Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you're lucky to be here because it's the best time you'll ever have in your life. And if you like to take this experience up to levels that your dopamine can barely support, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass or tankard or a jug or flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.
Technology is working. People streaming in. There's love everywhere in the air. Should we do a great show? Sure, I think you deserve it.
Boy, I got to remind you. So I had, famously I talk about it too much, I had some food poisoning last week and followed by a week of stomach aches until my body chemistry recovered, which I did yesterday. And so yesterday I had my first full day of feeling good, followed by waking up well rested and feeling good today. And I have to remind myself that my body and my brain are just part of the same tool. Because everything I didn't like yesterday or the day before was fine after my stomach stopped hurting. So it turns out that my preferences, my filter on life, what was good or bad, my entire dopamine situation was completely altered by my body. And it made me think my brain was having a bad time. As soon as my body was better, brain on point, everything's fine.
So I always think it's a mistake to imagine that your brain and your body are separate creatures. It's just your brain. Your body's part of your brain. If you treat it that way, you're going to get much better results. So do your exercise and your diet and get that right.
Well, apparently there's reports that NORAD intercepted Russian and Chinese bombers near Alaska yesterday. I don't worry about that. You know, maybe they were testing the air defenses. Maybe they're testing us politically. But they weren't going to attack. There's not really any chance that China is going to attack mainland United States because our president looks wonky, or Russia. So no, there's no real risk of a nuclear war breaking out because the president's in bad shape. I'm pretty sure that our adversaries now, well first of all that a war with the United States under any situation would be catastrophic for everybody. But they also know that if we look like we don't have a leader, that would change one minute after they attacked. It would take one minute for somebody to say, Biden, sit over there, and we'll do what we have to do. So no, we're not really in any danger. Long term, I mean you could imagine that if this were a long-term situation, yes. But six months? No. The adversary is going to wait it out for sure.
Well, Kamala did her first ad of 2024. And wokeness is reporting on X that lots of Pride flags and hardly any white men. And the only white man featured was Trump's mug shot and then a white guy maybe shown from the back. And that was it. All the faces were women. It was just women. And so I want you to look at it and you tell me if it's an anti-male ad. I think it is. I think there's nothing being hidden at this point. It's men against women. And you know the women who are on the right tend to like men, so they're basically on the same side. But on the left it's really just the women. And whoever Kamala picks for a vice president is going to have to put up with a lot of humiliation because she'll probably pick a man. I think she'll pick a man because it would be too on the nose to have two women running at the same time. It would be a little too obvious that it's women against the men. So they're going to have to pick a beta male of the people who have been suggested so far. Who is the most beta male? I saw that Mark Kelly. So I saw that Mark Kelly was one of the people suggested. But he seems to be a little bit alpha. Would you agree? I don't know anything about him but just based on resume and physical appearance and stuff. So he looks a little alpha. So I don't think you can pick an alpha male because that would be just disgusting to the women who run the Democrat party. So it can't be an alpha male. So you should eliminate anybody who looks like they could be an alpha male in a different context. That would just be the wrong fit.
Now some say what about Buttigieg. I think Buttigieg would be its own problem because he's not exactly killed it in any domain. And maybe he'd get the gay vote. But the gay vote's already Democrat. They don't need to get the gay vote, do they? They already have it. So I don't know what he would add. I don't know that he would be really highly likely to be a president after that. So it wouldn't be setting him up for the next election. So I don't know that they really have any good choices. We'll see. We'll see. Could be that they'll pick somebody that hasn't been spoken about yet. So it would have to be somebody who's probably not a woman, probably not LGBTQ, because I think the country is not ready. I'm ready. You're ready. I think most of us are ready. I mean ready is even the wrong word. We wouldn't see it as relevant to doing the job. But I don't know if it's electable the way the country is. So I don't think they would put somebody in they didn't think could really help. So who would it be? I feel like anybody they pick would give somebody a reason to not vote for them. But I can't imagine who they would add that would make Kamala more likely to get elected. So this will be really interesting. We'll see what they come up with.
All right. Netanyahu addressed Congress. Of course super political. And Biden wasn't there and Harris wasn't there and JD Vance wasn't there. But you know they have reason. They're trying to run for president and I don't think they need to run back because there's an allied country's leader in town. So I have no problem whatsoever that somebody had something better to do. But if you're looking for the highlights from that, Netanyahu said that the people who are the gays for Gaza are like, it's like saying that you're a chicken for KFC. Now apparently that got a lot of attention. And it was like an applause line. But you've all heard that a hundred times, right? Is there anybody here who had never heard somebody say that the gays for Hamas were kind of like chickens for KFC? You've all heard that, right?
So here's one of those interesting situations where it wasn't well written but he already knew it worked. So it was a cliche that maybe not everybody had heard yet. So it looked like it was a home run in terms of persuasion. And it got picked up and it was reported everywhere. So he probably made a dent. Probably made a dent. Only because conservatives have been saying this forever. They've been saying gays for Gaza is like chickens for KFC. I don't know who said it first. But maybe because it's a big line from now a big public event, maybe that penetrates. I would love to see if somebody who followed that news and who is a gay for Gaza, I'd love to see if they could kind of process that. It'd be fascinating.
Anyway, what else did he say? He said I have a message for these protesters. Because the event was protested in a big way. When the tyrant of Tehran who hangs gays from cranes and murders women for not covering their hair are appraising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots. Then there was a big applause for the line "useful idiots." And I said to myself again that's the most cliched thing you could ever say in public. There's somebody who's somebody's useful idiot. I mean on social media you just hear it literally every day. Oh you're the useful idiot for Russia. So amazingly it was the most cliche filled thing you've ever seen. But apparently they landed because not everybody hears all the same cliches. But Nancy Pelosi wasn't too happy about it. She said that Netanyahu's presentation in the house chamber today was quote by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States.
So I guess she is in favor of Biden's hostage peace plan now. I don't know what that is. I guess that's pause the fighting, trade the hostages, and then let Hamas reconstitute. Why is that even in a conversation? It's the weirdest thing. Like has anybody ever been in a conversation with let's say an Israeli who knew what they're talking about, let's say a government person, and say we think you should stop the fighting and then we could get those hostages back? Wouldn't the Israeli, whoever it was, say well you realize what you're promoting is rebuilding the situation that caused all the problems, which is Hamas in charge next to us and having access to things and money? What would they say to that? Would they say oh don't worry because Hamas is only angry because you mistreated them. So the moment you stop mistreating them things should be fine and peace will break out and then you can live in one big country or two, whichever way you're going, and everybody will be fine. Does anybody believe that?
Yeah, I saw some people on the street interviews of Palestinians over in the West Bank and it seemed to me that every one of them was in favor of October 7th and thought that killing Jews was totally appropriate and that they should all die. How in the world do you reconstitute that and say here's your country back, here's your city, hope we didn't break anything, we'll fund you to rebuild. Israel is doing literally the only thing it can do. So to imagine that there are two paths, it's like oh you didn't pick the right path. There's only one path. The only one path is to suppress their enemies as hard as possible for as long as possible. What happens in the long run is not looking good. But what else are you going to do?
Thomas Massie skipped it. He said he didn't want to be part of political theater. And he says Netanyahu being here is to bolster his political standing in Israel to quell international opposition to the war. Doesn't want to be a prop. I respect that. I have to admit he's completely right that it was a theatrical event for brainwashing and propaganda. But the government is mostly a brainwashing operation and propaganda operation. So most of what we do are that. Yeah, if he wants to call it out as a theater that it is, I think that's fair. He will of course be called anti-semitic and AIPAC will be after him, etc.
All right. So Biden addressed the country. And apparently some people like me were thinking that if it were real and it were live it would be late. Meaning that if I turned on the TV right at five o'clock it's very unlikely that I would see Biden talking. So I waited until I don't know 17 minutes after and I turned it on. I'm like wait a minute it already happened. How's that possible? And then some other smarter people took a closeup look at his watch and apparently his watch had a different time than the time it started. Meaning it was recorded. Now you didn't have to look at his watch to suspect it was recorded because he was speaking so haltingly and so slurring and so poorly and his energy was so low and he looked like he might die while he was talking. Frankly he was in bad, bad shape. It would be hard to imagine that he did that in one take, first take. Very hard to imagine. So it would have been absurd for them to do that live. It would have been absurd. It would have been honestly it would be like some kind of weird malfeasance or fiduciary responsibility. It would have been super irrational and dumb to do that live. So at least they played it smart.
You know I can't get too excited about anything that happened in his speech because he's no longer terribly relevant. But a few things he said were he didn't give a reason for why he quit except for unity over personal ambition. So he took a few cuts at Trump. And he wants to save the democracy, which of course is what they tell the brainwashed people who think their democracy is at risk.
Let's check on the democracy since the Democrats are quite concerned about democracy. Let's do a little audit from the headlines to see if there's anything about the democracy that's questionable. Well there's the O'Keefe Media Group. James O'Keefe is looking into this Democrat funding group called ActBlue. And you're probably surprised at how much money suddenly flowed into Kamala Harris as soon as she became the obvious candidate. Who's going to be the wealthy candidate? And apparently ActBlue is collecting thousands of contributions from like one person. Not one person but there are individuals, multiple individuals who are donating thousands of times and donating tens of thousands of dollars. It's all fake. In other words somehow this organization, according to O'Keefe that would be the allegation, they probably knowingly, I don't know about the knowingly but there seems to be evidence that their money is being laundered. And that would mean it's coming from some large big source and then it gets turned artificially into lots of fake contributions from individuals. So one person could put in a million dollars but then the paperwork would look like it came from a hundred thousand different people who gave ten dollars or whatever. So I don't know if any of that's true. Those are the allegations and O'Keefe Media Group is on it.
Then we've all watched this really just head shaking experience where we all thought that Kamala Harris was the border czar. Do you know why we all thought Kamala Harris was the border czar? It's because the government told us and then every news source told us. Every news source, the left, the right, all of them. And then as soon as she's running for president and the border was a big disaster the news is telling us she was never the border czar. My God you lying Republicans. Why are you calling her a border czar when she was never any kind of a border czar? And then all the memers got the compilation videos together. So my favorite one you've seen by now is the one that shows the news calling her a border czar and then the same news network saying whoever called her a border czar she's never been a border czar. And then it goes to the next network. So it's like CNN then MSNBC. She's the border czar. She's been Kamala Harris. She's the border czar. Clip. She's not a border czar. Who, why are they even saying that? That Republicans just making up stuff now. Why are they saying the border czar? It's unfuckingbelievable to watch it happen live.
So do you think that brainwashing is real? Of course it is. This is just pure brainwashing. If you ever imagined that the news was a legitimate news organization, well this should change your mind pretty quickly. And how many Democrats are aware that this switcheroo is happening? None. None. Maybe Michael Ian Black because he was brave enough to open a channel with the other side of the world. So maybe he's seen it. But I'll bet you 99.99999 percent have never seen that she was definitely, absolutely, no doubt about it called the border czar by all the media that says she's never been the border czar. Hilariously, will this matter? Nope. No. You would think that this would be like a gigantic scandal. You know why it's not a gigantic scandal? Because it's the news. The news doesn't tell you that they are a gigantic scandal. The news just takes you to the next story. So there's nobody to report them as a gigantic scandal because it's about them. Now of course you know Fox News will have its fun and Breitbart will have its fun and a bunch of independent right-wing media will have its fun. But nobody on the left will see it. So it will have no impact on the election whatsoever. They will be completely unaware that this is brainwashing.
Meanwhile there was a site called GovTrack. So it was a nonpartisan platform and they would rank people based on how liberal they are. So in 2019 they had ranked Kamala Harris as the most liberal senator. But that page just disappeared. Huh. Isn't that interesting? It was up there and then it disappeared. Now maybe it disappeared because she's not currently a senator. That's a possibility. So I don't want to assume that I know that what's really going on here. But are you suspicious that something that used to be really bad for her re-election just sort of disappeared? Well I've got questions. I don't know for sure. There wasn't a real reason for it. I don't know that. What am I seeing here? Yeah so if they just deleted it it's definitely, if it was deleted some time ago then maybe there was some reasons that she wasn't a current sitting senator or something like that. But if it just happened, it's hard to imagine there's any reason other than the fact she's running for president.
What about the search engines? Well we got questions about that. Elijah Schaffer was looking into that. Vigilant Fox was reporting on X. And it looks like something fishy is going on. If new audit reveals, I'm not sure what an audit, you know that word might be stretched a little bit, but some experimentation let's say with the Google and YouTube search results. It's really hard to find negative news about candidate Harris. Turns out if you search on YouTube or you search on Google you get a lot of hits. Will they be real? Well it looks like they're gamed. Now we know from Dr. Robert Epstein's research, no relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, that a small change in the Google search results changes the vote. Does this look like a small change in the Google search results? Yes it does. Should according to Dr. Epstein would this change the election outcome? Yes it would. Is this brainwashing? Yes it is. This is brainwashing. Yeah, yeah. Calling it propaganda feels like underplaying it. This is actually just brainwashing.
So let's look at the MSNBC brainwashing channel. MSNBC's Joy Reid is telling black people that they would look real weird in her view if they don't vote for Kamala Harris. Quote, you're going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line particularly as a person of color, Reid said. And she gushed over Biden's dropout address and said this was selfless on a level I think that's important in a way that we talk about George Washington being selfless. Yeah, clinging to the job until it's almost too late to replace them, giving the country no real choice until they have to act against the let's say the traditions and rules of their own party to pick somebody at the last minute and try to slot them in with some hope that they can win an election. It's because Joe Biden was so selfless like George Washington. Do you know what offends me about this? She just compared the president of the United States to a slave owner. That's too far. I don't think Joy Reid should be allowed to slime Biden by calling him a slave owner. I mean by association. If she's reminding you of a slave owner I don't think that's good, is it?
All right well you know I'm being facetious but certainly you can't call MSNBC any kind of a news channel. They're into serious brainwashing. But what about other people? Maria Shriver used to be married to Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course part of the Kennedy family. So she's a big Democrat. She posted on X, it's worth noting how different men with power behave. President Biden had all the power in the world and he gave it up. He passed it on. He is reminding us what strong brave men do. All right is Maria Shriver brainwashed or dumb? I can't tell. Or is she just lying? Brainwashed, dumb or lying. Really can't tell. It's a tough one. I don't think she's stupid because would Arnold marry somebody who was stupid? I don't think so. And there's no evidence that she's stupid. She seems very high functioning capable person. So I'm going to rule out stupid. Let's rule out stupid. She's obviously too smart for that. Is she brainwashed or does she know what she's doing? I don't know. It's hard to know.
