View segment →Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. There's never been a better time in your life. And if you'd like to enjoy this experience at levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or a glass or a tankard or a chalice or a stein or a canteen or a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.
Ah, that's some good sipping.
Well, Peter Navarro is getting freed today. Is he already freed? Has anybody heard from him yet? I always wonder about the day that you're supposed to be freed from prison. Did they make it happen right away? Because I always wonder, do you wake up in the morning and say, "Oh, today's the day I go free," and then you call the guard over and say, "Today's the day, today's the day I go free." Then the guard looks at you and says, "That's after the shift. That's at 5:00." You're like, "Wait a minute. Today's the day I go free. I don't go like when I wake up?" No, sort of an end-of-day thing. You got to serve some more jail today. How's that work? Somebody says he's already out. It seems like they would do it first thing in the morning, doesn't it?
All right, well, we'll celebrate that in a bit. No, we're going to celebrate now with a sip of coffee. Who's with me? Peter Navarro sip of coffee. Peter, if you're watching, glad you're out. It's about time. Stronger, probably. Go.
All right. Everything seems to be going Trump's way, directly and indirectly. Seems like God has chosen him. I don't know if that's true, but it looks like it. Do you know how many coincidences or events it takes before somebody who doesn't even, I'm not even a believer, but even I think it looks like God has chosen Trump? It's getting harder and harder to deny at this point.
All right. He's out. Peter Navarro is out anyway.
Gold Bar Bob, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, he's found guilty of taking money from some Egyptian people. As Greg Gutfeld said last night on Gutfeld, he sounded like a pyramid scheme because he took money from Egyptians. Oh, anyway, it's pretty funny. But also from a Qatari or their government. So here's the question. Isn't it lucky that there was just that one criminal in Congress? Thank goodness we got that one guy who's trading favors for money. We finally got that one guy. It makes me think he must have pissed off the intelligence service or something. He must have made somebody mad who normally would just let things go. It's like, we can make some kind of an example out of Gold Bar Bob.
Well, there's an update on Biden's brain. Apparently before Trump was nearly assassinated, he had a Zoom call with a bunch of moderate Democrats. And the call went like this: "President Biden, what do you plan to do to resurrect your campaign and get it going again?" Well, anyway, so something like that. So reportedly it was bad. It was really bad. But here's what I don't understand. How was it that he looked completely coherent in the evening when he talked about the assassination attempt? How did they drug him up? Or is it just totally random? Because he looked presidential, but he couldn't do a Zoom call earlier that day. This is all very mysterious.
Well, so Biden is talking about Supreme Court limits. Well, actually term limits. And I saw in the comments that some people are saying that he can't do it, he doesn't have the authority. And the interesting thing would be if he tried to institute term limits and there was a legal objection and it got appealed. Am I wrong that the Supreme Court gets to decide on its own whether it can have term limits? Because it will decide whether the ruling was constitutional or not. Do we have the absurd situation where the Supreme Court will vote on whether they get fired? Now that'll be fun. I'm assuming there'll be all kinds of legal analyses that are arcane and weird and don't seem obvious.
But unconfirmed miracle drugs. What are we talking about? Somebody's talking about the miracle drugs to get Biden to talk. Okay, I'm on.
Rasmussen has a poll on what people think of the shooter's motives. Forty percent of likely voters think he's just mentally ill. But forty-one percent believe it was mainly caused by the Democrats, basically the rhetoric against Trump. So forty-one percent of the country believes that the way Biden and the Democrats were talking caused an assassination attempt. And I've got a feeling that some of those forty percent who just think it's mental illness, do they think Trump was chosen randomly? If your opinion was that the reason for the shooting was mental illness, do you think he randomly chose the president or randomly from mental illness? Now, mental illness or not, he picked a specific person and the hardest one to get. So it had to be a little bit about something about Trump. And how would a twenty-year-old know anything about Trump? Their opinions are assigned by the media. These are assigned opinions. So I would say that the forty percent who say he's mentally ill is really the same as the forty-one percent who said it's caused by the rhetoric. To me this looks like eighty-one percent of people think the rhetoric caused it. Now if he was also mentally ill, you know, that's a contributing factor. But certainly the rhetoric, no matter what, no matter how sane he was, he didn't randomly pick the guy that they've been calling Hitler for years.
So then there's a quote from JD Vance that says the central premise of the Biden campaign is that Trump was an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. And the rhetoric led directly to the attempt of assassination. Apparently sixty-one percent of likely voters agreed with that quote. So that would suggest that at least some of the people who thought mental illness was part of it also think the rhetoric was part of it too. So that makes sense. Split the difference.
All right. So Dan Bongino, who I would consider one of the best voices on the whole topic of how the shooter did what he did and the Secret Service, etc., Bongino is the one to listen to. He's got the best insight on that, I would think. But he said he had an unimpeachable source that there was a police officer whose job it was to secure that area, apparently did not show up for work. And there's no word yet why. Is there an update on that? I didn't see an update this morning. But the unimpeachable source says there should have been somebody on the roof and the roof guy didn't show up. But we don't know why the roof guy didn't show up.
Now that still makes the possibility that there was some shenanigans, because we don't know why the roof guy didn't show up. However, I remind you that so far every single part of the story is consistent with the Dilbert filter that people are way less capable than you imagine they are and that people can make way more mistakes than you think possible. And DEI has probably infected the competence of the entire operation. Plus they had temps. I call them temps. They weren't the regular crew. So you had lots of reasons for incompetence. But I will admit that every part of the story is also compatible with a wild plot. I don't know how you can rule it out exactly. How do you rule out, well, there was a secret plot that we can't find? But let me show you this if I can make this work.
Here's a, Peter Duke went through the effort of putting together an aerial map that shows the location of stuff. Now you can't see it too clearly on my screen. If you want to see the good one with the high resolution, go to my feed on X. It'll be there this morning. And anyway it shows the locations of the shooter, the people who got shot, and some locations that the people who were conspiracy theorists might have, not be right, but the conspiracy theorists are imagining a second shooter and they think they see evidence of it, etc.
I'm going to say that confirmation bias would get you all the way there. Meaning that even though you're pretty sure that you've seen evidence that the shot could not have come from one place and there must have been multiple shooters and you heard too many and something bounced off a railing and somebody got shot who was in the wrong place, it couldn't have happened, must have been somebody else. So anyway, all that stuff is swirling around. In my opinion the hypothesis that it was part of a bigger plot and somebody else was involved is still live. That's a live hypothesis. The competing one that it was just massive incompetence like we see everywhere else all the time is also fully alive. So you've got two theories that are living completely. I mean both of them, you can't put a glove on them. I'd love to say that the Dilbert filter that it's just incompetence is the one that's better because the other one has some flaws. But the other one doesn't really have any flaws. It looks completely consistent with some kind of a larger plot. Doesn't mean it is, but it seems completely consistent with that.
Now one of the things we found out is that the shooter had a remote control and had a bomb, or actually two bombs, in his car in the parking lot. And people are saying, what's that for? They also say, how did he know how to make a bomb with a remote control? Is that something you could look up on the internet? And if he was looking up that kind of stuff on the internet and he didn't have any social media presence, none of this makes sense, does it? And if you could make an IED that you could detonate from a distance, wouldn't he use that? And why did he have it in the first place? If he's going to shoot, why does he need the IEDs? Somebody said it would be to create a diversion. So you shoot the president, you blow up a car, everybody looks at the car, you run away. Maybe. I've got a feeling it was more that he wanted to, if he got into the car, I think he was thinking to himself that if he escaped long enough to get into the car and if they caught him in the car, it would be better to blow up the car with himself in it. So it might have been a future suicide attempt in case he got halfway escaped and they pulled over the car and then he could blow up the car and something like that. So we don't know. But I have real questions about a guy who could put together a remote control bomb. I don't know how. I have no idea how hard that is. I mean obviously it happens in the Middle East all the time, but it seems like that's a little bit suggestive of some help.
Now do you believe that he has no social media or do you believe they're hiding it from you? Because here's the professional liar tell. I've told you that there's regular liars, just politicians, right? All the politicians are just sort of normal liars. But then there's a special elite group of liars that the Democrats bring out when they've got the big lie, the really big ones, the ones that nobody else is even willing to talk about because it's just ridiculous. So Swalwell is already out. And Swalwell is one of the group of designated liars that they sent out when they've got a whopper to tell. And he's telling that the shooter was a registered Republican and that he had Trump signs at his house. Do you know what Swalwell left out? He doesn't have a house. It's his parents' house. He lived with his parents. But the person who lives with the parents doesn't get to decide what signs are on the front lawn. So there is evidence that the parents are Republican. There is evidence that the shooter is registered as Republican. Now if the shooter registered as Republican, does that mean anything? Maybe yes, maybe no. I'm a registered Democrat and you're listening to me. So you can't trust what people register as. I can confirm that. So we don't know if that means anything.
We saw pictures of him wearing an American flag shirt not too long ago, which suggests he had some patriotic leanings, which suggests a little more Republican leaning than not. He obviously was comfortable with a gun and guns in the house, which again is suggesting Republican. But the fact that Swalwell is the one who has to come out and tell you he was a Republican strongly suggests that they know that's not the case. He's an indicator of the opposite. So if you see Swalwell, Schiff or Brennan or Clapper, they're all opposite guys. Whatever they tell you, it's the opposite. Because they only bring them out when they've got a whopper to tell. It's pretty consistent.
All right. Now by the way, if you wonder why I sound like I'm healthy today and last night I sounded like I was going to die, if you heard me on the man cave livestream, I had some kind of allergic reaction. So I thought I was dying of COVID last night, but it was some kind of massive allergic reaction. All better now. So it wasn't sickness. It was something else. I do blame my sloped roof. I was feeling fine and then somebody said, "But Scott, you have a sloped roof." Next thing I know I was near death. So sloped roofs, very, very dangerous. Stay away from them.
Well, Jake Tapper and the CNN crew got layered, as they say. Laura Loomer did the, what do you call it, the sneak attack where they're walking from one place to the other and you try to yell at them interview questions that they're not going to ask. So I guess there were three different entities that all are after CNN for being fake news. There's no real story to that except that CNN became the news. Have you noticed that the news is the news? Right? Because even though we're talking about an assassination attempt, that's the top news. What was the main cause of the assassination attempt? Well, according to the Rasmussen poll, there's a pretty big chunk of Americans who say the news is the problem. The news. Because would you even know that the Democrats were saying bad things about Trump? Well no, it's the news. It's not that the Democrats said it. I think if the only thing that happened was Democrats said bad things, you'd say, "Ah, politics." But if you turn on the thing you think is your news and it's MSNBC and you see people who you think know more than you because they're the news and they're telling you that Hitler is going to get reelected, maybe you believe it. So I would say the news is the news. I think the news is the cause of the assassination attempt. I think the news is the reason you believe the fine people hoax because they won't debunk it. I think the news is the reason you believe the January 6 hoax. Other people do not. We'll talk about that.
So really the news is the news. And I think Jake Tapper is the news. He's not just the person who reported. He's the news. Because why has he been saying the things he's been saying? By the way, I don't think he's the worst of the worst or anything. He's just in that conversation. So yeah, once the news becomes the news, you need to correct. Yeah, you're going to have to find something.
All right. I don't know if you saw the story. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, who some people think is my clone but he's not, he's not my clone. I disavow him because he got, he was on a podcast making some assassination jokes. I'm not going to repeat it, but he made an assassination joke. And what some people think was too soon. Now I feel that it wasn't so much a too-soon story. You know, I'm not the one who's going to cancel somebody for a joke, even one I don't like. You know, I have to be consistent. I'm not the one who's going to cancel somebody for a joke, even a poor-taste joke. I tell jokes in poor taste nearly every day, often in public. So it's more revealing about what they actually think. And I do think that there are quite a few people who want people like me to be literally dead, like actually literally dead. Now why is that? Is it because they accurately know things I've said? Is it because they accurately know things Trump has said and done? No, it's the news. The news is the story again.
If you think this is a story about Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway having some opinions you don't like that were stated in a way that became public, that's not exactly the story. The story is they're victims too, meaning that they are just as brainwashed as most of the world actually. So the brainwashing is the story and it's the news. The news is brainwashing people to say things that when you look at them you say, "My God." But moreover it also tells you something about their bubble. How did you not know that that would be taken really, really badly? Because they act like, you know, people are going to love it. I think that's the problem. That Jack Black Tenacious D concert that got cancelled because one of the bandmates said something pro-assassination. I think that you say that in front of a crowd of people because you're so in your bubble that it doesn't occur to you that half of them might be deeply, deeply offended by that. And they were. Probably, I don't know if it was half, but a lot.
Anyway, Biden apparently, his Department of Energy has an AI roadmap. Now you might say, what does the Department of Energy have to do with AI? Well, AI will suck up massive amounts of energy, so much there wouldn't be enough left for human beings literally. So we've got a really big problem and it might not be solved by building more power plants because it takes a long time to build a nuke facility, for example. But one of the things they want to do is figure out how to make AI supercomputers more energy efficient, which totally seems like that's worth doing. So in our highly contentious world I'd like to say that looks like good work. I have no problem with that. I think having my government do some kind of a nationalist initiative to try to make the AI supercomputer more energy efficient so it doesn't suck up all our energy and we all die in the fields, that just seems like a solid good idea. So sometimes we can say that the Biden administration did something right. I hope this is it. I don't know all the details but I hope.
Well, meanwhile some what are being called Trump allies, you have to watch out for this story. That's your first signal that there's something up. A Trump ally? What's that tell you? I haven't even told you the story yet. But if it starts with Trump allies, it's going to be something that somebody's going to try to smear Trump with that did not come from Trump. You all know that, right? Any story that starts with Trump allies, because that's how the Project 2025 thing started. And then Trump has to explain, I basically don't know what's in there. What I heard I don't like. Right? But then people say, oh but they're your allies. And then I heard Van Jones saying that the Republican Party hasn't done enough to get rid of the white supremacists, the racists in the party. Now how dumb do you have to be as a consumer of news to think that's a good point? That the Republicans haven't done enough to get rid of the bad people in the party. You know that Republicans don't have any control over that, right? They can't excommunicate people. People can register any way they want and then they can say anything they want and then they can vote. Free speech is still possible even if you hate it, which is really the entire point of free speech, is that it allows the stuff you don't like. And what are the Democrats doing to get rid of their bad people?
I mean, so even Van Jones has retreated to a really stupid point. Let me be blunt. And I know he's too smart to think it's a good point. So if a smart person has to use a stupid point that somehow Republicans could excommunicate the people they don't like in the party, if all he's got left is a stupid point, and you know he knows it's stupid because he's smart, right? If he were stupid I'd say, hmm, does he not know that's a bad point? No, he's very smart. He knows it's a bad point. It's all he's got. They're basically out of ammunition. So you got to go to the stupid stuff. Really. And we'll talk about January 6 in a bit.
All right. So anyway the Trump allies have crafted an AI executive order that they'd like Trump to sign on to. And it's been viewed exclusively by the Washington Post. Do you see the second tell? Do you think the Trump allies are really ones that Trump has endorsed to do this work for him? No. And do you think if it were Trump allies and Trump liked it and the allies were all on the same page, do you think that it would be released only to the Washington Post? Or maybe leaked. We don't know if it was released or leaked. No. The Washington Post is not a credible entity. The Trump allies are not a credible description of anybody. And they have some kind of Manhattan Project idea for a military AI and slashing burdensome regulations. I would say I would not believe any part of that story. It could be some elements are true, but it's coming from such a non-credible place you should just discount it entirely. If later some credible entity that's not the Washington Post says it's true, well then maybe upgrade the likelihood there's a story here. Then you got to see who these Trump allies are because you know how much have they actually talked to Trump about any of this? And would JD Vance think it's a good idea? Would Vivek think it's a good idea?
By the way, how much do you love the fact that nothing stupid can get to Trump anymore? Think about it. Trump now has a smart filter that he surrounded himself with that's largely impenetrable. There is no way that something just stupid is going to get all the way to Trump and turn into a policy. Because you've got Vivek standing in the way. You've got JD Vance standing in the way. You've got Elon Musk standing in the way. You've got most of Silicon Valley's smartest venture capitalists, we'll talk about in a moment, standing in the way. Now he didn't have that before, right? He did not. He had smart people of course, but he didn't have that. That's like an impenetrable shield of high-IQ people who are going to make sure that the dumb doesn't get to Trump. And if it does, it's not going to stick. They're going to give him a Silkwood bath if he gets any dumb in there. So I've never felt so confident about a presidency. You know, fingers crossed that becomes Trump. He is assembling the most credible team.
And then we heard today that there's some talk of Jamie Dimon being considered for Treasury. Now I can't imagine that he would ever take that job because Jamie Dimon has like the best job ever if you're in that space. And working for the government and working for Trump is pretty much putting a target on your back. So I can't imagine you'd take the job. But I love the fact that it's not crazy. I mean Jamie Dimon did say, hey, you know, Trump got some things right. Which is not being a Trump supporter. That's not a Trump supporter. He's just saying, you know, the criticism is a little off base. Could he do it? The fact that we're even talking about it as a possibility when Jamie Dimon was being talked about as a potential replacement for Biden is kind of phenomenal. I mean if you think about what that would look like in terms of unity, it would be incredible.
