But we've got a show for you. While the lazy podcasters are taking the day off, not me. No, I'm here for you.
Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's going to be the best time you've ever had in your whole life. But if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a coffee mug, a glass, a tankard, a stein, a can, a jug, or a flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.
The simultaneous sip is excellent today.
But what else is happening? Well, one of the things you've probably been asking yourself is, sure they can make robots and they can make robot dogs, but can they make a robot dog that walks underwater? Yes. Yes they can. It's called the Honey Badger. And according to the site, these engineers have a quadruped robot dog that's about a foot long, and it can walk onto your pool and it can hide in the water. Now I can't think of anything scarier than seeing a robot dog come out of the water. If I'm ever by a stream and a robot dog ever comes out of that stream and starts coming at me, I'm going to run very, very fast. But then the other robot dogs will catch up with me and overtake me and put me in a cocoon and harvest me for energy, I assume. I mean, I don't want to read too much into it, but I do think robot dog walks underwater, harvests me for energy, giant cocoon. I think it follows.
And now, according to Science Blog, scientists can create cancer patients as digital twins to predict how well something will go. That's right. They can create your digital twin, and then they can put that digital twin in some digital medical study, and then they can see how you do as a digital twin before they do it to your real body. Which raises some interesting questions, doesn't it? Such as how many digital twins will you have for every base reality? Might you have a digital twin for each kind of problem you might have? For example, might I create a digital twin that figures out how to solve all the water-related damage in my house every single day? It could be that you're already a digital twin and that you've been created just so the real person who is you can see how your solutions work. And so having a digital cancer twin makes perfect sense.
And by the way, there are a number of efforts in the world where people are trying to figure out whether medicines are working the way they're supposed to work for your cancer patients and other people as well. So digital twin. Now when they talk about it, they don't mean it's like a simulation. Digital twin, but it will be your digital twin should not only have the same DNA that you have and the same comorbidities, but it should live the same lifestyle. So if you eat a carrot, your digital twin should eat a carrot, because it's all part of the... did you do enough? Did you exercise?
Apparently people who take Ozempic, the weight loss drug, they have far lower Alzheimer's risk. So far I'm surprised they know that because that drug hasn't been around that long. But they say a 40 to 70 percent reduction for people who have type 2 diabetes, which apparently suggests that you have a higher risk of Alzheimer's too. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think that obesity is bad for your health. Is anybody picking that up? How's your pattern recognition? So whenever people are overweight, it seems that there's a wide variety of problems they have, and some of them include the brain. Oh, how many times do I tell you that your body is your brain? That's right. If your body is doing type 2 diabetes things instead of what it should be doing, your brain's going to be degraded.
So one of the smartest things I did in my, I'd say, later years is I decided that my body and my brain were the same thing, and that if I exercised and ate right all of my life, I could get to my old age and my brain would still be working. Here I am. I'm old and my brain is still working. So so far, so good. I don't know what'll happen tomorrow, but today, brain working.
Did you remember that Vivek Ramaswamy is the second biggest shareholder now in the septic tank piece of crap called BuzzFeed? That's an online publication. Now I did see a report that he visited them and he's maybe trying to convince them to have some conservative writers. I don't know if that's going to happen, but he's the second biggest shareholder, so he's an activist. I would think there's a good chance he'll get what he wants. That was reported by George on the X platform, and I would love to know what Vivek has as a plan.
But I would like to point out that it does seem that traditional media is dead, as a number of smart people are saying. The fact that the Joe Rogan broadcast with Trump, I think he did three hours and he's got, last I checked, 17 million views. Kamala Harris went on the second biggest podcast in the world and got under 700,000. So 17 million in just a few days and more coming versus 700,000, which isn't bad either. But a lot of people are saying that the traditional media, the CNNs and the MSNBCs and the ABC News and CBS, that they're basically done. And there's even thinking that they should give up their airwaves, you know, their radio spectrum. So there's something that the traditional media should give up, its spectrum. And you know what the reason is? The reason is that they don't serve the public anymore. It's actually a good reason.
The reason that the TV networks have, I think, free, you know, they all get allocated their own little spectrum that is rare, and I believe the reasoning is that the public gets a benefit from having the networks have this access, especially the news. But now that the news from the networks is really just nothing but propaganda, and we recognize it as such, and the only place you can get anything useful is from independent journalists, why exactly do these big entities have free assets from the country? The bandwidth and the spectrum. If they're actually bad for the country. So you know, I'm not sure they were ever good for the country, but at the moment it's super, super obvious that the mainstream news is fake news. It's propaganda. It's bad for the country. So why do they get free assets to be bad for the country? Because I think that's not even controversial at this point. Even people are mad at their own preferred sources. You know, people are mad at the Washington Post. They're mad at the LA Times. They're mad at CNN. And they're mad at their own side. So it's not like we're arguing that the mainstream media is good for one side and bad for the other. It's both sides say, hey, what happened to you guys? You're worthless now.
So we'll see what Vivek has in plan for BuzzFeed. If I were a younger man, I would say Vivek, BuzzFeed needs a columnist like me. But I'm not.
Anyway, do you think mainstream media is dead? I think it's premature. I think people are actually a little bit more wishful thinking. I think it's that. But the reason that the traditional media exists is not to make money. So you can't predict their fate based on economics, because clearly their propaganda is obviously the purpose of them. And I don't see any reason that they'll go away if money isn't the reason they exist in the first place and propaganda is the reason they exist. They're not going to go away because they're losing money and their propaganda. So I'm going to go counter to all the smart people who are saying, my goodness, Joe Rogan has made all the traditional mainstream media garbage. Eventually, yes. But next year? No. Next year will be exactly like this year. Yeah, I mean, you know, maybe 1 percent difference.
Why is the Joe Rogan thing better? Well, lots of reasons. Number one reason is that there's a long time period. So people are really, you know, they've got all the time in the world to answer questions. A podcaster such as Joe Rogan has all the time in the world to follow up on a question. There's nobody sitting there talking over him. Now let me compare that to three episodes of CNN. So there were three separate clips just this morning about CNN, and they all had the same quality to them. A conservative tried to say something that was both true and obvious and well known and on point, and the liberals who were there with them talked over them so they couldn't talk. Now that didn't happen on Joe Rogan, did it? Was anybody talking over anybody? Didn't need to. Three hours.
But on, I was watching Scott Jennings on CNN, and somebody mentioned the drinking bleach hoax like it was real. And Scott Jennings says, well, you know, that's a hoax. And suddenly five different people started talking over him so that the audience couldn't hear him say that it was a hoax. And I thought that is fascinating. That's something you don't see on a podcast. You'll never see a podcast where somebody is completely talked over to the point where the topic changes. And then I watched another segment where again the conservative got talked over until the time changed. And then I watched Jake Tapper interviewing JD Vance, and Tapper was using the "really?" play. I've taught you the "really?" play. It's where you don't have to give an argument. Sometimes you just say the thing that somebody believes and you look at them and you go, really? Really? That's what you believe? And it can be really good as a persuasion thing if the person would have trouble explaining why that's really what they believe. However, it didn't work with JD Vance because the question was, why are all these ex-staffers of Trump now turning against him? And Jake was trying to make the point, you know, really? Are you saying that all of these people, all of these people that turned against Trump, really they're all bad? You're saying there's something wrong with all of these people? Really? And JD Vance looks at him. He goes, yes. And then he explains they're all neocons and yes, there's something wrong with every one of them.
Now you could debate the accuracy of that statement. You know, are they all neocons and there's something wrong with them? But they all had some reason to be mad at Trump. They were either fired by him or there's something they didn't like about him or they're neocons or something else. But the key point was that as JD tried to explain his point of view, Tapper just kept talking over him. So I watched three different segments that were all really interesting, and I would have wanted to see the actual exchange, but I couldn't because CNN wouldn't allow the person they were talking to to talk.
Now, did you see that even one time on any conservative podcast that you've watched lately? The last time I saw it was I was watching also Megyn Kelly appear on Bill Maher's show, and I swear he was talking over her. Now because it's Megyn Kelly, it's not your average person. She didn't let him get away with talking over her, which is hard to do by the way unless you're really, really good at it. So in media, getting talked over is hard to get out of. But you know, Megyn Kelly is a force of nature, so she does. But watching it, it seems to me that the Democrat argument has turned into I need to make sure you don't talk. Have you noticed that? So it started with the Twitter files and trying to get the social media to censor you. You know, the whole thing with Soros funding them to get the Europeans to shut you down because they don't want conservatives to even have a message. But then when they invite them on, they talk over them. I mean just grossly talk over them so they can't say a thing.
Now you could argue that same thing happens if a liberal goes on a conservative show. There might be the same thing. But my larger point is that the traditional media is a talk-over media. Here's my summary: traditional media is about talking over somebody until you run out of time. Nobody cares about that. I don't want to see anybody talk over somebody until you're out of time. Like why? What good is that? So yeah, traditional media is completely broken at this point.
Nicole Shanahan's video geniuses have another good one called The Big Cheat. So it's a campaign ad again. It's really, really well done. Whoever is making her videos is highly talented. But it's called The Big Cheat, and you think it's going to be about, you know, 2020 cheat, but it's not. It's about how Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his place at the party. It was about how the 51 intel chiefs were cheating at the end of the election. About how Biden was dethroned and it was about how Kamala was installed. And once you see how the Democrats treat other Democrats, it's really hard to imagine that the election itself is not rigged. Because everything that the Democrats are doing to themselves is rigging. I mean they're rigging each other. So to imagine that they would rig each other right in front of the whole world but not rig the election to actually win it is kind of a stretch. It'd be kind of hard to believe really that they're not going to do anything sketchy.
So there's more news on the Washington Post not endorsing anybody, which is a rare thing. They normally endorse the Democrat. And there's some reporting that maybe Jeff Bezos reached some kind of a deal with Trump. I'm not sure I'm ready to believe that. I would believe that if I heard it from Bezos or from Trump, but I would believe it from literally nobody else. I don't want to hear about somebody was in the room, somebody overheard a conversation, some anonymous source. So I don't trust anything about that story. But it seems to me that you don't need a conversation between Trump and Bezos for this to happen. Here's why.
Number one, has Bezos been active in politics so far? Not really, right? I can't think of Bezos doing anything overly political. His wife, however, which I'm sure he's just really happy with, did take many billions of his dollars and put them heavily into left-leaning things that he may not completely agree with. So you have to wonder. And somebody speculated this on X. You wonder if this is marriage related. As in, the one way you could really, really bug your ex-wife who just spent billions of your dollars on things you didn't want to be spent on could be. It was just a big F you to his wife. Now he'd have plenty of cover for why he'd have other reasons to do it, which is you should just stay out of politics. He doesn't want to get Bud Lighted. He doesn't want to get Targeted. He doesn't want to get Disneyed. Yes, he has an absolute responsibility that if you're a conservative author you still want to use Amazon. If you're a liberal author you still want to use Amazon. If there were one person that really, really, really wanted to not be involved in politics, it's Jeff Bezos. Because he's like the person who can control what algorithm shows you what books. I mean that's way too much power to come down hard on one side of politics. So Bezos being a genius, simply doing what smart people do and stay out of it.
Now if you look at Elon Musk and you say, but how can they both be smart geniuses when they're doing opposite things? I think if you look at what Elon's doing, he's far more, let's say, far more willing to take a risk. And I think he thinks there's more at stake probably. So I don't mind either opinion. They come, you know, it looks like they're coming to their decisions in different ways, but they're both smart and I would respect both those. I think I respect Bezos staying out of politics as much as I appreciate Musk getting into politics, because they don't seem to be doing it in a dumb way. They seem to be doing it for what seems to be perfectly good reasons.