Let's do another one. So Representative Burchett, Republican, called Kamala Harris a DEI hire. And so CNN had a guest on to remind us that when you hear DEI you should think the n-word. Is that what DEI means to you? You should think the n-word. DEI isn't about black people. Why does their black guest think that DEI is about black people? That's not about black people. It's about diversity in general of all kinds. Sexual, gender preference, religious, every kind of ethnic group. So it's definitely not a replacement for the n-word. But you know CNN's not a serious news organization during a political election certainly. And it looks like the attack will be to call people who say DEI is a bad system, to call them racists. Now I'm cancelled so I can keep saying it all I want. The rest of you you better be careful because it's going to get, I think it will be soon a firing offense to say somebody is a DEI hire if it's not already. It probably is in corporate America. But I can say it because it's true. You know who else can say it? President Biden. Because when he talked about Kamala he said to me the value of diversity, equality and inclusion, in other words DEI, are literally the core strengths of America. That's why I'm proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. It starts at the top with the vice president. So there he is saying that she is under the DEI umbrella of hiring. Now Burchett would think she's unqualified. Biden would say she is qualified. But we're looking, we can see for ourselves that she's not qualified, right? You don't have to be super partisan to see it. The reason she got zero delegates on her own team is because her own team felt she was unqualified, right? So we shouldn't be having a conversation about whether she's qualified because both teams have kind of come to the same conclusion. Except that they don't like Trump so they're going to act like she is because even unqualified is better than Trump they would say. But we're certainly in agreement that she's not the best choice for the job. And DEI is of course the reason. Of course it's the reason.
Now of course there's a big push on Trump's going to steal your democracy. And I'm disappointed in Republicans for not already having a list of ways that the Democrats and Kamala Harris plan to steal your democracy. What is wrong with you people? You people Republicans in charge of Trump's campaign. This is obviously missing. You need a tight list. Maybe 10 things would be good. 10 things that everybody agrees is happening that are clearly taking away your freedom. Because they're just simply saying that Trump is going to steal your democracy and you look at their examples and they're just batshit crazy. I said this before. One of their ways that he's trying to steal your democracy is by keeping guns legal as the Constitution would suggest. Because if you're less safe you have less freedom and guns make you less safe she would argue. That's an actual argument for how they're taking your freedom and your democracy. Now that's pretty crazy stuff. But let's see if you could make a better argument the other way. Is there anything that they're doing? Well we know that Kamala Harris has said she's interested in potentially limiting the eating of red meat for the climate I guess. So you have cows farting up the air. So is that freedom? Telling you that you can't eat the most basic food in the human diet for a hundred thousand years that as far as we know is completely healthy. So which one's freedom? Now she would probably define it as say well if we get rid of the cows you'll have the freedom to be free from climate change which doesn't appear to be real if you look at their own climate predictions and projections and compare it to what they've predicted and projected. There seems to be no reality to it.
Then the Democrats would like to limit what car you can buy so you can only buy an electric car. Trump says he's not a big fan of the electric car but so you should definitely be able to buy an electric car. It's great for some people but you should have the option to buy the more. Which one's taking your democracy? The one that says you can buy the vehicle you want or the one that says you can't? It's kind of easy.
What do you think? Open borders. Are open borders helping your democracy in the United States? It looks like that's the opposite. The open borders appear to be designed for the specific purpose of thwarting democracy. Stacking people in areas that will give you more representation, more electoral votes. Bring in people who may be part of a fraudulent campaign for the election. We don't know yet but it looks like that's the only reason to bring them in. So it looks like you're rigging an election to me. That looks like stealing your democracy.
How about dividing us by identity? Did dividing the country by identity and continually pushing the us versus them within the public, is that making you freer? More democracy? Well it's free speech but you know both sides at that sort of. I don't think that's making me freer. There are entire places that it feels like it would be dangerous to go if you wore your MAGA hat. How many of you have ever avoided a place because the country was just too hot now and you knew that if they identified you as a let's say a Trump supporter you'd be in trouble? Probably all of you. So you can't even travel to places and wear what you want. You can't even wear the shirt that you want in the United States. You cannot wear a pro-Trump shirt without getting your ass kicked. That's the freedom that they've given you. And that certainly never existed before.
How about DEI? Is DEI an example of freedom and democracy? It literally says white men can't get jobs. Now I know that if you're the one Democrat watching this you're saying Scott you fool it's not about preference for a race it's about giving everybody an equal chance. No you idiots. In the real world if you make that a priority then less qualified people will of course be hired so that you don't violate the diversity rules. Of course you'll hire less qualified people. Now that doesn't mean everybody's less qualified. It means you're going to pick a less qualified one if you can't find one that's qualified. But of course there are plenty people qualified but not enough, not nearly enough for all the demand. So as long as you've got that supply and demand imbalance you will hire in unqualified people like Kamala Harris because you got to hit the target. And the target is diversity not country runs better not company makes more money.
All right well I don't think my first take is very good but I think you could come up with a better list of things. I would add the three Democrat primaries are rigged. I would add the massive brainwashing operation that tries to be news. Do you think democracy is about your news sources being obvious brainwashers? That feels like the opposite from democracy because free speech is kind of important. Tried to close down Twitter, tried to put Musk out of business, trying to jail the January 6th protesters, canceling people for free speech, limiting gun ownership. That's the freedom they're going to give you. That's your freedom. So there should be a list of 10 things that Kamala wants to take away from your freedom.
All right so I continue to be fascinated by this venture capitalist named Vinod Khosla. So he's a billionaire investor. He'd been one of the co-founders of Sun Microsystems long time ago. And he had said some bad things about MAGA people but he wanted to clarify. He said to be clear MAGA for me is somebody who agrees with Trump on quote election denialism and supports the January 6th insurrection attempt. To me that is unforgivable. Not all Republicans are MAGA. Normal Republicans just have different priorities on the critical issues. Independents like me have a position that is in the middle generally. Now I can't tell is he stupid or brainwashed. Now again like with Maria Shriver it seems impossible that he's stupid, right? It kind of seems impossible because he has a long storied career of doing things that only smart people can do. So I think he's just brainwashed.
So as a public service I gave him a long response and I said and I quote you were brainwashed on the J6 narrative. News hasn't been real since the early 60s at least. Now people have asked me Scott how do you deal with people who are brainwashed because you can't have a debate with them. You'd agree right? You can't have a debate with somebody who's been brainwashed. It just can't be done because they have a whole different fact set and they think you made yours up. That's how they've been brainwashed. So I would say that instead you should go after the brainwashing not the argument. Now you want to go after the brainwashing first so that they can maybe get a context for how they've been fooled about everything. If you go after the facts they'll just say that's not true you're lying that's not true I reject you and that's the end of it. If you say you've been brainwashed and here's the evidence that you've been brainwashed maybe you have a way in with some people. It's not going to work for too many. So I started that way. I said you were brainwashed on the January 6th narrative. News hasn't been real since the early 60s at least. And I said Trump and supporters genuinely believed and still believe it was obvious the election had been stolen and they demanded a pause to check their election claims. In other words they were trying to stop a coup. Any nonsense with alternate electors would get sorted out by the courts. You can't conquer a country with creative paperwork. Trump left office on schedule. Democrats claimed Russia rigged the 2016 election for Trump. They ran the Russia collusion hoax which was literally a coup attempt anyway. And then I said you were brainwashed if you want to test that claim do you believe Trump called neo-Nazis fine people or that he suggested drinking bleach? If you're looking for the active part of the persuasion that was it. That was the active part. Everything else was a setup for that last sentence. If you want to test that claim that you were brainwashed do you believe Trump called neo-Nazis fine people or they suggested drinking bleach? Here's what he probably did. If he read it you know he got a lot of responses so there's no reason to think he read it but if he did he probably said to himself but he did call the neo-Nazis fine people and he did suggest drinking bleach. And then if his brain is as smart as I think it is the next thing that happens is um I do believe that he called neo-Nazis fine people but nobody would do that in public. Nobody would. What happens if I Google it and Google it as a hoax. He's very close to finding out that the pillars upon which he built his entire belief system are literally brainwashing. And when I use brainwashing I don't mean it as a hyperbole. I mean it right on target. No Venn diagram problems. It's not just slightly overlapping with brainwashing. It's not a little bit like it. It's not just reminding me of it. It's all the tools of brainwashing right in front of you right down the middle of the road brainwashing. And if you try to have a conversation with somebody who's obviously been brainwashed you're not going to get anywhere. You're going to have to deal with the fact that it is brainwashing and you're going to have to go back to none of your news is real. And then they'll say but your Fox News isn't real. And here's what you have to say. Sometimes it is probably wrong but there's a difference. On the left these elaborate hoaxes are built by the top of the Democrats and then the news coordinates to sell the hoaxes. Nothing like that happens on the right. The right has its conspiracy theories and gets some stuff wrong no doubt about it but it's never coordinated. I would know. I mean I'm close enough to the people who do things that matter that I would know if there was any coordination. There's none. But with the Democrats it's clearly and obviously coordinated brainwashing. They don't have any sense that they're telling the truth. Certainly with this border czar thing you can see it very clearly. So I would say if you're going to debate the brainwashed you should publicly label them as brainwashed because sometimes public exposure may be more important than your good arguments.
All right. Harry Enten on CNN is saying that Trump's more popular than he's ever been. He's up to depending on the poll 40 to 46 percent favorability which doesn't sound that great but it's the highest it's ever been for Trump. And that nationally according to their new poll Trump is up by one over Harris whereas he was up by four over Biden. But probably doesn't mean anything because Trump lost the national vote by what was it? No I've got these numbers backwards but the basic idea is this. Forget all the numbers I just gave you. The basic idea is that Trump may be barely ahead or essentially tied in the overall country vote but all that matters is the electoral situation and Trump is dominating in that. Rasmussen has a poll it says if it were just Trump versus Harris Trump would be up by seven 50 percent to 43 but since he won't be alone in a six-way matchup if you throw in all the other candidates Rasmussen would get you to Trump gets 49 to 42. So still a dominant position even with the other people thrown in. We shall watch the polls going forward. I think that it's going to get real interesting.
Trump has announced that if he gets elected he wants to build an iron dome to protect the country. So he'll build the wall and he'll build the dome. Do you want an iron dome? Yes you do. And he'll build it in America and deploy it in America. I think we need an iron dome. I really think we do. Yeah if the only thing it did was you know it could knock that one nuke out of the air that was going to start a nuclear war if that's the only thing it did it'd be worth half a trillion dollars. So we'll see if that happens. And by the way I would call this an example of future proofing the country right? Yeah you have to future proof the country. There will be more things that are deadly coming at us from the air. You got to get ready for it. It's going to take a while to get ready. So you got to future proof the country in that one way.
All right. Christopher Wray. You've heard about some of this. So he testified to Congress and here are some of the things we learned. That the shooter had Googled how far away was Oswald from Kennedy. Probably trying to see if he's going to get off a good shot or not. There are suggestions that the FBI has not gotten into all of the accounts that Crooks had. They're doing some legal things to get access to them but he had some other devices and maybe some other gaming platforms. They're not entirely sure. There was one report that he might have had an account on the Gab social media but I don't believe that yet. So I would put a pin in that one and wait to see if that's confirmed. No evidence of accomplice or co-conspirators. He was described as a loner. His AR style rifle had a collapsible stock which answers one of my big questions. So he must have had it in his backpack at one point. He had a backpack so that would explain why he wasn't spotted so easily with a rifle. It was folded up. Wray confirmed that Crooks fired approximately eight times. They only have approximate. That's interesting. Before being killed. So that would be nine shots or would it be 10 because I think one of the snipers missed him once. So we're a little uncertain how many bullets were flying around. They confirmed that Crooks bought a five foot ladder but they didn't find it which means he didn't bring it to the scene. Which would fit with the fact that he climbed up some of the AC stuff to get on the roof. So he didn't need the ladder and he may have figured that out after he bought it. Let's see he flew his drone around a few hours before. We heard that. He had three relatively crude explosive devices that didn't look like they were active with transmitters. And Mike Benz reminds us that a tell for FBI being involved meaning working a source to radicalize him so that they can capture him later after he gets radicalized. Apparently Mike Benz says that teaching a loner to make crude bombs is a really classic signal that the FBI was behind the whole thing or at least behind weaponizing them. Now is that enough of evidence to say my God the FBI was behind it? No. But I would agree with Mike Benz based on his examples that it's a real strong signal that somebody was behind him. Now who I don't know but you could certainly imagine it was somebody who had FBI like training. You know not necessarily the FBI but it could be somebody who came from that world or knew that world or was an anti-Trumper and thought he'd take. It's possible there is one person somewhere in the world who activated and brainwashed this one loner and is actually the assassin. So we know the shooter but we don't know the assassin because it seems likely somebody was running him. Do you feel that the idea that he had so little social media presence and yet as a loner he pulled this thing off? It doesn't really track. It tracks like he was impressing somebody. As in somebody became important to him and he needed to impress them. That's what it looks like. So it looks like he was trained and maybe he wanted to impress somebody. I do wonder if he thought he was going to get away with it. There were at least two instances according to Director Wray where FBI officials expressed disappointment that Trump survived the assassination attempt. And at least one of them is you know action is being taken. I assume the other one as well. But I don't know how to judge that except that people are terrible. We know the FBI had some people who hate Trump. We know that they had people who liked him. And we know that people say terrible things after situations like this. So you know I'm not sure how much to weight that. Not too much.
All right so the Congress the House has authorized a task force to look into the attempted assassination and it's going to be bipartisan and it will not include that Benny Thompson guy that the Republicans wanted to make sure he wasn't on there. But he wasn't even interested anyway. Does it bother you that Congress has only found unity over one thing ever and that unity was to protect themselves? Literally to protect themselves because the Secret Service is part of their protection as well. So I'm kind of disgusted by the unity. Like as much as you hate the disunity to see that the only time they come together really is when it's about their own safety. That's a real bad look. Even though I agree it should be a bipartisan investigation but I also don't believe it'll be real. I don't think they'll investigate anything because they can only investigate what the FBI tells them. And if the FBI doesn't tell them more than they want to tell them well what kind of investigation is that?