Now I would say to Jamie Dimon, if I were advising you, what's good for you in your life, don't do it if you get asked. That's going to be a tough assignment. You know, you might want to keep your reputation intact. But if you've got the guts and if you're the patriot that I actually think you are, it would be a hell of a service to the country, assuming that the story is real and it's really being considered and it really gets offered. It would be a hell of a service. And I for one would have extreme gratitude for anybody who took that kind of a just a pure risk for the benefit of the country. There's nothing in it for Jamie Dimon. There's nothing in it. But if he did it, that would look like pure, pure service. So I don't expect it because that's a lot to ask for anybody, especially if they have a family and you know everything else. But wow, just the fact that it's even being considered is quite interesting.
All right. Fed is looking at cutting some rates. That's your good news, bad news. The Fed doesn't look at cutting rates unless the economy is starting to drag and unemployment isn't as good as it should be. But we're always going to put a political spin on everything, right? So if the Fed cuts the rates, it's going to look positive for the economy. The stock market presumably will go up. It's going to help Biden's argument. Hey, look what I've done. The economy loves me. And then of course the people who are smarter than that will say, but the stock market is a forward indicator which is really already priced in Trump. So it's already a Trump market. I'm just going to say it. The stock market is a Trump market from now on. Is that fair? Would you agree it's a Trump market? I think it's going to respond to what they expect Trump will do from this point on because he's the presumed winner.
All right. Elon Musk says he's moving two of his headquarters out of California. So he's moving the X people and he's moving the SpaceX headquarters out of California. And he says the reason is that California's new law that basically tells schools that they can transition your kid without your knowledge. Now that's my own description. That's not what anybody smart would say. What smart people would say, the schools are not required to tell parents if the child is identifying as a different gender, I guess. Now is anybody okay with that? I have real questions. Is there any parent anywhere, Democrat or Republican, is there any parent who thinks that's a good idea for their own children? You know, maybe they think it's a good idea for your kids or something. But I feel like there's no actual human being who has children who thinks that's a good idea. That sounds like something that childless people would say. Like what parent would ever give up their own rights over their own children? No matter what the right was, why would a parent ever give up a right that involves their own children? I don't understand how there's even one person who could be in favor of that. I've never heard the argument. What's even the argument? Because the argument is presumably something like the parents don't have the best interests of the kids in mind in some cases. I assume that's the argument, right? But what parent would be in favor of that? There's no parent who would be in favor. So did people without kids make decisions for people with kids? I don't know what went on there. I don't know how such an absurd thing could happen.
Now I do suspect that Elon Musk had a bit of a fake, meaning that he was already talking about moving X. That conversation was happening. And if he's going to move X and the SpaceX, gravity is already in Texas or someplace else, you know it just makes sense. He wanted to consolidate his businesses where he spends more time. So it probably just means less travel for him and fewer taxes, fewer problems with the state messing with you. But I do like the fact that he tied it to a political event and allowed his communication to be louder because it was tied to an economic event. So it makes it look clear that California is giving up a lot of money to have these ridiculous laws. That law is just batshit crazy. There's nothing to even argue about it. It's just batshit crazy. You can't take the parents out of raising a decision as basic as the kids. Oh anyway, I don't have to argue it because you're all on the same page. Well let me test. Is there even one person in the comments who thinks that's a good law? I don't even have to look, do I? There's not one person here. I don't know how that gets approved. Quite a mystery.
Well, last night at the Republican National Convention was enemy unity night, I guess. Nikki Haley was there endorsing Trump. And Vivek gave a great speech, brought down the house, endorsed Trump. DeSantis endorsed Trump. Now that is good messaging. Because remember the whole point of Trump is he's trying to unite. So if you're going to be a uniter, I can't think of anything better to start that moving than getting the people on your own team to unite. And apparently he has. So the unity among the Republicans is the best I've seen in many years. And that's on Trump. Now it's on the luck of surviving an assassination, but that's on Trump. So during a Trump time the Republican Party came together. The ones who are still anti-Trump are just not serious people at this point. They're not serious people.
There's a question whether Vivek Ramaswamy would accept if he were offered to be the replacement senator in Ohio. And Vivek says he's going to talk to Trump about how Vivek can be the most useful, whether it's that or something else. And I'd love to know what the alternative is. Wouldn't you love to have that option? Hey Vivek, you don't have to even run for election. Could we just make you a senator? And Vivek's options are so good that he can say, I don't know, let me mull that over with my other opportunities. Just try to hold that in your head. Yeah, here's somebody that you never even heard of two years ago or whatever. And he did such a good job running for president even in an ultimate losing effort. He did such a good job that he's literally having a conversation, I don't know, senator without spending any money, without even having to run for it. I don't know. I'll put that on my list of things I'll consider. Do you realize what kind of talent is coming into the administration? Just hold that in your brain for a second. The level of talent that's coming in that even that conversation is a conversation. Is Senate good enough for you? Would like, you know, maybe you should be head of Homeland Security. Is there a better job that would make more sense? Oh, senator is okay. I could settle for a senator. I just love that story.
Anyway, Andre Horowitz, that's a big VC outfit in the Valley, are endorsing Trump now. If you don't know the players and you just heard, oh there's a couple of money people in Silicon Valley who kind of decided to endorse Trump, no that's not what happened. If you're a little closer to the situation, you know I live around here so just by osmosis you end up knowing the players. And Horowitz aren't just two smart guys. They're two smart guys that smart guys look to to figure out how to be smart guys. That's big because they are people who shape opinion. They're not just people with opinions. If you didn't know that you would think this is a small story. But when these two guys go public on the same side and unambiguously endorsing Trump, after you've seen Bill Ackman go, you've seen now there's a pretty long list of VCs who have gone public, come out of the closet. And of course Elon Musk. And Jamie Dimon, he's not supporting Trump as far as we know, but even he said recently some of these criticisms about Trump are a little overblown. So you're seeing people come out of the closet.
Mike Cernovich said in these words today, you can now operate in legitimate society while supporting Trump. Hard to overstate the implications of this for the 2024 election and future. Yep, it is hard to overstate how important that is. It's really hard to overstate it. And of course it was the assassination attempt that gave everybody the fake because that was the ultimate permission. It's like, okay, now we're seeing the things have gone way too far. We can come out under the cover of the, you know, hey, can't be in favor of an assassination. So that's good.
But I would like to thank Cernovich for being one of the biggest fighters for legitimizing the ability to just have an opinion. And I would like to thank everybody who got cancelled, everybody who had been maligned, everybody who lost a job, everybody who went first. Because although Cernovich is correct in pointing out the bravery of the people who were coming out, he was first, right? Like he didn't wait. There are people who ran into the fight first. And you know it's very magnanimous of him to give credit to the people who are coming on board now. They did have big reputations and lots to protect and you understand that it's a, in the real world you have to take care of yourself a little bit. You can't just run into danger. But there are some people who saw the bigger picture faster. And the people who saw the bigger picture faster in many cases made some pretty big sacrifices. And Cernovich is the leading general in that. And I think that has to be called out because you have to look at the whole arc of his work and the level of influence he's had to make this all possible. He was the biggest voice that I saw advocating for JD Vance. I think it made a difference. I definitely think his voice made a difference there.
So there are people that in my mind feel like founders. Because I feel in a very real sense that something like the founding of the country is rehappening. You know, people said we're a dying republic and America, we had our good 200 years and now we're dying. You know what? They were right except they didn't have the timing right. We already died. The founders are reforming the country now. Democrats aren't going to want to hear this, but I don't think it's a coincidence that God saved Trump at the same time that people who look like they're the reincarnation of the founders have just arisen. You know when you've got a Vivek who reminds me of Jefferson, you've got an Elon Musk who reminds you of Ben Franklin. You've got basically you could go down the line and you could map the founders to the current bunch of people. You would map George Washington to Trump. When you saw Trump put his hand up, what was the first thing you thought from history? The first thing I thought was that iconic painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware. And you know Washington is standing up on the boat as if he would stand up on that little boat. But you know, and I'm sure it's not based on a literal picture, but do you feel that America actually did die? I don't think we're trying to recover. I think we died. I think that the Republic was dead. I think that we've been run by some people in the background now for decades and just imagined we had some kind of country.
I do think that the founders have been reformed. There is some kind of larger force that's making things happen that it's just hard to explain in any other filter. Now I remind you I'm not a believer myself, but the filter that fits the best is that God formed America in the first place, didn't like how it was going, let it die, but the economy kept cooking along. And then it was time to reform it. And I'm seeing a new America. I'm not just seeing make America great again. It just looks like it's being reformed almost from scratch, from first principles let's say. From first principles. If you look to Vivek, he's a first principles guy, says it all the time. If you look at Elon Musk, first principles kind of guy, says it all the time. What do all of the venture capitalists, the Andre Horowitz people, what do they all have in common? First principles kind of people. They're basically, wait, let's back it up to what the basic situation is and then reason it from there. Don't just get caught in the rhetoric and the narrative and stuff like that. Let's take it back.
We've never had this many capable people line up on the same side since the actual American Revolution. There's an insane amount of talent that just found each other. Does that feel like a coincidence to you? I mean there's something happening here that's just way bigger than all of us. And it could be just an emergent intelligence. It could be an emerging intelligence. I do believe that humans collectively form a meta intelligence that's bigger than the collection. And it doesn't happen often because it doesn't need to. If you don't have a problem that is existential, you don't need people to form a larger consciousness. We can just all do our own thing, which is what I think we've been doing for a few hundred years, largely doing our own thing. Oh you've got a World War II thrown in there and you better come together for that. But I think that the larger intelligence, which is the combination of all the smartest people who know how to think, not the people who are just the crazy people but the people who know how to think, are finding each other. They're finding the truth and they're going to put massive amount of money behind it and massive amount of reputational risk. And they've decided, you know how I always tell you about the difference between wanting and deciding. There was a lot of wanting of Trump to win. There was a lot of wanting. There wasn't enough deciding. Because deciding means you're going to do whatever it takes. Musk just put his whole life on the line literally. Let me say that again. Elon Musk put his life on the line. That's not an exaggeration because he knows, I mean he's had two attempts on his life just recently. He knows what kind of risk this is. He's not doing this blind. He put his life on the line. That's a decision. That's not, oh you know I'd rather have this candidate. No, that's a decision. He's putting forty-five million dollars a month into the PAC. That's not wanting. That's a decision.
All right. So I think a lot of people have just decided. And if you look at who the deciders are, they're not your average people. There's a lot of deciding going on right now.
All right. Let's see. Ken Dilanian for NBC News. I saw him reporting on this alleged Iranian assassination plot which has been bubbling for a while now. So this is not new news. It's a background news. So it's sort of like context. Context is that US officials have had intel about Iran trying to assassinate Trump for his assassination of Soleimani when he was in office. And allegedly that background threat had prompted the Secret Service to enhance Trump's protection. So what you saw on the day that he was shot was their enhanced protection against Iranian super killers. So their enhanced protection against highly trained Iranian assassins didn't stop the twenty-year-old who borrowed his dad's gun and got a ladder. So if that's the extra super beefed up security against the Iranian super assassins who one imagines would be quite well trained, I think they need a little more beefing up. That's not what I call beefing up.
But if you did not recognize the name I gave you, Ken Dilanian in NBC, I will tell you that allegedly, I have no personal knowledge of this, but I think this is the Glenn Greenwald filter on things, that it would be well known again this is not my own claim. The NBC and specifically Ken Dilanian would be considered the voice of the CIA basically. Now that's not my claim. That's the claim that smart people make. I wouldn't know. But isn't it kind of coincidental that something that would mock up the story would get into the story at just the right time? Now it does seem sort of related but not really. Because if the worry is that the shooter was in fact radicalized by Democrat talking points, then the last thing you want is to not have a counternarrative. It's like, well I don't know. We don't know his motives. It could have been, yeah it just could have been the Iranians got to him. So it just sort of introduces some doubt into something that probably shouldn't have any doubt at all. If an American takes a shot at Trump, is there any doubt that he was radicalized by the media or social media which is also radicalized by the proper media? Not really. It's not one of those questions where you have to question his motive. Now if you say, oh but was influenced by this as well, okay, but still it's because there is no scenario in which you take a shot at Trump just because you worked out the details on your own. That came from somewhere. Twenty-year-olds don't have their own opinions.
I had a conversation with some young people the other day who is not too far from that age of the twenty-year-old who said that all of their friends are starting to hate Biden because Biden is too pro-Israel. And I said to him, do your friends know that Trump is considered like the biggest friend of Israel ever? And they looked at me and said what? Oh yeah. So all your friends who have decided that they don't like Biden because of Israel, they don't know that Israel and Trump are the closest of any couple that have ever been. And they said, oh well actually to be fair nobody my age knows anything. That was the honest answer I got back. Nobody my age knows anything. So then I tossed down a few. I said, well were you aware of this? No. I said, were you aware of this? I've never heard of that before. Were you aware of this? Nope, never heard that. So that's what a twenty-year-old knows. What a twenty-year-old knows is just nothing. And nobody suggests that this was the best informed twenty-year-old. Nobody thinks that.
Now I see MKUltra all over the place. I don't believe that the CIA can hypnotize somebody to be a killer. So speaking as a hypnotist, I don't think that's the thing. You could find somebody who's already ready to be pushed over the edge. So you could maybe tip somebody over the edge. You can't take somebody who wasn't thinking about it and turn them into an assassin. No, hypnosis can do that. Now I mean the exception would be if you completely control them and they saw no other people for three years and you just brainwashed them every day in a secret room. You could do that. That actually would work. But you can't just sort of talk to somebody in the real world, send them some messages, turn them into an assassin. They would have to be right on the edge of tipping anyway and then maybe you could do it. But it'd be hard. I don't think the CIA just hypnotized the guy to go kill the president. My skill set says that's not really a thing. Not really.
But having this Iranian thing in here makes everything a little more uncertain. And why is it that we're hearing so little about the, let me tell you what I would expect to see. Here's the dog not barking. Are you ready? Dog not barking. The twenty-year-old had classmates. All right, now he's out of high school of course, but he had people who knew him in high school. Now apparently he was bullied and he wasn't popular. But has anybody talked to his classmates and said, they say he had no social media. Is that true? His classmates would know if he had social media. Where's that? Now you don't necessarily want to put them on camera because they'd be, well they'd be twenty-two so that'd be fine. So if you had some twenty-year-old people who went to school with him and you say, can you tell me that this is the only twenty-year-old, then he would have been eighteen, who has no social media? Just ask the people who know him. They know for sure. For sure they know if he had social media. They know.
Now I can understand why the people doing the investigation maybe don't want to tell you anything yet because it's an ongoing investigation. But the news, the news knows where he went to school. The news knows his family. The news could easily find his friends. And why isn't the news telling us if he had social media? Because they could. You think they couldn't figure that out? You think there's no way an investigative journalist could find somebody who went to school with you? Just have to find one person you went to school with. Did this guy have social media? Of course he did. Or oddly he did not. Right? So that it's kind of missing. It's kind of conspicuously missing.
Anyway, there's a big headline news today. This is unusual. I mean it's the reason it made news. I've told you before that if a dog bites a man, that's the old saying, that's not news because that could happen. But if a man bit a dog, well that could be news. You know, that's the old saying. So here's one of those. It's, I mean I know you didn't expect this so that's why it's news. Representative Adam Schiff told the truth at a private meeting and made headline news anyway. Next story. Oh you're probably wondering what he said. Well that's not the fun part. What he said was just the truth that you already knew. The story is that Adam Schiff told the truth. That's literally the story. I'm not making that up. The story is that he told the truth. The truth was that he thinks that the Democrats will lose everything if Biden stays in the job. Now don't you believe that that is the truth? It's the truth that it's probably true because you're talking probabilistically. It's probably true. And I probably believe he believes it. So there was nothing new in the idea that the Democrats are panicked about losing everything. So there was no news quality in the fact that there was this one person who believes what everybody else believes. Would you agree? It's not news that there's somebody who believes what everybody else believes. What's news is he told the truth. Just think about that. That's exactly what made it a headline. He told the truth. That is how amazing that is. And he did it on closed doors. So apparently Biden is very sharp behind closed doors. And behind closed doors sometimes Adam Schiff tells the truth. So here's my advice. You should stay away from sloped roofs and closed doors. Y'all.
All right. I posted a message today asking who has the best debunk on the January 6 insurrection hoax because it appears that the media has retreated to that hoax. So that's their strongest remaining hoax because the fine people hoax got debunked. You know Trump is rising in every other way. He's unifying people. So they're sort of running out of hoaxes and their best play is now the January 6 one. So I posted and it's my pinned post if you want to grab it by the way you should if you think you're going to get in this conversation. You should literally screen grab or copy my post. It's the pinned one this morning. And I'll read it to you but I think this is the strongest argument that January 6 was not an insurrection.