Anyway, can you believe that CNN doesn't know the drink bleach hoax is a hoax? And they sold both the host and the guest argued with Scott Jennings that Trump did in fact say drink bleach. How could you have a job in news and think that happened in the real world? You know, we finally beat the fine people hoax. That's now common knowledge that that was a hoax. But the drinking bleach one? Oh my God. How anyone believes that Trump suggested drinking bleach or even injecting any kind of liquid disinfectant. If there's anybody new to the feed, the real story is he was talking about light as an antiseptic. He started by talking about light, then he talked about it, and then he bookended it by talking about light. But the other experts didn't know he was talking about light or missed that point, and they talked about other things. He never talked about anything but light. And so light was actually being tried as a disinfectant in your trachea and a disinfectant potentially in your lungs if they could stick a light source into your lungs and irradiate it with UV light. That was the idea, and that was actively being tested when Trump talked about it. And then the news turned it into drinking bleach. And then years later CNN still reports it like it's news. I mean you can't be more pathetic than that. That's pathetic. Yeah, it's just pathetic.
Anyway, Jack Posobiec has a scoop that White House insiders are saying that Biden is telling advisers the election is dead and buried and Kamala's a sucker and well, he's not happy. Now remember I always tell you that you can't believe anonymous insiders in the White House. All right? So you can't believe it when they say something about Trump. You can't believe it when they say something about Harris. And you can't believe it when they say something about Biden. It's just a general rule. One anonymous insider is like nothing. But it isn't hard to imagine that Joe Biden is having a hard time with this. You can't really think of any scenario in which he's okay with it. You also can't think of any scenario in which Biden wouldn't be talking about it. You know, he's not going to be quiet about it. And he probably wants her to lose because honestly if I were running for president and I got replaced, I would want my replacement to lose so that I could always say, you know, yeah I was a little behind in the polls but I had a chance of coming back. You replaced me with an idiot. I mean she's sort of a...
So then I saw an image that I think is real but I saw some people questioning it. That the teleprompter for the Kamala Harris rally, and I think the teleprompter was for Beyoncé, showed how to pronounce Kamala phonetically as in the word "comma-law." Now I think that's important because so many of her supporters can't say her name right. And they've already come down on the point that if you can't say her name right you're probably a racist or a sexist. But it turns out that one of her big supporters, Bruce Springsteen, also known as The Boss, calls her "Kala." So do at least half of the black supporters that anybody talks to on the street. As do maybe 25 percent of one of the supporters of hers that shows up on MSNBC or CNBC. So the Harris people start out with this: if you don't say her name right, you're obviously a bad person and you're doing it intentionally. So Trump, instead of conforming because he's not a conformer, you know he doubles down and goes with full "Kala." And then a lot of his surrogates and stuff, they go full "Kala." And so they've got this thing they can do: oh they would never do that with somebody else. They're only doing it because they're racist. That's why they use her name wrong. And then the number of times that her own supporters pronounce her name wrong, it's getting hard to ignore. I mean Bruce Springsteen on stage endorsing her doesn't know her name. She's being endorsed by people who don't know her name. Like actually don't know it because when they try to say it, that's not actually her name. The minimum requirement for endorsing somebody for president of the United States should be you know their name. Just to make us feel like you've done a little bit of work.
So let's look at how the two campaigns are doing. Let's see. Today the ex-president Trump will be in Madison Square Garden, going into the enemy, sort of an unfriendly territory in the sense that Democrats usually win New York. But Trump has been in the past highly popular in New York, more popular now than he's ever been since he's been running for president. He'll probably sell it out as well as having a lot of street action around it. It's going to be this enormous, enormous event and the visuals are going to be insane because it'll be such a big event and so much action, so much energy.
And let's see what Kamala Harris is doing. We have some video of her at a bar with Gretchen Whitmer drinking beer and cackling. Okay, we must admit that Kamala Harris's campaign hates her guts. Because if your candidate looked like a drunk and she was a cackler, you would not have her seen in a bar. Whatever you did, you would keep her as far away from a drink and a bar as you possibly could. And they put her in a bar and they put a drink in her hand. Oh my God. Now I'm not exactly some political expert consultant, but am I wrong that that was the mistake of the week? Can we conclude that Trump wins today's competition? Now I think the bar was last night and Madison Square Garden will be today, but that's a bad 24 hours. The only thing I remember is she was drinking and cackling. And that Beyoncé came. Beyoncé had to be paid a huge amount to endorse her and didn't sing and made everybody mad because they thought Beyoncé was going to sing. And then Michelle Obama shows up. And what was wrong with Michelle Obama? Did she have an allergy? Did she just get done doing lines of coke? What was wrong with her? There's something wrong with her but I don't know what it was. I mean it could just be health related. But she gets up and she tells women to, she says women have every right to demand the men in our lives do better by us. That's exactly what you didn't need. You didn't really need screechy Michelle Obama to be added to screechy Kamala to be added to screechy Hillary Clinton to tell us that all the screechy women think men suck. We get it. We get it. You hate our guts. We get it. But we have somebody we can vote for so we can just go our separate ways.
So men, the women in the Democrat Party genuinely don't like you. I mean they really, really don't like you. If you don't believe me, would you believe Van Jones? Because Van Jones said this yesterday I think. Quote: "If progressives have a politics that says all white people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil, it's kind of hard to keep them on our side. If you're chasing people out of the party, you can't be mad when they leave."
Let me read that again because he said it so well. Van Jones said this on CNN: "If progressives have a politics that says all white people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil, it's kind of hard to keep them on your side. If you're chasing away, you can't be mad when they leave."
You know, I feel like they were mad when I left because I kind of said the same thing when I got cancelled. I kind of said that if you're going to say all white people are racist, then I don't want to have any association with you. And I got cancelled worldwide. Interesting fact: in the depth of my cancellation there were some people who supported me, some privately, some publicly. Do you know one of the people who supported me privately? Van Jones. He actually called me and said what the hell is this all about? And then I told him and he listened. Wished I had not worded it that way. Was not supportive of my message whatsoever, just to be clear. He was not supportive of what I said, but he was supportive of me personally and said in direct language, I don't think you're racist, but didn't love what I said. Now that's all I wanted. That's all I wanted. I didn't want him to love what I said. So he's a voice of reason. Listen to him. He knows that the Democrats are chasing people like me away and didn't need to. I mean I was basically Democrat-leaning all of my adult life. I got chased away. I mean I ran from the people who said, well we don't like you. Maybe a little less of you would be great. And I said fine, how about less of me? Works for me too. I reached my limit.
So that's why if you wonder why I say good things about Van Jones, it's because I think he sees the whole field. And it's okay to be partisan. Partisan is okay. You know everybody's partisan. But he can see the whole field. All right. And I appreciate him.
Here's something Kim Dotcom posted today about paying off the national debt. Now before I tell you this I should remind you in the most obnoxious way so you're sick of hearing it. I do have a degree in economics and I have an MBA from a top school. I should be able to understand what Kim Dotcom says about paying off the debt. I do not. Not even close. But I want to see if you do. Or at very least can we agree that nobody has any idea how to pay off the national debt?
All right, so here's what Kim Dotcom says. Now and by the way I'm not saying he's wrong. I have questions. I don't know. Would this work? I don't see how it would. He goes, the only way out of the national debt is to print 40 trillion, settle all debt, use gold reserves to get Americans through hyperinflation and issue a new digital currency with limited supply and no mass surveillance. Abolish the Fed and ban all interest on loans. A bit of pain but problem solved.
Question: if you printed 40 trillion that would make cash worthless. But you'd use your gold reserve to get Americans through that hyperinflation. How do you do that? How would you use your gold reserves? Would you give everybody a little gold? Back the dollar with gold? What does that even mean to use our gold reserves to get us through the hyperinflation? And then how would issuing a new digital currency with limited supply help us? Because that would, in addition to the 40 trillion, we would be adding a new form of money on top of the 40 trillion. So our hyperinflation should go into hyper turbo extra hyperinflation, wouldn't it? Abolish the Fed. I'm not sure how that's exactly related to all of that. And then ban all interest on loans. How could you have a functioning economy if you ban interest on loans? What's the alternative to that? And again there might be an alternative to that because remember I'm starting with the assumption that Kim Dotcom is very smart because you know that's my impression of him. So if he's very smart and he's saying stuff I don't understand, I don't automatically assume the problem's on his end. So I'm curious enough about it. Is there enough to what he's saying that other people are saying yes, yes I know exactly what he means? Or is it just several concepts in the same place that don't fit together? I don't know.
I do think the only way we can survive the national debt is if Elon Musk can immediately cut spending so that we get that part under control and that we increase our growth rate beyond anything we've seen before. Both are possible and both of them will require Elon Musk. You're going to need Elon Musk for all of it because the growth will require robots and AI and electric cars and self-driving cabs and maybe spaceships. So it's kind of on him. You know he's got a lot going on for the future. So he would be the one behind the growth at least a lot of it. And then he would also be the one behind cutting the costs.
To me it's unbelievable that this election is close. Now I get how people say oh Trump, Trump, Trump this. But how do they explain that RFK Jr., Musk, Vivek, Tulsi, I could go on. How do Democrats explain that they haven't noticed that Trump is Hitler and that they think he has the best economic and practical plan for solving problems? How do they explain that? I would just love to spend some time saying but do you think RFK Jr. couldn't spot Hitler? Well no he's got some interest blah blah blah. Well okay but you know Israel likes Trump, right? Yeah. And you know that Israel is really good at spotting Hitlers. They're really good at it. Yeah. And you know Israel likes Trump so much they named a town after him. He's Hitler? Okay I don't think you're hearing what I'm saying.
Anyway, so the pretended war between Israel and Iran has gone to its logical conclusion. So Israel, instead of doing something that would increase the chance of response, they did something that would decrease the chance of response. Now the level of intelligence that Israel is bringing to this fight, I'm getting tired of complimenting them. You know from the pager thing to pretty much everything. Yeah at least since the poor defense of the Gaza situation, that was suboptimal. But the way they've pressed the war is really impressive. And so of course they had to attack Iran because Iran did the massive 200 missile strike. You can't let that go. But they managed to, as far as I know, kill zero people. Is that right? I think the death toll was zero of a fairly massive, completely controlling the airspace over Iran, didn't lose a single asset, and destroyed practically all of Iran's air defenses.
So the first thing Israel did was show Iran, and this is the important part, that they could easily destroy Iran's entire air defense. If you destroy their entire air defense, can Iran win a war? Well it'd be kind of hard. Iran has also demonstrated that even a massive missile attack they can basically shoot down enough that they were largely unscathed. So now Iran has the following knowledge that it did not have before. Number one, if your proxies go after us we will not just shoot back. We will destroy the entire country that they're in. That would be Gaza. And if you think Hezbollah is going to be safe, not so much. We're going to blow up every one of their leaders. We're going to keep trimming their leaders for as long as it takes and we're going to blow up every military asset that they have in their country no matter how long it takes. So that's new.
So then they prove that Iran's missiles aren't going to work and then they prove that Iran has no defense because they don't have any air defense. Israel took it out in one day. I think that was the big story. The big story is you see we're up here, right? We're now above your entire country. There's nothing you can do to shoot us down. Do you want to keep this up? Pretty good. But the thing that's amazing about this is the level of civility that got into war. Right? War is normally more like Gaza. It's messy and civilians are dying. But somehow two countries made a deal to do a fake war and then they fought it and it was conclusive because it's telling Iran, okay I guess I'm not going to make this a bigger war.