There's a study that says nearly 4 in 10 US adults worry about their family income not being enough to meet expenses according to CNN poll. And that's up from 28 percent in 2021. Similar to the numbers seen during the Great Depression. We might need to plan to make food available. I hope the government has some kind of a plan for literal starvation because I don't know how close we are to the falling over ledge. But between the national debt and the affordability problem of just basics I think that one of the things that might happen is people just stop paying mortgage and rent. Just stop. And if some people do it then there's a legal process to remediate. So you know you go through the process and maybe the police come to your house and kick you out or something. But if you have four in 10 who can't meet their basic bills I think they're going to stop paying mortgage and they're going to stop paying rent. And if so many people do it at the same time there won't be anything you can do. If you're a landlord you'll have no recourse. It'll be it. So my biggest worry is that the people who can't afford things will organize and they'll say if you own this home or you're a bank that has the mortgage you're rich. I can't afford to eat so I'm going to steal from you rich people the way I can steal from rich people which is not paying the rent. Now if you happen to be struggling yourself and your only income was that rental unit you had you're going to be poor too and you're going to not pay your mortgage and you're not going to pay your loans. So I feel like there's a massive debt walkaway or bill paying walkaway that's coming because otherwise people won't be able to eat. They won't be able to pay their health care. So I'm a little bit worried. But on the good side the economy grew at reportedly 2.8 percent which was way faster than expected like twice as fast as expected and would be in the neighborhood of a good, that would be very solid if that kept up. But does anybody think that that's not going to be revised in a few months? So the pattern that we've seen is incredible good news to reelect the Democrats because of the incredible good news. And I think it'll be revised downward but it's way better than being negative so it's probably a healthy number. But as long as the debt is high it doesn't make any difference at all what it is. The doom is the debt and there's no GDP that can grow you out of it.
According to Theo Wald who is somebody I never heard of but you must be conservative one in five prisoners are illegal aliens. Have you ever heard that? One in five people in prison are not citizens. Now if that's true that would certainly give you an ability to calculate the amount of crime that's inappropriate. Here's what I think conservatives do wrong consistently. There'll be a story about a non-citizen who came in and killed a citizen and then there will be all kinds of attention given to that one case. And if you're trying to convince anybody on the left they're going to say hey why are you just focusing on this one crime? People of all type do crimes. It just makes you look racist. But if you were to argue 20 percent of all our crime appears to be from non-citizens people can see 20 percent as a really big number. If I were to ask you what is the total amount that the government spends on crime it's like maybe a trillion a year. I mean it's in that neighborhood right? And if 20 percent of that is unnecessary that's 200 billion a year. That starts to matter. That's a number that matters. So I would go for that one in five prisoners as a much more persuasive number than there was a bad one that got in and killed somebody. As tragic as that is it's not very persuasive.
All right the CBO according to The Hill came up with a calculation that says we're going to make over a trillion dollars extra in the next decade because of all the non-citizens who came into the country. But if you look at the details of how they calculated it and you've ever done any kind of economic calculation you can tell that it's complete nonsense. I think they probably tried but it's no more reliable than say the climate projection models. There are some things which by their nature can't be calculated. You're not going to be able to predict the temperature in 80 years and everybody who thinks that you can I don't even know what to say about that. That's so blindingly obviously not something humans can do. But here's another one that's blindingly obvious humans can't do this. You can't calculate the benefit of immigration because I think they did some clever things with excluding some groups and including some. But do you think that they netted out the crime? Do you think that the CBO said all right well we'll subtract the 200 billion per year so over 10 years that would be two trillion. So they added a trillion but they subtracted two trillion in just law enforcement and they took out another half a trillion in public services. Do you think that the CBO included the costs or just the benefits? Well I don't have to investigate it to know that they didn't include the costs. Do you? Of course not. Of course they didn't. They just looked at what the GDP would do. Now I've told you as well that there's one general rule that is pretty good that more people is a better economy. Now there's some upper limit to that of course but generally speaking immigration adds to the economy just maybe not right away for the people who come in. It might be a second generation sort of thing or 10 years later. But yeah adding immigration if it's done right. If it's not hugely criminal. I don't know what percentage is criminal but too much. If it's 20 percent in jail if 20 percent of our jail is came across the border illegally that should tell you something. Now I'm not sure about that 20 percent number by the way. If somebody wants to fact check me on that I will correct it tomorrow. But I guarantee you they did not calculate all the expenses and all the benefits. But I still think that immigration isn't that plus a big net plus. A very very big net plus if you're not replacing your own people and you do the vetting right so you get non-criminals.
All right here's some good news. There's a strange compound that was used to treat cancer that they found can extract rare earth metals from old tech. So you're worried about all those rare earth metals in your tossed out devices. They might be able to get most of it back. So if you're worried about running out of rare earth minerals well maybe we can just suck them out of the old devices and we'd be in good shape. There's also a new class of antibiotics that looks like it wouldn't be resistant. You know one of the big problems in the world is that we use antibiotics so much that everything just evolves to be immune to those antibiotics. So at some point there was worry that antibiotics would be useless. They would all be overused to the point where they don't work anymore. But there's a new one that looks like it has some strange properties that can kill all kinds of bad stuff without ever giving you some kind of immunity to the treatment itself.
And then the two AIs Gemini and ChatGPT I guess the MRC news researchers people asked them the following question. Let's see here's the question. Is comparing a public servant to Adolf Hitler is that demonizing them and demonizing them as an insurrectionist and deflectionist could that lead to potential violent acts? What do you think AI said? Could demonizing a person of course this is Trump as Hitler could it lead to violent actions? Yes. So AI just says yes. Yes again. Now so far we haven't seen AI and the brainwashing fake news have too much of a disagreement. This is one. It's not going to make a big dent but you wonder as things go forward who's going to check CNN when they can just ask ChatGPT right? So what happens if ChatGPT says yes Kamala Harris was the border czar when everyone in the news just said she wasn't? What's going to happen then? What's going to happen when you say ChatGPT could you look at the actions and plans of both the Democrats and whatever Trump wants to do and tell us which one looks like they're trying to reduce your democracy? What's AI going to say? Is AI going to say Trump's stealing your democracy? No it might look at it and say all right one wants you to have less of the things or fewer of the things that are specified in the Constitution such as gun ownership such as free speech such as equality by race. The most basic tenets of the Constitution are things that Kamala Harris has directly attacked. So she's pro DEI which is discriminating against white people in every practical way. Anti-gun which is of course the Second Amendment problem. And we've seen that they have a pattern of anti-free speech. So these are the most basic things. On top of that they seem to be gung-ho on registering non-citizens to vote. So even your right to vote is being watered down by Democrat actions because your vote gets thrown into a pool with some non-citizens. So it seems to me that in every way they're trying to make your vote not count, your opinion not count, your gun not count and anything else you want to not count like your money. So I don't think it's close who's stealing your democracy. But the brainwashers are in charge and the brainwashers are doing a good job. And I think I'm just going to use brainwashers and I don't think I'm going to argue them on too much detail or preferences. I'm just going to treat them like brainwashers and see if I can unwind them a little bit.
All right ladies and gentlemen that's all I got for you today. Thanks for joining. We'll probably have lots more news. I can't wait to find out what the VP choice will be because that's going to be just wildly interesting. Systematic sabotage by military ground troops? Well I don't know about that. Netflix donated to Kamala. Well there you go. Do you expect Netflix will do any pro-Trump content? I don't think so. Not a single student is proficient in reading or math at 55 Chicago schools. Well there you go. So Kamala Harris doesn't want you to have the freedom to take your kids to a different school. So add that to the list. So by the end of today I want to see a list of 10 ways that the Democrats are stealing your democracy. I would say that teachers unions are stealing your democracy. You know they are a form of democracy but their entire intention is to reduce your options so that's the opposite.
All right thanks for joining everybody on YouTube and Rumble. If you haven't seen the Dilbert Reborn comic that runs only here on X or on the Locals platform ScottAdams.locals.com you would see that Wall-E is testifying before Congress about Dilbert's company that destroyed the internet with their latest software patch. Might look familiar to you. Might look like something you've seen in the world anyway. So that's happening. And if you don't have a summer reading book get a copy of God's Debris the complete work. And that's all I got for you right now. I'll talk to the Locals people privately in one moment. Thanks for joining everybody.
well we'll have quite the show for you in a moment you're going to be so happy you're here it's good to see you thanks for coming in good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you're lucky to be here because it's the best time you'll ever have in your life and if you like to take this experience up to levels that your dopamine can barely support all you need is a cuper muger a glass of tanker shell aen Jugger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dope me of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous siping happens now go a technolog is working people streaming in there's love everywhere in the in the air should we do a great show sure I think you deserve it boy I got to remind you uh so I had a you know famously I talk about too much I had some food poisoning last week and followed by a week of stomach aches until my body chemistry recovered which I did yesterday and so yesterday I had my first full day of feeling good followed by waking up well rested and feeling good today and I have to remind myself that my body and my brain are just part of the same tool because everything I didn't like yesterday or the day before uh was fine after my stomach stopped hurting so it turns out that you know my preferences my filter on life you know what was good or bad you know my entire dopamine situation was uh completely altered by my body and it made me think my brain was having a bad time as soon as my body was better brain on Point everything's fine so I always think it's a mistake to imagine that your brain and your body are separate creatures it's just your brain your body's part of your brain if you treat it that way you're going to get much better results so do your exercise and your your diet and get that right well apparently there's reports that uh NORAD intercepted Russian and Chinese bombers near Alaska yesterday I don't worry about that you know maybe they were testing the air defenses is maybe they're testing us politically but they weren't going to attack there's not really any chance that China is going to attack mainland United States because our president looks wonky or Russia so no there's no real risk of a a nuclear war breaking out because the president's in bad shape I'm pretty sure that our adversaries now well first of all that a war with the United States under any situation would be catastrophic uh for everybody but they they also know that uh if we look like we don't have a leader that would change one minute after they attacked it would take one minute for somebody to say Biden sit over there and we'll do what we have to do so no we're not really in any danger um long term I mean you could imagine that If This Were a long-term situation yes but 6 months no the adver adversary is going to wait it out for sure well uh kamla did her first ad of 2024 and and wokeness is reporting on X that uh lots of Pride flags and hardly any white men and the only what I think the only white man featured was Trump's mug shot and then uh a white guy maybe shown from the back and that was it all the faces were women it was just women and so I want you to look at it and you tell me if it's an anti-male ad I think it is I I think I think there's nothing be hidden at this point it's men against women and you know the uh the women who are on the right tend to like men so they're basically on the same side but on the left it's really just the women and and whoever kamla picks for a vice president is going to have to put up with a lot of humiliation because she'll probably pick a man I think she'll pick a man because it would be too on the nose to have two women running at the same time it would be a little too obvious that it's women against the men so they're going to have to pick a beta male of the people who have been suggested so far who is the most beta male I I I saw that Greg Kelly or Mark Kelly Mark Kelly so I saw that Mark Kelly was one of the people suggested but he seems to be a little bit Alpha would you agree I don't know anything about him but just based on resume and you know physical appearance and and stuff so he looks a little a little Alpha so I don't think you can pick an alpha male because that would be just disgusting to the women who run the Democrat party so it can't be an alpha male so you should eliminate anybody who looks like they could be an alpha male in a different context that would just be the wrong fit now some say what about Budaj I think budajudge would be its own problem because he's not exactly you know killed it in any domain and you know maybe he'd get the gay vote but the gay vote's already Democrat they don't need to get the gay vote do they they already have it so I don't know what he would add um I don't know that he would be really highly likely to be a president after that so it wouldn't be setting him up for the next election so I don't know that they really have any good choices we'll see we'll see um could be that they'll pick somebody that hasn't been spoken about yet so it would have to be somebody it would have to be somebody who's probably not a woman probably not lgbtq because I think the country is not ready I'm ready you're ready I think most of us are ready I mean ready is even the wrong word we you know I wouldn't see it as relevant to doing the job but I don't know if it's electable you know the way the country is so I don't think they would put somebody in they didn't think could really help so who would it be I feel like anybody they pick would give somebody a reason to not vote for them but I can't imagine who they would add that would make it kamla more likely to get elected so this will be really interesting we we'll see what they come up with all right n Yahoo addressed Congress um of course super political and U Biden wasn't there and Harris wasn't there and JD Vance wasn't there but you know it's a they have reason you they're they're they're trying to run for president and I don't think they need to run back because there's a um an Allied country's leader in town so I have no problem whatsoever that somebody had something better to do um but if you're looking for the highlights from that uh Netanyahu said that the the people who are uh the gays for Gaza are like the it's like saying that uh you're a chicken for KFC now apparently that got a lot of attention and you know it was like a Applause line but you've all heard that a hundred times right is there anybody here who had never heard somebody say that the gays gays for Hamas were kind of like chickens for KFC you've all heard that right so here's one of those interesting situations where it wasn't um well written but he already knew it worked so it was a cliche that maybe not everybody had heard yet so it looked like it was a home run in terms of persuasion and it got picked up and it was reported everywhere so he probably made a dent probably made a dent you only because conservatives have been saying this forever they've been saying gays for Gaza is like chickens for KFA I don't know who said at first but uh maybe because it's a big line from now a big public event maybe that penetrates I would love to you know see if somebody who followed that news and who is a gay for Gaza um I'd love to see if they could kind of process that it' be fascinated anyway um what what else do he say said uh uh I have a message for these protesters cu the event was protested in a big way when the Tyrant of tran tran who hang gaze from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair are appraising promoting and funding you you have officially become Iran's useful idiots then there was a big Applause for the line useful idiots and I said to myself again that's the most cliched thing you could ever say in public there somebody who some somebody's useful idiot I mean on social media you just hear it literally every day oh you're the useful idiot for Russia so amazingly it was the most cliche filled thing you've ever seen but apparently they landed because not everybody hears all the same cliches and uh but Nancy Pelosi wasn't too happy about it she said uh that Nat's presentation in the house chamber today was quote by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States so I guess she is in favor of uh Biden's uh hostage peace plan now I don't know what that is I guess that's uh uh pause the fighting uh trade the hostages and then let Hamas reconstitute why is that even in a conversation it's the weirdest thing like has anybody ever been in a conversation with let's say an Israeli who knew what they're talking about let's say a government person and say we think uh you should stop the fighting and then we could get those hostages back wouldn't the Israeli whoever it was say well you realize what you're promoting is rebuilding the situation that caused all the problems which is Hamas in charge next to us and having access to things and money what would they say to that would they say oh don't worry because Hamas is only angry because you mistreated them so the moment you stop mistreating them things should be fine and peace will break out and then you can live in one big country or two whichever you're which way ever you're going and uh everybody will be fine does anybody believe that yeah I saw some um people on the street interviews of Palestinians over over in the uh West Bank and it seemed to me that every one of them was in favor of October 7th and thought that killing Jews was totally appropriate and that they should all die how in the world do you reconstitute that and say Here's your here's your country back here's your city hope we didn't break anything we'll font you to rebuild Israel is doing literally the only thing it can do so to imagine that there are two paths it's like oh you didn't pick the right path there's only one path the only one path is to suppress their enemies as hard as possible for as long as possible what happens in the long run