Episode 2637 CWSA 10/23/24

bad but it's just drifting down but the good news is you're about to have the show of all shows probably better than anything you've ever seen good morning everybody and welcome to coffee with Scott Adams the highlight of human civilization if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cuper mugar glass a tankered shellin a canteen sugar 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 makes everything better today might be coming with a commercial message don't look at it delicious that's right 2025 calendar dber calendar it's available only at the link on dilbert.com it's not going to be on any other place you got to go to dilbert.com and see the link made in America anyway other uh other news uh you might know that uh The Young Turks Jen yuger had uh asked for somebody to debate somebody to say that Trump was the right answer for the country and I was a little bit slow on responding to some emails because I volunteered so I missed I missed my spot I I overbooked so I couldn't do it on Thursday which is tomorrow and I think he has some other some other people who volunteered to do that but I will be a guest on The Young Turks on Monday so I'll still get to talk about the same topic but it will be Monday uh I believe The Young Turks starts at 8:00 pm uh Easter time on Monday so I'll be a guest and again um I I just I'm a fan without agreeing with his opinions of Jen because I just like his mental flexibility and I like the fact that he'll talk to anybody and he doesn't seem to be afraid of anything at least in the conversation realm so I just kind of like that so it doesn't matter if we agree I can I can still appreciate that anyway there's a uh study according to s poost that excessive news consumption predicts increased political hostility huh so the more you look at at the news the more you hate people you probably know what I'm going to say but I'm going to say it anyway you didn't really need to study that you could have just asked me Scott we were going to spend a bunch of money on a study to find out if watching the news makes you hate people and I would say yes if you spend five minutes looking at the news well no we haven't well you should do that why don't you just spend 5 minutes looking at the news and you tell me if you don't hate the world more oh good we'll just save some money we'll do it your way again everybody in the me in the scientific Community just ask me first I can save you a ton of money that whole study unnecessary meanwhile according to scitech this will sound like the smallest story way bigger than you think it is way bigger apparently you know science has been trying to create an artificial nose for a long time and they can kind of do it but it's real complicated and has lots of you know lots of components and stuff but apparently now there's a way to make a simplified very effective way to use some kind of an antenna and send out some kind of a signal and see what kind of a signal you get back and that will tell you what smells or gases in the in the air and it does it really well so pretty soon your robots going to be able to smell things this is a bigger deal for me because I don't have a sense of smell you I lost my sense of smell some time ago and uh if I had a robot in my house I would want the robot to be able to know if there's a gas leak because you know the gas leak smells like rotten eggs but I can't smell it uh I I was once years ago in my first marriage I was in a condo and step kids were doing their thing and I was doing my thing and uh my my axe was out for the day doing whatever and she comes home and she walks in the door and she's like my God you know open the windows the house is going to blow up you know it's filled with gas and I said really couldn't smell a thing but appar but she could and so we we managed to not blow up the entire block but there had been I think the the pilot or something on the on the oven was on so yes I need a robot that can smell some stuff uh they might even be able to sniff out disease but think of the other things it could do imagine if you had this smelling antenna in your location and then some criminals come in and they do some crimes but there's no video would it be possible to to use the electronic nose to then get a sample from the perss should you ever catch them and and see if they're guilty based on their smell because you may have recorded their smell at the location and there would be it's probably like a fingerprint so there's a whole bunch you know if you assume that smell is like for humans the the underappreciated sense you know my dog has super smell it if we had robots with super smell I feel like a whole bunch of things would happen that you don't see coming so I think it's a big deal and you should trust science and I uh I encourage you to always believe science whatever science says it's all true if science says it our next story is a n is from nature the publication turns out that the journals with the high rates of suspicious papers flagged oh so there's this startup that has some kind of mechanism for determining uh which of the scientific papers are bogus it's called Argos Argus that's the name of the startup or the system that looks for uh research papers that look like they're not good let's see uh how many do they find I mean there can't be that many right because we we all trust science so I mean sure nothing's perfect but if it's science probably you know I'd be worried they they might find like a dozen papers or so that are just made up I mean imagine how shocking that would be if they found like you know maybe 20 science papers that were just made up that would really rock your confidence wouldn't it but imagine if it was like 50 you what what if they found 50 science papers that had been accepted as peer-reviewed and then turned out to be just totally false I mean you can't you know see how many was it um they flagged more than 40,000 high risk and 180,000 medium risk papers and they've indexed more than 50,000 retracted papers okay that's a little worse than I thought it was now these are just flag the 40,000 high-risk but the but the tool is saying that there are 40,000 papers that you probably shouldn't count on now let me ask you this suppose I created this system on paper and it never existed before it goes like this if you want to be a scientist you got to publish papers well all right so far so good yeah that makes sense because then you can tell if the scientists are you know really up on their field and stuff good yeah scientists should be able to publish things that we're going to have a peer review there'll be other scientists who will look at it not not to totally make sure that's fine but to weed out you know obvious quacks and stuff and I think to myself yeah that makes sense that does make sense yeah uh and now we're going to give an incentive structure to the scientists that they will make lots of money if they publish but they won't make lots of money if they don't oh okay well yeah I suppose anything that you want to be done you want to have a little Financial incentive for sure so sure sure now how do you think that's going to turn out well if you dropped a weasel into that situation they would say what if I just make up a bunch of papers make them look like they're good send them to my buddy who's the cousin of my brother-in-law to do the peer review he probably won't even look at it or I'll send it to somebody who always says yes and they'll definitely get peer reviewed and then I'll get huge bonuses and I'll be paid to speak at events what would stop you from doing that well apparently not much because you don't hear about people who are shamed forever because their papers didn't you know were retracted so it seems to me that even on paper what that should have left led to given the financial incentive eventually all science will be fake because the fake science is so easy and it pay so well that eventually it will just overwhelm anything that's real and even if there is some real stuff you wouldn't be able to find it it' be it'd be lost in all the the wrong stuff so even on paper this guarantees that science would go off the rails now I don't have a better idea you know there might be a better idea out there maybe this Argo system is part of it but uh even on paper that was going to lead to Doom pretty much guaranteed um according to modernity which is some kind of publication I think uh witches are complaining on the Reddit uh platform I guess a lot of witches on the Reddit platform um they're complaining that they can't cast spells on Trump because quote he has some kind of protection around him so the witches are trying to put spells on him but they're not getting through got some kind of protection so sounds like they're on to me but uh I'll try to keep protecting Trump from The Witches uh it's taking a lot of energy but so far so far my protect to spell is holding let's let's see if that continues don't tell The Witches by the way don't don't tell them what's going on but I've got a little protective bubble around trump it does uh it can it can deflect a bullet you know if a bullet is heading at his head I can I can move it just off base maybe hit his ear a little bit but I can't do everything I mean it's not magic oh it is Magic yeah it's magic it'll work fine Wall Street Journal is now suing Jeff Bezos back perplexity app I keep talking about this app because this is a rare thing um usually when I try an app I would say one out of 20 of the apps that I try I end up continuing to use they're usually overrated or they're for some specific purpose or you know they don't work or something but I tried this perplexity app it's the one that is sort of AI plus search and I can't go back if if you spend five minutes using perplexity and by the way I was getting so annoyed because whenever I brought up something about Google search the people in the comments would say try perplexity you'll if you try it you'll never go back it's so good why haven't you tried perplexity and of course my brain was doing the one in 20 thing yeah there's a one in 20 chance I might like that app you're talking about that I've never heard of and I don't know what it does but eventually I said to myself there's so much yapping about this app I got to try this app when you got a lot of Yap you got to try the app you that's what I say so I tried it and um it is so sticky wow so let me let me tell you how I get ready in the morning a common thing I do I used to try to talk to AI regular AI like Chad GPT but there's almost nothing I want to talk to AI about that doesn't require it to have access to the internet to look something up tell me what's new tell me the weather anything I have no interest in its General patterns of words yes you have General patterns of words you're not a person and you do not have information that is reliable so what are you what's what's even the point of AI at least for you know casual use I I don't even know so but if you use perplexity uh it doesn't have conversation mode but you can you know push a button to talk and you can push another button to listen to what it says so I'll do things like I'll have some thing in my head and I'll be push the button they'll say is it true that the the Moon is really made of cheese and that somebody found that out in the 50s whatever it is I'm just making that up and uh it cogitates for a moment and then I pick push the speaking button and then it gives me a little a little customized news report and it's great it's just great and uh everything I ask it shows me the sources doesn't seem to it doesn't seem to show me any sponsored stuff but maybe it does it just doesn't have anything labeled um so I'll be I'll be real interested to see if these big uh media entities can kill it um and why wouldn't they be going up to Google is there something that perplexity is doing that Google doesn't do routinely Google shows the the big Publications shows a link to it right they both just summarize them and show link so I don't know sounds like there might be something behind these lawsuits that's more than just protecting intellectual property well Nicole Kidman who's 57 years old which is important to this story she's uh doing a new movie in which she's an older woman having an intense love affair with a younger man and the story is that uh she had to pause the filming it's called baby girl that's the name of the movie she had to pause the filming because she didn't want to orgasm anymore because she was getting so aroused by the sex scenes that she was having so many orgasms that she just had to take a break now ladies and gentlemen I give you the best marketing campaign for any movie in the history of movies do you believe that she was having continuous orgasms with people in the room not having real sex and moving the camera angles and move your elbow and you're on my hair and can you can you turn a little bit in this direction I do not I do not no I no I do not believe that she had any orgasms while she was filming it I do believe that as soon as I read she had so many orgasms filming it I said to myself well make a mental note I might want to watch it I might want to watch sh so oh my God that's good marketing so I'm going to give Nicole Kidman my uh highest grade for persuasion I don't care if it's true by the way it's a movie right she's creating a piece of fiction if she used the P you know if if she used the piece of fiction to Market her piece of fiction I'm okay with that I'm totally okay with that it's Fiction it's fun it's entertainment if if part of the entertainment is some you know BS in the marketing that's fine it's just part of the show go ahead meanwhile Boeing expects to make a big third quarter loss and they've also got a big strike coming and I think they had a they had a satellite blow up and they don't know why and so boeings have a lot of problems I did hear somebody speculate that Boeing's problems may not be totally organic meaning that um if you were China and you were trying to compete with the United States and you were trying to compete especially in the the really important areas such as um not just manufacturing but manufacturing of high-tech stuff like Airlines um and China has some new competitor to the Boeing products that you would try to get your competitor to embrace Dei now I don't have any evidence that China is behind the Dei practices of Boeing because if they were they'd have to be behind the Dei of everything in America and then I say but are they the the thing about Dei is that it's no more believable as an organic thing than black lives matter or antifa were and those were B both fake as far as I know I mean it's no more believable than the the Patriot front so I don't know I I do suspect that there's at least the possibility so again this is recreational speculation this not based on any knowledge that someday we might find out that one of our regional adversaries and I'll say just economic adversary um may have planted the Dei flag in America to see what damage it could do uh because they knew they wouldn't be they wouldn't have the same problem in their country so it wouldn't spread to them it would be the ideal virus yeah when I call it a virus now you get it don't you because when the actual virus came out of China was really really bad for people but Dei is basically a mental virus You Know M virus and it's one that China is immune to they're immune to it so they could unleash that virus on the rest of the world and they would dominate all manufacturing forever and essentially dominate the world without conquering anybody militarily so they could conquer most of the western world with a Dei virus does that mean that they were behind it no it doesn't it does mean that if you came to me and said uh Scott you're the you're the head of China and I've got this plan to dominate all manufacturing of high-tech and everything else so that we'll effectively run the world because nobody can operate without our products here's what we'll do we'll we'll fund anything that has to do with Dei and of course the people taking the money will be happy to take the money and spread it and that will make people feel really guilty if they're not accepting this thing that's so obviously good for everybody and it'll be like a virus and it will destroy Manufacturing in the United States without benefiting anybody so even the Dei people thought hey it's going to lift everybody up to equity it would in fact crash the industry so everybody's poor but about the same we'd all be poor and starving and cannibals so I don't have any reason to believe that China was behind Dei but again on paper if somebody had brought that idea to me and I were in charge of China I definitely would have implemented that idea and said you know what I think this little idea virus