Well, what a show you're going to have today. It's going to be incredible. Best Saturday experience of your life. Probably you'll be talking about it for years. That's how good it will be. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, Saturday edition, while everybody else is lazy and sleeping.

If you'd like to take this experience, which is already going to be amazing, up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, jug or flask, vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Oh, so good. So good.

Well, here's an important story for people like me. Did you know that young women are eschewing high heels for clubbing? I have to say that it's been a while since I've been to a club. Let's say, when was the last time I went clubbing? It was never. So I've never been clubbing. But I understand that it was common for women to wear heels, and apparently now women going out for the evening wear some kind of sneakers and jeans.

And I thought to myself, finally. Finally we found something that could help human reproduction. Have you noticed that every trend in the news is negative? It's like the dating apps are destroying us, and the OnlyFans is bad, and the porn is terrible, and the AI is going to take all of our romantic interest away, and everything seems to be going the wrong direction.

But if women take their heels off, suddenly they have access to a whole new range of men, i.e., men who were not tall enough if they wore heels but if they don't wear heels, tall enough. So it's like men just gained three inches in height everywhere in the United States, young ones, because the young women are not wearing heels. And the big difference is whether they're taller than the woman, and that seems more important than how tall they are in general. They like them tall, women do, but they certainly have to be taller than the woman. That seems to be key criteria on the dating apps.

So get rid of those heels, ladies. Your mating opportunities have just gone up substantially.

You were probably aware of the stock market and the dump, but here's how you should look at this. Let me tell you one thing that I told a young investor months ago. I said the stock market is looking really good, right? Yeah, looking really good. You know, in the summer it always takes a dump. Now I think there may have been an exception like some weird years, but generally speaking, people like to sell what they have in the summer and go on vacation. Literally they don't want to look at their holdings, so anything that's sketchy they just sell it before they go on vacation. So you always get a fall in the summer. It might mean something and it might not.

It could be because of the unemployment. It could be because the Fed hasn't raised the interest rates. It could be something about the election. It could be something about AI got a little overrun. So there was no possibility that the market wouldn't go down at least 10%. Everybody who's experienced as an investor knows that, right? We were heading for a 10% correction minimum. I mean it could be more, but minimum 10%. So you're just seeing the expected 10% correction. Doesn't mean it'll stay there.

I would expect that there's nowhere else to put your money. You don't want your money in cash. You can't put it all in Bitcoin because you're not quite sure that's the way to go. So what are you going to do, put it in your mattress? Then it just gets inflated away. If you want to keep up with inflation, you're either going to have to own property, which has its own risks, or the broad stock market. So for me the anti-inflation play is primarily just being in index funds. If the big companies can't raise their prices, then nobody can. So that's my play. I'm keeping all of my stocks, selling nothing.

And I wouldn't be surprised if you see it changing quite a bit between now and the election. Because I also think the players game the system. So it could be that people are just taking some profits from AI companies that ran up too much. But it could be that you'll see a bunch of super rich Democrats say, you know, it would be really good for the Democrats if the market felt like it was recovering. So I think you're going to see a bunch of fake, very large industrial buyers before election day.

So here's my prediction. Whatever the stock market is today, I think it will be higher than that on Election Day. And it won't be normal. It'll just be gaming the system kind of stuff. That's what I think. So that doesn't mean in the long run anything. It just means I expect a little bit of mischief.

According to Breitbart News, the Democrats are panicked now and they want a rate cut because unemployment took a little jump. So if the Fed cuts the rates, that normally juices the stock market and the rest of the economy. But the Fed is independent, so they don't have to do something just because the Democrats want it.

Now you might say to yourself on this next story, Scott, why are you always talking about batteries? Batteries are so boring. Oh, but are they? I think understanding batteries and the new technology coming is just one of the biggest things to understand. So here's a big, big, big story about batteries. Sawyer Merritt on X is reporting this. So Tesla apparently has been working on something called a dry cathode battery, meaning that there would be no moist parts of the battery. This has been a long dream, apparently. It was just too hard to do. People have tried it but haven't gotten far enough.

But if it works, Tesla would reduce their own costs between 15 and 30% if they can scale it. That's right. The cost of a Tesla could come down 20 to 30% if they put these better batteries in. But that's not all. Takes up a lot less space, and they can make smaller, more efficient factories to make these. Fewer steps, higher density, more range, better for the environment. And of course we're going to need some really good batteries for your robots. If you think your battery keeps running down in your car, wait till you see your robot. At least the robot can go plug itself back in. Actually your robot could probably drive your Tesla to the charging station and charge it for you. So that's coming.

Meanwhile, California is floating the idea internally about purchasing and owning its own refineries. Now you might say to yourself, what? Isn't California part of the United States? And don't we live in a free market capitalist system where the very dumbest thing you could ever do is have the state own your means of production? Because that's like communism. It's like Venezuela. And every single possible element of that is a bad idea. That's why we're doing it.

If anybody has an updated list of terrible ideas, could you send it to us in California? Because we're running out of terrible ideas. We've implemented them all. And this new one I think gets sort of the end of our list. Once you start getting rid of capitalism entirely, let the criminals out, let the people from other countries flow in, let that fentanyl come in. Come on, fentanyl, let's get that in here. And then the only other thing we can do, oh, besides the fact that you can't get house insurance if you live in California because of the poor management of the forests, but now we're going to have to get rid of capitalism because you know the state is really good at running businesses. Yeah, okay. Yep. California has become like Venezuela, except without the excellent leadership of Maduro.

Elon Musk had apparently an eight-and-a-half-hour interview with Lex Fridman. I don't understand that. I don't know why they did that, but okay. So I guess they get along pretty well because they had a long talk. So here's some things we know now. Neuralink is looking to massively increase the number of electrodes into the brain, and they're working on a product in the future that would allow maybe blind people to see for the first time. Think how amazing that would be. Imagine if Elon Musk bypassed eyes and just put a little camera on your head that is stuck into your brain, and then blind people could just see. And what about deaf people? Probably deaf people will be able to hear.

He also seems to have some potential for solving schizophrenia, seizures, and memory issues. Well, we're going to be full androids pretty soon. You know, Elon points out, as I've pointed out for years, that we're already androids. The fact that you can put your phone down doesn't change that. Your phone is basically connected to your body and your brain. You know that every once in a while you forget it, but that's more of a design flaw.

In other news, the NFL announced that all of the teams will be implementing facial recognition so that every person who attends a professional football game will be identified by facial recognition software to verify their identity. Does anybody wonder why? Is there something we don't know about that makes that necessary? What exactly is the purpose of doing that? Is that for the benefit of the safety of the people going to the stadium? Is that for the government to find out where all the Trump supporters are? What is that? Crowd control? Collect data?

Remember something I've been telling you for years. I've said that there's no hope of preserving privacy. There is no hope of preserving privacy. So you should get your head straight about living a life that could survive no privacy. If you haven't already made that change, you really need to stop saying anything in a digital means that you're not willing to defend in public. I think I stopped saying things digitally maybe 20 years ago. Probably 20 years ago was the last time I said something that maybe I'd be embarrassed if somebody saw it. Now I only say things that if it came out I'd say, yeah, that is my opinion. I don't think there's anything I write down digitally that I couldn't say in public, and it's been that way for a long time.

And you know I've actually had the experience of sending an encrypted message and then seeing it in the news. That'll straighten you out really fast. Yeah, imagine sending an encrypted app message and then seeing it in the news. Yep, that happened. That's a real thing that happened with me anyway.

Remember that story about the 9/11 planners who were in custody and they did a plea deal, and the plea deal would give them life in prison but no execution? Well, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has reversed that and actually removed from office the person who approved it. So not only did he reverse it, but the person who tried to do it in the first place got slapped down pretty hard. They were removed from that position. That's a pretty hard rebuke.

Now, does it seem to you like this is maybe entirely political? It looks entirely political to me. I think the Democrats just thought it was awkward to do this right before an election because it's just one more thing you can pin on Biden. I think this is purely political. What would be the other reason? And by the way, I don't have any problem with the plea deal. Is there something wrong with it? How many of you think that the terrorists would be happier if they have life in prison? I don't see that. I see them being happier to be executed. If you had life in prison, wouldn't you want to be executed, especially if you thought you'd get your 72 virgins?

I'm not even like, I don't understand it. Like are we trying to be good to the bad guys by giving them life? Well, how's that even a deal? So there's something deeply unreported about this. There's something about the story we're missing, and whatever that is is going to be interesting, but we'll probably never find out anyway. Don't believe the news.

Speaking of the news, Russia allegedly, here's another one I don't believe. So I saw this on social media, so I'll tell you what it says but I don't believe it, that Russia is going to block Google, iOS, and Android. What would they use if it doesn't use those? Now blocking Google seems possible, but how do you block iOS and Android? Is there some operating system? Is it a Chinese operating system? Will they just go China products? Maybe. But why would they do this? It's probably for security, right? Is it for security or is it just to damage the US's dominance in the industry? Don't know. But I would think that if Putin doesn't trust Google, iOS, and Android, maybe you shouldn't either. And again, just assume you have no privacy. Russia probably isn't happy with giving up their privacy, but we already have, so it's no real difference.

We're all waiting breathlessly for any moment now Iran to respond and attack Israel, maybe through proxies, because Israel murdered the head of Hamas's political wing while he was in Iran in the guesthouse. And Iran is saying that Israel crossed all their red lines. Their response will be swift and heavy. And then the US is sending military forces there. So we'll have a strike group and we'll have some more aircraft and whatever assets we need just in case.

Now of course it's being presented as this is a way to reduce violence because it'll maybe make Iran think they don't want to do too much. But to me it's always so weird when two countries at war do war theater. Now when Israel takes out one of the leaders of Hamas, that's not a theater. That's militarily strategic. But when Iran responds, isn't that purely theater? Because Iran's response, nobody expects it will change anybody's future behavior. They just have to act like they look like they can do stuff. So whatever they do is just going to be some weird theater thing. And if they go too far, they will invite more destruction on themselves than they want.

So they've got this weird little situation where they have to do something theatrical that maybe kills an Israeli if they get what they want, but they can't do anything that's important. So what's that leave you? You can't do anything important but it can't actually make a difference, because if it makes a difference that would be too dangerous for Iran. So it might be like that last thing where they warned the US, well there might be an attack, you might want to duck and get in holes, and we don't want to kill anybody but we got to make a theatrical attack so everybody hear it comes.

And so it looks like they're not going to give a warning this time, or at least that's what we're told. Maybe they will. But here's my prediction. I think Israel is going to degrade Hezbollah and they're just looking for any excuse now. They don't need an excuse because Hezbollah has been continuously attacking forever. What they need is for the Israeli public and the American public to say, oh there's a good excuse. So I don't think Iran has ever been in a more perilous situation. Because if they do something theatrical that everybody can agree was a nothing, maybe things just chug along the way they have been. But they say Israel crossed a red line, which means an appropriate response would also cross a red line.

Now can they find a red line that they think is a red line that they crossed while Israel can argue, well that wasn't much of a red line, and the US can say, well I see they tried but we shot down all their missiles so it was sort of a nothing. This one's going to be really interesting. I think the hardest part will be Iran trying to figure out something that's the right message and that they could actually execute. I don't know what there is. I'll tell you what they won't do. I don't expect them to kill a high-ranking American or military officer. I don't think they're going to take a head shot at Israel because again that would be full war.

So I think it's inevitable that Israel will have to attack Hezbollah directly and massively. I don't see any way around it. It's just when it happens really. Could it happen this month or next year? It's just going to happen. I would rule out any possibility it doesn't happen. I don't think that's even in the option set anymore. That's my guess.

Iran is apparently, allegedly, who knows if this is true, arrested more than two dozen people that they think might have been knowledgeable or possibly complicit in this assassination in their country. And I say to myself, if they arrested two dozen people, doesn't that mean they're going to torture them all? I mean if they arrested them but they don't have evidence that they were involved, it sounds like they're just grabbing everybody who would know anything and then they're just going to torture them all.

Can Iran really get away with torturing two dozen of their own people, of which I would guess no more than one of them might have been involved? It feels like that's kind of a big risk for the leader. Because if you're in the military and you just found out that two dozen people got scooped up for interrogation and you know for sure that there couldn't be more than one of those people who knew anything about this, you'd feel pretty mad at your leadership for treating you like you're expendable. I don't know if I could ever get over that if I saw my beloved leaders in the military, people I respected, get scooped up when I knew for sure they were not involved in this because they just wouldn't be. I don't know that I could ever fight for that country again if they ever wanted me to. So Iran has more problems than I've seen anybody ever have a problem. I don't know how they're going to navigate this.

Let's talk about politics. Is anybody amazed that the top two Democrats that the entire Democratic Party could put together, the top two, now I'm not talking about the VP yet, I'm talking about Biden and then Harris, the top two, what is the one thing they both have in common? This is unusual for a national politician. Nobody thinks they can answer a question. Just hold that in your mind. The two best people that the Democrats could field, Biden and Harris, nobody on either side, not a Democrat, not a Republican, believes they're capable of standing in front of other people and answering basic questions about their profession and what's going on. How did we get here?