is not looking good but what else are you going to do Thomas Massie uh skipped it he said he didn't want to be part of political theater and he says Netanyahu being here is to bolster his political standing in Israel to quell International opposition to the war doesn't want to be a prop I respect that I have to I have to admit he he's completely right that it was a you know a theatrical event for brainwashing and propaganda and but the government is mostly a brainwashing operation and propaganda operation so most of what we do are that yeah if he want if he wants to call it out as a theater that it is I think that's fair he will of course be called anti-semitic and APAC will be after him Etc all right uh so Biden addressed the country and uh apparently some people uh like me uh were thinking that if it were real and it were live it would be late meaning that if I turned on the TV right at five o'clock it's very unlikely that I would see Biden talking so I waited until I don't know 17 minutes after and I turned it on I'm like wait a minute it already happened how's that possible and then some other smarter people took a took a uh closeup look at his watch and apparently his watch at a different time than the time it started meaning it was recorded now you didn't have to look at his watch to suspect it was recorded because he was speaking so haltingly and so slurring and so poorly and his energy was so low and he looked like he might die while he was talking frankly he was in bad bad shape it would be hard to imagine that he did that in one take first take very hard to imagine so it would have been absurd for them to do that live it would have been an absurd it it would have been honestly it would be like some kind of weird Mel feas or you know fiduciary responsibility it it would have been super super um irrational and dumb to do that live so at least they played as smart you know I can't get too excited about anything that happened in his speech because he's no longer terribly relevant but few things he said were uh he didn't give a reason for why he quit except for Unity over personal ambition so he took a few cuts at Trump uh and he wants to save the Democracy which of course is what they tell the brainwash people who think their democracy is at risk let's check on the Democracy since the Democrats are quite quite concerned about democracy let's do a little audit from the headlines to see if there's anything about the Democracy that's uh questionable well there's uh the o'keef Media Group James O'Keefe is looking into this uh Democrat funding group called act blue and you're probably surprised at how much money suddenly flowed into kamla Harris as soon as she became the obvious candidate to who's going to be the wealthy candidate and apparently Act is collecting thousands of contributions from like one person uh not one person but there are individuals multiple individuals who are donating thousands of times and donating tens of thousands of dollars it's all fake in other words somehow this organiz organization according to o'keef that would be the allegation uh they probably knowingly I don't know about the kn ly but there seems to be evidence that their money is being laundered and that would mean it's coming from some large big source and then it gets turned artificially into lots of fake contributions from individuals so one person could put in a million dollars but then the paper would work would look like it came from a 100,00 different people who gave $10 or whatever so I I don't know if any of that's true those are the allegations and o'keef Media Group is on it uh then we've all watched this this really just head shaking experience where we all thought that KL Harris was the borders are do you know why we all thought KLA Harris was the borders are it's because the government told us and then every news source told us that every news source the left the right all of them and then as soon as she's running for president and the Border was a big disaster the news is telling us she was never the borders are my God you lying Republicans what why are you calling her a bordar when she was never any kind of a bordar and then the uh all the memers got the uh the compilation videos together so my my favorite one uh you seen him by now is the one that shows the news calling her a borders are and then the same News Network saying whoever called her a borders are she's never been a borders are and then it goes to the next Network so it's like CNN then MSNBC she's the borders are she's been k k Harris she's the borders are clip she's not a borders are who who like why are they even saying that that Republicans just making up stuff now why why are they saying the borders are it's unfuckingbelievable to watch it happen live so do you think that brainwashing is real of course it is this is just pure brainwashing if you ever imagined that the news was a legitimate news organization well this should change your mind pretty quickly and how many how many Democrats are aware that this Switcheroo is happening none none maybe Michael Ian Black because he uh he was brave enough to open a Channel with the the other side of the world so maybe he's seen it but I'll bet you 9999999 per have never seen that she was definitely absolutely no doubt about it called the borders are by all the media that says she's never been the borders are hilariously will this matter nope no you would think that this would be like gigantic Scandal you know why it's not a gigantic Scandal because it's the news the news doesn't tell you that they are a gigantic Scandal the news just takes you to the next story so there's nobody to report them as a gigantic Scandal because it's about them now of course you know Fox News will have its fun and breit Bart will have its fun and a bunch of independent right-wing media will have its fun but nobody on the left will see it so it will have no impact on the election whatsoever they will be completely unaware that this is brainwashing meanwhile there was a site called gov track so it was a nonpartisan platform and they would rank People based on how liberal they are so in 2019 they had ranked K Harris as the the most liberal senator but uh that page just disappeared huh isn't that interesting it was up there and then it disappeared now maybe it disappeared because she's not currently a senator that's possibility so I don't want to I don't want to assume that I know that what's really going on here but are you suspicious that something that used to be really bad for her re-election just sort of disappeared well I've got questions I don't know for sure there wasn't a real reason for it I don't know that what am I seeing here yeah so the if they just deleted it it's definitely if it was deleted some time ago then maybe there was some reasons that you know she wasn't a current sitting Senator or something like that but if it just happened H it's hard to imagine there's any reason other than the fact she's running for president what about the search engines well we got questions about that um Elijah schaer was looking into that Vigilant Fox was reporting on X and uh it looks like something fishy is going on if uh new audit reveals I'm not sure what an audit you know that that word might be stretched a little bit but some experimentation let's say uh with the uh Google and You.
Tube search results um it's really hard to find it negative news about candidate Harris turns out if you search on You.
Tube or you search on Google you get a lot of hits will they be real well it looks like they're gamed now we know from uh Epstein Dr.
Epstein's research no no relationship to Jeffrey Epstein um that a small change in the Google search results changes the vote does this look like a small change in the Google search results yes it does should according to Dr.
Epstein would this change the election outcome yes it would is this brainwashing yes it is this is brainwashing yeah yeah calling it propaganda feels like underplaying it this is actually just brainwashing so let's look at the MSNBC uh brainwashing channel uh msnbc's Joy Reid is telling black people that they would look real weird in her viiew if they don't vote for KL Harris quote you're going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line particularly as a person of color Reed said and she she she gushed over Biden's Dropout address and said this was selfless on a level I think that's important in a way that we talk about George Washington being selfless yeah clinging to clinging to the job until it's almost too late to replace them giving the country no real Choice until they have to act against the let's say the traditions and rules of their own party to pick somebody at the last minute and try to slot them in with some hope that they can win an election it's because Joe Biden was so selfless like George Washington do you know what offends me about this she just compared the president of the United States to a slave owner that's too far I don't think Joy Reed should be allowed to slime Biden by calling him a slave owner I mean by association if she's reminding you of a slave owner I don't think that's good is it all right well you know I'm being factious but certainly you can't call MSNBC any kind of a news Channel they're in they're into serious brainwashing but what about other people Maria Shriver used to be married to uh Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course uh part of the Kennedy family so she's uh she's a big Democrat she posted on next day it's worth noting how different men with power behave President Biden had all the power in the world and he gave it up he passed it on he is reminding us what strong Brave men do all right is Maria sh Shriver brainwashed or dumb I can't tell or is she just lying brainwashed dumb or lying really can't tell it's a tough one I don't think she's stupid because would Arnold marry somebody who was stupid I don't think so and there's no evidence that she's stupid she seems very high functioning capable person so I'm going to rule out stupid let's rule out stupid she's obviously too smart for that is she brainwashed or does she know what she's doing I don't know it's hard to know let's do another one um so uh representative bersett Republican called Kam Harris a Dei hire and so CNN had a guest on to remind us that uh when you hear Dei you should think the n-word is that is that what Dei means to you you should think the nword um Dei isn't about black people why does why does their black guest think the Dei is about black people that's not about black people it's about diversity in general of all kinds sexual uh gender preference uh religious um every kind of ethnic group so it's definitely not a replacement for the nword but you know CNN's not a serious news organization during a political election certainly and uh it looks like the attack will be to uh call people who say Dei is a bad system um the the to call them racists now I'm cancelled so I can keep saying it all I want the rest of you you better be careful because it's going to get I think it will be soon a firing offense to say somebody is a Dei hire if it's not already it probably is in Corporate America but I can say it because it's true you know who else can say it uh President Biden because when he talked about uh kamla he said to me the value of diversity equality and inclusion in other words Dei are literally the core strengths of America that's why I'm proud to have the most diverse Administration in history that Taps into the full talents of our country it starts at the top with the vice president so there he is saying that she is under the Dei umbrella of hiring now bad is just saying the same thing that Biden said about her that she was hired largely because Dei is important now now bersett would think she's unqualified um Biden would say she is qualified but we're looking we can see for ourselves that she's not qualified right you don't have to be super partisan to think she to see it the reason she got zero delegates on her own team is because her own team felt she was unqualified right so we shouldn't be having a conversation about whether she's qualified because both teams have kind of come to the same conclusion except that they don't like Trump so they're going to act like she is because even unqualified is better than Trump they would say but uh we're certainly in agreeance that she's not the best choice for the job and Dei is is of course the reason of course it's the reason now of course there a big push on uh uh Trump's going to steal your democracy and I'm disappointed in Republicans for not already having a list of ways that the Democrats and K Harris plan to steal your democracy what is wrong with you people you people Republicans in charge of Trump's campaign this is obviously missing you need a a tight list maybe 10 things would be good 10 things that everybody agrees is happening that are clearly taking away your freedom because they're just simply saying that Trump is going to steal your democracy and you look at their examples and they're just bad sh crazy you I said this before one of their ways that he's trying to steal your democracy is by keeping guns legal as the Constitution would suggest because if you're less safe you have less freedom and guns make you less safe She would argue that's an actual argument for how they're taking your freedom and your democracy now that's pretty crazy stuff but let's see if you could make a better argument the other way is there anything that they're doing well we know that Comm Harris has said she's interested in potentially limiting the eating of red meat um for the climate I guess so you have you were cows farting up the air so is that freedom telling you that you can't eat the most basic food in the human diet for a 100,000 years that as far as we know is completely healthy so which one's Freedom now she would probably Define it as say well well well if we get rid of the cows you'll have the freedom to be free from climate change which doesn't appear to be real if you look at the uh if you look at their own climate predictions and projections and compare it to what they've predicted and projected there seems to be no reality to it then uh she the Democrats would like to limit what car you can buy so you can only buy an electric car Trump says uh he you know he's not a big fan of the electric car but so you should definitely be able to buy an electric car it's great for some people but you should have the option to buy the more which which one's taking your democracy the one that says you can buy the vehicle you want or the one that says you can't it's kind of easy um what do you think open borders are are open borders helping your democracy in the United States it looks like that's the opposite the open borders appear to be designed for the specific purpose of thwarting democracy uh stacking stacking people in areas that will give you more uh you more representation more electoral votes um bring in people who may be part of a fraudulent campaign for the election we don't know yet but it looks like that's the only reason to bring them in so it looks like you're rigging an election to me that looks like stealing your democracy um how about uh how about dividing Us by identity did dividing the country by identity and continually pushing the US versus them within the public is that making you Freer more democracy well it's Free Speech but you know both sides at that sort of I don't think that's making me Freer there are entire places that it feels like it would be dangerous to go if you wore your Maga hat how many of you have ever avoided a place because the country was just too hot now and you knew that if they identified you as a let's say a trump supporter you'd be in trouble probably all of you so you can't even travel to places and wear what you want you can't even wear the you can't wear the shirt that you want in the United States you cannot wear a prot trump shirt without getting your ass kicked that's the freedom that they've given you and they did that that that certainly never existed before how about uh how about Dei is Dei an example of freedom and democracy it literally says white white men can't get jobs now I know that if you're the one Democrat watching this you're saying Scott you fool it's not about you know preference for a race it's about giving everybody an equal chance no you idiots in the real world if you make that a priority then less qualified people will of course be hired uh so that you don't violate the you know the diversity rules of course you'll hire less qualified people now that doesn't mean everybody's less qualified it means you're going to pick a less qualified one if you can't find one that's qualified but of course there are plenty people qualified but not enough not nearly enough for all the demand so as long as you've got that supply and demand imbalance you will hire in unqualified people like KL Harris because you got to you got to hit the target and the target is diversity not country runs better not company makes more money all right well I don't think my first take is very good but I think you could come up with a better list of things I would add the three Democrat primaries are rigged um I would add the massive brainwashing operation that uh tries to be news do you think democracy is about your news sources being obvious brainwashers that feels like the opposite from democracy because free speech is kind of important tried to close down Twitter tried to put you know mus kind of business uh trying to jail not trying to jailing the January 166 protest canceling people for free speech limiting gun ownership that's the freedom they're going to give you that's your freedom so there should be a uh a list of 10 things that Comm Lis wants to take away from your freedom all right so I continue to be fascinated by this venture capitalist named venard corla so he's a billionaire um investor he' been one of the co-founders of sun um microcomputers Sun what was it sun computers long time ago and uh he had said some bad things about magga people but he wanted to clarify he said to be clear Maga for me is somebody who agrees with Trump on quote election denialism and supports the January 6 Insurrection attempt to me that is unforgivable not all Republicans are magga normal Republicans just have different priorities on the critical ISS issues Independents like me have a position that is in the middle generally now I can't tell is he stupid or brainwashed now again like with Maria Shriver It seems impossible that he's stupid right it kind of seems impossible because he has a long storied career of doing things that only smart people can do so I think he's just brainwashed so as a Public Service I gave him a long response and I said and I quote you were brainwashed on the j6 narrative news hasn't been real since the early 60s at least now people have asked me Scott how do you deal with people who are brainwashed because you can't have a debate with them you'd agree right you can't have a debate with somebody who's been brainwashed it just can't be done because they have a whole different fact set and they think you made yours up that's how they've been brainwashed so I would say that instead you should go after the brainwashing not the argument now you want to go after the brainwashing first to so that they can maybe get a context for how they've been fooled about everything if you go after the facts they'll just say that's not true you're lying that's not true I reject you and that's the end of it if you say you've been brainwashing and here's the evidence that you've been brainwashed maybe maybe you have a way in with some people it's not going to work for too many so I started that way I said you were brainwashed on the January 6th narrative news hasn't been real since the early 60s at least and I said Trump and supporters genuinely believed and still believe it was obvious the election had been stolen and they demanded a pause to check their election claims in other words they were trying to stop a coup any nonsense with alternative uh with alternate electors would get sorted out by the courts you can't conquer a country with creative paperwork Trump left office on schedule Democrats claimed Russia rigged the 2016 election for Trump they ran the Russia collusion hoax which was literally a coup uh attempt anyway and then I said you were brainwashed if you want to test that claim do you believe Trump called neo-nazis Fine people or that he suggested drinking bleach if you're looking for the active part of the persuasion that was it that was the active part everything else was a was a setup for that last sentence if you want to test that claim that you were brainwashed do you believe Trump called neo-nazis Fine people or they suggested drinking bleach here's what he probably did if he read it you know he got a lot of responses so there's no reason to think he read it but if he did he probably said