All right. It goes like this. Several points. Number one, if somebody says it was an insurrection, here would be your response. Explain to me how trespassing in one building leads to conquering the United States. So that's the kill shot. But then they're going to say if they know enough, you know first of all they probably give up just on that point alone. But if they know a little bit more they'd say, whoa, whoa, whoa, Scott, hold on. It wasn't just about the protesting. No there was also this fake electoral situation. So I mean that was the real coup attempt. To which I say, explain how the alternate or you call them fake electors could have led to the conquering of the United States. Can you conquer a country with paperwork? Did you feel that? Can you conquer a country with paperwork? Because the normal way that would have gone would have been, oh I challenge this to the Supreme Court and then the Supreme Court looks at it and goes, ah get rid of these fake electors. And then that would be it. Just like everything else. It would be absolutely routine for the courts to reject this and then everybody goes their own way just like everything else. But what was the way in which it could have worked? Can you imagine the situation? It's like Pence is ready to certify the election and then somebody says, wait we've got paperwork. And then Pence does whatever he does. But later do you imagine that the Democrats would get together later and they'd say, wow we were pretty sure we won this thing fair and square but I didn't see that they would have paperwork. They have paperwork people. They have paperwork. And then they say we better just give them the country. And then one of the Democrats would say, well couldn't we just do some fake paperwork and take it back? And the Democrats would be like, what's your name? You're a genius. And he'd say Bob. My name is Bob. I don't know if that would be his name but let's say this. I just kind of came up with it. Bob, that's just brilliant. They try to take over the country with paperwork but does anybody have paper? Anybody? You have paper? Bring some paper over here and bring a pen quick. We're going to take this country back. We resolve that the country comes back to us. And by the way does anybody want to be a senator as long as I'm doing some paperwork? Well we'll call you an alternate senator but that's probably good enough to take over the country. Alternate senator. Who wants to be the alternate president? Oh we have one of those. Alternate cabinet members? Anybody? Finally we have paperwork. We will take over this country with our paperwork. Seriously people, how was anybody going to take over the country with trespassing in one building and some paperwork?
But then, but then, hold on Scott, hold on Scott. It's like you don't even watch the news. I think I got rid of my Dale impression. Dale will be making a comeback if you don't know. Dale is the Democrat who looks a lot like me except he has a goatee and he says crazy things and he looks like this. Well Scott if it's not an insurrection how do you explain all the cops that were killed? There were no cops killed. I've got horses. Well maybe you should Google them. Never mind I think Google probably erased it. But how do you explain the lectern got moved? What's your point? The lectern, the lectern it got moved. And just complete that point about the lectern and therefore the insurrection almost succeeded because the lectern got moved. There was also graffiti. There was graffiti so they were trying to conquer the country with paperwork but also graffiti. You didn't see it. It was bad. It was bad graffiti. It was weaponized graffiti. Well so I just imagine it goes like that.
All right. If you don't like those two, so those are the two points. You can't conquer a country by trespassing and you can't conquer a country with paperwork. If that would work I think somebody would have tried it already. I would have tried it myself frankly. I think I would have made a run at conquering the country if I could do it with fake paperwork.
All right. And then here's my favorite one though. So one of the things we know from the communications of the day is that Don Jr. was trying to stop the protests and you know get the president to say hey stand down and everything. So we know very clearly that Don Jr. was not in on any plot to take over the country. And so I ask you this. Do you believe that Trump planned to take over the country and word never got to Don Jr.? Because you think at the very least somebody would have said, hey Don Jr. you better protect all of your children because if your father takes over the country they're in a lot of trouble and so is your old family and so are you. So you might want to beef up your security because you know we're going to take over the country. I feel like that would have been mentioned. It would have been mentioned to Don Jr. Like how dumb do you have to be to think that Don Jr. wouldn't be in on the plot? I mean if the plot were real of course he would. Of course he would.
Anyway then here's my other point. Have you ever met a Republican who would be okay with Trump or anyone else becoming a dictator? That's the opposite of being a Republican. It's right in the name. Well it's not right in the name but the whole point of being a Republican is you like the Constitution. There's no such thing as a Republican who also kind of wants a dictator as long as the dictator is a good one and on their side. That's not a thing. There are zero Republicans who would have been okay with some kind of a coup. Zero. I've never even heard it privately. I've never heard anybody whisper about it. I've never heard anybody say, you know it wasn't a coup but honestly if it had been I would have been all in. No, there's no Republican. Find me one Republican who would have ever had that point of view. It's not a thing.
Now let's compare the insurrection narrative to what I call the more rational explanation. Here's the rational explanation that you never see on the fake news. So if it wasn't an insurrection Scott what was it? If it wasn't an insurrection what was it? What was it Scott? What was it? Well maybe it was exactly what they said it was. Maybe if you simply asked all the people you believed were involved, what is it you were trying to accomplish? Maybe do that. Maybe just ask them, hey what was in your mind? What were you trying to do? Don't you think that matters? There were thousands of people there. Why not just ask them? Why were you there? What were you trying to accomplish? I've asked them. So on behalf of the news that didn't do its job let me tell you what they would say. They would say we thought the election looked sketchy and we wanted a little timeout to check to see if this problem was what we thought it was which was the election was stolen. So we were trying to protect the election. We were trying to protect the outcome and we're trying to protect the country, protect the Republic and make sure that all of us, all Americans got the result that they thought they voted for.
But what about those fake electors Scott? What about the fake electors? Well why don't we ask them what they intended to do? What they intended to do if you ask them is to preserve their legal challenge. Now did they do it right? A lot of people would say no. But does anybody doubt the intent? Does anybody have any question about the intention? No. The intention was to preserve their legal right. Now they thought that could lead to Trump staying in office but that would require of course that somebody looked into the election and found some problem with it which never happened.
All right. So if you don't like debunking that let's talk about debunking climate change which looks like it's going to fall any moment. Steve Milloy who's been debunking climate stuff forever, here's what he says. Now I'm going to say I don't know if his facts are the same as the official facts so you have to watch out if everybody's using the same sources of data and I don't know the answer to that. But here's what he says. That for the last nine years the temperature has on average gone down. And you therefore you would have to believe that over that time four hundred and fifty billion tons of CO2 got into the air between 2015 and 2023 and it didn't do what it was predicted to do. And then on top of that, so that's the first claim. So the first claim is that the temperatures didn't go up but the CO2 went up massively. And if you're only talking about one year or two years you'd say okay we didn't claim every single year was going to be a straight line up just the average would. But it would be pretty hard to argue that over an eight or nine year period that you didn't see any impact of climate change. None. At the period when it was the most CO2 not only in the air but the most added to the air. And in that entire time, in that entire time that I was just looking at a reframe that somebody had is pretty good. So in that entire time nothing went up.
Now remember the claim is that the temperatures do not show warming over that period. I'm pretty sure the climate change people would say it did. So they might be looking at different data. I don't, there's I have some questions there. But then there's also a Tonga volcano that erupted in 2022 which some say, this is in Zero Hedge, that accounted for basically all of the extra warmth. So you didn't debunk anything. Brian Snick died. Oh there's some, is there somebody here who doesn't know that Brian Snick, you know that's a fake story right? There's somebody yelling in all caps you didn't debunk anything Brian Snick died. No you unfortunately you got some fake news there. So he just wants to say it over and over again. Yeah no you got fake news. Done that. Check your news. You'll find out you've been hoaxed.
Meanwhile John Deere has released a statement saying they're backing off on their DEI policies and they're going to commit to just helping their customers now. So I think they're going to get rid of some of their DEI stuff and stop focusing on pronouns and stuff like that. And that would be a big win for Robby Starbuck who was the person who originally noticed and started advocating that they changed their ways and got enough public attention on it that they actually backed off. Now some say maybe they'll just change the names of things and keep going but honestly they look pretty serious about it, right? They look pretty serious.
All right. There's a study that said two-thirds of children's calories come from ultra-processed foods. So no surprise that kids are not healthy. Two-thirds of their calories come from processed foods.
Now you probably saw the leaked audio and video of RFK Jr. talking to Trump and they were talking quite in a friendly way. And Trump seemed to be indicating, oh somebody saying if the riot didn't happen the policeman wouldn't have died. Okay well that's just a whole different claim. Yeah so that's a stupid claim. So stop being stupid. I have a comment here is just stupid so stop being stupid. Okay yeah just stop being stupid. I there's nothing else to say about that. Just don't be stupid anymore in public. Be stupid in private. That'd be better.
Anyway if RFK Jr. did have any interest in working with Trump I would love to see him working on this big issue which is our food supply and our vaccine process need to be relooked at. And it sounded like Trump was sort of hinting in that direction that maybe he would have a role. And of course he's running against Trump so he's not going to say yes to anything like that. But I think Trump made it clear that he could work with RFK Jr. if it was the right fit. Which would be unity. That would be unity.
And here's a study you probably didn't know about this but new study says that orgasms can help women with stress. Well who knew that? But it's more than that. Other studies have also shown that orgasms can help you with pain relief. They can help you with reduced migraines. They can boost your immunity. It can unblock your nose. It's good for your heart health and it also boosts your feel-good hormones like your oxytocin and your dopamine and stuff like that.
Now I don't know if you've ever heard me say this before but I could have saved them a lot of money. Yeah you didn't really need to check that. Scott we're thinking of doing this study to find out if orgasms make people feel better. I'm going to say yes. Oh thank you. Wow you just saved us two hundred thousand dollars. Ah you're welcome. Is there anything else I can do for you? Well we're also wondering if it reduced your stress especially for women. Yes. Oh wow you just saved us another two hundred thousand dollars. We I swear we were going to study that but you knew the answer all along. I did. I did. I knew that one. How about it'll boost your immunity? Yes it will.
All right. Here's my serious answer. I swear I'm not making this up. Probably forty years ago I discovered that no matter how badly I felt or what kind of sickness or illness or pain I had I could kind of make it all go away. And I said to myself, wait a minute this can't be a coincidence that when you get in that certain mode that all your problems go away. Like I don't have a mental problem but I also didn't have physical problems. Like it would make the flu go away. I mean not go away but it wouldn't hurt at least while you were in that mode. And here was my hypothesis I developed literally forty years ago that your mating instinct is so strong that it will erase your other problems. So in other words your body is made to reproduce. So you put it in a mating instinct mode even if you're all by yourself. If you're in your mating instinct mode and your body is registering mating then it goes to its highest health situation. In other words it puts you in the best situation to complete the task. Because if you wanted to mate but you had a stomach ache well maybe you'd not do it. If you wanted to mate but you had a migraine well you probably wouldn't be in the mood. If you wanted to mate but you felt some pain you probably wouldn't do it. So I had noticed that being in that orgasmic mindset makes all your pain go away. And I had always hypothesized that there must be an obvious and logical evolutionary reason which is you're better at reproducing if your body is all working right. And so that the moment you have an opportunity to be in a mating moment even if you're by yourself that your body just says all right we're going to fix everything. Your immune system is boosted. Your pain goes away. Your migraine's gone. You got a little more energy. How about a little oxytocin? Would you like some dopamine? Because you need the dopamine to act. You know that's the thing that actually makes you do a thing. So no it was not difficult to understand that this was going to be good for people.
Now that ladies and gentlemen concludes my prepared remarks. And thanks for joining. If you're on the X or Rumble or YouTube platforms make sure you pick up my newest book God's Debris The Complete Works. It's updated and it combines The Religion War, God's Debris and a new short story and it's available on Amazon. And people are loving it. They're loving it. And by the way I said this before but if you want to see another view of why that bullet didn't get Trump and only his ear this book will be another way to look at that. And you won't see it until you're done with it but once it all comes together in your head you can say, oh man I wonder if that's what's happening. So that's the teaser. You will enjoy the book. I guarantee it.
Now bye to everybody except the locals people. I'm going to talk to you right now. Thanks everybody else. See you tomorrow.
uh oh well we got a show today good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams there's never been a better time in your life and if you'd like to enjoy this experience at levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a CO marker a glass of tanker chaler Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite look and I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dope am me of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous zp it happens now go Ah that's some good sipping well Peter Navaro is getting freed today is he already freed has anybody heard from him yet I always wonder about the day that you're supposed to be freed from prison did did they make it happen right away because I always wonder do you wake up in the morning and say oh today's today's the day I go free and then you you call the guard over and say today's the day today's the day I go free then the guard looks at you and says that's after the shift that's at 5:00 you're like wait a minute today's the day I go free I don't go like when I wake up no sort of an end of day thing you got you got to serve some more jail today how's that work somebody says he's already out it seems like they would do a first thing in the morning doesn't it all right well we'll celebrate that in a bit no we're going to celebrate now with a sip of coffee who's with me Peter Navaro sip of coffee Peter if you're watching glad you're out it's about time stronger probably go all right everything seems to be going Trump's way directly and indirectly seems like uh seems like God has chosen him I don't know if that true but it looks like it do you know do you know how much how many coincidences or events it takes before somebody who doesn't even I'm not even a believer but but even I think it looks like God is chosen Trump it's getting harder and harder to deny at this point all right he's he's out Peter Naro is out anyway gold bar Bob New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez he's found guilty of taking money from uh some Egyptian people as as GRE Greg Greg geld said last night on G geld he said he sounded like a pyramid scheme cuz he took money from Egyptians oh anyway it's pretty funny uh but also from a qari or their government so here's the question isn't it lucky that there was just that one criminal in Congress thank goodness we got that one guy who's trading favors for money we we finally got that one guy it makes me think he must have like pissed off the intelligence service or something he must have made somebody mad who normally you know would just let things go it's like we can make a can make a some kind of an example on a gold bar Bob well there's an update on Biden's brain uh apparently before Trump was uh nearly assassinated he had a zoom call with a bunch of moderate Democrats and uh the call went like this uh President Biden what do you plan to do to resurrect your campaign and get it going again well anyway so something like that so reportedly it was bad it was bad really bad but here's what I don't understand how was it that he looked completely coherent in the evening when he talked about the assassination attempt how did they drug him up or is it just totally random cuz he looked presidential but he couldn't do a zoom call earlier that day know this is all very mysterious well so Biden is talking about uh Supreme Court limits uh well actually term limits and I saw in their comments that some people are saying that he can't do it he doesn't have the authority and the interesting thing would be if he tried to Institute term limits and there was a legal objection and it got appealed am I wrong that the Supreme Court gets to decide on its own whether it can have term limits because it will decide whether the ruling was constitutional or not do do we have the Absurd situation where the Supreme Court will vote on whether they get fired now that'll be fun I I'm assuming there'll be all kinds of legal analyses that are Arcane and weird and don't seem obvious but uh unconfirmed Miracle drugs what are we talking about somebody's talking about uncon oh the miracle drugs to get uh get Biden to talk okay I'm on all right rasmuson has a uh poll on what people think of the shooters motives 40% of likely voters think it's uh he's just you know mentally ill but 41% believe it was mainly caused by uh the the Democrats basically the the rhetoric against Trump so 41% of the country believes that the way Biden and the Democrats were talking caused an assassination attempt and I've got a feeling that some of those 40% who just think it's mental illness did they think do they think Trump was chosen randomly if your opinion was that the reason for the shooting was mental illness do you think he randomly chose the president or randomly from mental illness now mental illness or not he he picked a specific spefic person and the hardest one to get so it had to be a little bit about something about Trump and how would a 20-year-old know anything about Trump their opinions are assigned by the media these are assigned opinions so I would say that the 40% who say he mentally ill is really the same as the 41% who said it's caused by Trump's rhetoric to me this looks like 81% of people think it's the rhetoric caused it now if he was also mentally ill you know that's a contributing factor but certainly the rhetoric no matter what no matter how sane he was he didn't randomly pick the guy that they've been calling Hitler for years so then there's a quote from JD Vance uh that says the uh Central premise of the Biden campaign is that Trump was an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs and the rhetoric led directly to the attempt of assassination apparently 61% of likely voters agreed with that quote so that would suggest that at least some of the people who thought mental illness was part of it also think the rhetoric was part of it too so that makes sense split the difference all right so Dan Bonino Don Bonino who I would consider one of the best voices on the whole topic of how the shooter did what he did in the Secret Service Etc Bonino is the one to listen to he's got the best Insight on that I would think but he said he had an