Yeah, this is a great lesson on you can get used to anything as long as it happens a little bit slowly. We just got used to it. How in the world do the Democrats put up with having their two best people unable to talk in public? Literally the most salient part of the job, and we're just like, we're just going on. So today, after I'll say this, I'll say the two best Democrats, one of them likely to be the next president, and they can't talk in public. You could almost throw a dart into a crowd and guess somebody who could answer a question in public. I mean you have a good shot at it anyway. So that's amazing.

But there was apparently some kind of accidental leak out of the Philadelphia mayor's office. Some staffer released a video that would suggest that the Democrats already know that they're going to be choosing Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, for their VP candidate. So I think we're all acting like that's a done deal today even though it's not official, but we're going to talk about it like it is.

And let's talk about the fake news first. How many of you believe that Josh Shapiro once served in the IDF, volunteered and then served in the IDF, that would be the Israeli Defense Force, the military in Israel? How many believe that's true because social media said it was true? How many of you believe that's actually a real thing? It's not a real thing.

All right, let me say it so that you don't embarrass yourself, because a lot of people on the right are falling for this pretty hard. Here's what was true. In high school, his high school had some kind of a program where they had to volunteer for something. So he and some other students volunteered, remember this is high school, these are just kids, volunteered to go to Israel and they worked on a kibbutz or something. But part of it is they volunteered to do some work for the IDF. They weren't in the IDF. They were like unpaid interns sweeping sidewalks and doing stuff like that. So he wasn't carrying a gun. He wasn't going to war for the IDF. He wasn't a member of the IDF. He was a student who was having an experience in another country that included some stuff that was unimportant and student-like for a military force.

Now should you be comfortable with that just because I said well he didn't actually pledge his allegiance to another country, it was just a student experience? Are you uncomfortable with that to know that somebody who had a substantial experience with another country that's an ally of the United States in his youth? How many of you have a problem with that? Because I think voters will hear the story and they'll believe he had joined the military. Probably a third of conservatives will now forever believe he fought in the Israeli military, probably a third, and will never be talked out of it because that's how the fake news works. It's pretty sticky.

Now what's interesting of course is that Shapiro is Jewish, and therefore the question will be which party is more anti-Semitic. So will there be more Republicans who are on the extreme side saying oh no that's one more reason we can't vote for them? Well that shouldn't make any difference because nobody, I don't think any Republicans would vote for Kamala Harris because you picked a Jewish vice president. So that's probably zero impact on the Republican side. And I don't think the Republicans would necessarily, well I just don't think the Republicans will vote differently because of this in any way.

But we all are asking the question, hey aren't there a lot of progressives over in the Democrat Party who are not so pro-Israel at the moment, maybe a little bit more pro-Palestinian, maybe Michigan, maybe the Squad? And the answer is yeah, that's probably going to be an issue. But it depends how he talks about the situation too. I think what he says today will be more important than whatever he said in the past.

And let me say this. I think it's important to know what the candidates thought in the past. I think it's important to know that Trump was once a Democrat. I think that's important. I think it's important to know if Kamala Harris used to have far more left-leaning opinions but maybe she's been talked into something more centrist to get elected. I think we need to know about the past. But I firmly believe that if you can defend why you changed your mind, we should allow that. I like people who can change their minds. That's not a negative.

It used to be, I remember, Democrats or who was it, I think mostly the Republicans would complain about the other candidate flip-flopping. You remember that used to be the thing. You're a flip-flopper. And I used to say you mean somebody updated their thinking with new information? Why are we mad at that? I want the person who can update their thinking with new information. And we've seen it happen. I want to know I've seen it. I don't want somebody to go into office and say I have the same opinions I had when I was 20. That would scare the hell out of me. I need somebody who is mentally flexible and capable of changing their opinion.

So I think it's important to know that Kamala had some instincts that were left-leaning and she might bring that into the office. But if she could defend her new opinions then I would feel differently about it. For example if somebody said well I used to think universal health care like one single payer was the only way to go but now I think it would be impractical because the country really wants private health insurance too and there's no way you could get there anyway so now I think I'll just want to lower prices for health care. So you could imagine her explaining it in a way where you'd say oh well if you can make the argument that suggests that you understand the argument for that new opinion. So look for ability to defend the current opinion. That would be far more important.

So we're going to be talking almost non-stop about anti-Semitism just because Shapiro is in the race. We'll see how that goes. But again most people don't vote for anybody who's the vice president anyway. So he's in favor of a two-state solution in Israel. He thinks Netanyahu is the worst leader ever. Well there you go.

Now I think there's going to be a lot of talk about what the critics will say, some kind of split loyalty, which I don't see in evidence, but that'll be part of the story. People will suspect he's got split allegiance and again there's no evidence of that. It's not illegal to visit another country and have an experience.

So let's talk about how clean the elections will be coming up. So as you're all aware in 2020 there were a great number of people who questioned the election, whether it was fair. But we've had four years since then so thank God all the problems have been fixed. What? Nothing's different? Well let's do a little rundown of what we know about the coming election.

Number one, attorney generals from Virginia and Missouri and Wyoming are going to look into ActBlue. That's a big fundraising entity for the Democrats that according to O'Keefe, James O'Keefe and his investigation, according to them they've been laundering large donations from God knows where, maybe a foreign country, we don't even know, through the names of elderly who don't know their names are being used because you can't give big dollar amounts, you know there's limits. But you can say oh a million people donated a little bit each, but they're fake donors. They're real people, they're just elderly people who are never going to check and nobody will ever know that they didn't really donate. So the evidence seems pretty strong there's something sketchy going on there.

So one of the biggest sources of money for the Democrats might be fake. But hey that's just one element of an election is the funding. So just because the funding might be fake that doesn't mean anything else is fake. People I don't want you to get all crazy about doubting things just because the funding for the Democrats is probably fraudulent. And we do expect that some of the largest donors are also blackmailed. So I wouldn't believe anything about the funding sources. But hey that's just one part of an election. I mean it does affect it so it does seem that crime would be already affecting the outcome. But remember there are lots more elements to an election so it's not all about the funding.

There's also the media. See MSNBC says it's a life or death choice if you pick Trump. So somebody named Tara Setmayer said on MSNBC, and I quote, "Women voters are looking at this election as a life or death choice. The binary choice is democracy or Trump and for women it's our lives or Trump." Okay so all right. So the media is totally fixed and they're just going to give you scary stories about Trump that are all just made up.

But people I want you to relax a little bit because I know you're thinking oh wait so the funding is totally illegitimate and the media which is the only source of news for the Democrats is also completely fake propaganda. Well that's true. That seems to be true. But people don't lose hope because the money in politics and the media are just two variables. That's just two variables. There's a lot more that goes into voting than just the money and the media. Okay it might be 60% of it but there's still more.

Let's see, over on OAN the network they had election fraud researcher and former California lawmaker Steve Baldwin and he's been looking into the Georgia voter rolls. These are the people who are registered to vote in Georgia. Here are some things he claims to have found. 179,000 voters with incomplete addresses. That would be like missing apartment unit or suite numbers which would be a little suspicious but hey that's just one variable. Also 115,000 voters used invalid mailing addresses. Oh, 114,000. That's like way more than the number of people that determine the election in that state, huh? And then there are 79,000 people who somehow managed to register on a federal holiday. And the question would be how'd you do that? I don't know, maybe there's some kind of time delay on that or something. And 69,000 voters permanently moved out of state but still remain on the rolls. Really?

Well I don't have verification that all of these things are true. They're just a whole bunch of claims that the voter rolls are so polluted that it would be somewhat trivially easy for a bad actor to be collecting all these ballots and getting people to vote who should not be voting. And of course they would never be caught because it wouldn't be one big scandal. It would just be a bunch of individual voters who yeah maybe they shouldn't have voted but it's not like one big problem. It's just a whole bunch of individual little things. You know you could ignore the little things, can't you?

All right so we don't have clean voter rolls and the media is rigged and the funding is rigged but at least we have law enforcement to make sure that everything's running fine. All right here's a new story. Do you know CISA? CISA and the FBI, they've got a warning on election data. Whoa, listen to this. Apparently they have some information that suggests something's coming. They say they did a public service announcement. How useful this is to raise awareness. There might be a denial of service attack on election infrastructure. Oh that sounds bad. That could hinder access to election information. Well that sounds bad. Hackers could hinder our access to election information. Oh but it's okay. It's okay. They say it would not impact the security or integrity of the election process. Oh so the voting would be fine. The only problem would be if you tried to find out how people voted after the fact, you know sort of like auditing or something like that, huh?

So it's looking exactly like they're warning us that they're not going to let us audit the election. That's what I see. And they're going to blame it on a hacker. So all right so maybe the FBI and CISA are actually malign actors because they apparently are preparing to lie to us later. And sure the election voter rolls are completely polluted which would suggest it would be easy to rig. And yes the media is completely a propaganda outfit and certainly the funding is some kind of money laundering operation. So but anyway those are just a few things. Just a few things. But there are lots of other elements to election.

For example back in 2019 then-Senator Harris according to Fox News talked about the sizable contributions in swing states of having all these illegal immigrants. Oh so she admitted in 2019 that the plan was to bring in illegal immigrants to change the voting in the swing states. Okay so we have illegal immigration to change the swing state votes. We've got the FBI saying there's going to be some kind of fake attack that will allow us not to audit the elections. The voter rolls seem to be rigged in Georgia and the funding is fake and the media is full of propaganda. Now that's what I call democracy, people. Yeah.

And you know what you don't want? You don't want Trump to come in here and steal your democracy. Am I right? I mean look how good things are set up. Everything looks perfectly good to me. The only thing that could go wrong with this magnificent system we have is if somebody like Trump comes in and steals your democracy. And by the way the Democrats are very clear about how he's going to do it. You know that, right? They're very clear about how Trump will steal your democracy. Should I tell you? You don't know. It's a very clear plan. No there is no plan to steal your democracy.

Well but at least the one thing we can count on is that the people who are protecting our candidates are doing their very best and you're getting a really good safe Secret Service situation. According to Breitbart News there was a Rasmussen poll that said 41% of voters believe federal officials were involved in the Trump assassination attempt. Okay so the credibility of our government is so low that 41% of the public thinks the government tried to murder Trump.

So but don't worry. There are only a few things that look like they're a little sketchy. The voter rolls, the propaganda from the media, the fake funding, the FBI warning us that they're going to hide the audit information, the fact that they're bringing in people specifically and directly to alter the swing state populations, and the fact that 41% believe that the government literally tried to kill one of the candidates. You know what's looking like a beacon of democracy today? Venezuela. Do you think Venezuela had this many problems? Now I don't suspect that the Venezuela vote was real but did they have this many problems? I'm not sure they did. Did anybody try to murder one of their candidates? I don't recall that.

Well if you put it all together my current prediction is that we won't have an election this year. We will have people voting. There will be an election day and people will vote and votes will be counted. When it's done whichever side lost will say that was no election. That was a sham and the results must be thrown out. And here's my fake slate of electors and everything else. I don't think our current system gives us any chance of an election result that the country accepts. Would you disagree with that? Our current setup is so sketchy and so really non-credible. The whole system has no credibility at all that if your side loses you're going to think it was cheating and you'll be right. I think you'd be right. And by the way that probably works both ways. You know if somehow the Republicans have figured out some clever but legal way to game the system, what do you think Democrats are going to say? They're going to say that Hitler just took over and they're going to do everything they can to take Trump out of office. They're going to impeach him on day one if they can, if they have the votes, and they're going to be marching in the streets and the cities will burn. The cities are going to burn if Trump wins. I mean I think that's guaranteed. And not because of Trump, because the bad guys want power so they're going to make it look like the citizens can't live with this president and it won't be real. It'll be fake like BLM and Antifa. It'll just be funded by the usual people. And then of course there'll be another Charlottesville march right away and everybody will be fooled again into thinking that was organic. It wasn't. Whatever it was it definitely wasn't organic anyway.

So Trump has agreed to debate Kamala Harris on September 4th. I do think that Harris has a reasonably good chance of doing well in the debate. And the only reason I say it is that there's no back and forth. So she will be asked a question and then Trump's microphone will be muted I suppose and then she will just read from her little, or she'll have a memorized answer to every topic and then she'll just do her memorized answer and you'll say oh that sounded pretty good. That was coherent. And it'll just be memorized. And then they'll go to Trump and he'll make some terrible accusation and then she won't necessarily respond to it directly. She will just say what she says about the topic. And then when it's done the media will say my God that was a masterful, I don't know why people said she's not good at this. She's the greatest debater. She had her prosecutor hat on. And the media will say that she won in a landslide even if she didn't.