And some think that maybe Israel reduced their ability to make more rockets for another year or so. But here's what it almost feels like, and I always use this. Yeah it feels like an old Star Trek episode. But here's what they could have done. Both sides could have created a fake army base and tell the other side it's fake. Say hey Iran, we're going to build this army base. It's going to be completely fake. The F-35s going to put on it our cardboard. But we are going to put our best defense. So the missile defense is going to be our best stuff. But the things on the ground are just cardboard and plastic and you know just looks like a base. We'd like you to build one too. Why would we build a fake base? Trust us. Just build a fake base just like ours. But do put your best defense. So make sure that you have real rocket defenses. But the base itself should be fake. Why do you want it to be fake? Well we don't want to hurt anybody. We simply need to every now and then compare our technologies. So here's what's going to happen. You attack our fake base and we'll try to shoot down as many of your drones and missiles as we can. Then we'll see how you did. Okay all right. Two got through. Not much damage. What did you learn? Well we learned that if this had been a real base that we also would not have damaged anything. Exactly. Exactly.
Now in a couple days when we're ready we'll let you know when. But we're going to attack your fake base and make sure you got lots of cardboard planes there because we really want to make this a good test. All right we have many cardboard planes. Yeah but use real defense. All right your defense against our military and our planes that should be real. Yes it'll be totally real. How'd you do? Oh we lost 100 percent of our anti-aircraft defense. Okay Iran what have you learned? Okay well we learned that when we attack you we don't really blow up anything. You just blow our bombs out of the sky. And then what else did you learn Iran? Okay we learned that anytime you want to you can knock out all of our air defenses and we're helpless and then you can pick us all off. Exactly. So what should we do about this? Well same as we were doing before. No no maybe we should fund Hezbollah less. That's it. That's it. Fund Hezbollah less. Yes do that. Because if we have to blow up another one of your fake bases we'll do it. We'll do it. Oh yeah? Well if you blow up another one of our fake bases we're going to send missiles at your fake bases that you'll shoot out of the sky before they even reach the ground. So that's the kind of war I want. I want a war where nobody gets hurt. There wasn't really any chance anybody would. It's all very civilized. And when you're done you've learned something really important. You've learned if you mess with Israel they're going to mow your lawn and you're the lawn. And if you take it to the next level you're really, really going to be sorry. Message learned.
And that ladies and gentlemen is all I had to say today because we're coming into the final turn. Let's see, on Tuesday it'll be one week from election day. And how do you feel about the polls? So as you expected there will be enough polls that say it's a tie that cheating is completely on the table. We do know that there are so many reports of irregularities. I don't know how many are true and how many are not. That there's no way that the public can trust the outcome of the election. And we know that our politicians on the losing side will tell us that the election was rigged. Doesn't matter which side loses.
Now I did see Bill Maher and I've seen some other people argue that January 6 is still the big problem. And you know Trump tried to overturn the country or take over the country. Here's my best short argument for that. Number one, what day was the peaceful transfer of power scheduled to take place? January 20th, right? Is it 20th or 21st? The actual transfer day. Give me a fact check. It's like January 20th or 21st. I forget. But that's the day of the peaceful transfer. Was there a peaceful transfer? Yes, yes there was on the day that it was planned.
What the Democrats keep doing is conflating January 20th with January 6. January 6 is when our system allows you to still argue about who won. Do you know why they allow you to argue about who won? Because we have courts and we have free speech. If you have free speech and you have courts, all of that time between election day and January 20, it's fair game. You can protest. You can complain. You can demand audits. You can take things to court. You can fight as hard as you want to fight, you know in the political sense not the physical sense. And there's nothing wrong with any of that. Now did some people take it to violence? Yes. Do both sides wish that that didn't happen? Yes. Were they representative of the larger amount of the crowd? No, not even close. Less than 1 percent of the people there did anything violent. And there's no evidence that the mass part of the crowd had any plans to do anything violent. They just didn't like the election outcome.
So the first thing you got to know is that everything Trump did, if he believed the election was rigged, was very logical. And that's where the Democrats start. They start with the assumption that Trump knew the election was lost on his part. That's not just wrong, it's stupid. And we've been allowing them to do that stupid thing for four years and I've not seen one person say, oh hold on, you're starting stupid. So we don't need to talk about the rest. If your base assumption is that somehow the country could know if the election was rigged or not, and that somehow you believe that Trump is not like half of the country that believes it was rigged. In what way would you imagine that he doesn't know or doesn't believe it was rigged when I believe it was rigged? Half of the country believes it was rigged. I believe all of our elections have been rigged at least in my lifetime. And I believe that the way our system is designed, it's for the purpose of rigging. Because if you want to do it for the purpose of keeping it honest, it would look completely different. And everybody knows that.
So every time I see somebody get in a conversation about January 6, they let the bad guys make them think past the sale. The sale is what did the protesters and Trump believe about the election. If they genuinely believed it was rigged and it was obvious it was rigged, everything they did was appropriate. That's it. And then you say but violence. And I say I don't care. Because if it was rigged and 99 percent of the people were nonviolent but 1 percent were, that's just the way the world works. I'm not in favor of violence. I'm just saying that if you rig an election right in front of the public, expect some violence. Expect some violence if you rig it right in front of the public.
Now I'm not saying it was rigged because I don't have proof of that. I'm saying that it was designed for the purpose of rigging and it has every hallmark of being rigged. And every election I've been involved with probably was rigged. And if the elections are the only things that can't be rigged and aren't rigged in the United States, and every other institution and major organization from health care to finance to everything else is so obviously rigged, if you believe this is the one thing that's not, when it is the most riggable thing that we've ever had in this country, you're not a smart player. You're just not putting much brain power into the conversation.
So those are the key points. Don't let anybody assume that anybody knew the election was good because that was just not the case. I've never talked to anybody that was involved with a protest who thought that Trump actually lost. Have you? Have you ever spoken to one person, even one, just one, because there were like 20,000 people there. It was a big number. Just even one person who said I protested but you know honestly I thought Trump lost fair and square. Even one. If you can't find one person in that entire crowd who believed Trump lost, why do you think Trump believed it? Of course he thinks he won. Of course he does. And imagine what he's seen that you haven't seen. Can you imagine how much stuff you see when you're president? When you find out like what the CIA has really been doing. So suppose you knew that your country had overthrown 80 other countries. I think we did like 80 coup attempts. I don't know how many of the 80 succeeded but let's say 60. And of the 80 succeeded. If you knew for sure that we could overthrow countries and get away with it and not get caught, how would you think it wouldn't happen in our country? In what world would they not apply the same skills to control this country?
And you listen to the Democrats like Kamala and they'll say it out loud. They'll say out loud that you know we can't allow the free speech. If you can't allow the free speech you also can't allow free elections. You know that's the same thing, right? If you say that as Harris does that Elon Musk is a bad person because he lets people say whatever they want on social media. If you can't have free speech you can't have free elections. Like you couldn't possibly be in favor of free elections if the person running isn't allowed to talk. The people running should be allowed to talk. And obviously she would have censored them if she said things that her side said were not true. So Kamala Harris wants, you know like on paper she'd say yes anybody can run for office but she would want one of those people to be uncensored and the other to be censored because it disagreed with their party. It sounds like I'm making that up but she says that out loud. Yeah. So what would be the point of running for office if the things you said could be censored by the other side? She's pretty much telling you she doesn't want elections or at least not real ones. But maybe that's not so different than how it's been all along.
All right I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately. And if you're on X or YouTube or Rumble, thanks for joining. I will remind you that on Monday, that would be tomorrow, I'll be appearing on The Young Turks talking to Cenk on Monday. I guess the show starts at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time. So that's 5:00 p.m. my time. And I think actually you might be surprised by the outcome of that. And the prediction is just because Cenk is genuinely interesting and he's genuinely brave. And if you put those two together, interesting and brave, and then you throw me into the mix because I've got nothing to lose, and both of us I think both of us would want to create something of value. Like you know if we're just yelling at each other neither of us is going to be happy about that. So I think there is some chance we'll maybe move the needle or at least be interesting enough that you'll want to watch it. So I recommend it in advance.
All right everybody. And remember the Dilbert calendar can only be acquired at the link at dilbert.com. Available already for 2025.
that is working looks like everything's working today it's going to be one of those days it's going to be a day when you put in the ball goes in the hole all day long but we got a show for you while the lazy podcasters are taking the day off not me no I'm here for you good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and it's going to be the best time you've ever had in your whole life but if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a c mug glass a tank of Chels of Stein a Canen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine h of the day thing makes everything better it's called simultaneous sip go the siage is excellent today but what else is happening well one of the things you probably been asking yourself is sure they can make robots and they can make Rob robot dogs but can they make a robot dog that walks underwater yes yes they can it's called the honey badger and according to the bite these Engineers have a uh quadruped robot dog that can uh it's about a foot long and it can walk onto your pool and and it can hide into water now I can't think of anything scarier than seeing robot dog come out of water if I'm ever by a stream and a robot dog ever comes out of that stream and starts coming at me I'm going to run very very fast but then the other robot dogs will catch up with me and overtake me and put me in a cocoon and harvest me for energy I assume I mean I don't want to read too much into it but uh I do think robot dog walks underwater harvests me for energy giant cocoon I think it follows and now according to Science Blog scientists can create cancer patients as digital twins to predict how well something will go that's right they can create your digital twin and then they can put that digital twin in some digital uh medical study and then they can see how you do as a digital twin before they do it to your real body which uh as it WR raises some interesting questions doesn't it such as how many digital twins will you have for every base reality U might you have a digital twin for each kind of problem you might have for example might I create a digital twin that figures out how to solve all the water related damage in my house every single day H it could be that you're already a digital twin and that you've been created just so the real person who is you can see how your Solutions work and so having a digital cancer twin makes perfect sense and by the way there are there are a number of efforts in the world where people are trying to figure out whether medicines are working the way they're supposed to work for your cancer patients and other people as well so digital twin H now when they talk about it they don't mean it's like a simulation digital twin but it will be your your digital twin should not only uh have the same let's say DNA that you have and the same comorbidities but it should live the same lifestyle so if you eat a carrot your digital twin should eat a carrot because it's all part of the uh part of the did you do enough did you exercise apparently people Tak OIC the weight loss drug they have far lower Alzheimer risk so far I'm surprised they know that because has that drug hasn't been around that long but they say a 40 to 70% reduction uh for people who have type 2 diabetes which apparently uh suggests that you have a higher risk of uh Alzheimer's too well I don't know about you but I'm starting to think that obesity is bad for your health is anybody picking that up how's your pattern recognition so whenever people are overweight it seems that there's a wide variety of problems they have and some of them include the brain oh how many times do I tell you that your body is your brain that's right if your body is doing type two diabetes things instead of what it should be doing your brain's going to be degraded so one of the smartest things I did in my i' say late years is I decided that my uh body and my brain were the same thing and that if I exercised and a right all of my life I could get to my old age and my brain would still be working here I am I'm old and my brain is is still working so so far so good I don't know what'll happen tomorrow but today brain working did you remember that V ramaswami is the second biggest shareholder now in uh the the septic tank piece of crap called Buzz.
Feed that's a online publication now I did see a report that he visited them and he's maybe trying to convince them to have some conservative writers I don't know if that's going to happen but he's the second biggest shareholder so he's an activist I would think there's a good chance he'll get what he wants um that was reported by George on on the xplatform and I would love to know what vake has in has as a plan but I would like to point out that it does seem that traditional media is dead as a number of smart people are saying the fact that the Joe Rogan broadcast with Trump I think he did three hours and he's got um last I checked 17 million views K Harris went on the second biggest podcast in the world and got under 700,000 so 17 million in just a few days and you more coming versus 700,000 which isn't bad either but a lot of people are saying that the traditional media the CNN's and the msnbc's and the ABC News and CBS that they're basically done um and there's even thinking that they should give up their they should give up their Airwaves you know their radio um what do you call it spectrum that so there's something that the traditional media should give up its spectrum and you know what the reason is the reason is that they don't serve the public anymore it's actually a good reason the reason that the TV networks have I think free uh you know they all get allocated their own little spectrum that is rare and I think I believe the reasoning is that the public gets a benefit from having the networks have this access especially the news but now that the news from the networks is really just nothing but propaganda and we recognize it as such and the only place you can get anything useful is from independent journalists why exactly do these big entities have free free uh you know free asset from the country the bandwidth and the what would you call it the Spectrum um if they're if they're actually bad for the country so you know you I'm not sure they were ever good for the country but um at the moment it's super super obvious that the mainstream news is fake news it's propaganda it's bad for the country so why do they get free assets to be bad for the country because I think that's not even controversial at this point even people are mad at their own preferred sources you know people are mad at uh the Washington Post they're mad at the LA Times they're mad at the CNN um and they're they're mad at their own side so it's not like we're arguing that the mainstream media is good for one side and bad for the other it's both sides say hey what happened to you guys you're worthless now um so we'll see what V has has a in plan for Buzz.