will destroy the United States at least as a manufacturer superpower well so you never know there's a uh there's a video that's coming out of Seattle uh PJ media has it um and it apparently shows um the ballot machine not working so this is Oregon uh and here here's what I want to say about that that I wouldn't trust any of the anecdote total election reports so there are other stories of machines that are reversing votes I don't quite believe those because they're a little bit on the nose they don't seem to ever get any like major media backing uh and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened once and that maybe there's some process where it's immediately corrected or something so I can't say it I can't say there isn't a problem I'm just saying that it would be dicey to believe any of the individual Reports most of them will be fake but we don't know which ones um I did see a report today I and I saw the documents I can't be specific about it but apparently NBC is hopefully sending out guides to people to tell them how to vote in their state and reportedly and I I saw the screenshot so it's not being made up NBC has wrong instructions for some New York State residents it says that to vote by mail you need a um a witness or a what do you call it the person who's an official witness now I think that's not true but so imagine if you were basing whether or not you voted on whether you had a a witness that's kind of a big mistake yeah for so I'm taking a few assumptions my first assumption is that the New Yorkers do not need a witness to vote by mail and the second assumption is that the screenshot I said that I saw that seemed to come from NBC saying that you do need it that that would be incorrect notary sorry yeah the word I was trying to think is notary so the the notice was that you need a notary or a witness and apparently that's just not true now that's a pretty big problem if it caused anybody to not vote because they didn't think they could get a witness I don't know who came get a witness but there's always somebody um so I don't know what to believe let's see according to uh Byron York little post on X Gallup did a has been been studying trust and media for over the years and apparently the Democratic Trust in Media and their confidence in the media spiked in two years in the recent past do you know what years the Democrats had the big spike in believing that the news is real 2016 and 2017 in the middle of the Russia collusion hoax the the biggest lies the media's ever told to you that's when Democrats trust in the media was Skyhigh compared to historically and Republican trust went into the toilet now doesn't that settle who the Smart Ones are that kind of settles it doesn't it because these two were not close the Republicans were completely right and remain completely right about the fake news Democrats were completely wrong they actually trusted the news more probably because it was on their side and they wanted to trust it but oh my God it's like we found the problem and I I often say you can't really have a conversation about anything important with anybody who thinks the news is real I mean if you believe the Washington Post is like real news on politics you would be so lost so lost well here's your propaganda update uh remember I tell you that if you know what happened you don't know anything but if you know who is involved well you might know everything so Bob Woodward who many people were smarter than me say has always been part of the intelligence apparatus of the United States including his uh his his actions in the uh Watergate stuff but if that's true does it make sense that he just went on CNN and said that Joe Biden might get the Nobel Peace Prize for his good work in Ukraine for preventing Americans to getting into a ground war does that sound like something that somebody just thought was their own opinion and it would be good to say on TV or does that sound like propaganda and he would think of himself I can't read his mind so I don't know what he's thinking but does it look like that was a real opinion because he's not stupid you you don't get to be Bob Woodward if you're literally just stupid he's not stupid so why would you say this which is obviously ridiculous the only reason you would do it is propaganda I mean it doesn't have any news value whatsoever there's no news it's literally just weird propaganda let's see is there any other propaganda happening so there's publication called the Atlantic which is owned by Steve Jobs Widow and here's here's the thing we need to make a distinction between news which is biased and pure propaganda CNN is biased but they do show quite regularly and I give them credit especially recently they they have Scott Jennings on almost every night giving the Republican view of all the stories and they've got two or three other people who look like they're pretty capable uh I forget their names but they they they're also Republican voices so whenever there's a panel of five people they throw in the one Republican and I don't mind bias when it's transparent if you show me five uh left leing people and one right leing person at the table I know what you're doing you're not making it even I get it but it's also completely transparent you know when Fox newss does it if they have you know the the one Democrat at the on the five and four of them are the the opposite opinion I'm fine with that because nobody's hiding anything hey we're we're leaning in this direction but we'll let you see the other side now that is completely different than something like the Atlantic the Atlantic is a just a pure propaganda entity but because they're both Publications in some way you know media entities we we act like they're all legitimate the Atlantic is not legitimate and we keep we keep acting like we should talk about it like it's one of the media sources it's not really it's not even close to being anything like news or just like it's not even biased news it's just pure propaganda at least on the political stuff so Jeffrey Goldberg who these smart people say is one of the most famous political Liars in America like he he has a he has a a history of known gigantic lies where surely he knew he was lying when he did it now that's the accusation against him and uh there a number of specific examples that the smart people like Glenn Greenwald who watch this stuff will give you so if you want to know the examples follow Greenwald but his latest hoax is that General John Kelly says that Trump said that Hitler did some good things and he wishes he had some generals like Hitler or something like that now it doesn't matter because you know it's made up how do you know it's made up because it's in the Atlantic you don't have to wonder if it's made up it's in the Atlantic that's all you need to know it is John Kelly General Kelly is he a uh reliable and credible Source no not even a little bit you would be the opposite of that based on past experience so no there's no evidence that any of that happened it's in the least um the least credible outlet and the story is by the least credible person and the least credible Outlet so but of course it's news because propaganda is news to anyway um we really should have a list of the things which are not really even trying you know the Washington Post sometimes a little bit will show a little bit of the other side but I think when it comes to the political stuff you could call them pure propaganda they don't seem like they're trying too hard to show both sides anyway the latest is that kis will not be on Joe Rogan but Trump will be I think on Friday and uh she will not be on the all-in pod which Trump has already done and those are not the wrong decisions if I were in charge of the Harris campaign I would tell her not to do those because she has the option of only doing friendlies if you have the option of only doing friendlies and not having anything that's unexpected well why would you why would you you know she Harris was at this uh I guess they called it like a town hall with uh Maria shriber and uh somebody in the audience asked if they can ask questions and and Sher told her no the questions are predetermined so what's the audience for so they've got an audience of question askers but the questions are already written so the audience was there as props to pretend that the questions have some you know some organic organic uh history to them but Maria was uh at least totally honest in public and said nope uh you do not get to ask questions these are pretty determined so you've got one person running who is in my opinion the most capable Persuader maybe one of the most capable presidents we've ever had when people complain about Trump it's weirdly that he'll be too capable now they add to the too capable that he has bad intentions which are not evident as far as I could tell but if he add together very capable with in their view the propaganda view that he has bad intentions that could be scary but it's funny that they've completely stopped with the you know he's incapable stuff it's just obvious that he has capabilities and he has strong strong capabilities he was President he showed it we see what Biden's done doesn't look so good compared to what Trump did so it's now really clear that Trump was a highly capable operative maybe you don't like his policies like if he didn't like what happened with abortion for example but nobody says he didn't get it done nobody says he didn't uh put on the court people who would get done things his party wanted so if you just look at stuff he did even if you don't like it you still have to say you got it done now you could argue well he said he'd build the the wall but he didn't get it done well that was entirely because Democrats pulled out all stops to stop him from doing the thing that even they want to do now so I mean is that really if they if they put out if they pull out all the stops to prevent you from doing something that everybody wants it's not exactly his problem I mean that's something else going on but Harris on the other hand is the least capable candidate for president I think we've ever seen in American history I would love to know if historians could even come up with a second one because we've got somebody who can't even go to an interview unless it's a friendly that they know the questions that's the lowest level of capability that's the level that you could pick anybody at random and they could succeed all right we're going to pick you at random can you read from this teleprompter um yes yes I can okay good you can do a rally can you memorize an answer to a question if we give you a week to memorize it yeah yeah I could do that I could do that well now you can be president of the United States it's literally all she can do she can just take prepared memorized questions and she can do reading off a teleprompter and she can do Angry yelling like Hill Hillary Clinton did and she can tell a bunch of lies about the other side nobody she's never been this is the most incapable candidate I've ever seen now there may have been worse ones for congress I'm sure there have been but we've never seen anybody this bad in terms of just minimum capability yeah I I usually am am picking you know when I'm looking at president candidates I usually think I'm picking something like um their policy preferences because usually I think well you know Bush versus Gore very highly qualified capable people it really was about the policies right um if you looked at you know Clinton versus Dole very qualified people highly qualified so it's about the policies but this the Comm haris thing is not about the policy at all it's about I don't even know if we could survive having this level of leadership or lack of it I mean that is bad stuff all right let me tell you the most dangerous story of the day you ready this is under the category of recreational belief I'm going to tell you a tale um but I'm not going to tell you I believe it I don't disbelieve it I don't disbelieve it but I definitely don't believe it and I'd be looking for your help to tell me if there's some reason I shouldn't believe it or some reason I should all right so this is based on a post by uh Patrick burn uh you know him he was the CEO of overstock.com but um his resume is very impressive um I've taken a look at it and you can tell that he's a really smart guy and he's been really connected in a lot of things you know for real so his his ability to see behind the curtain would be better than most but here's what we have to decide is what I'm going to tell you another Kraken or is it the truth because the Kraken is when you think oh no now I know everything and then you go out and you talk about it and then you become Sydney Powell and then you lose everything and you get sued and you know now in the end Sydney Powell I believe um was shown to be faultless am I correct now she was going to lose her license or something but but I don't think any of the claims she made about the election ever became a legal problem that was confirmed by a court in other words I don't know that her accusations were debunked maybe you do I don't know so I just don't know but here's roughly what Patrick burn will tell you look in you can look on his account and you'll find it today it's it's brand new just happened hours ago and it's um a six-part but small parts you know like six six minute things something like that uh in which he describes the little bit of the history of Venezuela and how that affects our elections I know I know I hear your thoughts I hear them I I get it it's the Kraken isn't it it's definitely fake isn't it well I don't know I have no way to know so I'll just tell you roughly what he says and if this doesn't make you interested enough to listen to the whole thing then you're dead inside because the story he tells is so freaking interesting that recreationally you're going to love it even if it turned out you know not to pass the fact check and I don't know I really don't know so for for legal purposes allow me to say the following every company person or country that I mention in this context is just because of something I heard not because I think it's true my opinion on whether it's true is suspended I don't know I really don't know and usually usually I have a strong inkling but I don't have inkling on this one it's really weird so here's the story Venezuela is not a regular government and there for years it's been a a gay cartel and that the gay cartel is not something that's separate from the government it is actually the government and that the generals in Venezuela are the head of the cartel and it's the richest most powerful for cartel in the world the president would again also be head of the cartel so but here's the fun part according to Patrick burn the Venezuelan head of the cartels are basically a p didy model of male rape right so the way Venezuela is being held together is that the people in charge who are generals or you know presidents and stuff are literally just raping the other men to keep them in line and that it's it's so common that it's not even like there are a few bad eggs it's more like the main operating system of Venezuela is men other men to keep them under control is that true well I would have said that didy thing wasn't possible you know prior to the Epstein stuff I would have said that's not something that happens in the real world but I guess it does happen in the real world I just don't know if it happens in Venezuela now the the gay part is probably more bisexual than gay meaning that most of them are married probably have regular marital relations but apparently there's a lot of male raping that's the claim now that doesn't have a lot to do with the bigger story and again this is Patrick Burns claims these are not my claims I have no idea what is true and what's not but the story goes like this sometime in the past when the Venezuelan um cartel wanted to make sure that they had a good control over Venezuela it uh sent three Engineers to start a company uh software company for election machines and although they started it in in the United States so it would look like a US company registered in Delaware uh there would actually be sort of under the control of some Venezuelan characters and then that software allegedly um in different forms ended up in all voting machines so even companies that have different names and I'm not even going to name the names because you know all the names of the companies that there that the Venezuelan fake software meaning software that was designed to rig elections and that was the only purpose for the company was to design rig machines and that that rigal software although it has been Rewritten in other languages is on all the machines so that so that there isn't any voting machine anywhere that doesn't have Venezuelan software