So I think her odds of doing well are pretty high. But there's also a good chance that she gets derailed by something that happens and can't answer a question. So we still want to see her sit down for a real interview with a real reporter. I don't think it's going to happen. I think she's going to get the George Stephanopoulos treatment where she probably knows the questions. I don't know that that's true but you kind of suspect she might know the questions. So she just goes into a friendly interview with the answers prepared and they just come right out.

By the way did you hear her phone call with her supporters where she was talking about I guess receiving enough support to be the nominee? And she does this phone call and she reads it. Can you believe that? She did a phone call where she read a speech. She read a speech into a phone call. Now some of it of course you would expect to be prepared but wouldn't you expect a whole bunch of extemporaneous comments and then maybe she'd say oh and I just want to read this little statement so we're all clear. Apparently she couldn't do that. Do you think Trump would have just read a statement? Not a chance. He would have talked for 10 minutes and then he would say if he had time left oh let me read the statement. Completely different level of communication ability. Completely different.

So The Hill says that Trump risks losing more black voters with this Harris identity attacks. You know the question about whether she's black or is she Indian-American or both. And I think this is propaganda from The Hill. Trump risks losing more black voters. Here's what I wonder. Do you think that the black men and the black women feel the same about this? Because I'll bet not. And I think that by hiding the fact that the black men and the black women may be diverging in terms of Trump support, I think they're hiding that. I think they're hiding the ball because the big story is men versus women. And the media they don't want to say it directly because they're going to lose all their men in the Democrat Party, at least the ones that still has some testosterone anyway.

So Elon Musk revealed on his Lex Fridman interview that he talked to Trump about creating a government efficiency commission to make the government efficient and that he would actually be interested in being on it. Now that doesn't mean it'll happen but it's a hell of an idea. Do you know who did that first? A government commission on making the government more efficient. Al Gore. So when Al Gore was vice president his job was to essentially automate the government and make it so that you could just go online and get your work done. And over time we've seen that the federal government has moved a lot of stuff online. It is more efficient in that way anyway but a lot of work to do on that. So that would be fun.

So OpenAI who makes ChatGPT says the government's going to see their new version ChatGPT-5 before anyone else. Hold that in your mind. So OpenAI has an association or arrangement with the government where their new version, and this one is rumored to be super smart compared to the current one, that the government has to see it first. Why do you suppose that is? Let me say it again. No government can survive an honest news environment. That's why there are no honest news environments. No government, democratic, no government, dictator, none. If the news started telling the truth it'd be hard to stay in power, hard to win an election. So you really need at least some part of the news to be completely illegitimate otherwise you can't stay in power.

So when you see that the AI which will be in the future will be our only source of information, everything you know in the future will be talking to AI. You're not going to Google search for stuff if AI can just do it for you. So I think the government needs to control AI's answers and it needs to make sure the AI will brainwash you the way you have been brainwashed so far. And they got to make sure that it doesn't tell you the truth because no government can handle the truth in the long run. So I think this is exactly what it looks like. It's the government forcing OpenAI to add lies to their algorithm otherwise they won't be allowed to operate. I don't know. It can't really go any other way by the way.

So if you're thinking to yourself well that's too far Scott, it can't actually go any other way. The government cannot survive. Guarantee they can't survive if AI is just honest and tells us the truth. That's the reason that all of your searches are so obviously brainwashing propaganda. Government can't survive with the truth.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway apparently has sold a bunch of its Apple stuff in the second quarter. Now I also sold much of my Apple stake in the second quarter. I don't know if their reason is the same as mine but to me Apple went from kind of a monopoly that nobody could touch to something closer to a jump ball because of AI. So Apple still is not nailing their AI strategy. They might. I mean if you had to bet I'd be more likely to bet they do than don't. But at the moment they look weak and I would guess that some upstart could come up with a phone that uses AI as its base mechanism and just put them out of business.

So I don't give stock advice so I'm not telling you to sell your Apple. If I had held mine I would have made a lot more money because it's much higher than when I sold it. So if you take my advice on individual companies to invest in you will be taking bad advice. I guarantee you I'm bad at this. I want everybody to hear that just in case you think I'm secretly giving you advice. I'm not because I'm bad at it. Right? Everybody's bad at individual companies.

The Wall Street Journal had a big article on Robby Starbuck and how he's been successful in getting John Deere to scrap its DEI program or at least de-emphasize it. And I guess he's going to go after some other companies. And what I find important about the story is not just the John Deere part but what I find important is that the counterforce to DEI is now legitimate enough that they can do it in public and the Wall Street Journal can write what I think is a complimentary feature piece. So just imagine that somebody as public as an anti-DEI person and the news is treating you as notable positive influence in the world. So that's pretty important. So that's good.

And that ladies and gentlemen is all that's happening today. I'm expecting some more big news to come over the weekend. Maybe Iran, maybe something else. As soon as your Apple can directly access both your Apple and your Amazon digital devices they don't. Alexa which is just crazy. I mean it already seems just hard to understand really but apparently Amazon you'll be able to talk to it with AI which will be life changing for me because all day long I talk to my digital devices. I'm always asking them about the weather and the stock market and read the local news. But you know it gets so many things wrong that it's a pain in the ass. So as soon as it can actually have a conversation with me I don't know if I'll ever leave the house again.

The Kyle Rittenhouse controversy, no interest at all. I will note that there's a Kyle Rittenhouse controversy. At one point he said he wasn't going to support Trump. Some people saying he changed his mind. Something about the Second Amendment. He's one young guy. It doesn't matter a bit who he's in favor of. Nobody's taking what is he in his early 20s. Nobody's taking the advice or the guidance or the word of somebody who's in his early 20s. That's just his opinion. Why do we care? So I think we should care less. We should insult him less. We should compliment him less. We should just care less. His opinion is not better than yours. It's not more important than yours. So he's just a person with an opinion. No interest at all.

Now here's another thing I'm watching which is the number of presidential polls that leave out the third parties. Why do we ever have a poll that leaves out RFK Jr.? How does that make sense? Well how does it make sense to leave out the third party because you know they're going to be there, right? I don't think there's any chance that RFK Jr. won't be on at least on the ballot in a lot of places if not all of them.

So I think you're going to see rigged polls, rigged funding, rigged media, rigged voter rolls, rigged immigration resettlement, and maybe a rigged auditing process after the fact. You know what you still haven't seen? You've still never seen an expert come on any show to explain the holes in the system if there are any. I would love to see Lex Fridman or Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson maybe Ben Shapiro or somebody, somebody who really knows that asks some questions. You know not just your average talking head. They're not good enough. You need somebody extra smart. So you need a Lex or you need somebody smart.

And here are the type of questions you should ask. If somebody filled out a ballot and they were not a citizen they mailed it in, how would you catch it? How carefully do you check the signatures? What percentage of people who have the wrong address are people who you should let vote because they just wrote down the address wrong? You wouldn't want to deny them versus it's an obvious signal that these are not real people when the address is wrong. How do you do that? If somebody wanted to run the same ballots through the system twice, how would you catch it? So in other words you should have a whole bunch of questions that are loosely based on things that people have been allegedly caught for cheating in the past. So you wouldn't have to make something up. You could just say all right suppose a state actor hacked the machines, how would you catch them? And then you'd hear something like oh you know we'd easily catch that. And I say no no a state actor. You don't think a state actor could get in there and change some results and get out without getting caught? A state actor like the best hackers from a major industrialized country. It can't be that hard. The hackers are into every other system.

The all caps people. Scott is dead effing wrong again. Do you notice that the people who are the most angry will never say what it is that I got wrong? It's fairly consistent. Your anger seems to be about me and not any of my opinions. How do I know? Because you would say what it was I got wrong if that were real. But no you're just here to yell in all caps. We got everything wrong. He needs to study up on topic. But it must be nice to be drunk and pathetic at this time of the day. How many of you are drunk already? I think the all caps people are just always drunk. Do you think anybody writes an all caps message unless they're drunk? Seems like a guarantee.

The anti-Semitism is broiling in the comments, just broiling today. You realize that the Shapiro nomination could be a trap. And the trap could be to get all of the anti-Semitic people on the right to complain about him being Jewish. That would be one way for the Democrats to win, to trick the conservatives into saying he can't be a good vice president because he visited Israel that time. That would be a good way to give away the election and it looks like you're all going to fall for that trap. Not all of you but probably some huge percentage of conservatives going to fall right into that trap.

All right that's all I got for you today. I'm going to try to talk to the locals people privately but thanks for joining on X and YouTube and Rumble. And if this works I will be going private just with local supporters in five seconds.