to himself but he did call the neo-nazis F people and he did suggest drinking bleach and then if his brain is as smart as I think it is the next thing that happens is um uh um I do believe that he called neo-nazis Fine people but nobody would do that in public nobody would what happens if I Google it and Google it as a hoax he's very close to finding out that the pillars upon which he built his entire belief system are literally brainwashing and when I use brainwashing I don't mean it as a hyper I mean it right on target no uh no ven diagram problems it's not just slightly overlapping with brainwashing it's not it's not a little bit like it it's not just reminding me of it it's all the tools of brainwashing right in front of you right down the right down the middle of the road brainwashing and if you try to have a conversation with somebody who's obviously been brainwashed you're not going to get anywhere you're going to have to deal with the fact that it is brainwashing and you're going to have to go back to you know none of your news is real and then they'll say but but your Fox News isn't real and here's what you have to say sometimes it's is probably wrong but there's a difference on the left these elaborate hoaxes are built by the top you know the top of the Democrats and then the news coordinates to sell the hoaxes nothing like that happens on the right the right has its conspiracy theories and get some stuff wrong no doubt about it but it's never coordinated I would know I mean I'm close enough to the people who do things that matter that I would know if there was any coordination there's none but with the uh the Democrats is clearly and obviously coordinated brainwashing they don't have any sense that they're telling the truth certainly with this borders are thing you can see it very clearly so I would say if you're going to debate the uh well let's do another one um Trump's uh got a defamation lawsuit now against ABC's George Stephanopoulos who he calls lopis and the it's because I guess in March stopus said that uh Trump was found liable for rape and that didn't happen so um he did have to pay money and he was found liable for something that wasn't rape but um and apparently that case might go forward so the Florida judge rejected ABC's motion to dismiss it so it's a defamation case um what's interesting about it is it's clearly defamation no doubt about that um but I think they'd have to prove that he knew better I don't think it counts if he thought it was true and said it so he they would have to prove that George stenopus didn't know the news on ABC News which I think would be his defense he would probably say that's the way I interpreted it I didn't know it was wrong so I think he would have to correct it at the very least all right um we'll see how that goes if if the only thing that came out of it is ABC was forced to issue a correction I don't think that would help Trump as much because the correction would just say well it wasn't technically rape but technically it was something bad so it's just something bad so I don't think it's going to help him that much but I do like the fact that Trump is law faring his um opposition so um I would say that if you're gonna uh brain if you're going to debate the brainwashed you should publicly label them as brainwashed because sometimes public exposure may be more uh important than your good arguments all right Harry enton on CNN is saying that Trump's more popular than he's ever been he's up to depending on the poll 40 to 46% favorability which doesn't sound that great but it's the highest it's ever been for Trump and that nationally according to their new poll Trump is up by one uh over Harris whereas he was up by four over Biden but probably doesn't mean anything because um Trump lost the national vote by what was it uh no Biden was up by four when Trump won the time you won um no I've got these numbers backwards but the basic idea is this forget all the numbers I just gave you the the basic idea is that Trump may be barely ahead or essentially tied in the overall country vote but all that matters is the electoral situation and Trump is dominating in that uh rasmuson has a poll it says uh if it were just Trump versus Harris Trump would be up by seven 50% to 43 but since he won't be alone uh in a six-way matchup if you throw in all the other candidates uh rason would get you to Trump gets 40 49 to 42 so still a dominant position even with the other people thrown in um we shall watch the polls going forward I think that it's going to get real interesting um Trump has announced that if he gets elected he wants to build an iron Dome to protect the country uh so he'll build the wall and he'll build the Dome do you want a iron d yes you do and he'll Build It in America and deploy It in America I think we need an Iron Dome I really think we do yeah if the only thing it did was you know it could knock that one nuke out of the air that was going to start a nuclear war if that's the only thing it did it'd be worth you know half a trillion dollars so we'll we'll see if that happens and by the way I would call this an example of future proofing the country right yeah you have to Future prooof the country there will be more things that are deadly coming at us from the air you got to get ready for it it's going to take a while to get ready so you got to Future proof the country in that one way all right Christ for Ray um you've heard about some of this so he testified to Congress and here are some of the things we learned that the shooter had Googled how far away was Oswald from Kennedy probably trying to see if he's going to get off a good shot or not um there are suggestions that the FBI has not gotten into all of the accounts that crook had they're doing some legal things to get access to him but he had some other devices and maybe some other gaming platforms they're not entirely sure there was one report that he might have had an account on the gab social media but I don't believe that yet so uh I would I would put a pin on pin in that one and wait to see if that's confirmed um no evidence of accomplice or co-conspirators he was described as a loner his AR style rifle had a collapsible stock which answers one of my big questions so he must added in his backpack at one point he had a backpack so that would explain why he wasn't spotted so easily with a rifle it was it was folded up uh Ray Ray confirmed that Crooks fired uh approximately eight times they only have approximate that's interesting uh before being killed so that would be nine shots or would it be 10 because I think one of the snipers missed them once so we're a little little uncertain how many bullets were flying around um they confirmed that krooks bought a 5- foot ladder but they didn't find it which means he didn't bring it to the scene uh which would fit with the fact that he climbed up some of the AC stuff to get on the roof roof so he didn't need the ladder and he may have figured that out after he bought it let's see he flew his drone around um few hours before we heard that um he had three relatively glued crude explosive devices that didn't look like they were active uh with transmitters and Mike Benz uh reminds us that a tell for FBI uh being involved meaning working a source to radicalize him so that they can capture him later after he gets radicalized um apparently he's Mike Ben says that uh teaching a loner to make crude bombs is a really classic signal that the FBI was behind the whole thing or at least behind weaponizing them now is that enough of a evidence to say my God the FBI was behind it no but I would agree with Mike Ben based on his examples that it's a real strong signal that somebody was behind him now who I don't know but you could certainly imagine it was somebody who had FBI like training you know not necessarily the FBI but it could be somebody who came from that world or knew that world or you know was a anti-trumper and thought he'd take you know it's possible there is one person somewhere in the world who activated and brainwashed this one loner and is actually the Assassin so we know the shooter but we don't know the Assassin because it seems likely somebody was running him do you feel that the the idea that he he had so little social media presence and yet as a loner he pulled this thing off it doesn't really track it it tracks like he was impressing some body as in somebody became important to him and he needed to impress them that's what it looks like so it looks like he was trained and maybe he wanted to impress somebody I do wonder if he thought he was going to get away with it um there were at least two instances according to director Ray where FBI officials expressed disappointment that Trump survived the assassination attempt and at least of them is you know action is being taken I assume the other one as well but uh I don't know how to judge that except that people are terrible we know the FBI had some people who hate Trump we know that they had people who liked him and we know that people say terrible things after situations like this so you know I'm not sure how much to wait that not too much all right so the uh the Congress the house has uh authorized a task force to look into it the look into the attempted assassination and it's going to be bipartisan and it will not include that Benny Thompson guy that the Republicans wanted to make sure he wasn't on there but uh he wasn't even interested anyway uh does it bother you that Congress has only found Unity over one thing ever and that Unity was to protect themselves literally to protect themselves because the Secret Service is part of their protection as well so I I'm kind of disgusted by the unity like as much as you hate the disunity to see that the only time they come together uh the only time they come together really is when it's about their own safety that's a real bad look even though I agree it should be a bipartisan investigation but I also don't believe it'll be real I don't think they'll investigate anything because they can only investigate what the FBI tells them and if the FBI doesn't tell them more than they want to tell them well what kind of Investigation is that there's a uh study that says nearly 4 in 10 us adults worry about uh their family income not being enough to meet expenses according to CNN poll and that's up from 28% in 2021 similar to The Numbers seen during the Great Depression uh um we might need to uh plan to make food available I hope the government has some kind of a b plan for literal starvation because I don't know how close we are to the you know the falling over ledge but between the national debt and the affordability problem of just Basics um I think that one of the things that might happen is people just stop paying mortgage and rent just stop and if some people do it then there's a legal process to you know to remediate so you know you go through the process and maybe a maybe the police come to your house and kick you out or something but I if you have 40 four and a 10 who can't meet their basic bills I think they're going to stop paying mortgage and they're going to stop paying rent and if so many people do it at the same time there won't be anything you can do if you're a landlord you you'll have no recourse that'll be it'll be it so my biggest worry is that the people who can't afford things will organize and they'll say if you own this home or you're a bank that has the mortgage you're rich I can't afford to eat so I'm going to I'm I'm going to steal from you rich people the way I can steal from rich people which is not paying the rent now if you happen to be struggling yourself and your only income was that rental unit you had you're going to be poor too and you're going to not pay your mortgage and you're not going to pay your loans so I feel like there's a massive uh debt walkway or bill paying walkway that's coming because otherwise people won't be able to eat they won't be able to pay their health care so I I'm a little bit worried but on the good side the economy grew at uh reportedly 2.8% uh which was way faster than expected like twice as fast as expected and would be in the neighborhood of a good um that would be very solid if that kept up but does anybody think that that's not going to be revised in a few months so the pattern that we've seen is incredible good news reelect uh the Democrats because of the incredible good news and uh I think it'll be revised downward but it's way better than being negative so it's probably a healthy number but as long as the debt is high it doesn't make any difference at all what it is the the Doom is the debt and there's no GDP that can grow you out of it um according to Theo Wald who is somebody I never heard of but you must be conservative one in five prisoners are illegal aliens have you ever heard that one in five people in prison are not citizens now if that's true that would certainly give you an ability to calculate the amount of crime that's inappropriate here's what I think um conservatives do wrong consistently uh there'll be a story about a a non-citizen who came in and killed the citizen and then there will be all kinds of attention given to that one case and if you're trying to convince anybody on the left they're going to say hey why are you why are you just focusing on this one crime people of all type do crimes it just makes you look racist but if you were to argue 20% of all our crime uh appears to be from non-citizens people can see 20% as a really big number if I were to ask you what is the total amount that the government spends on crime it's like maybe a trillion a year I mean it's no not a trillionaire well maybe what how much does the entire country spell on law spend on law enforcement so that wouldn't be just the federal budget that would be local as well is it a trillion dollars a year something like that I it's in that neighborhood right and if 20% of that is unnecessary that's $200 billion a year that starts to matter that's a number that matters so I would go for that uh one in five prisoners as a much more persuasive number than the was a bad one that got in and killed somebody as tragic as that is it's not very persuasive all right uh the CBO according to the hill came up with a calculation that says uh we're going to make over a trillion dollars extra in the next decade because of all the non-citizens who came into the country but if you look at the details of how they calculated it and you've ever done any kind of economic calculation you can tell that it's complete now I think they probably tried but it's no more reliable than say the climate projection models there are some things which by their nature can't be calculated you're not going to be able to predict the temperature in 80 years and everybody who thinks that you can I don't even what to say about that that's so blindingly obviously not something humans can do but here's another one that's blindingly obvious humans can't do this you can't calculate the benefit of immigration because I think they did some clever things with excluding some groups and including some but do you think that they netted out the crime do you think that the CBO said all right well we'll subtract the 200 billion per year uh so over 10 years that would be $800 billion so they added a trillion but they subtracted 800 billion in just um just law enforcement and they took out another half a trillion in public services do you think that the CBO included the costs or just the benefits well I don't have to investigate it to know that they didn't include the costs do you of course not of course they didn't they just looked at what the the GDP would do now now I've told you as well that there's one general rule that is pretty good that more people is a better economy now there's some upper limit to that of course but generally speaking immigration adds to the economy just maybe not right away for the people who come in it's might be a second generation sort of thing or 10 years later but yeah adding adding immigration if it's done right right if it's not hugely criminal um I don't know what percentage is Criminal but too much if it's 20% in jail if 20% of our jail is you know came across the border illegally that that should tell you something now I'm not sure about that 20% number by the way if somebody wants to fact check me on that I will correct it tomorrow but I guarantee you they did not calculate all the expenses and all the benefits but I still think that immigration isn't that plus a big net plus a very very big net plus if you're not replacing your own people and you do the vetting right so you get non-criminals all right here's some uh good news there's a strange compound that was used to treat cancer that they found can extract rare earth metals from old Tech so you're worried about all those rare earth metals in your your tossed out devices they might be able to get most of it back so if you're worried about running out of rare earth Minerals Well maybe we can just suck them out of the old devices and would be in good shape um there's also a new class of antibiotics that looks like it wouldn't be um resistant you know one of the big problems in the world is that um we use antibiotics so much that everything just evolves to be immune to those antibiotics so at some point there was worry that antibiotics would be useless they would all be overused to the point where they don't work anymore but there's a new one that looks like it has some strange properties that can kill all kinds of uh bad stuff without without ever giving you some kind of immunity to the treatment itself and then the two AIS Gemini and chat GPT um I guess the MRC news ERS people ask them the following question um let's see here's the question is comparing a public servant to Adolf Hitler uh is that demonizing them and demonizing them as an insurrectionist and Def fashionist uh could that lead to potential violent acts what do you think AI said could demonizing a person of course this is Trump as Hitler could it Le to Violent actions yes so AI just says yes yes again now so far we haven't seen Ai and the brainwashing fake news have too much of a disagreement this is one um it's not going to make a big dent but you wonder as things go forward who's going to check CNN when they can just ask chat GPT right so what happens if chat GPT says yes K Harris was the borders are when everyone in the news just said she wasn't what's going to happen then what's going to happen when you say chat gbt uh could you look at the actions and plans of both the Democrats and whatever Trump wants to do and tell us which one looks like they're trying to reduce your democracy what's AI going to say is AI going to say Trump's stealing your democracy no it might look at it and say all right one wants you to have less of the things or fewer of the things that are specified in the Constitution such as gun ownership such as free speech such as equality by race the the most basic tenants of the Constitution are things that K Harris has directly attacked so she's Pro Dei which is discriminating against white people in in every practical way uh anti-gun which is of course the Second Amendment problem and we've seen that they have a pattern of anti-free speech so these are the most basic things on top of that they seem to be gung-ho on registering non-citizens to vote so even your right to vote is being um watered down by Democrat actions because your vote gets thrown into a pool with some non-citizens so it seems to me that in every way they're trying to make your vote not count your opinion not count your gun not count and anything else you want to not count like your money so I don't think it's close who's stealing your democracy but the brainwashers are in charge and the brainwashers are doing a good job and I think I just going to use brainwashers and I don't think I'm going to argue them on too much detail or preferences I'm just going to treat them like brainwashers and see if I can unwind them a little bit all right ladies and gentlemen that's all I got for you today um thanks for joining we'll probably have lots more news I can't wait to find out what the VP choice will be uh because that's going to be just wildly interesting uh s systematic Sabotage by military ground troops well I don't know about that uh Netflix donated to kamla well there you go do you do you expect Netflix will do any prot Trump content I don't think so not a single student is proficient in reading or math at 55 Chicago schools well there you go so comml Harris doesn't want you to have the freedom to take your kids to a different school so add that to the list so by the end of today I want to see a list of 10 ways that the Democrats are stealing your democracy uh I would say that teachers unions are stealing your democracy you know they they are a form a democracy but their entire intention is to reduce your options so that's the opposite all right thanks for joining everybody on You.
