Episode 2613 CWSA 09/30/24

it will probably amaz and Delight you that's the plan anyway amaz and Delight you good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams by the way my new book um it's well it's an updated book wind bigley second edition available now but only in hard cover and you can see it now up on the screen if you get the blue one the one that's got the blue background the one you can see that's the updated one if you go to Amazon you'll have trouble finding it Amazon has hidden it so Amazon is not allowing the uh the Kindle version or the soft cover we couldn't even get them improved and we can't can't even figure out why they're not approved we can't get any Amazon so is it a big coincidence that the book that says that Trump is good at his job is the one that they can't get published no probably not probably not a coincidence so you're going to have to look extra hard if you want to see what's real and what's true and thwart Amazon so that's what the the book is it's a wind biggly but look for the one with the blue background that's the updated one the other ones I don't get money for by the way if you buy the the one with the old one with the black background I don't get anything I get zero money from that so please don't buy the one with the black background all right let's go back to a better picture of me there we go anyway if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their shiny tiny human brains all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tanker gelstein a canteen jugg or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous Z and it happens now go delightful no there is no audio book yet for wi bigley um everything that I'm doing has been stopped by one kind of platform or another uh it's always a technical problem yeah there's a technical problem no matter what I do there's a technical problem that applies to my material but not other people's and no I don't think it's a coincidence so if you want any of my materials you're going to have to work for it and if you want the Dilbert calendar page a day calendar which got cancelled for last year but it's back made in America uh the only place you can find it is go to dilbert.com if you go to dilbert.com it'll have the link to uh to buy it you won't be able to find it anywhere else in the world it's not going to be on Amazon anyway did you know that the CEO of Netflix endorsed kamla Harris which apparently is setting off a wave of cancellations which makes me ask the following question why would the CEO of a major consumer company um endorse the candidate knowing it would be devastating for the shareholders why would you do that th doesn't it seem like that's a violation of your fiduciary responsibilities if I invest in a company and they come out and endorse a candidate and make 50% of their base at them I'm not going to be too happy with that CEO now nothing to do with the politics of it why would you as a CEO do something so freaking stupid I mean that's just stupid is it so how do you explain it well I've got a suggestion one way to explain it I don't know if this is the way but we're being conspiratorial today you ready do you remember that uh in the early earlier part of the last century that the CIA was definitely talking to Hollywood and making sure that the movies and the TVs were compatible with the propaganda and brainwashing that the government government wanted to do to the citizens needed to make us patriotic and want to join the military and think that America is the best and all that stuff so we know that there's a long history of the CIA and the government uh meddling with our major media entities what is our major media entity for movies you watch at home Netflix Netflix do you think that Netflix is completely independent and has no connection to dark parts of the government which tell it what it can and cannot promote and which movies they should float to the top and which one should get the most exposure when it's recommended to people well I don't know but if the CIA is doing all those other things and they're leaving Netflix alone that would be more of a story Netflix is the obvious place that the CIA should put their lever because it's the big movie out that so if you were going to do if you were going to do any kind of control over how people think you'd go for that one first which suggests that the founder may have a cozy relationship with somebody within the government and may have more at stake than just the stock price now I have no information whatsoever to imagine that anybody at Netflix is working with anybody in the government for any reason other than making money for their shareholders but when you see the CEO do something that's so plainly and obviously bad for the stock price you must ask the following question why why would you have a job that is specifically to make your stock price do well and then do something that's so obviously terrible for it I mean really obviously and he would know it I mean it's not like is I'm not saying I'm smarter than him and therefore if he were smarter he would have known that this recommendation would no everybody knows it 100% of everybody in the world knew that that would cost them a big amount of money but he did it anyway now I guess he's a Founder so he doesn't have to worry about being replaced by the board but if he hadn't been a Founder I would think the board should replace you if you do something that Reckless but nope there's probably more to this story and we don't know what it is Economist markandi who uh is a fairly high-profile Economist um I don't know if you've heard his name but if you're a nerd like me I've heard his name and he had something to say about our current economy and he's an expert all right so here's an expert Economist you can trust an expert Economist can you he's using data people he's going to use data and I'm going to tell you the data you believe data don't you come on come on on you don't believe data and you don't believe experts I I you're just so cynical now you're so cynical all right I'm going to read you what the expert Economist said and then I want each of you who are not experts you are not well some of you actually are economists but those of you who are not economists I want you want you to see if you can find out what's wrong with his analysis now remember you're not an expert and he is so this will be a tough challenge see if you can find the tiny small little tiny almost imperceptible problem with his analysis okay you ready Mark xandi says I've hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic but with last week's big GDP revisions there is no denying it this is among the best performing economies in my 35 plus years as an economist e now he he hasn't he hasn't uh Justified his opinion yet but wait for it because it's based on data and I think the data is the accepted data so listen to this he said economic growth is Rip roaring with real GDP up 3% over the past year unemployment is low at near 4% consistent with full employment that's an economics term for saying that if it were less than it is you know if if employment were any better it would cause inflation so that's how they say that they call it full employment uh so that would be great um inflation is fast closing in on fed's 2% Target grocery prices rents and gas place prices are flat to down over the past year now remember he's not making the mistake of saying that prices are down right he's an economist he's not a politician politicians say stuff like oh prices are down no they're not they're way up inflation is not as bad as it used to be it's just not but the you know the base price is still way higher than it should be so he's smart enough to know that you have to say it the right way so he's saying it the right way and then he says households Financial Obligations are light and set to get lighter really household Financial Obligations are light I didn't know that but he's probably right about that um oh with the FED cutting rates okay so that's going to help interest rates will go down house prices have never been higher well okay that's good if you own a house and most home owners have more equity in their homes than ever corporate profits are robust and the stock market is hitting a record high in seemingly daily basis and he says uh you know of course there are some other things all right so what is the problem with his analysis do you see anything is there anything you left out did you see any any very variable that you think might matter that's left out the national debt the the national debt is on an unambiguous path toward complete destruction of the United States I feel like that should be mentioned there's not a single thing that he mentioned that's going well that would be going well if we hadn't borrowed and spent more than we have all of those things he says are good are based on the fact that we have a existential Doom cloud like we've never seen $ 36 trillion do worth of debt and we don't have any way of paying it back do do you know how I can make you all rich I can make you all rich right now I'll give you all a $10 million loan that you never have to pay back hey I I just fixed everything I just made everybody Rich look at me give me a give me some kind of Nobel prize in economics for that yeah if you ignore debt that is both crushing and unsolvable things look great things look great now how about the fact that young people can't afford homes and uh they'll all be replaced by robots pretty soon well we got problems all right so it's a political season so you can tell who he backs politically with without much effort uh I don't know anything about his political opinion but based on his economic opinion leaving out the debt I'm gonna say he might be a Democrat might be anyway um do you this this next story is weird all right I'm going to get to all the big stories but I like to start with the weird ones um how many of you remember that the other day it was only a few days ago I speculated that playing the game Tetris specifically specifically Tetris would be good for your mental health does anybody remember me saying that just a few days ago that the game Tetris would be good for your mental health I think you remember right well a few days later there's this story that's just it's just so weird it I feel like the simulation must be the simulation must be it must be real right so here's a story I see today uh from upella University wherever that is a single treatment session including the video game Tetris reduces PTSD symptoms they actually tested it they tested PTSD for people paying Tetris now remember what my what my hypoth hthis was the hypothesis was that our brains like um things that will you know take our mind off of our troubles but also that we're accomplishing things so every time you you mentally twist one of those little Tetris blocks in your mind so it fits together with the other blocks you're accomplishing a thing and you're it requires some focus in a part of your brain remember I talked about shelf space Yeah the more minutes of your day you spend thinking about not bad things the better your mental health so if you make somebody focus on the the visual part of their brain you have to use the visual part of your brain to do the tatris because you're you're moving things in your mind before you make them real that's just a different part of your brain and that doesn't involve your memory right your memory is one that's giving you the PTSD oh that thought that thought that intrusive thought that intrusive thought well every single minute you and not doing that breaks the Habit PTSD and OCD and those recurring thought ones the ones where you can't get the thought on your head that's a habit the only thing you need to do to break a habit is something else that's the solution you just have to find something else the more time you spend doing the something else the less of a habit it becomes so sure enough and apparently not only does it work while you're doing it here here's the real payoff it's a lasting benefit your PTSD symptoms stay reduced after you've played for a little while it stays that way not just the day but like years you know presumably so what are the what are the odds that I would tell you speculatively that Tetris would solve your mental health and then within a few days there would be a story about Tetris doing exactly what I said it would do now I'm not going to brag about being smart although I'm pretty smart I think I got this one right because of talent stack meaning that I'm a trained hypnotist and so I really pay attention to the brain as a machine so when I think of the brain I don't think of magic and Free Will and your soul and things I don't even think are real I think of it as a machine what what did do the most of did it spend most of its uh operating Cycles doing this or did it spend most of its operating Cycles doing this other thing because you can tell like a machine what the difference would be depending on what part of the machine you're stressing so that's the way I see it as a hypnotist I see it as a machine certain parts are stressed certain parts are used and then you can just kind of figure out what would happen if you do a certain change well there's a the hurricane disasters is looking pretty bad five states in the uh in the East the US uh five states got hit pretty hard millions are without power still uh people are missing presume dead we don't know the numbers yet and um there's a lot of pressure on FEMA which people say are not getting it done but uh it was pointed out today that FEMA's number one goal their number one goal is to make sure that when there's a disaster uh they save