well what is show you're going to have today it's going to be incredible best Saturday experience of your life probably you'll be talking about it for years that's how good it will be good morning everybody and welcome to coffee with Scott ad Saturday edition while everybody else is lazy and sleeping if you'd like to take this experience which is already going to be amazing up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a cuper mug or glass a tankered CH ofin a canteen jug of flask vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the do mean the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now oh so good so good well here's an important story uh for people like me did you know that young people are or young women are estwing high heels for clubbing so I I'm not I have to say that it's been a while since I've been to a club let's say when was the last time I went clubbing it was uh uh last time I went clubbing was oh never never so I've never been clubbing but I understand that it was common for women to wear heels and apparently now women going out for the evening wear some kind of sneakers and jeans and I thought to myself finally finally we finally found something that could help human reproduction have you noticed that every Trend in the news is negative it's like the the dating apps are destroying us and the only fans is bad and the porn is terrible and the AI is going to take all of our romantic interest away and everything seems to be going the wrong direction but if women take their heels off suddenly they have access to a whole new range of men I.E men who were not tall enough if they wore heels but if they don't wear heels tall enough so it's like men just gained 3 Ines in height everywhere in the United States young ones because the young women are not wearing heels and the big difference is whether they're taller than the woman and that that seems more important than you know how tall they are in general they like them tall women do but they certainly have to be taller than the woman that seems to be you know key criteria on the dating apps so get rid of those heels ladies your mating opportunities have just going up substantially well you were probably aware of the stock markets and the dumper but here's how you should look at this let me tell you one thing that I told uh a young investor months ago I said stock market is looking really good right yeah looking really good you know in the summer it always takes a what yeah in the summer the stock market always takes a dump now I think there may have been an exception like some weird years but generally speaking people like to sell what they have in the summer and go on vacation literally they don't want to look at their their Holdings so anything that's sketchy they just sell it before they go on vacation so you always get a fall in the summer it might mean something something and it might not it could be because of the unemployment it could be because the FED hasn't raised the interest rates it could be something about the election it could be something about AI got a little overrun so there was no qu let me put it this way there was no future there was no possibility that the market wouldn't go down at least 10% everybody who's experienced as an investor knows that right we were heading for a 10% correction minimum I mean it could be more but minimum 10% so you're just seeing the expected 10% correction doesn't mean it'll stay there I would expect that there's nowhere else to put your money you know you don't want your money in cash you can't put it all in Bitcoin because you're not quite sure that's the way to go so what are you going to do put it in your mattress then it just gets inflated away if you want to keep up with inflation you're either going to have to own property which has its own risks or the broad stock market so for me the anti-inflation play is primarily just being in index funds you know if if the big companies can't raise their prices then nobody can so that's my play I'm keeping all of my stocks selling nothing and I wouldn't be surprised if you see it changing quite a bit between now and the election you'll because I also think the players game the system so it could be that people are just taking some profits from AI companies that ran up too much but it could be that you'll see a bunch of super rich Democrats say you know it would be really good for the Democrats is if the market felt like it was recovering so I think you're going to see a bunch of fake very large industrial buyers before election day so here's my prediction whatever the stock market Market is today I think it will be higher than that on Election Day and it won't be normal like it'll just be gaming the system kind of stuff that's what I think so that doesn't mean in the long run anything it just means I expect a little bit of Mischief all right uh so according to breit Bar news the Democrats are panicked now and they want a rate cut because unemployment took a little jump so If the Fed cuts the rates that normally juices the stock market and the rest of the economy but the FED is independent is so they don't have to do something just because the Democrats want it now you might say to yourself on this next story Scott why are you always talking about batteries batteries are so boring oh but are they I think understanding batteries and the new technology coming is just one of the biggest things to understand so here's a big big big story about batteries soyer Merit on X is reporting this so Tesla apparently has been working on something called a CA a dry cathode battery meaning that there would be no moist parts of the battery this has been a long dream apparently that was just too hard to do people have tried it but haven't gotten far enough but um it would red if it works Tesla would reduce their own cost cost between 15 and 30% if they can scale it that's right the cost of a Tesla could come down 20 to 30% if they put these better batteries in but that's not all takes up a lot less space um and U they can make smaller more efficient factories to make these uh fewer steps higher density more range better for the environment and of course we're going to need some really good batteries for your robots you think if you think your battery keeps running down in your car wa till you see your robot at least the robot can go plug itself back in actually your robot could probably drive your Tesla to the charging station and charge it for you so that's coming uh meanwhile California is uh floating the idea internally about purchasing and owning its own refineries now you might say to yourself what uh isn't California part of the United States and don't we live in a free market capitalist system where the very dumbest thing you could ever do is have the state own your means of production because that's like communism it's like Venezuela and every single possible element of that is bad idea that's why we're doing it if you if anybody has a like an updated list of terrible ideas could you send it to us in California because we're running out of terrible ideas we've implemented them all and this new one I think gets sort of the end of our list you know once you start getting rid of capitalism entirely let the criminals out uh let the the uh people from other countries flow in let that fenel come in come on fenel let's get that in here and then the only other thing we can do oh besides the fact that you can't get a house insurance if you live in California because of the poor management of the forest ours but uh now we're going to have uh barely uh get rid of capitalism because you know the state is really good at running businesses for your yeah okay yep California has become like Venezuela except except without the excellent leadership of Maduro well Elon Musk had apparently an eight and a half hour interview with Lex fredman I don't understand that I don't know why they did that but okay so I guess they they get along pretty well because they had a long talk um so here's some things we know now neurolink is looking to you know massively increase the number of electrodes into the brain and they're working on a uh product in the future that would allow maybe blind people to see for the first time think how amazing that would be imagine if Elon Musk bypassed eyes and just put a little camera on your head that is stuck into your brain and then blind people could just see and what about deaf people probably probably deaf people will be able to hear he also see seems to have some potential for solving schizophrenia seizures and memory issues well we're going to be full Android pretty soon you know Elon points out as I've pointed out for years that we're already Androids the fact that you can put your phone down doesn't change that your your phone is basically connected to your body and your brain you know that every once in a while you forget it but that's more of a design flaw anyway in other news the uh NFL announced that all of the teams will be implementing facial recognition so that every person who attends a a professional football game will be identified by facial recognition software to verify their identity um does anybody wonder why is there something we don't know about that makes that necessary what what exactly is the purpose of doing that is that for the benefit of the safety of the people going to the stadium is that for the government to find out where all the Trump supporters are what is that I crowd control collect data you know remember something I've been telling you for years that you AED is that there's no hope of preserving privacy there is no hope of PR preserving privacy so you should get your head straight about living a life that could survive no privacy if you haven't already made that change you really need to stop saying anything in a digital means that you're not willing to defend in public I think I stopped saying things digitally maybe 20 years ago probably 20 years ago was the last time I said something that maybe I'd be embarrassed if somebody saw it now I only say things that if it came out I'd say yeah you that is my opinion I don't think there's anything I write down digitally that I couldn't say in public and it's been that way for a long time and you know I've I've had actually had the experience of sending an encrypted message and then seeing it in the news that'll that'll straighten you out really fast yeah imagine sending an encrypted app message and then seeing it in the news yep that happened that's a real thing that happened with me anyway um remember that story about the 911 planners who were in custody and they did a plea deal and the plea deal would give them life in prison but no execution well defense secretary Lloyd Austin has reversed that and actually removed removed from office the person who approved it so not only did he reverse it but the person who tried to do it in the first place got slapped down pretty hard they were removed from that position that's a pretty hard rebuke now does it seem to you like this is maybe entirely political it looks entirely political to me I think the uh the Democrats just thought it was awkward to do this right before an election because it's just one more thing you can you know pin on Biden I think this is purely political what would be the other reason and by the way I don't have any problem with the plea deal is there something wrong with it how many of you think that the um terrorists would be happier if they're if they have life in prison I don't see that I see them being being happier to to be executed if you had life in prison wouldn't you want to be executed especially if you thought you'd get your 72 virgins I'm not even like I don't understand it like are we trying to be good to the Bad Guys by giving them life well how's that even a deal so so there's something deeply unreported about this there's something about the story we're missing and whatever that is is going to be interesting but we'll probably never find out anyway don't believe the news uh speaking of the news Russia allegedly here's another one I don't believe all right so I saw this on social media so I'll tell you what it says but I don't believe it uh that Russia is going to block Google IOS and Android what would he use if it doesn't use those now blocking Google seems possible but how do you block IOS and Android what is there some operating system is it a Chinese operating system will they just go China products maybe but uh why would they do this it's probably for security right is it for security or is it just to damage the US's dominance in the industry don't know but uh I would think that if Putin doesn't trust Google IOS and Android maybe you shouldn't either and again just assume you have no privacy uh Russia probably isn't happy with giving up their privacy but we already have so it's no real difference all right we're all waiting breathlessly for any moment now Iran to respond and attack Israel maybe through proxies because Israel murdered their the head of uh hamas's political wing while he was in Iran in the guest house and Iran is saying that Israel crossed all their red lines their response will be Swift and heavy and and then the US is sending military forces there so we'll have a strike group and we'll have some more aircraft and whatever assets we need just in case now of course it's being it's being presented as this is a way to reduce violence because it'll maybe make Iran think they don't want to do too much but to me it's always so weird when two countries at War do War Theater now when Israel takes out the leader one of the leaders of Hamas that's not a theater that's militarily strategic but when Iran um responds isn't that purely theater because Iran's response nobody expects it will change anybody's future Behavior they just have to act like they look like they can do stuff so whatever they do is just going to be some weird theery thing and if they go too far they will invite more destruction on themselves than they want so they've got this weird little situation where they have to do something theatrical that maybe kills an Israeli if you know if they get what they want um but they can't do anything that's important so what's what's that leave you can't do anything important but it can't actually make a difference because if it makes a difference that would be too dangerous for Iran so it might be like that last thing where they warned the US well there might be an attack you might want to duck and get in holes and uh you know we don't want to kill anybody but we got to make a theatrical attack so you know everybody here it comes and so it looks like they're not going to give a warning this time or at least that's what we're told maybe they will but here's my prediction I think Israel is going to degrade Hezbollah and they're just looking for any excuse now they don't need an excuse because Hezbollah has been you know continuously attacking forever what they need is for the Israeli public and the American public to say oh there's a good excuse so I don't think Iran has ever been in a more perilous situation because if they do something theatrical that everybody can agree was a nothing maybe things just chug along the way they have been but they say Israel crossed a red line which means an appropriate response would also cross a red line now can they find a red line that they think is a red line that they crossed while Israel can argue well that wasn't much of a red line and the US can say well I see they tried but we shot down all their missiles so it was sort of a nothing this one's going to be really interesting I think the hardest part will be Iran trying to figure out something that's the right message and that they could actually execute I don't know what there is um I'll tell you what they won't do I don't expect them to kill a high ranking high ranking American or military officer I don't think they're going to take a head shot at Israel because again that would be full War so I think it's inevitable that Israel will uh have to attack Hezbollah directly and massively I don't see any way around it it's just when it happens really um could it could it happened this month or next year it's just going to happen I I would rule out any possibility it doesn't happen I don't think that's even in the option set anymore that's my guess well Iran is apparently allegedly who knows if this is true arrested more than two dozen people that they think might have been knowledgeable are possibly complicit in this assassination in their country and I say to myself if they arrested two dozen people doesn't that mean they're going to torture them all right mean if they arrested them but they don't have evidence that they were involved it it sounds like they're just grabbing everybody who would know anything and then they're just going to torture them all can Iran really get away with torturing two dozen of their own people of which I would guess no more than one of them might have been involved I it feels like that's kind of a big risk for the the leader because if you're in the military and you just found out that two dozen people got scooped up for interrogation and you know for sure that there couldn't be more than one of those people who knew anything about this You' feel pretty mad at your leadership for treating you like you Expendable I don't know if I could ever get over that if I saw my beloved leaders in the military you know people I respected get scooped up when I knew for sure they were not involved in this because they just wouldn't be I don't know that I could ever fight for that country again if they ever wanted to so Iran has more problems than I've seen anybody ever have a problem I don't know I don't know how they're going to navigate this well let's see um let's talk about politics is anybody amazed that the top two Democrats that the entire Democratic party could put together the top two now I'm not talking about the VP yet I'm talking about uh Biden and then Harris the top two what is the one thing they both have in common this unusual for a national politician nobody thinks they can answer a question just hold that in your mind the the two best thing people that the Democrats could field Biden and Harris nobody on either side not a Democrat not a republican believes they're capable of standing in front of other people and answering basic questions about their profession and what's going on how did we get here yeah this is a great lesson on you can get used to anything as long as it happens a little bit slowly we just got used to it how in the world how in the world do the Democrats put up with having their two best people unable to talk in public literally the most salian part of the job and we're just like we're just going on so today after I'll say this I'll say the two best Democrats one of them likely to be the next president and they can't talk in public you could almost throw a dart into a crowd and guess somebody who could answer a question in public I mean you have a good good shot at it anyway so uh that's amazing but uh there was apparently some kind of accidental leak out of the Philadelphia mayor's office some staffer that uh released a video that would suggest that the Democrats already know that they're going to be choosing Josh Shapiro the governor of Pennsylvania for their VP candidate so I think we're got all acting like that's a done deal today even though it's not official but we're going to talk about it like it is and let's talk about the fake news first how many of you believe that Josh Shapiro once served in the IDF volunteered and then served in the IDF that would be the Israeli Defense Force the military in Israel how many believe that's true because social media said it was true how many of you believe that's actually a real thing it's not a real thing all right let me say it so so that you don't embarrass yourself because a lot of people in the right are falling for this pretty hard here's what was true in high school his high school had some kind of a program where they had to volunteer for something so he and some other students volunteered remember this is high school these these are just kids uh volunteered to uh or was it College uh volunteered to go to uh Israel and they worked on a Kuts or something but part of it is they volunteered to do some inter like work for the IDF they weren't in the IDF they were like unpaid interns sweeping sidewalks and you know doing stuff like that so he wasn't carrying a gun he wasn't going to war for the IDF he wasn't a member of the IDF he was a student who was having an experience in another country that included some you know some stuff that was unimportant and student likee for a military force now should you be comfortable with that just because I said well he didn't you know he didn't actually pledge his allegiance to another country it's just it was just a student experience are you uncomfortable with that to know there somebody who had a substantial in his in his youth he had a substantial experience with another country that's an ally of the United States how many of you have a problem with that because I think voters will that they will hear the story and they'll believe he had joined the military you know probably probably a third of conservatives will now forever believe he fought in the Israeli military probably a third and will never be talked out of it because that's how the fake news works it's pretty sticky um now what's interesting of course is that Shapiro is Jewish and therefore the question will be which party is more anti-semitic so will there be more uh Republicans who are on the extreme side saying oh no that's one more reason we can't vote for them well that shouldn't make any difference because nobody I don't think any Republicans would vote for KL Harris because you picked a Jewish vice president so that's probably zero impact on the Republican side and I don't think the Republicans would necessarily well I just don't think the Republicans will vote differently because this in any way but we all are asking the question hey aren't there a lot of uh progressives over in the Democrat Party who are not so pro-israel at the moment maybe a little bit more Pro Palestinian maybe Michigan maybe the squad and the answer is yeah that's probably going to be an issue um but it depends how he talks about the situation too you know I think what he says today will be more important than whatever he said in the past um and and let me say this I think it's important to know what the candidates thought in the past you know it's important I think to know that Trump was once a Democrat I think that's important I think it's important to know if uh KL Harris used to have far more left leaning opinions but maybe she's been talked into something more Centrist to get elected I I think we need to know about the past but I I firmly believe that if you can defend why you changed your mind we should allow that I like people who can change their minds right that's not a negative it used to be I remember Democrat or the uh who was it I think mostly the Republicans would complain about the other candidate flip-flopping you remember that used to be the thing you're a flip-flopper and I used to say you mean somebody updated their thinking with new information why are we mad at that I want the person who can update their thinking with new information and we've seen it happen I want to know I've seen it I don't want somebody to go into office and say I have the same opinions I had when I was 20 that would scare the out of me I need somebody who is mentally flexible and capable of changing their opinion so I think it's important to know that kamla had some instincts that were left leaning and she might bring that into the office but uh if she could defend her new opinions then I would feel differently about it for