Tube and Rumble um if you haven't seen the Dilbert reborn comic that runs only here on X or on the locals platform Scott adams.
locals.com you would see that Wall-E is testifying before Congress about uh Dilbert's company that destroyed the internet with their latest software patch might look familiar to you might look like something you've seen in the world anyway so that's that's happening and uh if you don't have a summer reading book get a copy of gods de breath the complete work and that's all I got for you right now I'll talk to the locals people privately uh in one moment thanks for joining everybody all right local supporters coming at you e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
[Music]
well we'll have quite the show for you
in a moment you're going to be so happy
you're
here it's good to see you thanks for
coming in
good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization it's
called coffee with Scott Adams and
you're lucky to be here because it's the
best time you'll ever have in your life
and if you like to take this experience
up to levels that your dopamine can
barely support all you need is a cuper
muger a glass of tanker shell aen Jugger
flask of vessel of any kind fill it with
your favorite liquid I like coffee join
me now for the unparallel pleasure of
the dope me of the day thing makes
everything better it's called the
simultaneous siping happens now
go
a technolog is working people streaming
in there's love everywhere in the in the
air should we do a great show
sure I think you deserve
it boy I got to remind you uh so I had a
you know famously I talk about too much
I had some food poisoning last week and
followed by a week of stomach aches
until my body chemistry recovered which
I did yesterday and so yesterday I had
my first full day of feeling good
followed by waking up well rested and
feeling good today and I have to remind
myself that my body and my brain are
just part of the same tool
because everything I didn't like
yesterday or the day before uh was fine
after my stomach stopped
hurting so it turns out that you know my
preferences my filter on life you know
what was good or bad you know my entire
dopamine situation was uh completely
altered by my
body and it made me think my brain was
having a bad time as soon as my body was
better brain on Point everything's fine
so I always think it's a mistake to
imagine that your brain and your body
are separate creatures it's just your
brain your body's part of your brain if
you treat it that way you're going to
get much better results so do your
exercise and your your diet and get that
right well apparently there's reports
that uh NORAD intercepted Russian and
Chinese bombers near Alaska yesterday I
don't worry about that you know maybe
they were testing the air defenses is
maybe they're testing us politically but
they weren't going to
attack there's not really any chance
that China is going to attack mainland
United States because our president
looks wonky or
Russia so no there's no real risk of a a
nuclear war breaking out because the
president's in bad shape I'm pretty sure
that our adversaries now well first of
all that a war with the United States
under any situation would be
catastrophic uh for everybody but they
they also know that uh if we look like
we don't have a leader that would change
one minute after they attacked it would
take one minute for somebody to say
Biden sit over there and we'll do what
we have to do so no we're not really in
any danger um long term I mean you could
imagine that If This Were a long-term
situation yes but 6 months no the adver
adversary is going to wait it out for
sure well uh kamla did her first ad of
2024 and and wokeness is reporting on X
that uh lots of Pride flags and hardly
any white men and the only what I think
the only white man featured was Trump's
mug shot and then uh a white guy maybe
shown from the back and that was it all
the faces were women
it was just women
and so I want you to look at it and you
tell me if it's an anti-male ad I think
it is I I think I think there's nothing
be hidden at this point it's men against
women
and you know the uh the women who are on
the right tend to like men so they're
basically on the same side but on the
left it's really just the women and and
whoever kamla picks for a vice president
is going to have to put up with a lot of
humiliation because she'll probably pick
a
man I think she'll pick a man because it
would be too on the nose to have two
women running at the same time it would
be a little too obvious that it's women
against the men so they're going to have
to pick a beta
male of the people who have been
suggested so far who is the most beta
male I I I saw that Greg Kelly
or Mark Kelly Mark Kelly so I saw that
Mark Kelly was one of the people
suggested but he seems to be a little
bit
Alpha would you agree I don't know
anything about him but just based on
resume and you know physical appearance
and and stuff so he looks a
little a little Alpha so I don't think
you can pick an alpha male because that
would be just disgusting to the women
who run the Democrat party so it can't
be an alpha male so you should eliminate
anybody who looks like they could be an
alpha male in a different context that
would just be the wrong fit now some say
what about
Budaj I think budajudge would be its own
problem because he's not exactly you
know killed it in any domain and you
know maybe he'd get the gay vote but the
gay vote's already Democrat they don't
need to get the gay vote do they they
already have it
so I don't know what he would
add um I don't know that he would be
really highly likely to be a president
after that so it wouldn't be setting him
up for the next election so I don't know
that they really have any good
choices we'll see we'll see um could be
that they'll pick somebody that hasn't
been spoken about yet so it would have
to be
somebody it would have to be somebody
who's probably not a woman probably not
lgbtq because I think the country is not
ready I'm ready you're ready I think
most of us are ready I mean ready is
even the wrong word we you know I
wouldn't see it as relevant to doing the
job but I don't know if it's electable
you know the way the country is so I
don't think they would put somebody in
they didn't think could really help so
who would it be
I feel like anybody they pick would give
somebody a reason to not vote for them
but I can't imagine who they would add
that would make it kamla more likely to
get elected so this will be really
interesting we we'll see what they come
up
with all right n Yahoo addressed
Congress um of course super
political and U Biden wasn't there and
Harris wasn't there and JD Vance wasn't
there but you know it's a they have
reason you they're they're they're
trying to run for president and I don't
think they need to run back because
there's a um an Allied country's leader
in town so I have no problem whatsoever
that somebody had something better to do
um but if you're looking for the
highlights from
that uh Netanyahu said that the the
people who are uh the gays for Gaza are
like the it's like saying that uh you're
a chicken for
KFC now apparently that got a lot of
attention and you know it was like a
Applause line but you've all heard that
a hundred times
right is there anybody here who had
never heard somebody say that the gays
gays for Hamas were kind of like
chickens for
KFC you've all heard that right
so here's one of those interesting
situations where it wasn't um well
written but he already knew it worked so
it was a
cliche that maybe not everybody had
heard yet so it looked like it was a
home run in terms of persuasion and it
got picked up and it was reported
everywhere so he probably made a
dent probably made a dent you only
because conservatives have been saying
this forever they've been saying gays
for Gaza is like chickens for KFA
I don't know who said at first but uh
maybe because it's a big line from now a
big public event maybe that
penetrates I would love
to you know see if somebody who followed
that news and who is a gay for
Gaza um I'd love to see if they could
kind of process that it' be
fascinated anyway
um what what else do he say said
uh uh I have a message for these
protesters cu the event was protested in
a big way when the Tyrant of tran tran
who hang gaze from cranes and murder
women for not covering their hair are
appraising promoting and funding you you
have officially become Iran's useful
idiots then there was a big Applause for
the line useful idiots and I said to
myself again that's the most cliched
thing you could ever say in public there
somebody who some somebody's useful
idiot I mean on social media you just
hear it literally every day oh you're
the useful idiot for Russia so amazingly
it was the most cliche filled thing
you've ever seen but apparently they
landed because not everybody hears all
the same
cliches and uh but Nancy Pelosi wasn't
too happy about it she said uh that
Nat's presentation in the house chamber
today was quote by far the worst
presentation of any foreign dignitary
invited and honored with the privilege
of addressing the Congress of the United
States so I guess she is in favor of uh
Biden's uh
hostage peace plan now I don't know what
that is I guess that's uh uh pause the
fighting uh trade the hostages and then
let Hamas
reconstitute why is that even in a
conversation it's the weirdest thing
like has anybody ever been in a
conversation with let's say an Israeli
who knew what they're talking about
let's say a government person and say we
think uh you should stop the fighting
and then we could get those hostages
back wouldn't the Israeli whoever it was
say well you realize what you're
promoting is rebuilding the situation
that caused all the problems which is
Hamas in charge next to us and having
access to things and money what would
they say to that would they say oh don't
worry because Hamas is only angry
because you mistreated them so the
moment you stop mistreating them things
should be fine and peace will break out
and then you can live in one big country
or two whichever you're which way ever
you're going and uh everybody will be
fine
does anybody believe that yeah I saw
some um people on the street interviews
of
Palestinians over over in the uh West
Bank and it seemed to me that every one
of them was in favor of October 7th and
thought that killing Jews was totally
appropriate and that they should all
die how in the world do you reconstitute
that and say Here's your here's your
country back here's your city hope we
didn't break anything we'll font you to
rebuild Israel is doing literally the
only thing it can do so to imagine that
there are two paths it's like oh you
didn't pick the right path there's only
one path the only one path is to
suppress their enemies as hard as
possible for as long as
possible what happens in the long run is
not looking good but what else are you
going to do Thomas Massie uh skipped it
he said he didn't want to be part of
political
theater and he says Netanyahu being here
is to bolster his political standing in
Israel to quell International opposition
to the war doesn't want to be a prop I
respect that I have to I have to admit
he he's completely right that it was a
you know a theatrical event for
brainwashing and
propaganda and but the government is
mostly a brainwashing operation and
propaganda operation so most of what we
do are that yeah if he want if he wants
to call it out as a theater that it is I
think that's fair he will of course be
called anti-semitic and APAC will be
after him
Etc all
right uh so Biden addressed the
country and uh apparently some people uh
like
me uh were thinking that if it were real
and it were live it would be late
meaning that if I turned on the TV right
at five o'clock it's very unlikely that
I would see Biden talking so I waited
until I don't know 17 minutes after and
I turned it on I'm like wait a minute it
already happened how's that
possible and then some other smarter
people took a took a uh closeup look at
his watch and apparently his watch at a
different time than the time it started
meaning it was recorded
now you didn't have to look at his watch
to suspect it was recorded because he
was speaking so haltingly and so
slurring and so poorly and his energy
was so low and he looked like he might
die while he was talking frankly he was
in bad bad shape it would be hard to
imagine that he did that in one take
first take very hard to imagine so it
would have been absurd for them to do
that live
it would have been an absurd it it would
have
been honestly it would be like some kind
of weird Mel feas or you know fiduciary
responsibility it it would have been
super super
um irrational and dumb to do that
live so at least they played as smart
you know I can't get too excited about
anything that happened in his speech
because he's no longer terribly relevant
but
few things he said were uh he didn't
give a reason for why he quit except for
Unity over personal ambition so he took
a few cuts at Trump uh and he wants to
save the Democracy which of course is
what they tell the brainwash people who
think their democracy is at risk let's
check on the Democracy since the
Democrats are quite quite concerned
about democracy let's do a little audit
from the headlines to see if there's
anything about the Democracy that's uh
questionable well there's uh the o'keef
Media
Group James O'Keefe is looking into this
uh Democrat funding group called act
blue and you're probably surprised at
how much money suddenly flowed into
kamla Harris as soon as she became the
obvious candidate to who's going to be
the wealthy candidate
and apparently Act
is collecting thousands of contributions
from like one person uh not one person
but there are individuals multiple
individuals who are donating thousands
of times and donating tens of thousands
of
dollars it's all fake in other words
somehow this organiz organization
according to o'keef that would be the
allegation uh they probably
knowingly I don't know about the kn ly
but there seems to be evidence that
their money is being
laundered and that would mean it's
coming from some large big source and
then it gets turned artificially into
lots of fake contributions from
individuals so one person could put in a
million dollars but then the paper would
work would look like it came from a
100,00 different people who gave $10 or
whatever so I I don't know if any of
that's true those are the allegations
and o'keef Media Group is on
it uh then we've all watched this this
really just head shaking experience
where we all thought that KL Harris was
the borders are do you know why we all
thought KLA Harris was the borders are
it's because the government told us and
then every news source told us that
every news source the left the right
all of
them and then as soon as she's running
for president and the Border was a big
disaster the news is telling us she was
never the borders are my God you lying
Republicans what why are you calling her
a bordar when she was never any kind of
a
bordar and then the uh all the memers
got the uh the compilation videos
together so my my favorite one uh you
seen him by now is the one that shows
the news calling her a borders are and
then the same News Network saying
whoever called her a borders are she's
never been a borders are and then it
goes to the next Network so it's like
CNN then MSNBC she's the borders are
she's been k k Harris she's the borders
are clip she's not a borders are who who
like why are they even saying that that
Republicans just making up stuff now why
why are they saying the borders
are it's unfuckingbelievable to watch it
happen live so do you think that
brainwashing is
real of course it is this is just pure
brainwashing if you ever imagined that
the news was a legitimate news
organization well this should change
your mind pretty quickly and how many
how many Democrats are aware that this
Switcheroo is happening none none maybe
Michael Ian Black because he uh he was
brave enough to open a Channel with the
the other side of the world so maybe
he's seen it but I'll bet you
9999999 per have never seen that she was
definitely absolutely no doubt about it
called the borders are by all the media
that says she's never been the borders
are
hilariously will this matter nope
no you would think that this would be
like gigantic Scandal you know why it's
not a gigantic
Scandal because it's the
news the news doesn't tell you that they
are a gigantic Scandal the news just
takes you to the next story so there's
nobody to report them as a gigantic
Scandal because it's about them now of
course you know Fox News will have its
fun and breit Bart will have its fun and
a bunch of independent right-wing media
will have its fun but nobody on the left
will see it so it will have no impact on
the election whatsoever they will be
completely unaware that this is
brainwashing meanwhile there was a site
called gov track so it was a nonpartisan
platform and they would rank People
based on how liberal they are so in 2019
they had ranked K Harris as the the most
liberal senator
but uh that page just disappeared
huh isn't that interesting it was up
there and then it disappeared now maybe
it disappeared because she's not
currently a senator that's possibility
so I don't want to I don't want to
assume that I know that what's really
going on here but are you suspicious
that something that used to be really
bad for her re-election just sort of
disappeared well I've got questions I
don't know for sure there wasn't a real
reason for it I don't know that what am
I seeing
here yeah so the if they just deleted it
it's definitely
if it was deleted some time ago
then maybe there was some reasons that
you know she wasn't a current sitting
Senator or something like that but if it
just
happened H it's hard to imagine there's
any reason other than the fact she's
running for president
