Good morning, everybody. I'll give you a Dilbert Reborn comic that you can read while everybody's streaming in. You might be happy to know that Bob the dinosaur is making a reappearance this week. And in this comic, which you can only see if you're a subscriber at ScottAdams.locals.com, where you can get that comic plus a whole bunch of political stuff that you might not care about. So if you don't care about the political stuff and you just want the comic, you can get the comic by subscribing on the X platform.

But here we've got Bob the dinosaur talking to Dogbert, and Bob says, "I took a DNA test to see if I have any living relatives." Then Bob continues, "It turns out I'm related to a bird from across town. We got together last night. Then I killed him because I didn't like the direction he was evolving." And Dogbert says, "You have good stories."

So in case you're looking for more Dilbert comics, that's where you can find them.

Good morning, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time in your life. This is the weekend edition because lazy people take the weekend off. Not me. Not me. I'm here every day. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Go.

Oh man, so good I can barely stand it.

Well, here's some more science that could have saved a lot of money just by asking me. You didn't need to do a study, but they did a study to find out that if you keep your brain challenged and you do lots of mentally difficult activities, that your brain will be healthier into old age. Huh. I wonder who you could have asked. Oh, you could have asked me, because it turns out that your brain is like the rest of your body. The more you use it, the better it is.

I find that my brain stops working after about two days off of work. One of the reasons, and this is true by the way, one of the reasons that I don't like not working any given day is if I take a day off from working, I actually find it harder to work the next day. Meaning that if I take a few days off from writing a comic, it's hard. Two days off and suddenly you just forget. That little muscle, it's almost like taking time off from exercise. So yes, you should be looking for something that keeps your brain active in your older years. It'll make a big difference. I feel as if I can feel the difference. It's such a difference that you can actually feel it. It's not just hypothetical.

Well, according to Science Alert, there's a study that found that omega-3 supplements reduce aggression by up to 28 percent, and fairly immediately. So if you give somebody omega-3, which is a common supplement, one that I use actually, it will reduce your aggression.

Now my question to you is this. How many times will science need to prove to you that free will is an illusion before you're going to believe me? What does it say about free will if you can take a common supplement and it changes your behavior radically? Where's your free will? If you had free will, a supplement wouldn't make any difference. It's the supplement that's making the decision for you. It's not you. You're just an observer.

Once you realize you're just an observer in life, it does take a lot of pressure off. One of my favorite reframes is to tell myself I'm just an observer and I can't control anything. Because sometimes when things are going wrong you think, oh, I must do things differently to fix this. But maybe there's nothing you can do. So I just tell myself I'm an observer. My body is just going where I observe it, and it's almost like a hobby to watch what happens.

All right, just calling up my comments here. Nope, that's not it. I want to make sure I'm looking at the locals comments. Now it would be great if locals put the content in the order that it happens instead of completely out of order. Don't know why it does that. Probably because I think I'm pinning things. I'm wrong.

All right, we won't have an argument about free will. I know you love that one.

According to Zero Hedge, food prices might be jumping up again because of supply chain problems and conflicts in the world and everything else. But apparently the biggest increase is in sugar, which is in a lot of things, and certain oils. I'm sure this sugar is just Satan at this point. Do you think if you just said all right, sugar is Satan, everything would make sense? I think that sugar is why we have every health problem, probably every chronic health problem that's not caused by maybe fertilizer or something or weed killers or something. I think sugar is just the thing that's making all the other chronic problems worse. So now it's making your inflation worse too. Sugar is the devil.

All right, here's another one you should have asked me. So Psychology Today says there's a new study that says when kids play with dogs it releases the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is that hormone that we seek the most. It's the one that makes you feel good and like life is okay and somebody loves you and you're connected to the world. It's really a good chemical to have working for you. And kids can get it from playing with dogs. Well, you could have saved some money on this study because the day before I read about the results of the study, literally this is not an exaggeration, I was curled up on the floor yesterday talking to my dog while I hugged her. And I was explaining to her that I was boosting our oxytocin. Literally I was talking out loud like with real words to my dog yesterday. And today I find out somebody spent money on a survey or a study to find out what I knew laying on the floor with a dog. So you just should have asked me. I could have told you.

And by the way, you feel it. Have you ever had the experience where you just curl up with a cat on your lap or a dog and you just feel that little extra warm comfort? That's the oxytocin. That's what that is. So once you learn to recognize it, you can tell you're getting it from the dog for sure.

Well, according to Slay News, the Harris campaign's taking a big hit from Hispanic support. And apparently she has less support than Biden did, and less support than Obama. Now Harris has less support than Biden. So the Hispanic community is moving quite noticeably toward the Republican side.

Did you need to do a survey about that? No, you did not. Because I believe that one of my better predictions in this world, and I've been saying it for five years, so take yourself back five years. This is way before it was really super obvious that the Hispanic community was moving away from the Democrats. Five years ago that wasn't obvious. And I was telling you, okay, if you don't live among the Hispanic community as I do, I have lots of connections to the immigrant Hispanic community, you would maybe not know that they love their family and they love their God and they're here to work hard and to follow the rules. They're Republicans. They're Republican from top to bottom. And I don't know how you could change them into something else.

Now they might get here and maybe they haven't figured out how everything works in America. So there might be a short time where the Democrats get them registered as a Democrat and that can be a little bit sticky. But once they pay attention a little bit and they see, wait, what are the Republicans offering? What are the Democrats offering? It's kind of a slam dunk. The Democrats are not even close to being competitive to what the Hispanic community that I observe wants out of the world. What they want out of the world is not more trans in school. That's not what the Hispanic community cares about.

So this is one of my better observations, that I think bringing enormous amounts of Hispanic people in through immigration is not going to work out in the long run the way the Democrats hoped. They think that they're bringing in Democrats. I think that's a short-term strategy. Now it could be that if the short-term strategy works they'll gain enough power then nobody can take it back. So it could be that the short-term strategy is all they need to have total complete control forever. But you can tell which way things are moving.

All right, see what else is happening. So the former head of Black Lives Matter from Greater Atlanta, he is going to jail because he was guilty of taking donations that were meant for Black Lives Matter and he used them to travel and buy a home. It makes you wonder, was any of the Black Lives Matter movement real? Any of it? Yeah, I think it was 100 percent fake.

And do you wonder if George Soros knows that? Did he know it at the time and does he care one way or the other? Because it looks like Black Lives Matter might have been used just for political reasons to be anti-Trump. It doesn't really look like anybody was trying to help Black Americans through Black Lives Matter. It doesn't look like the members, or at least the leaders, the members probably were sincere but the leaders were not sincere. And the person who funded it, I doubt they were sincere. So now we know that it was exactly what it looks like.

But the part B of this story is they showed a picture of the former head of Black Lives Matter. And I'm just going to say this about that. After looking at the picture of the former Black Lives Matter, Candace Owens might want to look into his background. I'll just leave it there. You would think that the head of Black Lives Matter should look a little bit more Black than some of the heads of Black Lives Matter look. You should at least look completely Black, you know, not 10 percent. If you look 10 percent Black, okay, I guess the standard is if you want to call yourself Black you're allowed to do that in our big old world. You can identify the way you want. But it's a strange look. I'll just say that. It's a strange look.

There's a new Trump hoax. There's some X ad, and I'm assuming that this is anonymous. I didn't care enough to read the actual story. But the anonymous near the election story is that an X ad says that Trump refused to give California wildfire aid. So when California had the wildfires during Trump's administration he wouldn't give them wildfire aid until somebody told him how many people there voted for him. Does that sound true? Do you think Trump said, I'm not going to give wildfire aid to California until somebody tells me how many of them voted for me? That sounds so hilariously not true. It's exactly the kind of story you expect a few weeks before the election. An anonymous story. Somebody anonymously, yeah no. I don't think that Trump was talking out loud in front of witnesses and suggesting that he wasn't going to give wildfire aid to a place that had too many Democrats. Now that did not happen. I'm sorry I wasn't in the room but that did not happen. So that's the new hoax anyway.

Have I ever told you that all data that matters is fake? Not all data, but anything that matters to policy or to politics, it's all fake. Engineers sometimes have real data, right? If you're measuring the fault rate of machines that's probably real. There's a good chance you got that right. But the political stuff that goes to policy and who's in charge and where the money goes, none of that's true. You can count on none of that being true. Just none of it.

Now I know I can't sell that you're not ready for it because we're all being sort of slowly blackpilled into understanding the real system that we live in. It's really, really hard to wrap your head around none of it being real because you're pretty sure that at least the stuff that agrees with you is real, right? Well that stuff must be real because it agrees with how you feel. No, none of it's real. Now some of it might be accidentally accurate but it would be just an accident.

Here's an example. So I wasn't keeping up with this story but apparently the Biden-Harris administration paused LNG exports. Now LNG would be the liquefied natural gas. It's a gigantic energy market. And apparently there was some pause because there was some study that said that the LNG was worse for the environment than coal. And then somebody said yeah but you did the numbers wrong and you got some wrong assumptions and the data is wrong. And so what's true? So the administration at least maybe temporarily, they're accused of maybe changing their policy because of this study. And then somebody said no, it's none of it's true.

That is the world we live in now. Is the study wrong? I wouldn't know. Would you? Maybe the people who say the study's wrong are the ones that are wrong. But my point is sometimes the studies or the data will be correct but it's never going to be credible. So you still can't use it or you still can't trust it. You can use it but you can't trust it.

Here's some more data that is fake. The data might be real but the interpretation may be fake. So you know that the lawyer representing over 120 victims of the Diddy party situation, so there's a lawyer, he's got a hundred clients that are going to try to get money I guess from some kind of reports of bad behavior. But since the lawyer went public with all those people who are going to be complaining and maybe trying to get money, they've received 12,000 phone calls with tips on various bad Diddy behavior. 12,000.

Now here's what you need to know about that. If you took any public figure, even one that wasn't real like Mickey Mouse, I'll use Mickey Mouse as my example because Mickey doesn't exist. If somebody did a press release and said we have 120 complaints that Mickey Mouse was sexually assaulting them, what would be the most obvious thing that would happen after that? Well I think you would get 12,000 phone calls from people who said Mickey Mouse sexually assaulted me too. Can I get in on this?

Yeah. So what you should not interpret from 120 people who got a lawyer to go after Diddy triggering 12,000 phone calls of more reports of Diddy, this will be your toughest challenge for assuming innocent until proven guilty. There are 12,000 reports of guilt and you somehow as a citizen of the United States, if you're playing it right, if you're playing it fair, still innocent. Still innocent.

Now trust me I have the same instinct about this that you do. It feels like he's not innocent. It feels like he's not. But I'm going to try as hard as I can to set a standard here that only the government is guilty from the get-go. They have to prove they're innocent. But citizens, you're really going to have to prove they're guilty. And this doesn't do it. 12,000 phone calls doesn't do it. One lawyer with over a hundred clients doesn't do it. That's not good enough. It might be later. I mean of course after the evidence comes in we'll redecide. But don't decide because so many people said that they were there or saw it. I mean all it is is the anonymous source about Trump times 12,000 basically.

Well speaking of Diddy, I was looking at Netflix for something to watch last night and there's a Netflix documentary about Clive Davis, you know the music mogul guy who made a lot of people rich and made a lot of stars. And I gotta say it was fascinating but it's twice as fascinating now that you know the context of the accusations against Diddy.

Here are some things to look for. And I want to say this very carefully. I'm not aware of any accusations against Clive Davis. So again everybody I mention is innocent unless some court of law says they're not, right? So I'm making no allegations. I'm just saying that if you watch this documentary which is made to be very complimentary to Clive Davis, I assume he was behind the making of it because it's just so complimentary, but you have to watch this with your current context. Everything looks different now. I don't know if the everything looking different is my bias creeping into a story in which there was nothing that was wrong. I don't know.

But some of the things I learned were that I didn't know that Clive Davis had come out as bisexual at some point. So he liked relations with men and women. And in the context of hearing the Diddy allegedly, again we don't know for sure, was allegedly forcing himself on young male people. And then in the documentary we see that Clive Davis discovered Diddy or he was a big part of Diddy's advance and that Diddy saw him as sort of a mentor.

Now again I want to be really clear that I'm making no allegations and I'm not aware of any allegations against Clive Davis. But when you see it in the context it really looks different. But I'll tell you the two creepiest things. There were two references to grooming in the documentary but both references were in reference to grooming musicians. So he would find people who were talented but not famous and he would groom them. And that was the actual word they used. So they used the word groom twice in that documentary. How many documentaries have the word groom in it twice? It's a weird thing.

So again I'm not making any kind of accusations and I'm not aware of any that anybody else was making. But wow does this look different when you put the context of what you think you know about the Diddy story that who knows how much is true.

Well Walter Isaacson says that the script will get flipped next week on October 10th when Elon introduces RoboTaxi and things that operate in the real world. So we've got AI and AI is the subject of several of our biggest companies. So Elon Musk has his version of AI and Google has theirs and Microsoft and OpenAI have theirs etc.

So I didn't realize this but maybe I knew it, that Musk is making his version of AI which is called xAI. He makes it open source whenever he releases the new version. So when he releases the new version he makes the version just before that open source for competitive reasons. Maybe he wants to not make the new one open but then he reveals it.

So here's my observation. So you're Elon Musk and you are really good at business models and making stuff work. He's making his model open source. What's that going to do to AI as a valuable commodity in the future? Shouldn't it bring it down to a commodity? Are we building the world's most expensive new technology with these multi-billion dollar chip-based data centers and building nuclear power plants just to power them? And that when you're done, because there's a version of the same thing you just made with all of your billions of dollars, there's a free one over here that's open source. Don't they all become worth nothing because the competition is free? Well here's a free one.

So I suspect that you need all the billions of dollars to build the thing but once you've built it how much smarter is it ever going to get? In other words when you reach the point where it can't get much smarter and it's already absorbed the total knowledge and language patterns of all conversations that happened before and then it can also search the internet and maybe update itself once in a while, aren't you done? Like there's some point where there's nothing left to train it on and then it becomes a commodity, doesn't it?

But suppose you're Elon Musk and you know that the AI is not just going to be on your phone, it's also going to be in your robot and it's going to be in your RoboTaxi that will drive itself when you call it. And here's the thing. If Musk can through making the previous versions open source, if any of that turns out to make AI by itself a commodity, meaning that's the economic word for meaning it's not worth much, you wouldn't pay much for it, but he also is the best American manufacturer of complicated things. So he can make a car, he can I guess they could make their satellites wherever they make them, and he can make a robot.

So if he makes a RoboTaxi and robots, nobody who's also making AI can compete with him because the part they'll be selling will be the commodity that's worth nothing eventually. The part he's selling will be the super valuable part because Americans can't manufacture but he can. So what is Microsoft going to do if they've developed this AI that's really cool but everybody else makes one and they're all the same and maybe one of them has less censorship so you like it better? I don't know. It seems to me that Musk may have developed one of the best competitive models you'll ever see, which is going to get the AI spend his billions but he'll have robots to put it in and that's the secret sauce. I don't know. We'll see. I don't see Microsoft competing with him on manufacturing. So what are they going to have to sell eventually? Good question.

Well Politico is mentioning what we've all been thinking, that the hurricane Helene since it hit some states that are important to the election electorally speaking, and they also have more Republicans than Democrats, especially Georgia and North Carolina. Politico saying it could change the election result, meaning that there'll be fewer Republicans who can get to the polls. And it happens to be in some of the most important states. And since the elections are always close this could be the difference. It could, the actual hurricane is the difference between who wins the election.

Now that brings us to question number two, which is is FEMA and the Biden administration doing enough or is there any regard to maybe they're not doing enough because they don't want to do enough? In other words are any decisions being made at the leadership level that are making it less likely that Republicans will recover fast enough to vote?

Now we're seeing lots of reports that I don't consider completely credible yet because it's still fog of war. So we're seeing lots of reports of just horrible, horrible behavior by FEMA but also reports that the reports of the horrible behavior are fake. It's way too early to know what's going on. Are there terrible inefficiencies in the system? Well almost certainly. But I imagine that always looks that way. If you could see everything that's happening during a disaster recovery I imagine there would be all kinds of pockets of what looks like incompetence and poor communication. Probably kind of normal because if you go into any war, or you've heard the old thing about your battle plan only lasts until the first bullet is fired and then after that you got to scramble to figure it out. Or I think Mike Tyson says that your strategy for the boxing match goes away after the first punch. I feel like disaster recovery is like that. You got a great plan but then you get there, you go 130 substations for the network are gone and all of our communication. Now what do we do?

So I can't tell from a distance that FEMA is failing or should have done something differently. We can tell for sure that a lot of people are not getting served. It's a little different because there might be some natural obstacles that are just unique to this case. The massive amount and the widespread electrical problem taking out all communication means you can't even find the people who need help. So there's something about this one that's different than a lot of different recoveries. So it looks like incompetence at a level that you almost think is intentional.

How many of you would go so far as to say that based on what you've seen so far in the news or even other reports it looks intentional? Does anybody feel that way? That the incompetence looks like an intentional incompetence because they don't want to really help the Republicans. I don't see it. So let me see directly on a factual basis. I don't see support for that theory factually. Will your election depend on facts? No. As others have said this is a vibe election. If you think the vibe of one team is better than the vibe of the other you're going to vote for the good vibe.

But let me tell you the vibe that white people are getting. And I can't speak for all white people but you can see my post. I posted today and you'll see if people are agreeing or not. So you can determine it yourself. But I'll tell you the vibe I'm getting. It feels like the Democrats have gone from over discrimination against white Americans in the form of DEI and ESG, very overt obvious racial discrimination, to actually killing white people and replacing them with immigrants.

Now is that a factual statement? No, no it is not. Did I say it was a factual statement? Nope, nope. There I'm making no claim of fact because I don't see the facts. But let me tell you how it feels as a white person in America. It feels like they're murdering us because they got away with everything else so far and why wouldn't they? It feels like they're murdering us. It feels like we're literally targeted for murder.

Now again let me be very careful. That's not what's happening. That is not happening. That is not factually happening. They're not targeting us for murder so they can win the election. But it feels like it. It feels like it. Now does the fact that I am quite aware that there's no factual support for that, does it change how I feel? No it doesn't. Because the pattern that's been created by all of the other activities the last several years looks very much like an anti-white long-term trend to which everything is folding under. So the vibe is not like anything I've ever felt before. Now it looks like it feels like extermination. It isn't. It isn't. And there's no factual basis for that. But goddamn it feels like it. How many of you feel the same way? Do any of you feel like we've turned some corner here? And the hurricane, like again this is a false signal. I would be super surprised if we ever learned that anything about the hurricane had something to do with politics. I don't believe that that's true. But damn it feels like it. It just feels like it.