example if somebody said well I used to think um Universal healthc care like one Single Payer was the only way to go but now I think it would be impractical because the country really wants Private health insurance too and uh there's no way you could get there anyway so now I think I'll just you know want to lower prices for healthcare so you could you could imagine her explaining it in a way where you'd say oh well if you can make the argument that suggests that you understand the argument for that new opinion so look look for ability to defend the current opinion that would be far more important all right so we we're going to be talking almost Non-Stop about anti-Semitism just because she Peru is in the race we'll see how that goes but again most people don't vote for anybody who's the vice president anyway so he's in favor of a two country solution in Israel he thinks Netanyahu is the worst leader ever um well there you go now I think uh there's going to be a lot of talk about his what the critics will say some kind of split loyalty which I don't see in evidence but that'll be part of the story people will suspect he's got split Allegiance and again there's no evidence of that um it's not illegal to visit another country and have an experience all right so let's talk about how clean the elections will be coming up so as you're all aware in 2020 there were great number of people who questioned the election whether it was fair but we've had four years since then so thank God all the problems have been fixed what what nothing's different well let's do a little rundown of what we know about the coming election number one attorney generals from Virginia and Missouri and Wyoming are going to look into act blue that's a big fundraiser raing entity for the Democrats that uh according to OMG and O'Keefe James O'Keefe and his investigation according to them they've been laundering large donations from God knows where maybe a foreign country we don't even know um through the the names of elderly who don't know their names are being used because you can't give big dollar amounts you know there's limits but you can say oh a million people donated a little bit each but they're fake fake uh donors they're real people they're just elderly people who are never going to check and nobody will ever know that they didn't really donate so the evidence seems pretty strong there something sketchy is going there so one of the biggest sources of money for the Democrats might be fake but hey that's just you know one element of an election is the funding so just because the funding might be fake that doesn't mean anything else is fake people I don't want you to get all crazy about doubting things just because the funding for the Democrats is probably fraudulent and we do expect that some of the largest donors are also blackmailed so I wouldn't believe anything about the funding sources uh but hey that's just one part of an election I mean it does affect it so it does seem that crime would be already affecting the outcome but remember there are lots more elements to an election so it's not all about the funding uh there's also the media see MSNBC says uh it's a life or death Choice um if you pick Trump so somebody named uh Tara setm said in MSNBC and I quote Women Voters are looking at this election as a life or death Choice the binary choice is democracy or Trump and for women it's our lives or Trump okay so all right so the media is totally fixed and they're just going to give you scary stories about Trump that are all just made up but people I want you to relax a little bit because I know you're thinking oh wait so the funding is totally illegitimate and the media which is the only source of news for the Democrats is also completely fake propaganda well that's true that seems to be true but people don't lose hope because the money in politics and the media are just two variables that's just two variables there's a lot more that goes into voting than just the money and the media okay it might be 60% of it but there's still there's still more let's see over on oan the network uh they had election fraud researcher in former California lawmaker Steve Baldwin and he''s been looking into uh the Georgia voter roles this these are the people who are registered to vote in Georgia here are some things he claims to have found 179,000 voters with incomplete addresses that would be like missing apartment unit or Suite numbers which be a little suspicious but hey that's just you know one variable uh also 115,000 voters used invalid mailing address oh H 114,000 that's like way more than the number of people that determine the election in that state huh and then there are 79,000 people who somehow managed to register on a Federal holiday and the question would be how'd you do that I don't know maybe there's some kind of time delay on that or something and uh 69,000 voters permanently moved on state but still remain on the roles uh really okay well I don't have verification that all of these things are true they're just a whole bunch of claims that the voter roles are so polluted that it would be somewhat trivially easy for a bad actor to be collecting all these ballots and getting people to vote who should not be voting and of course they would never be caught because it wouldn't be one big Scandal it would just be a bunch of individual voters who yeah maybe they shouldn't have voted but it's not like one big problem it's just a whole bunch of individual little things you know you could ignore the little things can't you all right so we don't have voter roles and the media is rigged and the funding is rigged but at least we have law enforcement to make sure that everything's running fine all right here's a new story do you know cisa cisa where is it cisa cisa and the FBI uh they they've got a warning on Election data whoa listen to this apparently they have some information that suggests something's coming they say uh they they did a public service now an ment how how useful this is to aware to raise awareness there might be a denial of service attack on Election infrastructure oh that sounds bad that could hinder access to election information well that sounds bad hackers could hinder our access to election information oh but it's okay it's okay they say it would not impact the security or Integrity of the election process oh so the voting would be fine the only problem would be if you tried to find out how people voted after the fact you know sort of like auditing or something like that huh so it's looking exactly like they're they're warning us that they're not going to let us audit the election that's what I see and they're going to blame it on a hacker h so all right so maybe the FBI and cesa are actually malign actors because they apparently are preparing to lie to us later and sure the election voter roles are completely polluted which would suggest it would be easy to rig and yes the media is completely a propaganda outfit and certainly the funding is some kind of moneya laundering operation so but anyway those are just a few things just just a few things but there are lots of other elements to election for example uh back in 2019 then Senator Harris according to Fox News um talked about the sizable contributions in swing states of having all these illegal immigrants oh so she admitted in 2019 that the plan was to bring in illegal immigrants to change the voting in the swing States okay so we have illegal immigration to change the swing straight votes we've got the FBI saying there's going to be some kind of fake attack that will allow us not to audit the elections the voter roles seem to be rigged in Georgia and the funding is fake and the media is full of propaganda Now That's What I Call democracy people yeah and you know what you don't want you don't want Trump to come in here and steal your democracy am my right I mean look how good things are set up everything looks perfectly good to me the only thing that could go wrong with this magnificent system we have is if somebody like Trump comes in and steals your democracy and by the way the Democrats are very clear about how he's going to do it you know that right they're very clear about how Trump will steal your democracy should I tell you what you don't know it's a very clear plan he's uh change the subject no there is no plan to steal your democracy well but least the one thing we can count on is that the people who are protecting our candidates are doing their very best and you're getting a really good safe Secret Service situation according to Breitbart News there was a rasmuson poll that said 41% of Voters believe Federal officials were involved in the Trump assassination attempt okay so the credibility of our government is so low that 41% of the public thinks the Government tried to murder Trump so but don't worry there are only a few things that look like they're a little sketchy the voter roles the propaganda from the media the fake funding the FBI warning us that they're going to hide the audit information the fact that they're bringing in people specifically and directly to alter the swing state populations and the fact that 41% believe that the government literally tried to kill one of the candidates you know what's looking like a beacon of democracy today Venezuela do you think Venezuela had this many problems s now I don't suspect that the Venezuela vote was real but did they have this many problems I'm not sure they did did anybody try to murder one of their candidates I don't recall that well if you put it all together my current prediction is that we won't have an election this year we will have people voting there will be an election day and people will vote and votes will be counted when it's done whichever side lost will say that was no election that was a sham and the results must be thrown out uh and here's my fake slative electors and everything else I don't think our current system gives us any chance of an election result that the country accepts would you disagree with that our current setup is so sketchy and so really non-credible the whole system is has no credibility at all that if your side loses you're going to think it was cheating and you'll be right I think you'd be right and by the way that probably works both ways you know if somehow the Republicans have figured out some clever but legal way to game the system what do you think Democrats are going to say the they're going to say they're going to say that Hitler just took over and they're going to do everything they can to take Trump out of office they're going to impeach them on day one if they can if they have the votes um and they're going to be marching in the streets and the cities will burn the cities are going to burn if Trump wins I mean I think that's guaranteed and not because of trump because the bad guys want power so they're going to make it look like the citizens can't live with this president and it won't be real it'll be fake like BLM and antifa it'll just be funded by the usual people and then of course there'll be another Charlottesville March right away and everybody will be Fooled Again into thinking that was organic it wasn't whatever it was it definitely wasn't organic anyway um uh so Trump has agreed to debate K Harris on September 4th I do think the Harris has a reasonably good chance of doing well in the debate and the only reason I say it is that there's no back and forth so she will be asked a question and then Trump's microphone will be muted I suppose and then she will just read from her little you know or she'll have a memorized answer to every topic and then she'll just do her memorized answer and you'll say oh that sounded pretty good that was coherent and it'll just be memorized and then they'll go to Trump and he'll make some terrible accusation and then she won't necessarily respond to it directly she will also um she'll just say what she says about the topic and then when it's done the media will say my God that was a masterful you know I don't know why people said she's not good at this she's the greatest debater she got she had her prosecutor hat on and the media will say that she won in a landslide even if she didn't so I I think her odds are doing well are pretty high but there's also a good chance that she gets derailed by something that happens and you know can't answer a question so we still want to see her sit down for a real interview with a real reporter I don't think it's going to happen I think she's going to get the George Stephanopoulos treatment where she probably knows the questions I I don't know that that's true but you kind of suspect she might know the questions so she just goes into a friendly interview with the answers prepared and they just come right out by the way did you hear hear her uh her phone call with her supporters where she was talking about I guess receiving enough support to be the nominee and she does this phone call and she reads it can you believe that she did a phone call where she read a speech she read a speech into a phone call now some of it of course you would expect to be you know prepared but wouldn't you expect a whole bunch of extemporaneous comments and then maybe she'd say oh and I just want to read this little statement so we're all clear apparently she couldn't do that do you think Trump would have just read a statement not a chance he would have talked for 10 minutes and then he would say if he had time left oh let me read the statement completely different level of communication ability completely different um so the hill says that Trump risks losing more black voters with this Harris identity attacks you know the question about whether she's black or is she indian-american or both and I think this is propaganda from the hill Trump Lo RIS losing more black voters here's what I wonder do you think that the black men and the black women feel the same about this because I'll bet not and and I think that by hiding the fact that the black men and the black women may be diverging in terms of trump support I think they're hiding that I think they're hiding the ball because the big story is men versus women and the media they don't want to say it directly because they're going to lose all their men in the Democrat Party at least the ones that still has some testosterone anyway um so Elon Musk revealed on his Lex Friedman interview that he talked to Trump about creating a government efficiency commission to make the government efficient and that he would actually be interested in being on it now that doesn't mean it'll happen but it's a hell of an idea do you know who did that first a government Commission on making the government more efficient Al Gore so when Al Gore was vice president his job was to essentially automate the government and make it so that you could just go online and get your your work done and over time we've seen that the federal government has moved a lot of stuff online it is more efficient in that way anyway but a lot of work to do on that so that would be fun um so open AI who makes chat gbt says the government's going to see their new version Chad G pt5 before anyone else hold that in your mind so open AI has an association or arrangement with the government where their new version and this one is you know rumored to be super smart compared to the current one um that the government has to see a her first why do you suppose that is do you there is let me say it again no government can survive an honest news environment that's why there are no honest news environments the no government Democratic no government dictator none if if the if the news started telling the truth it'd be hard to stay in power uh hard to win an election so you really need at least some part of the news to be completely you know illegitimate otherwise you can't stay in power so when you see that the AI which will be in the future will be our only source of information everything you know in the future will be talking to AI you're not going to Google search for stuff if AI can just do it for you so I think the government needs to control ai's answers and it needs to make sure the AI will brainwash you the way you have been brainwashed so far and they got to make sure that it doesn't tell you the truth because no Government Can can handle the truth in the long run so I think this is exactly what it looks like it's the government forcing open AI to add lies to their algorithm otherwise they won't be allowed to operate I don't know it can't really go any other way by the way so if you're thinking to yourself well that's too far Scott it can't actually go any other way the government cannot survive guarantee they can't survive if AI is just honest and tell us the truth that that's the reason that all of your searches are so obviously you know brainwashing propaganda government can't survive with the truth um Warren Buffett's Brookshire hathway apparently is sold a bunch of its Apple stuff in the second quarter now I also sold much of my Apple steak in the second quarter I don't know if their reason is the same as mine but to me Apple went from kind of a monopoly that nobody could touch to something closer to a jump ball because of AI so Apple still is not nailing their AI strategy they might I mean if you had to bet I'd be more likely to bet they do than don't but at the moment um they look weak and I would guess that some upstart could come up with a phone that uses AI as its you know base mechanism and just put them in a business so I I don't give uh stock advice so I'm not telling you to sell your Apple if I had held mine I would have made a lot more money money because it's much higher than when I sold it so if you take my advice on individual companies to to invest in you will be taking bad advice I guarantee you I'm bad at this I want everybody hear that just in case you think I'm secretly giving you advice I'm not because I'm bad at it right everybody's bad at individual companies all right well Journal had a big article on Robbie Starbuck and how he's been successful in getting John Deere to scrap its Dei program or at least deemphasize it and uh I guess he's going to go after some other companies and what I find important about the story is not just the John Deere part but what I find important is that the counterforce to Dei is now legitimate enough that they can do it in public and the Wall Street Journal can write a what I think is a complimentary feature piece so just imagine that somebody is public as an anti- Dei person and the news is treating you as notable positive influence in the world so that's pretty important so that's good and that ladies and gentlemen is all that's happening today I'm expecting some more big news to come over the weekend maybe Iran maybe something else um yeah right now as soon as uh your Apple can directly access both your Apple and your Amazon Digital devices they don't access AI which is just crazy I mean it already seems just hard to understand really but apparently Amazon will you'll be able to talk to it with AI which will be life changing for me because all day long I talk to my digital devices I'm always asking them about the the weather and the stock market and read the local news and uh but you know it gets so many things wrong that it's a pain in the ass so as soon as it can actually have a conversation with me I don't know if I'll ever leave the house again all right the uh Kyle writtenhouse controversy no interest at all I will note that there's a Kyle writtenhouse controversy at one point he said he wasn't going to support Trump some people saying he changed his mind something about the Second Amendment he's one young guy it doesn't matter a bit who who he's in favor of nobody's taking what is he in his early 20s nobody's taking the the advice or the guidance or the word of somebody who's in his early 20s that's just his opinion why do we care so I think we should care less uh we should insult him less we should compliment him less we should just care less he his opinion is not better than yours it's not more important than yours so he's just a person with an opinion no interest at all now here's another thing I'm watching which is the number of Presidential polls that leave out the third parties why do we ever have a poll that leaves out RFK Jr how does that make sense well how does it make sense to leave out the third party because you know they're going to be there right that I don't think there's any chance that RFK Jr won't be on the on the at least on the ballot in a lot of places if not all of them all right so it's yeah so I think you're going to see rigged polls rigged funding rigged media rigged voter polls rigged uh immigration resettlement and maybe a rigged auditing process after the fact you know what you still haven't seen you've still never seen an expert come on any show to explain uh the holes in the system if there are any I would love to see Lex Friedman or Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson maybe uh Ben Shapiro or somebody so somebody who really knows that ask some questions you know not just your average talking head they're not good enough you need somebody extra smart so you need a a Lex or you need a you know you need somebody smart and here are the type of questions you should ask if somebody filled down a ballot and they were not a citizen they mailed it in how would you catch it how how carefully do you check the signatures what percentage of people who have the wrong address are people who you should let vote because they just wrote down the address wrong you wouldn't want to deny them versus it's an obvious signal that these are not real people when the address is wrong how do you how do you do that if somebody wanted to run the same ballots through the system twice how would you catch it so in other words you should have a whole bunch of questions that are Loosely based on things that people have been allegedly caught for Cheating in the past so you wouldn't have to make something up you could just say all right suppose a state actor uh hacked the machines how would you catch them and then you'd hear something like oh you know we'd easily catch that and I say no no a state actor you don't think a state actor could get in there and change some results and get out without getting caught a state actor like the the best hackers from you know a major industrialized country it can't be that hard the hackers are into every other system the the all caps people Scott is dead effing wrong again do you notice that the people who are the most angry will never say what it is that I got wrong it's fairly consistent your anger seems to be about me and not any of my opinions how do I know because you would say what it was I got wrong if that were real but no you're just here to yell in all caps we got everything wrong he needs to study up on topic but it must it must be nice to be drunk and pathetic at this time of the day how many of you are uh drunk already I think the all caps people are just always drunk do do you think anybody writes an all caps message unless they're drunk seems like a guarantee all right the anti anti-Semitism is broiling in the comments just broiling today um you realize that the the Shapiro nomination could be a trap and the trap could be to get all of the anti-semitic uh people on the right to complain about him being Jewish that would be one way for the Democrats to win to trick the the conservatives into saying he can't be a good vice president because he visited Israel that time that would be a good way to give away the election and it looks like you're all going to fall for that trap not all of you but probably you know some huge percentage of conservatives going to fall right into that trap all right that's all I got for you today I'm going to try to talk to the locals people privately but thanks for joining on X and You.

