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 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