And so I'm not trying to convince you to feel like it. I don't think that's helpful. But I just think you probably do. And if you don't think that that's going to change people's behavior in voting I think you're wrong. I think that Republicans and white Republicans in particular are voting for their life. And I think that Black Americans suddenly got a tap on the shoulder. It's like you know the massive immigration that's not good for you and your side's doing it and that's not good for you. And I think that Black Americans see it too. So it's not like any of this is based on race. It feels like it's political and they don't care what race they have to manipulate. Could be Blacks, could be whites. They just need the power.

So I think that's why you're going to see a lot more Black Americans joining white Americans to say what are you doing? It doesn't even look like you're on the team America. Whatever you're doing it looks like it's designed to destroy the country. And I think anecdotally people are seeing that.

Nicole Shanahan said she was shocked by the intolerance of the Democrats that she used to be. Because when she left the Democrats to become independent, apparently the people that were friends and people who respected her just turned. So it became socially and business-wise she just became poison as soon as she turned away from the Democrats. Now keep in mind that she didn't turn away from the Democrats to Trump right away. She turned to the most Democrat family member you could ever have which was Kennedy. And that was enough to be like excommunicated forever. And you know she was basically dead to her friends and business people.

Now here's the thing that I take away from that. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not a historian. The people who got on the Mayflower, the original pilgrims, correct me if I'm wrong but did they not risk their lives to get on that ship to cross an ocean under the worst conditions to get away from this? Right, America was founded by people trying to get away from this. It's the same. The same are telling you how to live, how to think. Yeah it's the same. They're trying to take away your free speech. They're very pointedly trying to do that. They're trying to get rid of all your freedoms very clearly. Yeah. And if you don't think this is 1776, if you don't think this is time for whatever blood it is that makes Americans Americans to get our act together and realize that we came here to get away from this and we're not going to let this happen again, men, men, men, can you get it together and vote?

And guess somebody signed up. If you're a man in America and you haven't gotten at least one other man to sign up to vote to save this country you're not a man. Step up men. Step up. This is the real thing by the way. This is not a drill. This is the real thing. Don't fuck around. It's time to step up.

All right, this is interesting trend-wise. There are now at least four companies that are looking at nuclear power just for their own data centers because AI is going to take so much. Amazon just bought a nuclear powered data center. Now I did not know that a nuclear powered data center existed so this must be in another country. I don't know where that is. Oracle building some data center that'll be powered by three nuclear power, small nuclear power plants. And Microsoft is looking at Three Mile Island to turn it back on the parts that still work. And Google is looking at nuclear power as well. So your biggest companies are looking at having their own nuclear power.

Now look at these four companies: Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft and Google. Do they have enough clout to force the government to let's say be smarter about their regulatory environment for nuclear? Yes they do. If you just waited for the government to say you know what we've been looking at our regulations and you know we think we should reduce a few of these, nothing's going to happen. Our government does what it's paid to do. Let's be honest. It does what it's paid to do. And I don't mean paid to do what the people want. I mean paid by donors, special interests. You know the government does what it's paid to do.

So now that we have our biggest richest companies who absolutely positively no doubt about it need nuclear energy or they're just going to pay the government to get rid of the regulations so they can do it. Problem solved. If you believe our government is as corrupt as I do then the only way you can remove regulations is that gigantic companies who have the money to bribe anybody just bribe people to get rid of the regulations so they can go on with their business.

I think at this point if you don't own some stock in the nuclear power companies you might look back and say why didn't I see that coming. And by the way I should note I do own stock in an index fund of nuclear power companies for this reason. And I also, I should have mentioned, I do own some stock in Tesla. Every once in a while I should have mentioned to you that I own stock in some of the companies I mentioned. I've got some Microsoft stock. I don't have any Amazon or Oracle except in index funds.

All right, there's a new video of Kamala Harris. People are saying that her teleprompter glitched. It looked like it. I'm not sure that's the answer but NN is only one of the companies. I've got a different one I'll tell you about later. So she's talking along at her rally and maybe the teleprompter glitched and she just started saying "32 days until" something. "Ah 32. Ah at 32." And you can even see the panic in her eyes. And I was trying to say could you imagine the teleprompter goes out and let's say it's Vivek Ramaswamy. Is that a problem? No no. Vivek can do an hour without a teleprompter. He could do two hours without a teleprompter. Let's say it's RFK Jr. and the teleprompter goes out. Is he in trouble? No no. RFK Jr. can talk for two hours without a teleprompter and it will all be brilliant. If Trump is giving his talk and his teleprompter it goes out, which I think has happened actually, what happens is he panicked? No he does standup comedy and it gets better. The crowd likes it better, right?

So you could go right down the line. If JD Vance lost his teleprompter is he in trouble? No no. JD Vance can talk for two hours without a teleprompter and it all makes sense. But Kamala Harris couldn't do it. And we're actually looking at her as maybe a president. You realize that in the fullness of time it will seem hilarious that this was ever close. It's only because the brainwashing operation from the government is so powerful that they've convinced people that this should be a close race. This one really shouldn't be.

And by the way I do think that most elections I can completely understand why they're close. When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton I had a strong preference but Hillary Clinton is very capable and very smart and very experienced. When she ran for office this isn't like that. This is not that. It made sense that Hillary Clinton was very close in the polls to Trump. This doesn't make sense. I don't know how unreal our environment can become but we've really reached some kind of new level of are we supposed to believe this that this election is close? No thank you. I choose not to believe it.

There's a new deepfake. This one's clever because it purported to be some kind of hidden camera thing where the face of the person talking was concealed. But when you listen to the words since you can't see a mouth moving because the face is blurred out, the words sound to me like AI or some actor. But it's the alleged person is suggesting that Kamala Harris is the owner of the cocaine that was found in the White House. I would give zero credibility to that. And if you couldn't tell that was a deepfake you need to be a little more cautious.

Do you know how many people couldn't tell it was a deepfake? 2.1 million have viewed it so far. Over 2 million people viewed it and a lot of them reposted it. So this is really dangerous because in my mind it was obviously fake but to a lot of people it wasn't.

And what is it about it? Let me test you. What is it about it even without seeing it so you don't have to see it to answer this question. All you have to know is the topic. What made people believe it when it obviously looked like it was fake? What made people believe it? Because they wanted to. It was a fun recreational story that if you could make a case that it was Kamala Harris's cocaine in the White House, and again I'm aware of no evidence of that whatsoever, it's only based on a fake video, it would be fun to believe and it would be compatible with maybe some of your prior beliefs. It's just a bias.

So the deepfakes you have to worry about are not the one, this is my learning, my key learning here is that you don't have to worry just about them looking real. This one didn't look real and it's still sold because it was compatible with what people wanted to believe. So the key lesson here is the deepfake just has to agree with what people are already thinking and they will completely be oblivious to how poorly you made it. I hate to say that's true but you can see it in this one especially.

Anyway there's a whole bunch of conversation about the FEMA budget. People on the right say that FEMA gave tons of money to settling or helping migrants and therefore they're running out of money to help in the current hurricane situation. FEMA would say and Democrats would say nothing like that happened. Those were different budgets and different buckets and we never spent the money for the hurricane stuff. It was just a different bucket blah blah blah. Then Republicans would say something like there's no such thing as different buckets. If FEMA doesn't have enough and you gave half a billion to something else then logically that was half a billion that could have been available but isn't.

Is that a good argument? I'm going to go with both of them are full of shit. So I'm going to say I can't back either argument because they both look like they're lying. So I don't believe the Democrats when they say oh it's a different bucket. But I also don't believe the Republicans when they say that's the reason that there's not enough money or even that there isn't enough money. The White House says there is enough. We're giving them everything they want. So I think both sides are lying on this story or mistaken. No I won't say lying. I'll say mistaken or they're adapting a version that's compatible with their preconceived notions. Let's say I don't know what to believe on that but I don't like it.

There was a story that the FEMA was blocking private flights and helicopters from bringing stuff in. Elon Musk got into it on the X platform because people were contacting him and saying we've got this stuff but they won't let us deliver it. And then Pete Buttigieg weighed in and said that's not true. Nobody's blocking any flights. And then Musk tried to get in touch with him and did. And Buttigieg was successful in expediting the approval of the flights. In other words Buttigieg was not aware that there was something that needed to be expedited.

Now is that a giant failure of FEMA or Buttigieg? Yes yes yes it was a giant failure. But I'm going to put some context on it. In the context of this big operation with so many moving parts it's not that unusual that the top person or persons are not getting the information from the bottom persons. That's not unusual. So my guess is that Buttigieg literally didn't know it was a problem until he fixed it. It was the fixing it that guaranteed it was a problem because there was something to fix. So even Buttigieg says you know that he expedited. You don't expedite during an emergency unless something's broken, right? Because the expediting is what the emergency response is. The entire emergency response is an expedited response. So if he has to go in and expedite the thing that should have been expedited, something was broken. But he did fix it so we'll give him that, right?

I tend to be very very generous in my scoring during a disaster because you know people are just doing the best they can and I think they are doing the best they can.

According to The Hill a Georgia judge has tossed out a lawsuit about voting machines because the judge says that the alleged holes in the voting machine process are purely hypothetical. So some security risks were presented to a Fulton County judge in Georgia and the judge said you have not made your case that these weaknesses in the system are purely hypothetical.

Now here's what you should learn from this. If you have a computer or you have a company you might be worried about the cyber security of your company or your own computer. If you're worried about the cyber security of your company you should see a judge. No no no. Some of you were saying no why wouldn't I talk to a cyber expert? No you don't need a cyber expert to tell you who can and cannot hack a machine. No you need a judge. Somebody went to law school. They're the ones who can tell you if the security problems in your machine are purely hypothetical or the real kind you need to worry about.

So don't worry people. Don't worry. A judge says that hackers can't get into the machines. No a judge said it. Stop complaining. A judge said it. Can't do it.

Have you heard about the event where the hackers get all the newest, well I don't know if they're the newest, they get all the voting machines in one room and then they hack them and they hack everyone every time. They're all hacked. But the judge says these particular machines, no problem. It's only hypothetical. So I don't trust that.

Have I told you that all data that matters is fake? And the closer you get to an election the more fake it is.

Well here are three takes. Remember you saw the report that the jobs are looking great and the jobless rate is under control. What was the first thing you said to yourself when you saw that the job numbers look great right before the election? Well you probably said what I said. These numbers aren't real. Do you know who else said these numbers don't look real? I think it was Bloomberg and CNBC. So both Bloomberg and CNBC when they saw the job numbers said uh no.

So this is one of those situations where you really have to divide the world into people with experience in the real world and people who are inexperienced. Suppose you're 25 years old. You're trying to decide who to vote for and the numbers come out that says the jobs are great and that may be the thing you care about the most especially if you're looking to work your way up through the employment world. So you're 25 and you see that the jobs are just killing it. You're going to vote for a Democrat.

But if you happen to be experienced, let's say you're over 50 and you've seen how the real world works, you've seen how numbers are always weird when it gets to the election and you know that they're usually revised and often revised in a major way downward but after the fact. If you had experience in the real world and those numbers came out you said what CNBC and Bloomberg said. Uh no no these are not real numbers.

So I have that kind of experience. So as soon as I saw it I didn't need to consult with Bloomberg. I didn't need to consult with CNBC. They did not need to consult with anybody either. Because if you have a certain amount of experience in the real world you just look at those numbers and you shake your head. You go no no I've been saying the same thing about science measuring the temperature of the earth. People in the business world tend to give scientists like their own space as in the scientists are somehow immune from all the things that make every other number fake. They're not immune. It's exactly the same. If it's a political domain such as climate change their numbers are as real as the job numbers meaning that it's all motivated numbers. You can't trust any of it. So that's the difference between being experienced and not experienced.

So you can sell climate change to young people because they do not yet know that all the important data is fake. They don't know that. But once you know that everything that matters to policy and to money is fake or at least you shouldn't trust it then everything looks different suddenly.

All right so there are three different arguments at least why it's fake. So one of them is that the raw number might be realish but the people who got the jobs are coming in from other countries and the people who got the jobs are mostly government hiring. So there was massive government hiring. Oh that's a big coincidence right before the election. And there was a lot of people took part-time jobs. So basically the jobs numbers even if the data was correct the way you would interpret it could be opposite of the number. So the interpretation would be hey jobs are way up. Good news everybody. Great job Democrats. Or let's look at the details of these numbers. Wait a minute all the jobs went to people who were not even citizens who just came in the country this year. Oh that's the worst thing in the world. Well it's not the worst thing in the world but it's bad. So you can't even tell if the job report is good or bad for somebody who's a citizen. That's how bad our data is. You can't even tell.

Well CNN's Harry Enten is talking about the poll results on CNN and he says quote so there's no historical precedent for the White House party winning another term in the White House when just 28 percent of the country think we're on the right track. And said simply put it would be historically unprecedented.

Huh. So under the current conditions if Kamala Harris was judged the winner on Election Day Harry Enten of CNN has told us that we shouldn't believe it was real. Am I misinterpreting this? Harry Enten is saying that it would be unprecedented and there would be no history of this ever happening in the United States for somebody with such a low rating for being on the right track would ever get reelected. So doesn't that automatically mean that if Harris does get judged the winner on Election Day that a reasonable citizen would say there must be fraud because this is so far under the historical norm that we can't certify this, right? Am I wrong?

Now one of the reasons that people didn't believe the 2020 election is that there, I believe you have to give me a fact check on this but I think there were some bellwether situations, you know places where the vote always goes a certain way and you can rely on it, where it didn't. And only in the kind of critical places where it made a difference. To me that's pretty good evidence of fraud. It's not proof. It's not proof. But I would say if Harry Enten has told us a few weeks before the election then nobody can get elected with these numbers and then they do, how am I supposed to interpret that? How am I supposed to interpret that somebody gets elected with numbers that you can't get elected with? Do we say well I guess history certainly surprised us this time? I might but it's far more likely I'm going to suspect something was wrong with the election.

Well I would say the rigging has already begun and maybe is already done and has determined that Harris will win.

So the Amuse account which is really high value account on X, if you're not following the account on X called Amuse, just one word Amuse, you're missing some of the best independent reporting. I mean it's a level above anything you're going to see on TV news. And I don't even know who's behind it exactly because it's sort of anonymous. But I get some of my best stuff just from that one account on X. Amuse. The other one that's similarly good is George. Follow those two. George is great. I don't know who's backing George but wow he's got quite an operation going.

So here's what we know. So we know we've got the potential election weakness because if you're voting overseas you don't need to show that you're a citizen. You don't need to show your address or even your ID. And here's what the Amuse account tells us. That between 2016 and 2020 that there was a big increase in non-military overseas ballots. So I guess we can tell fairly easily how many military people are overseas and that number stayed about the same but the non-military people skyrocketed in numbers of people who voted in 2020. Why would that be? Did a lot of people move overseas between 2016 and 2020 for non-military reasons? I'm not aware of that.

And of those votes coming in that were just the overseas ones that are non-military, how many of them do you think voted for Biden in Fulton County and Maricopa? Those are the ones that we have the most questions about. Well according to Amuse the Fulton County numbers, the votes for Biden that came in from this suspicious overseas unverified bunch of voters, that 100 percent of them went for Biden. 100 percent. Now you know that's not possible, right? That is proof of rigging. That's not a suspicion. That would be proof. That would be proof.

How about Maricopa? 74 percent for Biden. Do you think there's anybody from you know you could take any group of Maricopa people and get 74 percent for Biden? No. Now these numbers if they're true, remember data is always suspicious but if it's true then we know exactly one of the big sources of cheating. So if you're wondering hey was there cheating in 2020? Yeah there it is. There it is. If the data is true. If the data is true I would call that citizen level proof. Meaning that I don't know what a court would say because a court would probably need you to track down every vote and check the ID and stuff like this. But on a citizen level like what do you and I decide is evidence versus proof. To me this is proof if the data is true, right? I'll still put an if on it. You always have to wonder if the data sources are good. But if the data is true yeah this is proof that the election was rigged and that they plan to do it again.

There's an FBI whistleblower according to the Gateway Pundit that says the FBI is planning to have their own agents undercover, I think undercover I'm not sure they said undercover, but they would be monitoring the Maricopa County polling stations to monitor the Trump voters. You thought I was going to say the FBI was going to monitor the election to make sure the election was fair, right? No they're going to monitor the monitors. They're going to monitor the Republicans.

Now let's game this out. Let's say you are an attorney and an election monitor. You've been trained by the Lara Trump, Whatley group and you're trained to be a good observer. And suddenly you see something that looks suspicious and you go to everybody and say hey hey I'm an observer this is suspicious. You know we need to keep an eye on this or whatever we need to do. What happens then? Well the Democrats of course push back and they push and they push but it's kind of a fair fight. You've got some attorneys that are trained to do this so that's pretty powerful. But the Democrats are going to push back hard and they're pretty powerful. So at least you got a fair fight. Okay so that's the situation without the FBI there.

Now imagine the same situation but the FBI there are to make sure the observers don't get out of hand. So the observers say hey hey we just saw something in that batch. You got to stop everything till we look at it. Democrats say no no no. And then the FBI walks in says what are you talking about? And the Republicans say this batch looks bad. Can you help us? You know we'll make sure this one's guarded. And then the FBI says nah I think it looks fine. The Democrats say it looks fine. And then what does the lawyer do? The trained lawyer observer do? Well the trained lawyer observer is outranked now because you're not going to not do what the FBI tells you if you're a lawyer. I mean most lawyers. So to me it looks like they're just adding muscle so that the Democrats can hide anything they want and the observers won't have enough clout to make sure that they can check it when it needs to get checked.

So to me it looks like now you could say but Scott this is not proven in any court. No I'm as a citizen I'm using my own standards for what I would consider proven versus alleged or hypothetical. To me if you put the FBI in there to watch only the Trump observers that would be a rigged election in at least in that way it would be rigged.

Now keep in mind this comes from a whistleblower. I don't know if the whistleblower was anonymous. If it's an anonymous whistleblower we'll give it the same treatment as the Trump hoax which is anonymous doesn't count. Anonymous is not evidence. But if he gave his name and we know who he is or he's at least given his name to law enforcement or something maybe. So keep an eye on that one.