Tube and Rumble and if this works I will be going private just with local supporters in 5 seconds e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

while everybody else is lazy and

sleeping if you'd like to take this

experience which is already going to be

amazing up to levels that nobody can

even understand with their tiny shiny

human brains all you need is a cuper mug

or glass a tankered CH ofin a canteen

jug of flask vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite liquid I like coffee

join me now for the unparallel pleasure

the do mean the day thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now

oh so

good so

good well here's an important story uh

for people like me did you know that

young people are or young women are

estwing high heels for

clubbing so I I'm not I have to say that

it's been a while since I've been to a

club let's say when was the last time I

went clubbing it was uh uh last time I

went clubbing was oh never never so I've

never been clubbing but I understand

that it was common for women to wear

heels and apparently now women going out

for the evening wear some kind of

sneakers and jeans and I thought to

myself

finally finally we finally found

something that could help human

reproduction

have you noticed that every Trend in the

news is negative it's like the the

dating apps are destroying us and the

only fans is bad and the porn is

terrible and the AI is going to take all

of our romantic interest away and

everything seems to be going the wrong

direction but if women take their heels

off suddenly they have access to a whole

new range of men I.E men who were not

tall enough if they wore heels but if

they don't wear heels tall

enough so it's like men just gained 3

Ines in height everywhere in the United

States young ones because the young

women are not wearing

heels and the big difference is whether

they're taller than the woman and that

that seems more important than you know

how tall they are in general they like

them tall women do but they certainly

have to be taller than the woman that

seems to be you know key criteria on the

dating apps so get rid of those heels

ladies your mating opportunities have

just going up

substantially well you were probably

aware of the stock markets and the

dumper but here's how you should look at

this let me tell you one thing that I

told uh a young investor months ago I

said stock market is looking really good

right yeah looking really good

you know in the summer it always takes a

what yeah in the summer the stock

market always takes a

dump now I think there may have been an

exception like some weird years but

generally speaking people like to sell

what they have in the summer and go on

vacation literally they don't want to

look at their their Holdings so anything

that's sketchy they just sell it before

they go on vacation so you always get a

fall in the summer it might mean

something something and it might not it

could be because of the unemployment it

could be because the FED hasn't raised

the interest rates it could be something

about the election it could be something

about AI got a little

overrun so there was no qu let me put it

this

way there was no future there was no

possibility that the market wouldn't go

down at least

10% everybody who's experienced as an

investor knows that

right we were heading for a 10%

correction minimum I mean it could be

more but minimum 10% so you're just

seeing the expected 10% correction

doesn't mean it'll stay there I would

expect that there's nowhere else to put

your money you know you don't want your

money in cash you can't put it all in

Bitcoin because you're not quite sure

that's the way to go so what are you

going to do put it in your mattress then

it just gets inflated away if you want

to keep up with inflation you're either

going to have to own property which has

its own risks or the broad stock market

so for me the anti-inflation play is

primarily just being in index funds you

know if if the big companies can't raise

their prices then nobody can so that's

my play I'm keeping all of my stocks

selling

nothing and I wouldn't be

surprised if you see it changing quite a

bit between now and the election you'll

because I also think the players game

the

system so it could be that people are

just taking some profits from AI

companies that ran up too much but it

could be that you'll see a bunch of

super rich Democrats say you know it

would be really good for the Democrats

is if the market felt like it was

recovering so I think you're going to

see a bunch of fake very large

industrial buyers before election day so

here's my

prediction whatever the stock market

Market is

today I think it will be higher than

that on Election Day and it won't be

normal like it'll just be gaming the

system kind of stuff that's what I think

so that doesn't mean in the long run

anything it just means I expect a little

bit of

Mischief all right uh so according to

breit Bar news the Democrats are

panicked now and they want a rate cut

because unemployment took a little jump

so If the Fed cuts the rates that

normally juices the stock market and the

rest of the economy but the FED

is independent is so they don't have to

do something just because the Democrats

want it now you might say to yourself on

this next story Scott why are you always

talking about batteries batteries are so

boring oh but are they I think

understanding batteries and the new

technology coming is just one of the

biggest things to understand so here's a

big big big story about batteries soyer

Merit on X is reporting this so Tesla

apparently has been working on something

called a CA a dry cathode battery

meaning that there would be no moist

parts of the battery this has been a

long dream apparently that was just too

hard to do people have tried it but

haven't gotten far enough but um it

would red if it works Tesla would reduce

their own cost cost between 15 and 30%

if they can scale

it that's right the cost of a Tesla

could come down 20 to 30% if they put

these better batteries in but that's not

all takes up a lot less

space um and U they can make smaller

more efficient factories to make these

uh fewer steps higher density more range

better for the

environment and of course we're going to

need some really good batteries for your

robots you think if you think your

battery keeps running down in your car

wa till you see your robot at least the

robot can go plug itself back in

actually your robot could probably drive

your Tesla to the charging station and

charge it for you so that's

coming uh meanwhile California is uh

floating the idea internally about

purchasing and owning its own refineries

now you might say to yourself what uh

isn't California part of the United

States and don't we live in a free

market capitalist system where the very

dumbest thing you could ever do is have

the state own your means of production

because that's like communism it's like

Venezuela and every single possible

element of that is bad

idea that's why we're doing

it if you if anybody has a like an

updated list of terrible ideas could you

send it to us in California because

we're running out of terrible ideas

we've implemented them

all and this new one I think gets sort

of the end of our list you know once you

start getting rid of capitalism entirely

let the criminals out uh let the the uh

people from other countries flow in let

that fenel come in come on fenel let's

get that in here and then the only other

thing we can do oh besides the fact that

you can't get a house insurance if you

live in California because of the poor

management of the forest

ours but uh now we're going to have uh

barely uh get rid of capitalism because

you know the state is really good at

running businesses for

your yeah okay yep California has become

like Venezuela except except without the

excellent leadership of

Maduro well Elon Musk had apparently an

eight and a half hour interview with Lex

fredman I don't understand

that I don't know why they did

that but okay so I guess they they get

along pretty well because they had a

long

talk um so here's some things we know

now

neurolink is looking to you know

massively increase the number of

electrodes into the brain and they're

working on a uh product in the future

that would allow maybe blind people to

see for the first time think how amazing

that would

be imagine if Elon Musk bypassed

eyes and just put a little camera on

your head that is stuck into your brain

and then blind people could just

see and what about deaf

people probably probably deaf people

will be able to hear he also see seems

to have some potential for solving

schizophrenia seizures and memory issues

well we're going to be full Android

pretty soon you know Elon points out as

I've pointed out for years that we're

already

Androids the fact that you can put your

phone down doesn't change that your your

phone is basically connected to your

body and your brain you know that every

once in a while you forget it but that's

more of a design

flaw anyway in other news the uh NFL

announced that all of the teams will be

implementing facial

recognition so that every person who

attends a a professional football game

will be identified by facial recognition

software to verify their

identity um does anybody wonder

why is there something we don't know

about that makes that

necessary what what exactly is the

purpose of doing that

is that for the benefit of the safety of

the people going to the

stadium is that for the government to

find out where all the Trump supporters

are what is that I crowd control collect

data you know remember something I've

been telling you for years that you AED

is that there's no hope of preserving

privacy

there is no hope of PR preserving

privacy so you should get your head

straight about living a life that could

survive no

privacy if you haven't already made that

change you really need to stop saying

anything in a digital means that you're

not willing to defend in public I think

I stopped saying things

digitally maybe 20 years

ago probably 20 years ago was the last

time I said something that maybe I'd be

embarrassed if somebody saw it now I

only say things that if it came out I'd

say yeah you that is my

opinion I don't think there's anything I

write down digitally that I couldn't say

in public and it's been that way for a

long time and you know I've I've had

actually had the experience of sending

an encrypted message and then seeing it

in the

news that'll that'll straighten you out

really fast yeah imagine sending an

encrypted app message and then seeing it

in the news yep that happened that's a

real thing that happened with

me anyway um remember that story about

the 911 planners who were in custody and

they did a plea deal and the plea deal

would give them life in prison but no

execution well defense secretary Lloyd

Austin has reversed that and actually

removed removed from office the person

who approved it so not only did he

reverse it but the person who tried to

do it in the first place got slapped

down pretty hard they were removed from

that position that's a pretty hard

rebuke now does it seem to you like this

is maybe entirely

political it looks entirely political to

me I think the uh the Democrats just

thought it was awkward to do this right

before an election because it's just one

more thing you can you know pin on

Biden I think this is purely

political what would be the other reason

and by the way I don't have any problem

with the plea

deal is there something wrong with

it how many of you think that the um

terrorists would be

happier if they're if they have life in

prison I don't see that I see them being

being happier to to be

executed if you had life in

prison wouldn't you want to be

executed especially if you thought you'd

get your 72

virgins I'm not even like I don't

understand it like are we trying to be

good to the Bad

Guys by giving them life well how's that

even a

deal so so there's something deeply

unreported about this there's something

about the story we're

missing and whatever that is is going to

be interesting but we'll probably never

find

out anyway don't believe the news uh

speaking of the news Russia allegedly

here's another one I don't believe all

right so I saw this on social media so

I'll tell you what it says but I don't

believe it uh that Russia is going to

block Google IOS and

Android what would he use if it doesn't

use those now blocking Google seems

possible but how do you block IOS and

Android what is there some operating

system is it a Chinese operating system

will they just go China

products

maybe but uh why would they do this it's

probably for security right is it for

security or is it just to damage the

US's dominance in the

industry don't know but uh I would think

that if Putin doesn't trust Google IOS

and Android maybe you shouldn't

either and again just assume you have no

privacy uh Russia probably isn't happy

with giving up their privacy but we

already have so it's no real

difference all right we're all waiting

breathlessly for any moment now Iran to

respond and attack Israel maybe through

proxies because Israel murdered their

the head of uh hamas's political wing

while he was in Iran in the guest house

and Iran is saying that Israel crossed

all their red lines their response will

be Swift and

heavy and and then the US is sending

military

forces there so we'll have a strike

group and we'll have some more aircraft

and whatever assets we need just in case

now of course it's being it's being

presented as this is a way to reduce

violence because it'll maybe make Iran

think they don't want to do too

much but to me it's always so weird

when two countries at War do War

Theater now when Israel takes out the

leader one of the leaders of Hamas

that's not a theater that's

militarily

strategic but when Iran um responds

isn't that purely

theater because Iran's response nobody

expects it will change anybody's future

Behavior they just have to act like they

look like they can do stuff so whatever

they do is just going to be some weird

theery thing and if they go too

far they will invite more destruction on

themselves than they want so they've got

this weird little situation where they

have to do something theatrical that

maybe kills an Israeli if you know if

they get what they want um but they

can't do anything that's

important so what's what's that leave

you can't do anything

important but it can't actually make a

difference because if it makes a

difference that would be too dangerous

for

Iran

so it might be like that last thing

where they warned the US well there

might be an attack you might want to

duck and get in holes and uh you know we

don't want to kill anybody but we got to

make a theatrical attack so you know

everybody here it comes and so it looks

like they're not going to give a warning

this time or at least that's what we're

told maybe they

will but here's my

prediction I think Israel is going to

degrade Hezbollah and they're just

looking for any excuse

now they don't need an excuse because

Hezbollah has been you know continuously

attacking forever what they need is for

the Israeli public and the American

public to say oh there's a good

excuse so I don't think Iran has ever

been in a more perilous

situation because if they do something

theatrical that everybody can agree was

a nothing maybe things just chug along

the way they have been but they say

Israel crossed a red

line which means an appropriate response

would also cross a red

line now can they find a red line that

they think is a red line that they

crossed while Israel can argue well that

wasn't much of a red line and the US can

say well I see they tried but we shot

down all their missiles so it was sort

of a

nothing this one's going to be really

interesting I think the hardest part

will be Iran trying to figure out

something that's the right message and

that they could actually execute I don't

know what there is um I'll tell you what

they won't

do I don't expect them to kill a high

ranking high ranking American or

military officer I don't think they're

going to take a head shot at Israel