on it now do I think that's true I don't know well I don't know it's a of a story it gets better there's also a claim that the hardware for most or all these machines uh which looks like it's coming from Taiwan is actually from mainland China and they just launder it through Taiwan so you think it came from Taiwan so the claim is that our elections are determined by Chinese hardware and Venezuelan cartels and that every every country that uses any kind of voting machine is controlled by Venezuela in other words Venezuela gets to decide who is the president in every country that uses voting machines and that somehow Castro was part of that as well now that's a pretty big claim isn't it so I I can't really wrap my head around that as all being true um will say that if you look at the materials you know you look at the the video that Patrick burn did by the way I think he has a book I believe he's got a book out so maybe this is you know some of this is related to that but it all hangs together so that doesn't make it true but it would explain so many things and one of the things I always think about is that in my world you know I I see the world through a dilber filter that whenever I hear something like oh our CIA is super competent and you know they got control of everything I always say to myself do they do they is is the CIA the one highly capable organization in the world and everything I've ever been involved in was a mess but but not the CIA no everybody's good except you know everybody's bad except the CIA they're just they're just nailing it every year maybe but the other possibility is that they're terrible what if they're terrible they might be if they're terrible then it would be entirely possible that some criminal entity is running all of our elections and several of the elections around the world but the the American version of this is that the CIA is the one overthrowing all the countries and you maybe the CIA is behind the the voting machines now one possibility is that that's exactly why the story exists so that you don't suspect that the CIA is behind everything maybe so what we what we can't determine and if any of you have any insight into it it' be great is is this um the great reveal or is it just another diversion so that you don't expect the the real bad guys what do you think you you're going to have to hear the whole video to to have an informed opinion because I'm just giving you the highlights but I feel like it would be reasonably impossible to confirm the following facts or to debunk them number one do we know that the hardware is made in China and just labeled as Taiwan there's probably some source for that I don't know what the source is uh is it true if you took every every voting machine everywhere and looked at the software even though the language might be different that it's basically the same line forline code and that it came from a Venezuelan Source those seem like things that you could possibly find out are true or false and I haven't so I don't know but I'll tell you it's it's such a a mind eer that you know when when the Epstein thing comes out you have to like change everything you think about everything and the Russia collusion story comes out and you have you have to change everything about how you see the world and the the 51 Intel people who said the uh the Biden laptop thing was fake and you've got to change everything you're thinking about the world and then the Diddy thing comes out and you have to change everything you think about music and then this come out right in the middle of all that and now I have to change everything I think about everything if it's true but if it were a diversion or or a way to discredit people like me because if you if I talk about it then I get discredited later so I've already said enough that the Atlantic could write a hit piece about me say that I'm pushing a story about Venezuelan cartels running the elections do you see how this works now this is not something that CNN or Fox News would do because again they're biased but they don't operate as a purely propaganda entities they you know they're they're transparent but the Atlantic or the Washington Post are kind of a different animal I've already given them enough that they could write a story that would seem like I believe it and I'm pushing it and maybe I'm part of a Russian propaganda or Venezuelan G right don't you think you could take what I've already said and then if nobody was going to check what I said originally because people don't you could just write an article and people would believe it oh he's pushing this thing so my my interesting situation is this I'm drawn to risk so sort of a flaw of mine when something's dangerous I tend to go toward it and it was very dangerous for me to even tell you that Patrick burn has a uh a story to tell and the basic idea of what it was very dangerous it could be the end of it could be the last time you see me basically it could be that dangerous but I tell you for sure that I genuinely don't know if it's true I genuinely I don't even have a I don't even I'm not even leaning in One Direction and that's rare so the fact that I'm not even lean meaning in One Direction is also telling me something but I'm not entirely sure what it's telling me now I haven't seen anybody debunk him that doesn't mean it doesn't exist I do have some feelers out to see if I can get a better handle on it if I find out something I'll let you know but I don't suspect that if if you look at all the claims about our election systems you know these included it's certainly hard toag that we're going to have a good result and um here's uh What uh let's see speaker Johnson said he said uh he doesn't expect that we'll have a a result in the election so Mike Johnson the speaker said he expects Democrats to refuse to certify election results of trump wins now would that be unusual turns out no that would be normally what they so according to Johnson the post Millennium has the story quote Democrats have now made it a tradition to object to electors certain States uh of electors and they have done so every single time a Republican president as one in the last quarter Century now I didn't know that that uh the Democrats have have called fowl on every single time a a republican won and of course it would work the other way as well right if if the polls say that Trump's going to win but Harris wins in the last minute and you know votes come in at the middle of the night um so under What scenario would either side certify this election so we have an we have an election system that's designed and everybody knows it to guarantee that both sides think it was rigged how do you do that accidentally that can't possibly be an accident given that we know how to avoid it where is this coming from it's very confusing well here's a story that I don't have any insight into so I was kind of sitting it out but I'm observing MSNBC has been talking to some citizens about the election and uh they ran a package in which they were talking to some uh black voters about how they felt about Obama saying that black men may be sexist and that's why they're not supporting KL Harris and I saw one of the uh black men who was being interviewed saying that he was deeply offended by that deeply offended and I wondered I wonder how common that is you know it's anecdotal so I don't want to make too much of it but I don't have a sense of what would be insult insting to other people you know you usually know what would insult you but not somebody else would do you think that was deeply offensive I mean it was clearly a slight but do you think people will actually vote differently because they were so so treated I feel like again this is totally anotal but it feels like um Black America is having some kind of Awakening and you see it in a whole bunch of ways at the same time and a lot of it had to do with the migrants coming in and watching the people that they thought were their their biggest supporters bringing in somebody let's say with even at least in the short term bigger problems and diverting resources to them and then probably black voters were saying uh H this wasn't exactly what I was expecting so I think that's going on I think people are realizing that the uh stories about Trump are all lies I think black Americans figured that out they figured out the hoaxes there are a whole bunch of um videos where there'll be a black Creator you know content creator who's doing a video saying I just found out all this Trump stuff is and it's all based on hoaxes there's a whole bunch of them now again are they organic or is somebody's campaign paying for them I don't know but but there's a lot of them so something big is happening with black America I think it's probably in a good direction I saw that uh the amuse account on X had some information that uh you know one C harest did the the Catholic Church uh event but she made a video instead of showing up in person the L Smith event whatever it is and uh it was kind of a little bit Blasphemous because it showed mly Shannon acting like a Catholic school girl seemingly mocking the faith a little bit and uh that was generally considered a huge fail but I didn't realize that the Harris campaign was blaming Mark Cuban for suggesting it do you think that's true do you think Mark cubin suggested this exact idea I'm going to say no here here's what might be true it might be true that he said something like you know uh play it for fun or you know make make sure you have fun with it but do a video or you know maybe something like that I I don't think that he suggested the specific failed skit do do you think do you think that Mark cubin was writing the jokes for the skit and decided had to cast it and that it would you know I don't think so I don't think so he may have suggested doing a video which might have been the suggestion when he found out that she wasn't going to attend in person because a video would be better than just skipping it so he may have been involved but I feel like maybe they're looking for you know dumping off a little blame on him that my best guess is that that's overblown did you know that the British government seems to be trying to defeat Trump um the claim is that members of the British government are coming over to the United States to help campaign for Harris like really you you're sending your your politicians to campaign for Harris I don't know how much of that is true and apparently the labor party over there in the Great Britain um has somebody according to let's say according to Paul ther who's worked with Matt taibe on this story there's some documents showing that the labor party's political front's objective was to quote kill musk's Twitter through quote advertising Focus meaning meaning harassing the advertisers is that true is the government of Great Britain trying to kill Twitter now called X and are they interfering on our election if either of these things are true then they must be punished they must be punished yeah they're our best ally sure but if this is true there has to be a response and it has to be big because this is really really really not okay Great Britain so here's what I think if Great Britain is trying to kill freed freedom of speech in America I would pull out pull out a NATO and I wouldn't defend them period there's there's a bottom line here right if Great Britain is trying to destroy freedom of speech in America I don't want to protect your stupid little island you can all off you can all become Russian I don't care but don't ask me to spend a penny if you're trying to remove our only last remaining source of free speech every one of you guys every one of you and and by the way the the citizens of Great Britain you better do something with your government right it's not my job to change your government but I can certainly suggest that my government stop protect protecting you yeah if you're going to come after us and destroy our system I'm out so I think we should have an actual conversation like literally about whether we're protecting Great Britain anymore whether we could work with them now I know how ridiculous that sounds because you know the connections are so deep and so long but no this is a that's a red line This is a solid red line that they're Crossing now mus says he's going to fight back and you maybe something can be done in the courts but I doubt it this is the line man you cross the line buddies so the next thing that Great Britain asks from the United States the answer is no I don't even care what it is just just know off leave us the alone we not going to forget that well the publication the hill doesn't know what racism is there's an article by Cheyenne Daniels and she was talking about Charlamagne was laughing at Lara Trump when Laura Trump said that uh president Trump uh has never said anything racist and then the writer xen Daniels uh wants the reader to know several examples which prove beyond a shadow of doubt that Trump is racist and he said racist things so here are the things that the hill allowed a writer to write were racist number one uh so she said despite his comments about the Central Park 5 in the 80s the Central Park 5 no race was ever mentioned nor did he specifically mention the Central Park 5 he did a full page ad saying that you know they're criminal animals or you know are praying on the population and maybe you should have the death penalty race wasn't even part of the conversation this is completely made up so you'd have to read his mind and imagine that he secretly was thinking race when he never mentioned it he talked about Behavior the behavior in the city is terrible too many criminals maybe we should kill them Behavior that's the opposite of race if you don't say anything about race and the story didn't have any racial element except that race was you know people were different races I guess but he didn't even mention that that was all made up after the fact that there was some racial part of it then there's the birtherism conspiracy theory what the hell does that have to do with race birtherism he said the same thing about Canadians the most common criticism in politics is that the politician you're running against is not a legal resident of whereever they are so you see it a lot in more local politics like this person has a house here but I don't think they really live here this person spent one month a year in the state but they're running for Senator it's the most common thing people say is it you were born somewhere else or you're you know you you know your your background doesn't make you uh capable to be president based on national origin now I don't think it's true that uh Obama is not a citizen in my opinion he's very much a citizen very much an American but it's not racist to question his birth certificate racism even part of the conversation again who's bringing in the race it wasn't Trump that it would be the same complaint about anybody uh then there's what else is in the list then there's Trump's rhetoric regarding migrants um is there some quote I should see I'm not aware of any racist rhetoric about migrants I am aware that Trump says there are too many criminals coming across are we so dumb that we think he meant every one of them the babies what was he blaming the babies coming across as being criminals no obviously he didn't mean all of them obviously he didn't mean that there are you know more criminals in this racial group but there might be more criminals who are being released from jails I don't know if that's true or not but but that has nothing to do with the race it would be whether or not they were in jail so there's no evidence of that that's just something that happens on the the fake news and the last one is um his recent Embrace of a conspiracy theory about Haitian migrants eating people's pets what is the racial component of that if you replace them all with Americans or not Americans let's say you replace them all with Irish people but if you if you were under the impression that this specific little island and their specific culture allowed them sometimes to eat pets where other people would say that's terrible it would still be about the activity it wouldn't be about the race you could just replace the Haitians with anything and if if they were Irish it would be the same complaint what what is Trump going to be happy if the Irish are eating his pets oh I I I didn't realize the Irish were eating the pets that's okay no it had nothing to do with the race of the people doing it it was the eating the pets part which by the way there's not a strong evidence that there was much of that happening so it amazes me that somebody could write an article in a major publication and not even have a passing understanding of what racism is that's weird um you know the story about uh Trump worked at Mc.