Mark Andreessen, famous investor in Silicon Valley, one of the big names there, he teaches us something called the iron law of oligarchy. I've never heard this before but it matches what I've believed. And it says that so there's something called the iron law of oligarchy and what it says is that all forms of organizations no matter how democratic will turn into oligarchies. Thus democracy is practically and theoretically impossible.

Yes that is correct. If you have a democracy in a free market it's inevitable and unavoidable that some people will succeed more than others. So far you all agree that's just what a free market is. And then once those people get rich they will of course look at ways to stay rich and they will look at ways to increase their advantage. And they'll look around at other rich people and say you know if you and I agreed we'd be way more powerful than if it were just one of us. And they don't even need to say the words because they all know what's good for them and it's probably good for you too fat cat. And then suddenly the oligarchies have so much money and power that they start running the show and that democracy becomes just a window covering or something that makes the citizens feel they're participating but really not.

Does that sound like America? Yes yeah that's America. I don't believe there's any such thing as an actual functioning democracy. And if there is it's a temporary thing because yeah to me this is an iron law. I don't believe it's possible to have a long-term democracy republic situation. I think it just devolves into really the fat cats are in charge and the citizens are diverted into thinking the voting makes a difference.

So this is closely related to my observation that no government can survive free speech and that's why we don't have it and never will. Now you thought you had free speech for most of your life but really you only had the free speech to say things that the mainstream would agree with. Otherwise you were in trouble. It didn't have to be the government. So we watched the government using social media platforms and foreign entities to censor things in the United States and it seems to pass the test of not violating the First Amendment. But we don't have free speech. I mean be real. We don't have anything like free speech. Ask Nicole Shanahan. She had free speech, went from being a Democrat to an independent and suddenly the pressure from other citizens because they've been brainwashed by whom, what? Why is it that Nicole Shanahan gets so much bad treatment from Democrats when she leaves the Democrat field? Is it because those Democrats have free will and they thought it out and they thought that was a good way to act? Nope. They have been literally brainwashed to not tolerate certain kinds of speech and so they acted out that way thinking it was their own opinions. It was not their own opinions. They were brainwashed and those opinions were assigned to them.

So as long as your government can control the media it can assign opinions to people. And part of its assignment is that you know here's one of the opinions I'm going to assign to you. Even though we have this thing called free speech you can't say that stuff. So you can't say stuff that's true if it disagrees with what we're trying to push on people like the pandemic situation. And you can't say something that would be bad for somebody because they even made up a thing that the Constitution has something about hate speech. It doesn't. So hate speech is completely legal under First Amendment. But there was a poll that showed that women and especially young women think that the Constitution already makes it illegal to do hate speech. Which makes it really easy for Democrats to blame people for hate speech and then get rid of their speech because they've already convinced two-thirds of women that that's a legal and valid constitutional thing. It's not. It's the opposite. It's not legal or valid to monitor or stop some of your speech if you're the government. If you're the government it's not appropriate.

So here's a reframe that I hadn't heard until this morning that's really breaking my brain. So this is a Mike Benz again. Mike Benz is, I'm gonna say this as clearly as I can, if you're not following Mike Benz you really don't know what's going on because the stuff he does is not in the news and it's so well sourced and so well communicated you end up listening to it and going oh wow I didn't know that.

All right here's one of those. So you know that all these dangerous looking people are coming across the border and you're seeing all these military age looking people from different countries. It's not even one country. It's not Mexico. It's from all over the world. All these military age people. And then we heard that there's a whole bunch of people that are allegedly on the national security list. You know there's something about them that automatically makes them look like a national security risk probably where they came from. And you're saying to yourself how in the world is our government letting this happen?

Well here's a spin. If you haven't heard this this is going to blow your freaking mind. First of all you do know that the United States has for decades and decades tried to control as many other countries as possible to have influence over their government, to do coups, to have protests. So basically America has tried with every mechanism they can from military to financial to covert to control every country we can because the more we control them the more business we can do. So the oligarchy needs control over other countries to get raw materials and also to have markets. So really our CIA is sort of an extension of our commercial enterprises. It just makes sure that they're softening up these markets and the sources of raw materials so that it's good for the free market basically good for America specifically.

So as part of that process there's a lot of training of rebels who might want to take over their own country with American support. So we got 1.7 million migrants who could pose some national security risk according to the GOP Judiciary Committee. And Mike Benz says this and my mind is completely blown by this by the way. You have to listen to this carefully. Mike Benz if you follow my streams you know why. So you know why that all these dangerous men are coming into the country. Yes sometimes it's recklessness and negligence. So a lot of it could just be we have bad borders. But most of the time DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, is importing CIA and Department of Defense backed paramilitary gangs and their families because they're quote our guys in regime change ops in their countries of origin. Haiti, Venezuela, Somalia etc.

Democrats support the military intelligence op on political grounds because they think it's changing the voter demographics while Republicans support the military intelligence op on commercial grounds because this is how you get your cheap labor in other countries and cheap resources.

So here's what I hate about this point of view. It explains everything. It explains everything that I don't know how completely accurate it is. I'm willing to bet based on Mike Benz's credibility that there's some of that in the mix. The question I don't know and he's not giving us an estimate because he wouldn't know either is what percentage of it is our guys. Meaning people that were trying to influence maybe to send them back or maybe because they already did something for us and we're protecting them. But apparently there's some big secret part of why so many men are coming into the country.

Now I would love to think that our CIA and Department of Defense are so capable that the dangerous looking people that are coming in are going to be dangerous on our behalf. That feels like a lot to ask me to accept. I do not believe that our CIA and Department of Defense can bring a million 1.7 million people or whatever the number is, some subset of that, and that they can control that situation. So I don't know. This one blew my mind when I read it. But like I say Benz has high credibility on this topic.

Tucker Carlson had an interesting observation when he was talking about wokeness. He says wokeness is basically just an anti-white racist thing. And one of the ways you can tell that is that Ireland is woke now. Ireland basically was colonized. They weren't colonizers. They weren't a bunch of white colonizers. They were victims. They got colonized. And I don't think they were big on slave ownership. So why is everything going woke in Ireland? What did the Irish do? Doesn't matter as long as they're white. You need less of it apparently.

Now I'm exaggerating a little bit but it was an interesting point. If we can understand why the wokeness in America is driven by the bad behavior of white people in America but then the wokeness still applies to a country where that argument couldn't possibly make sense then it tells you that the argument in America probably is just artificial and that it really is biological and it just has to do with whatever group wants to be more in charge.

Let me tell you I have greatly enjoyed growing up in a country where people who look like me were the majority for a while. It made me feel safer. I feel safer in any group that looks mostly like me. Just natural. Now that would be true for everybody. I think everybody would have that same experience. Now I like diversity. Where I live in California is wonderfully diverse. My neighborhood is wonderfully diverse. I love it. It actually is terrific. But you still feel if everybody's a stranger like if you didn't know them you'd feel safer if everybody looked like you. It's just biological.

So whatever is going on looks to me more like people who are not comfortable with a white majority and they're trying to take down the white people in any way that they can. I don't know that they necessarily intellectualize it that way but I think it's just such a natural mammal impulse that you want more things that look like you and fewer things that look like something else. So that's probably what's happening anyway.

Here's an interesting thing. Liz Harrington reminds us that I've told you this story before. Oh actually this is related to the overseas voting. So at some point there was a request in Pennsylvania from a prior election to audit the 25,000 votes that came in from overseas because remember Pennsylvania was really close. But there were 25,000 votes coming from overseas and Pennsylvania some people were asking to audit that because that may have been the difference and that may have been where all the cheating was. But that was stopped. Who do you think? Of the 25,000 only 3,600 were military which means again it was one of these weird places where there was an unexplained large number of non-military people overseas who voted and didn't need any ID and didn't have to prove that they were citizens and didn't need an address.

Who do you think blocked that? Remember I always tell you that if you only know what the news is you don't know anything. If you know the people and the background of the people then maybe you understand the news. But if you don't know about the people the story doesn't make sense. Let me give you an example. If I just told you that Pennsylvania blocked an audit of the overseas votes from the prior election you'd say to yourself oh well I'm sure they had their reasons. Probably had their reasons. Okay now I'm going to tell you who blocked it. It was then attorney general Josh Shapiro. He's the one who blocked it. Lands differently now doesn't it?

So the guy who blocked the audit was on the short list to be VP. You know we always think we live in a blackmailocracy like everything is based on who knows what about who. You know Shapiro you could go places but not if this audit happens. You know what I mean? If the audit happens you might not be on the short list. If the audit does happen you're going to be on the short list for something really good. So yeah.

The Butler rally as you know is happening tonight I guess it's 5:00 p.m. eastern time and we believe that Elon Musk is going to join. Now I don't know what they've planned in terms of where Elon will be fitting into the proceedings but here's what I hope happens. Fingers crossed. I want to see a SpaceX rocket landing in the field next to the rally like landing you know upright and then I want to see Elon Musk get out of the capsule and then go to the rally. Now I know that's not possible but wouldn't it be cool to show up in your own space rocket? It'd be very cool. That's all I'm saying. It's not going to happen. Maybe you could bring a robot though. Just bring one robot. Come on Elon you can do it. Bring us one robot anyway.

So I'd like to remind you about one of my best predictions of all time. Now I do this not only because I like to brag which I do but because since my show is largely about figuring out how people think and work and then making predictions it's important that I revisit my predictions even if they're wrong. This one happened to be right. I predicted that after Trump lost in 2020 that every day from that point on he would become more popular. So once he reached his depth of unpopularity around January 6 I said every day after that he would become more popular. Here he is. Here he is more popular. So that really was one of my best predictions.

I predicted that if he lost the Republicans would be hunted. I hate that that was right. Now Democrats still think that's not true because they don't get real news but clearly Republicans have been hunted. I mean there's no doubt about that at this point anyway.

Also the head of Hamas's military wing has been killed in a targeted attack by Israel. So they took out the head of the Hamas military wing but also his family at the same time. It looks like he got him at home. Now I'm no terrorist mastermind but I'm going to give a little bit of advice for those who are. If you plan to be an international terrorist or even a local one like Hamas don't work from home. Yeah don't telecommute if you're a terrorist. Far better for you to go to work and maybe sleep in the office until the trouble blows over. You don't really want to go to work and manage your terrorist international terrorist gang and then go home to the family and sit around the dinner table and have dinner. You're going to blow up with your family.

Now how many times have we seen these masterminds of international terrorist groups driving around with their families? I mean it makes sense that people go home to their family but this is the one time you really shouldn't. You really shouldn't go home to your family if you're being hunted by Israel. It just seems like not loving your family enough if you know what I mean.

So I don't want to make jokes about people's death but I will note that when we get all bent out of shape because somebody's celebrating some tragedy that happens in the United States we're not better than that. We're not. We celebrate tragedies that happen in other places if it's somebody we don't like. And unfortunately that's just who humans are. So I'm not happy about it.

All right ladies and gentlemen that completes my prepared remarks.

I think you know that the Dilbert calendar for 2025 is back after taking a year off and now better than ever because you have comics on the back, the Dilbert Reborn, and then the classic ones on the front like they always were. Twice as many comics. And you can only get it at the link at Dilbert.com. You cannot get it in bookstores this time. You used to be able to. You cannot get it on Amazon this time. The only place you can get it is the one link that you'll find on Dilbert.com.

And then of course I've reissued Win Bigly in time for the election because if you want to figure out how could Trump go from January 6 worst of everything to back at the top of the race this will tell you. So this is about persuasion in the context of the 2016 election which will tell you a lot about what tools he's using in the current run and it will allow you to be more powerful and effective in your own life.

All right so get that. That one's at Amazon so you can get that at the normal place. And only in I think it's only on Amazon and maybe in one other bookstore. Maybe at Barnes & Noble I think so anyway.

I'm going to say bye to X and Rumble and YouTube and I'm going to talk to the subscribers on Locals privately. Thanks for joining. You are amazing and fun as always. So Locals I'm coming at you in 30 seconds. It'll take a little bit of time for that change to happen.

good morning everybody I give you a dilber reborn comic that you can read while everybody's streaming in you might be happy to know that Bob the dinosaur is making a reappearance this week and in this comic which you can only see if you're a subscriber at uh Scott adams.