because again that would be full

War so I think it's inevitable that

Israel will uh have

to attack Hezbollah directly and

massively I don't see any way around it

it's just when it happens

really um could it could it happened

this month or next year it's just going

to happen I I would rule out any

possibility it doesn't happen I don't

think that's even in the option set

anymore that's my

guess well Iran is apparently allegedly

who knows if this is true arrested more

than two dozen people that they think

might have been knowledgeable are

possibly complicit in this assassination

in their country and I say to myself if

they arrested two dozen people doesn't

that mean they're going to torture them

all right mean if they arrested them but

they don't have evidence that they were

involved it it sounds like they're just

grabbing everybody who would know

anything and then they're just going to

torture them

all can Iran really get away with

torturing two dozen of their own people

of which I would guess no more than one

of them might have been

involved I it feels like that's kind of

a big risk for the the leader because if

you're in the military and you just

found out that two dozen people got

scooped up for

interrogation and you know for sure that

there couldn't be more than one of those

people who knew anything about

this You' feel pretty mad at your

leadership for treating you like you

Expendable I don't know if I could ever

get over that if I saw my beloved

leaders in the military you know people

I respected get scooped up when I knew

for sure they were not involved in this

because they just wouldn't be I don't

know that I could ever fight for that

country

again if they ever wanted to so Iran has

more problems than I've seen anybody

ever have a problem I don't know I don't

know how they're going to navigate this

well let's see um let's talk about

politics is anybody amazed that the top

two Democrats that the entire Democratic

party could put together the top two now

I'm not talking about the VP yet I'm

talking about uh Biden and then Harris

the top two what is the one thing they

both have in common this unusual for a

national

politician nobody thinks they can answer

a

question just hold that in your

mind the the two best thing people that

the Democrats could field Biden and

Harris nobody on either side not a

Democrat not a republican believes

they're capable of standing in front of

other people and answering basic

questions about their profession and

what's going

on how did we get here

yeah this is a great lesson on you can

get used to anything as long as it

happens a little bit slowly we just got

used to it how in the world how in the

world do the Democrats put up with

having their two best people unable to

talk in

public literally the most salian part of

the

job and we're just like we're just going

on so today after I'll say this I'll say

the two best Democrats one of them

likely to be the next president and they

can't talk in

public you could almost throw a dart

into a crowd and guess somebody who

could answer a question in public I mean

you have a good good shot at

it anyway so uh that's amazing but uh

there was apparently some kind of

accidental leak out of the Philadelphia

mayor's office some staffer that uh

released a video that would suggest that

the Democrats already know that they're

going to be choosing Josh Shapiro the

governor of

Pennsylvania for their VP candidate so I

think we're got all acting like that's a

done deal today even though it's not

official but we're going to talk about

it like it is and let's talk about the

fake news first how many of you believe

that Josh

Shapiro once served in the IDF

volunteered and then served in the IDF

that would be the Israeli Defense Force

the military in Israel how many believe

that's true because social media said it

was

true how many of you believe that's

actually a real

thing it's not a real

thing all right let me say it so so that

you don't embarrass yourself because a

lot of people in the right are falling

for this pretty

hard here's what was true in high school

his high school had some kind of a

program where they had to volunteer for

something so he and some other students

volunteered remember this is high school

these these are just kids uh volunteered

to uh or was it College uh volunteered

to go to uh Israel and they worked on a

Kuts or something but part of it is they

volunteered to do some inter like work

for the IDF they weren't in the

IDF they were like unpaid interns

sweeping sidewalks and you know doing

stuff like that so he wasn't carrying a

gun he wasn't going to war for the IDF

he wasn't a member of the IDF he was a

student who was having an experience in

another country that included some you

know some stuff that was unimportant and

student likee for a military force now

should you be comfortable with that just

because I said well he didn't you know

he didn't actually pledge his allegiance

to another country it's just it was just

a student

experience are you uncomfortable with

that to know there somebody who had a

substantial in his in his youth he had a

substantial experience with another

country that's an ally of the United

States how many of you have a problem

with

that because I think voters will that

they will hear the story and they'll

believe he had joined the military you

know probably probably a third of

conservatives will now forever believe

he fought in the Israeli

military probably a third and will never

be talked out of it because that's how

the fake news works it's pretty

sticky

um now what's interesting of course is

that Shapiro is Jewish and therefore the

question will be which party is more

anti-semitic so will there be more uh

Republicans who are on the extreme side

saying oh no that's one more reason we

can't vote for them well that shouldn't

make any difference because nobody I

don't think any Republicans would vote

for KL Harris because you picked a

Jewish vice president so that's probably

zero impact on the Republican side and I

don't think the Republicans would

necessarily well I just don't think the

Republicans will vote differently

because this in any way but we all are

asking the question hey aren't there a

lot of uh progressives over in the

Democrat Party who are not so pro-israel

at the moment maybe a little bit more

Pro Palestinian maybe Michigan maybe the

squad and the answer is yeah that's

probably going to be an issue

um but it depends how he talks about the

situation too you know I think what he

says today will be more important than

whatever he said in the past um and and

let me say this I think it's important

to know what the candidates thought in

the past you know it's important I think

to know that Trump was once a

Democrat I think that's important I

think it's important to know if uh KL

Harris used to have far more left

leaning opinions but maybe she's been

talked into something more Centrist to

get elected I I think we need to know

about the past but I I firmly believe

that if you can defend why you changed

your mind we should allow that I like

people who can change their

minds right that's not a negative it

used to be I remember Democrat or the

uh who was it I think mostly the

Republicans would complain about the

other candidate

flip-flopping you remember that used to

be the thing you're a

flip-flopper and I used to say you mean

somebody updated their thinking with new

information why are we mad at

that I want the person who can update

their thinking with new information and

we've seen it happen I want to know I've

seen it I don't want somebody to go into

office and say I have the same opinions

I had when I was 20 that would scare the

out of me I need somebody who is

mentally flexible and capable of

changing their opinion so I think it's

important to know that kamla

had some instincts that were left

leaning and she might bring that into

the office but uh if she could defend

her new

opinions then I would feel differently

about it for example if somebody said

well I used to think um Universal

healthc care like one Single Payer was

the only way to go but now I think it

would be impractical because the country

really wants Private health insurance

too and uh there's no way you could get

there anyway so now I think I'll just

you know want to lower prices for

healthcare so you could you could

imagine her explaining it in a way where

you'd say oh well if you can make the

argument that suggests that you

understand the argument for that new

opinion so look look for ability to

defend the current opinion that would be

far more

important all right

so we we're going to be talking almost

Non-Stop about anti-Semitism just

because she Peru is in the race we'll

see how that goes but again most people

don't vote for anybody who's the vice

president anyway so he's in favor of a

two country solution in Israel he thinks

Netanyahu is the worst leader

ever

um well there you

go now I think uh there's going to be a

lot of talk about his what the critics

will say some kind of split loyalty

which I don't see in

evidence but that'll be part of the

story people will suspect he's got split

Allegiance and again there's no evidence

of that um it's not illegal to visit

another country and have an

experience all

right so let's talk about how clean the

elections will be coming

up so as you're all aware in 2020 there

were great number of people who

questioned the election whether it was

fair but we've had four years since then

so thank God all the problems have been

fixed

what what nothing's

different well let's do a little rundown

of what we know about the coming

election number one attorney generals

from Virginia and Missouri and

Wyoming are going to look into act blue

that's a big fundraiser raing entity for

the

Democrats that uh according to OMG and

O'Keefe James O'Keefe and his

investigation according to them they've

been laundering large donations from God

knows

where maybe a foreign country we don't

even know um through the the names of

elderly who don't know their names are

being used because you can't give big

dollar amounts you know there's limits

but you can say oh a million people

donated a little bit each but they're

fake fake uh donors they're real people

they're just elderly people who are

never going to check and nobody will

ever know that they didn't really

donate so the evidence seems pretty

strong there something sketchy is going

there so one of the biggest sources of

money for the Democrats might be

fake but hey that's just you know one

element of an election is the funding so

just because the funding might be

fake that doesn't mean anything else is

fake people I don't want you to get all

crazy about doubting things just because

the funding for the Democrats is

probably

fraudulent and we do expect that some of

the largest donors are also blackmailed

so I wouldn't believe anything about the

funding

sources uh but hey that's just one part

of an election I mean it does affect it

so it does seem that crime would be

already affecting the outcome but

remember there are lots more elements to

an election so it's not all about the

funding uh there's also the

media see MSNBC says uh it's a life or

death Choice um if you pick Trump so

somebody named uh Tara setm said in

MSNBC and I quote Women Voters are

looking at this election as a life or

death Choice the binary choice is

democracy or Trump and for women it's

our lives or

Trump okay so all right so the media is

totally

fixed and they're just going to give you

scary stories about Trump that are all

just made up but people I want you to

relax a little bit because I know you're

thinking oh wait so the funding is

totally

illegitimate and the media which is the

only source of news for the Democrats is

also completely fake propaganda well

that's true that seems to be true but

people don't lose hope because the money

in politics and the media are just two

variables that's just two variables

there's a lot more that goes into voting

than just the money and the media okay

it might be 60% of it but there's still

there's still more

let's see over on oan the network uh

they had election fraud researcher in

former California lawmaker Steve Baldwin

and he''s been looking into uh the

Georgia voter roles this these are the

people who are registered to vote in

Georgia here are some things he claims

to have found 179,000 voters with

incomplete addresses that would be like

missing apartment unit or Suite numbers

which be a little suspicious

but hey that's just you know one

variable uh also 115,000 voters used

invalid mailing address oh H 114,000

that's like way more than the number of

people that determine the election in

that state

huh and then there are 79,000 people who

somehow managed to register on a Federal

holiday and the question would be

how'd you do

that I don't know maybe there's some

kind of time delay on that or

something and uh 69,000 voters

permanently moved on state but still

remain on the

roles uh

really okay well I don't have

verification that all of these things

are true they're just a whole bunch of

claims that the voter roles are so

polluted that it would be somewhat

trivially easy for a bad actor to be

collecting all these ballots and getting

people to vote who should not be voting

and of course they would never be caught

because it wouldn't be one big Scandal

it would just be a bunch of individual

voters who yeah maybe they shouldn't

have voted but it's not like one big

problem it's just a whole bunch of

individual little things you know you

could ignore the little things can't you

all right so we don't have voter

roles and the media is rigged

and the funding is

rigged but at least we have law

enforcement to make sure that

everything's running fine all right

here's a new story do you know cisa cisa

where is it cisa cisa and the

FBI uh they they've got a warning on

Election data whoa listen to this

apparently they have some information

that suggests something's coming they

say uh they they did a public service

now an ment how how useful this is to

aware to raise awareness there might be

a denial of service attack on Election

infrastructure oh that sounds bad that

could hinder access to election

information well that sounds

bad hackers could hinder our access to

election

information oh but it's okay it's okay

they say it would not impact the

security or Integrity of the election

process oh so the voting would be fine

the only problem would be if you tried

to find out how people

voted after the fact you know sort of

like auditing or something like

that

huh so it's looking exactly like they're

they're warning us that they're not

going to let us audit the

election that's what I see and they're

going to blame it on a

hacker h

so all right so maybe the FBI and cesa

are actually malign actors because they

apparently are preparing to lie to us

later and sure the election voter roles

are completely polluted which would

suggest it would be easy to rig and yes

the media is completely a propaganda

outfit and certainly the funding

is some kind of moneya laundering

operation

so but anyway those are just a few

things just just a few things but there

are lots of other elements to election

for example uh back in 2019 then Senator

Harris according to Fox News um talked

about the sizable contributions in swing

states of having all these illegal

immigrants oh so she admitted in 2019

that the plan was to bring in illegal

immigrants to change the voting in the

swing

States okay so we have illegal

immigration to change the swing straight

votes we've got the FBI saying there's

going to be some kind of fake attack

that will allow us not to audit the

elections the voter roles seem to be

rigged in Georgia and the funding is

fake

and the media is full of

propaganda Now That's What I Call

democracy

people yeah and you know what you don't

want you don't want Trump to come in

here and steal your democracy am my

right I mean look how good things are

set up everything looks perfectly good

to me the only thing that could go wrong

with this magnificent system we have is

