View segment →Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
Oh, the best thing I've ever had.
Would you like to hear some optimistic things? All right, we're going to start with some optimistic science and breakthroughs, and we'll get to some optimistic politics, and then we'll get to our optimistic holiday coming up. Everybody good? Lots of optimism.
All right, starting in with a study that shows you—there's a paper written by Brandon Busch, an associate professor of journalism at the University of Florida. He found that the key drivers of loneliness, of course, is not being with people, but that you can solve your loneliness—not completely, but it helps a lot—to have online friends. So if you don't have any online friends and you're lonely, you should try to get some. For example, you could join Coffee with Scott Adams on the Locals platform, scottadams.locals.com, and for a very small subscription fee you could get to hang out with all of us in the man cave pretty much every night after dinner. We just hang out. I didn't start it that way. I started it as just extra content. I didn't know what it was going to be. But it turns out that there are so many lonely people in the world that just knowing that somebody they recognize and likes them and is glad they're there can talk to you almost every day. So if you're in it for reducing your loneliness, you made a good play. It's worth the money.
All right, there's a study from The Conversation that says the future looks bright when you're optimistic. So apparently optimism makes you healthier. Did you know that? Optimism makes you healthier. It does, because if you're optimistic you're more likely to have a better attitude and less stress, and we know that stress causes bad health. And optimists are also more likely to do the things that you're supposed to do to stay healthy. So if you know that eating and exercising and staying away from bad stuff is good for you, the optimist will actually do that stuff. Why? Because they think it'll work. If you think something's going to work, you're far more likely to do it. So optimists live longer.
One of the reasons you watch this show is that I make you more optimistic. I do that intentionally, and it makes you think, wait a minute, maybe I could lose weight, maybe I could exercise more, maybe I could be smarter about my vote. Yes, yes, yes. And I think I added about seven minutes to your life just by that little bit of optimism. Seven minutes. You're welcome.
All right, there's a University College London study. It says that the language used by mothers affects the oxytocin levels in infants. I'm going to give you an example of that, and I'm going to see if you needed the science to tell you that the oxytocin would be better under one scenario than another.
"Oh, what's that you got there, little Bobby? Oh, blocks. Oh, looks like you built a little fort. Is that what you wanted to do? Oh, good job. You built a little fort. Nice. What are you going to do next?"
Okay, that's one way. Now compare this other style of parenting.
"What the hell have you got these blocks all over the floor, you blockhead? Jeez, I'm going to step on one of these and break my ankle. Get out of my sight. You disgust me."
Now, if you compare those two parenting styles, which one do you think is creating a healthier child? That's right. Maybe you could have just asked me and not done that study. I'm pretty sure the oxytocin of your baby is better if you're nice to them and you show interest. Yeah, do that.
According to the Daily Wire, there's a new study that says that life may have existed on Mars because they found some rocks that have all the telltale signs of having been associated with water. So you don't need to know the details, but apparently you can look at a rock and tell if it's been associated with water in the past. And so they think maybe it is. But I have a question: Where does the water go? Is that the dumbest question of the day or the smartest? I actually can't tell. Where does it go? Now, I assume somebody's going to say, like, if the atmosphere can't hold it, you know, if it's not insulated, it'll just go into space. Does water go into space? I mean, how could it escape the gravity of the planet? Even if it turns into vapor, can vapor escape the gravity of the planet? I'm seeing yes. So if we did not have greenhouse gases, does that mean we would lose the water on Earth? It would just— I understand evaporation, but evaporation is still a closed system. It doesn't go anywhere; it just changes its form. But does it really go into space and just keep going? The thing I don't understand is how could it escape gravity. I got questions. I'm not sure that the fast answer is the right answer. And it's funny that I don't know the answer to that. Doesn't that seem like that would be sort of common sense? Like everybody who had a good education should be able to answer the question: If Mars once had water, where'd it go? I should be able to answer that. So I'm a little embarrassed that I can't, but you know, I don't care about embarrassment.