locals.com where you can get that comic plus a whole bunch of political stuff that you might not care about so if you don't care about the political stuff and you just want the comic you can get the comic by subscribing on the xplatform but here we've got Bob the dinosaur talking to dog bird and Bob says I took a DNA test to see if I have any living relatives then Bob continues it turns out I'm related to a bird from across town we got together last night then I killed him because I didn't like the direction he was evolving and dogar says you have good stories so in case you're looking for more Dilbert comics that's where you can find them good morning and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time in your life this is the weekend edition because lazy people take the weekend off not me not me I'm here every day and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tanker chel orstein a canteen Jugger 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 of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go oh man so good I can barely stand it well um here's some more science that could have saved a lot of money just by asking me you didn't need to do a study but they did a study to find out that uh if you keep your brain challenged and you do lots of mentally difficult activities that your brain will be healthier into old age huh I wonder who you could have asked oh you could have asked me because it turns out that your brain is like the rest of your body the better the more you use it the better it is uh I find that my brain stops working after about two days off of work one one of the reasons and this is true by the way one of the reasons that um I don't like not working any given day is if I take a day off from working I actually find it harder to work the next day meaning that if I try to if I take a few days off from uh writing a comic it's hard two days off and suddenly you just forget that little muscle it's almost like you know taking time off from exercise so yes you should be looking for something that keeps your brain active in your older Years it'll make a big difference I feel as if I can feel the difference like it it's such a difference that like you can actually feel it's not just hypothetical well according to science alert there's a study that found that Omega-3 supplements reduce aggression by up to 28% and fairly immediately so if you give somebody omega-3 which is a common supplement one that I use actually uh it will uh reduce your aggression now my question to you is this how many times will science need to prove to you that Free Will is an illusion before you're going to believe me what does it say about free will if you can take a common supplement and it changes your behavior radically where's your free will if you had free will a supplement wouldn't make any difference it's the supplement that's making the decision for you it's not you you're just an observer once you realize you're just an observer in life it does take a lot of pressure off what one of my favorite reframes is uh to tell myself I'm just an observer and I can't control anything because sometimes when things are going wrong you think oh I must do things differently to fix this but maybe there's nothing you can do so I just tell myself I'm an observer my body is just going where I observe it and it's almost like a a hobby to watch what happens all right just calling up my comments here nope that's not it I want to make sure I'm looking at the locals comments now it would be great if locals put the content in the order that it happens instead of completely out of order don't know why it does that probably because I think I'm pinning things I'm wrong all right we won't have an argument about free will I know you love that one according to Zero Hedge food prices might be jumping up again because of uh supply chain problems and conflicts in the world and everything else but apparently the biggest increas is in Sugar which is in a lot of things and certain oils I'm sure this sugar is just Satan at this point do do you think if you just said all right sugar is Satan everything would make sense I think that sugar is why we have you know every every health problem probably every chronic health problem that's not caused by maybe fertilizer or something uh or weed killers or something I think sugar is just the thing that's making all the other chronic problems worse so now it's making your inflation worse too sugar is the devil all right here's another one you should have asked me um so Psychology today says there's a new study that says when kids play with dogs it relases releases the hormone oxytocin oxytocin is that hormone that we seek the most it's it's the one that makes you feel good and like life is okay and somebody loves you and you're connected to the world it's really a good chemical to have working for you and kids can get it from playing with dogs well you could have saved some money on this study because the day before I read about the results of the study literally this is not an exaggeration I was curled up in the floor yesterday talking to my dog while I huged her and I was explaining to her that I was boosting our oxytocin literally I literally was talking out loud like with real words to my dog yesterday and today I find out somebody spent money on a survey or a study to find out what I knew laying on the floor with a dog so you just should have asked me I could have told you and by the way you feel it have you ever had the experience where you just you you curl up with a cat on your lap or a or a dog and you just feel that little extra warm comfort that's the oxytocin that's what that is so once you learn to recognize it you can tell you're getting it from from the dog for sure well according to slay news the Harris campaign's taking a big hit from Hispanic support and apparently she has less support than Biden did and less support than he had less support than I think Obama and now Harris is has less support than Biden so the Hispanic Community is moving quite you know noticeably toward the Republican side did you need to do a survey about that no you did not because I believe that one of my better predictions in this world and I've been saying it for five years so think about take yourself back five years so this is way before it was really super obvious that the Hispanic Community was moving away from the Democrats five years ago that wasn't obvious and I was telling you okay if you don't live among the the Hispanic Community as I do I have you know lots of connections to the Immigrant Hispanic Community uh you would maybe not know that they love their family and they love their God and they're here to work hard and to follow the rules they're Republicans they're republican from top to bottom and I don't know how you could change them into something else now they might get here and you know maybe they haven't figured out how everything works in America so there might be a short time where the Democrats get them registered as a Democrat and that can be a little bit of sticky but once they pay attention a little bit and they see what wait what are the Republicans offering what are the Democrats offering it's it's kind of a slam dunk the Democrats are not even close to being competitive to what the Hispanic community that I observe wants out of the world what they want out of the world is not more trans in school that's not what the Hispanic Community cares about so this is one of my you know better observations that I think bringing enormous amounts of Hispanic people in through immigration is not going to work out in the long run the way the Democrats hoped that they think that they're bringing in Democrats I think that's a short-term strategy now it could be that if the short-term strategy Works they'll gain enough power then nobody can take it back so it could be that the short-term strategy is all they need to have total complete control forever but you can tell which way things are moving all right see what else is happening um the so the former head of black lives matter from Greater Atlanta he is going to jail because he was guilty of taking donations that were meant for black lives matter and he use them uh to travel and buy a home it makes you wonder was any of the black lives matter movement real any of it yeah I think it was 100% fake and do you wonder if George Soros knows that did he know it at the time and does he care one way or the other because it looks like black lives matter might have been used just for political reasons to be anti-trump it doesn't really look like anybody was trying to help black Americans through black lives matter it doesn't look like the members or at least the leaders the members probably were sincere but the leaders were not sincere and the person who funded it I doubt they were sincere so now we know that it was exactly what it looks like but the uh sub the part B of this story is they showed a picture of the former head of black lives matter and uh I'm just going to say this about that after looking at the picture of the former black lives matter ctis Owens might want to look into his background I'll just leave it there you know you you would think that the head of black lives matter should look a little bit more black than some of the heads of the black lives matter look you should at least look completely black you know not 10% if if you look 10% black okay I guess the standard is if you want to call yourself black you're allowed to do that in our big old world you can identify the way you want but it's a strange look I'll just say that it's a strange look there's a new Trump hoax uh there's some XA and I'm assuming that this is anonymous I didn't care enough to read the actual story but the Anonymous near the election story is that an x a says that Trump refused to give California wildfire Aid so when California had the wildfires during Trump's Administration he wouldn't give them Wildfire aid until um somebody told him how many people there voted for him does that sound true do you think Trump said uh I'm not going to give Wildfire Aid to California until somebody tells me how many of them voted for me that sounds so hilariously not true it's exactly the kind of um exactly the kind of story you expect a few weeks before the election an anonymous story somebody anonymously yeah no I don't think that Trump was talking out loud in front of witnesses and suggesting that he wasn't going to give Wildfire Aid to a place that had too many Democrats now that did not happen I'm sorry I wasn't in the room but that did not happen so that's the new hoax anyway uh have I ever told you that all data that matters is fake not all data but anything that matters to policy or to politics it's all fake Engineers sometimes have real data right if you're measuring the fault rate of machines that's probably real there's a good chance you got that right but the political stuff that goes to policy and who's in charge and where the money goes none of that's true you can count on none of that being true just none of it now I know I can't sell that you're not ready for it because we're all being sort of slowly blackpilled into understanding the real system that we live in it's really really hard to wrap your head around none of it being real because you're pretty sure that at least the stuff that agrees with you is real right well that stuff must be real because it agrees with how you feel no none of it's real now some of it might be accidentally accurate but it would be just an accident here's an example so I I wasn't keeping up with this story but apparently um the Biden Harris uh Administration paused uh LG exports now lmg would be the liquefied natural gas it's a you know gamic gigantic energy market and apparently there was some pause because there was some study that said that uh the LNG was worse for the environment than coal and then somebody said yeah but you did the numbers wrong and you got some wrong assumptions and the data is wrong and so what's true so the administration at least maybe temporarily they're accused of maybe changing their policy because of this study and then somebody said no it's none of it's true that is the world we live in now is the study wrong I wouldn't know would you maybe the people who say the stud's wrong are the ones that are wrong but but my point is sometimes the sometimes the studies or the data will be correct but it's never going to be credible so you still can't use it or you still can't trust it you can use it but you can't trust it here's some more data that uh is fake um the data might be real but the interpretation may be fake so you you know that the lawyer representing over 120 uh victims of the Diddy party situation so there's a lawyer he's got a hundred clients that are going to try to get money I guess from some kind of reports of bad behavior but since the lawyer went public with all those people who are going to be complaining and maybe trying to get money they've received 12,000 phone calls with tips on various bad Diddy Behavior 12,000 now here's what you need to know about that if you took any public figure even one that wasn't real like Mickey Mouse I'll use Mickey Mouse as my example because Mickey doesn't exist if somebody did a a press release and said we have 120 complaints that Mickey Mouse was sexually assaulting them what would be the most obvious thing that would happen after that well I think you would get 12,000 phone calls from people who said Mickey Mouse sexually assaulted me too can I get in on this yeah so what you should not interpret from 100 12 people who got a lawyer to go after Diddy triggering 12,000 phone calls of more reports of Diddy this will be your toughest challenge for assuming innocent until proven guilty there are 12,000 reports of guilt and you you somehow as a citizen of the United States if you're playing it right if you're playing a fair still innocent still innocent now trust me I have the same Instinct about this that you do it feels like he's not innocent it feels like he's not but I'm going to try as hard as I can to set a standard here that only the government is guilty from the get-go they have to prove they're Innocent but citizens you're really going to have to prove they're guilty and this doesn't do it 12,000 phone calls doesn't do it one lawyer with over a 100 clients doesn't do it that's not good enough it might be later I mean um of course after the evidence comes in we'll redecide but don't decide because so many people said that they were there or saw it or I mean all it is is all it is is the anonymous source about Trump times 12,000 basically well speaking of Diddy um I was looking at Netflix for something to watch last night and there's a Netflix documentary about Clive Davis you know the the music mogul uh guy who made a lot of people rich and made a lot of stars and I gotta say it was fascinating but it's twice as fascinating now that you know the context of the accusations against Diddy here are some things to look for and and I want to say this very carefully I'm not aware of any accusations against Clive Davis so again everybody I mention is innocent unless some court of law says they're not right so I'm making no allegations I'm just saying that if you watch this documentary which is made to be very complimentary to Clive Davis I assume he I assume he was behind the making of it because it's just so compliment um but you have to watch this with your current context everything looks different now I don't know if the everything looking different is my bias creeping into a story in which there was nothing that was wrong I don't know but some of the things I learned were that uh I didn't know that Clive Davis had come out as bisexual at some point so he liked uh relations with men and women and in the context of hearing the did allegedly again we don't know for sure was allegedly forcing himself on young male people and then in the documentary we see that Clive Davis discovered Diddy or he was a big part of Diddy's advance and that did he saw him as sort of a mentor now again I want to be really clear that I'm making no allegations and I'm not aware of any allegations against Clive Davis but when you see it in the context it really looks different but I'll tell you the two creepiest things there were two references to grooming in the documentary but both references were in reference to grooming musicians so he would find people who were you know talented but not famous and he would groom them and that was the actual word they used so they used the word groom twice in that documentary how many doc mentaries have the word groom in it twice it's a weird thing so again I'm not making any kind of accusations and I'm not aware of any uh that anybody else was making but wow does this look different when you put the context of what you think you know about the Diddy story that who knows how much is true well I Walter Isaacson says uh that the quote the script will get flip flipped next week on October 10th when Elon introduces Robo taxi and things that operate in the real world so so we've got Ai and AI is the subject of you know several of our biggest companies so Elon Musk has his version of AI and Google has theirs and Microsoft and open AI have theirs Etc so I didn't realize this but maybe I knew it that um musk is making his version of AI which is is called X AI U he makes it open source whenever he releases the new version so when he releases the new version he makes the version just before that open source for competitive reasons maybe he wants to not not to make the new one open um but then he reveals it so here's what's here's my uh observation so you're Elon Musk and you are really good at business models and making stuff work he's making his model open source what's that going to do to AI as a valuable commodity in the future shouldn't it bring it down to a commodity are are we building the you know the world's most expensive new technology with these you know multi-billion dollar uh chip-based data centers and building nuclear power plants just to power them them and that when you're done because there's a version of the same thing you just made with all of your billions of dollars there's a free one over here that's open source don't they all become worth nothing because the competition is free well here's a free one so I suspect that you need all the billions of dollars to build the thing but once you've built it how much smarter is it ever going to get in other words when you reach the point where it can't get much smarter and it's already absorbed the total knowledge and language patterns of all all conversations happened before and then it can also search the internet and maybe update itself once in a while aren't you done like there's some point where there's nothing left to train it on and then it becomes a commodity doesn't it but suppose your Elon must and you know that the AI is not just going to be on your phone it's also going to be in your robot and it's going to be in your Robo taxi that will drive itself when you call it and here's the thing if mus can you know through making uh the previous versions open source if any of that turns out to make AI by itself a commodity meaning that's the economic word for meaning it's not worth much you wouldn't pay much for it but he also is the best American manufacturer of complicated things so he can make a car he can I guess they could make their satellites wherever they make them and he can make a robot so if he makes a robo taxi and robots nobody who's also making AI can compete with him because the part they'll be selling will be the commodity that's worth nothing eventually the part he's selling will be the super valuable part because Americans can't manufacture but he can so what what is Microsoft going to do if they've developed this AI that's really cool but everybody else makes one and they're all the same and maybe one of them has less censorship so you like it better I don't know it seems to me that musk may have developed one of the best competitive models you'll ever see which is going to get the AI spend his billions but he'll have robots to put it in and that's the that's the secret sauce I don't know we'll see I I don't see Microsoft competing with him on manufacturing so what are they going to have to sell eventually good question well Politico is mentioning what we've all been thinking that the the hurricane Helen since it hit some um States that are important to the election electorally speaking and they also have more uh Republicans than Democrats especially Georgia and North Carolina the guy hit um Politico saying it could change the election result meaning that there'll be fewer Republicans who can get to the polls and it happens to be in some of the most important States and since the elections are always close this could be the difference it could the actual hurricane is the difference between who wins the election now that brings us to question number two which is um is FEMA and the Biden Administration doing enough or is there any regard to maybe they're not doing enough because they don't want to do enough in other words are any decisions being made at the leadership level that are making it less likely that Republicans will recover fast enough to vote now we're seeing lots of reports that I don't consider completely um credible yet because it's still fog of War so we're seeing lots of reports of just horrible horrible Behavior by FEMA but also reports that the reports of the horrible Behavior are fake it's way too early to know what's going on are there terrible inefficiencies in the system well almost certainly but I imagine that always looks that way you know if you could see everything that's happening during a disaster recovery I imagine there would be all kinds of pockets of what looks like incompetence and poor communication probably kind of normal because if you go into any war or well you know you've heard the old thing about um your battle plan only lasts until the first bullet is fired and and then after that you got to scramble to figure it out or uh I think Mike Tyson says that your uh your strategy for the boxing match uh goes away after the first punch I feel like Disaster Recovery is like that you got a great plan but then you get there you go uh 130 substations for Network are gone and all of our communication uh now what do we do so I can't tell from a distance that FEMA is failing or should have done something differently we can tell for sure that a lot of people are not getting served it's a little different because there might be some natural obstacles that are just unique to this case the the massive amount of and the widespread electrical problem taking out all communication means you can't even find the people who need help so there's something about this one that's different than a lot of different recoveries so it looks like incompetence at a level that you almost think is intentional how many of you would go so far as to say that based on what you've seen so far in the news or even other reports it looks intentional does anybody feel that way that that the incompetence looks like an intentional incompetence because they don't want to really help the Republicans um I don't see it so let me see directly on a factual basis I don't see support for that theory factually will your election depend on facts no as others have said this is a Vibe election if you think the vibe of one team is better than the vibe of the other you're going to vote for the good vibe but let me tell you the vibe that white people are getting and I can't speak for all white people but you can see my post I posted today and you'll see if people are agreeing or not so you can determine it yourself but I'll tell you the vibe I'm getting it feels like the Democrats have gone from uh over discrimination against white Americans in the form of Dei and ESG very overt obvious racial discrimination to actually killing white people and replacing them with immigrants now is that a a factual statement no no it is not did I say it was a factual statement nope nope there I'm making no claim of fact because I don't see the facts but let me tell you how it feels as a white person in America it feels like they're murdering us because they got away with everything else so far and why wouldn't they it feels like they're murdering us it feels like we're literally targeted for murder now again let me be very careful that's not what's happening that is not happening that is not factually happening they're not targeting us for murder so they can win the election but it feels like it it feels like it now does the fact that I am quite aware that there's no factual support for that does it change how I feel no it doesn't because the pattern that's been that's been um created by all of the other activities the last several years looks very much like an anti-white long-term Trend to which everything is folding under so the vibe is not like anything I've ever felt before now it looks like it feels like extermination it isn't it isn't and there's no factual basis for that but godamn it feels like it how many of you feel the same way you do any of you feel like like we've turned some corner here and and the hurricane like again this is a this is a false signal I would be super surprised if we ever learned that anything about the hurricane had something to do with politics I don't believe that that's true but damn it feels like it it just feels like it and that's so I'm not trying to convince you to feel like it I don't think that's helpful but I just think you probably do and if you don't think that that's going to change people's behavior in voting I think you're wrong I think that Republicans and white Republicans in particular are voting for their life and I think that black Americans uh suddenly got a tap on the shoulder it's like you know the massive immigration that's not good for you and your side's doing it and that's not good for you um and I think that black Americans see it too so it's not like there's it's not like any of this is based on race it feels like it's political and they don't care what race they have to manipulate could be blacks could be whites they just need the power so I think that's why you're going to see a lot more black Americans joining white Americans to say what are you doing it doesn't even look like you're on the team America whatever you're doing it looks like it's designed to destroy the country and I think anecdotally people are seeing that Nicole Shanahan said she was shocked by the intolerance of the Democrats that she used to be because when she left the Democrats to become independent um apparently the people that were friends and people who respected her just turned so it became socially and business-wise she just became poison as soon as she turned away from the Democrats now keep in mind that she didn't turn away from the Democrats to Trump right away she turned to the most Democrat family member you could ever have which was Kennedy and that was enough to be like excommunicated forever and you know she was basically dead to her friends and and business people now here's the here's the thing that I take away from that correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not a historian the people who got on the Mayflower the original pilgrims correct me if I'm wrong but did they not risk their lives to get on that ship to cross an ocean under the worst conditions to get the away from these right America was founded by people trying to get the away from these it's the same the same are telling you how to live how to think yeah it's the same they're trying to take away your free speech they're very pointedly trying to do that they're trying to get rid of all your freedoms very clearly yeah and if you don't think this is 1776 is if you don't think this is time for whatever blood it is that makes Americans Americans to get our act together and realize that we came here to get away from this and we're not going to let this happen again men men men can you get it together and vote and guess somebody signed up if you're a man in America and you haven't gotten at least one other man to sign up to vote to save this country you're not a man step up men Step Up This is the real thing by the way this is not a drill this is the real thing don't around it's time to step up all right um this is interesting trend-wise there are now at least four companies that are looking at nuclear power just for their own data centers because AI is going to take so much Amazon just bought a nuclear powered data center now I did not know that a nuclear powerered data center existed so this must be in another country I don't know where that is uh Oracle building some uh data center that'll be powered by three Nuclear Power Nuclear small nuclear power plants and U Microsoft is looking at Three Mile Island to turn it back on the parts that still work and uh Google is looking at nuclear power as well so your biggest companies are looking at having their own nuclear power now look at the these look at these four companies Amazon Oracle Microsoft and Google do they have enough clout to force the government to let's say uh be smarter about their regulatory environment for nuclear yes they do if you just waited for the government to say you know what we've been looking at our regulations and you know we think we should reduce a few of these nothing's going to happen our government does what it's paid to do let's let's be honest it does what it's paid to do and I don't mean paid to do what the people want I mean paid by donors special interests you know the government does what it's paid to do so now that we have our biggest richest companies who absolutely positively no doubt about it need nuclear energy or they're they're just going to pay the government to get rid of the regulations so they can do it problem solved if you believe our government is as corrupt as I do then the only way you can remove regulations is that gigantic companies who have the money to bribe anybody just bribe people to get rid of the regulations so they can go on with their business I think at this point if you don't own some stock in the nuclear power companies you might look back and say why didn't I see that coming and by the way um I should note I do own stock in a Index Fund of nuclear power companies for this reason and I also I should have mentioned I do own some stock in Tesla um every once in a while I should have mentioned to you that I own stock in some of the companies I mentioned I've got some Microsoft stock I don't have any Amazon or Oracle except in index funds all right uh there's a new video of KL Harris uh people are saying that her teleprompter glitched it looked like it I'm not sure that's the answer but um uh NN is only one of the uh is only one of the companies I've I've got a different one I'll tell you about later um so she's uh talking along at her rally and maybe the teleprompter glitched and she just started saying H 32 days until something ah 32 ah at 32 and you can even see the panic in her eyes and I was trying to say could you imagine the teleprompter goes out and let's say it's V ramaswami is that a problem no no V can do an hour within a teleprompter he could do two hours with a teleprompt