as many lives and as much property as they can that's their number one goal number one goal for FEMA oh wait I read that wrong no their number one goal that's not that's not their number one goal their number one goal is quote instill Equity as a foundation of Emergency Management so more of a Dei thing that's their number one goal so if you're going to judge FEMA because a bunch of people died or they didn't do enough I don't think that's fair because you'd be judging them against a standard which is not their standard their standard is how much did they support equity and Dei and I think they did a good job on that so all of you complainers who are saying oh oh but the lights are off and we don't have food and people are drowning and we can't find them and there's not enough resources stop whining they got the equity just right and and that was their number one priority so so anyway um you might know somebody who predicted that if Dei became a top priority no with no uh con let's see with h nothing to do with anybody's genes or culture or gender or anything like that it is a system which on paper should destroy the country in other words if you look at it like a machine you say all right suppose the country is a machine and it has these various moving Parts what would happen if you threw a bunch of gravel into it well if you're not a idiot you'd know that putting gravel into a machine is a really bad idea so in this case the gravel they're throwing in their fuma machine is Dei I love the idea of having our big organizations represent the actual public I love that I do think that are big important industries and governments should they should as you know in an Ideal World should represent the people who live here should look a little bit like the public but if you force it it's gravel in the machine and there's just no way around that so we should predictably see a failure in all of our major institutions and we should see the failure happening first in the government because the government is pushing the hardest and been doing it the longest so sure enough FEMA's getting a lot of bad attention by the way I don't know that FEMA's doing a bad job uh I'm just saying that the critics are saying that I feel like FEMA's one of those agencies that will never seem like it's doing enough because if you're in an emergency if you're the person who's in the emergency you never really think they're doing enough so I'm not entirely sure they're failing but the criticisms are out there um well it turns out that there's a proposed lawsuit against the Secret Service um because of their Dei goals apparently they were trying to reach 30% female Workforce there is allegedly a nonprofit uh that's defending women's issues so it's a weird entity to be doing this but a some nonprofit uh is going to Pur the Secret Service for what it alleges is quote arbitrary diversity equality and inclusion that harms female employees why does that harm female employees so it sounds like some right leaning entity is trying to trying to do the best they can but make it look a little confusing for their own influence reasons um so so whether or not this lawsuit is effective we won't don't know but we do know that uh there are criticisms of the Secret Service especially that handling the uh the Trump situations and uh some have said that Dei is directly responsible for that incompetence we don't know that for sure but on paper if you took the Secret Service and you thought of it as a machine and then you said to yourself I wonder what would happen if I threw a bunch of gravel into this machine called the Secret Service what do you think I'm going to say next it's exactly what it should be these are the most predictable outcomes in the world if the Dei stuff had nothing to do with the uh the failure of the Trump protection which is possible in the same way that FEMA might be operating really well you know and maybe the critics are going overboard don't know but I can tell you that whether or not these are real failures caused by Dei the system as it's designed is throwing travel into the machines and there's no way I can't destroy them whether it's happened yet that's still a question meanwhile KL Harris says she wants to appoint the first woman to run the Pentagon what do you think I'm going to say about that yes she wants to bring Dei to the Pentagon not only is she the Dei candidate because she is let's face it uh K Harris would not be the candidate if she were not a person of color and a woman we all know that and so she's the Dei commander-in-chief who is committed to use Dei to staff the military at the top so uh what do you think I'm going to say about uh the machine that's the military and throwing some gravel in the machine it's going to do exactly what you think it's going to do exactly what you think is going to do but on top of that there's something that's very different about the military compared to everything else and I need to say this as often as possible because if you don't understand this we're all dead like actually dead dead you know not hyperbole dead but the dead kind where you're not breathing kind it goes like this discrimination is immoral and ethical and unwise and it's not good for you in almost any domain you could think of so if it's employment discrimination don't do it bad for you bad for them bad for society uh if it's in your personal relationships don't be a fool you should at least be open to any any group having you know the love of your life come out of it if you're choosing friends it's hard to have friends at all if you can find any kind of friends don't close yourself off because of race and gender and stuff like that so for most of the things that are the common things that people do in the world discrimination should be drummed out of it and we should be trained not to be thinking like that and it's not good for anybody in most of those domains there is however one exception self-defense self-defense doesn't have any discrimination um variable if you're trying to protect yourself you can discriminate as much as you want the only requirement is whatever is in your own head nobody can tell you that's immoral nobody can tell you it's unethical nobody can tell you it's inappropriate you're just looking for what works because if you don't find what works you're dead that's what self-defense is so if you're going to discriminate in self-defense all that matters is did you do a good job of it did you discriminate well for example wouldn't it be great if people who have physical disabilities are not completely borrowed from the uh workplace yeah that's probably good because a lot of people have disabilities all kinds so making some accommodations for our citizens in the workplace it definitely has a cost I know why people complain about it when I own a small business I didn't like building a ramp and you having all these wheelchair things that literally nobody ever used but I also appreciate it I know where it's coming from I don't mind that expense to me that's it's it's an expense but to me that seems like where we want to be as a people you know not letting people go because they got a bad leg or something right but when it comes to protecting yourself you can discriminate all you want and I don't think that women should be in charge of Defense because I don't think they're good at it now there could be Exceptions there could be a a specific exception that I'd say okay all right tulsey gabard she's been in the military I've heard her talk okay you can be commander-in-chief fine um and you could come up with you know 10 more names pretty easily where you'd say okay yeah that that one individual definitely should be commander-in-chief but if you're starting with you're starting with they should be female you're into the DI Dei foret kind of situation now I'm no expert on the military but are there any women who have been in serious combat extended combat who would also be qualified to be you know leading military groups because I feel like you need to have been really really in the th of War to be a good General CU you need to know what doesn't work as as well as what works from the ground up so I think men should be in charge of the military because we're biologically suited for it I think women should take the lead on what the abortion laws are and while men certainly retain all their rights and certainly have a say about spending money the laws themselves are better suited for women to figure it out um just because it it keeps the country together you at least if women are on the same side of abortion and by the way women and men don't have that much different opinion on on the topic it's more like Republican versus Democrat so if you let the women work it out and just tell the men what they figured out and then we just go with it that would be the equivalent sort of the the the balancing for women I'm asking can you let the men do the defense you're really going to be better off now I'm not saying that every man who could be a general would do a better job than every woman who could be a general that's obviously not true but don't push it right let it happen naturally you know if if a if a Tulsi gyber gets the nomination for president someday then you'd say would she specifically be a good commander-in-chief probably yes probably yes but don't just push it and say we got to get a woman in there heading the military that's that's gravel in the machine all right California um according to Politico um passed the law to prevent the local governments from requiring ID for voting that's because there was one place in California Huntington Beach that wanted to require people to show photo ID at the polling places to vote and Governor Nome said no there's one thing we don't want in this state is that knowing that people who voted um are allowed to vote now can you come up with a second reason why this would be the law in California what's the second reason or or a reason give give me a reason um if you ask them they'll say well we don't want to um let's see uh discourage people from voting and uh um I think um yeah it would be disen franchising some people and are those even real reasons they don't even sound like real reasons it doesn't even sound like somebody's trying to do a good job of lying to you to me this is completely transparent we plan to cheat here's how we plan to do it we plan to have a bunch of uh you know people who can't vote who are not citizens we plan to have them vote anyway and then we're going to make sure it's too late to reverse vers it it's right in front of you there there's not the slightest doubt what the plan is it's right there right in front of you apparently there are 14 states that do not require voter ID at the polls let me guess let's see 14 States well we know one is California let's see I wonder what kind of States Florida is the no Florida they require ID see what other states so Texas would no Texas of course would require ID oh it's all the Democrat States yeah all the blue States um except one Illinois somebody saying now I don't know if it's all the blue States it's 14 so there might be one that's not blue but clearly the reason for it is fraud it's not like there's a second reason for this there is no second reason it's just fla fraud it's just fraud and it's right in front of you anyway so Trump said again Breitbart News is reporting that uh um he vows to prosecute Google at the maximum levels for election interference now election interference in this context is that they've allegedly rigged the search results so it says more good things about Harris toward the top and and it's harder to find good things about Trump now is it true of course it is yes it's very true it's 100% true it is election interference it is illegal I think I'm no lawyer but to me it looks like election interference and it looks intentional and it looks like it's transparent it looks like management has said it directly you know if you've seen the videos of the Google leaders all being sad when Trump won the first time and vowing it wouldn't happen again well what do you think that means of course it means that it's rigged of course it does now here's what's smart about Trump uh threatening him when when a Google employee whoever it is makes a change to the algorithm and they know it's making a change that's negative for Trump what do you think they think about that today probably not much of anything it's like oh yeah let's just tweak this it's a bad for that bad Trump guy it's good for Harris little tweak go back to work here's what they should be thinking if I change that am I going to go to jail that's what they should be thinking they should be thinking if I change this code just a little bit will I go to jail they should be thinking that because the things they're doing are just horrifically undemocratic and and yeah they should go to jail they should absolutely be in jail so if they're not thinking about that when they tweak something they need to start they need to start thinking what jail is going to be like you should picture it I'm sitting there in jail and I'm sitting there in jail and I'm still sitting there in jail because there's not much to do in jail except get abused I guess so very good messaging so the long shoreman are going to strike I think that's tonight or something um and I don't know what they're asking for but they better worry about robots because if I were a shipping company I'd certainly be looking at robots to do my long shoreman work eventually so they got that to worry about so I can see why they'd want to organize they've got a lot a lot of reasons to do that um I'm going to give you the most contrarian