unimpeachable source that there was a police officer whose job it was to secure that area apparently um did not show up for work and there's no word yet why is there an update on that I didn't see an update this morning but the unimpeachable source says there should have been somebody on the roof and the roof guy didn't show up but we don't know why the roof guy didn't show up now that still makes the possibility that there was some you know some Shenanigans because we don't know why the roof guy didn't show up however I remind you that so far every single part of the story is consistent with the Sil filter that people are way less capable than you imagine they are and that people can make way more mistakes than you think possible and Dei has probably infected the competence of the entire operation plus they had temps you it wasn't I call them temps they weren't the regular crew so you had lots of reasons for incompetence but I will admit that every part of the story is also compatible with a you know a wild plot I don't know how you can rule it out exactly how do you rule out well there was a secret plot that we can't find you know but let me show you this if I can make this work here's a Peter Duke went through the effort of putting together aerial map that shows the location of stuff now you can't see it too clearly on my screen if you want to see the good one with the high resolution go to my feed on X it'll be there this morning and anyway it shows the locations of the shooter the people who got shot and uh some locations that the people who were conspiracy theorists who might had not be right but the conspiracy theorists are imagining a second shooter and they think they see evidence of it Etc um I'm going to say that confirmation um confirmation bias would get you all the way there meaning that even though you're pretty sure that you've seen uh evidence that the shock could not have come from one place and there must have been multiple Shooters and you heard too many and something bounced off a railing and somebody got shot who was in the wrong place it couldn't have happened must have been somebody in the you know so anyway all that stuff is swirling around in my opinion the the hypothesis that it was part of a bigger plot and somebody else was involved is still live that's that's a live hypothesis the competing one that it was just massive incompetence like we see everywhere else all the time is also Fully Alive so you've got two theories that are they're living completely I mean both of them you can't put a glove on them you know I'd love to say that the dilber filter that it's just incompetence is the one that's better because the other one has some flaws but the other one doesn't really have any flaws it looks completely consistent with some kind of a larger plot doesn't mean it is but it seems completely consistent with that now one of the uh things we found out is that the shooter had a remote control and had a bomb or actually two bombs in his car in the parking lot and people are saying what's that for they also say how did he know how to make a bomb with a remote control is that something you could look up on the internet and and if he was looking up that kind of stuff on the internet and he didn't have any social media presence none of this makes sense does it and if you could make an i IED that you could uh detonate from a distance wouldn't he use that and why did he have it in the first place if he's going to shoot why does he need the IEDs somebody said it would be to create a diversion so you shoot the president you blow up a car everybody looks at the car you run away maybe I've got a feeling it was more that he wanted to if he got into the car I think he was thinking to himself that if he escaped long enough to get into the car and if they caught him in the car it would be better to blow up the car with himself in it so it might have been a future suicide attempt in case he got halfway escaped and they pulled over the car and then he could blow up the car and something like that so we don't know but I have real questions about a guy who could put together a remote control bomb I don't know how I have no idea how hard that is I mean obviously it happens in the Middle East all the time but I don't know see seems like that's a little bit suggestive of some help now do you believe that he has no social media or do you believe they're hiding it from you because here's the uh the professional liar uh tell I've told you that there's there's regular Liars just politicians right all the politicians are just sort of normal Liars but then there's a special Elite group of liars that the Democrats bring out when they got the big lie the really big ones the ones that nobody else is even willing to talk about because it's just ridiculous so swell is already out uh and swalwell is one of the the group of uh designated Liars that they sent out when they got a Whopper to tell and he's telling that it's that the shooter was a registered Republican and that uh he had uh Trump signs at his house do you know what swall left out he doesn't have a house it's his parents' house he lived with his parents but the person who lives with the parents doesn't get to decide what signs are on the front lawn so there is evidence that the parents are a republican there is evidence that the shooter is registered as Republican now if the if the shooter registered as Republican does that mean anything maybe yes maybe no I'm a registered Democrat and you're listening to me so you can't trust what people register as I I can I can confirm that so we don't know if that means anything we saw pictures of him wearing an American flag and a shirt not too long ago which suggests he had some patriotic leanings which suggests a little more Republican leaning than not he obviously was comfortable with a gun and guns in the house which again is suggesting Republican but the fact that swell is the one who has to come out and tell you he was a republican strongly suggests that they know that's not the case he he's an indicator of the opposite so if you see swell shiff or Rasin or Brennan or Clapper they're all opposite guys whatever they tell you it's the opposite because they only bring them out they only bring them out when they've got a Whopper to tell it's it's pretty consistent all right now by the way uh if if you wonder why I sound like I'm healthy today and last night I sounded like I was going to die if you heard me on the man cave live stream uh I had some kind of allergic reaction so I thought I was dying of Co last night but it was some kind of massive allergic reaction all better now um so it wasn't sickness it was something else um I do blame my sloped roof um I was feeling fine and then somebody said but Scott you have a sloped roof next thing I know I was near death so slope roofs roofs very very dangerous stay away from them well Jake Tapper and the CNN crew uh got lered as they say Laura lomer did the uh what do you call it the uh the sneak attack where they're walking from one place to the other and you try to yell at them interview questions that they're not going to ask so I guess there were three different entities that all are after CNN for being fake news there's no real story to that except that CNN became the news have you notice that the news is the news right because even though we're talking about an assassination attempt that's the the top news what was the main cause of the assassination attempt well according to the rasmuson poll there's a pretty big chunk of Americans who say the news is the problem the news because would you even know that the Democrats were saying bad things about Trump well no it's the news it's not that the Democrats said it I think if I think if the only thing that happened was Democrats said bad things you'd say ah politics but if you turn the thing you think is your news and it's MSNBC and you see people who you think know more than you because they're the news and they're telling you they Hitler is going to get reelected maybe you believe it so I would say the news is the news I think the news is the cause of the assassination attempt I think the news is the reason you believe the fine people hoax because they won't debunk it I think the news is the reason you believe the January 6 hoax other people do not you uh we'll talk about that um so really the news is the news and I think Jake Tapper is the news he's not just the person who reported he's the news because why has he been saying the things he's been saying by the way I don't think he's you know the worst of the worst or anything he's just in that in the conversation so yeah once the news becomes the news you need to correct yeah you're going to have to find something all right um I don't know if you saw the story Caris swisher and Scott Galloway who some people think is my clone but he's not he's not my clone I disavow him because he got uh he was on a podcast making some assassination jokes uh I'm not going to repeat it but he made a assassination joke and and what some people think was too soon now I feel that it wasn't so much a too soon story you know I'm not the one who's going to cancel somebody for a joke even even one I don't like right you know I have to be consistent I'm not the one who's going to cancel somebody for a joke even a poor taste joke I tell I tell jokes and poor taste nearly every day often in public so it's more revealing about what they actually think and I do think that there are quite a few people who want people like me to be literally dead like actually literally dead now why is that is it because they accurately know things I've said is it because they accurately know things Trump has said and done no it's the news the news is the story again if you think this is a story about Caris Wisher and Scott Galloway having some opinions you don't like that were stated in a way that became public that's not exactly the story the story is they're victims too meaning that they are just as brainwashed as most of the most of the world actually so the brainwashing is the story and it's the news the news is brainwashing people to say things that when you look at them you say my God but moreover it also tells you something about their bubble how did you not know that that was would be taken really really badly because they act like you know people are going to love it I think that's the problem that Jack Black Tenacious D concert that got cancelled because one of the bandmates said something Pro assassination I think that you say that in front of a crowd of people because you're so in your bubble that it doesn't occur to you that half of them might be deeply deeply offended by that and they were probably I don't know if it was half but a lot anyway Biden apparently uh his Department of energy has an AI road map now you might say what does the department of energy have to do with AI well AI will suck up massive amounts of energy so much there wouldn't be enough left for human beings literally um so we've got a really big problem and it might not be solved by building more power plants because it takes a long time to build a nuke facility for example but one of the things they want to do is figure out how to make AI super computers more energy efficient which totally seems like that's worth doing so in our highly contentious World I'd like to say that looks like good work I have no problem with that I I think uh having my government um do some kind of a nationalist initiative to try to make the AI super computer is more energy efficient so it doesn't suck up all our energy and we all die in the fields that just seems like a solid good idea so sometimes we can say that the Biden Administration did something right I hope this is it I don't know all the details but I hope well meanwhile some uh what what are being called uh Trump allies you have to watch out for this story that's your first signal that there's something up a trump Ally what's that tell you I don't I haven't even told you the story yet but but if it start if it starts with Trump allies it's going to be something that somebody's going to try to smear Trump with that did not come from Trump you all know that right any story that starts with Trump allies because that's how the project 2025 thing started and then Trump has to explain I don't basically don't know what's in there what I heard I don't like right but then people say oh but they're your allies and then I heard uh van Jones saying that the Republican Party hasn't done enough to get rid of the um the white supremacist the racists in the party now how dumb do you have to be as a consumer of news to think that's a good point that the Republicans haven't done enough to get rid of the bad people in the party you know that Republicans don't have any control over that right they they can't excommunicate people they can people can register any way they want and then they can say anything they want and then they can vote free speech is still possible even if you hate it which is really the entire point of free speech is that it allows the stuff you don't like and what are the Democrats doing to get rid of their bad people I mean so you you even have van Jones has retreated to a really a stupid point you know let let me be blunt and I know he's too smart to think it's a good point so if a smart person has to use a stupid point that somehow Republicans could excommunicate the people they don't like in the party um if all he's got left is a stupid point and you know he knows it's stupid because he's smart right if he were stupid I'd say hm does he not know that's a bad point no he's very smart he knows it's a bad point it's all he's got you know they're basically an an of ammunition so you got to you got to go to the stupid stuff really and we'll talk about January 6 in a bit all right so anyway the Trump allies have crafted an AI executive order that they'd like Trump to sign on to and uh it's been viewed exclusively by the Washington post do you see the second tell uh do you think the Trump allies are really ones that Trump has endorsed to do this work for him no and do you think if it were Trump allies and Trump liked it and the Allies were all on the same page do you think that they would it would be released only to The Washington Post or maybe leaked we don't know if it was released or leaked no The Washington Post is not a credible entity the Trump allies are not a credible description of anybody and they have some kind of Manhattan project idea for a military Ai and slashing burdensome regulations I would say I would not believe any part of that story it could be some elements are true but it's coming from such a non-credible place you should just discount it entirely if later some credible entity that's not the Washington Post uh says it's true well then you know maybe upgrade the like the likelihood there's a story here uh then you got to see who these Trump allies are because you know how much have they actually talk to Trump about any of this and would JD Vance think it's a good idea would V think it's a good idea by the way how much do you love the fact that nothing stupid can get to Trump anymore think about it the Trump now has a smart filter that he surrounded himself with that's largely impenetrable there is no way that something just stupid is going to get all the way to Trump and turn into a policy because you got V standing in the way you got JD van standing in the way you got Elon Musk standing in the way you've got most of silicon Valley's smartest Venture capitalists we'll talk about in a moment standing in the way now he didn't have that before right he did not he had you know smart people of course but he didn't have that that that's like an impenetrable shield of high IQ people who are going to make sure that the dumb doesn't get to Trump and if it does it's not going to stick they're they're gonna they're going to give him a silkwood bath if he gets any dumb in there so I've never felt so confident about a presidency you know if you know fingers crossed that becomes Trump he he is assembling the most credible team and then we heard today that there's some talk of Jamie Diamond being considered for treasury now I can't imagine that he would ever take that job because Jamie dond has like the best job ever if you're in that space uh and working for the government and working for Trump is pretty much putting a Target on your back so I can't imagine you'd take the job but but I love the fact that it's not crazy I I mean Jamie Diamond did say hey hey you know Trump got some things right which is not being a trump supporter that's not a trump supporter he's just saying you know the criticism is a little off base could he do it the fact that we're even talking about it as a possibility when jamy Diamond was being talked about as a potential replacement for Biden is kind of phenomen Al I mean if you think about what that would look like in terms of unity it would be incredible now and I would say to Jamie Diamond if I were advising you what's good for you in your life don't do it if you get asked it's that's going to be a tough assignment you know you might want to you know keep your reputation intact but if you've got the guts and if you're the Patriot that I actually think you are it would be a hell of a service to the country assuming that it's the story is real and it's really being considered and it really gets offered um it would be a hell of a service and I I for one would have extreme gratitude for anybody who took that kind of a just a pure risk for the benefit of the country there's nothing in it for Jamie Diamond there's nothing in it but if he did it that would look like pure Pure service so I don't expect it because that's a lot to ask for anybody especially if they have a family and you know everything else but wow just the fact that it's even being considered is is quite quite interesting all right fed is looking at cutting some rates that's you know your good news bad news the FED doesn't look at cutting rates unless the economy is starting to drag and and unemployment isn't as good as it is or good as as it should be but we're always going to put a political uh spin on everything right so if the FED cuts the rates it's going to look positive for the economy the stock market presumably will go up it's going to it's going to help Biden's argument hey look what I've done the economy loves me and then of course the people who are smarter than that will say h but the stock market is a forward indicator which is really already priced in Trump so it's already a trump Market I'm just going to say it the stock market is a trump Market from now on is that fair would you agree it's a trump Market I think it's going to respond to what they expect Trump will do from this point on because he's the presumed winner all right um Elon Musk says he's moving uh two of his headquarters out of California so he's moving the ex people and he's moving the SpaceX headquarters H and of California and he says the reason is that California's new law that uh basically uh tells schools that they can transition your kid without your knowledge now that's my own description that's not that's not what what anybody smart would say uh what smart people would say it the the schools are not required to tell parents if the child is identifying as a different uh gender I guess now is anybody okay with that I I have real questions is there any parent anywhere democrat or republican any is there any parent who thinks that's a good idea for their own children you know maybe they think it's a good idea for your kids or something but I I feel like I feel like there's no actual human being who has children who thinks that's a good idea that sounds like something that childless people would say like what what parent would ever give up their own rights over their own children I you no matter what the right was why would a parent ever give up a right that involves their own children the I don't understand how there's even one person who could be in favor of that I've never heard of the argument what what's even the argument because the argument is you know presumably something like um the parents don't have the best interests of the kids in mind in some cases I assume that's the argument right but what parent would be in in favor of that there's no parent who would be in favor so did people without kids make decisions for people with kids I don't know what went on there I I don't know how such a absurd thing could happen now I do suspect that Elon Musk had a bit of a fake because meaning that he was already talking about moving X that conversation was happening and if he's going to move X and the Space X uh C gravity is already in Texas or someplace else you know it just makes sense he wanted to consolidate his businesses where he spends more time so it probably just means less travel for him and less fewer taxes you know fewer problems with the state messing with you but I do like the fact that he tied it to a political event and uh allowed his communication to be louder because it was tied to an economic event so so it makes it look clear that California is giving up a lot of money to have these ridiculous laws that that law is just batshit crazy there there's nothing to even argue about it it's just batshit crazy you can't take the parents out of raising you know a decision as basic as the kids oh anyway I I don't have to argue it because you're all in the same page well let me test is there even one person in the comments who thinks that's a good law I don't even have to look do I there's not one person here I don't know how that gets approved quite quite a mystery well last night at the Republican National Convention uh was enemies unit night I guess Nikki Haley was there endorsing Trump and V gave a great speech brought down the house Endor Trump De.