let's say it's RFK Jr and the teleprompter goes out is he in trouble no no RFK Jr can talk for two hours within a teleprompter and it will all be brilliant if uh Trump is giving his talk and his teleprompt it goes out which I think has happened actually what happens is he panicked no he does standup comedy and it gets better the crowd likes it better right so you could go right down the line um if if JD Vance lost his teleprompter is he in trouble no no JD Vance can talk for two hours without a teleprompter and it all makes sense but KL Harris couldn't do it and we're actually looking at her as maybe a president you realize that in the fullness of time it will seem hilarious that this was ever close it's it's only because the brainwashing operation from the government is so powerful that they've convinced people that this should be a close race this one really shouldn't be and by the way I do think that most most elections I can completely understand why they're close when when Trump ran against Hillary Clinton I had a strong preference but Hillary Clinton is very capable and very smart and very experienced when she when she ran for office this isn't like that this is not that it made sense that Hillary Clinton was very close in the polls to Trump this doesn't make sense I don't know how unreal our environment can become but we've really reached some kind of new level of are we supposed to believe this that this election is close no thank you I I choose not to believe it um there's a new deep fake um this one's clever because it purported to be some kind of hidden camera thing where the the face of the person talking was concealed but when you listen to the words since you can't see a mouth moving because the the face is blurred out uh the words sound to me like AI or some actor but it's the the alleged person is suggesting that kamla Harris is the owner of the cocaine that was found in the White House I I would give zero credibility to that and if you couldn't tell that was a deep fake you need to be a little more cautious do you know how many people couldn't tell it was a deep fake 2.1 million have viewed it so far over 2 million people viewed it and a lot of them you know re reposted it so this is really dangerous because in my mind it was obviously fake but to a lot of people it wasn't and what is it what is it about it uh let me test you what is it about it even without seeing it so you don't have to see it to answer this question all you have to know is the topic what made people believe it when it obviously looked like it was fake what made people believe it because it's because they wanted to it it was a fun recreational story that if if it if you could make a case that it was KL Harris's cocaine in the White House and again I'm aware of no evidence of that whatsoever it's only based on a fake video uh it would be fun to believe and it would be compatible with maybe some of your prior beliefs it's just a bias yeah so the the Deep fakes you have to worry about are not the one this is this is my learning my key learning here is that you don't have to worry just about them looking real this one didn't look real and it's still sold because it was compatible with what people wanted to believe so the key lesson here is the Deep fake just has to agree with what people are already thinking and they will completely be oblivious to how poorly you made it I I hate to say that's true but you can see it in this one especially anyway there's a whole bunch of conversation about the FEMA budget uh people on the right say that FEMA gave tons of money to settling or helping migrants and therefore they're running out money to help in um the current hurricane situation FEMA would say and Democrats would say nothing like that happened those were different budgets and different uh buckets and uh we never spent the money for the hurricane stuff it was just a different bucket blah blah blah then Republicans would say something like there's no such thing as different buckets if if FEMA doesn't have enough and you gave half a billion to something else then logically that was half a billion that could have been available but isn't is that a good argument uh I'm going to go with both of them are full of so I'm going to say I can't back either argument because they both look like they're lying so I don't believe the Democrats when they say oh it's a different bucket but I also don't believe the Republicans when they say that's the reason that there's not enough money or even that there isn't enough money the White House says there is enough we're we're giving them everything they want so I think both sides are lying on this story or mistaken no I won't say lying I'll say mistaken or or or they're they're adapting a version that's compatible with their preconceived notions let's say I don't know what to believe on that but I don't like it um there was a story that uh the femo was uh blocking private flights and helicopters from bringing stuff in Elon Musk got into it on the xplatform because people were contacting him and saying we've got this stuff but they won't let us deliver it and then uh P Buddha judge weighed in and said that's not true nobody nobody's blocking any flights and then mus tried to get in touch with him and did and uh Buddha judge was successful in Expediting the approval of the flights in other words Buddha judge was not aware that there was something that needed to be expedited now is that a giant failure a FEMA or Buddha judge yes yes yes it was a giant failure but I'm going to put some context on it in the context of uh this big operation with so many moving Parts it's not that unusual that the top person or persons are not getting the information from the bottom persons That's Not Unusual so my guess is that Buddha judge literally didn't know it was a problem until he fixed it it was the fixing it that guaranteed it was a problem because there was something to fix so even Buddha says you know that he expedited you don't expedite during an emergency unless something's broken right because the Expediting is what the emergency response is the entire emergency response is an expedited response so if he has to go in and expedite the thing that should have been expedited something was broken but he did fix it so we'll give him that right I I uh I tend to be very very generous in my scoring during a disaster because you know people are just doing the best they can and I think they are doing the best they can um there's according to the hill a Georgia judge has tossed out a lawsuit about voting machines um because the the judge says that the the alleged uh let's say um holes in the voting machine process are purely hypothetical so some security risks were presented to a folden County judge in Georgia and the judge said you have not made your case that uh these these weaknesses in the system are purely hypothetical now here's what you should learn from this if you have a computer or you have a company you might be worried about the cyber security of your company uh or your own computer if you're worried about the cyber security of your company you should see a judge no no no some of you were saying no why wouldn't I talk to a cyber expert no you don't need a cyber expert to tell you who can and cannot hack a machine no you need a judge somebody went to law school they're the ones who can tell you if the security problems in your machine are purely hypothetical or the real kind you need to worry about so don't worry people don't worry a judge says that uh hackers can't get into the machines no a judge said it stop complaining a judge said it can't do it have you heard about the event where the hackers get all the newest uh well I don't know if they're the newest they they get all the uh voting machines in one room and then they hack them and they hack everyone every time they're all hacked but the judge says these particular machines no problem it's only hypothetical so I don't trust that have I told you that all data that matters is fake and the closer you get to an election the more Fake It is well here are three takes remember you saw the report that the jobs jobs are looking great and uh the jobless rat is under control what was the first thing you said to yourself when you saw that the job numbers look great right before the election well you probably said what I said these numbers aren't real do you know who else said these numbers don't look real um let's see um I think it was uh Bloomberg and CNBC so both Bloomberg and CNBC when they saw the job numbers said uh no so this is one those s situations where you really have to divide the world into people with experience in the real world and people are inexperienced suppose you're 25 years old you're trying to decide who to vote for and the numbers come out that says the jobs are great and that may be the thing you care about the most especially if you're looking to you know work your way up through the employment world so you're 25 and you see that the jobs are just killing it you're going to vote for a Democrat but if you happen to be experienced let's say you're over 50 and you've seen how the real world Works you've seen how numbers are always weird when it gets to the election and you know that they're usually revised and often revised in a major way downward but after the fact if you had experience in the real world and those numbers came out you said what CNBC and Bloomberg said uh no no these are real these are not real numbers so I have I have that kind of experience so as soon as I saw it I didn't need to I didn't need to consult with Bloomberg I didn't need to consult with CNBC they did not need to consult with anybody either because if you have a certain amount of experience in the real world you just look at those numbers and you shake your head you go no no I've been saying the same thing about science measuring the temperature of the earth people in the business World tend to give scientists like their own space as in the scientists are somehow immune from all the things that make every other number fake they're not immune it's exactly the same if it's a political domain such as climate change their numbers are as real as the job numbers meaning that it's all motivated numbers you can't trust any of it so that's the difference between being experienced and not experienced so you can sell climate change to young people because they do not yet know that all the important data is fake they don't know that but once you know that everything that matters to policy and to money is fake or at least you shouldn't trust it then everything looks different suddenly all right so there are three different arguments at least why it's fake um so one of them is that the the raw number might be realish but uh the people who got the jobs are coming in from other countries and the people who got the jobs are mostly government hiring so there was massive government hiring oh that's a big coincidence right before the election H and there was a a lot of people took part-time jobs so basically the jobs numbers even if the data was correct the way you would interpret it could be opposite of the number so the interpretation would be hey jobs are way up good news everybody great job Democrats or uh let's look at the details of these numbers wait a minute all the jobs went to people who were not even citizens who just came in the country this year oh that's the worst thing in the world well it's not the worst thing in the world but it's bad so you can't even tell if the job report is good or bad for somebody who's a citizen that's how bad our data is you can't even tell well CNN's Harry enton as talking about the uh the poll results on CNN and uh he says quote so there's no historical precedent for the White House Party winning another term in the White House when just 28% of the country think we're on the right track and said simply put it would be historically unprecedented huh so under the current conditions if kamla Harris was judged the winner on Election Day Harry Anon of CNN has told us that we shouldn't believe it was real am I miss interpreting this Harry Anon is saying that it would be unprecedented and there would be no history of this ever happening in the United States for somebody with such a low uh rating for being on the right track would ever get reelected so doesn't that automatically mean that if Harris does get judged the winner on Election Day that a reasonable citizen would say there must be fraud because this is so far under the historical Norm that we can't certify this right am I wrong now one of the reasons that people didn't believe the 2020 election is that there I believe you have to give me a fact check on this but I think there were some bellweather situations you know places where the vote always goes a certain way and you can rely on it where it didn't and only in the kind of critical places where it made a difference to me that's pretty good evidence of fraud it's not proof it's not proof but I would say if Harry Anon has told us a few weeks before the election then nobody can get elected with these numbers and then they do how am I supposed to interpret that how am I supposed to interpret that somebody gets elected with numbers that you can't get elected with do we say well I guess history certainly surprised us this time I might but it's far more likely I'm going to suspect something was wrong with the election well I would say the rigging has already begun and maybe is already done and has determined that Harris will win so the amuse account which is really high value account on X if you're not if you're not following the account on X called amuse just one word amuse you're missing some of the best independent reporting I mean it's it's a level above anything you're going to see on TV news and I don't even know who's behind it exactly because it's sort of anonymous but uh I get some of my best stuff just from that one account on X amuse the other one that's similarly good is George follow those two George is great I don't I don't know who's backing George but wow he's got quite an operation going um so here's what we know so we know we've got the um potential election weakness because if you're voting overseas you don't need to show that you're a citizen you don't need to show your address or even your ID and here's what the amuse account tells us that between 2016 and 2020 um that there was a big increase in non-military overseas ballots so I guess we can tell fairly easily how many military people are overseas and that number stayed about the same but the non-military people skyrocketed in numbers of people who voted in 2020 why would that be did did a lot of people move overseas between 2016 and 2020 for non-military reasons I'm not aware of that um and of those votes coming in um that were just the the overseas ones that are non-military how many of them do you think voted for Biden in Fon County and Maricopa two are the ones that we have the most questions about well according to amuse The Fulton County numbers the votes for Biden that came in from this suspicious overseas unverified bunch of Voters uh that uh 100% of them went for Biden 100% now you know that's not possible right that that is proof of rigging that's not a suspicion that would be proof that would be proof um how about Maricopa 74% for Biden do you think there's anybody from you know you could take any group of Maricopa people and get 74% for Biden no now these numbers if they're true remember data is always suspicious but if it's true then we know exactly one of the big sources of cheating so if you're wondering hey was there cheating in 2020 yeah there it is there it is if the data is true if the data is true I would call that um citizen level proof meaning that I don't know what a court would say cuz a court would probably need you to track down every you know vote and check the ID and stuff like this but on a citizen level like what what do you and I decide is you know evidence versus proof to me this is proof If the data is true right I'll still put an if on you know you always have to wonder if the data sources are good but if the DAT is true yeah this is proof that the election was rigged and that they plan to do it again um there's a FBI whistleblower according to the Gateway pundit that says the FBI is planning to have uh their own agents undercover uh I think undercover I'm not sure they said undercover but they would be monitoring the meropi Maricopa County polling stations to monitor the Trump voters uh you thought I was going to say the FBI was going to monitor the election to make sure the election was fair right no they're going to monitor the monitors they're going to monitor the Republicans now let's game this out let's say you are an attorney and and a election monitor you've been trained by the Lara Trump uh Watley group and you're you're like trained to be a good Observer and suddenly you see something that looks suspicious and you go to everybody and say hey hey I'm I'm an observer this is suspicious you know we need to keep an eye on this or whatever we need to do what happens then well the Democrats of course push back and they push and they push but it's kind sort of a fair fight you've got some attorneys that are trained to do this so that's pretty powerful but the Democrats are going to push back hard and they're pretty powerful so at least you got a fair fight okay so that's the situation without the FBI there now imagine the same situation but the FBI there are to make sure the observers don't get out a hand so The Observers say hey hey we just saw something in that batch you got to stop everything till we look at it Democrats say no no no and then the FBI walks in says uh what are you talking about and the Republicans say this batch looks bad can you can you help us you know we'll make sure this one's guarded and then the FBI says Nah I think it looks fine the Dem Democrats say it looks fine and then then what does the lawyer do the trained lawyer Observer do well the trained lawyer Observer is outranked now because you're not going to not do what the FBI tells you if you're a lawyer I mean most lawyers so to me it looks like they're just adding muscle so that the Democrats can hide anything they want and The Observers won't have enough clout to make sure that they can check it when it needs to get checked so to me it looks like now you could say but Scott this is not proven in any Court no I'm as a citizen I'm I'm using my own standards for what I would consider proven versus alleged or hypothetical to me if you put the FBI in there to watch the um to watch only the Trump observers that would be a rigged election in at least in that way it would be rigged now keep in mind this comes from a whistleblower I don't know if the Whistleblower was um Anonymous if it's an anonymous whistleblower will'll give it the same treatment as the Trump hoax which is anonymous doesn't count Anonymous is not evidence but if if he gave his name and we know who he is or or he's at least given his name to law enforcement or something maybe maybe so keep an eye on that one uh Mark andreon famous investor in Silicon Valley one of the big names there um he teaches us something called the iron law of oligarchy I've never heard this before but it matches what I've believed and it says that so there's something called the iron law of oligarchy and what it says is that all forms of organizations no matter how Democratic will turn into oligarchies thus democracy is practically and theoretic Ally impossible yes that is correct if you have a democracy uh in a free market it's inevitable and unavoidable that some people will succeed more than others so far you all agree that's just what a free market is and then once those people get rich they will of course look at ways to stay rich and they will look at ways to you know increase their advantage and they'll look around at other rich people and say you know if you and I agreed we'd be way more powerful than if it were just one of us and they don't even need to say the words because they all know what's good for them and it's probably good for you too fat cat and then suddenly the oligarchies have so much money and power that they start running the show and that democracy becomes just a a window covering or something that makes the citizens feel they're participating but really not does that sound like America yes yeah that's America I don't believe there's any such thing as an actual functioning democracy and if there is it's a temporary thing because yeah the to me this is an iron law I don't believe it's possible to have a long-term democracy Republic situation I think it just devolves into really the fat cats are in charge and the citizens are diverted into thinking the voting makes a difference so this is closely related to my observation that no Government Can Survive free speech and that's why we don't have it and never will now you thought you had free speech for most of your life but really you only had the Free Speech to say things that the mainstream would agree with otherwise you were in trouble it didn't have to be the government so so we watched the government using social media platforms and and foreign entities to censor things in the United States and it seems to pass the test of not violating the First Amendment but we don't have free speech I mean be real we don't have anything like free speech ask Nicole shananne she had free speech went from being a Democrat to an independent and suddenly the the pressure from other citizens because they've been brainwashed by whom what why is it that Nicole Shanahan gets so much bad treatment from Democrats when she leaves the Democrat field is it because those Democrats have free will and they thought it out and they thought that was a good way to act nope they have been literally brainwashed to not tolerate certain kinds of speech and so they acted out that way thinking it was their own opinions it was not their own opinions they were brainwashed and uh those opinions were assign to them so as long as your government can control the media it can assign opinions to people and part of its uh assignment is that you know here's one of the opinions I'm going to assign to you even though we have this thing called Free Speech you can't say that stuff so you can't say stuff that's true if it disagrees with what we're trying to push on people like the pandemic situation and you can't say something that would be bad for somebody because they even made up a thing that the constitution has something about um Haze speech it doesn't so hay speech is completely legal under First Amendment but uh there was a poll that showed that uh women and especially young women uh think that the constitution already makes makes it illegal to do Haze speech which makes it really easy for for Democrats to blame people for hate speech and then get rid of their speech because they've already convinced two-thirds of women that that's a legal and valid constitutional thing it's not it's the opposite it's not legal or valid to monitor or stop some of your speech if you're the government if you're the government it's not not appropriate so um here's a uh reframe that I hadn't heard until this morning that's really breaking my brain so this is a Mike Benz again Mike Ben is a I'm gonna say this as clearly as I can if you're not following Mike Ben's bnz you really don't know what's going on because the stuff he does is not in the news and it's so well sourced and so well communicated you end up listening to it and going oh wow I didn't know that all right here's one of those so you know that all these uh dangerous looking people are coming across the border and you're seeing all these military age looking people from different countries it's not even one country it's not Mexico it's from all over the world all these military age people and then we heard that there's a whole bunch of people that are you know allegedly on the National Security list you know there there's something about them that automatically makes them look like a national security risk probably where they came from and you're saying to yourself how in the world is our government letting this happen well here's a spin you if you haven't heard this this is going to blow your freaking mind first of all you do know that the United States has for decades and decades Tred to control as many other countries as possible to have influence over their government to you know to you know do coups to have protests so basically America has tried with every mechanism they can from military to financial to covert to control every country we can because the more we control them the more business we can do so the oligarchy needs control over other countries to get raw materials and also to have markets so really our CIA is sort of an extension of our commercial Enterprises it just make sure that they they're softening up these markets and the sources of raw materials so that it's good for good for the free market basically good for America specifically so as part of that process there's a lot of training of rebels who might want to take over their own country with American Support so we got 1.7 s a million migrants who could pose some National Security risk according to the the GOP Judiciary Committee and Mike Ben says this and my mind is completely blown by this by the way you have to listen to this carefully uh Mike Benz if you follow my streams you know why so you know why that all these dangerous men are coming into the country yes sometimes it's recklessness and negligence so a lot of it could just be we have bad borders but most of the time DHS the Department of Homeland Security is importing CIA and Department of Defense backed paramilitary gangs and their families because they're quote our guys in regime change Ops in their countries of origin Haiti Venezuela Venezuela Somalia Etc Democrats support the military intelligence up on political grounds because they think it's changing the voter demographics uh while Republicans support the military intelligence op on Commercial grounds because this is how you get your cheap labor in other countries and cheap resources so here's what I hate about this point of view it explains everything it explains everything that I don't know how you know how completely accurate it is uh I'm willing to bet based on Mike Ben's credibility that there's some of that in the mix the question I don't know and he's he's not he's not giving us an estimate because he wouldn't know either is what percentage of it is our guys meaning people that were trying to influence maybe to send them back or maybe because they already did something for us and we're protecting them but apparently there's some big secret part of why so many men are coming into the country now I would love to think that our CIA and Department of Defense are so capable that the the dangerous looking people that are coming in are going to be dangerous on our behalf that feels like a lot to ask me to accept I do not believe that our CI CIA and Department of Defense can bring a million 1.7 million people or whatever the number is some subset of that uh and that they can control that situation so I don't know this one blew my mind when I when I read it but uh uh like I say Ben has high credibility on this topic Tucker Carlson had a interesting uh observation um when he was talking about wokeness he he says wokeness is basically just an anti-white racist thing and one of the ways you can tell that is that Ireland is woke now Ireland basically was colonized they weren't colonizers it was they weren't a bunch of white colonizers they they were victims they got colonized and I don't think they were big on slave ownership so why is everything going white woke in in Ireland What did the Irish do doesn't matter as long as they're white you need less of it apparently now I'm exaggerating a little bit but it was an interesting point if we can understand why the wokeness in America is driven by the bad behavior of white people in America but then the wokeness still applies to a country where that argument couldn't possibly make sense then it tells you that the argument in America probably is just artificial and that it really is biological and it just has to do with whatever group wants to be more in charge let me tell you I have greatly enjoyed growing up in a country where people who look like me were the majority for a while it made me feel safer I feel safer in any group that looks mostly like me just natural now that would be the true for everybody I think everybody would have that same experience now I like diversity where I live in California is wonderfully diverse my neighborhood is wonderfully diverse I love it it it actually is terrific but literally it's terrific um but you still feel if if everybody's a stranger like if you didn't know him you'd feel safer if everybody looked like you it's just biological so whatever is going on looks to me more like people who are not comfortable with a white majority and they're trying to take down the white people in any way that they can I don't know that they necessarily intellectualize it that way but I think it's just such a natural mammal impulse that you want more things that look like you and fewer things that look like something else so that's probably what's happening anyway um here's an interesting thing Liz Harrington reminds us that uh I've told you this story before uh oh actually this is related to the the overseas voting so at some point uh there was a request in Pennsylvania from a prior election to audit the 25,000 votes that came in from overseas because remember Pennsylvania was really close but there were 25,000 votes coming from overseas and uh Pennsylvania some people were asking to audit that because that may have been the difference and that may have been where all the cheating was uh but that was uh stopped who do you think uh oh of the 25,000 only 3,600 were military which means again it was one of these weird places where there was an unexplained large number of non-military people overseas who voted and didn't need any ID and didn't have to prove that they were citizens and didn't need an address who do you think blocked that remember I always tell you that if you only know what the news is you don't know anything if you know the people and the background of the people then maybe you understand the news but if you don't know about the people the story doesn't make sense let me give you an example if I just told you that Pennsylvania blocked an audit of the overseas votes from the prior election you'd say to yourself oh well I'm sure they had the reasons probably had their reasons okay now I'm going to tell you who blocked it it was then attorney general Josh Shapiro he's the one who blocked it lands differently now doesn't it so the guy who blocked the audit was on the short list to be VP you know we always think we live in a black male ocracy like everything is based on who knows what about who you know Shapiro you could go places but not if this audit happens you know what I mean if the audit happens you might not be on the short list if the audit does happen you're going to be on the short list for something really good so yeah um the butler rally as you know is happening tonight I guess it's uh 5:00 p.m.