All right. Well, the price of lithium batteries apparently is going to plunge and keep plunging. Doesn't matter why, but probably just supply and demand. But lithium prices will plunge, making electric cars way more competitive with gas engines, because right now if your battery dies in your electric car, that's not such a good economic situation for you. But if the price of the batteries keeps going down, then you could lose your battery and just say, oh well, $5,000 for a new battery. It's way better than a new car. So it would be similar to the price of replacing your engine. So that can change things.
On top of that, there's a company, Radiant, which is looking to mass-produce portable nuclear reactors starting in 2026. So their CEO, Doug Bern, I guess had some experience in the Elon Musk world of engineering, so it's a serious person. And they showed a picture of them. So these one-megawatt nuclear reactors, they look like the size of a bus. So basically one of them would be the size of a bus, and you could put more than one of them next to each other. So you could have one location but you could have a couple of buses parked next to each other and it'd be one megawatt. So you're basically powering a small city. And it looks like the entire process would be easy to just drag one in there and hook it up and turn it on. Do you realize what a big deal that would be if this works? If they could really make mass-produced—see, mass-produced is the key to it all, because mass-produced just tells you it's economical, it's easy, there'll be lots of them. If they can really—so it looks like they've designed it from the ground up with the purpose of being super safe, super cheap, and easy to produce and get approved. What if this works? And OB Bet is not the only company. I mean, rules, Rice's in this space, there'll be others. This is gigantic. It's one of the biggest things in civilization.
Meanwhile, Honda has created some kind of solid-state battery that's going to be 50% smaller, according to New Atlas. So it's not important that Honda has a battery that's way, way better. It's just part of this bigger story that battery technology—this is the reason I give you a battery story almost every day. If you didn't understand that the entire world of battery and electrical storage is so dynamic right now, it almost guarantees epic breakthroughs because it's just lots of good science, lots of prototypes, lots of money, and everybody knows that's where it has to go. I mean, you're going to have to get to the point for sure that we can do electric and store it and store it economically. So everything's heading in the right direction. The free market's doing it.
Elon Musk is saying the F-35, our most expensive fighter jet, is maybe not as smart as having just lots of drones. I think that's right. It does seem to me that a drone air force is both inevitable and would be superior to fighter jets, just because you could cover the sky with drones and probably stop any fighter jet, I would imagine. If you had a whole drone swarm, imagine you could take out a very expensive jet without too much trouble. Now, I suppose there's a height issue. Maybe that might be part of it. But he's probably right that we need to save some money and turn ourselves into a drone force.
Speaking of Elon Musk, Starlink's new system now can connect to your mobile phone with no extra equipment or special app. So I don't know exactly what that means, but I think you can take your regular existing phone and instead of saying I'm using one of the regular phone companies, can you now just select Starlink as your provider or extra provider? Is it in addition to or is it instead of? So I don't know the details of this yet. But imagine having a phone made by Elon Musk that actually had real security so the government couldn't get into it, if that's even possible. Probably not possible. But wow, that's a pretty big deal.
All right, I'm going to make an announcement. Public announcement. Are you ready? Public announcement number one: Do not ever follow my stock advice. I don't give advice. But because I talk about big companies publicly, you know, as part of what I do every day, I feel like it is an obligation to you, my audience, that I tell you if I make any investment change in a company that I talk about. So you already know that I own stock in Tesla. So if you hear me saying good things about Tesla, what you should say is, oh, he probably would have said that even if he didn't own it. Now, the truth is I don't think I would lie to you about a stock I bought. But from your point of view, you should be skeptics, right? You shouldn't assume everything I say is true. I think it is. I have no reason not to tell you the truth. But your view should be other people are always sketchy when it comes to money. Doesn't matter who it is. Just assume all other people are a little sketchy when it comes to your money.
Now I'm going to tell you what change I made, but I'm going to be really serious about this next statement: Don't think it's a good idea for you. Do you all get that? Because what I'm going to tell you was probably the worst investment idea you ever had in your life. I just sold all of my Nvidia stock. I had quite a bit. Now, I'm a recent buyer of it, so I didn't get the 10,000% gain. I got maybe a 75% gain. So 75% in less than a year, and so I sold it.