if somebody like Trump comes in and

steals your

democracy and by the way the Democrats

are very clear about how he's going to

do it you know that right they're very

clear about how Trump will steal your

democracy should I tell you what you

don't know it's a very clear

plan he's

uh change the subject

no there is no plan to steal your

democracy well but least the one thing

we can count on is that the people who

are protecting our candidates are doing

their very best and you're getting a

really good safe Secret Service

situation according to Breitbart News

there was a rasmuson poll that said 41%

of Voters believe Federal officials were

involved in the Trump assassination

attempt okay so the credibility of our

government is so low that 41% of the

public thinks the Government tried to

murder

Trump

so but don't worry there are only a few

things that look like they're a little

sketchy the voter roles the propaganda

from the media the fake funding the FBI

warning us that they're going to hide

the audit

information the fact that they're

bringing in people specifically and

directly to alter the swing state

populations and the fact that 41%

believe that the government literally

tried to kill one of the

candidates you know what's looking like

a beacon of democracy

today

Venezuela do you think Venezuela had

this many problems

s now I don't suspect that the Venezuela

vote was

real but did they have this many

problems I'm not sure they did did

anybody try to murder one of their

candidates I don't recall

that well if you put it all together my

current prediction is that we won't have

an election this year we will have

people voting there will be an election

day

and people will vote and votes will be

counted when it's done whichever side

lost will say that was no election that

was a sham and the results must be

thrown out uh and here's my fake slative

electors and everything else I don't

think our current system gives us any

chance of an election result that the

country

accepts would you disagree with that our

current setup is so sketchy and so

really non-credible the whole system is

has no credibility at all that if your

side loses you're going to think it was

cheating and you'll be right I think

you'd be

right and by the way that probably works

both ways you know if somehow the

Republicans have figured out some clever

but legal way to game the

system what do you think Democrats are

going to say the they're going to say

they're going to say that Hitler just

took over and they're going to do

everything they can to take Trump out of

office they're going to impeach them on

day one if they can if they have the

votes um and they're going to be

marching in the streets and the cities

will

burn the cities are going to burn if

Trump wins I mean I think that's

guaranteed and not because of trump

because the bad guys want power so

they're going to make it look like the

citizens can't live with this president

and it won't be real it'll be fake like

BLM and antifa it'll just be funded by

the usual people and then of course

there'll be another Charlottesville

March right away and everybody will be

Fooled Again into thinking that was

organic it

wasn't whatever it was it definitely

wasn't

organic

anyway

um uh so Trump has agreed to debate K

Harris on September

4th I do think the Harris has a

reasonably good chance of doing well in

the debate and the only reason I say it

is that there's no back and forth so she

will be asked a question and then

Trump's microphone will be muted I

suppose and then she will just read from

her little you know or she'll have a

memorized answer to every topic and then

she'll just do her memorized answer and

you'll say oh that sounded pretty good

that was coherent and it'll just be

memorized and then they'll go to Trump

and he'll make some terrible

accusation and then she won't

necessarily respond to it

directly she will also um she'll just

say what she says about the topic and

then when it's done the media will say

my God that was a masterful you know I

don't know why people said she's not

good at this she's the greatest debater

she got she had her prosecutor hat on

and the media will say that she won in a

landslide even if she

didn't so I I think her odds are doing

well are pretty high but there's also a

good chance that she gets derailed by

something that happens and you know

can't answer a question so we still want

to see her sit down for a real interview

with a real reporter I don't think it's

going to happen I think she's going to

get the George Stephanopoulos

treatment where she probably knows the

questions I I don't know that that's

true but you kind of suspect she might

know the questions so she just goes into

a friendly interview with the answers

prepared and they just come right out by

the way did you hear hear her uh her

phone call with her

supporters where she was talking about I

guess receiving enough support to be the

nominee and she does this phone call and

she reads

it can you believe that she did a phone

call where she read a speech she read a

speech into a phone call

now some of it of course you would

expect to be you know prepared but

wouldn't you expect a whole bunch of

extemporaneous

comments and then maybe she'd say oh and

I just want to read this little

statement so we're all clear apparently

she couldn't do that do you think Trump

would have just read a statement not a

chance he would have talked for 10

minutes and then he would say if he had

time left oh let me read the statement

completely different level of

communication ability completely

different

um so the hill says that Trump risks

losing more black voters with this

Harris identity attacks you know the

question about whether she's black or is

she indian-american or both and I think

this is propaganda from the hill Trump

Lo RIS losing more black

voters here's what I wonder do you think

that the

black men and the black women feel the

same about this because I'll bet not and

and I think that by hiding the fact that

the black men and the black women may be

diverging in terms of trump support I

think they're hiding that I think

they're hiding the ball because the big

story is men versus women and the media

they don't want to say it directly

because they're going to lose all their

men in the Democrat Party at least the

ones that still has some

testosterone

anyway

um so Elon Musk revealed on his Lex

Friedman interview that he talked to

Trump about creating a government

efficiency commission to make the

government efficient and that he would

actually be interested in being on it

now that doesn't mean it'll

happen but it's a hell of an idea do you

know who did that first a government

Commission on making the government more

efficient Al Gore so when Al Gore was

vice president his job was to

essentially automate the government and

make it so that you could just go online

and get your your work done and over

time we've seen that the federal

government has moved a lot of stuff

online it is more efficient in that way

anyway but a lot of work to do on that

so that would be fun

um so open AI who makes chat gbt says

the government's going to see their new

version Chad G pt5 before anyone

else hold that in your mind so open

AI has an association or arrangement

with the government where their new

version and this one is you know rumored

to be super smart compared to the

current one um that the government has

to see a her first why do you suppose

that

is do you there is let me say it

again no government can survive an

honest news environment that's why there

are no honest news

environments the no government

Democratic no government dictator none

if if the if the news started telling

the truth it'd be hard to stay in power

uh hard to win an election so you really

need at least some part of the news to

be

completely you know illegitimate

otherwise you can't stay in

power so when you see that the AI which

will be in the future will be our only

source of information everything you

know in the future will be talking to AI

you're not going to Google search for

stuff if AI can just do it for you

so I think the government needs to

control ai's

answers and it needs to make sure the AI

will brainwash you the way you have been

brainwashed so far and they got to make

sure that it doesn't tell you the truth

because no Government Can can handle the

truth in the long

run so I think this is exactly what it

looks like it's the government forcing

open AI to add lies to their

algorithm otherwise they won't be

allowed to

operate I don't know it can't really go

any other way by the way so if you're

thinking to yourself well that's too far

Scott it can't actually go any other way

the government cannot

survive guarantee they can't survive if

AI is just honest and tell us the truth

that that's the reason that all of your

searches are so obviously you know

brainwashing

propaganda government can't survive with

the

truth um Warren Buffett's Brookshire

hathway apparently is sold a bunch of

its

Apple stuff in the second quarter now I

also sold much of my Apple steak in the

second quarter I don't know if their

reason is the same as mine but to me

Apple went from kind of a monopoly that

nobody could touch to something closer

to a jump ball because of AI so Apple

still is not nailing their AI strategy

they might

I mean if you had to bet I'd be more

likely to bet they do than don't but at

the

moment um they look weak and I would

guess that some

upstart could come up with a phone that

uses AI as its you know base mechanism

and just put them in a

business so I I don't give uh stock

advice so I'm not telling you to sell

your Apple if I had held mine I would

have made a lot more money money because

it's much higher than when I sold it so

if you take my advice on individual

companies to to invest in you will be

taking bad advice I guarantee you I'm

bad at this I want everybody hear that

just in case you think I'm secretly

giving you advice I'm not because I'm

bad at

it right everybody's bad at individual

companies all

right well Journal had a big article on

Robbie

Starbuck and how he's been successful in

getting John Deere to scrap its Dei

program or at least deemphasize it and

uh I guess he's going to go after some

other companies and what I find

important about the story is not just

the John Deere part but what I find

important is that the counterforce to

Dei is now legitimate enough that they

can do it in public and the Wall Street

Journal can write a

what I think is a complimentary feature

piece so just imagine that somebody is

public as an anti- Dei person and the

news is treating you as notable positive

influence in the world so that's pretty

important so that's good and that ladies

and gentlemen is all that's happening

today I'm expecting some more big news

to come over the weekend

maybe Iran maybe something

else um yeah right now as soon as uh

your Apple can directly access both your

Apple and your Amazon Digital devices

they don't access AI which is just crazy

I mean it already seems just hard to

understand really but apparently Amazon

will you'll be able to talk to it with

AI which will be life changing for me

because all day long I talk to my

digital devices I'm always asking them

about the the weather and the stock

market and read the local news and uh

but you know it gets so many things

wrong that it's a pain in the ass so as

soon as it can actually have a

conversation with me I don't know if

I'll ever leave the house

again all

right the uh Kyle writtenhouse

controversy no interest at

all I will note that there's a Kyle

writtenhouse

controversy at one point he said he

wasn't going to support Trump some

people saying he changed his mind

something about the Second

Amendment he's one young guy it doesn't

matter a bit who who he's in favor of

nobody's taking what is he in his early

20s nobody's taking the the advice or

the guidance or the word of somebody

who's in his early

20s that's just his opinion why do we

care so I think we should care less uh

we should insult him less we should

compliment him less we should just care

less he his opinion is not better than

yours it's not more important than yours

so he's just a person with an opinion no

interest at

all now here's another thing I'm

watching which is the number of

Presidential polls that leave out the

third

parties why do we ever have a poll that

leaves out RFK Jr how does that make

sense well how does it make sense to

leave out the third

party because you know they're going to

be there right that I don't think

there's any chance that RFK Jr won't be

on

the on the at least on the ballot in a

lot of places if not all of them

all right so it's yeah so I think you're

going to see rigged polls rigged funding

rigged media rigged voter polls rigged

uh immigration

resettlement and maybe a rigged auditing

process after the fact you know what you

still haven't seen you've still never

seen an expert come on any show to

explain uh the holes in the system if

there are any

I would love to see Lex Friedman

or Joe

Rogan or Jordan

Peterson maybe uh Ben Shapiro or

somebody so somebody who really knows

that ask some questions you know not

just your average talking head they're

not good enough you need somebody extra

smart so you need a a Lex or you need a

you know you need somebody smart and

here are the type of questions you

should ask

if somebody filled down a ballot and

they were not a citizen they mailed it

in how would you catch

it how how carefully do you check the

signatures what percentage of people who

have the wrong address are people who

you should let vote because they just

wrote down the address wrong you

wouldn't want to deny them versus it's

an obvious signal that these are not

real people when the address is

wrong how do you how do you do that if

somebody wanted to run the same ballots

through the system twice how would you

catch it so in other words you should

have a whole bunch of questions that are

Loosely based on things that people have

been allegedly caught for Cheating in

the past so you wouldn't have to make

something up you could just say all

right suppose a state

actor uh hacked the

machines how would you catch them and

then you'd hear something like oh you

know we'd easily catch that and I say no

no a state actor you don't think a state

actor could get in there and change some

results and get out without getting

caught a state actor like the the best

hackers from you know a major

industrialized

country it can't be that

hard the hackers are into every other

system the the all caps people Scott is

dead effing wrong

again do you notice that the people who

are the most angry will never say what

it is that I got

wrong it's fairly consistent your anger

seems to be about me and not any of my

opinions how do I know because you would

say what it was I got wrong if that were

real but no you're just here to yell in

all caps we got everything wrong he

needs to study up on

topic but it must it must be nice to be

drunk and pathetic at this time of the

day how many of you are uh drunk already

I think the all caps people are just

always

drunk do do you think anybody writes an

all caps message unless they're

drunk seems like a

guarantee all right the anti

anti-Semitism is broiling in the

comments just broiling

today um you realize that the the

Shapiro nomination could be a

trap and the trap could be to get all of

the

anti-semitic uh people on the right to

complain about him being

Jewish that would be one way for the

Democrats to win to trick the the

conservatives

into saying he can't be a good vice

president because he visited Israel that

time that would be a good way to give

away the election and it looks like

you're all going to fall for that trap

not all of you but probably you know

some huge percentage of conservatives

going to fall right into that

trap all right that's all I got for you

today I'm going to try to talk to the

locals people privately but thanks for

joining on X and YouTube and Rumble and

if this works I will be going private

just with local supporters in 5

seconds