eastern time and we believe that Elon Musk is going to join now I don't know uh what they've planned in terms of where Elon will be fitting into the proceedings but here's what I hope happens fingers crossed I want to see a SpaceX rocket Landing in the field next to the rally like Landing you know upright and then I want to see Elon Musk get out of the capsule and then go to the rally now I know that's not possible but wouldn't it be cool to show up in your own space rocket it'd be very cool that's all I'm saying it's not going to happen maybe you could bring a robot though just bring one robot come on Elon you can do it bring us one robot anyway um so I'd like to remind you about one of my best predictions of all time now I do this not only because I like to brag which I do but because since my show is largely about figuring out how people think and work and then making predictions it's important that I revisit my predictions even if they're wrong this one happened to be right um I predicted that after Trump lost in 2020 that every day from that point on he would become more popular so once he reached his you know depth of unpopularity around January 6 I said every day after that he would become more popular here he is here he is more popular so that that really was one of my best predictions I predicted that if he lost the Republicans would be hunted I hate that that was right now Democrats still think that's not true because they don't get real news but clearly Republicans have been haunted I mean there's no doubt about that at this point anyway so um also uh the head of hamas's military Wing um has been killed in a targeted attack by Israel so they took out the head of the Hamas military Wing but also his family at the same time um it looks like he got him at home now I'm no terrorist Mastermind but I'm going to give a little bit of advice for those who are if you plan to be an international terrorist or or even a local one like amas don't work from home yeah don't don't telecommute if you're a terrorist far better for you to go to work and maybe maybe sleep in the office for until the trouble goes over you don't really want to go to work and manage your terrorist International terrorist gang and then go home to the family and sit around the the dinner table and have dinner you're going to blow up with your family now how many times have we seen these masterminds of international terrorist groups groups driving around with their families I mean it makes sense that people go home to their family but this is the one time you really shouldn't you really shouldn't go home to your family if you're being hunted by Israel it just seems like not loving your family enough if you know what I mean so I don't want to make jokes about uh people's death but I will note that when we get all uh we got all bent out of shape because somebody's celebrating some tragedy that happens in the United States we're not better than that we're not we we celebrate tragedies that happen in other places if it's somebody we don't like and unfortunately that's just who humans are so I'm not happy about it all right ladies and gentlemen that completes my prepared remarks I think you know that the dilber calendar for 2025 is back after taking a year off and now better than ever because you have comics on the back the Dilbert reborn and then the classic ones on the front like they always were twice as many comics and uh you can only get it at the link at dilbert.com you cannot get it in bookstores this time you used to be able to you cannot get it on Amazon this time the only place you can get it is the one link that you'll find on dilbert.com and then of course I've reissued wind bigley um in time for the election cuz if you want to figure out how could Trump go from January 6 worst of everything to back at the top of the race this will tell you so this is about uh persuasion in the context of the 2016 election which will tell you a lot about what tools he's using in the the current run and it will allow you to be more powerful and effective in your own life all right so get that that one's at Amazon so you can get that at the normal place um and only in I think it's only on Amazon and maybe in one other bookstore uh maybe at Barnes & Noble I think so anyway uh I'm going to say bye to X and Rumble and You.