Now I owe you an explanation, but again, don't take my explanation as being credible or smart. I'm not really good at investing. I'm seriously not good at it. There are things I do that I do well, and I'm happy to tell you what they are. I love to tell you what my good things are. This isn't one of them. And what I mean by that is that there aren't really people who are smart enough to pick individual stocks. You know, if you're going to listen to me, you get an index fund.
All right, so here's my reasoning, but I'm not confident in it whatsoever. My reasoning goes like this: I believe that the market of people who can buy these expensive AI devices will soon be saturated. It's not there yet, so there's still probably plenty of room to grow. So if you held yours, I would say probably smart. But at some point I think there's going to be a competitor, and I don't know that they have the moat that I would look for in a company like this. For example, if somebody comes up with a more clever chip and it's cheaper, the entire Nvidia business model falls apart all at once, because if somebody could do the same thing and cheaper, what do they have? And it does seem to me that there should be the highest level of technical experts who would be trying to compete with Nvidia, because Nvidia became the most expensive company in the world in no time at all. So in theory, if the free market is working, then the smartest people in the world are creating whatever is the next technology that they hope will take over from Nvidia.
I also am worried that companies are going to start announcing in the next year or so that they overspent on AI. And what I mean by that is that they had high hopes for it solving all their problems, but once they got into it and they really got deep into it, all they could do is make apps that they would try to sell to other people to solve their problems, but it doesn't. So AI so far is not a technology that solves problems. It's a technology that people are producing. They're turning it into different apps and products, and they're selling it to you to solve your problem, but it's not solving any of your problems. At some point somebody's going to notice, hey, looks like we spent millions of dollars on this and everything's the same.
Now, there will be special cases where it works perfectly. There'll be special cases where an AI app will just replace some people, save some money, everybody wins, does a better job. But I think they're going to be the exceptions. I think they might be the exceptions. And I think the AI as an interface might become a commodity, and that seems to be the only thing it can do. The only thing AI does consistently is create art, which will have no value. Do you know why the art from AI will have no value? Supply and demand. You're going to have infinite art for no cost. If you already own the app, you can make infinite art. So it's great that AI makes art, but it's going to make art have no value because everybody can make infinite art. Supply and demand. It's obvious. So art will have no value, at least the art that AI can make.
The part where it's really good at talking to you and understanding what you're saying and creating good sentences, that will continue to be useful, but it's going to be a commodity. It'll just be in everything. And I can't believe that that drives Nvidia's profits where they need to be. And then there's the pattern recognition stuff, which might be great, like it can help with a program. But so far—and I don't see this changing, by the way—so far nobody except a trained programmer can use AI to make a program. Am I right? Do you think you, with no training whatsoever and had a program, could go use AI and make yourself an app and put it in the market and it's commercial and everybody buys it? I don't think so. I've never heard of it. I don't think it's happening.
So I think that a lot of the interest in Nvidia is because people are thinking in terms of AGI. But Nvidia is not in the AGI business. I don't know that they will be, because nobody knows how to make AGI. So there's no hardware you can make to make the thing that nobody knows how to make. Now, you can make little chatbot LLMs and stuff, but at the moment they don't really do much. They're just too limited.
The battle between art and science is settled. I didn't know there was a battle. There's talk that SaaS will collapse because companies can just generate it with AI. Again, Owen, that's where common sense takes you. Common sense tells you, hey, this AI stuff can replace all these obvious things that are suboptimal. Except that I don't think you can. We're not seeing it. And the fact that AI still hallucinates, and I don't think that's been solved. How are you going to replace your SaaS with something that hallucinates? Because you'll get answers, but you won't know if they're real. So between hallucinating and the fact that AI doesn't seem to remember you, and there doesn't seem to be a technology where I can have my most personal stuff I wanted to remember to be local and away from the AI company so that they can't get my good stuff—because my perfect situation is I've got an AI and it sits on top of data that only I own, and my AI only goes into it when it needs to, but otherwise it doesn't know anything. It only knows it has access to the database that's not there.