Feed if I were a younger man I would say vake Buzz.
Feed needs a column columnist like me but I'm not anyway do you think do you think mream media is dead I think it's premature I think people are actually you know a little bit more wishful thinking I think it's that but the reason that the traditional media exists is not to make money so you can't predict you can't predict their fate based on economics because they're clearly their propaganda is obviously the purpose of them and I don't see any reason that they'll go away if if money isn't the reason they exist in the first place and propaganda is the reason they exist they're not going to go away because they're losing money and their propaganda so I'm going to go I'm going to go counter to the all the smart people who are saying my goodness Joe Rogan has made all the traditional mainstream media garbage eventually yes but next year no next year will exactly like this year yeah I mean you know maybe 1% difference um why is uh why is The Joe Rogan thing better well lots of reasons number one reason is that there's long time period so so people are really you know they've got all the Time in the World to answer questions um a podcaster such as Joe Rogan has all the Time in the World to follow up on a question there's nobody sitting there talking over him now let me compare that to uh three episodes of CNN so there were three separate Clips just this morning about CNN and they all had the same quality to them a conservative tried to say something that was both true and obvious and wellknown and on point and the the Liberals and or liberal who was there with them talked over them so they couldn't talk now that didn't happen on Joe Rogan did it what was anybody talking over anybody didn't need to three hours but on I I was watching Scott Jennings on CNN and uh somebody mentioned the uh the drinking bleach hoax like it was real and Scott Jennings says well you know that's a hoax and suddenly five different p IST started talking over him so that the audience couldn't hear him say that it was a hoax and I thought that is fascinating that's something you don't see on on a podcast you'll never see a podcast where somebody is completely talked over to the point where the topic changes and then I watched there was another segment where again the conservative got talked over until the time changed and then I watched Jake Tapper interviewing JD fit JD Vance and that uh tapa was using the the really play I've taught you the really play it's where you don't have to give an argument sometimes sometimes you just say the thing that somebody believes and you look at them and you go really really really that's what you believe and it can be really good as a as a persuasion thing if the person would have trouble explaining why that's really what they believe however it didn't work with JD Vance because the question was why are the all these ex um staffers of trump now turning against him and uh Jake was trying to make the point you know really are you saying that all of these people all of these people that turned against Trump really they're really there they're all bad you're saying there's something wrong with all of these people really and JD Vance looks at him he goes yes and then he explains they're all neocons and yes there's something wrong with every one of them now you could you could debate you could debate the accuracy of that statement you know are they all neocons and there's something wrong with them but they all have they all had some reason to be mad at Trump they were either fired by him or there's something they didn't like about him or their neocons or or something else but the key point was that as JD tried to explain his point of view Tapper just kept talking over him so I watched three different segments that were all really interesting and I would have wanted to see the actual exchange but I couldn't because CNN wouldn't allow the person they were talking to to talk now did you see that even one time on any conservative podcast that you've watched lately the the last time I saw it was a um I I was watching also Megan Kelly appear on um Bill marah show and I swear he was talking over now because it's Megan Kelly it's not your average person she she didn't let him get away with talking over him which is hard to do by the way un unless you're really really good at so at media getting talked over is hard to get out of but you know Megan Kelly is a force of nature so she does but watching the uh it seems to me that the the Democrat argument has turned into I need to make sure you don't talk have you noticed that so it started with the Twitter files and trying to get the social media to censor you it you know the whole Nos and Soros funding them to get the Europeans to shut you down cuz they don't want conservatives to even have a message but then when they invite them on they talk over them I mean just grossly talk over them so they can't say a thing now you could argue that same thing happens if a you know if a if a liberal goes on a uh conservative show there might be the same thing but my larger point is that the traditional media is a talk over media here's my summary traditional media is about talking over somebody until you run out of time nobody cares about that I don't want to see anybody talk over somebody until you're out of time like why what good is that so yeah traditional media is uh completely broken at this point um Nicole Shanahan's uh video Geniuses have another good one called the big cheat so it's a campaign ad again it's really really well done whoever is making her videos is highly talented but it's but it's called the big cheat and you think it's going to be about you know 2020 cheat but it's not it's about um it's about how Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his place at the party it was about how the 51 Intel chiefs were cheating at the end of the election about how Biden was dethroned and it was about how comma was installed and once you see how the Democrats treat other Democrats it's really hard to imagine that the election itself is not rigged because everything that the Democrats are doing to themselves is rigging I mean they're rigging each other so to imagine that they would rig each other right in front of the whole world but not rig the election to actually win it is kind of a stretch it'd be kind of hard to believe really really that they're not not going to do anything uh sketchy so uh there's more news on the Washington Post not endorsing uh anybody which is the a rare thing they normally they normally endorse the Democrat and there's some reporting that um maybe Jeff bezos's reach some kind of a deal with Trump I'm not sure I'm ready to believe that I would believe that if I heard it from Bezos or from Trump but I would believe it from literally nobody else I don't want to hear about somebody was in the room somebody overheard a conversation some anonymous source so I don't trust anything about that story but it seems to me that you don't need a conversation between Trump and Bezos for this to happen here's why number one has Bezos been active in politics so far not really right I I I can't think of Bezos doing anything overly political his wife however which I'm sure he's just really happy with did take many billions of his dollars and put them heavily into left leaning things that he may not completely agree with so you have to wonder and somebody speculated this on X you you wonder if this is marriage related as in the the one way you could really really bug your ex-wife who just spent billions of your dollars on things you didn't want to be spent on could be it was just a big F you to his wife now he'd have he'd have plenty of cover for why he'd have other reasons to do it which is you should just stay out of politics he doesn't want to get Bud lighted doesn't want to get Target stored doesn't want to get Disney yes he has an absolute responsibility that if you're a conservative author you still want to use Amazon if you're a liberal author you still want to use Amazon if there were one person that really really really want to not be involved in politics is Jeff Bezos because he he's like the person who can control what algorithm shows you what books I mean that's way too much power to come down hard on one side of politics so Bezos being a genius simply doing what smart people do and stay out of it now if you look at Elon Musk and you say but but how can they both be smart Geniuses when they're doing opposite things I think if you look at what elon's doing he's far more um let's say far more willing to take a risk and I think he has he thinks there's more at stake probably um so I don't mind either opinion they they come you know it looks like they're coming to their decisions in different ways but they're both smart and uh I would respect both those I think I respect that equally I I respect Bezos staying out of Politics as much as I appreciate musk getting into politics because they don't seem to be doing it in a dumb way they seem to be doing it for what seems to be perfectly good reasons anyway can you believe the CNN doesn't know the drink bleach hoax is a hoax and they they sold both the host and the guest argued with Scott Jennings that the that the Trump did in fact say drink bleach how could you have a job in news and think that happened in the real world you know we we finally beat the fine people hoax that that's now common knowledge that that was a hoax but the drinking bleach one oh my God how anyone believes that Trump suggested drinking bleach or even or even injecting uh any kind of liquid disinfectant if there's anybody new to the feed the real story is he was talking about light as an antiseptic he started by talking light then he talked about it and then he book ended it by talking about light but the other experts didn't know he was talking about light or missed that point and they talked about other things he never talked about anything but light and so light was actually being tried as a as a disinfectant in your trachea and a disinfectant potentially in your lungs if they could stick a a light source into your lungs and IR radiate it with UV light that was the idea and that was actively being tested when Trump talked about it and then the news turned it into drinking bleach and then years later CNN still reports It Like It's News I mean you can't be more pathetic than that that's pathetic yeah it's just pathetic anyway um Jack babic has a scoop that White House insiders are saying that Biden is telling advisers the election is dead and buried and commas and and N sucker and well he's not happy now remember I always tell you that you can't believe um Anonymous insiders in the White House all right so you can't believe it when they say something about Trump you can't believe it when they say something about Harris and you can't believe it when they say something about Biden it's just a general rule one Anonymous Insider is like nothing happened but it isn't hard to imagine that Joe Biden is having a hard time with this you you can't really think of any scenario in which he's okay with it you also can't think of any scenario in which Biden wouldn't be talking about it you know he's not going to be quiet about it and he probably wants her to lose because honestly if if I were running for president and I got replaced I would want my replacement to lose so that I could always say you know yeah I get I was a little behind in the polls but I had a chance of coming back you replaced with an idiot I mean she's sort of a so then uh I saw a image that I think is real but I saw some people questioning it that the teleprompter for the Kam Harris rally and I think the teleprompter was for Beyonce um showed how to pronounce kamla phonetically as in the word comma Dash law now I think that's important because so many of her supporters can't say her name right and they've already come down on the point that if you can't say her name right you're probably a racist or a sexist but it turns out that one of her big supporters Bruce Springstein also known as the boss calls her Cala so do at least half of the black supporters that they they that anybody talks to on the street a as do maybe 25% of one of the supporters of hers that that shows up on MSNBC or CNBC so so the Harris people start out with this if if you don't say your name right you're obviously a bad person and you're doing it intentionally so Trump instead of you know conforming because he's not a conformer you know he doubles down and and and goes with full Cala and then a lot of the a lot of his Sur gets and stuff they go full Cala and and so they've got this thing they can do oh they would never do that with somebody else they're only doing it because because they're racist that's why they use her name wrong and then the number of times that her own supporters pronounce your name wrong it's getting hard to ignore I mean Bruce Springstein on stage endorsing her doesn't know her name she's being endorsed by people who don't know her name like actually don't know it because when they try to say it that's not actually her name the minimum requirement for endorsing somebody for president of the United States should be you know their name just to make us feel like you've done a little bit of work so let's let's look at how the two campaigns are doing let's see uh today uhe uh ex president Trump will be in Madison Square Garden going into the enemy sort of an unfriendly territory um in the sense that Democrats usually win New York but Trump has been in the past highly popular in New York more popular now than he's ever been since he's been running for president he'll probably sell out as well as having a lot of Street action around it it's going to be this enormous enormous event and the visuals are going to be insane because it'll be such a big event and so much action so much energy and let's see what KL Harris is doing uh we have some video of her at a bar with Gretchen Whitmer drinking beer and cackling okay we must we must admit that Comm Harris's campaign hates her guts because if your candidate look like a drunk and she was a cackler you would not have her seen in a bar what ever you did you would keep her as far away from a drink in as bar as you possibly could and they put her in a bar and they put a drink in her hand oh my God now I'm not exactly some you know political expert consultant but uh am I wrong that that was the mistake of the week can we conclude that Trump wins uh today's competition now I think the bar was last night in the you know Madison Square Garden will be today but that's a bad 24 hours the only thing I remember is she was drinking and cackling and that Beyonce came Beyonce had to be paid a huge amount to Endor her and didn't sing and made everybody mad because they thought be was going to sing and then Michelle Obama shows up and what was wrong with Michelle Obama did she have an allergy did she just get done doing lines of coke what was wrong with her there's something wrong with her but I don't know what it was I mean it could just be a health related but she gets up and she tells women um to uh she says women have every right to demand the men in our lives do better by us um that's exactly what you didn't need you didn't really really need screechy Michelle Obama to be added to screechy Kamala to be added to screechy Hillary Clinton to tell us that all the screechy women think men suck we get it we get it you hate our guts we get it but we have somebody we can vote for so we can just go our separate ways so men the the W the women in the Democrat Party genuinely don't like you I mean they really really don't like you if you don't believe me would you believe van Jones because van Jones said uh this yesterday I think quote if progressives have uh a politics that says all white people are racist all men are toxic and all billionaires are evil it's kind of hard to keep them on our side if you're chasing people out of the party you can't be mad when they leave H let me read that again because he said it so well vanan Jones said this on see then if progressives have politics that says all white people are racist all men are toxic and all billionaires are evil it's kind of hard to keep them on your side if you're chasing away you can't be mad when they leave you know I feel like they were mad when I left CU I kind of said the same thing when I got cancelled I kind of said that if you're going to say all white people are racist then I don't want to have any association with you and I got cancelled worldwide interesting fact in the depth of my cancellation there were some people who supported me some privately some publicly do you know one of the people who supported me privately van Jones he actually called me and said what the hell is this all about and then I told him and he listened you know wished I had not worded it that way was was not supportive of my message whatsoever just just to be clear he was not supportive of what I said but he was supportive