Donald's and he won the new cycle but K Harris said that she had actually worked at Mc.

Donald's and that's part of why Trump did his thing but the source according to the free bacon free free bacon the Free Beacon not the free bacon free bacon is way better than free bacon but the free bacon is a publication uh according to them the Canadian woman who told the New York Times that Harris's dead mother mentioned her Mc.

Donald's job is a campaign surrogate who has been to the White House and shares a sage at rallies and the New York Times never mentioned that the one and only source for K Harris's claim is one of her campaign surrogates who says she heard it from somebody who's dead now do you think she worked at Mc.

Donald's here's what's possible maybe she worked there for a week and got fired or you know being late or something if if you're just starting at Mc.

Donald's you only have to be late a few times and you get fired so it's pretty easy to get fired so I'm not saying she got fired but uh if you believe she worked there based on a campaign surrogate saying she talked to somebody who is dead who once mentioned it well I'm not sure I would believe that meanwhile Tucker Carlson says he's going to join Trump I think twice in Georgia for the campaign rallies now do you think that tuer Carlson could have joined Trump if he was still working for Fox News no so it turns out that that getting cancelled um allows Trump to have the pirate ship that he does because he's got RFK Jr that was basically cancelled by the Democrats um he's got Tulsi Gabbert who just decided that she's going to register as a republican um V wasn't cancelled but you know he certainly understands that world and uh I was cancelled and it certainly makes me more Allin on Trump so it seems that if you if you cancel the wrong people uh they become stronger so didn't see that coming anyway um so did you know that uh the the that there's a an effort by something called the 65 project and they're doing ads and stuff telling people that if they're lawyers and they work for Trump they're going to be in big trouble so that Trump can have no good lawyers in the future when they go after him for a lawfare well the good news is that America First legal um is going to go after the people going after him so America First legal is going to investigate this is according to just the news website news site just the news um so they're going to investigate the group that's threatening lawyers associated with Trump I don't know if investigating gets you anything but we should put a little uh put a little transparency on this find out you know as as dirty as you think politics is and as seems plenty dirty the fact that somebody's trying to make it impossible for somebody to get good legal representation this affects me at like a deeper level because the Constitution is pretty clear and the laws are pretty clear that even if you're guilty you get to have a good lawyer and you get to have a defense I don't think there's anything more basic to what keeps America together than the fact that if you get arrested or I get arrested or somebody we hate or somebody we love gets arrested they're all going to get a defense and here they're trying to take away Trump's defense uh through you know clever just warning people away and threatening them and I don't it's hard to imagine anything that's more deeply evil and unamerican than this you know all the other stuff I talked about propaganda you know lying maybe the elections have some problems etc those are all terrible and you know the P didy thing is you know beyond belief almost but I almost feel worse that there would be any American that is being systematically denied um the best level of uh lawyer support this this is so deeply troubling I mean just I don't know this one bothered me a lot so good for America First legal they continue to be Superstars and they are the answer um for all the lawfare that's been used against the Republicans so there's so we got some fight back happening meanwhile Carrie Lakes office um was on lockdown because somebody mailed them s suspicious package with a substance and a message that suggested it might be Anthrax now I don't have a confirmation that it was anthrax probably not probably not but wow um I don't think it's ever been more dangerous to be a republican how many Democrats got shot at uh or poisoned this year none I mean I hope none but Trump got shot at car Lake got suspicious package uh it's getting dangerous dangerous to be a republican tell you so try to stay out a jail um all right yes the little people do have trouble with lawyers that's true all right ladies and gentlemen that is the end of my prepared remarks I'll remind you that I'm going to be on The Young Turks on Monday 8:00 p.m.

eastern time 5:00 p.m.

California time and uh so I'll have a conversation about what's good or bad about Trump and uh hope you join that and of course if you don't know that the Dilbert calendar is available it's available now you can buy it only at the link at dilbert.com so go to dilbert.com and follow that link it's the only place you'll ever be able to buy that calendar so thanks for joining everybody I'm going to talk to the locals people privately and uh I'll see the rest of you tomorrow same time same place thanks for joining e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

bad but it's just drifting down but the

good news is you're about to have the

show of all

shows probably better than anything

you've ever seen

[Music]

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

coffee with Scott Adams the highlight of

human civilization if you'd like to take

your experience up to levels that nobody

can even understand with their tiny

shiny human brains all you need for that

is a cuper mugar glass a tankered

shellin a canteen sugar 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 makes everything