Tube and I'm going to talk to the uh subscribers on locals privately thanks for joining you are amazing and fun as always so locals I'm coming at you in 30 seconds it'll take a little bit time for that change to Happ e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

good morning

everybody I give you a dilber reborn

comic that you can read while

everybody's streaming in you might be

happy to know that Bob the dinosaur is

making a reappearance this week and in

this comic which you can only see if

you're a subscriber at uh Scott adams.

locals.com where you can get that comic

plus a whole bunch of political stuff

that you might not care about so if you

don't care about the political stuff and

you just want the comic you can get the

comic by subscribing on the

xplatform but here we've got Bob the

dinosaur talking to dog bird and Bob

says I took a DNA test to see if I have

any living relatives then Bob continues

it turns out I'm related to a bird from

across town we got together last night

then I killed him because I didn't like

the direction he was evolving and dogar

says you have good

stories so in case you're looking for

more Dilbert comics that's where you can

find

them good morning and welcome to the

highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time in your

life this is the weekend edition because

lazy people take the weekend off not me

not me I'm here every day and if you'd

like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their tiny shiny human brains all

you need is a cup or mug or a glass a

tanker chel orstein a canteen Jugger

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 of the day the thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now go

oh

man so good I can barely stand

it well um here's some more science that

could have saved a lot of money just by

asking me you didn't need to do a study

but they did a study to find out that uh

if you keep your brain challenged and

you do lots of mentally difficult

activities that your brain will be

healthier into old

age huh I wonder who you could have

asked oh you could have asked me because

it turns out that your brain is like the

rest of your body the better the more

you use it the better it

is uh I find that my brain stops working

after about two days off of

work one one of the reasons and this is

true by the way one of the reasons that

um I don't like not working any given

day is if I take a day off from working

I actually find it harder to work the

next day meaning that if I try to if I

take a few days off from uh writing a

comic it's hard two days off and

suddenly you just forget that little

muscle it's almost like you know taking

time off from exercise so yes you should

be looking for something that keeps your

brain active in your older Years it'll

make a big difference I feel as if I can

feel the difference like it it's such a

difference that like you can actually

feel it's not just

hypothetical well according to science

alert there's a study that found that

Omega-3

supplements reduce aggression by up to

28% and fairly immediately so if you

give somebody

omega-3 which is a common supplement one

that I use actually uh it will uh reduce

your

aggression now my question to you is

this

how many times will science need to

prove to you that Free Will is an

illusion before you're going to believe

me what does it say about free will if

you can take a common supplement and it

changes your behavior

radically where's your free will if you

had free will a supplement wouldn't make

any

difference it's the supplement that's

making the decision for you it's not you

you're just an

observer once you realize you're just an

observer in life it does take a lot of

pressure off what one of my favorite

reframes is uh to tell myself I'm just

an observer and I can't control anything

because sometimes when things are going

wrong you think oh I must do things

differently to fix this but maybe

there's nothing you can do so I just

tell myself I'm an observer my body is

just going where I observe it and it's

almost like a a hobby to watch what

happens

all right just calling up

my comments here nope that's not it I

want to make sure I'm looking at the

locals comments now it would be great if

locals put the content in the order that

it happens instead of completely out of

order don't know why it does

that probably because I think I'm

pinning

things I'm wrong all right we won't have

an argument about free will I know you

love that one according to Zero Hedge

food prices might be jumping up again

because of uh supply chain problems and

conflicts in the world

and everything else but apparently the

biggest increas is in

Sugar which is in a lot of

things and certain

oils I'm sure this sugar is just Satan

at this point do do you think if you

just said all right sugar is Satan

everything would make sense I think that

sugar is why we have you know every

every health problem probably every

chronic health problem that's not caused

by maybe fertilizer or something uh or

weed killers or something I think sugar

is just the thing that's making all the

other chronic problems

worse so now it's making your inflation

worse too sugar is the

devil all right here's another one you

should have asked me

um so Psychology today says there's a

new study that says when kids play with

dogs it relases releases the hormone

oxytocin oxytocin is that hormone that

we seek the most it's it's the one that

makes you feel good and like life is

okay and somebody loves you and you're

connected to the world it's really a

good chemical to have working for you

and kids can get it from playing with

dogs well you could have saved some

money on this study because the day

before I read about the results of the

study literally this is not an

exaggeration I was curled up in the

floor yesterday talking to my dog while

I huged her and I was explaining to her

that I was boosting our

oxytocin literally I literally was

talking out loud like with real words to

my dog yesterday and today I find out

somebody spent money on a survey or a

study

to find out what I knew laying on the

floor with a dog so you just should have

asked me I could have told you and by

the way you feel it have you ever had

the experience where you just you you

curl up with a cat on your lap or a or a

dog and you just feel that little extra

warm comfort that's the oxytocin that's

what that is so once you learn to

recognize it you can tell you're getting

it from from the dog for sure

well according to slay news the Harris

campaign's taking a big hit from

Hispanic support and apparently she has

less support than Biden did and less

support than he had less support than I

think Obama and now Harris is has less

support than Biden so the Hispanic

Community is

moving quite you know noticeably toward

the Republican side did you need to do a

survey about that no you did not because

I believe that one of my better

predictions in this world and I've been

saying it for five

years so think about take yourself back

five years so this is way before it was

really super obvious that the Hispanic

Community was moving away from the

Democrats five years ago that wasn't

obvious and I was telling you okay if

you don't live among the the Hispanic

Community as I do I have you know lots

of connections to the Immigrant Hispanic

Community uh you would maybe not know

that they love their family and they

love their God and they're here to work

hard and to follow the rules they're

Republicans they're republican from top

to bottom and I don't know how you could

change them into something else now they

might get here and you know maybe they

haven't figured out how everything works

in America so there might be a short

time where the Democrats get them

registered as a Democrat and that can be

a little bit of sticky but once they pay

attention a little bit and they see what

wait what are the Republicans offering

what are the Democrats offering it's

it's kind of a slam dunk the Democrats

are not even close to being competitive

to what the Hispanic community that I

observe wants out of the world what they

want out of the world is not

more trans in school that's not what the

Hispanic Community cares about

so this is one of my you know better

observations that I think bringing

enormous amounts of Hispanic people in

through immigration is not going to work

out in the long run the way the

Democrats hoped that they think that

they're bringing in Democrats I think

that's a short-term strategy now it

could be that if the short-term strategy

Works they'll gain enough power

then nobody can take it back so it could

be that the short-term strategy is all

they need to have total complete control

forever but you can tell which way

things are

moving all right see what else is

happening um the so the former head of

black lives matter from Greater Atlanta

he is going to jail because he was

guilty of taking donations that were

meant for black lives matter and he use

them uh to travel and buy a

home it makes you wonder was any of the

black lives matter movement

real any of

it yeah I think it was 100% fake and do

you wonder if George Soros knows that

did he know it at the time and does he

care one way or the other because it

looks like black lives matter might have

been used just for political reasons to

be anti-trump it doesn't really look

like anybody was trying to help black

Americans through black lives matter it

doesn't look like the members or at

least the leaders the members probably

were sincere but the leaders were not

sincere and the person who funded it I

doubt they were

sincere so now we know that it was

exactly what it looks like but the uh

sub the part B of this story is they

showed a picture of the former head of

black lives matter

and uh I'm just going to say this about

that after looking at the picture of the

former black lives

matter ctis Owens might want to look

into his

background I'll just leave it

there you know you you would think that

the head of black lives matter should

look a little bit more black than some

of the heads of the black lives matter

look you should at least look completely

black you know not

10% if if you look 10% black okay I

guess the standard is if you want to

call yourself black you're allowed to do

that in our big old world you can

identify the way you want

but it's a strange look I'll just say

that it's a strange look there's a new

Trump hoax uh there's some XA and I'm

assuming that this is anonymous I didn't

care enough to read the actual story but

the Anonymous near the election story is

that an x a says that Trump refused to

give California wildfire Aid so when

California had the wildfires during

Trump's Administration he wouldn't give

them Wildfire aid until um somebody told

him how many people there voted for

him does that sound

true do you think Trump said uh I'm not

going to give Wildfire Aid to California

until somebody tells me how many of them

voted for me

that sounds so hilariously not true it's

exactly the kind of um exactly the kind

of story you expect a few weeks before

the election an anonymous story somebody

anonymously yeah no I don't think that

Trump was talking out loud in front of

witnesses and suggesting that he wasn't

going to give Wildfire Aid to a place

that had too many Democrats now that did

not happen I'm sorry I wasn't in the

room but that did not

happen so that's the new

hoax anyway uh have I ever told you that

all data that matters is fake not all

data but anything that matters to policy

or to politics it's all fake Engineers

sometimes have real data right if you're

measuring the fault rate of machines

that's probably real there's a good

chance you got that right but the

political stuff that goes to policy and

who's in charge and where the money goes

none of that's true you can count on

none of that being true just none of it

now I know I can't sell that you're not

ready for it because we're all being

sort of slowly blackpilled into

understanding the real system that we

live in it's really really hard to wrap

your head around none of it being

real because you're pretty sure that at

least the stuff that agrees with you is

real right well that stuff must be real

because it agrees with how you feel no

none of it's real now some of it might

be accidentally accurate but it would be

just an

accident here's an example so I I wasn't

keeping up with this story but

apparently um the Biden Harris uh

Administration

paused uh LG exports now lmg would be

the liquefied natural gas it's a you

know gamic gigantic energy market and

apparently there was some pause because

there was some study that said that uh

the LNG was worse for the environment

than

coal and then somebody said yeah but you

did the numbers wrong and you got some

wrong assumptions and the data is wrong

and

so what's

true so the administration at least

maybe temporarily they're accused of

maybe changing their policy because of

this study and then somebody said no

it's none of it's

true that is the world we live in now is

the study wrong I wouldn't know would

you maybe the people who say the stud's

wrong are the ones that are

wrong but but my point is sometimes the

sometimes the studies or the data will

be correct but it's never going to be

credible

so you still can't use it or you still

can't trust it you can use it but you

can't trust

it here's some more data that uh is fake

um the data might be real but the

interpretation may be fake so you you

know that the lawyer representing over

120 uh victims of the Diddy party

situation so there's a lawyer he's got a

hundred clients that are going to try to

get money I guess from some kind of

reports of bad behavior but since the

lawyer went public with all those people

who are going to be complaining and

maybe trying to get money they've

received 12,000 phone calls with tips on

various bad Diddy Behavior

12,000 now here's what you need to know

about that if you took any public figure

even one that wasn't real like Mickey

Mouse I'll use Mickey Mouse as my

example because Mickey doesn't exist

if somebody did a a press release and

said we have 120 complaints that Mickey

Mouse was sexually assaulting them what

would be the most obvious thing that

would happen after that well I think you

would get 12,000 phone calls from people

who said Mickey Mouse sexually assaulted

me

too can I get in on this yeah so what

you should not interpret from 100 12

people who got a lawyer to go after

Diddy triggering 12,000 phone calls of

more reports of Diddy this will be your

toughest challenge for assuming innocent

until proven

[Laughter]