So here's a Warren Buffett reason for selling a stock: If you have a reason for buying a stock, you buy it, and if that reason doesn't change, you hold it. For me, the reason changed because I like monopolies. So Nvidia is basically a monopoly right now, but I don't see the moat. I don't see how they can stay one. So that's why I changed my investment. But remember, I'm terrible at investing. If you follow my lead, you'll probably lose money. Nvidia is already up today, so if you had followed my advice yesterday, you would already have lost money. So say that as clearly as possible.
All right. Alex Jones is saying the Sandy Hook was a Bloomberg op—not the crime itself, but rather the fact that Alex Jones was sued and basically taken down by that lawfare. And he thinks that that was all funded by Bloomberg and that he was behind the whole thing. It looked like it was organic, but it wasn't. It was just to get to Trump. So given that Alex Jones was a strong voice for Trump, it was one way that they could take him out. Now, do you think that's true? This is Alex Jones saying that. This is new information that came out. So I guess the court cases revealed who got funded for what.
Because here's what I've been wondering about Sandy Hook. I understand that the parents would be distraught because somebody in the media said something about their situation. I get that. But why does that let you sue somebody? Where'd that come from? Like, that doesn't sound organic. Take today, for example. Today I'm going to talk a little later about fentanyl and some changes. And when I talk about fentanyl, do you know that almost every time I mention it on X, somebody will come into my feed and tell me that it's my own damn fault that my stepson died from a drug overdose and that he deserved to die. It was weeding out the ones we don't need. And it goes like that.
Now, how's that make me feel? Well, I'm a little tougher than the average public figure, so I just usually block them and say people are terrible. It doesn't bother me a lot. It bothers me a little bit, but not a lot. Now, do I get to sue them? Do I get to sue the people on X who say things that I think are not true? I don't think I should. It just feels like their opinion. So to me it seems like Alex Jones had an opinion which he thought was true. Nobody ever—I don't think anybody ever proved that he thought he was lying. Can you correct me on that? I'll need a fact check on that. There's no evidence produced anywhere that he thought he was wrong, right? Now, I don't think he was right. I don't think there was a fake event. But there's no evidence that he thought he was wrong and he did it anyway. So I never really understood the lawsuit. But now I do. Now I do. It had to be funded by some billionaire who wanted to just take out Alex Jones. And if this is the answer, that it was Mike Bloomberg was the billionaire and he was taking out Alex Jones, I'm not so sure I want to believe this completely. But if it did turn out that Michael Bloomberg is behind that, God, he's a piece of work. If he's really behind this, he's a real piece of work. I actually backed him one time years ago. I thought, well, he looks like he'd be pretty good in national office because he did a good job in New York. But wow, he turned out to be not anything that I thought he was. I'm very disappointed in him.
Rasmussen has a little poll that says that 55% of US voters believe the president should choose cabinet officers he knows he can trust, compared to 39% who think it's better to pick ones with experience. I think the public's getting it right again. The public is doing a hell of a job. Have you noticed that the public is just sort of getting the right answer lately? Yeah, the majority of the public seems to be getting the right answer on all the big questions, and this is new. I don't think they were doing this for the last four years. But yes, if you have cabinet officers that you can't trust, it doesn't matter how experienced they are. In fact, you'd want them to be less experienced, because if you don't trust them, you don't want them to use all their experience against you. So yes, yes, yes. Loyalty and trust has to be higher than experience. It has to be.
Now, if it were not Trump, I might go the other way. But we've seen time and time and time and time and time and time again that people come after Trump in every way they can. So if they stuck any little spy in his campaign, well, it's going to be terrible for him. So yes, loyalty, trust first. And if you have to give up some experience, okay, it's not perfect. But yes, if you give me that choice, I'm going to take trust over experience. Now, you can't pick a total clown. I don't want a clown. But if you tell me that Matt Gaetz couldn't have done the job, you're wrong. He could have. If you think that Pete Hegseth can't do the job, you're wrong. I'm pretty sure he can. Right now I don't know character-wise or anything else about him, but yeah, there are enough permanent people in every organization to get the basic job done. You just need somebody to handle the big ethical questions, basically, and he could do that for sure.