Santis um dorson Trump now that is a good so that's great messaging because remember the whole point of trump is he's trying to unite so if if you're going to be a uniter I can't think of anything better to you know start that moving than getting the people on your own team to unite and apparently he has so the the unity among the Republicans is the best I've seen in many years and that's on Trump now it's on lock the luck of surviving an assassination but that's on Trump so during a trump time the Republican Party came together the ones who are still anti-trump are just you know not serious people at this point they're not serious people there's a question whether v ramaswami um would accept if he were offered um to be the replacement senator in Ohio and V says he's going to talk to Trump about how V can be the most useful whether it's that or something else and I'd love to know what the alternative is wouldn't you love to have that option hey VI um you don't have to even run for election um could we just make you a senator and V's options are so good that he can say I don't know let me mle that over with my other opportunities just try to hold that in your head yeah here's somebody that you never even heard of you know two years ago or whatever and he did such a good job running for president even in a you know ultimate losing effort he did such a good job that he's literally having a conversation I don't know Senator Senator without spending any money without even having to run for it I don't know I I'll put that on my list of things I'll consider do you realize what kind of talent is coming into the administration I'm just just hold that in your brain for a second the level of talent that's coming in that even that conversation is a conversation is is Senate good enough for you would like you know maybe you should be head of Homeland Security you know is there is there a better job that would make more sense oh Senator is okay I could settle for a senator I just love that story anyway Andre Horwitz uh that's a big VC outfit in the valley are endorsing Trump now if you don't know the players and you just heard oh there's a couple of uh money people in Silicon Valley who kind of decided to endorse Trump no that's not what happened if you're a little closer to the situation you know I live around here so you know just by osmosis you you end you end up knowing the players and J and Horowitz aren't just two smart guys they're two smart guys that smart guys look to to figure out how to be smart guys that's big because they're they are people who shape opinion they're not just people with opinions if you didn't know that you would think this is a small story but when these two guys go public on the same side and unambiguously endorsing Trump after you've seen Bill Amman uh go you've seen um now there's a pretty long list of VES who have gone public command of the closet and of course Elon Musk and um and Jamie Diamond he's not supporting Trump as far as we know but even he said recently you know some of these criticisms about Trump are a little overblown so you're seeing people come out of the closet Mike cernovich said in uh in these words today uh you can now operate in quote legitimate Society while supporting Trump hard to overstate the implications of this for the 2024 election and future yep it is hard to overstate how important that is it it's really hard to overstate it and of course it was the assassination attempt that gave everybody the fake because that that was the ultimate permission it's like okay now we're seeing the things have gone way too far we we can come out under the cover of the you know hey can't be in favor of an assassination so that's good but I would like to thank cernovich for being one of the biggest Fighters for legitimizing the ability to just have an opinion and I would like to thank everybody who got cancelled everybody who had been maligned everybody who lost a job everybody who went first first everybody went first because although you know covich is correct in pointing out the bravery of the people who were uh coming out he was first right like he didn't wait there there are people who ran into the who ran into the fight first and you know it's very magnanimous of him to give credit to the people who are coming on board now they did have big reputations and lot lots to protect and you understand that it's a in the real world you have to take care of yourself a little bit you can't just run into danger um but there are some people who who saw the bigger picture faster and the people who saw the bigger picture faster in many cases made some pretty big sacrifices and uh cernovich is uh the leading general in that and I think that has to be called out because you have to look at the whole Arc of his work and the level of influence he's had to make this all possible he was the biggest voice that I saw advocating for JD Vance I think it made a difference I definitely think his his voice made a difference there so uh the you know there there are people that in my mind feel like Founders because I feel in a very real sense that something like the founding of the country is rehappening you know people said uh we're a dying a dying Republic and America we had our good 200 years and now we're dying you know what they were right except they didn't have the timing right we already died the founders are reforming the country now Democrats aren't going to want to hear this but I don't think it's a coincidence that God saved Trump at the same time that people who look like they're The Reincarnation of the founders have just Arisen you know when you've got a of aake who reminds me of Jefferson you've got a you've got a Elon Musk who reminds you of you know Ben Franklin you've got basically you could go down the line and you could map the founders to the current bunch of people you would map George Washington to Trump you when you saw Trump put his his hand up what was the first thing you thought from history the first thing I thought was that iconic painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware and you know Washington is standing up on the boat as if he would stand up on that little boat but you know and I I'm sure it's not based on a literal picture but um do you feel that the that that America actually did die I don't think we're trying to you know recover I think we died I I think that the Republic was dead I think that we've been run by some you know people in the background now for decades and just imagined we had some kind of country I do think that the founders have been reformed there there is some kind of larger Force that's making things happen that it's just hard to explain in any other filter now I remind you I'm not a I'm not a Believer myself but the filter that fits the best is that God formed America in the first place didn't like how it was going let it die but the economy kept cooking along and then it was time to reform it and I'm seeing a new America I'm not just seeing you know make America great again it just look like it's being reformed almost from scratch from first principles let's say from first principles if you look to vake he's he's a first principle guy says it all the time if you look at Elon Musk first principle kind of guy says it all the time what do all of the uh Venture capitalists the Andre Horwitz people what do they all have in common first person kind of people or first you know first principles they're basically wait wait wait let's let's back it up to what what the basic situation is and then reason it from there don't just get caught in the rhetoric and the narrative and stuff like that let's let's take it back we've never had this many capable people line up on the same side since the actual American Revolution there's an insane amount of talent that just found each other that does that feel like a coincidence to you I mean there's something happening here that's just way bigger than all of us and it could be just an emergent intelligence it could be an emerging intelligence I do believe that humans collectively form a meta intelligence that's bigger than the collection and it doesn't happen often because it doesn't need to if you don't have if you don't have a problem that is existential you don't need people to form a you know a larger consciousness we can just all do our own thing which is what I think we've been doing for a few hundred years largely doing our own thing oh you got a World War II thrown in there and you better come together for that but I think that the the the larger intelligence which is the combination of all the smartest people who know how to think not the people who are just the crazy people but the people who know how to think are finding each other they're finding the truth and they're going to put massive amount of money behind it and massive amount of reputational risk and they've decided you know how I always tell you about the difference between wanting and deciding there was a lot of wanting of trump to win there was a lot of wanting there wasn't enough deciding because deciding means you're going to do whatever it takes must just put his whole life on the line literally let me say that again Elon mus put his life on the line that's not an exaggeration because he knows I mean he's had two attempts on his life just recently um he knows what kind of risk this is he's not doing this blind he put his life on the line that's a decision that's not oh you know I'd rather have this candidate no that's a decision he's putting $45 million a month into the pack that's not wanting that's a decision all right so I think a lot of people have just decided and if you look at who the deciders are they're not your average people there's a lot of deciding going on right now all right uh let's see kend delanian for NBC News was I saw him reporting on this alleged Iranian assassination plot which has been bubbling for a while now so it didn't this is not new news it's a background news so it's sort of like context context is that uh us officials have had uh you know Intel about Iran trying to assassinate Trump for his assassination of um sulamani when he was in office when Trump was in office and and allegedly that background threat had prompted the Secret Service to uh enhance Trump's protection so what you saw on the day that he was shot was their enhanced protection against Iranian super Killers so their enhanced protection against highly trained Iranian assassins didn't stop the 20-year-old who borrowed his dad's gun and got a ladder so if that's the extra super beefed up security against the Iranian super assassins who one imagines would be quite well trained um I think they need a little more be beefing up that's not what I call beefing up but if you didn't not recognize the name I gave you kend delanian in NBC I will tell you that allegedly I have no personal know of this but uh I think this is the Glenn Greenwald filter on things that it would be well known again this is not my own claim the NBC and specifically kend delanian would be considered the voice of the CIA basically now that's not my claim that's that's the claim that smart people make I wouldn't know but isn't it kind of coincidental that something that would mock up the story would get into the story at just the right time now it does seem sort of related but not really because if the worry is that the shooter was in fact radicalized by Democrat talking points then the last thing you want is to not have a counternarrative it's like well I don't know we we don't know his motives it could have been yeah it just could have been the Iranians got to him so it just sort of introduces some doubt into something that probably shouldn't have any doubt at all if an American takes a shot at Trump is there any doubt that he was radicalized by the media or social media which is also radicalized by the proper media not really it's not one of those questions where you have to question his his motive now if you say oh but was influenced by this as well okay but still it's because you got there there is no scenario in which you take a shot at Trump just because you worked out the details on your own that came from somewhere 20-year-olds don't have their own opinions I had a conversation with some young people the other day uh who is not too far from that age of the 20y old who said that all of their friends uh are starting to hate Biden because Biden is uh too pro Israel and I said to him do your friends know that Trump is considered like the biggest friend of Israel ever and they looked at me and said what oh yeah so all all your friends who have decided that they don't like Biden because of Israel they don't know that Israel and Trump are the closest of any couple that have ever been and they said oh well actually to be fair nobody my age knows anything that that was the honest answer I got back nobody my age knows anything so then I tossed down a few I said well were you aware of this um no I said were you aware of this I've never heard of that before were you aware of this nope never heard that so that's what a 20-year-old knows what a 20-year-old knows is just nothing and nobody suggests that this was the the best informed 20-year-old nobody thinks that now I I see MK Ultra all over the place I I don't believe that the CIA can hypnotize somebody to be a killer so I speaking as a hypnotist I don't think that's the thing you could find somebody who's already you know ready to be pushed over the edge so you could maybe tip somebody over the edge you can't take somebody who wasn't thinking about it and turn them into an assassin the no hypnosis can do that now I mean the exception would be if you completely control them um you know and they saw no other people for three years and you you just brainwashed them every day in a secret room you could do that that actually would work but you can't just sort of talk to somebody in the real world send them some messages turn them into an assassin they they would have to be right on the edge of tipping anyway and then maybe you could do it but it'd be a hard I I don't think the CIA just hypnotized the guy to go kill the president my skill set says that's not really a thing not really but having this uh Iranian thing in here makes everything uh a little uh more uncertain and why is it that hearing so little about the uh let me tell you what I would expect to see here's the dog not barking are you ready dog not barking the 20-year-old had classmates all right now he's out High School of course but he had people who knew him in high school now apparently he was bullied and he wasn't popular but has anybody talked to his classmates and said they say he had no social media is that true his classmate to know if he had social media where where's that you know now you don't necessarily want to put them on camera because they'd be well they'd be 22 so that'd be fine so if you had some 20-year-old people who went to school with them and you say can you tell me that this is the only 20-year-old than he would have been 18 who has no social media just ask the people who know him they know for sure for sure they know if he had social media % they know now I can I can understand why the people doing the investigation maybe don't want to tell you anything yet because I you know it's an ongoing investigation but the news the news knows where he went to school the news knows his family the news could easily find his friends and why isn't the news telling us if he had social media because they could they could you think they couldn't figure that out you think there's no way an investigative Journal could find somebody who went to school with you just have to find one person you went to school with did this guy of social media of course he did or or oddly he did not right so that it's kind of missing it's kind of conspicuously missing anyway there's a a big headline news today um this is unusual I mean it's it's what it's the reason it made news you I've told you before that if a dog bites a man that's the old saying that's not news because that could happen but if a man bit a dog well that could be news you know that's the old saying so here's one of those it's I mean I know you didn't expect this so that's why it's news uh representative Adam Schiff told the truth at a private meeting and made headline news anyway next story oh you're probably wondering what he said well that's not the fun part what he said was just the truth that you already knew the story is that Adam Schiff told the truth that's literally the story I'm not making that up the story is that he told the truth the truth was that he uh thinks that the Democrats will lose everything if Biden stays in the job now don't you believe that that is the truth it's the truth that it's probably true because you know you're talking probab probabilistically it's probably true um and I probably believe he believes it so there was nothing new in the idea that the Democrats are panicked about losing everything so there was no news quality in the fact that there was this one person who believes what everybody else believ believes would you agree it's not news that there's somebody who believes what everybody else believes what's news is he told the truth just think about that that's exactly what made it a headline he told the truth that is how that that is how amazing that is and he did it on closed doors so apparently Biden is very sharp behind closed doors and behind closed doors sometimes Adam Schiff tells the truth so here's my advice you should uh stay away from sloped roofs and close doors y all right I posted a message today asking who has the best debunk on the January 6th Insurrection hoax because it appears that the media is retreated to that hoax so that's the their strongest remaining hoax because the fine people folks got debunked um you know Trump is rising in every other way he's he's unifying people so they're sort of running out of hoaxes and their their best play is now the January 6 one so I posted and it's my pinned post if you want to grab it by the way you should if you think you're going to get in this conversation you should literally screen grab or copy my post it's the pinned one this morning and I'll read it to you but I think this is the strongest argument that January 6 was not an Insurrection all right it goes like this several points number one uh if somebody says it was an Insurrection here would be your response explain to me how trespassing in one building leads to Conquering the United States so that that's the kill shot but then they're going to say if they know enough you know first of all they probably give up just on that point alone but if they know a little bit more they'd say whoa whoa whoa Scott hold on it wasn't just about the protesting no there was also this fake electoral situation so I mean that was the real that was the real C attempt to which uh I say explain how the alternate or you call them fake electors could have led to the Conquering of the United States can you conquer a country with paperwork did you feel that can you can you conquer a country with paperwork because the normal way that would have gone would have been oh I challenge this to the Supreme Court and then the Supreme Court looks at it and goes ah get rid of get rid of these fake electors and then that would be it just like everything else it it would be absolutely routine for the courts to reject this and then everybody goes their own way just like everything else but but what was the way in which it could have worked can can you imagine the situation it's like uh you know Pence is ready to certify the election and then some says wait wait wait wait we've got paperwork and then Pence does whatever he does but later do you imagine that the Democrats would get together later and they'd say wow we were pretty sure we won this thing fair and square but I didn't see that they would have paperwork they have paperwork people they have paperwork and then they say we we better just give them the country and then one of the Democrats would say well couldn't we just do some fake paperwork and take it back and the Democrats would be like what's your name you're a genius and he'd say Bob my name is Bob I don't know if that would be his name but let's say this I just kind of came up with it Bob that's that's that's just brilliant they try to take over the country with paperwork but does anybody have paper anybody you have paper bring some paper over here and bring a pen quick we're going to take this country back we resolve that the country comes back to us and by the way um does anybody want to be a senator as long as I'm doing some paperwork well we'll call you an alternate Senator but that's probably good enough to take over the country alternate senator who wants to be the alternate president oh we have one of those um alternate cabinet members anybody finally we have paperwork we will take over this country with our paperwork seriously people how was anybody going to take over the country with trespassing in one building and some paperwork but then but then hold on Scott hold on Scott it's like you don't even watch the news I think I got rid of my my Dale impression Dale will be making a comeback if you don't know dale dale is the uh the Democrat who looks a lot like me except he has a goatee and he says crazy things and he looks like this well Scott if it's not an Insurrection how do you explain all the cops that were killed there were no cops killed I've got horses well maybe you should Google them never mind I think Google probably erased it but how do you explain the lectr got moved what's your point the lectern the Lecter it got moved and just complete that point about the electron and therefore the Insurrection almost succeeded because the electron got moved there was also graffiti there was graffiti so they were trying to conquer the country with paperwork but also graffiti you didn't see it it was bad it was bad graffiti it was weaponized graffiti well so I just imagine it goes like that all right if you if you don't like those two so those are the two points you can't conquer a country by by trespassing and you can't conquer a country with paperwork if that would work I think somebody would have tried it already I would have tried it myself frankly I think I would have made a run at Conquering the country if I could do it with fake paperwork all right and then here's my my favorite one though is so one of the things we know from the um Communications of the day is that Don Jr was trying to stop the protests and you know get the president to say hey stand down and everything so we know very clearly that Don Jr was not in on any plot to take over the country and so I ask you this do you believe that Trump planned to take over the country and word never got to Don Jr because you think at the very least somebody would have said hey Don Jr you better protect all of your children' because if your father takes over the country they're in a lot of trouble and so is your old family and so are you so you might want to beef up your security because you know we're going to take over the country I feel like I feel like that would have been mentioned it would have been mentioned to Don Jr like how dumb do you have to be to think that Don Jr wouldn't be in on the plot I mean if the plot were real of course he would of course he would anyway um then here's my other point have you ever met a republican who would be okay with Trump or anyone else becoming a dictator that's the opposite of being a republican it's right in the name well it's not right in the name but the the whole point of being a republican is you like the Constitution there's no such thing as a republican who also kind of wants a dictator as long as the dictator is a good one and on their side that's not a thing there there are zero Republicans who would have been over okay with some kind of a coup zero I I've never even heard it privately I've never heard anybody whisper about it I've never heard anybody say you know it wasn't a coup but honestly if it had been I would have been Allin no there there's no Republican find me one Republican who would have ever had that a point of view it's not a thing now let's compare the the Insurrection narrative to what I call the more rational explanation here's the rational explanation that you never see on the the fake news so if it wasn't an Insurrection Scott what was it if it wasn't an Insurrection what was it what was it Scott what was it well maybe it was exactly what they said it was maybe if you simply asked all the people you believed were involved what is it you were trying to accomplish maybe do that maybe just ask them hey what was in your mind what were you trying to do don't you think that matters there were thousands of people there why not just ask them why were you there what were you trying to accomplish I've asked them so on behalf of the news that didn't do his job let me tell you what they would say they would say we thought the election looked sketchy and we wanted a little timeout to check to see if this problem was what we thought it was which was the election was stolen so we were trying to protect the election we were trying to protect the outcome and we're trying to protect the country protect the Republic and make sure that all of us all Americans got the result that they thought they voted for but what about those fake electors Scott what about the fake electors well why don't we ask them what they intended to do what they intended to do if you ask them is to uh preserve their legal challenge now did they do it right A lot of people would say no but does anybody doubt the intent does anybody have any question about the intention no the intention was to preserve their legal right now they thought that could lead to Trump staying in office but that would require of course that somebody looked into the election and found some problem with it which never happened all right so if you don't like debunking that let's talk about debunking climate change which looks like it's going to fall any moment um Steve Malloy who's been debunking climate stuff forever uh here's what he says now I'm going to say I don't know if his facts are the same as the official facts so you have to watch out if everybody's using the same sources of data and I don't know the answer to that but here's what he says that for the last nine years uh the temperature has on average gone down um and you therefore you would have to believe that over that time 450 billion tons of CO2 got into the air between 2015 and 2023 and it didn't do what it was predicted to do and then on top of that so so that's the first claim so the first claim is that the temperatures didn't go up but the CO2 CO2 went up massively and if you're only talking about one year or two years you'd say okay we we didn't claim every single year was going to be a straight line up just the average would but it would be pretty hard to argue that over an eight or ninee period that you didn't see any impact of climate change none at the period when it was the most CO2 not only in the air but the most added to the air and in that entire time um in that entire time that uh I was just looking at a reframe that somebody had is pretty good um so in that entire time nothing went up now remember the claim is that the temperatures do not show warming over that period I'm pretty sure the climate change people would say it did so they might be looking at different data I don't there's I have some questions there uh but then there's also a tonga volcano that uh erupted in 2022 which some say this is in Zero Hedge that uh accounted for basically all of the extra warmth so you didn't debunk anything Brian snik died oh there's some is there somebody here who doesn't know uh that Brian snck you know that's a fake story right there's somebody yelling in all caps you didn't debunk anything Brian snik died no you unfortunately you got some fake news there so he just wants to say it over and over again yeah no you got fake news done that check your news you'll find out you've been you've been hoaxed uh meanwhile John Deere has released a statement saying they're uh backing off on their Dei policies and they're going to commit to just helping their customers now so I think they're going to get rid of some of their Dei stuff and stop focusing on pronouns and stuff like that and that would be big win for Robbie Starbuck who was the person who who originally noticed and started uh started advocating that they changed their ways and got enough public attention on it that they actually backed off now some say maybe they'll just change the names of things and keep going but honestly they look pretty serious about it right they look pretty serious all right right um there's a study that said uh 2third of children's calories come from Ultra processed foods so no surprise that kids are not healthy two-thirds of their calories come from processed foods now you probably saw the leaked uh audio and video of RFK Jr talking to Trump and they were talking quite in a friendly way and Trump seemed to be indicating um oh somebody saying if the riot didn't happen the policeman wouldn't have died okay well that's just a whole different claim yeah so that that's a stupid claim so stop being stupid I I I have a a comment here is just stupid so stop being stupid okay yeah just stop being stupid I there's nothing else to say about that just don't be stupid anymore in public be be stupid in private that'd be better anyway if RFK Jr did have any interest in working with Trump um I would love to see him working on this uh big issue which is our food supply and our vaccine process uh need to be relooked at and uh it sounded like Trump was sort of hinting in that direction that maybe he would have a role and of course he's running for running against Trump so he's not going to say yes to anything like that but I think Trump made it clear that he could work with RFK junr if if it was the right right fit which would be Unity that would be unity and uh here's a study you probably didn't know about this but new study says that uh orgasms can help women with stress well who knew that but it's more than that um other Studies have also shown that orgasms can help you with pain relief they can help you with reduce migraines they can boost your immunity it can unblock your nose uh it's good for your heart health and uh it also boost your Feelgood hormones like your oxytocin and your dopamine and stuff like that now I don't know if you've ever heard me say this before but I could have saved them a lot of money yeah you didn't really need to check that uh Scott we're we're thinking of doing this study to find out if orgasms make people feel better I'm going to say yes oh thank you wow you just saved us $200,000 ah you're welcome is there anything else I can do for you well we're also wondering if if it reduced your stress especially for women yes oh wow you just saved us another $200,000 we I swear we were going to study that but you knew the answer all log I did I did I I knew that one how about uh it'll boost your immunity yes it will all right here's my serious answer I swear I'm not making this up probably 40 years ago I discovered that no matter how badly I felt or what kind of sickness or illness or pain I had I could kind of make it all go away and I said to myself wait a minute this can't be a coincidence that when you get in that certain mode that all your problems go away like you I don't I don't have a mental problem but I also didn't have physical problems like it would make the flu go away I mean not go away but it wouldn't hurt at least while you were in that mode and here was my hypothesis I developed literally 40 years ago that your mating Instinct uh is so strong that it will erase your other problems so in other words your body is made to reproduce so you put it in a mating Instinct mode even if you're all by yourself if you're in your mating Instinct mode and your body is registering mating then it goes to its highest health situation in other words it it puts you in the best situation to complete the task because if you wanted to mate but you had a stomach ache well maybe you'd not do it if you wanted to mate but you had a migraine well you probably wouldn't be in the mood if you wanted to mate but you I don't know you you felt uh some pain you probably wouldn't do it so I had noticed that being in that orgasmic you know mindset uh makes all your pain go away and I had always hypothesized that there must be an obvious and logical evolutionary reason which is you're better at reproducing if your body is all working right and so that the moment you have an opportunity to be an a mating moment even if you're by yourself that your body just says all right we're going to fix everything your immune system is boosted your pain goes away your migraine's gone you got a little more energy how about a little oxytocin would you like some dopamine because you need the dopamine to act you know that's the thing that actually makes you do a thing so no it was not difficult to understand that this was going to be good for people now that ladies and gentlemen concludes my prepared marks and uh thanks for joining if you're on the xor rumble or um You.