better today might be coming with a

commercial message don't look at

it delicious that's right 2025 calendar

dber calendar it's available only at the

link on dilbert.com it's not going to be

on any other place you got to go to

dilbert.com and see the link made in

America anyway other uh other news uh

you might know that uh The Young Turks

Jen

yuger had uh asked for somebody to

debate somebody to say that Trump was

the right answer for the country and I

was a little bit slow on responding to

some emails because I

volunteered so I missed I missed my spot

I I overbooked so I couldn't do it on

Thursday which is tomorrow and I think

he has some other some other people who

volunteered to do that but I will be a

guest on The Young Turks on Monday so

I'll still get

to talk about the same topic but it will

be Monday uh I believe The Young Turks

starts at 8:00 pm uh Easter time on

Monday so I'll be a guest and again um I

I just I'm a fan without agreeing with

his opinions of Jen because I just like

his mental flexibility and I like the

fact that he'll talk to anybody and he

doesn't seem to be afraid of anything at

least in the conversation realm so I

just kind of like that so it doesn't

matter if we agree I can I can still

appreciate

that anyway there's a uh study according

to s poost that excessive news

consumption predicts increased political

hostility huh so the more you look at at

the news the more you hate

people you probably know what I'm going

to say but I'm going to say it anyway

you didn't really need to study that you

could have just asked me Scott we were

going to spend a bunch of money on a

study to find out if watching the news

makes you hate people and I would say

yes if you spend five minutes looking at

the news well no we haven't well you

should do that why don't you just spend

5 minutes looking at the news and you

tell me if you don't hate the world more

oh good we'll just save some money we'll

do it your

way again everybody in the me in the

scientific Community just ask me first I

can save you a ton of

money that whole study

unnecessary meanwhile according to

scitech this will sound like the

smallest

story way bigger than you think it is

way bigger apparently you know science

has been trying to create an artificial

nose for a long time and they can kind

of do it but it's real complicated and

has lots of you know lots of components

and stuff but apparently now there's a

way to make a simplified very effective

way to use some kind of an antenna and

send out some kind of a signal and see

what kind of a signal you get back and

that will tell you what smells or gases

in the in the air and it does it really

well

so pretty soon your robots going to be

able to smell

things this is a bigger deal for me

because I don't have a sense of smell

you I lost my sense of smell some time

ago and uh if I had a robot in my house

I would want the robot to be able to

know if there's a gas leak because you

know the gas leak smells like rotten

eggs but I can't smell it uh I I was

once years ago in my first marriage I

was in a condo and step kids were doing

their thing and I was doing my thing and

uh my my axe was out for the day doing

whatever and she comes home and she

walks in the door and she's like my God

you know open the windows the house is

going to blow up you know it's filled

with gas and I said

really couldn't smell a thing but appar

but she could and so we we managed to

not blow up the entire block but there

had been I think the

the pilot or something on the on the

oven was on so yes I need a robot that

can smell some stuff uh they might even

be able to sniff out

disease but think of the other things it

could

do imagine if you had this smelling

antenna in

your location and then some criminals

come in and they do some crimes but

there's no

video would it be possible to to use the

electronic

nose to then get a sample from the perss

should you ever catch them and and see

if they're guilty based on their smell

because you may have recorded their

smell at the location and there would be

it's probably like a

fingerprint so there's a whole bunch you

know if you assume that smell is like

for humans the the underappreciated

sense you know my dog has super smell it

if we had robots with super smell

I feel like a whole bunch of things

would happen that you don't see coming

so I think it's a big

deal and you should trust science and I

uh I encourage you to always believe

science whatever science says it's all

true if science says

it our next story is a n is from nature

the publication turns out that the

journals with the high rates of

suspicious papers flagged oh so there's

this startup that has some kind of

mechanism for

determining uh which of the scientific

papers are bogus it's called Argos Argus

that's the name of the startup or the

system that looks for uh research papers

that look like they're not good let's

see uh how many do they find I mean

there can't be that many right because

we we all trust

science so I mean sure nothing's perfect

but if it's science probably you know

I'd be worried they they might find like

a dozen papers or so that are just made

up I mean imagine how shocking that

would be if they found like you know

maybe 20 science papers that were just

made up that would really rock your

confidence wouldn't it but imagine if it

was like

50 you what what if they found 50

science papers that had been accepted as

peer-reviewed and then turned out to be

just totally false I mean you can't you

know see how many was it um they flagged

more than

40,000 high risk and 180,000 medium risk

papers and they've indexed more than

50,000 retracted

papers okay that's a little worse than I

thought it

was now these are just flag the 40,000

high-risk but the but the tool is saying

that there are 40,000 papers that you

probably shouldn't count

on now let me ask you

this suppose I created this system on

paper and it never existed before it

goes like this if you want to be a

scientist you got to publish papers well

all right so far so good yeah that makes

sense because then you can tell if the

scientists are you know really up on

their field and stuff good yeah

scientists should be able to publish

things that we're going to have a peer

review there'll be other scientists who

will look at it not not to totally make

sure that's fine but to weed out you

know obvious quacks and stuff and I

think to myself yeah that makes sense

that does make sense yeah uh and now

we're going to give an incentive

structure to the scientists

that they will make lots of money if

they publish but they won't make lots of

money if they don't oh okay well yeah I

suppose anything that you want to be

done you want to have a little Financial

incentive for sure so sure sure now how

do you think that's going to turn

out well if you dropped a weasel into

that situation they would say what if I

just make up a bunch of papers make them

look like they're good

send them to my buddy who's the cousin

of my brother-in-law to do the peer

review he probably won't even look at it

or I'll send it to somebody who always

says yes and they'll definitely get peer

reviewed and then I'll get huge bonuses

and I'll be paid to speak at

events what would stop you from doing

that well apparently not much because

you don't hear about people who are

shamed forever because their papers

didn't you know were retracted

so it seems to me that even on paper

what that should have left led to given

the financial incentive eventually all

science will be

fake because the fake science is so easy

and it pay so well that eventually it

will just overwhelm anything that's real

and even if there is some real stuff you

wouldn't be able to find it it' be it'd

be lost in all the the wrong stuff so

even on

paper this guarantees that science would

go off the rails now I don't have a

better idea you know there might be a

better idea out there maybe this Argo

system is part of it but uh even on

paper that was going to lead to Doom

pretty much

guaranteed um according to modernity

which is some kind of publication I

think uh witches are complaining on the

Reddit uh platform I guess a lot of

witches on the Reddit platform um

they're complaining that they can't cast

spells on Trump because quote he has

some kind of protection around him so

the witches are trying to put spells on

him but they're not getting through got

some kind of

protection so sounds like they're on to

me but uh I'll try to keep protecting

Trump from The Witches uh it's taking a

lot of energy but so far so far my

protect to spell is holding let's let's

see if that continues don't tell The

Witches by the way don't don't tell them

what's going on but I've got a little

protective bubble around trump it does

uh it can it can deflect a bullet you

know if a bullet is heading at his head

I can I can move it just off base maybe

hit his ear a little bit but I can't do

everything I mean it's not magic oh it

is Magic yeah it's magic it'll work

fine Wall Street Journal is now suing

Jeff Bezos back perplexity app I keep

talking about this app because this is a

rare

thing um usually when I try an app I

would say one out

of 20 of the apps that I try I end up

continuing to use they're usually

overrated or they're for some specific

purpose or you know they don't work or

something

but I tried this perplexity app it's the

one that is sort of AI plus

search and I can't go

back if if you spend five minutes using

perplexity and by the way I was getting

so annoyed because whenever I brought up

something about Google search the people

in the comments would say try perplexity

you'll if you try it you'll never go

back it's so good why haven't you tried

perplexity and of course my brain was

doing the one in 20 thing yeah there's a

one in 20 chance I might like that app

you're talking about that I've never

heard of and I don't know what it does

but eventually I said to myself there's

so much yapping about this app I got to

try this app when you got a lot of Yap

you got to try the app you that's what I

say so I tried it and

um it is so sticky

wow so let me let me tell you

how I get ready in the morning a common

thing I do I used to try to talk to AI

regular AI like Chad GPT but there's

almost nothing I want to talk to AI

about that doesn't require it to have

access to the internet to look something

up tell me what's new tell me the

weather anything I have no interest in

its General patterns of

words yes you have General patterns of

words you're not a person and you do not

have information that is reliable so

what are

you what's what's even the point of AI

at least for you know casual use I I

don't even know

so but if you use

perplexity uh it doesn't have

conversation mode but you can you know

push a button to talk and you can push

another button to listen to what it says

so I'll do things like I'll have some

thing in my head and I'll be push the

button they'll say is it true that the

the Moon is really made of cheese and

that somebody found that out in the 50s

whatever it is I'm just making that up

and uh it cogitates for a moment and

then I pick push the speaking button and

then it gives me a little a little

customized news

report and it's

great it's just great and uh everything

I ask it shows me the sources doesn't

seem to

it doesn't seem to show me any sponsored

stuff but maybe it does it just doesn't

have anything

labeled um so I'll be I'll be real

interested to see if these big uh media

entities can kill it um and why wouldn't

they be going up to

Google is there something that

perplexity is doing that Google doesn't

do routinely Google shows the the big

Publications shows a link to it right

they both just summarize them and show

link

so I don't know sounds like there might

be something behind these lawsuits

that's more than just protecting

intellectual

property well Nicole Kidman who's 57

years old which is important to this

story she's uh doing a new movie in

which she's an older woman having an

intense love affair with a younger man

and the story is that uh she had to

pause the filming it's called baby girl

that's the name of the movie she had to

pause the filming because she didn't

want to orgasm anymore because she was

getting so aroused by the sex scenes

that she was having so many orgasms that

she just had to take a

break now ladies and

gentlemen I give you the best marketing

campaign for any movie in the history of

movies do you believe that she was

having continuous orgasms

with people in the room not having real

sex and moving the camera angles and

move your elbow and you're on my hair

and can you can you turn a little bit in

this direction I do not I do not no I no

I do not believe that she had any

orgasms while she was filming it I do

believe that as soon as I read she had

so many orgasms filming it I said to

myself well make a mental note I might

want to watch it I might want to watch

sh

so oh my God that's good marketing so

I'm going to give Nicole Kidman my uh

highest grade for

persuasion I don't care if it's true by

the way it's a movie right she's

creating a piece of fiction if she used

the P you know if if she used the piece

of fiction to Market her piece of

fiction I'm okay with that I'm totally

okay with that it's Fiction it's fun

it's entertainment if if part of the

entertainment is some you know BS in the

marketing that's fine it's just part of

the show go

ahead meanwhile Boeing expects to make a

big third quarter loss and they've also

got a big strike coming and I think they

had a they had a satellite blow up and

they don't know why and so boeings have

a lot of problems I did hear somebody

speculate that Boeing's problems may not

be totally organic meaning that um if

you were China and you were trying to

compete with the United States and you

were trying to compete especially in the

the really important areas such as um