So the O'Keefe Media Group, OMG, got some new corporate guy in the NIH, National Institutes of Health. And let's see, it's Raja something. He's the chief of health data standards with a very longer name. I'll stop there. So he actually said this on undercover video. I probably shouldn't be saying this so loud, that they might have funded a lab in Wuhan, China, and Pfizer and Moderna are getting a bunch of money from all these vaccine mandates. He said to the OMG undercover journalist, I quote, "I don't even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID." They don't. He said we're all going to learn about the dangers of COVID vaccines when it's too late. Yikes. He said the six feet of social distancing was not based on any science. It was completely made up. He thinks that Trump's victory is worse for the National Institutes of Health. It would be better for a Democrat to be in office. He said, quote, "We fly under the radar of really being scrutinized. I don't think I have too much to worry about." And then he says to the undercover journalist who is recording every word on the undercover recording—he realized that if he is being recorded in anything he said, he's in trouble. And so he finishes his sentence with, "That's not recording, right? That's not recording, right?" Oh yeah, it was recording. Got every word. Got every word.
Now, by now I don't think this is much of a scoop to know that people inside these agencies know that they were just making it up and that greater scrutiny is really bad for them. But he's saying it directly: The Democrats won't scrutinize us. That's pretty bad to be out there.
Meanwhile, Walmart, one of the biggest employers in the whole darn country, is going to get rid of its DEI program. And they basically are going to abandon all the woke stuff. They're going to get rid of controversial products for children and just get out of all of it. And this is a big win for Robby Starbuck, who's been the activist who's contacting Walmart specifically and saying, you know, just giving you some warning, you're next, because if you get the Robby Starbuck treatment, a lot of people on the internet are going to say, whoa, whoa, we're going to target you now. What are you doing there, you racist? So Walmart's getting ahead of it. I would say that you—well, I'm going to give the credit here to Robby Starbuck primarily. This is more of the Trump effect, isn't it? This is the Trump effect, because I think if Kamala Harris had won, I don't think Walmart would get rid of DEI. I think they would think, oh damn it, we're going to have some problems with the government if we get rid of it, and we might need the government now and then. Big companies all need the government now and then. So I call this a Trump effect working its way through Robby Starbuck, who's doing an amazing job.
So James Carville is not too happy with Jon Stewart. So I guess Jon Stewart said that the identity politics shouldn't have been the reason that Harris lost, because she was not running on woke identity politics. Does that sound right to you? That Kamala Harris was not running on woke and identity politics? Well, your common sense might say, well, that's crazy. That's everything she was doing. But I think Jon Stewart would say if you actually listened to her, you know what she said during the campaign. She seemed to have walked away from it because it was sort of a losing proposition. But still, she embodied it from top to bottom. Not only was she an identity pick—the most clearly, obviously, nobody's trying to hide it identity pick. Her boss said, I'm picking her because she's a Black woman. Identity pick. And then when there could have been some kind of a process to see if she was the best pick, they got rid of the process to keep the identity pick. And then we assumed that the companies would have to keep with DEI if she had been elected.
But James Carville is not taking any of that. And he said, quote, Bill Maher—he said Jon Stewart says it couldn't have hurt because no Democrat ran on it. In order to escape any responsibility, they said that stuff was never used in 2024. And James Carville says you're wrong. It was used in politics. If you have a bad policy, you may throw it away, but the other side gets to play. That's right. So it didn't matter that she tried to run away from it in the last closing hours of the campaign. It only mattered that the Republicans were going to make hay with it, and they did. You know, the trans-related commercials especially were called out. So it didn't matter what Harris did. The Democrats had spent years creating this environment, which the Republicans had every right to say there's too much of this and you're going to get more of it if you elect a Democrat. So yeah, you can't run away from the house you built. It's like she built a house and then she lived inside it and said, I'm not building a house right now. But you're living inside the house. I know, but I built it earlier. But you built it. But I'm not building it right now. I haven't even mentioned it in two weeks. So yes, if you build the house and you live in it, the Republicans are going to notice, and James Carville is going to notice that the Republicans noticed. He's not a happy guy anyway.