of me personally and said in in direct language I don't think you're racist but didn't love what I said now that's all I wanted that's all I wanted I didn't want him to love what I said so um he's a voice of reason listen to him he he knows that the Democrats are chasing people like me away and didn't need to I mean I was basically Democrat leading all of my adult life I got chased away I mean I I ran from the people who said well we don't like you maybe a little less of you would be great and I said fine how about less of me works for me too I reached my limit so that's why if you if you wonder why I say good things about van Jones is because I think he sees the whole field and uh it's okay to be partisan partisan is okay you know everybody's partisan but uh he can see the whole field all right and I appreciate him here's something kim.com posted today about paying off the national debt now before I tell you this I should uh remind you in the most obnoxious way so you're sick of hearing it I do have a degree in economics and I have an MBA from a top school I should be able to understand what kim.com says about paying off the debt I do not not even close but I want to see if you do or or at very least can we agree that nobody has any idea how to pay off the national debt all right so here's what kim.com says now and by the way I'm not saying he's wrong I I have questions I don't know would this work I don't see how it would he goes uh the only way out about the national debt is to print 40 trillion settle all debt use gold reserves to get Americans through hyperinflation and issue a new digital currency with limited Supply and no Mass surveillance abolish the fed and ban all interest on loans a bit of pain but problem solved um question if you printed 40 trillion uh that would make cash worthless but you'd use your gold Reserve to get Americans through that hyperinflation how do you do that how would you use your gold reserves would you do what uh give everybody a little gold back the dollar with gold what does that even mean to use our gold reserves to get get us through the hyperinflation and then how would issuing a new digital currency with limited Supply help us because that would in addition to the 40 trillion we would be adding a new form of money on top of the 40 trillion so our hyperinflation should go into hypert turbo extra hyperinflation wouldn't it um abolish the fed I'm not sure how that's exactly related to all of that um and then ban all interest on loans how could you have a functioning economy if you Bann interest on loans what's the alternative to that and again there might be an alternative to that because remember I'm starting with the assumption that kim.com is very smart because you know that's my impression of him so if he's very smart and he's saying stuff I don't understand I don't automatically assume the problems on his end so I'm curious enough about it is there is there enough to what he's saying that other people are saying yes yes I know exactly what he means or is it just several Concepts in the same place that don't fit together I don't know um I do think the only way we can survive the national debt is if Elon Musk can immediately cut spending so that we get that part under control and that we we increase our growth rate beyond anything we've seen before both are possible and both of them will require Elon Musk you're going to need Elon Musk for all of it because the growth will require robots and Ai and electric cars and self-driving cabs and maybe spaceships so it's kind of on him you know he's got a lot going on for the future um so he he would be the one behind the growth at least a lot of it and then he would also be the one behind cutting the costs uh to me it's unbelievable that this election is close now I get how people say oh Trump Trump trump this but how do they explain that RFK Jr musk V you know tulsy I could go on how do how do Democrats explain that they haven't noticed that Trump is Hitler and that they think he has the best economic and practical plan for solving problems how did they explain that I would just love to spend some time saying but do you think RFK Jr couldn't spot Hitler well no he's got some he's some interest blah blah blah well okay but you know Israel likes Trump right yeah and you know that Israel is really good as spotting Hitlers they're really good at it yeah and you know the Israel likes Trump so much they named a town after him uh he's Hitler okay I don't think you're hearing what I'm saying anyway so um the pretended war between Israel and Iran has uh gone to its logical conclusion so Israel instead of uh doing something that would increase um the chance of response they did something that would decrease the chance of response now the level of intelligence that Israel is bringing to this fight I I'm getting tired of compliment ing them you know from the the pager thing to pretty much everything yeah at least at least since the poor defense of the Gaza situation that was suboptimal but uh the way they've pressed the war is really impressive and so they of course they had to attack Iran because Iran did the massive 200 missile strike he can't let that go but they managed to as far as I know kill zero people is that right I I think the death toll was Zero of a fairly massive completely controlling the airspace over Iran didn't lose a single asset um and destroyed all of practically all of Iran's air defenses so the first thing Israel did was show that show Iran and this is the important part that they could easily destroy Iran's entire air defense if you destroy their entire air defense can Iran win a war well' be kind of hard Iran has also demonstrated that even a massive missile attack they can basically shoot down enough that they were largely unscathed so now now Iran has the following knowledge that it did not have before number one if your proxies go after after us we will not just shoot back we will destroy the entire country that they're in that would be Gaza and and if you think hezb is going to be safe not so much we're going to blow up every one of their leaders we're going to keep trimming their leaders for as long as it takes and we're going to blow up every military asset that they have in their country no matter how long it takes so that's new so then they prove that Ran's missiles aren't going to work and then they prove that Iran has no defense because they don't have any air defense Israel took it out in one day I think that was the big story the big story is you see we're up here right we're now above your entire country there's nothing you can do to shoot us down do you want to do you want to keep this up pretty good but the the thing that's amazing about this is the the level of Civility that got into war right war is normally more like you know Gaza it's it's messy and civilians are dying but somehow two countries made a deal to do a fake war and then they fought it and and it was conclusive because it's telling Iran okay I guess I'm not going to you know make this a bigger war and uh some think that uh maybe Israel reduced their ability to make more rockets for another year or so but here's what it almost feels like and I always use this yeah it feels like an old Star Trek episode but here's what they could have done both sides could have created a fake army base and tell the other side it's fake say hey Iran we're going to build this army base it's going to be completely fake the f-35s going to put on it our cardboard and but we are going to put our best defense so the missile defense uh is going to be our best stuff but the things on the ground are just cardboard and plastic and you know just looks like a base we'd like you to build one too uh what why would we build a fake base trust us just build a fake base just like ours but do put your best defense so make sure that you have real rocket defenses but the base itself should be fake why do you want it to be fake well we don't want to hurt anybody we we simply need to every now and then compare our Technologies so here's what's going to happen you attack our fake base and we'll try to shoot down as many your drones and missiles as we can then we'll see how you did okay all right two got through not much damage what did you learn well we learned that if this had been a real base that we also would not have damaged anything exactly exactly now in a couple days when we're ready we'll let you know when but we're going to attack your fake base and make make sure you got lots of cardboard planes there because we really want to make this a good test all right we have many cardboard planes yeah but but use real real defense all right your defense against our military and our our planes that should be real yes it'll be totally real how'd you do oh we lost 100% of our anti-aircraft defense okay Iran what have you learned okay well we learned that when we attack you we don't really blow up anything you just blow our our bombs out of the sky and then what else did you learn Iran okay we learned that anytime you want to you can knock out all of our air defenses and we're helpless and then you can pick us all off exactly so what should we do about this well same as we were doing before no no maybe we should fund Hezbollah less that's it that's it fund Hezbollah less yes do that because if we have to blow up another one of your fake bases we'll do it we'll do it oh yeah well if you blow up another one of our fake bases we're going to send missiles at your fake bases that you'll shoot out of the sky before they even reach the ground so that's the kind of War I want I want a war where nobody gets hurt there wasn't really any chance anybody would it's all very civilized and when you're done you've learned something really important you've learned if you with Israel they're going to mow your lawn and you're the lawn on and if you take it to the next level you're really really going to be sorry message learned and that ladies and gentlemen is all I had to say today because uh we're coming into the final uh final turn let's see from let's see on Tuesday it'll be one week from election day and uh how do you feel about the polls so as you expected there will be enough polls that say it's a tie that cheating is completely on the table we do know that there are so many reports of irregularities I don't know how many are true and how many are not that uh there's no way that the public can trust the outcome of the election and we know that our politicians uh on the losing side will tell us that the election was riged doesn't matter which side loses now I did see Bill Maher and I've seen some other people argue that January 6 is still the big problem and you know Trump tried to over turn the country or take over the country here's my best short argument for that number one what day was the peaceful transfer of power scheduled to take place um January 20th right is it 20th or 21st the the actual transfer day give me a fact check it's like January 20th or 21st I forget but that's the day of the the peaceful transfer was there a peaceful transfer yes yes there was on the day that it was planned what the Democrats keep doing is conflating January 20th with January 6 January 6 is when our system allows you to still argue about who won do you know why they allow you to argue about who won because we have courts and we have free speech if you have free speech and you have courts all of that time between election day and January 20 it's fair game you can protest you can complain you can demand audits you can uh take things to court you can fight as hard as you want to fight you know in the political sense not the physical sense and there's nothing wrong with any of that now did some people take it to violence yes do both sides wish that that didn't happen yes were they representative of the larger amount of the crowd no not even close less than one fewer than 1% of the people there did anything violent so that and and there's no evidence that that the mass part of the crowd had any plans to do anything violent they just didn't like the election outcome so the first thing you got to know is that everything Trump did if he believed the election was real was very bad and that's where that's where the Democrats start they start with the assumption that Trump knew the election was lost on his part that's not just wrong it's stupid and we've been allowing them to do that stupid thing for four years and I've not seen one person say oh hold on you're starting stupid so we we don't need to talk about the rest if your base assumption is that somehow the country could know if the election was rigged or not and that somehow you believe that Trump um is not like half of the country that believes it was rigged in what way would you imagine that he doesn't know or doesn't believe it was rigged when I believe it was rigged I do half of the country believes it was rigged I believe all of our elections have been rigged at least in my lifetime and I and I believe that the way our system is designed it's for the purpose of ragging because if you want to do it for the purpose of keeping it honest it would look completely different and everybody knows that so every time I see somebody get in a conversation about January 6 they let the bad guys um make them think past the sale the sale is what did the protesters and Trump believe about the election if they genuinely believed it was rigged and it was obvious it was rigged everything they did was appropriate that's it and then you say but but violence and I say I don't care because if it was rigged and 99% of the people were nonviolent but 1% were that's just the way the world works you I'm not in favor of violence I'm just saying that if you rig an election right in front of the public expect some violence expect some violence if you rig it right in front of the public now I'm not saying it was rigged because I don't have you know proof of that I'm saying that it was designed for the purpose of rigging and it has every Hallmark of being rigged and every election I've been involved with probably was rigged and if the elections are the only things that can't be rigged and aren't be rigged in the United States and every other institution and major organization from Health Care to finance to everything else is so obviously rigged if you believe this is the one thing that's not when it is the most rigal thing that we've ever had in this country you're not a smart player you you're just not putting much brain power into the into the conversation so those are the key points don't let anybody assume that anybody knew the election was good because that was just not the case I I've never talked to anybody that was involved with a protest who thought that Trump actually lost have you have you ever spoken to one person even one just one because there were like 20,000 people there it was a big number just even one person who said I protested but you know honestly I thought Trump lost fair and square even one if you can't find one person in that entire crowd who believed Trump lost why do you think Trump believed it of course he thinks he won of course he does and imagine what he's seen that you haven't seen can you imagine how much stuff you see when you're president whe When you find out like what the CIA has really been doing so suppose you knew that your country had overthrown 80 other countries I think we did like 80 coup attempts I don't know how many of the 80s succeeded but let's say 60 and of the 80s succeeded if you knew for sure that we could overthrow countries and get away with it and not get caught how would you think it wouldn't happen in our country in in in what world would they not apply the same skills to control this country and you listen to the Democrats like K Lis and they'll say it out loud they'll say out loud that you know we can't allow the Free Speech if you can't allow the free speech you also can't allow free elections you know that's the same thing right if if you say that uh as Harris does that uh Elon mus is a bad person because he lets people say whatever they want on social media if you can't have free speech you can't have free elections like you couldn't possibly be in favor of free elections if the person running isn't allowed to talk the the people running should be allowed to talk and obviously she would have she would censor them if she said things that her side said were not true so K Harris wants you know like on paper she'd say yes anybody can run for office but she would want one of those people to be uncensored and the other to be censored because it disagreed with their party it sounds like I'm making that up but she says that out loud yeah so what would would be the point of running for office if the things you said could be censored by the other side she's pretty much telling you she doesn't want elections or at least not real ones but maybe that's not so different than how it's been all right I'm going to go talk to the uh locals people privately and if you're on X or You.