Tube platforms make sure you pick up my newest book God's debris the complete works it's up ated and it combines the religion War the gods debris and a new short story and it's available on Amazon and people are loving it they're loving it and by the way I said this before but if you want to see another view of why that bullet didn't get Trump and only his ear this book will be another way to look at that and you won't see it until you're done with it but once it all comes together in your head you can say oh man I wonder if that's what's happening so that's the teaser you will enjoy the book I guarante it now uh bye to everybody except the locals people I'm going to talk to you right now thanks everybody else see you tomorrow e e e e e e e e e e e e
uh
oh well we got a show
[Music]
today good morning everybody and welcome
to the highlight of human civilization
it's called coffee with Scott Adams
there's never been a better time in your
life and if you'd like to enjoy this
experience at levels that nobody can
even understand with their tiny shiny
human brains all you need is a CO marker
a glass of tanker chaler Stein a canteen
Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill
it with your favorite look and I like
coffee and join me now for the
unparallel pleasure the dope am me of
the day thing makes everything better
it's called the simultaneous zp it
happens now go
Ah that's some good
sipping well Peter Navaro is getting
freed today is he already freed has
anybody heard from him yet I always
wonder about the day that you're
supposed to be freed from prison did did
they make it happen right
away because I always wonder do you wake
up in the morning and say oh today's
today's the day I go free and then you
you call the guard over and say today's
the day today's the day I go free
then the guard looks at you and
says that's after the shift that's at
5:00 you're like wait a minute today's
the day I go free I don't go like when I
wake up no sort of an end of day thing
you got you got to serve some more jail
today how's that
work somebody says he's already out it
seems like they would do a first thing
in the morning doesn't
it all right well we'll celebrate that
in a bit no we're going to celebrate now
with a sip of
coffee who's with me Peter Navaro sip of
coffee Peter if you're
watching glad you're out it's about
time stronger probably
go all right everything seems to be
going Trump's way directly and
indirectly seems like uh seems like God
has chosen him I don't know if that true
but it looks like
it do you know do you know how much how
many coincidences or events it takes
before somebody who doesn't even I'm not
even a believer but but even I think it
looks like God is chosen
Trump it's getting harder and harder to
deny at this
point all right he's he's out Peter Naro
is out anyway gold bar Bob New Jersey
Senator Bob Menendez he's found
guilty of taking money from uh some
Egyptian
people as as GRE
Greg Greg geld said last night on G geld
he said he sounded like a pyramid
scheme cuz he took money from Egyptians
oh anyway it's pretty funny uh but also
from a qari or their
government so here's the
question isn't it
lucky that there was just that one
criminal in Congress thank goodness we
got that one guy who's trading favors
for
money we we finally got that one
guy it makes me think he must have like
pissed off the intelligence service or
something he must have made somebody mad
who normally you know would just let
things go it's like we can make a can
make a some kind of an example on a gold
bar
Bob well there's an update on Biden's
brain uh apparently before Trump was uh
nearly assassinated he had a zoom call
with a bunch of moderate
Democrats and uh the call went like this
uh President Biden what do you plan to
do to resurrect your campaign and get it
going
again well anyway so something like that
so reportedly it was bad it was bad
really bad but here's what I don't
understand how was it that he looked
completely
coherent in the evening when he talked
about the assassination
attempt how did they drug him up or is
it just totally random cuz he looked
presidential but he couldn't do a zoom
call earlier that
day know this is all very
mysterious well so Biden is talking
about uh Supreme Court limits uh well
actually term
limits and I saw in their comments that
some people are saying that he can't do
it he doesn't have the authority and the
interesting thing would be if he tried
to Institute term
limits and there was a legal
objection and it got
appealed am I wrong that the Supreme
Court gets to decide on its own whether
it can have term limits because it will
decide whether the ruling was
constitutional or not do do we have the
Absurd situation where the Supreme Court
will vote on whether they get fired
now that'll be fun I I'm assuming
there'll be all kinds of legal analyses
that are Arcane and weird and don't seem
obvious but
uh unconfirmed Miracle
drugs what are we talking about
somebody's talking about uncon oh the
miracle drugs to get uh get Biden to
talk okay I'm on
all right rasmuson has a uh poll on what
people think of the shooters motives 40%
of likely voters think it's uh he's just
you know mentally
ill but 41% believe it was mainly caused
by uh the the Democrats basically the
the rhetoric against Trump so 41% of the
country believes that the way Biden and
the Democrats were talking caused an
assassination
attempt and I've got a feeling that some
of those 40% who just think it's mental
illness did they think do they think
Trump was chosen randomly if your
opinion was that the reason for the
shooting was mental illness do you think
he randomly chose the
president or randomly from mental
illness now mental illness or not he he
picked a specific spefic person and the
hardest one to get so it had to be a
little bit about something about Trump
and how would a 20-year-old know
anything about
Trump their opinions are assigned by the
media these are assigned opinions so I
would say that the 40% who say he
mentally ill is really the same as the
41% who said it's caused by Trump's
rhetoric to me this looks like 81% of
people think it's the rhetoric caused it
now if he was also mentally ill you know
that's a contributing factor but
certainly the rhetoric no matter what no
matter how sane he was he didn't
randomly pick the guy that they've been
calling Hitler for
years so then there's a quote from JD
Vance uh that says the uh Central
premise of the Biden campaign is that
Trump was an authoritarian fascist who
must be stopped at all costs and the
rhetoric led directly to the attempt of
assassination apparently 61% of likely
voters agreed with that quote so that
would suggest that at least some of the
people who thought mental illness was
part of it also think the rhetoric was
part of it too so that makes sense split
the
difference all right so Dan Bonino Don
Bonino who I would consider one of the
best voices on the whole topic of how
the shooter did what he did in the
Secret Service Etc Bonino is the one to
listen to he's got the best Insight on
that I would
think but he said he had an
unimpeachable source that there was a
police officer whose job it was to
secure that area apparently um did not
show up for
work and there's no word yet why is
there an update on that I didn't see an
update this morning but the
unimpeachable source says there should
have been somebody on the roof and the
roof guy didn't show up but we don't
know why the roof guy didn't show
up now that still makes the
possibility that there was some you know
some
Shenanigans because we don't know why
the roof guy didn't show up however I
remind you that so far every single part
of the story is consistent with the Sil
filter that people are way less capable
than you imagine they are and that
people can make way more mistakes than
you think possible and Dei has probably
infected the competence of the entire
operation plus they had temps you it
wasn't I call them temps they weren't
the regular crew so you had lots of
reasons for
incompetence but I will admit that every
part of the story is also compatible
with a you know a wild
plot I don't know how you can rule it
out exactly how do you rule out well
there was a secret plot that we can't
find you
know but let me show you this if I can
make this
work here's a Peter Duke went through
the effort of putting together aerial
map that shows the location of stuff now
you can't see it too clearly on my
screen if you want to see the good one
with the high resolution go to my feed
on X it'll be there this morning and
anyway it shows the locations of the
shooter the people who got shot and uh
some locations that the people who were
conspiracy theorists who might had not
be right but the conspiracy theorists
are imagining a second shooter and they
think they see evidence of it
Etc um I'm going to say
that confirmation um confirmation bias
would get you all the way
there meaning that even though you're
pretty sure that you've seen uh evidence
that the shock could not have come from
one place and there must have been
multiple Shooters and you heard too many
and something bounced off a railing and
somebody got shot who was in the wrong
place it couldn't have happened must
have been somebody in the you know so
anyway all that stuff is swirling around
in my opinion the the hypothesis that it
was part of a bigger plot and somebody
else was involved is still live that's
that's a live
hypothesis the competing one that it was
just massive incompetence like we see
everywhere else all the time is also
Fully
Alive so you've got two theories that
are they're living completely I mean
both of them you can't put a glove on
them
you know I'd love to say that the dilber
filter that it's just incompetence is
the one that's better because the other
one has some flaws but the other one
doesn't really have any
flaws it looks completely consistent
with some kind of a larger plot doesn't
mean it is but it seems completely
consistent with that now one of the uh
things we found out is that the shooter
had a remote control and had a bomb or
actually two bombs in his car in the
parking
lot and people are saying what's that
for they also say how did he know how to
make a bomb with a remote
control is that something you could look
up on the
internet and and if he was looking up
that kind of stuff on the
internet and he didn't have any social
media presence none of this makes sense
does it and if you could make an i IED
that you could uh detonate from a
distance wouldn't he use that and why
did he have it in the first place if
he's going to shoot why does he need the
IEDs somebody said it would be to create
a
diversion so you shoot the president you
blow up a car everybody looks at the car
you run away
maybe I've got a feeling it was more
that he wanted to if he got into the car
I think he was thinking to himself that
if he escaped long enough to get into
the car and if they caught him in the
car it would be better to blow up the
car with himself in it so it might have
been a future suicide attempt in case he
got halfway escaped and they pulled over
the car and then he could blow up the
car and something like that so we don't
know but I have real
questions about a guy who could put
together a remote control bomb I don't
know how I have no idea how hard that is
I mean obviously it happens in the
Middle East all the time but I don't
know see seems like that's a little bit
suggestive of some help
now do you believe that he has no social
media or do you believe they're hiding
it from
you because here's the uh the
professional liar uh
tell I've told you that there's there's
regular Liars
just politicians right all the
politicians are just sort of normal
Liars but then there's a special Elite
group of liars that the Democrats bring
out when they got the big lie the really
big ones the ones that nobody else is
even willing to talk about because it's
just
ridiculous so swell is already out uh
and swalwell is one of the the group of
uh designated Liars that they sent out
when they got a Whopper to tell and he's
telling that it's that the shooter was a
registered Republican and that uh he had
uh Trump signs at his house do you know
what swall left out he doesn't have a
house it's his parents' house he lived
with his parents but the person who
lives with the parents doesn't get to
decide what signs are on the front lawn
so there is evidence that the parents
are a republican there is evidence that
the shooter is registered as
Republican now if the if the shooter
registered as Republican does that mean
anything maybe yes maybe no I'm a
registered Democrat and you're listening
to me so you can't
trust what people register as I I can I
can confirm
that so we don't know if that means
anything we saw pictures of him wearing
an American flag and a shirt not too
long ago which suggests he had some
patriotic leanings which suggests a
little more Republican leaning than not
he obviously was comfortable with a gun
and guns in the house which again is
suggesting
Republican
but the fact that swell is the one who
has to come out and tell you he was a
republican strongly suggests that they
know that's not the case he he's an
indicator of the opposite so if you see
swell shiff or Rasin or Brennan or
Clapper they're all opposite guys
whatever they tell you it's the opposite
because they only bring them out they
only bring them out when they've got a
Whopper to tell it's it's pretty
consistent all
right now by the way uh if if you wonder
why I sound like I'm healthy today and
last night I sounded like I was going to
die if you heard me on the man cave live
stream uh I had some kind of allergic
reaction so I thought I was dying of Co
last night but it was some kind of
massive allergic reaction all better
now um so it wasn't sickness it was
something else um I do blame my sloped
roof um I was feeling fine and then
somebody said but Scott you have a
sloped roof next thing I know I was near
death so slope roofs roofs very very
dangerous stay away from
them well Jake Tapper and the CNN crew
uh got lered as they say Laura lomer did
the uh what do you call it the uh the
sneak attack where they're walking from
one place to the other and you try to
yell at them interview questions that
they're not going to ask so I guess
there were three different entities that
all are after CNN for being fake news
there's no real story to that except
that CNN became the
news have you notice that the news is
the
news right because even though we're
talking about an assassination attempt
that's the the top
news what was the main cause of the
assassination attempt well according to
the rasmuson poll there's a pretty big
chunk of Americans who say the news is
the problem the news because would you
even know that the Democrats were saying
bad things about Trump well no it's the
news it's not that the Democrats said it
I think if I think if the only thing
that happened was Democrats said bad
things you'd say ah politics but if you
turn the thing you think is your news
and it's
MSNBC and you see people who you think
know more than you because they're the
news and they're telling you they Hitler
is going to get
reelected maybe you believe
it so I would say the news is the news I
think the news is the cause of the
assassination attempt I think the news
is the reason you believe the fine
people hoax because they won't debunk it
I think the news is the reason you
believe the January 6 hoax other people
do not you uh we'll talk about that um
so really the news is the
news and I think Jake Tapper is the news
he's not just the person who reported
he's the news because why has he been
saying the things he's been saying by
the way I don't think he's you know the
worst of the worst or anything he's just
in that in the
conversation so yeah once the news
becomes the
news you need to
correct yeah you're going to have to
find
something all right um I don't know if
you saw the story Caris swisher and
Scott Galloway who some people think is
my clone but he's not he's not my clone
I disavow him because he got uh he was
on a podcast making some assassination
jokes uh I'm not going to repeat it but
he made a assassination joke and and
what some people think was too
soon now I feel that it wasn't so much a
too soon story you know I'm not the one
who's going to cancel somebody for a
joke even even one I don't like right
you know I have to be consistent I'm not
the one who's going to cancel somebody
for a joke even a poor taste joke I tell
I tell jokes and poor taste nearly every
day often in public
so it's more revealing about what they
actually
think and I do
think that there are quite a few people
who want people like me to be literally
dead like actually literally dead
now why is
that is it because they accurately know
things I've said is it because they
accurately know things Trump has said
and done no it's the news the news is
the story again if you think this is a
story about Caris Wisher and Scott
Galloway having some opinions you don't
like that were stated in a way that
became public that's not exactly the
story the story is they're victims too
meaning that they are just as
brainwashed as most of the most of the
world actually so the brainwashing is
the story and it's the news the news is
brainwashing people to say things that
when you look at them you say my God but
moreover it also tells you something
about their
bubble how did you not know that that
was would be taken really really
badly because they act like you know
people are going to love it I think
that's the problem that Jack Black
Tenacious D concert that got cancelled
because one of the bandmates said
something Pro
assassination I think that you say that
in front of a crowd of people because
you're so in your bubble that it doesn't
occur to you that half of them might be
deeply deeply offended by that and they
were probably I don't know if it was
half but a
lot anyway Biden apparently uh his
Department of
energy has an AI road map now you might
say what does the department of energy
have to do with AI well AI will suck up
massive amounts of energy so much there
wouldn't be enough left for human beings
literally um so we've got a really big
problem and it might not be solved by
building more power plants because it
takes a long time to build a nuke
facility for example but one of the
things they want to do is figure out how
to make AI super computers more energy
efficient which totally seems like
that's worth doing so in our highly
contentious World I'd like to say that
looks like good
work I have no problem with that I I
think uh having my government um do some
kind of a nationalist initiative to try
to make the AI super computer is more
energy efficient so it doesn't suck up
all our energy and we all die in the
fields that just seems like a solid good
idea so sometimes we can say that the
Biden Administration did something right
I hope this is it I don't know all the
details but I
hope well meanwhile some uh what what
are being called uh Trump
allies you have to watch out for this
story that's your first signal that
there's something up a trump Ally
what's that tell
you I don't I haven't even told you the
story yet but but if it start if it
starts with Trump allies it's going to
be something that somebody's going to
try to smear Trump with that did not
come from
Trump you all know that right any story
that starts with Trump allies because
that's how the project 2025 thing
started and then Trump has to explain I
don't basically don't know what's in
there what I heard I don't like right
but then people say oh but they're your
allies and then I heard uh van Jones
saying that the Republican Party hasn't
done enough to get rid of the um the
white supremacist the racists in the
party now how dumb do you have to be as
a consumer of news to think that's a
good point that the Republicans haven't
done enough to get rid of the bad people
in the
party you know that Republicans don't
have any control over that
right they they can't excommunicate
people they can people can register any
way they want and then they can say
anything they want and then they can
vote free speech is still possible even
if you hate it which is really the
entire point of free speech is that it
allows the stuff you don't like and what
are the Democrats doing to get rid of
their bad people I
mean so you you even have van Jones has
retreated to a really a stupid point you
know let let me be blunt and I know he's
too smart to think it's a good point so
if a smart person has to use a stupid
point that somehow Republicans could
excommunicate the people they don't like
in the party um if all he's got left is
a stupid point and you know he knows
it's stupid because he's smart right if
he were stupid I'd say hm does he not
know that's a bad point no he's very
smart he knows it's a bad point it's all
he's got you know they're basically an