And according to the Vigilant Fox, they had some NewsNation show. So Cuomo had one of the biggest donors for the Democrats, this guy named John Morgan. He's called a mega-donor. And he thinks that Kamala Harris's political life is over because she misused the money that she got. She spent it so recklessly. They wasted money on ads in Florida. So she was running ads in places that she couldn't win. Interestingly, Trump also spent campaign money in states he couldn't win. So I'm not sure this donor is on the right page, because the reason Trump did it, I think, is that he thought he had a good chance based on internal polling of winning the Electoral College, but his mandate would only be useful if he also won the popular vote. So you go to states like New York and California he couldn't possibly win. But if he could gather up some votes from people who had a low propensity to vote, maybe he'd get the popular vote. And he did. So why would Trump's strategy that worked not work for Harris if she advertised in Florida because she just wanted to boost her total numbers? I think we have to figure out who are the smart people here, because the mega-donor sounds like he doesn't understand how the campaign works. Now, I'm not defending Harris. I'm just saying that you can't have an article that says going to the states you're going to lose is brilliant if you're Trump, but going to the states you're going to lose is a bad idea if you're Kamala Harris. Because that's what's out there. Like, it can't be both a good idea and a bad idea at the same time. So I don't know. Maybe the argument is that her internal polls showed she wasn't going to win the swing states, so don't work on the popular vote if you're not even going to win the swing states. But we don't know what her internal polls said, and neither does he. So I don't know.
Meanwhile, California—it turns out it's a California story. Do you think it's going to be positive? It's like California just tries to come up with what's the dumbest thing we can do to show that we're not even serious about fixing anything. So they've dropped the EV incentive. There was some tax incentive for building EVs in California. But did you know there's only one company that builds an EV in California? It's called Tesla. Yeah, it's just an anti-Tesla law. Why would a state just come up with an anti-Tesla law just because Musk is working productively with Trump now? I tell you, there it feels like there's not anything that California does that isn't just absolutely up. Like, we need to get rid of our leadership so much. I mean, it's just so bad. It's embarrassing. I don't get embarrassed, but if I did, this would do it.
Anyway, it looks like Trump will have persevered through all of his lawfare, as he likes to say. He's persevered. And if you don't know, let's see, Jack Smith is dropping all of his claims. And I guess that keeps them alive should they want to re-up them after he gets out of office, which is a messed-up thing to do. If you're going to drop them and he's a certain age, you should drop them in a way that they're not coming back. So kind of messed up that they'd keep that risk over his head. But the stuff that got dropped is the 2020 election interference and the classified documents case. So Trump still has the 34 felonies or whatever they are for his New York City lawfare trial where the bank made him a good loan and got paid back and they were happy. So he's a felon because he did what everybody does when they get a loan with property. He overstated the value of the property, knowing that the lender would check it on their own. And the only thing that mattered is what the lender checked anyway. So I'd love to get for him to get rid of these 34 felonies just so people don't have to say it anymore.
The rumor is that Kash Patel will be named FBI director. Post Millennial is talking about this. It's still in the rumor phase unless it happened this morning, I guess. What do you think of that? Is that going to happen? Now, I don't know a ton about Kash Patel. I only know this: Trump never leaves cash on the table. Boom. I've been telling you that for years. He never leaves cash on the table. He always picks it up. And here we are with Kash Patel. So if I judge from just the videos I've seen of his ability to talk in public and answer the right questions and have the right opinions and see things through the right frame, seem strong. So my first impression is strong.