Tube or Rumble thanks for joining um I will remind you that on Monday that would be tomorrow I'll be appearing on The Young Turks talking to Jen on Monday I guess the show starts at 800m Eastern time um so that's 5:00 P PM my time and uh I think actually you might be surprised by the outcome of that um and the prediction is just because Jen is genuinely interesting and he's genuinely Brave and if you put those two together interesting and brave and then you throw me into the mix because I got nothing to lose um and both of us I think both of us would want to create something of value like you know if if we're just yelling at each other you neither of us is going to be happy about that so I think I think there is some chance will uh you maybe move the needle or at least be interesting enough that you'll want to watch it so I recommend it in advance all right everybody and remember the dilber calendar can only be acquired at the link at dilbert.com available already for 2025 e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
that is working looks like everything's
working today it's going to be one of
those
days it's going to be a day when you put
in the ball goes in the
hole all day
long but we got a show for you while the
lazy podcasters are taking the day
off not me no I'm here for you
[Music]
good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization it's
called coffee with Scott Adams and it's
going to be the best time you've ever
had in your whole life but if you'd like
to take this up to levels that nobody
can even understand with their tiny
shiny human brains all you need for that
is a c mug glass a tank of Chels of
Stein a Canen jug or flask a vessel of
any kind fill it with your favorite
liquid I like coffee and join me now for
the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine
h of the day thing makes everything
better it's called simultaneous sip
go the siage is excellent
today but what else is
happening well one of the things you
probably been asking yourself is sure
they can make robots and they can make
Rob robot dogs but can they make a robot
dog that walks underwater yes yes they
can it's called the honey badger and
according to the bite these Engineers
have a uh quadruped robot dog that can
uh it's about a foot long and it can
walk onto your pool and and it can hide
into
water now I can't think of anything
scarier than seeing robot dog come out
of
water if I'm ever by a stream and a
robot dog ever comes out of that stream
and starts coming at me I'm going to
run very very fast but then the other
robot dogs will catch up with me and
overtake me and put me in a cocoon and
harvest me for energy I assume I mean I
don't want to read too much into it but
uh I do think robot dog walks underwater
harvests me for energy giant cocoon
I think it
follows and now according to Science
Blog scientists can create cancer
patients as digital twins to predict how
well something will go that's right they
can create your digital twin and then
they can put that digital twin in some
digital uh medical study and then they
can see how you do as a digital twin
before they do it to your real body
which uh as it WR raises some
interesting questions doesn't
it such
as how many digital twins will you have
for every base reality
U might you have a digital twin for each
kind of problem you might have for
example might I create a digital twin
that figures out how to solve all the
water related damage in my house every
single day
H it could be that you're already a
digital twin and that you've been
created just so the real person who is
you can see how your Solutions work and
so having a digital cancer twin makes
perfect sense and by the way there are
there are a number of efforts in the
world where people are trying to figure
out whether medicines are working the
way they're supposed to work for your
cancer patients and other people as well
so digital twin H now when they talk
about it they don't mean it's like a
simulation digital twin but it will
be your your digital twin should not
only uh have the same let's say DNA that
you have and the same comorbidities but
it should live the same
lifestyle so if you eat a carrot your
digital twin should eat a carrot because
it's all part of the uh part of the did
you do enough did you exercise
apparently people Tak OIC the weight
loss drug they have far lower Alzheimer
risk so far I'm surprised they know that
because has that drug hasn't been around
that long but they say a 40 to 70%
reduction uh for people who have type 2
diabetes which apparently uh suggests
that you have a higher risk of uh
Alzheimer's too
well I don't know about you but I'm
starting to think that obesity is bad
for your health is anybody picking that
up how's your pattern
recognition so whenever people are
overweight it seems that there's a wide
variety of problems they have and some
of them include the brain oh how many
times do I tell you that your body is
your brain that's right if your body is
doing type two diabetes things instead
of what it should be doing your brain's
going to be
degraded so one of the smartest things I
did in my i' say late years is I decided
that my uh body and my brain were the
same thing and that if I exercised and a
right all of my life I could get to my
old age and my brain would still be
working here I am I'm old and my brain
is is still working so so far so good I
don't know what'll happen tomorrow but
today brain
working did you remember that V
ramaswami is the second biggest
shareholder now in uh the the septic
tank piece of crap called BuzzFeed
that's a online
publication now I did see a report that
he visited them and he's maybe trying to
convince them to have some conservative
writers I don't know if that's going to
happen but he's the second biggest
shareholder so he's an activist I would
think there's a good chance he'll get
what he wants um that was reported by
George on on the
xplatform and I would love to know what
vake has in has as a plan but I would
like to point out that it does seem that
traditional media is dead as a number of
smart people are saying the fact that
the Joe
Rogan broadcast with
Trump I think he did three hours and
he's got um last I checked 17 million
views K Harris went on the second
biggest podcast in the world and got
under
700,000 so 17
million in just a few days and you more
coming versus 700,000 which isn't bad
either but a lot of people are saying
that the traditional media the CNN's and
the msnbc's and the ABC News and CBS
that they're basically
done um and there's even thinking that
they should give up their they should
give up their Airwaves you know their
radio um what do you call it spectrum
that so there's something that the
traditional media should give up its
spectrum and you know what the reason is
the reason is that they don't serve the
public
anymore it's actually a good reason the
reason that the TV networks have I think
free uh you know they all get allocated
their own little spectrum that is rare
and I think I believe the reasoning is
that the public gets a benefit from
having the networks have this access
especially the news but now that the
news from the networks is really just
nothing but propaganda and we recognize
it as
such and the only place you can get
anything useful is from independent
journalists why exactly do these big
entities have free free uh you know free
asset from the
country the bandwidth and the what would
you call it the
Spectrum um if they're if they're
actually bad for the
country so you know you I'm not sure
they were ever good for the country but
um at the moment it's super super
obvious that the mainstream news is fake
news it's propaganda it's bad for the
country so why do they get free assets
to be bad for the
country because I think that's not even
controversial at this point even people
are mad at their own preferred sources
you know people are mad at uh the
Washington Post they're mad at the LA
Times they're mad at the
CNN um and they're they're mad at their
own side so it's not like we're arguing
that the mainstream media is good for
one side and bad for the other it's both
sides say hey what happened to you guys
you're worthless now um so we'll see
what V has has a in plan for
BuzzFeed if I were a younger man I would
say vake BuzzFeed needs a column
columnist like me but I'm
not
anyway do you think do you think mream
media is dead I think it's premature I
think people are actually you know a
little bit more wishful thinking I think
it's that but the reason that the
traditional media exists is not to make
money so you can't predict you can't
predict their fate based on economics
because they're clearly their propaganda
is obviously the purpose of them
and I don't see any reason that they'll
go away if if money isn't the reason
they exist in the first place and
propaganda is the reason they exist
they're not going to go away because
they're losing money and their
propaganda so I'm going to go I'm going
to go counter to the all the smart
people who are saying my goodness Joe
Rogan has made all the traditional
mainstream media
garbage eventually
yes but next year no next year will
exactly like this year yeah I mean you
know maybe 1%
difference um why is uh why is The Joe
Rogan thing better well lots of reasons
number one reason is that there's long
time period so so people are really you
know they've got all the Time in the
World to answer
questions um a podcaster such as Joe
Rogan has all the Time in the World to
follow up on a question there's nobody
sitting there talking over him now let
me compare that
to uh three episodes of
CNN so there were three separate Clips
just this morning about CNN and they all
had the same quality to them a
conservative tried to say something that
was both true and obvious and wellknown
and on point and the the Liberals and or
liberal who was there with them talked
over them so they couldn't
talk now that didn't happen on Joe Rogan
did
it what was anybody talking over anybody
didn't need to three hours but on I I
was watching Scott Jennings on CNN and
uh somebody mentioned the uh the
drinking bleach
hoax like it was real and Scott Jennings
says well you know that's a hoax and
suddenly five different p IST started
talking over him so that the audience
couldn't hear him say that it was a hoax
and I thought that is fascinating that's
something you don't see on on a podcast
you'll never see a podcast where
somebody is completely talked over to
the point where the topic changes and
then I watched there was another segment
where again the conservative got talked
over until the time changed and then I
watched Jake Tapper interviewing JD fit
JD Vance and that uh tapa was using the
the really play I've taught you the
really play it's where you don't have to
give an argument sometimes sometimes you
just say the thing that somebody
believes and you look at them and you go
really
really really that's what you believe
and it can be really good as a as a
persuasion thing if the
person would have trouble explaining why
that's really
what they
believe however it didn't work with JD
Vance because the question was why are
the all these ex um staffers of trump
now turning against him and uh Jake was
trying to make the point you know really
are you saying that all of these people
all of these people that turned against
Trump really they're really there
they're all bad you're saying there's
something wrong with all of these people
really and JD Vance looks at him he goes
yes and then he explains they're all
neocons and yes there's something wrong
with every one of
them now you could you could debate you
could debate the accuracy of that
statement you know are they all neocons
and there's something wrong with them
but they all have they all had some
reason to be mad at Trump they were
either fired by him or there's something
they didn't like about him or their
neocons or or something else
but the key point was that as JD tried
to explain his point of view Tapper just
kept talking over him so I watched three
different segments that were all really
interesting and I would have wanted to
see the actual exchange but I couldn't
because CNN wouldn't allow the person
they were talking to to
talk now did you see that even one time
on any conservative podcast that you've
watched
lately the the last time I saw it was a
um I I was watching also Megan Kelly
appear on um Bill marah show and I swear
he was talking over now because it's
Megan Kelly it's not your average person
she she didn't let him get away with
talking over him which is hard to do by
the way un unless you're really really
good at so at media getting talked over
is hard to get out of but you know Megan
Kelly is a force of nature so she does
but watching the uh it seems to me that
the the Democrat argument has turned
into I need to make sure you don't talk
have you noticed that so it started with
the Twitter files and trying to get the
social media to censor you it you know
the whole Nos and Soros funding them to
get the Europeans to shut you down cuz
they don't want conservatives to even
have a message but then when they invite
them on they talk over them I mean just
grossly talk over them so they can't say
a
thing now you could argue that same
thing happens if a you know if a if a
liberal goes on a uh conservative show
there might be the same thing but my
larger point is that the traditional
media is a talk over
media here's my summary traditional
media is about talking over somebody
until you run out of time nobody cares
about that I don't want to see anybody
talk over somebody until you're out of
time like
why what good is that so yeah
traditional media is uh completely
broken at this
point um Nicole Shanahan's uh video
Geniuses have another good one called
the big cheat so it's a campaign ad
again it's really really well done
whoever is making her videos is highly
talented but it's but it's called the
big cheat and you think it's going to be
about you know 2020 cheat but it's not
it's about
um it's about how Bernie Sanders was
cheated out of his place at the party it
was about how the 51 Intel chiefs were
cheating at the end of the election
about how Biden was dethroned and it was
about how comma was
installed and once you see how the
Democrats treat other
Democrats it's really hard to imagine
that the election itself is not rigged
because everything that the Democrats
are doing to themselves is
rigging I mean they're rigging each