not just manufacturing but manufacturing

of high-tech stuff like

Airlines um and China has some new

competitor to the Boeing

products that you would try to get your

competitor to embrace

Dei now I don't have any evidence that

China is behind the Dei practices of

Boeing because if they were they'd have

to be behind the Dei of everything in

America and then I

say but are

they the the thing about

Dei is that it's no more believable as

an organic thing than black lives matter

or antifa were and those were B both

fake as far as I know I mean it's no

more believable than the the Patriot

front so I don't know I I do suspect

that there's at least the possibility so

again this is recreational speculation

this not based on any knowledge that

someday we might find out that one of

our regional adversaries and I'll say

just economic

adversary um may have planted the Dei

flag in America to see what damage it

could do uh because they knew they

wouldn't be they wouldn't have the same

problem in their country so it wouldn't

spread to them it would be the ideal

virus yeah when I call it a virus now

you get it don't you because when the

actual virus came out of China was

really really bad for people but Dei is

basically a mental virus You Know M

virus and it's one that China is immune

to they're immune to

it so they could unleash that virus on

the rest of the world and they would

dominate all manufacturing forever and

essentially dominate the world without

conquering anybody militarily so they

could conquer most of the western world

with a Dei virus does that mean that

they were behind it no it doesn't it

does mean that if you came to me and

said uh Scott you're the you're the head

of

China and I've got this plan to dominate

all manufacturing of high-tech and

everything else so that we'll

effectively run the world because nobody

can operate without our products here's

what we'll do we'll we'll fund anything

that has to do with Dei and of course

the people taking the money will be

happy to take the money and spread it

and that will make people feel really

guilty if they're not accepting this

thing that's so obviously good for

everybody and it'll be like a virus and

it will destroy Manufacturing in the

United States without benefiting anybody

so even the Dei people thought hey it's

going to lift everybody up to equity it

would in fact crash the industry so

everybody's poor but about the same we'd

all be poor and starving and cannibals

so I don't have any reason to believe

that China was behind Dei but again on

paper if somebody had brought that idea

to me and I were in charge of China I

definitely would have implemented that

idea and said you know what I think this

little idea virus will destroy the

United States at least as a manufacturer

superpower well so you never know

there's a

uh there's a video that's coming out of

Seattle uh PJ media has it um and it

apparently shows

um the ballot machine not working so

this is

Oregon uh

and here here's what I want to say about

that that I wouldn't trust any of the

anecdote total election

reports so there are other stories of

machines that are reversing votes I

don't quite believe those because

they're a little bit on the nose they

don't seem to ever get any like major

media

backing uh and I wouldn't be surprised

if it happened once and that maybe

there's some process where it's

immediately corrected or something so I

can't say it I can't say there isn't a

problem

I'm just saying that it would be dicey

to believe any of the individual Reports

most of them will be fake but we don't

know which

ones um I did see a report today I and I

saw the documents I can't be specific

about it but apparently NBC is hopefully

sending out guides to people to tell

them how to vote in their

state and reportedly and I I saw the

screenshot so it's not being made up NBC

has wrong instructions for some New York

State residents it says that to vote by

mail you need a um a witness or a what

do you call it the person who's an

official witness now I think that's not

true but so imagine if you were basing

whether or not you voted on whether you

had a a

witness that's kind of a big mistake

yeah for so I'm taking a few assumptions

my first assumption is that the New

Yorkers do not need a witness to vote by

mail and the second assumption is that

the screenshot I said that I saw that

seemed to come from NBC saying that you

do need it that that would be

incorrect notary sorry yeah the word I

was trying to think is notary so the the

notice was that you need a notary or a

witness and apparently that's just not

true now that's a pretty big problem if

it caused anybody to not vote because

they didn't think they could get a

witness I don't know who came get a

witness but there's always

somebody um so I don't know what to

believe let's see according to uh Byron

York little post on X Gallup did a has

been been studying trust and media for

over the years and apparently the

Democratic Trust in Media and their

confidence in the media spiked in two

years in the recent past do you know

what years the Democrats had the big

spike in believing that the news is

real 2016 and

2017 in the middle of the Russia

collusion hoax the the biggest lies the

media's ever told to you that's when

Democrats trust in the media was

Skyhigh compared to historically and

Republican trust went into the

toilet

now doesn't that settle who the Smart

Ones are

that kind of settles it doesn't it

because these two were not close the

Republicans were completely right and

remain completely right about the fake

news Democrats were completely wrong

they actually trusted the news more

probably because it was on their side

and they wanted to trust it but oh my

God it's like we found the problem

and I I often say you can't really have

a conversation about anything important

with anybody who thinks the news is

real I mean if you believe the

Washington Post is like real news on

politics you would be so lost so

lost well here's your propaganda update

uh remember I tell you that if you know

what happened you don't know anything

but if you know who is involved well you

might know everything

so Bob Woodward who many people were

smarter than me say has always been part

of the intelligence apparatus of the

United States including his uh his his

actions in the uh Watergate stuff but if

that's true does it make sense that he

just went on CNN and said that Joe Biden

might get the Nobel Peace Prize for his

good work in Ukraine for preventing

Americans

to getting into a ground

war does that sound like

something that somebody just thought was

their own opinion and it would be good

to say on

TV or does that sound

like

propaganda and he would think of

himself I can't read his mind so I don't

know what he's thinking but does it look

like that was a real

opinion because he's not stupid

you you don't get to be Bob Woodward if

you're literally just stupid he's not

stupid so why would you say this which

is obviously

ridiculous the only reason you would do

it is propaganda I mean it doesn't have

any news value whatsoever there's no

news it's literally just weird

propaganda let's see is there any other

propaganda

happening so there's publication called

the Atlantic which is owned by Steve

Jobs Widow and

here's here's the

thing we need to make a distinction

between news which is biased and pure

propaganda CNN is

biased but they do show quite regularly

and I give them credit especially

recently they they have Scott Jennings

on almost every night

giving the Republican view of all the

stories and they've got two or three

other people who look like they're

pretty capable uh I forget their names

but they they they're also Republican

voices so whenever there's a panel of

five people they throw in the one

Republican and I don't

mind bias when it's

transparent if you show me five uh left

leing people and one right leing person

at the table I know what you're doing

you're not making it even I get it but

it's also completely transparent you

know when Fox newss does it if they have

you know the the one Democrat at the on

the five and four of them are the the

opposite opinion I'm fine with that

because nobody's hiding anything hey

we're we're leaning in this direction

but we'll let you see the other side now

that is completely different than

something like the

Atlantic the Atlantic is a just a pure

propaganda entity but because they're

both

Publications in some way you know media

entities we we act like they're all

legitimate the Atlantic is not

legitimate and we keep we keep acting

like we should talk about it like it's

one of the media sources it's not really

it's not even close to being anything

like news or just like it's not even

biased news it's just pure propaganda at

least on the political stuff so Jeffrey

Goldberg who these smart people say is

one of the most famous political Liars

in America like he he has a he has a a

history of known gigantic lies where

surely he knew he was lying when he did

it now that's the accusation against him

and uh there a number of specific

examples that the smart people like

Glenn Greenwald who watch this stuff

will give you so if you want to know the

examples follow

Greenwald but his latest hoax is that

General John Kelly says that Trump said

that Hitler did some good things and he

wishes he had some generals like Hitler

or something like that now it doesn't

matter because you know it's made up how

do you know it's made up because it's in

the

Atlantic you don't have to wonder if

it's made up it's in the

Atlantic that's all you need to know it

is John Kelly General Kelly is he a uh

reliable and credible Source no not even

a little bit you would be the opposite

of that based on past experience so no

there's no evidence that any of that

happened it's in the least um the least

credible

outlet and the story is by the least

credible person and the least credible

Outlet so but of course it's news

because propaganda is news to anyway um

we really should have a list of the

things which are not really even trying

you know the Washington

Post sometimes a little bit will show a

little bit of the other side but I think

when it comes to the political stuff you

could call them pure

propaganda they don't seem like they're

trying too hard to show both

sides anyway the latest is that kis will

not be on Joe Rogan but Trump will be I

think on Friday and uh she will not be

on the all-in pod which Trump has

already

done and those are not the wrong

decisions if I were in charge of the

Harris campaign I would tell her not to

do those because she has the option of

only doing

friendlies if you have the option of

only doing

friendlies and not having anything

that's unexpected well why would you why

would you you know she Harris was at

this uh I guess they called it like a

town hall with uh Maria

shriber and uh somebody in the audience

asked if they can ask questions and and

Sher told her no the questions are

predetermined so what's the audience for

so they've got an audience of question

askers but the questions are already

written so the audience was there as

props to pretend that the questions have

some you know some

organic organic uh history to them but

Maria was uh at least totally honest in

public and said nope uh you do not get

to ask questions these are pretty

determined so you've got one person

running who is in my opinion the most

capable

Persuader maybe one of the most capable

presidents we've ever

had when people complain about Trump

it's weirdly that he'll be too

capable now they add to the too capable

that he has bad intentions which are not

evident as far as I could tell but if he

add together very

capable with in their view the

propaganda view that he has bad

intentions that could be scary but it's

funny that they've completely stopped

with the you know he's incapable stuff

it's just obvious that he has

capabilities and he has strong strong

capabilities he was President he showed

it we see what Biden's done doesn't look

so good compared to what Trump did so

it's now really clear that Trump was a

highly capable operative maybe you don't

like his policies like if he didn't like

what happened with abortion for example

but nobody says he didn't get it

done nobody says he didn't uh put on the

court people who would get done things

his party wanted so if you just look at

stuff he did even if you don't like it

you still have to say you got it done

now you could argue well he said he'd

build the the wall but he didn't get it

done well that was entirely because

Democrats pulled out all stops to stop

him from doing the thing that even they

want to do now so I mean is that really

if they if they put out if they pull out

all the

stops to prevent you from doing

something that everybody wants

it's not exactly his problem I mean

that's something else going on but

Harris on the other hand is the least

capable candidate for president I think

we've ever seen in American history I

would love to know if historians could

even come up with a second one because

we've got somebody who can't even go to

an interview unless it's a friendly that

they know the

questions that's the lowest level of

capability that's the level that you

could pick anybody at random and they

could

succeed all right we're going to pick

you at random can you read from this

teleprompter um yes yes I can okay good

you can do a rally can you memorize an

answer to a question if we give you a

week to memorize

it yeah yeah I could do that I could do

that well now you can be president of

the United

States it's literally all she can do she

can just take prepared memorized

questions and she can do reading off a

teleprompter and she can do Angry

yelling like Hill Hillary Clinton

did and she can tell a bunch of lies

about the other side nobody she's never

been this is the most incapable

candidate I've ever seen now there may