guilty there are 12,000 reports of guilt

and you you somehow as a citizen of the

United States if you're playing it right

if you're playing a fair still

innocent still innocent

now trust me I have the same Instinct

about this that you

do it feels like he's not

innocent it feels like he's not but I'm

going to try as hard as I can to set a

standard here that only the government

is

guilty from the get-go they have to

prove they're Innocent but citizens

you're really going to have to prove

they're guilty and this doesn't do it

12,000 phone calls doesn't do it one

lawyer with over a 100 clients doesn't

do it that's not good enough it might be

later I mean um of course after the

evidence comes in we'll redecide but

don't decide because so many people said

that they were there or saw it or I mean

all it is is all it is is the anonymous

source about Trump times 12,000

basically well speaking of Diddy

um I was looking at Netflix for

something to watch last night and

there's a Netflix documentary about

Clive Davis you know the the music mogul

uh guy who made a lot of people rich and

made a lot of stars and I gotta say it

was

fascinating but it's twice as

fascinating now that you know the

context of the accusations against Diddy

here are some things to look for and and

I want to say this very carefully

I'm not aware of any accusations against

Clive

Davis so again everybody I mention is

innocent unless some court of law says

they're not right so I'm making no

allegations I'm just saying that if you

watch this documentary which is made to

be very complimentary to Clive Davis I

assume he I assume he was behind the

making of it because it's just so

compliment um but you have to watch this

with your current context

everything looks

different now I don't know if the

everything looking

different is my bias creeping into a

story in which there was nothing that

was

wrong I don't know but some of the

things I learned were that uh I didn't

know that Clive Davis had come out as

bisexual at some point so he liked uh

relations with men and women and in the

context of hearing the did

allegedly again we don't know for sure

was allegedly forcing himself on young

male people and then in the documentary

we see that Clive Davis discovered Diddy

or he was a big part of Diddy's advance

and that did he saw him as sort of a

mentor now again I want to be really

clear that I'm making no allegations and

I'm not aware of any allegations against

Clive Davis but when you see it in the

context it really looks different but

I'll tell you the two creepiest

things there were two references to

grooming in the

documentary but both references were in

reference to grooming

musicians so he would find people who

were you know talented but not famous

and he would groom them and that was the

actual word they used so they used the

word groom twice in that

documentary how many doc mentaries have

the word groom in it twice it's a weird

thing so again I'm not making any kind

of accusations and I'm not aware of any

uh that anybody else was making but wow

does this look different when you put

the context of what you think you know

about the Diddy story that who knows how

much is

true well I Walter Isaacson says uh that

the quote the script will get flip

flipped next week on October 10th when

Elon introduces Robo taxi and things

that operate in the real world so so

we've got Ai and AI is the subject of

you know several of our biggest

companies so Elon Musk has his version

of AI and Google has theirs and

Microsoft and open AI have theirs Etc so

I didn't realize this but maybe I knew

it that um musk is making his version of

AI which is is called X AI U he makes it

open source whenever he releases the new

version so when he releases the new

version he makes the version just before

that open source for competitive reasons

maybe he wants to not not to make the

new one open um but then he reveals

it so here's what's here's my uh

observation so you're Elon Musk and you

are really good at

business models and making stuff

work he's making his model open source

what's that going to do to AI as a

valuable commodity in the future

shouldn't it bring it down to a

commodity are are we building the you

know the world's most expensive new

technology with these you know

multi-billion dollar uh chip-based data

centers and building nuclear power

plants just to power them them and that

when you're done because there's a

version of the same thing you just made

with all of your billions of dollars

there's a free one over here that's open

source don't they all become worth

nothing because the competition is free

well here's a free one so I

suspect that you need all the billions

of dollars to build the thing but once

you've built it how much smarter is it

ever going to get in other words when

you reach the point where it can't get

much smarter and it's already absorbed

the total knowledge and language

patterns of all all conversations

happened before and then it can also

search the internet and maybe update

itself once in a

while aren't you

done like there's some point where

there's nothing left to train it on and

then it becomes a commodity doesn't it

but suppose your Elon must

and you know that the AI is not just

going to be on your phone it's also

going to be in your robot and it's going

to be in your Robo taxi that will drive

itself when you call it and here's the

thing if mus can you know through making

uh the previous versions open source if

any of that turns out to make AI by

itself a commodity meaning that's the

economic word for meaning it's not worth

much you wouldn't pay much for it but he

also is the best American

manufacturer of complicated things so he

can make a car he can I guess they could

make their satellites wherever they make

them and he can make a

robot so if he makes a robo taxi and

robots nobody who's also making AI can

compete with him because the part

they'll be selling will be the commodity

that's worth nothing eventually the part

he's selling will be the super valuable

part because Americans can't manufacture

but he

can so what what is Microsoft going to

do if they've developed this AI that's

really cool but everybody else makes one

and they're all the same and maybe one

of them has less censorship so you like

it better I don't know it seems to me

that

musk may have

developed one of the best competitive

models you'll ever see which is going to

get the AI spend his billions but he'll

have robots to put it in and that's the

that's the secret sauce I don't

know we'll see I I don't see Microsoft

competing with him on manufacturing so

what are they going to have to sell

eventually good

question well Politico is mentioning

what we've all been thinking that the

the hurricane Helen since it hit some um

States that are important to the

election electorally speaking and they

also have more uh Republicans than

Democrats especially Georgia and North

Carolina the guy hit um Politico saying

it could change the election

result meaning that there'll be fewer

Republicans who can get to the polls and

it happens to be in some of the most

important

States and since the elections are

always

close this could be the difference it

could the actual hurricane is the

difference between who wins the

election now that brings us to question

number two which is um is FEMA and the

Biden Administration doing

enough or is there any regard to maybe

they're not doing enough because they

don't want to do enough in other words

are any decisions being made at the

leadership

level that are making it less likely

that Republicans will recover fast

enough to

vote now we're seeing lots of reports

that I don't consider completely um

credible yet because it's still fog of

War so we're seeing lots of reports of

just horrible horrible Behavior by FEMA

but also reports that the reports of the

horrible Behavior are fake it's way too

early to know what's going on are there

terrible inefficiencies in the system

well almost certainly but I imagine that

always looks that way you know if you

could see everything that's happening

during a disaster recovery I imagine

there would be all kinds of pockets of

what looks like incompetence and poor

communication probably kind of normal

because if you go into any war or well

you know you've heard the old thing

about um your battle plan only lasts

until the first bullet is fired and and

then after that you got to scramble to

figure it out or uh I think Mike Tyson

says that your uh your strategy for the

boxing match uh goes away after the

first

punch I feel like Disaster Recovery is

like that you got a great plan but then

you get there you go uh 130 substations

for Network are gone and all of our

communication uh now what do we do

so I can't tell from a

distance that FEMA is failing or should

have done something differently we can

tell for sure that a lot of people are

not getting served it's a little

different because there might be some

natural obstacles that are just unique

to this case the the massive amount of

and the widespread

electrical problem taking out all

communication means you can't even find

the people who need help so there's

something about this one that's

different than a lot of different

recoveries so it looks like incompetence

at a level that you almost think is

intentional how many of you would go so

far as to say that based on what you've

seen so far in the news or even other

reports it looks

intentional does anybody feel that way

that that the incompetence looks like an

intentional incompetence because they

don't want to really help the

Republicans um I don't see it so let me

see directly on a factual basis I don't

see support for that theory

factually will your election depend on

facts no as others have said this is a

Vibe election if you think the vibe of

one team is better than the vibe of the

other you're going to vote for the good

vibe but let me tell you the vibe that

white people are getting and I can't

speak for all white people but you can

see my post I posted today and you'll

see if people are agreeing or not so you

can determine it yourself but I'll tell

you the vibe I'm getting it feels like

the Democrats have gone from uh over

discrimination against white Americans

in the form of Dei and ESG very overt

obvious racial discrimination to

actually killing white people and

replacing them with immigrants now is

that a a factual statement no no it is

not did I say it was a factual statement

nope nope there I'm making no claim of

fact because I don't see the

facts but let me tell you how it

feels as a white person in America it

feels like they're murdering us

because they got away with everything

else so far and why wouldn't

they it feels like they're murdering us

it feels like we're literally targeted

for murder now again let me be very

careful that's not what's

happening that is not happening that is

not factually happening they're not

targeting us for murder so they can win

the

election but it feels like

it it feels like it

now does the fact that I am quite aware

that there's no factual support for that

does it change how I feel no it doesn't

because the pattern that's been that's

been um created by all of the other

activities the last several years looks

very much like an anti-white long-term

Trend to which everything is folding

under so the

vibe is not like anything I've ever felt

before now it looks

like it feels like

extermination it isn't it isn't and

there's no factual basis for that but

godamn it feels like it how many of you

feel the same way you do any of you feel

like like we've turned some corner here

and and the hurricane like again this is

a this is a false

signal I would be super surprised if we

ever learned that anything about the

hurricane had something to do with

politics I don't believe that that's

true but damn it feels like it it just

feels like it

and that's so I'm not trying to convince

you to feel like it I don't think that's

helpful but I just think you probably do

and if you don't think that that's going

to change people's behavior in voting I

think you're wrong I think that

Republicans and white Republicans in

particular are voting for their life and

I think that black Americans uh suddenly

got a tap on the shoulder it's like you

know

the massive

immigration that's not good for

you and your side's doing it and that's

not good for

you um and I think that black Americans

see it too so it's not like there's it's

not like any of this is based on race it

feels like it's political and they don't

care what race they have to manipulate

could be blacks could be whites they

just need the power so I think that's

why you're going to see a lot more black

Americans joining white Americans to

say what are you doing it doesn't even

look like you're on the team America

whatever you're doing it looks like it's

designed to destroy the country and I

think

anecdotally people are seeing

that Nicole Shanahan said she was

shocked by the intolerance of the

Democrats that she used to be because

when she left the Democrats to become

independent um apparently the people

that were friends and people who

respected her just

turned so it became socially and

business-wise she just became poison as

soon as she turned away from the

Democrats now keep in mind that she

didn't turn away from the Democrats to

Trump right away she turned to the most

Democrat family member you could ever

have which was

Kennedy and that was enough to be like

excommunicated forever and you know she

was basically dead to her friends and

and business people now here's the

here's the thing that I take away from

that correct me if I'm wrong because I'm

not a

historian the people who got on the

Mayflower the original

pilgrims correct me if I'm wrong but did

they not risk their lives to get on that

ship to cross an ocean under the worst

conditions to get the away from

these

right America was founded by people

trying to get the away from these

it's the same the same

are telling you how to live how

to think yeah it's the same

they're trying to take away

your free speech they're very pointedly

trying to do that they're trying to get

rid of all your

freedoms very

clearly yeah and if you don't think this

is

1776 is if you don't think this is time

for whatever blood it is that makes

Americans Americans to get our act

together and realize that we came here

to get away from this and

we're not going to let this happen again

men

men

men can you get it

together and vote and guess

somebody signed up

if you're a man in America and you

haven't gotten at least one other man to

sign up to vote to save this

country you're not a

man step up

men Step

Up This is the real thing by the way

this is not a drill this is the real

thing don't around it's time to

step up

all

right um this is interesting trend-wise

there are now at least four companies

that are looking at nuclear power just

for their own data centers because AI is

going to take so much Amazon just bought

a nuclear powered data center now I did

not know that a nuclear powerered data

center existed so this must be in

another country I don't know where that

is uh Oracle building some uh data

center that'll be powered by three

Nuclear Power Nuclear small nuclear

power plants and U Microsoft is looking

at Three Mile Island to turn it back on

the parts that still work and uh Google

is looking at nuclear power as well so

your biggest companies are looking

at having their own nuclear power now

look at the these look at these four

companies Amazon Oracle Microsoft and

Google

do they have enough clout to force the

government to let's say uh be smarter

about their regulatory environment for

nuclear yes they do if you just waited

for the government to say you know what

we've been looking at our regulations

and you know we think we should reduce a

few of these nothing's going to happen

our government does what it's paid to do

let's let's be honest it does what it's

paid to do and I don't mean paid to do

what the people want I mean paid by

donors special interests you know the

government does what it's paid to do so

now that we have our biggest richest

companies who absolutely positively no

doubt about it need nuclear energy or

they're

they're just going to pay the

government to get rid of the regulations

so they can do

it problem

solved if you believe our government is

as corrupt as I do

then the only way you can remove

regulations is that gigantic companies

who have the money to bribe anybody just

bribe people to get rid of the

regulations so they can go on with their

business I think at this point if you

don't own some stock in the nuclear

power

companies you might look back and say

why didn't I see that coming and by the

way um I should

note I do own stock in a Index Fund of

nuclear power companies for this reason

and I also I should have mentioned I do

own some stock in

Tesla um every once in a while I should

have mentioned to you that I own stock

in some of the companies I mentioned

I've got some Microsoft

stock I don't have any Amazon or

Oracle except in index

funds all right uh there's a new video

of KL Harris uh people are saying that

her teleprompter glitched it looked like

it I'm not sure that's the answer but

um uh NN is only one of the uh is only

one of the companies I've I've got a

different one I'll tell you about

later um so she's uh talking along at

her rally and maybe the teleprompter

glitched and she just started saying H

32 days until something ah 32 ah at

32 and you can even see the panic in her

eyes

and I was trying to say could you

imagine the teleprompter goes out and

let's say it's V

ramaswami is that a problem no no V can

do an hour within a teleprompter he

could do two hours with a teleprompt

let's say it's RFK Jr and the

teleprompter goes out is he in trouble

no no RFK Jr can talk for two hours

within a teleprompter and it will all be

brilliant if uh Trump is giving his talk

and his teleprompt it goes out which I

think has happened actually what happens

is he panicked no he does standup comedy

and it gets

better the crowd likes it better right

so you could go right down the line um

if if JD Vance lost his teleprompter is

he in trouble no no JD Vance can talk

for two hours without a teleprompter and

it all makes sense but KL Harris

couldn't do

it and we're actually looking at her as

maybe a

president you realize that in the

fullness of time it will seem hilarious

that this was ever close it's it's only

because the brainwashing operation from

the government is so powerful that

they've convinced people that this

should be a close race this one really

shouldn't be and by the way I do think

that most most elections I can

completely understand why they're close

when when Trump ran against Hillary

Clinton I had a strong

preference but Hillary Clinton is very

capable and very smart and very

experienced when she when she ran for

office this isn't like

that this is not that it made sense that

Hillary Clinton was very close in the

polls to Trump this doesn't make sense

I don't know how unreal our environment

can become but we've really reached some

kind of new level of are we supposed to

believe this that this election is

close no thank you I I choose not to

believe

it um there's a new deep fake um this

one's clever because it purported to be

some kind of hidden camera thing where

the the face of the person talking was

concealed but when you listen to the

words since you can't see a mouth moving

because the the face is blurred out uh

the words sound to me like AI or some

actor but it's the the

alleged person is suggesting that kamla

Harris is the owner of the cocaine that

was found in the White House I I would

give zero credibility to that and if you

couldn't tell that was a deep

fake you need to be a little more

cautious do you know how many people

couldn't tell it was a deep fake 2.1

million have viewed it so

far over 2 million people viewed it and

a lot of them you know re reposted it

so this is really dangerous because in

my mind it was obviously

fake but to a lot of people it wasn't

and what is it what is it about it uh

let me test you what is it about it even

without seeing it so you don't have to

see it to answer this question all you

have to know is the

topic what made people believe it when

it obviously looked like it was fake

what made people believe

it because it's because they wanted

to it it was a fun recreational story

that if if it if you could make a case

that it was KL Harris's cocaine in the

White House and again I'm aware of no

evidence of that whatsoever it's only

based on a fake video uh it would be fun

to believe and it would be compatible

with maybe some of your prior beliefs

it's just a bias yeah so the the Deep

fakes you have to worry about are not

the one this is this is my learning my

key learning here is that you don't have

to worry just about them looking real

this one didn't look real and it's still

sold because it was compatible with what

people wanted to believe so the key

lesson here is the Deep fake just has to

agree with what people are already

thinking and they will completely be

oblivious to how poorly you made it I I

hate to say that's true but you can see

it in this one

especially anyway there's a whole bunch

of conversation about the FEMA budget uh

people on the right say that FEMA gave

tons of money to settling or helping

migrants and therefore they're running

out money to help in um the current

hurricane situation FEMA would say and

Democrats would say nothing like that

happened those were different budgets

and different uh buckets and uh we never

spent the money for the hurricane stuff

it was just a different bucket blah blah

blah then Republicans would say

something like there's no such thing as

different buckets if if FEMA doesn't

have enough and you gave half a billion

to something else then logically that

was half a billion that could have been

available but isn't is that a good

argument uh I'm going to go with both of

them are full of so I'm going to

say I can't back either argument because

they both look like they're lying so I

don't believe the Democrats when they

say oh it's a different bucket but I

also don't believe the Republicans when

they say that's the reason that there's

not enough money or even that there

isn't enough money the White House says

there is enough we're we're giving them

everything they want so I think both

sides are lying on this story or

mistaken no I won't say lying I'll say

mistaken or or or they're they're

adapting a version that's compatible

with their preconceived notions let's

say I don't know what to believe on that

but I don't like

it um there was a story that uh the femo

was uh blocking private flights and

helicopters from bringing stuff in Elon

Musk got into it on the xplatform

because people were contacting him and

saying we've got this stuff but they

won't let us deliver it and then uh P

Buddha judge weighed in and said that's

not true nobody nobody's blocking any

flights and then mus tried to get in

touch with him and did and uh Buddha

judge was successful in Expediting the

approval of the flights in other words

Buddha judge was not aware

that there was something that needed to

be

expedited now is that a giant failure a

FEMA or Buddha

judge yes

yes yes it was a giant failure but I'm

going to put some context on it in the

context of uh this big operation with so

many moving Parts it's not that unusual

that the top person or persons are not

getting the information from the bottom

persons That's Not Unusual so my guess

is that Buddha judge literally didn't

know it was a problem until he fixed it

it was the fixing it that guaranteed it

was a problem because there was

something to fix so even Buddha says you

know that he

expedited you don't expedite during an

emergency unless something's broken

right because the Expediting is what the

emergency response is the entire

emergency response is an expedited

response so if he has to go in and

expedite the thing that should have been

expedited something was broken but he

did fix it so we'll give him that right

I I uh I tend to be very very generous

in my scoring during a

disaster because you know people are

just doing the best they can and I think

they are doing the best they can

um there's according to the hill a

Georgia judge has tossed out a lawsuit

about voting machines um because the the

judge says that

the the alleged uh let's say um holes in

the voting machine process are purely

hypothetical so some security risks were

presented to a folden County judge in

Georgia and the judge said you have not

made your case that uh these these

weaknesses in the system are purely

hypothetical now here's what you should

learn from

this if you have a computer or you have

a company you might be worried about the

cyber security of your company uh or

your own

computer if you're worried about the

cyber security of your company you

should see a

judge no no no some of you were saying

no why wouldn't I talk to a cyber expert

no you don't need a cyber expert to tell

you who can and cannot hack a

machine no you need a judge somebody

went to law school they're the ones who

can tell you if the security problems in

your machine are purely hypothetical or

the real kind you need to worry about so

don't worry people don't worry a judge

says that uh hackers can't get into the

machines no a judge said it stop

complaining a judge said it can't do it

have you heard about the event where the

hackers get all the newest uh well I

don't know if they're the newest they

they get all the uh voting machines in

one room and then they hack

them and they hack everyone every time

they're all

hacked but the judge says these

particular machines no problem it's only

hypothetical

so I don't trust

that have I told you that all data that

matters is fake and the closer you get

to an election the more Fake It is well

here are three takes remember you saw

the report that the jobs jobs are

looking great and uh the jobless rat is

under control what was the first thing

you said to yourself when you saw that

the job numbers look great right before

the election

well you probably said what I

said these numbers aren't

real do you know who else said these

numbers don't look

real um let's

see um I think it was uh Bloomberg and

CNBC so both Bloomberg and CNBC when

they saw the job numbers said uh

no so this is one those s situations

where you really have to divide the

world into people with experience in the

real world and people are

inexperienced suppose you're 25 years

old you're trying to decide who to vote

for and the numbers come out that says

the jobs are great and that may be the

thing you care about the most especially

if you're looking to you know work your

way up through the employment world so

you're 25 and you see that the jobs are

just killing it you're going to vote for

a Democrat

but if you happen to be experienced

let's say you're over 50 and you've seen

how the real world Works you've seen how

numbers are always weird when it gets to

the election and you know that they're

usually revised and often revised in a

major way downward but after the

fact if you had experience in the real

world and those numbers came out you

said what CNBC and Bloomberg said uh

no no these are real these are not real

numbers so I have I have that kind of

experience so as soon as I saw it I

didn't need to I didn't need to consult

with

Bloomberg I didn't need to consult with

CNBC they did not need to consult with

anybody either because if you have a

certain amount of experience in the real

world you just look at those numbers and

you shake your head you go no no I've

been saying the same thing about

science measuring the temperature of the

earth people in the business World tend

to give scientists like their own

space as in the scientists are somehow

immune from all the things that make

every other number fake they're not

immune it's exactly the same if it's a

political domain such as climate change

their numbers are as real as the job

numbers meaning that it's all motivated

numbers you can't trust any of

it so that's the difference between

being experienced and not experienced so

you can sell climate change to young

people because they do not yet know that

all the important data is

fake they don't know that but once you

know that everything that matters to

policy and to money is fake or at least

you shouldn't trust it then everything

looks different

suddenly all right so there are three

different arguments at least why it's

fake um so one of them is that the the

raw number might be realish but uh the

people who got the jobs are coming in

from other

countries and the people who got the

jobs are mostly government hiring so

there was massive government hiring oh

that's a big coincidence right before

the election H and there was

a a lot of people took part-time jobs so

basically the jobs numbers even if the

data was correct the way you would

interpret it could be opposite of the

number so the interpretation would be

hey jobs are way up good news everybody

great job Democrats or uh let's look at

the details of these numbers wait a

minute all the jobs went to people who

were not even citizens who just came in

the country this year oh that's the

worst thing in the world well it's not

the worst thing in the world but it's

bad so you can't even tell if the job

report is good or bad for somebody who's

a

citizen that's how bad our data is you

can't even

tell well CNN's Harry enton as talking

about the uh the poll results on CNN and

uh he says quote so there's no

historical precedent for the White House

Party winning another term in the White

House when just 28% of the country think

we're on the right

track and said simply put it would be

historically

unprecedented

huh so under the current

conditions if kamla Harris was judged

the winner on Election Day Harry Anon of

CNN has told us that we shouldn't

believe it was

real am I miss interpreting this Harry

Anon is saying that it would be

unprecedented

and there would be no history of this

ever happening in the United States for

somebody with such a low uh rating for

being on the right track would ever get

reelected so doesn't that automatically

mean that if Harris does get judged the

winner on Election Day that a reasonable

citizen would say there must be

fraud because this is so far under the

historical Norm that we can't certify

this

right am I

wrong now one of the reasons that people

didn't believe the 2020 election is that

there I believe you have to give me a

fact check on this but I think there

were some bellweather situations you

know places where the vote always goes a

certain way and you can rely on it where

it didn't and only in the kind of

critical places where it made a

difference to me that's pretty good

evidence of fraud it's not proof it's

not proof but I would say if Harry Anon

has told us a few weeks before the

election then nobody can get elected

with these

numbers and then they

do how am I supposed to interpret that

how am I supposed to interpret that

somebody gets elected with numbers that

you can't get elected

with do we say well I guess history

certainly surprised us this time I

might but it's far more likely I'm going

to suspect something was wrong with the

election well I would say the rigging

has already begun and maybe is already

done and has determined that Harris will

win so the amuse account which is really

high value account on X if you're not if

you're not following the account on X

called amuse just one word amuse you're

missing some of the best independent

reporting I mean it's it's a level above

anything you're going to see on TV news

and I don't even know who's behind it

exactly because it's sort of anonymous

but uh I get some of my best stuff just

from that one account on X amuse the

other one that's similarly good is

George follow those

two George is great I don't I don't know

who's backing George but wow he's got

quite an operation

going

um so here's what we know so we know

we've got the um potential

election weakness because if you're

voting overseas you don't need to show

that you're a citizen you don't need to

show your address or even your

ID and here's what the amuse account

tells us that between 2016 and

2020

um that there was a big increase in

non-military overseas ballots so I guess

we can tell fairly easily how many

military people are

overseas and that number stayed about

the same but the non-military people

skyrocketed in numbers of people who

voted in

2020 why would that be did did a lot of

people move overseas between 2016 and

2020 for non-military reasons I'm not

aware of

that um and of those votes coming in

um that were just the the overseas ones

that are

non-military how many of them do you

think voted for Biden in Fon County and

Maricopa two are the ones that we have

the most questions about well according

to amuse The Fulton County numbers the

votes for Biden that came in from this

suspicious

overseas unverified bunch of Voters uh

that uh 100% of them went for

Biden 100%

now you know that's not possible

right that that is proof of

rigging that's not a

suspicion that would be proof that would

be

proof um how about Maricopa 74% for

Biden do you think there's anybody from

you know you could take any group of

Maricopa people and get 74% for

Biden

no now these numbers if they're true

remember data is always suspicious but

if it's

true then we know exactly one of the big

sources of cheating so if you're

wondering hey was there cheating in 2020

yeah there it is there it is if the data

is

true if the data is true I would call

that um citizen level

proof meaning that I don't know what a

court would say cuz a court would

probably need you to track down every

you know vote and check the ID and stuff

like this but on a citizen

level like what what do you and I decide

is you know evidence versus proof to me

this is

proof If the data is true right I'll

still put an if on you know you always

have to wonder if the data sources are

good but if the DAT is true yeah this is

proof that the election was rigged and

that they plan to do it again

um there's a FBI whistleblower according

to the Gateway

pundit that says the FBI is planning to

have uh their own agents

undercover uh I think undercover I'm not

sure they said undercover but they would

be monitoring the meropi Maricopa County

polling stations to monitor the Trump

voters uh you thought I was going to say

the FBI was going to monitor the

election to make sure the election was

fair right

no they're going to

monitor the

monitors they're going to monitor the

Republicans now let's game this out

let's say you are an attorney and and a

election monitor you've been trained by

the Lara Trump uh Watley group and

you're you're like trained to be a good

Observer and suddenly you see something

that looks suspicious and you go to

everybody and say hey hey I'm I'm an

observer this is suspicious you know we

need to keep an eye on this or whatever

we need to

do what happens then well the Democrats

of course push back and they push and

they push but it's kind sort of a fair

fight you've got some attorneys that are

trained to do this so that's pretty

powerful but the Democrats are going to

push back hard and they're pretty

powerful so at least you got a fair

fight okay so that's the situation

without the FBI there now

imagine the same situation but the FBI

there are to make sure the observers

don't get out a hand so The Observers

say hey hey we just saw something in

that batch you got to stop everything

till we look at it Democrats say no no

no and then the FBI walks in says uh

what are you talking about and the

Republicans say this batch looks bad can

you can you help us you know we'll make

sure this one's guarded and then the FBI

says Nah I think it looks fine the Dem

Democrats say it looks fine and then

then what does the lawyer do the trained

lawyer Observer do well the trained

lawyer Observer is outranked now because

you're not going to not do what the FBI

tells you if you're a lawyer I mean most

lawyers so to me it looks like they're

just adding muscle so that the Democrats

can hide anything they want and The

Observers won't have enough clout to

make sure that they can check it when it

needs to get checked so to me it looks

like

now you could say but Scott this is not

proven in any Court no I'm as a

citizen I'm I'm using my own standards

for what I would consider proven versus

alleged or hypothetical to me if you put

the FBI in there to watch the um to

watch only the Trump

observers that would be a rigged

election in at least in that way it

would be rigged now keep in mind this

comes from a whistleblower I don't know

if the Whistleblower was um Anonymous if

it's an anonymous whistleblower will'll

give it the same treatment as the Trump

hoax which is anonymous doesn't count

Anonymous is not

evidence but if if he gave his name and

we know who he is or or he's at least

given his name to law enforcement or

something maybe maybe so keep an eye on

that

one uh Mark andreon famous investor in

Silicon Valley one of the big names

there um he teaches us something called

the iron law of oligarchy I've never

heard this before but it matches what

I've believed and it says that so

there's something called the iron law of

oligarchy and what it says is that all

forms of organizations no matter how

Democratic will turn into

oligarchies thus democracy is

practically and theoretic Ally

impossible yes that is

correct if you have a

democracy uh in a free market it's

inevitable and unavoidable that some

people will succeed more than others so

far you all agree that's just what a

free market is and then once those

people get rich they will of

course look at ways to stay

rich and they will look at ways to you

know increase their advantage and

they'll look around at other rich people

and say you know if you and I

agreed we'd be way more powerful than if

it were just one of us and they don't

even need to say the words because they

all know what's good for them and it's

probably good for you too fat cat and

then suddenly the oligarchies have so

much money and power that they start

running the show and that democracy

becomes just a a window covering or

something that makes the citizens feel

they're participating but really

not does that sound like

America yes yeah that's America I don't

believe there's any such thing as an

actual functioning

democracy and if there is it's a

temporary thing because yeah the to me

this is an iron law I don't believe it's

possible to have a long-term democracy

Republic situation I think it just

devolves into really the fat cats are in

charge and the citizens are diverted

into thinking the voting makes a

difference so this is closely related to

my observation that no Government Can

Survive free speech and that's why we

don't have it and never will now you

thought you had free speech for most of

your life but really you only had the

Free Speech to say things that the

mainstream would agree with otherwise

you were in trouble it didn't have to be

the government so so we watched the

government using social media platforms

and and foreign entities to censor

things in the United States and it seems

to pass the test of not violating the

First Amendment but we don't have free

speech I mean be real we don't have

anything like free speech ask Nicole

shananne she had free speech went from

being a Democrat to an independent and

suddenly

the the pressure from other citizens

because they've been brainwashed by

whom what why is it that Nicole Shanahan

gets so much bad treatment from

Democrats when she leaves the Democrat

field is it because those Democrats have

free will and they thought it out and

they thought that was a good way to

act nope they have been literally

brainwashed to not tolerate certain

kinds of speech and so they acted out

that way thinking it was their own

opinions it was not their own opinions

they were brainwashed and uh those

opinions were assign to them so as long

as your government can control the

media it can assign opinions to people

and part of its uh assignment is that

you know here's one of the opinions I'm

going to assign to you even though we

have this thing called Free Speech you

can't say that stuff so you can't say

stuff that's true if it disagrees with

what we're trying to push on people like

the pandemic situation and you can't say

something that would be bad for somebody

because they even made up a thing that

the constitution has something about um

Haze

speech it doesn't so hay speech is

completely legal under First Amendment

but uh there was a

poll that showed that uh women and

especially young women uh think that the

constitution already makes makes it

illegal to do Haze

speech which makes it really easy

for for Democrats to blame people for

hate speech and then get rid of their

speech because they've already convinced

two-thirds of women that that's a legal

and valid constitutional thing it's not

it's the opposite it's not legal or

valid to monitor or stop some of your

speech if you're the government if

you're the government it's not not

appropriate

so um here's a uh reframe that I hadn't

heard until this morning that's really

breaking my brain so this is a Mike Benz

again Mike Ben is a I'm gonna say this

as clearly as I can if you're not

following Mike Ben's

bnz you really don't know what's going

on because the stuff he does is not in

the news and it's so well sourced

and so well communicated you end up

listening to it and going oh wow I

didn't know that all right here's one of

those so you know that all these uh

dangerous looking people are coming

across the border and you're seeing all

these military age looking people from

different countries it's not even one

country it's not Mexico it's from all

over the world all these military age

people and then we heard that there's a

whole bunch of people that are you know

allegedly on the National Security list

you know there there's something about

them that automatically makes them look

like a national security risk probably

where they came

from and you're saying to yourself how

in the world is our government letting

this

happen well here's a spin you if you

haven't heard this this is going to blow

your freaking

mind first of all you do know that the

United States has for decades and

decades Tred to control as many other

countries as possible

to have influence over their government

to you know to you know do coups

to have protests so basically America

has tried with every mechanism they can

from military to financial to covert to

control every country we can because the

more we control them the more business

we can do so the oligarchy needs control

over other countries to get raw

materials and also to have markets so

really our CIA is sort of an extension

of our commercial Enterprises it just

make sure that they they're softening up

these markets and the sources of raw

materials so that it's good for good for

the free market basically good for

America

specifically

so as part of that process there's a lot

of training of rebels who might want to

take over their own country with

American

Support so we got 1.7 s a million

migrants who could pose some National

Security risk according to the the GOP

Judiciary Committee and Mike Ben says

this and my mind is completely blown by

this by the

way you have to listen to this

carefully uh Mike Benz if you follow my

streams you know why so you know why

that all these dangerous men are coming

into the country yes sometimes it's

recklessness and negligence so a lot of

it could just be we have bad borders but

most of the time DHS the Department of

Homeland Security is importing CIA and

Department of Defense backed

paramilitary

gangs and their families because they're

quote our guys in regime change Ops in

their countries of origin Haiti

Venezuela Venezuela Somalia

Etc Democrats support the military

intelligence up on political grounds

because they think it's changing the

voter demographics uh while Republicans

support the military intelligence op on

Commercial grounds because this is how

you get your cheap labor in other

countries and cheap

resources

so here's what I hate about this point

of

view it explains

everything it explains everything that I

don't know how you know how completely

accurate it is uh I'm willing to bet

based on Mike Ben's credibility that

there's some of that in the

mix the question I don't know and he's

he's not he's not giving us an estimate

because he wouldn't know either is what

percentage of it is our guys meaning

people that were trying to influence

maybe to send them back or maybe because

they already did something for us and

we're protecting them

but apparently there's some

big secret part of why so many men are

coming into the country now I would love

to think that our CIA and Department of

Defense are so capable that the the

dangerous looking people that are coming

in are going to be dangerous on our

behalf that feels like a lot to ask me

to accept I do not believe that our CI

CIA and Department of Defense can bring

a million 1.7 million people or whatever

the number is some subset of that uh and

that they can control that

situation so I don't know this one blew

my mind when I when I read it but uh uh

like I say Ben has high credibility on

this

topic Tucker Carlson had a interesting

uh

observation um when he was talking about

wokeness he he says wokeness is

basically just an anti-white racist

thing and one of the ways you can tell

that is that Ireland is

woke now Ireland basically was colonized

they weren't

colonizers it was they weren't a bunch

of white colonizers they they were

victims they got

colonized and I don't think they were

big on slave

ownership so why is everything going

white woke

in in Ireland What did the Irish

do doesn't matter as long as they're

white you need less of it apparently now

I'm exaggerating a little bit but it was

an interesting point if we can

understand why the wokeness in America

is driven by the bad behavior of white

people in

America but then the wokeness still

applies to a country where that argument

couldn't possibly make

sense then it tells you that the

argument in America probably is just

artificial

and that it really is

biological and it just has to do with

whatever group wants to be more in

charge let me tell you I have greatly

enjoyed growing up in a country where

people who look like me were the

majority for a while it made me feel

safer I feel safer in any group that

looks mostly like me just natural now

that would be the true for everybody I

think everybody would have that same

experience now I like diversity where I

live in California is wonderfully

diverse my neighborhood is wonderfully

diverse I love it it it actually is

terrific but literally it's terrific

um but you still feel if if everybody's

a stranger like if you didn't know him

you'd feel safer if everybody looked

like you it's just

biological so whatever is going on looks

to me more like people who are not

comfortable with a white majority and

they're trying to take down the white

people in any way that they can I don't

know that they necessarily

intellectualize it that way but I think

it's just such a

natural mammal impulse that you want

more things that look like you and fewer

things that look like something else so

that's probably what's

happening anyway um here's an

interesting thing Liz Harrington reminds

us that uh I've told you this story

before uh oh actually this is related to

the the overseas voting so at some point

uh there was a request in Pennsylvania

from a prior election to audit the

25,000 votes that came in from overseas

because remember Pennsylvania was really

close but there were 25,000 votes coming

from overseas and uh Pennsylvania some

people were asking to audit that because

that may have been the difference and

that may have been where all the

cheating was uh but that was uh stopped

who do you think uh oh of the 25,000

only 3,600 were military which means

again it was one of these weird places

where there was an unexplained large

number of non-military people overseas

who voted and didn't need any ID and

didn't have to prove that they were

citizens and didn't need an

address who do you think blocked

that remember I always tell you that if

you only know what the news is you don't

know

anything if you know the people and the

background of the people then maybe you

understand the news but if you don't

know about the people the story doesn't

make sense let me give you an example if

I just told you that Pennsylvania

blocked an audit of the overseas votes

from the prior election you'd say to

yourself oh well I'm sure they had the

reasons probably had their reasons okay

now I'm going to tell you who blocked

it it was then attorney general Josh

Shapiro he's the one who blocked

it lands differently now doesn't it so

the guy who blocked the audit was on the

short list to be

VP you know we always think we live in a

black male ocracy like everything is

based on who knows what about who you

know

Shapiro you could go places but not if

this audit happens you know what I mean

if the audit happens you might not be on

the short list if the audit does happen

you're going to be on the short list for

something really

good

so

yeah

um the butler rally as you know is

happening tonight I guess it's uh 5:00

p.m. eastern time and we believe that

Elon Musk is going to join now I don't

know uh what they've planned in terms of

where Elon will be fitting into the

proceedings but here's what I hope

happens fingers

crossed I want to see a SpaceX rocket

Landing in the field next to the rally

like Landing you know upright and then I

want to see Elon Musk get out of the

capsule and then go to the rally now I

know that's not possible but wouldn't it

be cool to show up in your own space

rocket it'd be very cool that's all I'm

saying it's not going to

happen maybe you could bring a robot

though just bring one robot come on Elon

you can do it bring us one

robot

anyway

um so I'd like to remind you about one

of my best predictions of all time now I

do this not only because I like to

brag which I do but because since my

show is largely about figuring out how

people think and work and then making

predictions it's important that I

revisit my predictions even if they're

wrong this one happened to be

right um I predicted that after Trump

lost in

2020 that every day from that point on

he would become more popular

so once he reached his you know depth of

unpopularity around January 6 I said

every day after that he would become

more

popular here he

is here he

is more

popular

so that that really was one of my best

predictions I predicted that if he lost

the Republicans would be

hunted I hate that that was right now

Democrats still think that's not true

because they don't get real news but

clearly Republicans have been haunted I

mean there's no doubt about that at this

point

anyway so um also uh the head of hamas's

military

Wing um has been killed in a targeted

attack by Israel so they took out the

head of the Hamas military Wing but also

his family at the same

time um it looks like he got him at

home

now I'm no

terrorist

Mastermind but I'm going to give a

little bit of advice for those who are

if you plan to be an international

terrorist or or even a local one like

amas don't work from home yeah don't

don't

telecommute if you're a terrorist

far better for you to go to work and

maybe maybe sleep in the office for

until the trouble goes over you don't

really want to go to work and manage

your terrorist International terrorist

gang and then go home to the family and

sit around the the dinner table and have

dinner you're going to blow up with your

family now how many times have we seen

these masterminds of international

terrorist groups

groups driving around with their

families I mean it makes sense that

people go home to their family but this

is the one time you really

shouldn't you really shouldn't go home

to your family if you're being hunted by

Israel it just seems like not loving

your family enough if you know what I

mean so I don't want to make jokes about

uh people's death but I will note that

when we get all uh we got all bent out

of shape because somebody's celebrating

some tragedy that happens in the United

States we're not better than

that we're not we we celebrate tragedies

that happen in other places if it's

somebody we don't like and unfortunately

that's just who humans are so I'm not

happy about it all right ladies and

gentlemen that completes my prepared

remarks I think you know that the dilber

calendar for 2025 is back after taking a

year off and now better than ever

because you have comics on the back the

Dilbert reborn and then the classic ones

on the front like they always were twice

as many comics and uh you can only get

it at the link at dilbert.com you cannot

get it in bookstores this time you used

to be able to you cannot get it on

Amazon this time the only place you can

get it is the one link that you'll find

on dilbert.com and then of course I've

reissued wind bigley um in time for the

election cuz if you want to figure out

how could Trump go from January 6 worst

of everything to back at the top of the

race this will tell you so this is about

uh persuasion in the context of the 2016

election which will tell you a lot about

what tools he's using in the the current

run and it will allow you to be more

powerful and effective in your own life

all right so get that that one's at

Amazon so you can get that at the normal

place um and only in I think it's only

on Amazon and maybe in one other

bookstore uh maybe at Barnes & Noble I

think so anyway uh I'm going to say bye

to X and Rumble and YouTube and I'm

going to talk to the uh subscribers on

locals privately thanks for joining you

are amazing and fun as always so locals

I'm coming at you in 30 seconds it'll

take a little bit time for that change