view you've ever heard you ready this strike which allegedly will be a big problem for the supply chain it will involve some kinds of foods maybe fruits coming from outside the company country uh it won't starve us you know we're not going to run out of food but maybe some specific kinds of foods and then materials that we need for prod products Etc so it's going to be really really inconvenient and we're not going to like it here's the contrary intake our supply roots and and Supply chains we learned during the pandemic were woefully terrible and we didn't really have backups and secondary ways to do things but we created a bunch because we had to when the supply chains got broken people you know quickly compensated I think we need to break the supply chains a few more times because if we don't break them in like serious ways they'll never be fixed in other words we'll never uh we'll never have a reason to build the startup that could be the alternative you know it wouldn't it be great if they did the strike but then immediately some startup pops up and says you know what we've got this Fleet of electric ships or whatever and we can do this at half the cost we just need a chance oh here's your chance so I don't have a completely negative feeling about the strike first of all I I'm Pro Union I think the union if they're not getting what they need and there's money to you know make them whole sure um but I but I do think that uh it could be good for the system just just to force some Alternatives um so that we're less less susceptible in the future that might be a little too optimistic but I'm feeling optimistic today Andrew huberman PhD says there's more data showing that cardio cardiovascular exercises improves your brain function in the hours that follow now apparently cardio does much better than just lifting or resistance straining in terms of your mental cognition now if you do too much it'll make you stupid so if you run to the point where you just you know you're done you're not going to be thinking too well either but if you do like a good cardio like a healthy level of cardio for whatever stage of life you're at apparently that has a lasting brain benefits um as somebody who does creative stuff for a living and I spend lots of hours doing it my biggest my biggest challenge always has been managing my energy and my mental state because you need to be kind of in your top 2% to do what I do you know if you're if you're operating at 95% just nothing happens you can't really be creative at a commercial level if you're operating at 95% just nothing happens yeah you got to get into that 99% of your own best before anything can happen so I've been playing with this variable of exercise excise and from my own anecdotal experience um doing resistance training makes me tired and doing some cardio if it doesn't go too bad allows me to really concentrate on work and get stuff done so anecdotally it feels right feels about right to me cardio but don't overdo it is good for your brain John Cary said we talked about this before but like I can't get it out of my mind he said this quote at some event our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer uh disinformation and of existence what we need is to win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that were free to be able to implement change Implement change to the First Amendment the freedom of speech H um the New York timer the new I'm sorry the New Yorker publication uh has a article in which the title is is it time to torch the Constitution quote some Scholars say that it's to blame for our political dysfunction and that we need to start over Okay so John car is questioning the First Amendment the New Yorker left leaning publication thinks it might be time to torch the com Constitution or at least we should talk about it and uh RFK Jr that recent podcast said that uh 37 hours after Harrison Biden were installed in the White House they open an illegal portal between the social media Giants and the FBI CIA CDC to begin rampant censorship so it appears that Democrats uh need or they say they need rampant um censorship in order to run the country otherwise it's going to be chaos now you've heard me say and I'm going to Triple down on it no country can survive Free Speech we''ve never had it we've never had it the way they controlled our free speech in the past is by brainwashing us so that when we thought we were speaking freely we were just mimicking what we've been brainwashed to say so you can have something that feels like free speech so long as you've been brainwashed to only say the things that are appropriate and so long as the entities that reported the news were controlled by the government so if you said something that wasn't part of the brainwashing well you didn't get on the news or if you did they mocked you as some kind of communist criminal and you should be ignored now once the government no no longer controls the news and social media is sort of brainwashing people more randomly as opposed to the government doing it now you got a problem because actual Free Speech where people are not brainwashed into their opinion but rather it comes to them through some some sense of some set of variables um that's dangerous stuff that's dangerous and no I don't think any country has ever survived that I think that people there there's always some other either commercial or embarrassment or shame there's always some Force to keep you from saying what you maybe think you should say so we' never really have free speech and I don't think we could survive it but we do need to get back to the illusion of it the illusion of free speech is important the actual free speech is less important now how much this matters depends on how bad your government is if your government is terrible than not having free speech is the disaster if your if your government is chugging along okay let's say a George Bush Senior kind of a world or you know Reagan second term kind of a world you don't really care too much people can say what they want we can argue about it things are going fine it's just when you've got a really bad government uh that's when the Free Speech going away is an existential risk and I would say that the Democrats collectively I don't know what's wrong like some say it's a Marxist thing I don't know but there's something terribly terribly broken in that the things that they're doing appear to be designed to destroy the country meaning that if I gave you a set of democrat policies and didn't tell you they're Democrat policies and I said instead there's a terrible entity that's trying to destroy the United States look at the things they're doing and if you looked at the things on their list you'd say oh wow they're pushing Dei yeah that's gravel in the machine that's obviously that can't be for the benefit of the country uh they're wait they're not they're not checking voter ID well that looks like it's designed for I don't know what but not for good elections oh they're trying to limit our Free Speech what you know almost everything that they're doing if you saw it on paper and it had not been identified as Democrat policy you would think it was a plan to destroy the United States I mean it's that blatantly obviously what the hell are you thinking situation anyway uh according to George it's an account on uh on X that you should follow um Austria just had an election and the uh I guess what is being called their far right they might not call it that just one and I don't think people were necessarily expecting it but the the side that one is anti-immigration um and they're for Mass deportation and their their model is Hungary with Victor Orban who's sort of on the same page with that stuff so and they're opposed to sanctions against Russia and they see Ukraine as a a NATO provoked all right and they're very angry oh okay that's according to a leftist Professor but he's probably not too far off um some say this is a sign of what's coming in the United States is it you would expect that there would be some natural push back and there is yeah there is I don't know if it's telling us what's going to happen in the United States but I'm putting Austria on my list of Escape countries if I ever have to leave the United States I'm going to say Austria hello hello can you take one more they're anti-immigration though so I don't know if I'll get in it's like the good news and the bad news hey the good news is there's a country that might survive the bad news is the reason they're going to survive is they don't let people like me into the country all right uh the new polls are coming out uh Trump's now ahead in Pennsylvania according to four different polls Atlas Intel Insider advantage rasmuson and fox uh those all flipped in the last couple of weeks last couple of weeks H we get getting closer to the election things are changing um MSNBC is reporting the Democrats are losing ground with latino voters I saw an Eric abante post on this also great follow on X um 40% of Hispanics said they'd vote for Trump now you might say but 40% that's not so good that's less than half but here's what it used to look like uh the Democrat Advantage um there in 2012 in 2012 the Democrats had a 44 point Advantage for Hispanic voters 44 point difference yeah that's huge but it went down a little bit by 2016 Trump had gotten that down I don't know if it's because of trump but it down to 38 38 is a big big difference in 2020 it fell again to 33 it's a big change but 33 is still a big big difference current polling 14 so the the advantage the Democrats had went from 44 38 33 and just cut by more than half and the closer they are to the the border the more pro- Republican they are now I don't know if that's because they're close to the Border uh or they're just in Republican area so maybe they just lean that way I don't know but uh there could be some surprises coming uh Steve Cortez Steve Cortez I don't know why I pronounced it wrong but Steve Cortez has a new fil Mount called Bad ombres now remember that's what uh Trump said there were some bad ombr coming across the border and then the Democrat said he's calling everybody a bad ombre no no he's saying that some of them are bad ombres so it's the name of uh his film Google it to figure out where it is Steve Cortez just search for bad ombr new video I recommend it I haven't seen it but I'll I'll watch it I just saw heard about it this morning well here's a little uh sleeper variable for the election let's see who saw this coming you know have you been wondering if the Lara Trump and the Republican organizers are doing a good job now we're hearing Scott Pressler doing an amazing job in Pennsylvania registering people we know that uh there going to be something like a 100,000 lawyers and observers for the election that sounds pretty serious so the these are clearly good things are happened I think Lara was behind supporting Scott presler so you're seeing you're seeing all these hints of smart effective things coming out of the Republicans well here's one I didn't know about turns out there's been an effort to organize churches so that the churches will help collect mailin ballots where it's legal now that would be called harvesting but it's not illegal everywhere it's legal to say can I can I help you take this to the mailbox so churches are organized and that could be a really a really big difference if the churches uh fully Embrace mail and voting and they start collecting it in the church and getting everybody to sit there and fill out their Ballot or whatever they're going to do I think this could be a sleeper variable because the the uh left leaning news is sort of it's invisible to them they're not really covering Republican Church Gatherings so I don't know it's too early to say because I don't know what numbers are involved but given that the swing states have you know small margins if you get the churches really organized it feels like that delivers votes more than most things right if if the church is collect itively doing something it seems like the church members are going to be really influenced by that so could be a big deal all right here's something funny I saw on X a an account called pachy Keenan I don't know if that's a real name or I don't know just a a name for Twitter but pachy Keenan talked about Harris wals and I'm just going to read it because the writing is so good but it also sort of nails um en Nails a feeling that i' had not been able to capture all right so pich Keenan says quote men are grossed out by kamla Tim because there's nothing to hook them the man in quotes on the ticket is a weird little troll like creep with bilateral limp wrists and the female is a sexlist vapid HR boss Who projects deep hatred of masculine men both couples seem like onic relationships at best and possibly one beard situation Trump Vance on the other hand are red-blooded hetero males with a healthy appreciation for biological women their wives are lovely and po it's a much more authentic relatable ticket and he and peachy says that Harris wals appeals to oddballs blitzed on mood enhancers and sterilized by long-term birth control and gender studies phds yeah that pretty much captured it and then I saw Jen saki was interviewing Doug mhof and she's been pushing this idea that uh wals and mhof are uh are the new masculinity so so she actually said to Doug emhof in an interview she said you reshaped the perception of masculinity let me just say this if you ever really want to get under my skin and give me an insult that will like really you know get to the get to my core typically I'm pretty you know thick skinned people insult me all day on social media I don't really think