an of ammunition so you got to you got
to go to the stupid stuff
really and we'll talk about January 6 in
a
bit all right so anyway the Trump allies
have crafted an AI executive order that
they'd like Trump to sign on to and uh
it's been viewed exclusively by the
Washington
post do you see the second
tell uh do you think the Trump
allies are really ones that Trump has
endorsed to do this work for him no and
do you think if it were Trump allies and
Trump liked it and the Allies were all
on the same page do you think that they
would it would be released only to The
Washington Post or maybe leaked we don't
know if it was released or
leaked no The Washington Post is not a
credible entity the Trump allies are not
a credible description of
anybody and they have some kind of
Manhattan project idea for a military Ai
and slashing burdensome
regulations I would say I would not
believe any part of that
story it could be some elements are true
but it's coming from such a non-credible
place you should just discount it
entirely if later some credible entity
that's not the Washington Post uh says
it's true well then you know maybe
upgrade the like the likelihood there's
a story here uh then you got to see who
these Trump allies are because you know
how much have they actually talk to
Trump about any of this and would JD
Vance think it's a good idea would V
think it's a good idea by the way how
much do you love the fact that nothing
stupid can get to Trump
anymore think about it
the Trump now has a smart filter that he
surrounded himself with that's largely
impenetrable there is no way that
something just stupid is going to get
all the way to Trump and turn into a
policy because you got V standing in the
way you got JD van standing in the way
you got Elon Musk standing in the
way you've got most of silicon Valley's
smartest Venture capitalists we'll talk
about in a moment standing in the way
now he didn't have that before right he
did not he had you know smart people of
course but he didn't have that that
that's like an impenetrable shield of
high IQ people who are going to make
sure that the dumb doesn't get to
Trump and if it does it's not going to
stick they're they're gonna they're
going to give him a silkwood bath if he
gets any dumb in there so I've
never felt so confident about a
presidency you know if you know fingers
crossed that becomes Trump he he is
assembling the most credible team and
then we heard today that there's some
talk of Jamie Diamond being considered
for treasury now I can't imagine that he
would ever take that job because Jamie
dond has like the best job ever if
you're in that space uh and working for
the government and working for Trump is
pretty much putting a Target on your
back so I can't imagine you'd take the
job but but I love the fact that it's
not
crazy I I mean Jamie Diamond did say hey
hey you know Trump got some things right
which is not being a trump supporter
that's not a trump supporter he's just
saying you know the criticism is a
little off
base could he do it the fact that we're
even talking about it as a
possibility when jamy Diamond was being
talked about as a potential replacement
for
Biden is kind of phenomen
Al I mean if you think about what that
would look like in terms of unity it
would be incredible now and I would say
to Jamie Diamond if I were advising you
what's good for you in your life don't
do it if you get
asked it's that's going to be a tough
assignment you know you might want to
you know keep your reputation
intact
but if you've got the
guts and if you're the Patriot that I
actually think you
are it would be a hell of a service to
the country assuming that it's the story
is real and it's really being considered
and it really gets offered um it would
be a hell of a service and I I for one
would have extreme gratitude for anybody
who took that kind of a just a pure risk
for the benefit of the country there's
nothing in it for Jamie Diamond there's
nothing in it but if he did it
that would look like pure Pure service
so I don't expect it because that's a
lot to ask for anybody especially if
they have a family and you know
everything else but wow just the fact
that it's even being considered is is
quite quite
interesting all right fed is looking at
cutting some rates that's you know your
good news bad news the FED doesn't look
at cutting rates unless the economy is
starting to drag and and unemployment
isn't as good as it is or good as as it
should
be but we're always going to put a
political uh spin on everything right so
if the FED cuts the rates it's going to
look positive for the economy the stock
market presumably will go up it's going
to it's going to help Biden's argument
hey look what I've done the economy
loves me and then of course the people
who are smarter than that will say h but
the stock market is a forward indicator
which is really already priced in Trump
so it's already a trump Market I'm just
going to say it the stock market is a
trump Market from now
on is that fair would you agree it's a
trump Market I think it's going to
respond to what they expect Trump will
do from this point on because he's the
presumed
winner all right
um Elon Musk says he's moving uh two of
his headquarters out of California so
he's moving the ex people and he's
moving the SpaceX headquarters H and of
California and he says the reason is
that California's new law that uh
basically uh tells schools that they can
transition your kid without your
knowledge now that's my own description
that's not that's not what what anybody
smart would say uh what smart people
would say it the the schools are not
required to tell parents if the child is
identifying as a different uh gender I
guess now is anybody okay with
that I I have real questions is there
any
parent anywhere democrat or republican
any is there any parent who thinks
that's a good idea for their own
children you know maybe they think it's
a good idea for your kids or something
but I I feel
like I feel like there's no actual human
being who has children who thinks that's
a good idea that sounds like something
that childless people would
say like what what parent would ever
give up their own rights over their own
children I you no matter what the right
was why would a parent ever give up a
right that involves their own
children the I don't understand how
there's even one person who could be in
favor of that I've never heard of the
argument what what's even the
argument because the argument is you
know presumably something like um the
parents don't have the best interests of
the kids in mind in some cases I assume
that's the argument right but what
parent would be in in favor of
that there's no parent who would be in
favor so did people without kids make
decisions for people with
kids I don't know what went on there I I
don't know how such a absurd thing could
happen now I do suspect that Elon Musk
had a bit of a fake because meaning that
he was already talking about moving X
that conversation was happening and if
he's going to move X and the Space X uh
C gravity is already in Texas or
someplace
else you know it just makes sense he
wanted to consolidate his businesses
where he spends more time so it probably
just means less travel for him and less
fewer taxes you know fewer problems with
the state messing with you but I do like
the fact that he tied it to a political
event and uh allowed his communication
to be louder because it was tied to an
economic event so so it makes it look
clear that California is giving up a lot
of
money to have these ridiculous laws
that that law is just batshit crazy
there there's nothing to even argue
about it it's just batshit crazy you
can't take the parents out of raising
you know a decision as basic as the
kids oh anyway I I don't have to argue
it because you're all in the same page
well let me test is there even one
person in the comments who thinks that's
a good
law I don't even have to look do I
there's not one person here I don't know
how that gets
approved quite quite a
mystery well last night at the
Republican National Convention uh was
enemies unit night I guess Nikki Haley
was there endorsing Trump and V gave a
great speech brought down the house
Endor Trump
DeSantis um dorson Trump now that is a
good so that's great messaging because
remember the whole point of trump is
he's trying to unite so if if you're
going to be a uniter I can't think of
anything better to you know start that
moving than getting the people on your
own team to unite and apparently he has
so the the unity among the Republicans
is the best I've seen in many years and
that's on Trump now it's on lock the
luck of surviving an assassination but
that's on Trump so during a trump time
the Republican Party came together the
ones who are still anti-trump are
just you know not serious people at this
point they're not serious
people there's a question whether v
ramaswami um would accept if he were
offered um to be the replacement senator
in
Ohio and V says he's going to talk to
Trump about how V can be the most useful
whether it's that or something
else and I'd love to know what the
alternative is
wouldn't you love to have that option
hey VI um you don't have to even run for
election um could we just make you a
senator and V's options are so good that
he can say I don't know let me mle that
over with my other
opportunities just try to hold that in
your head yeah here's somebody that you
never even heard of you know two years
ago or whatever and he did such a good
job running for president even in a you
know ultimate losing effort he did such
a good job that he's literally having a
conversation I don't know Senator
Senator without spending any money
without even having to run for it I
don't know I I'll put that on my list of
things I'll
consider do you realize what kind of
talent is coming into the
administration I'm just just hold that
in your brain for a second the level of
talent that's coming in that even that
conversation is a conversation is is
Senate good enough for you would like
you know maybe you should be head of
Homeland Security you know is there is
there a better job that would make more
sense oh Senator is okay I could settle
for a
senator I just love that story anyway
Andre Horwitz uh that's a big VC outfit
in the valley are endorsing Trump now if
you don't know the
players and you just heard oh there's a
couple of uh money people in Silicon
Valley who kind of decided to endorse
Trump no that's not what
happened if you're a little closer to
the situation you know I live around
here so you know just by osmosis you you
end you end up knowing the
players and J and Horowitz aren't just
two smart guys they're two smart guys
that smart guys look to to figure out
how to be smart
guys that's big because they're they are
people who shape
opinion they're not just people with
opinions if you didn't know that you
would think this is a small story but
when these two guys go public on the
same side and unambiguously endorsing
Trump after you've seen Bill
Amman uh go you've seen um now there's a
pretty long list of VES who have gone
public command of the closet and of
course Elon Musk and um and Jamie
Diamond he's not supporting Trump as far
as we know but even he said recently you
know some of these criticisms about
Trump are a little
overblown so you're seeing people come
out of the
closet Mike cernovich said in uh in
these words today uh you can now operate
in quote legitimate Society while
supporting Trump hard to overstate the
implications of this for the 2024
election and
future yep it is hard to overstate how
important that is it it's really hard to
overstate it and of course it was the
assassination attempt that gave
everybody the fake because that that was
the ultimate permission it's like okay
now we're seeing the things have gone
way too far we we can come out under the
cover of the you know hey can't be in
favor of an
assassination so that's good but I would
like to thank
cernovich for being one of the biggest
Fighters for legitimizing the ability to
just have an
opinion and I would like to thank
everybody who got cancelled everybody
who had been maligned everybody who lost
a job everybody who went first
first everybody went first because
although you know covich is correct in
pointing out the bravery of the people
who were uh coming out he was
first right like he didn't wait there
there are people who ran into the who
ran into the
fight
first and you know it's very magnanimous
of him to give credit to the people who
are coming on board now they did have
big reputations and lot lots to protect
and you understand that it's a in the
real world you have to take care of
yourself a little bit you can't just run
into danger um but there are some people
who who saw the bigger picture
faster and the people who saw the bigger
picture faster in many cases made some
pretty big
sacrifices and uh cernovich is uh the
leading general in that and I think that
has to be called out because you have to
look at the whole Arc of his work and
the level of influence he's had to make
this all
possible he was the biggest voice that I
saw advocating for JD Vance I think it
made a difference I definitely think his
his voice made a difference there so uh
the you know there there are people that
in my mind feel like
Founders because I feel in a very real
sense that something like the founding
of the country is rehappening
you know people said uh we're a dying a
dying Republic and America we had our
good 200 years and now we're dying you
know what they were
right except they didn't have the timing
right we already
died the founders are reforming the
country now Democrats aren't going to
want to hear this but I don't think it's
a coincidence that God saved Trump at
the same time that people who look like
they're The Reincarnation of the
founders have just
Arisen you know when you've got a of
aake who reminds me of Jefferson you've
got a you've got a Elon Musk who reminds
you of you know Ben Franklin you've got
basically you could go down the line and
you could map the founders to the
current bunch of people you would map
George Washington to
Trump you when you saw Trump put his his
hand up what was the first thing you
thought from
history the first thing I thought was
that iconic painting of George
Washington crossing the Delaware and you
know Washington is standing up on the
boat as if he would stand up on that
little boat but you know and I I'm sure
it's not based on a literal picture but
um do you
feel that the that that America actually
did die I don't think we're trying to
you know recover I think we
died I I think that the Republic was
dead I think that we've been run by some
you know people in the background now
for decades and just imagined we had
some kind of country I do think that the
founders have been reformed there there
is some kind of larger Force that's
making things happen that it's just hard
to explain in any other filter now I
remind you I'm not a I'm not a Believer
myself but the filter that fits the best
is that God formed America in the first
place didn't like how it was going let
it die but the economy kept cooking
along and then it was time to reform it
and I'm seeing a new America I'm not
just seeing you know make America great
again it just look like it's being
reformed almost from scratch from first
principles let's say from first
principles if you look to vake he's he's
a first principle guy says it all the
time if you look at Elon Musk first
principle kind of guy says it all the
time what do all of the uh Venture
capitalists the Andre Horwitz people
what do they all have in
common first person kind of people or
first you know first principles they're
basically wait wait wait let's let's
back it up to what what the basic
situation is and then reason it from
there don't just get caught in the
rhetoric and the narrative and stuff
like that let's let's take it back we've
never had this many capable people line
up on the same side since the actual
American
Revolution there's an insane amount of
talent that just found each
other that does that feel like a
coincidence to you I mean there's
something happening here that's just way
bigger than all of us and it could be
just an emergent
intelligence it could be an emerging
intelligence I do believe that humans
collectively form a meta intelligence
that's bigger than the
collection and it doesn't happen often
because it doesn't need to if you don't
have if you don't have a problem that is
existential you don't need people to
form a you know a larger consciousness
we can just all do our own thing which
is what I think we've been doing for a
few hundred years largely doing our own
thing oh you got a World War II thrown
in there and you better come together
for that
but I
think that the the the larger
intelligence which is the combination of
all the smartest people who know how to
think not the people who are just the
crazy people but the people who know how
to think are finding each other they're
finding the
truth and they're going to put massive
amount of money behind it and massive
amount of reputational risk and they've
decided you know how I always tell you
about the difference between wanting and
deciding there was a lot of wanting of
trump to
win there was a lot of wanting there
wasn't enough
deciding because deciding means you're
going to do whatever it takes must just
put his whole life on the line literally
let me say that again Elon mus put his
life on the
line that's not an
exaggeration because he knows I mean
he's had two attempts on his life just
recently um he knows what kind of risk
this is he's not doing this blind he put
his life on the line that's a decision
that's not oh you know I'd rather have
this candidate no that's a
decision he's putting $45 million a
month into the pack that's not
wanting that's a
decision all right
so I think a lot of people have just
decided and if you look at who the
deciders are they're not your average
people there's a lot of deciding going
on right
now all
right uh let's
see kend delanian for NBC News was I saw
him reporting on this alleged Iranian
assassination plot which has been
bubbling for a while now so it didn't
this is not new news it's a background
news so it's sort of like context
context is that uh us
officials have had uh you know Intel
about Iran trying to assassinate Trump
for his assassination of um sulamani
when he was in office when Trump was in
office and and allegedly that background
threat had prompted the Secret Service
to uh enhance Trump's
protection so what you saw on the day
that he was shot was their enhanced
protection against Iranian super
Killers so their enhanced protection
against highly trained Iranian
assassins didn't stop the 20-year-old
who borrowed his dad's gun and got a
ladder
so if that's the extra super beefed up
security against the Iranian super
assassins who one imagines would be
quite well
trained um I think they need a little
more be beefing up that's not what I
call beefing up but if you didn't not
recognize the name I gave you kend
delanian in NBC I will tell you that
allegedly I have no personal know of
this but uh I think this is the Glenn
Greenwald filter on things that it would
be well known again this is not my own
claim the NBC and specifically kend
delanian would be
considered the voice of the CIA
basically now that's not my claim that's
that's the claim that smart people
make I wouldn't know but isn't it kind
of coincidental that something that
would mock up the story would get into
the story at just the right time now it
does
seem sort of
related but not really because if the
worry is that the shooter was in fact
radicalized
by Democrat talking
points then the last thing you want is
to not have a counternarrative it's like
well I don't know we we don't know his
motives it could have been yeah it just
could have been the Iranians got to him
so it just sort of introduces some doubt
into something that probably shouldn't
have any doubt at all if an American
takes a shot at Trump is there any doubt
that he was radicalized by the media or
social media which is also radicalized
by the proper media not
really it's not one of those questions
where you have to question his his
motive now if you say oh but was
influenced by this as well okay but
still it's because you got there there
is no scenario in which you take a shot
at Trump just because you worked out the
details on your own that came from
somewhere 20-year-olds don't have their
own
opinions I had a conversation with some
young people the other day uh who is not
too far from that age of the 20y old who
said that all of their friends
uh are starting to hate Biden because
Biden is uh too pro
Israel and I said to him do your friends
know that Trump is considered like the
biggest friend of Israel ever and they
looked at me and said what oh yeah so