other so to imagine that they would rig
each other right in front of the whole
world but not rig the election to
actually win it is kind of a stretch
it'd be kind of hard to
believe really really that they're not
not going to do anything uh
sketchy so uh there's more news on the
Washington Post not endorsing uh anybody
which is the a rare thing they normally
they normally endorse the Democrat and
there's some reporting that um maybe
Jeff bezos's reach some kind of a deal
with
Trump I'm not sure I'm ready to believe
that I would believe that if I heard it
from Bezos or from
Trump but I would believe it from
literally nobody else I don't want to
hear about somebody was in the room
somebody overheard a
conversation some anonymous source so I
don't trust anything about that story
but it seems to me that you don't need a
conversation between
Trump and Bezos for this to happen
here's why number one has Bezos been
active in politics so
far not really right I I I can't think
of Bezos doing anything overly
political his wife however which I'm
sure he's just really happy with did
take many billions of his dollars and
put them heavily into left leaning
things that he may not completely agree
with so you have to wonder and somebody
speculated this on X you you wonder if
this is marriage
related as in the the one way you could
really really bug your ex-wife who just
spent billions of your dollars on things
you didn't want to be spent
on could be it was just a big F you to
his
wife now he'd have he'd have plenty of
cover for why he'd have other reasons to
do it which is you should just stay out
of politics he doesn't want to get Bud
lighted doesn't want to get Target
stored doesn't want to get
Disney yes he has an absolute
responsibility that if you're a
conservative author you still want to
use Amazon if you're a liberal author
you still want to use Amazon if there
were one
person that really really really want to
not be involved in politics is Jeff
Bezos because he he's like the person
who can control what algorithm shows you
what books I mean that's way too much
power to come down hard on one side of
politics so Bezos being a
genius simply doing what smart people do
and stay out of it
now if you look at Elon Musk and you say
but but how can they both be smart
Geniuses when they're doing opposite
things I think if you look at what
elon's doing he's far
more um let's say far more willing to
take a
risk and I think he has he thinks
there's more at stake probably um so I
don't mind either opinion they they come
you know it looks like they're coming to
their decisions in different ways but
they're both
smart and uh I would respect both
those I think I respect that equally I I
respect Bezos staying out of Politics as
much as I appreciate musk getting into
politics because they don't seem to be
doing it in a dumb way they seem to be
doing it for what seems to be perfectly
good
reasons anyway can you believe the CNN
doesn't know the drink bleach hoax is a
hoax and they they sold both the host
and the guest argued with Scott Jennings
that the that the Trump did in fact say
drink
bleach how could you have a job in news
and think that happened in the real
world you know we we finally beat the
fine people hoax that that's now common
knowledge that that was a
hoax but the drinking bleach one oh my
God how anyone believes that Trump
suggested drinking bleach or even or
even injecting uh any kind of liquid
disinfectant if there's anybody new to
the feed the real story is he was
talking about light as an antiseptic he
started by talking light then he talked
about it and then he book ended it by
talking about light but the other
experts didn't know he was talking about
light or missed that point and they
talked about other things he never
talked about anything but light and so
light was actually being tried as a
as a disinfectant in your
trachea and a disinfectant potentially
in your lungs if they could stick a a
light source into your lungs and IR
radiate it with UV light that was the
idea and that was actively being tested
when Trump talked about
it and then the news turned it into
drinking bleach and then years later CNN
still reports It Like It's
News I mean you can't be more pathetic
than that
that's pathetic yeah it's just
pathetic
anyway um Jack babic has a scoop that
White House insiders are saying that
Biden is telling advisers the election
is dead and buried and commas and and N
sucker and well he's not
happy now remember I always tell you
that you can't believe um Anonymous
insiders in the White House
all right so you can't believe it when
they say something about Trump you can't
believe it when they say something about
Harris and you can't believe it when
they say something about Biden it's just
a general rule one Anonymous Insider is
like nothing happened
but it isn't hard to
imagine that Joe Biden is having a hard
time with
this you you can't really think of any
scenario in which he's okay with
it you also can't think of any scenario
in which Biden wouldn't be talking about
it you know he's not going to be quiet
about it and he probably wants her to
lose because honestly if if I were
running for president and I got
replaced I would want my replacement to
lose so that I could always say you know
yeah I get I was a little behind in the
polls but I had a chance of coming back
you replaced with an idiot I mean she's
sort of a
so then uh I saw a image that I think is
real but I saw some people questioning
it that the teleprompter for the Kam
Harris rally and I think the
teleprompter was for
Beyonce um showed how to pronounce kamla
phonetically as in the word comma Dash
law now I think that's important because
so many of her supporters can't say her
name right and they've already come down
on the point that if you can't say her
name right you're probably a racist or a
sexist but it turns out that one of her
big supporters Bruce Springstein also
known as the boss calls her
Cala so do at least half of the black
supporters that they they that anybody
talks to on the street a as do maybe
25% of one of the supporters of hers
that that shows up on MSNBC or
CNBC so so the Harris people start out
with this if if you don't say your name
right you're obviously a bad person and
you're doing it intentionally so Trump
instead of you know conforming because
he's not a
conformer you know he doubles down and
and and goes with full
Cala and then a lot of the a lot of his
Sur gets and stuff they go full Cala
and and so they've got this thing they
can do oh they would never do that with
somebody else they're only doing it
because because they're racist that's
why they use her name wrong and then the
number of times that her own supporters
pronounce your name wrong it's getting
hard to
ignore I mean Bruce Springstein on stage
endorsing her doesn't know her name
she's being endorsed by people who don't
know her name like actually don't know
it because when they try to say it
that's not actually her
name the minimum requirement for
endorsing somebody for president of the
United States should be you know their
name just to make us feel like you've
done a little bit of work so let's let's
look at how the two campaigns are doing
let's
see uh today uhe uh ex president Trump
will be in Madison Square Garden going
into the enemy sort of an unfriendly
territory um in the sense that Democrats
usually win New York but Trump has been
in the past highly popular in New York
more popular now than he's ever been
since he's been running for president
he'll probably sell out as well as
having a lot of Street action around it
it's going to be this enormous enormous
event and the visuals are going to be
insane because it'll be such a big event
and so much action so much energy and
let's see what KL Harris is doing uh we
have some video of her at a bar with
Gretchen Whitmer drinking beer and
cackling okay we must we must admit that
Comm Harris's campaign hates her
guts
because if your candidate look like a
drunk and she was a
cackler you would not have her seen in a
bar what ever you did you would keep her
as far away from a drink in as bar as
you possibly could and they put her in a
bar and they put a drink in her
hand oh my
God now I'm not exactly some you know
political expert consultant
but uh am I wrong that that was the
mistake of the
week can we conclude that Trump wins uh
today's competition now I think the bar
was last night in the you know Madison
Square Garden will be today
but that's a bad 24
hours the only thing I
remember is she was drinking and
cackling and that Beyonce came Beyonce
had to be paid a huge amount to Endor
her and didn't sing and made everybody
mad because they thought be was going to
sing and then Michelle Obama shows up
and what was wrong with Michelle
Obama did she have an
allergy did she just get done doing
lines of
coke what was wrong with her there's
something wrong with her but I don't
know what it was I mean it could just be
a health related but she gets up and she
tells women
um to uh she says women have every right
to demand the men in our lives do better
by
us um that's exactly what you didn't
need you didn't really really need
screechy Michelle Obama to be added to
screechy Kamala to be added to screechy
Hillary Clinton to tell us that all the
screechy women think men
suck we get it
we get it you hate our guts we
get it but we have somebody we can vote
for so we can just go our separate ways
so
men the the W the women in the Democrat
Party genuinely don't like you I mean
they really really don't like
you if you don't believe me would you
believe van Jones
because van Jones said uh this yesterday
I
think quote if progressives have uh a
politics that says all white people are
racist all men are toxic and all
billionaires are evil it's kind of hard
to keep them on our side if you're
chasing people out of the party you
can't be mad when they
leave H let me read that again because
he said it so well vanan Jones said this
on see then if progressives have
politics that says all white people are
racist all men are toxic and all
billionaires are evil it's kind of hard
to keep them on your side if you're
chasing away you can't be mad when they
leave you know I feel like they were mad
when I
left
CU I kind of said the same thing when I
got
cancelled I kind of
said that if you're going to say all
white people are racist then I don't
want to have any association with you
and I got cancelled
worldwide interesting
fact in the depth of my
cancellation there were some
people who supported
me some privately some
publicly do you know one of the people
who supported me
privately van Jones
he actually called me and said what the
hell is this all about and then I told
him and he listened you know wished I
had not worded it that way was was not
supportive of my message whatsoever just
just to be clear he was not supportive
of what I
said but he was supportive of
me personally and said in in direct
language I don't think you're
racist but didn't love what I said now
that's all I wanted that's all I wanted
I didn't want him to love what I said
so
um he's a voice of reason listen to him
he he knows that the Democrats are
chasing people like me away and didn't
need to I mean I was basically Democrat
leading all of my adult life I got
chased away I mean I I ran from the
people who said well we don't like you
maybe a little less of you would be
great and I said fine how about less of
me works for me too I reached my
limit so that's why if you if you wonder
why I say good things about van Jones is
because I think he sees the whole
field and uh it's okay to be partisan
partisan is okay you know everybody's
partisan but
uh he can see the whole field
all right and I appreciate him here's
something kim.com posted today about
paying off the national
debt now before I tell you this I should
uh remind you in the most obnoxious way
so you're sick of hearing it I do have a
degree in economics and I have an MBA
from a top
school I should be able to understand
what kim.com says about paying off the
debt I do not
not even close but I want to see if you
do or or at very least can we agree that
nobody has any idea how to pay off the
national debt all right so here's what
kim.com says now and by the way I'm not
saying he's
wrong I I have questions I don't know
would this work I don't see how it would
he goes uh the only way out about the
national debt is to print 40 trillion
settle all debt use gold reserves to get
Americans through
hyperinflation and issue a new digital
currency with limited Supply and no Mass
surveillance abolish the fed and ban all
interest on loans a bit of pain but
problem
solved um
question if you printed 40
trillion uh that would make cash
worthless but you'd use your gold
Reserve to get Americans through that
hyperinflation how do you do that how
would you use your gold
reserves would you do
what uh give everybody a little
gold back the dollar with
gold what does that even mean to use our
gold reserves to get get us through the
hyperinflation and then how would
issuing a new digital currency with
limited Supply help us
because that would in addition to the 40
trillion we would be adding a new form
of money on top of the 40 trillion so
our hyperinflation should go into hypert
turbo extra
hyperinflation wouldn't
it um abolish the fed I'm not sure how
that's
exactly related to all of that um and
then ban all interest on loans
how could you have a functioning economy
if you Bann interest on
loans what's the alternative to that and
again there might be an alternative to
that because remember I'm starting with
the assumption that kim.com is very
smart because you know that's my
impression of him so if he's very smart
and he's saying stuff I don't understand
I don't automatically assume the
problems on his
end so I'm curious enough about it is
there is there enough to what he's
saying that other people are saying yes
yes I know exactly what he
means or is it just several Concepts in
the same place that don't fit
together I don't
know
um I do think the only way we can
survive the national debt is if Elon
Musk can immediately cut spending so
that we get that part under control and
that we we increase our growth rate
beyond anything we've seen before both
are possible and both of them will
require Elon
Musk you're going to need Elon Musk for
all of it because the growth will
require robots and Ai and electric cars
and self-driving cabs and maybe
spaceships so it's kind of on him you