about it by the time I'm going to bed right sometimes I respond but it doesn't really doesn't really get to me but if you really really wanted to insult me like deeply deeply insult me here's what you should say Scott looks like you reshaped the perception of masculinity oh yeah we screw you I don't have to take that from you yeah that's what I'd say uh but the more important thing is that Doug mhof does not have a brother named Jack I'll give you a minute you can work on that at at home Doug mhof does not have a brother named Jack all right everybody caught up all right good good um Trump apparently is going hard at the idea that Harris is an idiot um he's called her stupid mentally impaired and disabled um and you might say to yourself how could such a person be doing so well well easily one of the biggest uh demographic groups in the United States is people who are stupid mentally impaired and disabled mentally disabled and uh they seem to love her you know why she looks good to them and I'm not even joking you know in in Prior elections and Hillary Clinton would' be one H whatever you want to say about Hillary Clinton she's not stupid can we all agree on that she's brilliant maybe evil but she's not dumb and you know if you looked at other women who have run for office you know Nikki haey um you could name several other Democrats are do any of them register as dumb no no some of them you might prefer or not prefer but none of the ones none of the women who ran for president look dumb but she does and and I'm not saying that just politically she actually looks dumb and so I love Trump going after for that uh but it might backfire because there's so many in that demographic group that they might say wait we have a dumb candidate finally somebody who can represent me have I told you that I sometimes test my persuasion by using non-standard terms to see if they pop up in some other context because if if I persuaded using ordinary words and then my persuasion like influenc somebody else I wouldn't really know it because they would just be ordinary people using ordinary words so one of the things I did intentionally several months ago is I tried to see if I could um brand uh the Democrat policies and specifically the Harris policies as quote batshit crazy does anybody remember me saying I was going to try to insert that term into the political conversation I want to see in the comments do you remember me saying that or no anyway it was my intention to not say I don't like these policies or these policies are good for some people but bad for others you know the usual things you say some of the policies such as price controls they're batshit crazy they are just bat crazy and for a while I was saying that every day on social media and and on my live streams well I guess yesterday Senator Lindsey Graham called V uh called Harris's policies bat crazy and he said it on a live broadcast nicely done lindsy Graham nicely done now we we have collectively you know found reasons to criticize lindsy Graham on this or that but if we're being fair this was really good because it became a headline and I think we need to reframe this is not Democrat versus Republican because this time it doesn't look like it every other election looked like it to me you know they all look like oh Democrat versus Republican this is batshit crazy brain dead Walnut brain stupid idiot against a candidate who's interesting this is not just two political opinions there's no philosophical difference going on here there's one is just bash sh crazy and the the micro the MSNBC you know the the main propagandist who support the Democrats they're just bashit crazy I probably looked at five different clips from MSNBC that were sent to me this morning do you know why people sent me the clips for humor for humor and nothing was added in other words nobody had to add the comment look what they're doing or uh look how they cover this topic or nothing they just simply send me exactly what MSNBC said and I just go oh my God oh my God like I can't even believe it and I just laugh at it so MSNBC is literally morphed into no longer anything like a news entity it just looks like this weird propaganda brainwashing operation full of people who were mentally ill it just looks like a monkey dance it's it's like total random mental illness going on the monkey part was not a racial term I wasn't thinking of any particular people it's just monkeys are funny there are plenty of white people who work at MSNBC don't take me out of context all right um apparently there's this leaked telephone conversation between between Arizona's Democrat Governor and Secretary of State and this is reported by the Gateway pundit Jordan conradson and apparently this uh telephone call they were worried and trying to figure out what to say about 98,000 voters that were part of a registration glitch now I think the glitch was we couldn't tell if they were citizens so there were close to a 100,000 people who if they voted you wouldn't know if they were legal votes now I don't know if they were legal or not but you wouldn't know because somehow it got disconnected from from knowing who's uh who's actually eligible to vote so apparently they were per perfectly aware that uh if it became known that they had 100,000 voter mistake that it would show that the whole system is messed up now you know what's interesting that the thing we know for sure is that our elections are pristine and that there was no cheating involved and yet every single day I hear multiple reports of irregularities that can't be explained or are transparently illegal Andor broken we have the most broken system of all systems and yet for the last several years we've been told they're perfect no problem they're they're not auditable by Design well who makes it who makes an election system that can't be audited by Design only people cheating there is no second answer to that question nobody builds something that can't be audited by Design unless they don't want it to be audited because they plan to cheat there's no other reason all right there was a big rescue the Republic event yesterday uh that looked like a big success in terms of turnout and big big names speakers RFK Jr and telsey gabard and Jordan Peterson and on and on and on it was quite a slate of stars but I don't know what it was trying to accomplish uh but only because I don't know I'm not saying it didn't accomplish anything I I'm just saying what were they trying to get done was there something specific we were trying to get out of that or just raise some attention for some points of view yeah Matt taib was there I heard he was great yeah okay so I'm a little underformed on the topic but if somebody could let me know what was the objective of that I could tell you if I thought they met it but um my guess is it got covered by all the right-wing media and it got ignored by the rest unless they said a bunch of racists met today so I don't know if it moved the needle but I don't know if that's what it was supposed to do you know may maybe there was multiple variables involved so let me know if you if you think that mov the needle in some way that I'm I'm missing well let's talk about Hezbollah according to the Wall Street Journal uh Israel's been carrying out these small targeted raids in Lebanon and the suggestion is um that they're going in on the ground Israel will make a ground assault on Lebanon to try to get rid of Hezbollah once and for all um now the IDF has confirmed that they killed the commander of Hamas in leanon I don't know what the commander is so it's not the head guy the head guy senoir is still around but uh they took out another leader now you really have to ask you your does Israel know at all times where all the leaders are or did somehow they just got lucky and found out just when they needed to kill them all because it looks to me like they have some kind of permanent program where they know where every bad guy leader is all the time it seems like a big coincidence they could get them all in a week so I mean the the pager thing didn't require them to know where they were I guess so that was different so it looks like the war is on they're going to go in and take care of business um it looks like if you judge based on what they've done so far they've crippled the communication which means it would be hard for Hezbollah to respond with a massive rocket attack at the same time because it would be hard to get the notice to everybody to do things simultaneously so if they can't communicate well and all the leaders have been taken out this would be the time to attack if they're going to attack ever this would be the time to do it um Iran says they they won't send forces to help Hezbollah why would they say it it's interesting that they say it it would be one thing not to do it but why do they say they're not going to send forces because doesn't that make it safer for Israel to go in or do they figure Israel is going in no matter what and they might as well at least avoid the avoid being painted in that same uh brush even though they're the on supporting Hezbollah well over in Saudi Saudi Arabia has banned all public displays of support for uh Palestine Hamas and Hezbollah so if you basically said something to even support them you get arrested in Saudi Arabia so remember there was a story that said that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was uh not interested in the Palestinian problem and then they tried to clean it up and say no no no he's totally interested but only because his citizens are interested he's not interested personally he doesn't think that he should be spending time on it but there are people in the country who think it's important so he's acknowledging the importance of his citizens but at the same time he's acknowledging that the citizens have this view he's making it very clear that he doesn't and it makes sense because they're big competitors Iran so the Palestinians and Hamas and Hezbollah are allied with his enemies so it makes sense that he would be trying to suppress them without making too big a deal with his own public um the AP referred to uh nazala the head of Hezbollah that got taken out as charismatic and shrewd in one of their headlines charismatic and shrewd let's see how did they re how did they treat Republican uh Senator Jim inhoff when he died uh they called him uh he C he called human cause climate change of hoax so there the AP is Kinder to the head of Hezbollah than a Republican senator yep that's a real thing that happened if I haven't mentioned it the Dilbert 2025 calendar death calendar is of available now you can pre pre- bu it go to dilbert.com to get the link it's the only place you can get it you can't get it on Amazon but you can get my book Win bigly Second Edition look for the one with the blue cover that's the only one I get money for the other ones I think are pirated or used books or something but there's a original the Black cover one don't buy that one that one doesn't help me at all it's not the updated one all right ladies and gentlemen I think I've said what I need to say for today uh Monday is going to be lit um I'd watch the polls as you know the polls are going to get a little more honest in the month of October because all the pollsters have to become honest the month before the election you're going to see that in the next two weeks or so because they don't want to suddenly close the gap like a week before the election you need a good solid month and that means by the middle of October the polls should be close to something like reality and then we're going to find out some interesting stuff like who's ahead we'll see if your anecdotal sense of things makes a difference now I didn't mention this before but uh Bill M on Friday said that he can't tell what's true anymore because he reads one source that says crime is up and another source that says it's down and you can't tell and he's getting very close to my opinion the all data is fake but I would ask you this on the question of whether the crime is up or down what's it feel like if you ignore the news just ignore the news like the news never happened your own life my neighborhood has been burgled three times in the last 18 months that's never happened before there was a somebody you know gunned down in in front of a uh Home Depot in my town I think it was a year or so ago but that was unusual like we don't get that kind of gun violence usually it's you know somebody who knows somebody pretty well but not a not a random shooter so my experience is that crime is way up and then when I see pictures of the sidewalks in the major cities I say well looks like crimes way up and I see the Sentinel deaths are you know higher than ever and I say looks to me like crimes up so if you can't tell what the data is telling you you might want to ignore the news and just look at your own situation because remember the news is is pushing narrative on both sides it's not like one side's honest and the other's a narrative both sides are pushing a narrative if if it feels like it's more dangerous where you are it probably is you're probably right about that so I'd go with that does seem that that the crime is worse in some ways there might be some categories where it's not all right um it's a fact of life all right now it was an Oakland resident who killed the guy at the Home Depot it was not the people waiting to be picked up to work um the lived experience yeah you can use it yourself the lived experience all right people that's all I got I'm going to talk to the uh subscribers on locals privately the rest of you I'll see you same time tomorrow thanks for joining on X and Rumble and You.