all all your friends who have decided
that they don't like Biden because of
Israel they don't
know that Israel and Trump are the
closest of any couple that have ever
been and they said oh well actually to
be fair nobody my age knows
anything that that was the honest answer
I got back nobody my age knows anything
so then I tossed down a few I said well
were you aware of
this um no I said were you aware of
this I've never heard of that before
were you aware of
this nope never heard that so that's
what a 20-year-old knows what a
20-year-old knows is just nothing and
nobody suggests that this was the the
best informed 20-year-old nobody thinks
that now I I see MK Ultra all over the
place I I don't believe that the CIA can
hypnotize somebody to be a killer so I
speaking as a
hypnotist I don't think that's the thing
you could find somebody who's already
you know ready to be pushed over the
edge so you could maybe tip somebody
over the edge you can't take somebody
who wasn't thinking about it and turn
them into an
assassin the no hypnosis can do that now
I mean the exception would be if you
completely control them um you know and
they saw no other people for three years
and you you just brainwashed them every
day in a secret room you could do that
that actually would work but you can't
just sort of talk to somebody in the
real world send them some messages turn
them into an assassin they they would
have to be right on the edge of tipping
anyway and then maybe you could do it
but it'd be a hard I I don't think the
CIA just hypnotized the guy to go kill
the
president my skill set says that's not
really a thing not
really but having this uh Iranian thing
in here makes everything uh a little uh
more uncertain and why is it that
hearing so little
about the uh let me tell you what I
would expect to see here's the dog not
barking are you ready dog not
barking the 20-year-old had classmates
all right now he's out High School of
course but he had people who knew him in
high school now apparently he was
bullied and he wasn't popular but has
anybody talked to his classmates and
said they say he had no social media is
that true his classmate to know if he
had social
media where where's that you know now
you don't necessarily want to put them
on camera because they'd be well they'd
be 22 so that'd be fine so if you had
some 20-year-old people who went to
school with them and you say can you
tell me that this is the only
20-year-old than he would have been 18
who has no social media just ask the
people who know him they know for sure
for sure they know if he had social
media % they know now I can I can
understand why the people doing the
investigation maybe don't want to tell
you anything yet because I you know it's
an ongoing investigation but the news
the news knows where he went to school
the news knows his family the news could
easily find his friends and why isn't
the news telling us if he had social
media because they could they
could you think they couldn't figure
that out you think there's no way an
investigative Journal could find
somebody who went to school with you
just have to find one person you went to
school with did this guy of social media
of course he
did or or oddly he did not
right so that it's kind of missing it's
kind of conspicuously
missing anyway there's a a big headline
news today um this is unusual I mean
it's it's what it's the reason it made
news you I've told you before that if a
dog bites a man that's the old saying
that's not news because that could
happen but if a man bit a dog well that
could be news you know that's the old
saying so here's one of those it's I
mean I know you didn't expect this so
that's why it's
news uh representative Adam Schiff told
the truth at a private
meeting and made headline
news anyway next story oh you're
probably wondering what he said well
that's not the fun part what he said was
just the truth that you already
knew the story is that Adam Schiff told
the
truth that's literally the
story I'm not making that up the story
is that he told the
truth the truth was that he uh thinks
that the Democrats will lose everything
if Biden stays in the
job now don't you believe that that is
the truth it's the truth that it's
probably true because you know you're
talking probab
probabilistically it's probably true um
and I probably believe he believes it so
there was nothing new in the idea that
the Democrats are panicked about losing
everything so there was no news quality
in the fact that there was this one
person who believes what everybody else
believ
believes would you agree it's not news
that there's somebody who believes what
everybody else
believes what's news is he told the
truth just think about that that's
exactly what made it a headline he told
the truth that is how that that is how
amazing that
is and he did it on closed doors so
apparently Biden is very sharp behind
closed doors and behind closed doors
sometimes Adam Schiff tells the truth
so here's my
advice you should uh stay away from
sloped roofs and close
doors
y all
right I posted a message today asking
who has the best debunk on the January
6th Insurrection hoax because it appears
that the media is retreated to that hoax
so that's the their strongest remaining
hoax because the fine people folks got
debunked um you know Trump is rising in
every other way he's he's unifying
people so they're sort of running out of
hoaxes and their their best play is now
the January 6 one so I posted and it's
my pinned post if you want to grab it by
the way you should if you think you're
going to get in this conversation you
should literally screen grab or copy my
post it's the pinned one this morning
and I'll read it to you but I think this
is the strongest
argument that January 6 was not an
Insurrection all right it goes like this
several points number one uh if somebody
says it was an Insurrection here would
be your response explain to me how
trespassing in one building leads to
Conquering the United
States so that that's the kill
shot but then they're going to say if
they know enough you know first of all
they probably give up just on that point
alone but if they know a little bit more
they'd say whoa whoa whoa Scott hold on
it wasn't just about the protesting no
there was also this fake electoral
situation so I mean that was the real
that was the real C
attempt to which uh I say explain how
the alternate or you call them fake
electors could have led to the
Conquering of the United States can you
conquer a country with paperwork
did you feel that can you can you
conquer a country with
paperwork because the normal way that
would have gone would have been oh I
challenge this to the Supreme Court and
then the Supreme Court looks at it and
goes ah get rid of get rid of these fake
electors and then that would be it just
like everything else it it would be
absolutely routine
for the courts to reject this and then
everybody goes their own way just like
everything
else but but what was the way in which
it could have
worked can can you imagine the situation
it's like uh you know Pence is ready to
certify the election and then some says
wait wait wait wait we've got
paperwork and then Pence does whatever
he does but later do you imagine that
the Democrats would get together later
and they'd say wow we were pretty sure
we won this thing fair and square
but I didn't see that they would have
paperwork they have paperwork people
they have
paperwork and then they say we we better
just give them the country and then one
of the Democrats would say well couldn't
we just do some fake paperwork and take
it back and the Democrats would be
like what's your name you're a genius
and he'd say
Bob my name is Bob I don't know if that
would be his name but let's say this I
just kind of came up with it Bob that's
that's that's just
brilliant they try to take over the
country with paperwork but does anybody
have paper anybody you have paper bring
some paper over here and bring a pen
quick we're going to take this country
back we
resolve that the country
comes back to us and by the way um does
anybody want to be a senator as long as
I'm doing some
paperwork well we'll call you an
alternate Senator but that's probably
good enough to take over the country
alternate senator who wants to be the
alternate president oh we have one of
those um alternate cabinet members
anybody finally we have
paperwork we will take over this country
with our
paperwork seriously people how was
anybody going to take over the
country with trespassing in one building
and some
paperwork but then but then hold on
Scott hold on Scott it's like you don't
even watch the
news I think I got rid of my my Dale
impression
Dale will be making a comeback if you
don't know dale dale is the uh the
Democrat who looks a lot like me except
he has a
goatee and he says crazy
things and he looks like this well Scott
if it's not an Insurrection how do you
explain all the cops that were
killed there were no cops
killed I've got horses
well maybe you should Google them never
mind I think Google probably erased it
but how do you explain the lectr got
moved what's your point the lectern the
Lecter it got
moved and just complete that point about
the electron and therefore the
Insurrection almost
succeeded because the electron got moved
there was also graffiti there was
graffiti so they were trying to conquer
the country with
paperwork but also graffiti you didn't
see it it was bad it was bad graffiti it
was weaponized
graffiti well so I just imagine it goes
like
that all right if you if you don't like
those two so those are the two points
you can't conquer a country by
by
trespassing and you can't conquer a
country with paperwork if that would
work I think somebody would have tried
it already I would have tried it myself
frankly I think I would have made a run
at Conquering the country if I could do
it with fake
paperwork all right and then here's my
my favorite one though is so one of the
things we know from the um
Communications of the day is that Don Jr
was trying to stop the protests and you
know get the president to say hey stand
down and everything so we know very
clearly that Don Jr was not in on any
plot to take over the country and so I
ask you
this do you believe that Trump planned
to take over the country and word never
got to Don
Jr because you think at the very least
somebody would have said hey Don Jr you
better protect all of your children'
because if your father takes over the
country they're in a lot of trouble and
so is your old family and so are you so
you might want to beef up your security
because you know we're going to take
over the country I feel like I feel like
that would have been mentioned it would
have been mentioned to Don Jr like how
dumb do you have to be to think that Don
Jr wouldn't be in on the plot I mean if
the plot were real of course he would of
course he would
anyway um then here's my other point
have you ever met a republican who would
be okay with Trump or anyone else
becoming a
dictator that's the opposite of being a
republican it's right in the name well
it's not right in the name but the the
whole point of being a republican is you
like the
Constitution there's no such thing as a
republican who also kind of wants a
dictator as long as the dictator is a
good one and on their side that's not a
thing there there are zero Republicans
who would have been over okay with some
kind of a coup zero I I've never even
heard it privately I've never heard
anybody whisper about it I've never
heard anybody say you know it wasn't a
coup but honestly if it had been I would
have been Allin no there there's no
Republican find me one Republican who
would have ever had that a point of view
it's not a thing now let's compare the
the Insurrection narrative to what I
call the more rational
explanation here's the rational
explanation that you never see on the
the fake news so if it wasn't an
Insurrection Scott what was
it if it wasn't an Insurrection what was
it what was it Scott what was it well
maybe it was exactly what they said it
was maybe if you simply asked all the
people you believed were involved what
is it you were trying to
accomplish maybe do that maybe just ask
them hey what was in your mind what were
you trying to
do don't you think that matters there
were thousands of people there why not
just ask them why were you there what
were you trying to accomplish I've asked
them so on behalf of the news that
didn't do his job let me tell you what
they would say
they would
say we thought the election looked
sketchy and we wanted a little timeout
to check to see if this problem was what
we thought it was which was the election
was stolen so we were trying to protect
the election we were trying to protect
the outcome and we're trying to protect
the country protect the Republic and
make sure that all of us all Americans
got the result that they thought they
voted for
but what about those fake electors Scott
what about the fake electors well why
don't we ask them what they intended to
do what they intended to do if you ask
them is to uh preserve their legal
challenge now did they do it right A lot
of people would say
no but does anybody doubt the
intent does anybody have any question
about the
intention no the intention was to
preserve their legal right now they
thought that could lead to Trump staying
in office but that would require of
course that somebody looked into the
election and found some problem with it
which never
happened all right so if you don't like
debunking that let's talk about
debunking climate change which looks
like it's going to fall any moment um
Steve Malloy who's been debunking
climate stuff forever uh here's what he
says now I'm going to say I don't know
if his facts are the same as the
official facts so you have to watch out
if everybody's using the same sources of
data and I don't know the answer to that
but here's what he says that for the
last nine years uh the temperature has
on average gone
down
um and you therefore you would have to
believe that over that time 450 billion
tons of
CO2 got into the air between 2015 and
2023 and it didn't do what it was
predicted to
do and then on top of that so so that's
the first claim so the first claim is
that the temperatures didn't go up but
the CO2 CO2 went up massively and if
you're only talking about one year or
two years you'd say okay we we didn't
claim every single year was going to be
a straight line up just the average
would but it would be pretty hard to
argue that over an eight or ninee
period that you didn't see any impact of
climate change none at the period when
it was the most CO2 not only in the air
but the most added to the air and in
that entire
time
um in that entire
time that uh I was just looking at a
reframe that somebody had is pretty good
um so in that entire time nothing went
up now remember the claim is that the
temperatures do not show warming over
that period I'm pretty sure the climate
change people would say it did so they
might be looking at different data I
don't there's I have some questions
there uh but then there's also a tonga
volcano that uh erupted in 2022 which
some say this is in Zero Hedge that uh
accounted for basically all of the extra
warmth
so you didn't debunk anything Brian snik
died oh there's some is there somebody
here who doesn't know uh that Brian
snck you know that's a fake story
right there's somebody yelling in all
caps you didn't debunk anything Brian
snik died no you unfortunately you got
some fake news
there so he just wants to say it over
and over again yeah no you got fake news
done that check your news you'll find
out you've been you've been
hoaxed uh meanwhile John Deere has
released a statement saying they're uh
backing off on their Dei policies and
they're going to commit to just helping
their customers now so I think they're
going to get rid of some of their Dei
stuff and stop focusing on pronouns and
stuff like that and that would be big
win for Robbie
Starbuck who was the person who who
originally noticed and started uh
started advocating that they changed
their ways and got enough public
attention on it that they actually
backed off now some say maybe they'll
just change the names of things and keep
going but honestly they look pretty
serious about
it right they look pretty
serious all right right um there's a
study that said uh 2third of children's
calories come from Ultra processed foods
so no surprise that kids are not healthy
two-thirds of their calories come from
processed foods now you probably saw the
leaked uh audio and video of RFK Jr
talking to Trump and they were talking
quite in a friendly way and Trump seemed
to be
indicating um
oh somebody saying if the riot didn't
happen the policeman wouldn't have died
okay well that's just a whole different
claim yeah so that that's a stupid claim
so stop being
stupid I I I have a a comment here is
just stupid so stop being stupid
okay yeah just stop being stupid I
there's nothing else to say about that
just don't be stupid anymore in public
be be stupid in private
that'd be
better anyway if RFK Jr did have any
interest in working with Trump um I
would love to see him working on this uh
big issue which is our food supply and
our
vaccine
process uh need to be relooked at and uh
it sounded like Trump was sort of
hinting in that direction that maybe he
would have a role and of course he's
running for running against Trump so
he's not going to say yes to anything
like that but I think Trump made it
clear that he could work with RFK junr
if if it was the right right fit which
would be Unity that would be
unity and uh here's a study you probably
didn't know about this but new study
says that uh orgasms can help women with
stress well who knew that but it's more
than
that um other Studies have also shown
that orgasms can help you with pain
relief they can help you with reduce
migraines they can boost your
immunity it can unblock your
nose uh it's good for your heart
health and uh it also boost your
Feelgood hormones like your oxytocin and
your dopamine and stuff like that now
I don't know if you've ever heard me say
this before
but I could have saved them a lot of
money yeah you didn't really need to
check that uh Scott we're we're thinking
of doing this study to find out if
orgasms make people feel
better I'm going to say yes oh thank you
wow you just saved us
$200,000 ah you're welcome is there
anything else I can do for you well
we're also wondering if if it reduced
your stress especially for
women
yes oh wow you just saved us another
$200,000 we I swear we were going to
study that but you knew the answer all
log I did I did I I knew that one how
about
uh it'll boost your
immunity yes it
will all right here's my serious answer
I swear I'm not making this
up
probably 40 years ago I
discovered that no matter how badly I
felt or what kind of sickness or illness
or pain I had I could kind of make it
all go
away and I said to myself wait a minute
this can't be a coincidence that when
you get in that certain mode that all
your problems go away like you I don't I
don't have a mental problem but I also
didn't have physical problems like it
would make the flu go away I mean not go
away but it wouldn't hurt at least while
you were in that mode and here was my
hypothesis I developed literally 40
years
ago that your mating
Instinct uh is so strong that it will
erase your other problems
so in other words your body is made to
reproduce so you put it in a mating
Instinct mode even if you're all by
yourself if you're in your mating
Instinct mode and your body is
registering mating then it goes to its
highest health situation in other words
it it puts you in the best situation to
complete the task because if you wanted
to mate but you had a stomach ache well
maybe you'd not do it
if you wanted to mate but you had a
migraine well you probably wouldn't be
in the mood if you wanted to mate but
you I don't know you you felt uh some
pain you probably wouldn't do it so I
had noticed that being in that orgasmic
you know mindset uh makes all your pain
go
away and I had always
hypothesized that there must be an
obvious and logical evolutionary reason
which is you're better at reproducing if
your body is all working right and so
that the moment you have an opportunity
to be an a mating moment even if you're
by yourself that your body just says all
right we're going to fix everything your
immune system is boosted your pain goes
away your migraine's gone you got a
little more energy how about a little
oxytocin would you like some dopamine
because you need the dopamine to act you
know that's the thing that actually
makes you do a thing
so no it was not difficult to understand
that this was going to be good for
people now that ladies and gentlemen
concludes my prepared marks and uh
thanks for
joining if you're on the xor rumble or
um YouTube platforms make sure you pick