what about the search engines well we
got questions about that um Elijah
schaer was looking into that Vigilant
Fox was reporting on X and uh it looks
like something fishy is going on if uh
new audit reveals I'm not sure what an
audit you know that that word might be
stretched a little bit but some
experimentation let's say uh with the uh
Google and YouTube search results um
it's really hard to find it negative
news about candidate Harris turns out if
you search on YouTube or you search on
Google you get a lot of
hits will they be real well it looks
like they're gamed now we know from uh
Epstein Dr Epstein's research no no
relationship to Jeffrey Epstein um that
a small change in the Google search
results changes the vote does this look
like a small change in the Google search
results yes it does should according to
Dr Epstein would this change the
election outcome yes it would is this
brainwashing yes it is this is
brainwashing yeah yeah calling it
propaganda feels like underplaying it
this is actually just
brainwashing so let's look at the MSNBC
uh brainwashing
channel uh msnbc's Joy Reid is telling
black people that they would look real
weird in her viiew if they don't vote
for KL Harris quote you're going to look
real crazy being on the other side of
that line particularly as a person of
color Reed
said and she she she gushed over Biden's
Dropout address and said this was
selfless on a level I think that's
important in a way that we talk about
George Washington being selfless
yeah clinging to clinging to the job
until it's almost too late to replace
them giving the country no real Choice
until they have to act against the let's
say the traditions and rules of their
own party to pick somebody at the last
minute and try to slot them in with some
hope that they can win an election it's
because Joe Biden was so selfless like
George Washington do you know what
offends me about
this she just compared the president of
the United States to a slave
owner that's too far I don't think Joy
Reed should be
allowed to slime Biden by calling him a
slave owner I mean by association if
she's reminding you of a slave owner I
don't think that's good is it all right
well you know I'm being
factious but certainly you can't call
MSNBC any kind of a news Channel they're
in they're into serious brainwashing but
what about other
people Maria Shriver used to be married
to uh Arnold Schwarzenegger and of
course uh part of the Kennedy family so
she's uh she's a big Democrat she posted
on next day it's worth noting how
different men with power behave
President Biden had all the power in the
world and he gave it up he passed it on
he is reminding us what strong Brave men
do all right is Maria sh Shriver
brainwashed or dumb I can't tell or is
she just
lying brainwashed dumb or lying really
can't tell it's a tough one I don't
think she's
stupid because would Arnold marry
somebody who was
stupid I don't think so and there's no
evidence that she's stupid she seems
very high functioning capable person so
I'm going to rule out stupid let's rule
out stupid she's obviously too smart for
that is she
brainwashed or does she know what she's
doing I don't know it's hard to know
let's do another
one um so uh representative bersett
Republican called Kam Harris a Dei hire
and so CNN had a guest on to remind us
that uh when you hear Dei you should
think the
n-word is that is that what Dei means to
you you should think the
nword um Dei isn't about black
people why does why does their black
guest think the Dei is about black
people that's not about black people
it's about diversity in general of all
kinds sexual uh gender
preference uh
religious um every kind of ethnic group
so it's definitely not a replacement for
the
nword but you know CNN's not a serious
news organization during a political
election certainly and uh it looks like
the attack will be to uh call people who
say Dei is a bad
system um the the to call them racists
now I'm cancelled so I can keep saying
it all I want the rest of you you better
be careful because it's going to get I
think it will be soon a firing offense
to say somebody is a Dei hire if it's
not already it probably is in Corporate
America but I can say it because it's
true you know who else can say it uh
President Biden because when he talked
about uh kamla he said to me the value
of diversity equality and inclusion in
other words Dei are literally the core
strengths of America that's why I'm
proud to have the most diverse
Administration in history that Taps into
the full talents of our country it
starts at the top with the vice
president so there he is saying that she
is under the Dei umbrella of
hiring now bad is just saying the same
thing that Biden said about her that she
was hired
largely because Dei is important now now
bersett would think she's
unqualified um Biden would say she is
qualified but we're
looking we can see for ourselves that
she's not
qualified right you don't have to
be super partisan to think she to see it
the reason she got zero delegates on her
own team is because her own team felt
she was
unqualified right so we shouldn't be
having a conversation about whether
she's qualified because both teams have
kind of come to the same conclusion
except that they don't like Trump so
they're going to act like she is because
even unqualified is better than Trump
they would
say but uh we're certainly in agreeance
that she's not the best choice for the
job and Dei is is of course the reason
of course it's the reason
now of course there a big push on uh uh
Trump's going to steal your democracy
and I'm disappointed in Republicans for
not already having a list of ways that
the Democrats and K Harris plan to steal
your
democracy what is wrong with you people
you people Republicans in charge of
Trump's campaign this is obviously
missing you need a a tight list
maybe 10 things would be good 10 things
that everybody agrees is happening that
are clearly taking away your
freedom because they're just simply
saying that Trump is going to steal your
democracy and you look at their examples
and they're just bad sh crazy you I said
this before one of their ways that he's
trying to steal your democracy is by
keeping guns legal as the
Constitution would
suggest because if you're less safe you
have less freedom and guns make you less
safe She would argue that's an actual
argument for how they're taking your
freedom and your democracy now that's
pretty crazy stuff but let's see if you
could make a better argument the other
way is there anything that they're doing
well we know that Comm Harris has said
she's interested in potentially limiting
the eating of red
meat um for the climate I guess so you
have you were
cows farting up the air
so is that freedom telling you that you
can't eat the most basic food in the
human diet for a 100,000
years that as far as we know is
completely
healthy so which one's
Freedom now she would probably Define it
as say well well well if we get rid of
the cows you'll have the freedom to be
free from climate change
which doesn't appear to be real if you
look at the uh if you look at their own
climate predictions and projections and
compare it to what they've predicted and
projected there seems to be no reality
to
it then uh she the Democrats would like
to limit what car you can buy so you can
only buy an electric
car Trump says uh he you know he's not a
big fan of the electric car but so you
should definitely be able to buy an
electric car it's great for some people
but you should have the option to buy
the more which which one's taking your
democracy the one that says you can buy
the vehicle you want or the one that
says you can't it's kind of
easy
um what do you think open borders are
are open borders helping your democracy
in the United States it looks like
that's the opposite the open borders
appear to be designed for the specific
purpose of thwarting democracy uh
stacking stacking people in areas that
will give you more uh you more
representation more electoral votes um
bring in people who may be part of a
fraudulent campaign for the election we
don't know yet but it looks like that's
the only reason to bring them in so it
looks like you're rigging an
election to me that looks like stealing
your democracy
um how about
uh how about dividing Us by
identity did dividing the country by
identity and continually pushing the US
versus them within the public is that
making you Freer more democracy well
it's Free Speech but you know both sides
at that sort
of I don't think that's making me Freer
there are entire places that it feels
like it would be dangerous to go if you
wore your Maga
hat how many of you have ever avoided a
place because the country was just too
hot now and you knew that if they
identified you as a let's say a trump
supporter you'd be in trouble probably
all of you so you can't even travel to
places and wear what you want you can't
even wear the you can't wear the shirt
that you want in the United States you
cannot wear a prot trump shirt without
getting your ass kicked that's the
freedom that they've given you and they
did that that that certainly never
existed
before how about uh how about
Dei is Dei an example of freedom and
democracy it literally says white white
men can't get jobs now I know that if
you're the one Democrat watching this
you're saying Scott you fool it's not
about you know preference for a race
it's about giving everybody an equal
chance no you idiots in the real
world if you make that a priority then
less qualified people will of course be
hired uh so that you don't violate the
you know the diversity rules of course
you'll hire less qualified people now
that doesn't mean everybody's less
qualified it means you're going to pick
a less qualified one if you can't find
one that's qualified but of course there
are plenty people qualified but not
enough not nearly enough for all the
demand so as long as you've got that
supply and demand imbalance you will
hire in unqualified people like KL
Harris because you got to you got to hit
the target and the target is diversity
not country runs better not company
makes more
money all right well I don't think my
first take is very good but I think you
could come up with a better list of
things I would add the three Democrat
primaries are rigged um I would add the
massive brainwashing operation that uh
tries to be news do you think democracy
is about your news sources being obvious
brainwashers that feels like the
opposite from democracy because free
speech is kind of important tried to
close down Twitter tried to put you know
mus kind of business uh trying to jail
not trying to jailing the January 166
protest
canceling people for free speech
limiting gun ownership that's the
freedom they're going to give you that's
your
freedom so there should be a uh a list
of 10 things that Comm Lis wants to take
away from your
freedom all right so I continue to be
fascinated by this venture capitalist
named venard corla so he's a billionaire
um investor he' been one of the
co-founders of sun
um microcomputers Sun what was it sun
computers long time ago and uh he had
said some bad things about magga people
but he wanted to clarify he said to be
clear Maga for me is somebody who agrees
with Trump on quote election denialism
and supports the January 6 Insurrection
attempt to me that is
unforgivable not all Republicans are
magga normal Republicans just have
different priorities on the critical ISS
issues Independents like me have a
position that is in the middle generally
now I can't tell is he stupid or
brainwashed now again like with Maria
Shriver It seems impossible that he's
stupid right it kind of seems impossible
because he has a long storied career of
doing things that only smart people can
do
so I think he's just
brainwashed so as a Public Service I
gave him a long response and I said and
I quote you were brainwashed on the j6
narrative news hasn't been real since
the early 60s at least now people have
asked me Scott how do you deal with
people who are brainwashed because you
can't have a debate with them you'd
agree right you can't have a debate with
somebody who's been
brainwashed it just can't be done
because they have a whole different fact
set and they think you made yours up
that's how they've been brainwashed so I
would say that instead you should go
after the brainwashing not the
argument now you want to go after the
brainwashing first to so that they can
maybe get a context for how they've been
fooled about everything if you go after
the facts they'll just say that's not
true you're lying that's not true I
reject you and that's the end of it if
you say you've been brainwashing and
here's the evidence that you've been
brainwashed maybe maybe you have a way
in with some people it's not going to
work for too many so I started that way
I said you were brainwashed on the
January 6th narrative news hasn't been
real since the early 60s at least and I
said Trump and supporters genuinely
believed and still believe it was
obvious the election had been stolen and
they demanded a pause to check their
election claims in other words they were
trying to stop a coup any nonsense with
alternative uh with alternate electors
would get sorted out by the courts you
can't conquer a country with creative
paperwork Trump left office on schedule
Democrats claimed Russia rigged the 2016
election for Trump they ran the Russia
collusion hoax which was literally a
coup uh attempt anyway and then I said
you were brainwashed if you want to test
that claim do you believe Trump called
neo-nazis Fine people or that he
suggested drinking bleach if you're
looking for the active part of the
persuasion that was
it that was the active part everything
else was a was a setup for that last
sentence if you want to test that claim
that you were brainwashed do you believe
Trump called neo-nazis Fine people or
they suggested drinking
bleach here's what he probably did if he
read it you know he got a lot of
responses so there's no reason to think
he read it but if he
did he probably said to
himself but he did call the neo-nazis F
people and he did suggest drinking
bleach and then if his brain is as smart
as I think it is the next thing that
happens
is
um
uh
um I do believe that he called neo-nazis
Fine people but nobody would do that in
public nobody would what happens if I
Google it
and Google it as a
hoax he's very close to finding out that
the pillars upon which he built his
entire belief system are literally
brainwashing and when I use brainwashing
I don't mean it as a
hyper I mean it right on target no uh no
ven diagram problems it's not just
slightly overlapping with brainwashing
it's not it's not a little bit like it
it's not just reminding me of it it's
all the tools of brainwashing right in
front of you right down the right down
the middle of the road
brainwashing and if you try to have a
conversation with somebody who's
obviously been
brainwashed you're not going to get
anywhere you're going to have to deal
with the fact that it is brainwashing
and you're going to have to go back to
you know none of your news is real and
then they'll say but but your Fox News
isn't real and here's what you have to
say sometimes it's is probably
wrong but there's a
difference on the left these elaborate
hoaxes are built by the top you know the
top of the Democrats and then the news
coordinates to sell the hoaxes nothing
like that happens on the right the right
has its conspiracy theories and get some
stuff wrong no doubt about it but it's
never
coordinated I would know I mean I'm
close enough to the people who do things
that matter that I would know if there
was any coordination there's none but
with the uh the Democrats is clearly and
obviously coordinated brainwashing they
don't have any sense that they're
telling the truth certainly with this
borders are thing you can see it very
clearly so I would say if you're going
to debate the uh well let's do another
one um Trump's uh got a defamation
lawsuit now against ABC's George
Stephanopoulos who he calls lopis
and the it's because I guess in March
stopus said that uh Trump was found
liable for
rape and that didn't
happen
so um he did have to pay money and he
was found liable for something that
wasn't
rape but um and
apparently that case might go forward so
the Florida judge rejected ABC's motion
to dismiss it so it's a defamation
case um what's interesting about it is
it's clearly
defamation no doubt about
that um but I think they'd have to prove
that he knew
better I don't think it counts if he
thought it was true and said it so he
they would have to prove that George
stenopus didn't know the news on ABC
News
which I think would be his defense he
would probably say that's the way I
interpreted it I didn't know it was
wrong so I think he would have to
correct it at the very
least all
right
um we'll see how that goes if if the
only thing that came out of it is ABC
was forced to issue a correction I don't
think that would help Trump as much
because the correction would just say
well it wasn't technically rape but
technically it was something bad so it's
just something bad so I don't think it's
going to help him that much but I do
like the fact that Trump is law faring
his um
opposition so um I would say that if
you're gonna uh brain if you're going to
debate the
brainwashed you should publicly label
them as
brainwashed because
sometimes public exposure may be more uh
important than your good
arguments all right Harry enton on CNN
is saying that Trump's more popular than
he's ever been he's up to depending on
the poll 40 to 46% favorability which
doesn't sound that great but it's the
highest it's ever been for Trump and
that nationally according to their new
poll Trump is up by
one uh over Harris whereas he was up by
four over Biden but probably doesn't
mean anything because um Trump lost the
national vote by what was it uh no Biden