Tube bye for now and locals coming at you in 30 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

it will probably amaz and Delight you

that's the plan

anyway amaz and Delight

[Music]

[Music]

you good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams by

the way my new book um it's well it's an

updated book wind bigley second edition

available now but only in hard cover and

you can see it now up on the screen if

you get the blue one the one that's got

the blue background the one you can see

that's the updated one if you go to

Amazon you'll have trouble finding it

Amazon has hidden it so Amazon is not

allowing the uh the Kindle version or

the soft cover we couldn't even get them

improved and we can't can't even figure

out why they're not approved we can't

get any

Amazon so is it a big

coincidence that the book that says that

Trump is good at his job is the one that

they can't get published no probably not

probably not a coincidence so you're

going to have to look extra hard if you

want to see what's real and what's true

and thwart Amazon so that's what the the

book is it's a wind biggly but look for

the one with the blue background that's

the updated one the other ones I don't

get money for by the way if you buy the

the one with the old one with the black

background I don't get anything I get

zero money from that so please don't buy

the one with the black

background all

right let's go back to a better picture

of

me there we go anyway if you'd like to

take this experience up to levels that

nobody can understand with their shiny

tiny human brains all you need is a cup

or mug or a glass a tanker gelstein a

canteen jugg or flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine here

the day the thing that makes everything

better is called the simultaneous Z and

it happens now

go delightful no there is no audio book

yet for wi bigley um everything that I'm

doing has been stopped by one kind of

platform or another uh it's always a

technical problem yeah there's a

technical problem no matter what I do

there's a technical problem that applies

to my material but not other

people's and no I don't think it's a

coincidence so if you want any of my

materials you're going to have to work

for it and if you want the Dilbert

calendar page a day calendar which got

cancelled for last year but it's back

made in

America uh the only place you can find

it is go to dilbert.com if you go to

dilbert.com it'll have the link to

uh to buy it you won't be able to find

it anywhere else in the world it's not

going to be on

Amazon anyway did you know that the CEO

of Netflix endorsed kamla Harris which

apparently is setting off a wave of

cancellations which makes me ask the

following

question why would the CEO of a major

consumer

company um endorse the candidate knowing

it would be devastating

for the

shareholders why would you do

that th doesn't it seem like that's a

violation of your fiduciary

responsibilities if I invest in a

company and they come out and endorse a

candidate and make 50% of their base at

them I'm not going to be too happy with

that CEO now nothing to do with the

politics of it why would you as a CEO do

something so freaking stupid I mean

that's just

stupid is it so how do you explain it

well I've got a

suggestion one way to explain it I don't

know if this is the way but we're being

conspiratorial today you ready do you

remember that uh in the early earlier

part of the last century that the CIA

was definitely talking to Hollywood and

making sure that the movies and the TVs

were compatible with the propaganda and

brainwashing that the government

government wanted to do to the citizens

needed to make us patriotic and want to

join the military and think that America

is the best and all that stuff so we

know that there's a long history of the

CIA and the government uh meddling with

our major media entities what is our

major media entity for movies you watch

at home

Netflix Netflix do you think that

Netflix is completely independent and

has no connection to dark parts of the

government which tell it what it can and

cannot promote and which movies they

should float to the top and which one

should get the most exposure when it's

recommended to

people well I don't know but if the CIA

is doing all those other things and

they're leaving Netflix

alone that would be more of a

story Netflix is the obvious place that

the CIA should put their lever because

it's the big movie out that so if you

were going to do if you were going to do

any kind of control over how people

think you'd go for that one first which

suggests that the founder may have a

cozy relationship with somebody within

the government and may have more at

stake than just the stock price now I

have no information whatsoever to

imagine that anybody at Netflix is

working with anybody in the government

for any reason other than making money

for their shareholders but when you see

the CEO do something that's so plainly

and obviously bad for the stock price

you must ask the following

question

why why would you have a job that is

specifically to make your stock price do

well and then do something that's so

obviously terrible for it I mean really

obviously and he would know it I mean

it's not like is I'm not saying I'm

smarter than him and therefore if he

were smarter he would have known that

this recommendation would no everybody

knows it 100% of everybody in the world

knew that that would cost them a big

amount of money but he did it

anyway now I guess he's a Founder so he

doesn't have to worry about being

replaced by the board but if he hadn't

been a

Founder I would think the board should

replace you if you do something that

Reckless but nope there's probably more

to this story and we don't know what it

is Economist

markandi who uh is a fairly high-profile

Economist um I don't know if you've

heard his name but if you're a nerd like

me I've heard his name and he had

something to say about our current

economy and he's an expert all right so

here's an expert Economist you can trust

an expert Economist can you he's using

data people he's going to use data and

I'm going to tell you the data you

believe data don't you come on come on

on you don't believe data and you don't

believe

experts I I you're just so cynical now

you're so cynical all right I'm going to

read you what the expert Economist said

and then I want each of you who are not

experts you are not well some of you

actually are economists but those of you

who are not economists I want you want

you to see if you can find out what's

wrong with his analysis now remember

you're not an expert and he is so this

will be a tough challenge see if you can

find the tiny small little tiny almost

imperceptible problem with his analysis

okay you

ready Mark xandi says I've hesitated to

say this at the risk of sounding

hyperbolic but with last week's big GDP

revisions there is no denying it this is

among the best performing economies in

my 35 plus years as an economist e now

he he hasn't he hasn't uh Justified his

opinion yet but wait for it because it's

based on data and I think the data is

the accepted data so listen to

this he said economic growth is Rip

roaring with real GDP up 3% over the

past year unemployment is low at near 4%

consistent with full employment that's

an economics term for saying that if it

were less than it is you know if if

employment were any better it would

cause inflation so that's how they say

that they call it full employment uh so

that would be great um inflation is fast

closing in on fed's 2% Target grocery

prices rents and gas place prices are

flat to down over the past year now

remember he's not making the mistake of

saying that prices are down right he's

an economist he's not a politician

politicians say stuff like oh prices are

down no they're not they're way up

inflation is not as bad as it used to be

it's just not but the you know the base

price is still way higher than it should

be so he's smart enough to

know that you have to say it the right

way so he's saying it the right

way and then he says households

Financial Obligations are light and set

to get lighter really household

Financial Obligations are light I didn't

know that but he's probably right about

that um oh with the FED cutting rates

okay so that's going to help interest

rates will go down house prices have

never been higher well okay that's good

if you own a house and most home owners

have more equity in their homes than

ever corporate profits are robust and

the stock market is hitting a record

high in seemingly daily basis and he

says uh you know of course there are

some other things all right so what is

the problem with his analysis do you see

anything is there anything you left

out did you see any any very variable

that you think might matter that's left

out the national

debt the the national debt is on an

unambiguous path toward complete

destruction of the United

States I feel like that should be

mentioned there's not a single thing

that he mentioned that's going well that

would be going well if we hadn't

borrowed and spent more than we have

all of those things he says are good are

based on the fact that we have a

existential Doom cloud like we've never

seen $ 36 trillion do worth of debt and

we don't have any way of paying it back

do do you know how I can make you all

rich I can make you all rich right now

I'll give you all a $10 million loan

that you never have to pay back hey I I

just fixed everything I just made

everybody Rich look at me give me a give

me some kind of Nobel prize in economics

for that yeah if you ignore debt that is

both crushing and

unsolvable things look

great things look

great now how about the fact that young

people can't afford homes and uh they'll

all be replaced by robots pretty soon

well we got problems all right so it's a

political season so you can tell who he

backs politically with without much

effort uh I don't know anything about

his political opinion but based on his

economic opinion leaving out the debt

I'm gonna say he might be a

Democrat might

be

anyway um do you this this next story is

weird all right I'm going to get to all

the big stories but I like to start with

the weird ones um how many of you

remember that the other day it was only

a few days ago

I speculated that playing the game

Tetris specifically specifically Tetris

would be good for your mental

health does anybody remember me saying

that just a few days ago that the game

Tetris would be good for your mental

health I think you remember right well a

few days later there's this story that's

just it's just so weird it I feel like

the simulation must be

the simulation must be it must be real

right so here's a story I see today uh

from upella University wherever that is

a single treatment session including the

video game Tetris reduces PTSD

symptoms they actually tested it they

tested

PTSD for people paying Tetris now

remember what my what my hypoth hthis

was the hypothesis was that our brains

like um things that will you know take

our mind off of our troubles but also

that we're accomplishing things so every

time you you mentally twist one of those

little Tetris blocks in your mind so it

fits together with the other blocks

you're accomplishing a thing and you're

it requires some focus in a part of your

brain remember I talked about shelf

space Yeah the more minutes of your day

you spend thinking about not bad things

the better your mental health so if you

make somebody focus on the the visual

part of their brain you have to use the

visual part of your brain to do the

tatris because you're you're moving

things in your mind before you make them

real that's just a different part of

your brain and that doesn't involve your

memory right your memory is one that's

giving you the PTSD oh that thought that

thought that intrusive thought that

intrusive thought well every single

minute you and not doing that breaks the

Habit PTSD and OCD and those recurring

thought ones the ones where you can't

get the thought on your head that's a

habit the only thing you need to do to

break a habit is something else that's

the solution you just have to find

something else the more time you spend

doing the something else the less of a

habit it becomes so sure

enough and apparently not only does it

work while you're doing it here here's

the real payoff it's a lasting

benefit your PTSD symptoms stay reduced

after you've played for a little while

it stays that way not just the day but

like years you know

presumably

so what are the what are the odds that I

would tell you speculatively that Tetris

would solve your mental health and then

within a few days there would be a story

about Tetris

doing exactly what I said it would do

now I'm not going to brag about being

smart although I'm pretty smart I think

I got this one right because of talent

stack meaning that I'm a trained

hypnotist and so I really pay attention

to the brain as a machine so when I

think of the brain I don't think of

magic and Free Will and your soul and

things I don't even think are real I

think of it as a machine what what did

do the most of did it spend most of its

uh operating Cycles doing this or did it

spend most of its operating Cycles doing

this other thing because you can tell

like a machine what the difference would

be depending on what part of the machine

you're stressing so that's the way I see

it as a hypnotist I see it as a machine

certain parts are stressed certain parts

are used and then you can just kind of

figure out what would happen if you do a

certain

change well there's a the hurricane

disasters is looking pretty bad five

states in the uh in the East the US uh

five states got hit pretty hard millions

are without power still uh people are

missing presume dead we don't know the

numbers yet and um there's a lot of

pressure on FEMA which people say are

not getting it done but uh it was

pointed out today that FEMA's number one

goal their number one goal is to make

sure that when there's a

disaster uh they save as many lives and

as much property as they can that's

their number one goal number one goal

for

FEMA oh wait I read that wrong no their

number one goal that's not that's not

their number one goal their number one

goal is quote instill Equity as a

foundation of Emergency Management so

more of a Dei thing that's their number

one goal so if you're going to judge

FEMA because a bunch of people died or

they didn't do enough I don't think

that's fair because you'd be judging

them against a standard which is not

their standard their standard is how

much did they support equity and Dei and

I think they did a good job on that so

all of you complainers who are saying oh

oh but the lights are off and we don't

have food and people are drowning and we

can't find them and there's not enough

resources stop

whining they got the equity just right

and and that was their number one

priority

so

so anyway um you might know somebody who

predicted that if Dei became a top

priority no with no uh con let's see

with h nothing to do with anybody's

genes or culture or gender or anything

like that it is a system which on paper

should destroy the country in other

words if you look at it like a machine

you say all right suppose the country is

a machine and it has these various

moving Parts what would happen if you

threw a bunch of gravel into it well if

you're not a idiot you'd know

that putting gravel into a machine is a

really bad idea so in this case the

gravel they're throwing in their fuma

machine is Dei I love the idea of having

our big organizations represent the

actual public I love that I do think

that are big important industries and

governments should they should as you

know in an Ideal World should represent

the people who live here should look a

little bit like the public but if you

force it it's gravel in the machine and

there's just no way around that so we

should predictably see a failure in all

of our major institutions and we should

see the failure happening first in the

government because the government is

pushing the hardest

and been doing it the longest so sure

enough FEMA's getting a lot of bad

attention by the way I don't know that

FEMA's doing a bad

job uh I'm just saying that the critics

are saying that I feel like

FEMA's one of those agencies that will

never seem like it's doing enough

because if you're in an emergency if

you're the person who's in the emergency

you never really think they're doing

enough so I'm not entirely sure they're

failing but the criticisms are out there

um well it turns out that there's a

proposed lawsuit against the Secret

Service um because of their Dei goals

apparently they were trying to reach 30%

female Workforce there is allegedly a

