yourself but Scott

that's terrible because robots will take

all our jobs but I would argue the

following if robots can do the entire

Factory doesn't that mean that we could

have entire

factories making stuff that we can't you

normally make

the problem the reason that we don't

have uh American

manufacturing is largely because we lost

the skill but if robots are learning to

do that skill for us and AI can solve

let's say the paperwork and get things

approved because that's a pain in the

ass

to it could be the AI and robots brings

manufacturing back to every country so

there's no country that needs to have

some other country manufacturer because

the other country is just going to use

robots you can use robots

locally there there's no minimum wage

Advantage so as long as no people are

involved and looks like China's going to

put their own population out of work we

can just have robot factories and get

our manufacturing back so I think that's

going to

happen I think America needs to become a

vacation destination and needs to work

on it fast because I think we're going

to have some minimum um income

eventually because the robots will take

all the jobs and I think that people

still need something to

do so if you said to people like me okay

you're not going to have your normal job

but how would you like to I don't

know uh work in the restaurant that's on

the bike path so that people visit the

United States and they take a vacation

they're on their ebike running across

the country and they stop at your

restaur rest I would say actually that

sounds kind of fun I'd do that I I'd run

a restaurant on a bike path I I would

enjoy getting up and going to work

so I think and of course robots would do

the hard work in the restaurant too but

you still need some people in that

environment so to me it seems like we

need to figure out how to become a

vacation destination for the rest of the

world because we're not going to have

anything else that they need nobody will

nobody will have anything to sell except

experiences eventually so we need we

need to make America an experience and

one that everybody has to go to like

Mecca short of that I think we're in a

lot of trouble because what else do you

have to offer eventually nobody will

have anything to offer anybody because

the robots will bring the cost down so

far so either energy we either have to

be the biggest you know modular nuclear

power company

or AI or robot makers but there aren't

that many jobs in the

future anyway the Gaza here that was a

disaster is going to be taken down

that's the whole story the problem is

that that Gaza Pier that the US built to

deliver stuff to Gaza is Visual and it

was a failure you don't want to do

something that's both Visual and a

failure so they finally just said all

right we can't have more pictures of

this thing being a debacle we're going

to have to clean it up and they're just

going to take it away for another

bazillion dollars all right ladies and

gentlemen probably ran really long

didn't mean to do it I'm GNA say bye to

uh X and YouTube and Rumble and I'm

going to talk to my beloved subscribers

for a little

bit uh privately so see you tomorrow

hope you enjoyed it bye for

now we private and local

[Music]

in oh shoot it's not

working

oh all right so the button's not working

so all of the shows that I just did will

be deleted because they can't end so if

the studio Falls you know when the

rumble Studio can't kill them I have to

kill them so that they don't run forever

which means that the recorded versions

will be deleted so every everything you

saw uh you're not going to be able to

watch later um on locals we won't have

to delete it on locals it'll be a fine

but I think X I have to delete I might

be able to save it on Rumble and

YouTube but X I'll have probably have to

delete it otherwise it just runs forever

I can't stop it all right I'll see if I

can end even any of the

stream nope

all right so not only can I not go to

locals but I can't end the

stream so I'm going to have to just

leave the studio and then kill the

streams that I can kill

separately oh wait maybe it works nope

didn't

work all right see you back here

tomorrow e