know he's got a lot going on for the
future um so he he would be the one
behind the growth at least a lot of it
and then he would also be the one behind
cutting the
costs uh to me it's
unbelievable that this election is
close now I get how people say oh Trump
Trump trump this but how do they explain
that RFK Jr
musk V you know
tulsy I could go
on how do how do Democrats explain
that they haven't noticed that Trump is
Hitler and that they think he has the
best economic and practical plan for
solving problems how did they explain
that I would just love to spend some
time saying but do you think RFK Jr
couldn't spot
Hitler well no he's got some he's some
interest blah blah blah well okay but
you know Israel likes Trump right
yeah and you know that Israel is really
good as spotting
Hitlers they're really good at
it yeah and you know the Israel likes
Trump so much they named a town after
him uh he's
Hitler okay I don't think you're hearing
what I'm
saying anyway so um
the pretended war between Israel and
Iran has uh gone to its logical
conclusion so Israel instead of uh doing
something that would
increase um the chance of response they
did something that would decrease the
chance of
response now the level of
intelligence that Israel is bringing to
this
fight I I'm getting tired of compliment
ing them you know from the the pager
thing to pretty much everything yeah at
least at least since the poor defense of
the Gaza situation that was
suboptimal but uh the way they've
pressed the war is really
impressive
and so they of course they had to attack
Iran because Iran did the massive 200
missile strike he can't let that
go but they managed to as far as I know
kill zero
people is that right I I think the death
toll was Zero of a fairly
massive completely controlling the
airspace over Iran didn't lose a single
asset um and destroyed all of
practically all of Iran's air
defenses so the first thing Israel did
was show that show Iran and this is the
important part that they could easily
destroy Iran's entire air defense
if you destroy their entire air
defense can Iran win a
war well' be kind of
hard Iran has also demonstrated that
even a massive missile
attack they can basically shoot down
enough that they were largely
unscathed so now now Iran has the
following knowledge that it did not have
before number one if your proxies go
after after us we will not just shoot
back we will destroy the entire country
that they're
in that would be
Gaza
and and if you think hezb is going to be
safe not so much we're going to blow up
every one of their leaders we're going
to keep trimming their leaders for as
long as it takes and we're going to blow
up every military asset that they have
in their country no matter how long it
takes so that's
new so then they prove that Ran's
missiles aren't going to work and then
they prove that Iran has no defense
because they don't have any air defense
Israel took it out in one
day I think that was the big story the
big story is you see we're up here right
we're now above your entire country
there's nothing you can do to shoot us
down do you want to do you want to keep
this
up pretty good
but the the thing that's amazing about
this is the the level
of Civility that got into war right war
is normally more like you know Gaza it's
it's messy and civilians are dying but
somehow two countries made a deal to do
a fake
war and then they fought it and and it
was conclusive because it's telling Iran
okay I guess I'm not going to you know
make this a bigger war and uh some think
that uh maybe Israel reduced their
ability to make more rockets for another
year or
so but here's what it almost feels like
and I always use this yeah it feels like
an old Star Trek episode but here's what
they could have done both sides could
have created a fake army
base and tell the other side it's fake
say hey Iran we're going to build this
army base it's going to be completely
fake the f-35s going to put on it our
cardboard and but we are going to put
our best defense so the missile defense
uh is going to be our best stuff but the
things on the ground are just cardboard
and plastic and you know just looks like
a base we'd like you to build one
too uh what why would we build a fake
base trust us just build a fake base
just like ours but do put your best
defense so make sure that you have real
rocket defenses but the base itself
should be fake why do you want it to be
fake well we don't want to hurt
anybody we we simply need to every now
and then compare our
Technologies so here's what's going to
happen you attack our fake base and
we'll try to shoot down as many your
drones and missiles as we can then we'll
see how you
did okay all right two got through not
much damage what did you learn well we
learned that if this had been a real
base that we also would not have damaged
anything exactly exactly now in a couple
days when we're ready we'll let you know
when but we're going to attack your fake
base and make make sure you got lots of
cardboard planes there because we really
want to make this a good test all right
we have many cardboard planes yeah but
but use real real defense all right your
defense against our military and our our
planes that should be real yes it'll be
totally
real how'd you do oh
we lost 100% of our anti-aircraft
defense okay Iran what have you learned
okay well we learned that when we attack
you we don't really blow up anything you
just blow our our bombs out of the
sky and then what else did you learn
Iran okay we
learned that anytime you want to you can
knock out all of our air defenses and
we're helpless and then you can pick us
all off exactly so what should we do
about
this well same as we were doing before
no
no maybe we should fund
Hezbollah less that's it that's it fund
Hezbollah
less yes do that because if we have to
blow up another one of your fake bases
we'll do it we'll do it oh yeah well if
you blow up another one of our fake
bases we're going to send missiles at
your fake bases that you'll shoot out of
the sky before they even reach the
ground so that's the kind of War I want
I want a war where nobody gets hurt
there wasn't really any chance anybody
would it's all very civilized and when
you're done you've learned something
really important you've learned if you
with Israel they're going to mow
your lawn and you're the lawn on and if
you take it to the next level you're
really really going to be
sorry message
learned and that ladies and
gentlemen is all I had to say today
because uh we're coming into the final
uh final
turn let's see from let's see on Tuesday
it'll be one week from election
day and uh
how do you feel about the
polls so as you expected there will be
enough polls that say it's a tie that
cheating is completely on the
table we do know that there are so many
reports of irregularities I don't know
how many are true and how many are not
that uh there's no way that the public
can trust the outcome of the election
and we know that our politicians uh on
the losing side will tell us that the
election was riged doesn't matter which
side
loses now I did see Bill Maher and I've
seen some other people argue that
January 6 is still the big problem and
you know Trump tried to over turn the
country or take over the country here's
my best short argument for that number
one what day was the peaceful transfer
of power scheduled to take place
um January 20th right is it 20th or 21st
the the actual transfer day give me a
fact check it's like January 20th or
21st I
forget but that's the day of the the
peaceful
transfer was there a peaceful
transfer yes yes there was on the day
that it was
planned what the Democrats keep doing is
conflating January 20th with January 6
January 6 is when our system allows you
to still argue about who
won do you know why they allow you to
argue about who
won because we have courts and we have
free speech if you have free speech and
you have courts all of that time between
election day and January 20 it's fair
game you can protest you can complain
you can demand audits you can uh take
things to court you can fight as hard as
you want to fight you know in the
political sense not the physical sense
and there's nothing wrong with any of
that now did some people take it to
violence yes do both sides wish that
that didn't happen yes were they
representative of the larger amount of
the crowd no not even close less than
one fewer than 1% of the people there
did anything violent so that and and
there's no evidence that that the mass
part of the crowd had any plans to do
anything violent they just didn't like
the election outcome so the first thing
you got to know is that everything Trump
did if he believed the election was
real was very
bad and that's where that's where the
Democrats start they start with the
assumption that Trump knew the election
was lost on his
part that's not just wrong it's stupid
and we've been allowing them to do that
stupid thing for four years and I've not
seen one person say oh hold on you're
starting stupid so we we don't need to
talk about the rest if your base
assumption is that somehow the country
could know if the election was rigged or
not and that somehow you believe that
Trump um is not like half of the country
that believes it was rigged in what way
would you imagine that he doesn't know
or doesn't believe it was rigged when I
believe it was rigged I do half of the
country believes it was rigged I believe
all of our elections have been rigged at
least in my
lifetime and I and I believe that the
way our system is designed it's for the
purpose of
ragging because if you want to do it for
the purpose of keeping it honest it
would look completely different and
everybody knows
that so every time I see somebody get in
a conversation about January 6 they let
the bad guys um make them think past the
sale the sale is what did the protesters
and Trump believe about the election if
they genuinely believed it was rigged
and it was obvious it was rigged
everything they did was
appropriate that's
it and then you say but but violence and
I
say I don't care
because if it was
rigged and 99% of the people were
nonviolent but 1%
were that's just the way the world works
you I'm not in favor of violence I'm
just saying that if you rig an election
right in front of the public expect some
violence expect some violence if you rig
it right in front of the public now I'm
not saying it was rigged because I don't
have you know proof of that I'm saying
that it was designed for the purpose of
rigging and it has every Hallmark of
being rigged and every election I've
been involved with probably was rigged
and if the elections are the only things
that can't be rigged and aren't be
rigged in the United States and every
other institution and major organization
from Health Care to finance to
everything else is so obviously
rigged if you believe this is the one
thing that's not when it is the most
rigal thing that we've ever had in this
country
you're not a smart
player you you're just not putting much
brain power into the into the
conversation so those are the key points
don't let anybody
assume that anybody knew the election
was good because that was just not the
case I I've never talked to anybody that
was involved with a protest who thought
that Trump actually
lost have you have you ever spoken to
one person even one just one because
there were like 20,000 people there it
was a big number just even one person
who said I protested but you know
honestly I thought Trump lost fair and
square even
one if you can't find one person in that
entire
crowd who believed Trump lost why do you
think Trump believed it
of course he thinks he won of course he
does and imagine what he's seen that you
haven't
seen can you imagine how much stuff you
see when you're president whe When you
find out like what the CIA has really
been doing so suppose you knew that your
country had overthrown 80 other
countries I think we did like 80 coup
attempts I don't know how many of the
80s succeeded but let's say 60 and of
the 80s succeeded
if you knew for
sure that we could overthrow countries
and get away with it and not get caught
how would you think it wouldn't happen
in our
country in in in what world would they
not apply the same skills to control
this country and you listen to the
Democrats like K Lis and they'll say it
out loud they'll say out loud that you
know we can't allow the Free Speech if
you can't allow the free speech you also
can't allow free
elections you know that's the same thing
right if if you say that uh as Harris
does that uh Elon mus is a bad person
because he lets people say whatever they
want on social
media if you can't have free speech you
can't have free elections like you
couldn't possibly be in favor of free
elections if the person running isn't
allowed to
talk the the people running should be
allowed to talk and obviously she would
have she would censor them if she said
things that her side said were not true
so K Harris
wants you know like on paper she'd say
yes anybody can run for office but she
would want one of those people to be
uncensored and the other to be censored
because it disagreed with their
party it sounds like I'm making that up
but she says that out loud yeah so what
would would be the point of running for
office if the things you said could be
censored by the other
side she's pretty much telling you she
doesn't want elections or at least not
real ones but maybe that's not so
different than how it's been all right
I'm going to go talk to the uh locals
people privately and if you're on X or
YouTube or Rumble thanks for
joining um I will remind you that on
Monday that would be tomorrow I'll be
appearing on The Young Turks talking to
Jen on Monday I guess the show starts at
800m Eastern
time um so that's 5:00 P PM my
time and uh I think actually you might
be surprised by the outcome of
that um and the prediction is just
because Jen is genuinely
interesting and he's genuinely
Brave and if you put those two together
interesting and
brave and then you throw me into the
mix because I got nothing to lose
um and both of us I think both of us
would want to create something of value
like you know if if we're just yelling
at each other you neither of us is going
to be happy about that so I think I
think there is some chance
will uh you maybe move the needle or at
least be interesting enough that you'll
want to watch it so I recommend it in
advance all right everybody and remember