nonprofit uh that's defending women's

issues so it's a weird entity to be

doing this but a some nonprofit uh is

going to Pur the Secret Service for what

it alleges is quote arbitrary diversity

equality and inclusion that harms female

employees why does that harm female

employees so it sounds like some right

leaning entity is trying to trying to do

the best they can but make it look a

little confusing for their own influence

reasons

um so so whether or not this lawsuit is

effective we won't don't know but we do

know that uh there are criticisms of the

Secret Service especially that handling

the uh the Trump

situations and uh some have said that

Dei is directly responsible for that

incompetence we don't know that for sure

but on paper if you took the Secret

Service and you thought of it as a

machine and then you said to yourself I

wonder what would happen if I threw a

bunch of gravel into this machine called

the Secret Service what do you think I'm

going to say next

it's exactly what it should be these are

the most predictable outcomes in the

world if the Dei stuff had nothing to do

with the uh the failure of the Trump

protection which is possible in the same

way that FEMA might be operating really

well you know and maybe the critics are

going overboard don't know but I can

tell you that whether or not these are

real failures caused by Dei the system

as it's designed is throwing travel into

the machines and there's no way I can't

destroy them whether it's happened yet

that's still a

question meanwhile KL Harris says she

wants to appoint the first woman to run

the

Pentagon what do you think I'm going to

say about

that yes she wants to bring Dei to the

Pentagon not only is she the Dei

candidate because she is let's face it

uh K Harris would not be the candidate

if she were not a person of color and a

woman we all know that and so she's the

Dei

commander-in-chief who is committed to

use Dei to staff the military at the

top so uh what do you think I'm going to

say about uh the machine that's the

military and throwing some

gravel in the machine it's going to do

exactly what you think it's going to do

exactly what you think is going to do

but on top of that there's something

that's very different about the military

compared to everything else and I need

to say this as often as possible because

if you don't understand this we're all

dead like actually dead dead you know

not hyperbole dead but the dead kind

where you're not breathing

kind it goes like

this

discrimination is immoral and ethical

and unwise and it's not good for you in

almost any domain you could think of so

if it's employment discrimination don't

do it bad for you bad for them bad for

society uh if it's in your personal

relationships don't be a fool you should

at least be open to any any group having

you know the love of your life come out

of it if you're choosing friends it's

hard to have friends at all if you can

find any kind of friends don't close

yourself off because of race and gender

and stuff like that so for most of the

things that are the common things that

people do in the world discrimination

should be drummed out of it and we

should be trained not to be thinking

like that and it's not good for anybody

in most of those domains there is

however one

exception

self-defense self-defense doesn't have

any

discrimination um

variable if you're trying to protect

yourself you can discriminate as much as

you want the only requirement is

whatever is in your own head nobody can

tell you that's immoral nobody can tell

you it's unethical nobody can tell you

it's

inappropriate you're just looking for

what works because if you don't find

what works you're dead that's what

self-defense is so if you're going to

discriminate in

self-defense all that matters is did you

do a good job of it

did you discriminate well for example

wouldn't it be great if people who have

physical disabilities are not completely

borrowed from the uh workplace yeah

that's probably good because a lot of

people have disabilities all kinds so

making some accommodations for our

citizens in the workplace it definitely

has a cost I know why people complain

about it when I own a small business I

didn't like building a ramp and you

having all these wheelchair things that

literally nobody ever used but I also

appreciate it I know where it's coming

from I don't mind that expense to me

that's it's it's an expense but to me

that seems like where we want to be as a

people you know not letting people go

because they got a bad leg or something

right but when it comes to protecting

yourself you can discriminate all you

want and I don't think that women should

be in charge of Defense

because I don't think they're good at it

now there could be Exceptions there

could be a a specific exception that I'd

say okay all right tulsey gabard she's

been in the military I've heard her talk

okay you can be

commander-in-chief

fine um and you could come up with you

know 10 more names pretty easily where

you'd say okay yeah that that one

individual definitely should be

commander-in-chief but if you're

starting with you're starting with they

should be

female you're into the DI Dei foret kind

of situation now I'm no expert on the

military but are there any women who

have been in serious combat extended

combat who would also be qualified to be

you know leading military groups because

I feel like you need to have been really

really in the th of War to be a good

General CU you need to know what doesn't

work as as well as what works from the

ground up so I think men should be in

charge of the military because we're

biologically suited for it I think women

should take the lead on what the

abortion laws are and while men

certainly retain all their rights and

certainly have a say about spending

money the laws themselves are better

suited for women to figure it out um

just because it it keeps the country

together you at least if women are on

the same side of abortion and by the way

women and men don't have that much

different opinion on on the topic it's

more like Republican versus Democrat so

if you let the women work it out and

just tell the men what they figured out

and then we just go with it that would

be the equivalent sort of the the the

balancing for women I'm asking can you

let the men do the defense you're really

going to be better off now I'm not

saying that every man who could be a

general would do a better job than every

woman who could be a general that's

obviously not true but don't push it

right let it happen naturally you know

if if a if a Tulsi gyber gets the

nomination for president

someday then you'd say would she

specifically be a good

commander-in-chief probably yes probably

yes but don't just push it and say we

got to get a woman in there heading the

military that's that's gravel in the

machine

all

right California um according to

Politico um passed the law to prevent

the local governments from requiring ID

for voting that's because there was one

place in California Huntington Beach

that wanted to require people to show

photo ID at the polling places to vote

and Governor Nome said no there's one

thing we don't want in this state is

that knowing that people who voted um

are allowed to vote

now can you come up with a second reason

why this would be the law in California

what's the second

reason or or a reason give give me a

reason

um if you ask them they'll say well we

don't want to um let's see uh discourage

people from voting and uh um I think um

yeah it would be disen franchising some

people

and are those even real reasons they

don't even sound like real reasons it

doesn't even sound like somebody's

trying to do a good job of lying to you

to me this is completely transparent we

plan to cheat here's how we plan to do

it we plan to have a bunch of uh you

know people who can't vote who are not

citizens we plan to have them vote

anyway and then we're going to make sure

it's too late to reverse vers

it it's right in front of

you there there's not the slightest

doubt what the plan is it's right there

right in front of you apparently there

are 14 states that do not require voter

ID at the polls let me guess let's see

14 States well we know one is California

let's see I wonder what kind of States

Florida is the no Florida they require

ID see what other states so Texas would

no Texas of course would require

ID oh it's all the Democrat

States yeah all the blue

States um except one

Illinois somebody saying now I don't

know if it's all the blue States it's 14

so there might be one that's not blue

but clearly the reason for it is

fraud it's not like there's a second

reason for this there is no second

reason it's just fla fraud it's just

fraud and it's right in front of

you anyway so Trump said again Breitbart

News is reporting that uh um he vows to

prosecute Google at the maximum levels

for election

interference now election interference

in this context is that they've

allegedly rigged the search results so

it says more good things about Harris

toward the top and and it's harder to

find good things about Trump now is it

true of course it is yes it's very true

it's 100% true it is election

interference it is illegal I think I'm

no lawyer but to me it looks like

election interference and it looks

intentional and it looks like it's

transparent it looks like management has

said it directly you know if you've seen

the videos of the Google leaders all

being sad when Trump won the first time

and vowing it wouldn't happen again well

what do you think that

means of course it means that it's

rigged of course it does now here's

what's smart about Trump uh threatening

him when when a Google employee whoever

it is makes a change to the algorithm

and they know it's making a change

that's negative for Trump what do you

think they think about that

today probably not much of anything

it's like oh yeah let's just tweak this

it's a bad for that bad Trump guy it's

good for Harris little tweak go back to

work here's what they should be thinking

if I change that am I going to go to

jail that's what they should be thinking

they should be thinking if I change this

code just a little bit will I go to

jail they should be thinking that

because the things they're doing are

just horrifically

undemocratic and and yeah they should go

to jail they should absolutely be in

jail so if they're not thinking about

that when they tweak something they need

to start they need to start thinking

what jail is going to be like you should

picture it I'm sitting there in jail and

I'm sitting there in

jail and I'm still sitting there in jail

because there's not much to do in jail

except get abused I guess

so very good messaging so the long

shoreman are going to strike I think

that's tonight or something

um and I don't know what they're asking

for but they better worry about robots

because if I were a shipping

company I'd certainly be looking at

robots to do my long shoreman work

eventually so they got that to worry

about so I can see why they'd want to

organize they've got a lot a lot of

reasons to do that

um I'm going to give you the most

contrarian view you've ever heard you

ready this strike which allegedly will

be a big problem for the supply chain it

will involve some kinds of foods maybe

fruits coming from outside the company

country uh it won't starve us you know

we're not going to run out of food but

maybe some specific kinds of foods and

then materials that we need for prod

products

Etc so it's going to be really really

inconvenient and we're not going to like

it here's the contrary

intake our supply roots and and Supply

chains we learned during the pandemic

were woefully

terrible and we didn't really have

backups and secondary ways to do things

but we created a bunch because we had to

when the supply chains got broken people

you know quickly compensated

I think we need to break the supply

chains a few more times because if we

don't break them in like serious ways

they'll never be

fixed in other words we'll never uh

we'll never have a reason to build the

startup that could be the alternative

you know it wouldn't it be great if they

did the strike but then immediately some

startup pops up and says you know what

we've got this Fleet of electric ships

or whatever and we can do this at half

the cost we just need a chance oh here's

your

chance

so I don't have a completely negative

feeling about the strike first of all I

I'm Pro Union I think the union if

they're not getting what they

need and there's money to you know make

them whole sure um but I but I do think

that uh it could be good for the system

just just to force some Alternatives um

so that we're less less susceptible in

the

future that might be a little too

optimistic but I'm feeling optimistic

today Andrew

huberman PhD says there's more data

showing that cardio cardiovascular

exercises improves your brain function

in the hours that follow now apparently

cardio does much better than just

lifting or resistance straining in terms

of your mental cognition now if you do

too much

it'll make you stupid so if you run to

the point where you just you know you're

done you're not going to be thinking too

well

either but if you do like a good cardio

like a healthy level of cardio for

whatever stage of life you're at

apparently that has a lasting brain

benefits um as somebody who does

creative stuff for a living and I spend

lots of hours doing it my biggest

my biggest challenge always has been

managing my energy and my mental state

because you need to be kind of in your

top 2% to do what I do you know if

you're if you're operating at 95% just

nothing

happens you can't really be creative at

a commercial level if you're operating

at 95% just nothing happens yeah you got

to get into that 99% of your own best

before anything can happen so I've been

playing with this variable of exercise

excise and from my own anecdotal

experience um doing resistance training

makes me tired and doing some cardio if

it doesn't go too bad allows me to

really concentrate on work and get stuff

done so

anecdotally it feels right feels about

right to me cardio but don't overdo it

is good for your brain John Cary said we

talked about this before but like I

can't get it out of my mind he said this

quote at some event our first amendment

stands as a major block to the ability

to be able to hammer uh disinformation

and of existence what we need is to win

the right to govern by hopefully winning

enough votes that were free to be able

to implement change Implement

change to the First

Amendment the freedom of

speech

H um the New York timer the new I'm

sorry the New Yorker publication

uh has a article in which the title is

is it time to torch the

Constitution quote some Scholars say

that it's to blame for our political

dysfunction and that we need to start

over Okay so John car is questioning the

First Amendment the New Yorker left

leaning publication thinks it might be

time to torch the com Constitution or at

least we should talk about it and uh RFK

Jr that recent podcast said that uh 37

hours after Harrison Biden were

installed in the White House they open

an illegal portal between the social

media Giants and the FBI CIA CDC to

begin rampant

censorship so it appears that

Democrats uh need or they say they need

rampant um censorship in order to run

the country otherwise it's going to be

chaos now you've heard me say and I'm

going to Triple down on it no country

can survive Free Speech we''ve never had

it we've never had it the way they

controlled our free speech in the past

is by brainwashing us so that when we

thought we were speaking freely we were

just mimicking what we've been

brainwashed to say so you can have

something that feels like free speech so

long as you've been brainwashed to only

say the things that are appropriate and

so long as the entities that reported

the news were controlled by the

government so if you said something that

wasn't part of the brainwashing well you

didn't get on the news or if you did

they mocked you as some kind of

communist criminal and you should be

ignored now once the government no no

longer controls the

news and social media is sort of

brainwashing people more randomly as

opposed to the government doing it now

you got a problem because actual Free

Speech where people are not brainwashed

into their opinion but rather it comes

to them through some some sense of some

set of

variables um that's dangerous

stuff that's dangerous and no I don't

think any country has ever survived that

I think that people there there's always

some other either commercial or

embarrassment or shame there's always

some Force to keep you from saying what

you maybe think you should say so we'