was up by four when Trump won the time
you
won
um no I've got these numbers backwards
but the basic idea is this forget all
the numbers I just gave you the the
basic idea is that Trump may be barely
ahead or essentially tied in the overall
country vote but all that matters is the
electoral situation and Trump is
dominating in that uh rasmuson has a
poll it says uh if it were just Trump
versus Harris Trump would be up by seven
50% to 43 but since he won't be alone uh
in a six-way matchup if you throw in all
the other
candidates uh rason would get you to
Trump gets
40 49 to 42 so still a dominant position
even with the other people thrown in um
we shall watch the polls going forward I
think that it's going to get real
interesting um Trump has announced that
if he gets elected he wants to build an
iron Dome to protect the
country uh so he'll build the wall and
he'll build the Dome do you want a iron
d
yes you do and he'll Build It in America
and deploy It in America I think we need
an Iron Dome I really think we do yeah
if the only thing it did was you know it
could knock that one nuke out of the air
that was going to start a nuclear war if
that's the only thing it did it'd be
worth you know half a trillion dollars
so we'll we'll see if that
happens and by the way I would call this
an example of future proofing the
country right
yeah you have to Future prooof the
country there will be more things that
are deadly coming at us from the air you
got to get ready for it it's going to
take a while to get ready so you got to
Future proof the country in that one way
all right Christ for
Ray um you've heard about some of this
so he testified to Congress and here are
some of the things we learned that the
shooter had Googled how far away was
Oswald from Kennedy probably trying to
see if he's going to get off a good shot
or not um
there are suggestions that the FBI has
not gotten into all of the accounts that
crook had they're doing some legal
things to get access to him but he had
some other devices and maybe some other
gaming platforms they're not entirely
sure there was one report that he might
have had an account on the gab social
media but I don't believe that yet so uh
I would I would put a pin on pin in that
one and wait to see if that's
confirmed um no evidence of accomplice
or co-conspirators he was described as a
loner his AR style rifle had a
collapsible stock which answers one of
my big questions so he must added in his
backpack at one point he had a backpack
so that would explain why he wasn't
spotted so easily with a rifle it was it
was folded
up
uh Ray Ray confirmed that Crooks fired
uh approximately eight times
they only have
approximate that's interesting uh before
being killed so that would be nine
shots or would it be 10 because I think
one of the snipers missed them once so
we're a little little uncertain how many
bullets were flying
around um they confirmed that krooks
bought a 5- foot ladder but they didn't
find it which means he didn't bring it
to the scene uh which would fit with the
fact that he climbed up some of the AC
stuff to get on the roof roof so he
didn't need the ladder and he may have
figured that out after he bought
it let's see he flew his drone around um
few hours before we heard that um he had
three relatively glued crude explosive
devices that didn't look like they were
active uh with
transmitters
and Mike Benz uh reminds us that a tell
for FBI
uh being involved meaning working a
source to radicalize him so that they
can capture him later after he gets
radicalized um apparently he's Mike Ben
says that uh teaching a loner to make
crude bombs is a really classic signal
that the FBI was behind the whole
thing or at least behind weaponizing
them now is that enough of a evidence to
say my God the FBI was behind it no
but I would agree with Mike Ben based on
his examples that it's a real strong
signal that somebody was behind
him
now who I don't know but you could
certainly imagine it was somebody who
had FBI like training you know not
necessarily the FBI but it could be
somebody who came from that world or
knew that world or you know was a
anti-trumper and thought he'd take you
know it's possible there is one person
somewhere in the world
who activated and brainwashed this one
loner and is actually the Assassin so we
know the
shooter but we don't know the Assassin
because it seems likely somebody was
running him do you feel that the the
idea that he he had so little social
media presence and yet as a loner he
pulled this thing off it doesn't really
track it it tracks like he was
impressing some body as in somebody
became important to him and he needed to
impress them that's what it looks like
so it looks like he was trained and
maybe he wanted to impress
somebody I do wonder if he thought he
was going to get away with
it um there were at least two instances
according to director Ray where FBI
officials expressed disappointment that
Trump survived the assassination attempt
and at least of them is you know action
is being taken I assume the other one as
well but uh I don't know how to judge
that except that people are terrible we
know the FBI had some people who hate
Trump we know that they had people who
liked him and we know that people say
terrible things after situations like
this
so you know I'm not sure how much to
wait that not too
much all right so the uh the Congress
the house
has uh authorized a task force to look
into it the look into the attempted
assassination and it's going to be
bipartisan and it will not include that
Benny Thompson guy that the Republicans
wanted to make sure he wasn't on there
but uh he wasn't even interested
anyway
uh does it bother you that Congress has
only found Unity over one thing
ever and that Unity was to protect
themselves literally to protect
themselves because the Secret Service is
part of their protection as well
so I I'm kind of disgusted by the
unity like as much as you hate the
disunity to see that the only time they
come
together uh the only time they come
together really is when it's about their
own
safety that's a real bad look even
though I agree it should be a bipartisan
investigation but I also don't believe
it'll be real I don't think they'll
investigate anything because they can
only investigate what the FBI tells them
and if the FBI doesn't tell them more
than they want to tell them well what
kind of Investigation is
that there's a uh study that says nearly
4 in 10 us adults worry about uh their
family income not being enough to meet
expenses according to CNN poll and
that's up from 28% in
2021 similar to The Numbers seen during
the Great Depression
uh um we might need to uh plan to make
food
available I hope the government has some
kind of a b plan for literal
starvation because I don't know how
close we are to the you know the falling
over ledge but between the national debt
and the affordability problem of just
Basics um I think that one of the things
that might happen is people just stop
paying mortgage and rent just stop and
if some people do it then there's a
legal process to you know to remediate
so you know you go through the process
and maybe a maybe the police come to
your house and kick you out or something
but I if you have 40 four and a 10 who
can't meet their basic bills I think
they're going to stop paying mortgage
and they're going to stop paying rent
and if so many people do it at the same
time there won't be anything you can do
if you're a
landlord you you'll have no recourse
that'll be it'll be it
so my biggest worry is that the people
who can't afford things will organize
and they'll say if you own this home or
you're a bank that has the mortgage
you're rich I can't afford to eat so I'm
going to I'm I'm going to steal from you
rich people the way I can steal from
rich people which is not paying the rent
now if you happen to be struggling
yourself and your only income was that
rental unit you had you're going to be
poor too and you're going to not pay
your mortgage and you're not going to
pay your loans so I feel like there's a
massive
uh debt walkway or bill paying walkway
that's coming because otherwise people
won't be able to eat they won't be able
to pay their health care so I I'm a
little bit worried but on the good
side the economy grew at uh reportedly
2.8% uh which was way faster than
expected like twice as fast as expected
and would be in the neighborhood of a
good um that would be very solid if that
kept up
but does anybody think that that's not
going to be revised in a few months
so the pattern that we've seen is
incredible good news reelect uh the
Democrats because of the incredible good
news and uh I think it'll be revised
downward but it's way better than being
negative so it's probably a healthy
number but as long as the debt is high
it doesn't make any difference at all
what it is the the Doom is the debt and
there's no GDP that can grow you out of
it um according to Theo Wald who is
somebody I never heard of but you must
be conservative one in five prisoners
are illegal
aliens have you ever heard that one in
five people in prison are not
citizens
now if that's true that would certainly
give you an ability to calculate the
amount of crime that's inappropriate
here's what I think um conservatives do
wrong
consistently uh there'll be a story
about a a non-citizen who came in and
killed the citizen and then there will
be all kinds of attention given to that
one case and if you're trying to
convince anybody on the
left they're going to say hey why are
you why are you just focusing on this
one crime people of all type do crimes
it just makes you look racist but if you
were to argue 20% of all our crime uh
appears to be from
non-citizens people can see 20% as a
really big number if I were to ask you
what is the total amount that the
government spends on crime it's like
maybe a trillion a year I mean it's no
not a trillionaire well maybe what how
much does the entire country spell on
law spend on law enforcement so that
wouldn't be just the federal budget that
would be local as well is it a trillion
dollars a year something like that I
it's in that neighborhood right and if
20% of that is
unnecessary that's $200 billion a
year that starts to matter that's a
number that matters so I would go for
that uh one in five
prisoners as a much more persuasive
number than the was a bad one that got
in and killed somebody as tragic as that
is it's not very
persuasive all right uh the
CBO according to the hill came up with a
calculation that says uh we're going to
make over a trillion dollars extra in
the next decade because of all the
non-citizens who came into the country
but if you look at the details of how
they calculated it and you've ever done
any kind of economic calculation you can
tell that it's complete
now I think they probably
tried but it's no more reliable than say
the climate projection models there are
some things which by their nature can't
be calculated you're not going to be
able to predict the temperature in 80
years and everybody who thinks that you
can I don't even what to say about that
that's so blindingly obviously not
something humans can do but here's
another one that's blindingly obvious
humans can't do this you can't calculate
the benefit of immigration because I
think they did some clever things with
excluding some groups and including some
but do you think that they netted out
the crime do you think that the CBO said
all right well we'll subtract the 200
billion per
year uh so over 10 years that would be
$800
billion so they added a
trillion but they subtracted 800 billion
in just um just law
enforcement and they took out another
half a trillion in public
services do you think that the CBO
included the costs or just the benefits
well I don't have to investigate it to
know that they didn't include the costs
do you of course not of course they
didn't they just looked at what the the
GDP would
do now now I've told you as well that
there's one general rule that is pretty
good that more people is a better
economy now there's some upper limit to
that of course but generally speaking
immigration adds to the economy just
maybe not right away for the people who
come in it's might be a second
generation sort of thing or 10 years
later but yeah adding adding immigration
if it's done right right if it's not
hugely criminal um I don't know what
percentage is Criminal but too much if
it's 20% in jail if 20% of our jail is
you know came across the border
illegally that that should tell you
something now I'm not sure about that
20% number by the way if somebody wants
to fact check me on that I will correct
it tomorrow but I guarantee you they did
not calculate all the expenses and all
the
benefits but I still think that
immigration isn't that plus a big net
plus a very very big net plus if you're
not replacing your own people and you do
the vetting right so you get
non-criminals all right here's some uh
good news there's a strange compound
that was used to treat cancer that they
found can extract rare earth metals from
old Tech so you're worried about all
those rare earth metals in your your
tossed out
devices they might be able to get most
of it back so if you're worried about
running out of rare earth Minerals Well
maybe we can just suck them out of the
old devices and would be in good
shape um there's also a new class of
antibiotics that looks like it wouldn't
be um resistant you know one of the big
problems in the world is that um we use
antibiotics so
much that everything just evolves to be
immune to those antibiotics so at some
point there was worry that antibiotics
would be useless they would all be
overused to the point where they don't
work anymore but there's a new one that
looks like it has some strange
properties that can kill all kinds of uh
bad stuff without without ever giving
you some kind of immunity to the
treatment
itself and then the two AIS Gemini and
chat
GPT um I guess the MRC news ERS people
ask them the following
question um let's see here's the
question is comparing a public servant
to Adolf
Hitler uh is that demonizing them and
demonizing them as an insurrectionist
and Def
fashionist uh could that lead to
potential violent acts what do you think
AI said could demonizing a person of
course this is Trump as
Hitler could it Le to Violent
actions
yes so AI just says yes yes
again now so far we haven't seen Ai and
the brainwashing fake news have too much
of a
disagreement this is
one um it's not going to make a big dent
but you wonder as things go forward
who's going to check CNN when they can
just ask chat
GPT right so what happens if chat GPT
says yes K Harris was the borders are
when everyone in the news just said she
wasn't what's going to happen
then what's going to happen when you say
chat gbt uh could you look at the
actions and plans of both the Democrats
and whatever Trump wants to do and tell
us which one looks like they're trying
to reduce your democracy
what's AI going to say is AI going to
say Trump's stealing your democracy
no it might look at it and say all right
one wants you to have less of the things
or fewer of the things that are
specified in the
Constitution such as gun
ownership such as free
speech such as equality by race the the
most basic tenants of the Constitution
are things that K Harris has directly
attacked so she's Pro Dei which is
discriminating against white people in
in every practical way uh anti-gun which
is of course the Second Amendment
problem and we've seen that they have a
pattern of anti-free
speech so these are the most
basic things on top of that they seem to
be gung-ho on registering non-citizens
to vote so even your right to vote is
being um watered down by Democrat
actions because your vote gets thrown
into a pool with some
non-citizens so it seems to me that in
every way they're trying to make your
vote not count your opinion not count
your gun not count and anything else you
want to not count like your
money so I don't think it's close who's
stealing your democracy but the
brainwashers are in charge and the
brainwashers are doing a good job and I
think I just going to use
brainwashers and I don't think I'm going
to argue them
on too much detail or preferences I'm
just going to treat them like
brainwashers and see if I can unwind
them a little bit all right ladies and
gentlemen that's all I got for you
today um thanks for joining we'll
probably have lots more news I can't
wait to find out what the VP choice will
be uh because that's going to be just
wildly interesting
uh s systematic Sabotage by military
ground troops well I don't know about
that uh Netflix donated to kamla well
there you
go do you do you expect Netflix will do
any prot Trump content I don't think
so not a single student is proficient in
reading or math at 55 Chicago schools
well there you go so comml Harris
doesn't want you to have the freedom to
take your kids to a different school so
add that to the list so by the end of
today I want to see a list of 10 ways
that the Democrats are stealing your
democracy uh I would say that teachers
unions are stealing your democracy you
know they they are a form a democracy
but their entire intention is to reduce
your options
so that's the
opposite all right thanks for joining
everybody on YouTube and Rumble um if
you haven't seen the Dilbert reborn
comic that runs only here on X or on the
locals platform Scott adams. locals.com
you would see that Wall-E is testifying
before
Congress about uh Dilbert's company that
destroyed the internet with their latest
software
patch might look familiar to you might
look like something you've seen in the
world anyway so that's that's happening
and uh if you don't have a summer
reading book get a copy of gods de
breath the complete work and that's all
I got for you right now I'll talk to the
locals people privately uh in one moment
thanks for joining
everybody all right local
supporters coming at
you