have been worse ones for congress I'm

sure there have been but we've never

seen anybody this bad in terms of just

minimum

capability yeah I I usually am am

picking you know when I'm looking at

president candidates I usually think I'm

picking something like um their policy

preferences because usually I think well

you know Bush versus

Gore very highly qualified capable

people it really was about the policies

right

um if you looked at you know Clinton

versus

Dole very qualified people highly

qualified so it's about the

policies but this the Comm haris thing

is not about the policy at all it's

about I don't even know if we could

survive having this level of leadership

or lack of it I mean that is bad

stuff all right let me tell you the most

dangerous story of the day you

ready this is under the category of

recreational belief I'm going to tell

you a

tale um but I'm not going to tell you I

believe it I don't disbelieve

it I don't disbelieve it but I

definitely don't believe

it and I'd be looking for your help to

tell me if there's some reason I

shouldn't believe it or some reason I

should

all right so this is based on a post by

uh Patrick burn uh you know him he was

the CEO of

overstock.com but um his resume is very

impressive um I've taken a look at it

and you can tell that he's a really

smart guy and he's been really connected

in a lot of things you know for real so

his his ability to see behind the

curtain would be better than most but

here's what we have to decide

is what I'm going to tell you another

Kraken or is it the

truth because the Kraken is when you

think oh no now I know everything and

then you go out and you talk about it

and then you become Sydney Powell and

then you lose everything and you get

sued and you know now in the end Sydney

Powell I

believe um was shown to be

faultless am I correct

now she was going to lose her license or

something but but I don't think any of

the claims she made about the

election ever became a legal problem

that was confirmed by a court in other

words I don't know that her accusations

were debunked maybe you do I don't know

so I just don't know

but here's roughly what Patrick burn

will tell you look in you can look on

his account and you'll find it today

it's it's brand new just happened hours

ago and it's um a

six-part but small parts you know like

six six minute things something like

that uh in which he describes the little

bit of the history of

Venezuela and how that affects our

elections I know I know I hear your

thoughts I hear them I I get it it's the

Kraken isn't it

it's definitely fake isn't it well I

don't know I have no way to know so I'll

just tell you roughly what he says and

if this doesn't make you interested

enough to listen to the whole

thing then you're dead

inside because the story he tells is so

freaking interesting that recreationally

you're going to love it even if it

turned out you know not to pass the fact

check and I don't know I really don't

know so for for legal purposes allow me

to say the

following every company person or

country that I mention in this

context is just because of something I

heard not because I think it's

true my opinion on whether it's true is

suspended I don't know I really don't

know and usually usually I have a strong

inkling but I don't have inkling on this

one it's really weird so here's the

story

Venezuela is not a regular

government and there for years it's been

a a gay

cartel and that the gay cartel is not

something that's separate from the

government it is actually the government

and that the generals in Venezuela are

the head of the cartel and it's the

richest most powerful for cartel in the

world the president would again also be

head of the cartel

so but here's the fun

part according to Patrick burn the

Venezuelan head of the cartels are

basically a p didy model of male

rape right so the way Venezuela is being

held together is that the people in

charge who are generals or you know

presidents and stuff are literally just

raping the other men to keep them in

line and that it's it's so common that

it's not even like there are a few bad

eggs it's more like the main operating

system of Venezuela is men other

men to keep them under

control is that

true well I would have said that didy

thing wasn't

possible you know prior to the Epstein

stuff I would have said that's not

something that happens in the real

world but I guess it does happen in the

real world I just don't know if it

happens in

Venezuela now the the gay part is

probably more bisexual than gay meaning

that most of them are married probably

have regular marital relations but

apparently there's a lot of male

raping that's the claim now that doesn't

have a lot to do with the bigger story

and again this is Patrick Burns claims

these are not my claims I have no idea

what is true and what's not but the

story goes like this sometime in the

past when the

Venezuelan um cartel wanted to make sure

that they had a good control over

Venezuela it uh sent three Engineers to

start a

company uh software company for election

machines and although they started it in

in the United States so it would look

like a US company registered in Delaware

uh there would actually be sort of under

the control of some Venezuelan

characters and then that software

allegedly um in different forms ended up

in all voting machines so even companies

that have different names and I'm not

even going to name the names because you

know all the names of the companies that

there that the Venezuelan

fake software meaning software that was

designed to rig elections and that was

the only purpose for the company was to

design rig machines and that that rigal

software although it has been Rewritten

in other languages is on all the

machines so that so that there isn't any

voting machine anywhere that doesn't

have Venezuelan software on it now do I

think that's true I don't know well I

don't know it's a of a story it gets

better there's also a claim that the

hardware for most or all these machines

uh which looks like it's coming from

Taiwan is actually from mainland China

and they just launder it through Taiwan

so you think it came from

Taiwan so the claim is that our

elections are determined by Chinese

hardware and Venezuelan cartels

and that every every country that uses

any kind of voting machine is controlled

by Venezuela in other words Venezuela

gets to decide who is the president in

every country that uses voting

machines and that somehow Castro was

part of that as well

now that's a pretty big claim isn't it

so I I can't really wrap my head around

that as all being

true um will say that if you look at the

materials you know you look at the the

video that Patrick burn did by the way I

think he has a book I believe he's got a

book out so maybe this is you know some

of this is related to that

but it all hangs

together so that doesn't make it true

but it would explain so many things and

one of the things I always think about

is that in my world you know I I see the

world through a dilber filter

that whenever I hear something like oh

our CIA is super competent and you know

they got control of everything I always

say to myself do they do they is is the

CIA the one highly capable organization

in the world and everything I've ever

been involved in was a mess but but not

the CIA no everybody's good except you

know everybody's bad except the CIA

they're just they're just nailing it

every year maybe

but the other possibility is that

they're

terrible what if they're

terrible they might be if they're

terrible then it would be entirely

possible that some criminal entity is

running all of our elections and several

of the elections around the world but

the the American version of this is that

the CIA is the one overthrowing all the

countries and you maybe the CIA is

behind the the voting machines now one

possibility

is that that's exactly why the story

exists so that you don't suspect that

the CIA is behind

everything

maybe

so what we what we can't determine and

if any of you have any insight into it

it' be great is is this um the great

reveal or is it just another diversion

so that you don't expect the the real

bad

guys what do you think you you're going

to have to hear the whole video to to

have an informed opinion because I'm

just giving you the highlights but I

feel like it would be reasonably

impossible to confirm the following

facts or to debunk

them number one do we know that the

hardware is made in China and just

labeled as Taiwan there's probably some

source for that I don't know what the

source is

uh is it true if you took every every

voting machine everywhere and looked at

the software even though the language

might be different that it's basically

the same line forline code and that it

came from a Venezuelan

Source those seem like things that you

could possibly find out are true or

false and I haven't so I don't know but

I'll tell you it's it's such a a mind

eer that you know when when the Epstein

thing comes out you have to like change

everything you think about everything

and the Russia collusion story comes out

and you have you have to change

everything about how you see the world

and the the 51 Intel people who said the

uh the Biden laptop thing was fake and

you've got to change everything you're

thinking about the world and then the

Diddy thing comes out and you have to

change everything you think about music

and then this come out right in the

middle of all that and now I have to

change everything I think about

everything if it's

true but if it were a diversion or or a

way to discredit people like me because

if you if I talk about it then I get

discredited later so I've already said

enough that the Atlantic could write a

hit piece about me say that I'm pushing

a story about Venezuelan cartels running

the elections do you see how this works

now this is not something that CNN or

Fox News would do because again they're

biased but they don't operate as a

purely propaganda entities they you know

they're they're transparent but the

Atlantic or the Washington Post are kind

of a different animal I've already given

them enough that they could write a

story that would seem like I believe it

and I'm pushing it and maybe I'm part of

a Russian propaganda or Venezuelan

G right don't you think you could take

what I've already said and then if

nobody was going to check what I said

originally because people don't you

could just write an article and people

would believe it oh he's pushing this

thing so my my interesting situation is

this I'm drawn to risk so sort of a flaw

of mine when something's dangerous I

tend to go toward

it and it was very dangerous for me to

even tell you that Patrick burn has a uh

a story to tell and the basic idea of

what it was very dangerous it could be

the end of it could be the last time you

see me basically it could be that

dangerous but I tell you for sure that I

genuinely don't know if it's true I

genuinely I don't even have a I don't

even I'm not even leaning in One

Direction and that's rare so the fact

that I'm not even lean meaning in One

Direction is also telling me

something but I'm not entirely sure what

it's telling

me now I haven't seen anybody debunk

him that doesn't mean it doesn't exist I

do have some feelers out to see if I can

get a better handle on it if I find out

something I'll let you know but I don't

suspect that if if you look at all the

claims about our election systems you

know these included it's certainly hard

toag that we're going to have a good

result

and um here's uh What uh let's

see speaker Johnson said he said uh he

doesn't expect that we'll have a a

result in the election so Mike Johnson

the speaker said he expects Democrats to

refuse to certify election results of

trump

wins now would that be unusual turns out

no that would be normally what they

so according to

Johnson the post Millennium has the

story quote Democrats have now made it a

tradition to object to electors certain

States uh of electors and they have done

so every single time a Republican

president as one in the last quarter

Century now I didn't know that that uh

the Democrats have have called fowl on

every single time a a republican won and

of course it would work the other way as

well right if if the polls say that

Trump's going to win but Harris wins in

the last minute and you know votes come

in at the middle of the night um so

under What scenario would either side

certify this

election so we have an we have an

election system that's designed and

everybody knows it to

guarantee that both sides think it was

rigged how do you do that accidentally

that can't possibly be an accident given

that we know how to avoid

it where is this coming from it's very

confusing well here's a story that I

don't have any insight into so I was

kind of sitting it out but I'm observing

MSNBC has been talking to some citizens

about the election and uh they ran a

package in which they were talking to

some uh black voters about how they felt

about Obama saying that black men may be

sexist and that's why they're not

supporting KL Harris and I saw one of

the uh black men who was being

interviewed saying that he was deeply

offended by

that deeply

offended

and I wondered I wonder how common that

is you know it's anecdotal so I don't

want to make too much of it but I don't

have a sense of what would be insult

insting to other people you know you

usually know what would insult you but

not somebody else would do you think

that was deeply

offensive I mean it

was clearly a

slight but do you think people will

actually vote differently because they

were so so

treated I feel like again this is

totally anotal but it feels like um

Black

America is having some kind of Awakening

and you see it in a whole bunch of ways

at the same time and a lot of it had to

do with the migrants coming in and

watching the people that they thought