never really have free speech and I

don't think we could survive it but we

do need to get back to the illusion of

it the illusion of free speech is

important the actual free speech is less

important

now how much this matters depends on how

bad your government is if your

government is

terrible than not having free speech is

the disaster if your if your government

is chugging along okay let's say a

George Bush Senior kind of a world or

you know Reagan second term kind of a

world you don't really care too much

people can say what they want we can

argue about it things are going fine

it's just when you've got a really bad

government uh that's when the Free

Speech going away is an existential risk

and I would say that the Democrats

collectively I don't know what's wrong

like some say it's a Marxist thing I

don't know but there's something

terribly terribly broken in that the

things that they're doing appear to be

designed to destroy the

country meaning that if I gave you a set

of democrat policies and didn't tell you

they're Democrat policies and I said

instead there's a terrible entity that's

trying to destroy the United States look

at the things they're doing and if you

looked at the things on their list you'd

say oh wow they're pushing Dei yeah

that's gravel in the machine that's

obviously that can't be for the benefit

of the country uh they're wait they're

not they're not checking voter ID well

that looks like it's designed for I

don't know what but not for good

elections oh they're trying to limit our

Free Speech

what you know almost everything that

they're doing if you saw it on paper and

it had not been identified as Democrat

policy you would think it was a plan to

destroy the United States I mean it's

that blatantly obviously what the hell

are you thinking

situation anyway uh according to George

it's an account on uh on X that you

should follow

um Austria just had an election and the

uh I guess what is being called their

far right they might not call it that

just one and I don't think people were

necessarily expecting it but the the

side that one is anti-immigration

um and they're for Mass deportation and

their their model is Hungary with Victor

Orban who's sort of on the same page

with that

stuff so and they're opposed to

sanctions against

Russia and they see Ukraine as a a NATO

provoked all right and they're very

angry oh okay that's according to a

leftist Professor but he's probably not

too far

off um some say this is a sign of what's

coming in the United

States is

it you would expect that there would be

some natural push back and there is yeah

there is I don't know if it's telling us

what's going to happen in the United

States but I'm putting Austria on my

list of Escape countries if I ever have

to leave the United States I'm going to

say Austria hello hello can you take one

more they're anti-immigration though so

I don't know if I'll get

in it's like the good news and the bad

news hey the good news is there's a

country that might survive the bad news

is the reason they're going to survive

is they don't let people like me into

the

country all

right uh the new polls are coming out uh

Trump's now ahead in Pennsylvania

according to four different polls Atlas

Intel Insider advantage rasmuson and fox

uh those all flipped in the last couple

of weeks last couple of weeks H we get

getting closer to the election things

are

changing um MSNBC is reporting the

Democrats are losing ground with latino

voters I saw an Eric abante post on this

also great follow on X um 40% of

Hispanics said they'd vote for Trump now

you might say but 40% that's not so good

that's less than half but here's what it

used to look like uh the Democrat

Advantage

um there in 2012 in 2012 the Democrats

had a 44 point

Advantage for Hispanic voters 44 point

difference yeah that's huge but it went

down a little bit by 2016 Trump had

gotten that down I don't know if it's

because of trump but it down to

38 38 is a big big

difference in

2020 it fell again to

33 it's a big change but 33 is still a

big big

difference current

polling

14 so the the advantage the Democrats

had went from 44 38 33 and just cut by

more than half

and the closer they are to the the

border the more pro- Republican they

are now I don't know if that's because

they're close to the

Border uh or they're just in Republican

area so maybe they just lean that way I

don't know but uh there could be some

surprises coming uh Steve Cortez Steve

Cortez I don't know why I pronounced it

wrong but Steve Cortez has a new fil

Mount called Bad ombres now remember

that's what uh Trump said there were

some bad ombr coming across the border

and then the Democrat said he's calling

everybody a bad ombre

no no he's saying that some of them are

bad ombres so it's the name of uh his

film Google it to figure out where it is

Steve Cortez just search for bad ombr

new video I recommend it I haven't seen

it but I'll I'll watch it I just saw

heard about it this morning

well here's a little uh sleeper variable

for the election let's see who saw this

coming you know have you been wondering

if the Lara Trump and the Republican

organizers are doing a good job now

we're hearing Scott Pressler doing an

amazing job in Pennsylvania registering

people we know that uh there going to be

something like a 100,000 lawyers and

observers for the election that sounds

pretty serious so the these are clearly

good things are happened I think Lara

was behind supporting Scott presler so

you're seeing you're seeing all these

hints of smart effective things coming

out of the

Republicans well here's one I didn't

know about turns out there's been an

effort to organize churches so that the

churches will help collect mailin

ballots where it's legal now that would

be called harvesting but it's not

illegal everywhere it's legal to say can

I can I help you take this to the

mailbox so churches are

organized

and that could be a really a really big

difference if the churches uh fully

Embrace mail and voting and they start

collecting it in the church and getting

everybody to sit there and fill out

their Ballot or whatever they're going

to do I think this could be a sleeper

variable

because the the uh left leaning news is

sort of it's invisible to them they're

not really covering Republican Church

Gatherings so I don't know it's too

early to say because I don't know what

numbers are involved but given that the

swing states have you know small margins

if you get the churches really

organized it feels like that delivers

votes more than most things right if if

the church is collect itively doing

something it seems like the church

members are going to be really

influenced by that so could be a big

deal all right here's something funny I

saw on X a an account called pachy

Keenan I don't know if that's a real

name or I don't know just a a name for

Twitter but pachy Keenan talked about

Harris wals and I'm just going to read

it because the writing is so good but it

also sort of nails

um en Nails a feeling that i' had not

been able to capture all right so pich

Keenan says quote men are grossed out by

kamla Tim because there's nothing to

hook them the man in quotes on the

ticket is a weird little troll like

creep with bilateral limp

wrists and the female is a sexlist vapid

HR boss Who projects deep hatred of

masculine men both couples seem like

onic relationships at best and possibly

one beard

situation Trump Vance on the other hand

are red-blooded hetero males with a

healthy appreciation for biological

women their wives are lovely and po it's

a much more authentic relatable ticket

and he and peachy says that Harris wals

appeals to oddballs blitzed on mood

enhancers and sterilized by long-term

birth control and gender studies

phds yeah

that pretty much captured

it and then I saw Jen saki was

interviewing Doug mhof and she's been

pushing this idea that uh wals and mhof

are uh are the new

masculinity so so she actually said to

Doug emhof in an interview she said you

reshaped the perception of masculinity

let me just say

this if you ever really want to get

under my skin and give me an insult that

will like really you know get to the get

to my

core typically I'm pretty you know thick

skinned people insult me all day on

social media I don't really think about

it by the time I'm going to bed right

sometimes I respond but it doesn't

really doesn't really get to me but if

you really really wanted to insult me

like deeply deeply insult me here's what

you should

say Scott looks like you reshaped the

perception of

masculinity oh yeah we screw

you I don't have to take that from

you yeah that's what I'd say uh but the

more important thing is that Doug mhof

does not have a brother named

Jack I'll give you a minute you can work

on that at at home Doug mhof does not

have a brother named

Jack all right everybody caught up all

right good

good um Trump apparently is going hard

at the idea that Harris is an idiot um

he's called her stupid mentally impaired

and

disabled um and you might say to

yourself how could such a person be

doing so well well easily one of the

biggest uh demographic groups in the

United States is people who are stupid

mentally impaired and disabled mentally

disabled and uh they seem to love her

you know why she looks good to

them and I'm not even

joking you know in in Prior elections

and Hillary Clinton would' be one H

whatever you want to say about Hillary

Clinton she's not stupid can we all

agree on that she's

brilliant maybe evil but she's not dumb

and you know if you looked at other

women who have run for office you know

Nikki haey um you could name several

other Democrats are do any of them

register as dumb no no some of them you

might prefer or not prefer but none of

the ones none of the women who ran for

president look dumb but she does and and

I'm not saying that just politically she

actually looks dumb

and so I love Trump going after for that

uh but it might backfire because there's

so many in that demographic group that

they might say wait we have a dumb

candidate finally somebody who can

represent

me have I told you that I sometimes test

my

persuasion by using non-standard terms

to see if they pop up in some other

context because if if I persuaded using

ordinary words and then my persuasion

like influenc somebody else I wouldn't

really know it because they would just

be ordinary people using ordinary

words so one of the things I did

intentionally several months ago is I

tried to see if I could um brand uh the

Democrat policies and specifically the

Harris policies as quote batshit crazy

does anybody remember me saying I was

going to try to insert that term into

the political

conversation I want to see in the

comments do you remember me saying that

or

no anyway it was my

intention to not say I don't like these

policies or these policies are good for

some people but bad for others you know

the usual things you say some of the

policies such as price

controls they're batshit crazy they are

just bat crazy and for a while I

was saying that every day on social

media and and on my live streams well I

guess yesterday Senator Lindsey Graham

called V uh called Harris's policies bat

crazy and he said it on a live

broadcast nicely done lindsy Graham

nicely done now we we have collectively

you know found reasons to criticize

lindsy Graham on this or that but if

we're being fair this was really good

because it became a

headline and I think we need to reframe

this is not Democrat versus Republican

because this time it doesn't look like

it every other election looked like it

to me you know they all look like oh

Democrat versus Republican this is

batshit crazy brain dead Walnut brain

stupid idiot against a candidate

who's

interesting this is not just two

political opinions there's no

philosophical difference going on here

there's one is just bash sh crazy and

the the micro the MSNBC you know the the

main propagandist who support the

Democrats they're just bashit

crazy I probably looked at five

different clips from MSNBC that were

sent to me this morning do you know why

people sent me the

clips for

humor for humor and nothing was added in

other words nobody had to add the

comment look what they're doing or uh

look how they cover this topic or

nothing they just simply send me exactly

what MSNBC said and I just go oh my God

oh my God like I can't even believe it

and I just laugh at it so MSNBC is

literally morphed into no longer

anything like a news entity it just

looks like this weird propaganda

brainwashing operation full of people

who were mentally ill it just looks like

a monkey dance it's it's like total

random mental illness going on the

monkey part was not a racial term I

wasn't thinking of any particular people

it's just monkeys are funny there are

plenty of white people who work at MSNBC

don't take me out of context all

right um apparently there's this leaked

telephone conversation between between

Arizona's Democrat Governor and

Secretary of State and this is reported

by the Gateway pundit Jordan

conradson and apparently this uh

telephone call they were worried and

trying to figure out what to say about

98,000 voters that were part of a

registration glitch now I think the

glitch was we couldn't tell if they were

citizens so there were close to a

100,000

people who

if they voted you wouldn't know if they

were legal

votes now I don't know if they were

legal or not but you wouldn't know

because somehow it got disconnected from

from knowing who's uh who's actually

eligible to vote so apparently they were

per perfectly aware that uh if it became

known that they had 100,000 voter

mistake that it would show that the

whole system is messed up now you know

what's

interesting that

the thing we know for sure is that our

elections are pristine and that there

was no cheating involved and yet every

single day I hear multiple reports of

irregularities that can't be explained

or are transparently illegal

Andor

broken we have the most broken system of

all systems and yet for the last several

years we've been told they're

perfect no problem they're they're not

auditable by

Design well who makes it who makes an

election system that can't be

audited by

Design only people cheating there is no

second answer to that question nobody

builds something that can't be audited

by

Design unless they don't want it to be

audited because they plan to cheat

there's no other

reason all

right there was a big rescue the

Republic event yesterday uh that looked

like a big success in terms of turnout

and big big names speakers RFK Jr and

telsey gabard and Jordan Peterson and on

and on and on it was quite a slate of

stars but I don't know what it was

trying to

accomplish uh but only because I don't

know I'm not saying it didn't accomplish

anything I I'm just saying what were

they trying to get

done was there something specific we

were trying to get out of that or just

raise some attention for some points of

view yeah Matt taib was there I heard he

was

great yeah okay so I'm a little

underformed on the topic but if somebody

could let me know what was the objective

of that I could tell you if I thought

they met it but um my guess is it got

covered by all the right-wing

media and it got ignored by the rest

unless they said a bunch of racists met

today so I don't know if it moved the

needle but I don't know if that's what

it was supposed to do you know may maybe

there was multiple variables involved so

let me know if you if you think that mov

the needle in some way that I'm I'm

missing well let's talk about Hezbollah

according to the Wall Street

Journal uh Israel's been carrying out

these small targeted raids in Lebanon

and the suggestion is um

that they're going in on the ground

Israel will make a ground assault on

Lebanon to try to get rid of Hezbollah

once and for

all um now the IDF has confirmed that

they killed the commander of Hamas in

leanon I don't know what the commander

is so it's not the head guy the head guy

senoir is still around but uh they took

out another

leader now you really have to ask you

your does Israel know at all times where

all the leaders are or did somehow they

just got lucky and found out just when

they needed to kill them all because it

looks to me like they have some kind of

permanent program where they know where

every bad guy leader is all the time it

seems like a big coincidence they could

get them all in a week so I mean the the

pager thing didn't require them to know

where they were I guess so that was

different

so it looks like the war is on they're

going to go in and take care of

business um it looks

like if you judge based on what they've

done so far they've crippled the

communication which means it would be

hard for Hezbollah to respond with a

massive rocket attack at the same time

because it would be hard to get the

notice to everybody to do things

simultaneously so if they can't

communicate well and all the leaders

have been taken out this would be the

time to attack if they're going to

attack ever this would be the time to do

it um Iran says they they won't send

forces to help

Hezbollah why would they say

it it's interesting that they say it it

would be one thing not to do

it but why do they say they're not going

to send forces because doesn't that make

it safer for Israel to go in or do they

figure Israel is going in no matter what

and they might as well at least avoid

the avoid being painted in that same uh

brush even though they're the on

supporting

Hezbollah well over in Saudi Saudi

Arabia has banned all public displays of

support for uh Palestine Hamas and

Hezbollah so if you basically said

something to even support them you get

arrested in Saudi Arabia so remember

there was a story that said that the

Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was uh not

interested in the Palestinian problem

and then they tried to clean it up and

say no no no he's totally interested but

only because his citizens are interested

he's not interested personally he

doesn't think that he should be spending

time on it but there are people in the

country who think it's important so he's

acknowledging the importance of his

citizens but at the same time he's

acknowledging that the citizens have

this view he's making it very clear that

he doesn't

and it makes sense because they're big

competitors Iran so the Palestinians and

Hamas and

Hezbollah are allied with his enemies so

it makes sense that he would be trying

to suppress them without making too big

a deal with his own

public um the

AP referred to uh nazala the head of

Hezbollah that got taken out as

charismatic and shrewd in one of their

headlines charismatic and shrewd let's

see how did they re how did they treat

Republican uh Senator Jim inhoff when he

died uh they called him uh he C he

called human cause climate change of

hoax so there the AP is Kinder to the

head of Hezbollah than a Republican

senator yep that's a real thing that

happened if I haven't mentioned it the

Dilbert 2025 calendar death calendar is

of available now you can pre pre- bu it

go to dilbert.com to get the link it's

the only place you can get it you can't

get it on Amazon but you can get my book

Win bigly Second Edition look for the

one with the blue cover that's the only

one I get money for the other ones I

think are pirated or used books or

something but there's a original the

Black cover one don't buy that one that

one doesn't help me at all it's not the

updated one

all

right ladies and gentlemen I think I've

said what I need to say for today uh

Monday is going to be

lit um I'd watch the polls as you know

the polls are going to get a little more

honest in the month of October because

all the pollsters have to become honest

the month before the election you're

going to see that in the next two weeks

or so because they don't want to

suddenly close the gap like a week

before the election you need a good

solid

month and that means by the middle of

October the polls should be close to

something like reality and then we're

going to find out some interesting stuff

like who's ahead we'll see if your

anecdotal sense of things makes a

difference now I didn't mention this

before but uh Bill M on Friday said that

he can't tell what's true anymore

because he reads one source that says

crime is up and another source that says

it's down and you can't tell and he's

getting very close to my opinion the all

data is

fake but I would ask you this on the

question of whether the crime is up or

down what's it feel

like if you ignore the news just ignore

the news like the news never happened

your own life my neighborhood has been

burgled three times in the last 18

months that's never happened before

there was a somebody you know gunned

down in in front of a uh Home Depot in

my town I think it was a year or so ago

but that was unusual like we don't get

that kind of gun violence usually it's

you know somebody who knows somebody

pretty well but not a not a random

shooter so my experience is that crime

is way up and then when I see pictures

of the sidewalks in the major cities I

say well looks like crimes way up and I

see the Sentinel deaths are you know

higher than ever and I say looks to me

like crimes up so if you can't tell what

the data is telling

you you might want to ignore the news

and just look at your own situation

because remember the news is is pushing

narrative on both sides it's not like

one side's honest and the other's a

narrative both sides are pushing a

narrative if if it feels like it's more

dangerous where you are it probably is

you're probably right about that so I'd

go with that does seem that that the

crime is worse in some ways there might

be some categories where it's

not all

right

um it's a fact of life all

right now it was an Oakland resident who

killed the guy at the Home Depot it was

not the people waiting to be picked up

to

work um the lived experience yeah you

can use it yourself the lived experience

all right people that's all I got I'm

going to talk to the uh subscribers on

locals privately the rest of you I'll

see you same time tomorrow thanks for

joining on X and Rumble and YouTube bye

for now and locals coming at you in 30