were their their biggest supporters

bringing in somebody let's say with even

at least in the short term bigger

problems and diverting resources to them

and then

probably black voters were saying uh H

this wasn't exactly what I was expecting

so I think that's going on I think

people are realizing that the uh stories

about Trump are all lies I think black

Americans figured that out they figured

out the hoaxes there are a whole bunch

of um videos where there'll be a black

Creator you know content creator who's

doing a video saying I just found out

all this Trump stuff is and

it's all based on hoaxes there's a whole

bunch of them now again are they organic

or is somebody's campaign paying for

them I don't know but but there's a lot

of them so something big is happening

with black

America I think it's probably in a good

direction I saw that uh the amuse

account on X had some information that

uh you know one C harest did the the

Catholic Church uh event but she made a

video instead of showing up in person

the L Smith event whatever it is and uh

it was kind of a little bit Blasphemous

because it showed mly Shannon acting

like a Catholic school girl seemingly

mocking the faith a little bit and uh

that was generally considered a huge

fail but I didn't realize that the

Harris campaign was blaming Mark Cuban

for suggesting

it do you think that's true do you think

Mark cubin suggested this exact

idea I'm going to say

no here here's what might be true it

might be true that he said something

like you know uh play it for fun or you

know make make sure you have fun with it

but do a video or you know maybe

something like

that I I don't think that he suggested

the specific failed

skit do do you think do you think that

Mark cubin was writing the jokes for the

skit and decided had to cast it and that

it would you know I don't think so I

don't think so he may have suggested

doing a

video which might have been the

suggestion when he found out that she

wasn't going to attend in person because

a video would be better than just

skipping it so he may have been involved

but I feel like maybe they're looking

for you know dumping off a little blame

on him that my best guess is that that's

overblown did you know that the British

government seems to be trying to defeat

Trump

um the claim is that members of the

British government are coming over to

the United States to help campaign for

Harris like really you you're sending

your your politicians to campaign for

Harris I don't know how much of that is

true and apparently the labor party over

there in the Great Britain um has

somebody according to let's say

according to Paul ther who's worked with

Matt taibe on this story

there's some documents showing that the

labor party's political front's

objective was to quote kill musk's

Twitter through quote advertising Focus

meaning meaning harassing the

advertisers is that true is the

government of Great Britain trying to

kill

Twitter now called

X and are they interfering on our

election if either of these things are

true

then they must be

punished they must be punished yeah

they're our best ally sure but if this

is

true there has to be a response and it

has to be big because this

is really really really not okay Great

Britain so here's what I think if Great

Britain is trying to kill freed freedom

of speech in America I would pull out

pull out a NATO and I wouldn't defend

them

period there's there's a bottom line

here right if Great Britain is trying to

destroy freedom of speech in America I

don't want to protect your stupid

little island you can all

off you can all become Russian I don't

care but don't ask me to spend a

penny if you're trying to remove our

only last remaining source of free

speech every one of you

guys every one of you and and by the way

the the citizens of Great

Britain you better do something with

your government right it's not my job to

change your government but I can

certainly suggest that my government

stop protect protecting

you yeah if you're going to come after

us and destroy our

system I'm out so I think we should have

an actual conversation like literally

about whether we're protecting Great

Britain anymore whether we could work

with

them now I know how ridiculous that

sounds because you know the connections

are so deep and so long but no this is a

that's a red

line This is a solid red line that

they're Crossing now mus says he's going

to fight back and you maybe something

can be done in the courts but I doubt it

this is the line

man you cross the line

buddies so the next thing that Great

Britain asks from the United States the

answer is no I don't even care what it

is just just know off leave us the

alone we not going to forget

that well the publication the hill

doesn't know what racism is there's an

article by Cheyenne

Daniels and she was talking about

Charlamagne was laughing at Lara Trump

when Laura Trump said that uh president

Trump uh has never said anything racist

and then the writer xen Daniels uh wants

the reader to know several examples

which prove beyond a shadow of doubt

that Trump is racist and he said racist

things so here are the things that the

hill allowed a writer to write were

racist number one uh so she said despite

his comments about the Central Park 5 in

the 80s the Central Park 5 no race was

ever mentioned nor did he specifically

mention the Central Park 5 he did a full

page ad saying that you know they're

criminal animals or you know are praying

on the population and maybe you should

have the death

penalty race wasn't even part of the

conversation this is completely made

up so you'd have to read his mind and

imagine that he secretly was thinking

race when he never mentioned it he

talked about

Behavior the behavior in the city is

terrible too many criminals maybe we

should kill them Behavior that's the

opposite of race if you don't say

anything about race and the story didn't

have any racial element except that race

was you know people were different races

I guess but he didn't even mention that

that was all made up after the fact that

there was some racial part of it then

there's the birtherism conspiracy

theory what the hell does that have to

do with race birtherism he said the same

thing about

Canadians the most common criticism in

politics is that the politician you're

running against is not a legal resident

of whereever they are so you see it a

lot in more local politics like this

person has a house here but I don't

think they really live here this person

spent one month a year in the state but

they're running for Senator it's the

most common thing people say is it you

were born somewhere else or you're you

know you you know your your background

doesn't make you uh capable to be

president based on national origin now I

don't think it's

true that uh Obama is not a

citizen in my opinion he's very much a

citizen very much an American but it's

not racist to question his birth

certificate racism even part of the

conversation again who's bringing in the

race it wasn't Trump that it would be

the same complaint about

anybody uh then there's what else is in

the

list then there's Trump's rhetoric

regarding

migrants

um is there some quote I should see I'm

not aware of any

racist rhetoric about migrants I am

aware that Trump says there are too many

criminals coming across are we so dumb

that we think he meant every one of them

the babies what was he blaming the

babies coming across as being criminals

no obviously he didn't mean all of them

obviously he didn't mean that there are

you know more criminals in this racial

group but there might be more criminals

who are being released from jails I

don't know if that's true or not but but

that has nothing to do with the race it

would be whether or not they were in

jail so there's no evidence of that

that's just something that happens on

the the fake news and the last one

is um his recent Embrace of a conspiracy

theory about Haitian migrants eating

people's

pets what is the racial component of

that if you replace them all with

Americans or not Americans let's say you

replace them all with Irish people

but if you if you were under the

impression that this specific little

island and their specific culture

allowed them sometimes to eat pets where

other people would say that's

terrible it would still be about the

activity it wouldn't be about the race

you could just replace the Haitians with

anything and if if they were Irish it

would be the same complaint what what is

Trump going to be happy if the Irish are

eating his pets oh I I I didn't realize

the Irish were eating the pets

that's okay no it had nothing to do with

the race of the people doing it it was

the eating the pets part which by the

way there's not a strong evidence that

there was much of that

happening so it amazes me that somebody

could write an article in a major

publication and not

even have a passing understanding of

what racism is that's

weird um you know the story about uh

Trump worked at McDonald's and he won

the new cycle but K Harris said that she

had actually worked at McDonald's and

that's part of why Trump did his thing

but the source according to the free

bacon free free bacon the Free Beacon

not the free bacon free bacon is way

better than free bacon but the free

bacon is a

publication uh according to them the

Canadian woman who told the New York

Times that Harris's dead mother

mentioned her McDonald's job is a

campaign surrogate who has been to the

White House and shares a sage at rallies

and the New York Times never mentioned

that the one and only

source for K Harris's claim is one of

her campaign

surrogates who says she heard it from

somebody who's dead

now do you think she worked at

McDonald's here's what's possible

maybe she worked there for a week and

got

fired or you know being late or

something if if you're just starting at

McDonald's you only have to be late a

few times and you get fired so it's

pretty easy to get

fired so I'm not saying she got fired

but uh if you believe she worked there

based on a campaign surrogate saying she

talked to somebody who is dead who once

mentioned it

well I'm not sure I would believe that

meanwhile Tucker Carlson says he's going

to join Trump I think twice in Georgia

for the campaign rallies now do you

think that tuer Carlson could have

joined Trump if he was still working for

Fox News no so it turns out that that

getting

cancelled um allows Trump to have the

pirate ship that he does because he's

got RFK Jr that was basically cancelled

by the Democrats

um he's got Tulsi Gabbert who just

decided that she's going to register as

a

republican um V wasn't cancelled but you

know he certainly understands that world

and uh I was cancelled and it certainly

makes me more Allin on

Trump so it seems that if you if you

cancel the wrong

people uh they become

stronger so didn't see that coming

anyway

um so did you know that uh the the that

there's a an effort by something called

the 65 project and they're doing ads and

stuff telling people that if they're

lawyers and they work for Trump they're

going to be in big trouble so that Trump

can have no good lawyers in the future

when they go after him for a lawfare

well the good news is that America First

legal

um is going to go after the people going

after him so America First legal is

going to investigate this is according

to just the news website news site just

the news um so they're going to

investigate the group that's threatening

lawyers associated with Trump I don't

know if investigating gets you anything

but we should put a little uh put a

little transparency on this find out you

know as as dirty as you think politics

is and as seems plenty dirty the fact

that somebody's trying to make it

impossible for somebody to get good

legal

representation this affects me at like a

deeper level because the Constitution is

pretty clear and the laws are pretty

clear that even if you're guilty you get

to have a good lawyer and you get to

have a defense I don't think there's

anything more basic to what keeps

America together than the fact that if

you get arrested or I get arrested or

somebody we hate or somebody we love

gets arrested they're all going to get a

defense and here they're trying to take

away Trump's

defense uh through you know clever just

warning people away and threatening them

and I don't it's hard to imagine

anything that's more deeply evil and

unamerican than this you know all the

other stuff I talked about

propaganda you know lying maybe the

elections have some problems etc those

are all terrible and you know the P didy

thing is you know beyond belief almost

but I almost feel

worse that there would be any

American that is being systematically

denied um the best level of uh lawyer

support this this is so deeply troubling

I mean just I don't know this one

bothered me a lot so good for America

First legal they continue to be

Superstars and they are the answer um

for all the lawfare that's been used

against the Republicans so there's so we

got some fight back

happening meanwhile Carrie Lakes

office um was on lockdown because

somebody mailed them s suspicious

package with a substance and a message

that suggested it might be Anthrax now I

don't have a confirmation that it was

anthrax probably not probably not but

wow um I don't think it's ever been more

dangerous to be a

republican how many Democrats got shot

at uh or poisoned this year none I mean

I hope none but Trump got shot at car

Lake got suspicious

package uh it's getting dangerous

dangerous to be a republican tell you so

try to stay out a

jail

um all right yes the little people do

have trouble with lawyers that's true

all right ladies and gentlemen that is

the end of my prepared remarks I'll

remind you that I'm going to be on The

Young Turks on Monday 8:00 p.m. eastern

time 5:00 p.m. California time and uh so

good or bad about Trump