According to the National Pulse, recruitment in the military is sharply up, and they think it's because Pete Hegseth got nominated. And apparently if you're the anti-DEI person, people want to get into the military again. And if you're the anti-war person— that's too strong, but it's part of the Trump world is anti-war, let's say. So if you think there's fewer chances you'll be killed and more chances you'll be promoted and fewer chances you'll be treated like garbage for some DEI reason, I would say that would make sense that people would be signing up to be in the military. Makes sense.
Meanwhile, here's more maybe Trump effect. The IDF is looking to wrap up their military missions in Lebanon, and they want to get everything wrapped up in the next 60 days, because after that Trump's going to be in office and he's going to wrap it up for them. So there's the Trump effect. So the Trump effect seems to have increased people joining the military, and it seems to have simultaneously decreased the odds that there will be a world war once he's in charge. So that's pretty good.
Meanwhile, here's more Trump effect. The Haitians that were very numerous in Springfield and caused the meme about eating the cats and dogs—which, as far as I know, is not based on any serious reality—but apparently a lot of the Haitians that were in Springfield are self-deporting because they think that Trump's election would put them in jeopardy if they stay there. And maybe they're right. So you've got Ukraine and Russia waiting for Trump, obviously. You've got Israel waiting for Trump, obviously. You've got the Haitians waiting for Trump, obviously. And they're all correcting. And then you see people joining the military because of Trump. Stock market is up because Trump's coming. Do you notice the pattern? It's almost everything is better. Almost everything.
And to me the funniest reason that the Democrats can't figure out what they did wrong is that it was everything from top to bottom. There wasn't a single thing. If you just go head-to-head, what did Trump's campaign do and what did Kamala's campaign do head-to-head? Trump was extraordinary on every dimension except one, which was raising the most money. Kamala failed. So she raised the most money, but apparently she used it so poorly that it ruined her future in politics. So the raising the money, you don't get credit for if you wasted it and it destroyed your hope of ever being in politics again. So that's again: Trump raised less money and underspent it and won a landslide. Who handles money better? Duh, right? So on every single dimension—from communication to policies to strategies to money used productively—Trump everything, every single thing. And you know, even if you look at the media, even though the so-called mainstream media was strongly in favor of Harris, they themselves did such a bad job that people lost trust in the media and the candidate. So I've never seen anything like it. The media became essentially part of the campaign. So when the campaign lost, the media lost the same amount. Their traffic just went through the floor. It's because the public saw them as just the campaign. We don't need the Harris campaign anymore. That's what you were, so don't need to watch you anymore.
Well, according to a Gallup survey, 86% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they're optimistic because of Trump's election. 86% of people who lean right are optimistic. But how about the people who lost? 76% of Democrats said they were afraid as a reaction to the election. They feel angry and devastated. Do you remember the story I told you earlier in the livestream here that people who are optimistic live longer and they're more successful, they're healthier? I can actually feel this. Like the level of optimism that I've seen and also experienced and other people that I interact with is so high that I would be amazed if it's not good for our health. I feel like my health was suppressed for four years, and now suddenly I just feel great when I wake up every morning. I wake up feeling great, and I don't think that was the same. It just feels different. So I guess I feel bad for the Democrats because they're affecting their own health at this point.
Apparently Don Jr. is making some provocative news. He's suggesting that the White House is considering, instead of doing the press releases where you've got all the mainstream media asking stupid questions that nobody cares about and not getting answered, that they might replace at least some of the press room with independents. And they use Joe Rogan as an example. Blaze Media is writing about this, by the way. And Don Jr. seems to be confirming that this is at least a serious discussion now. My idea was to have a rotating press secretary. This is better. You remember I told you that sometimes brainstorming is about the bad idea because the bad idea might make you think of the good one. Here I can see that mine was the bad one. So the bad idea was to get the celebrity, if you will, to just do the job of standing in front and trying to represent the president. But since the celebrity would not be as informed and maybe they wouldn't take that seriously and maybe it would look too much like a joke and people would say get back to being serious. So that was my idea, and it has some warts on it. But it would possibly make you think of the idea, well, wait, instead of changing the press secretary, why don't we change the people asking the questions? Oh, now we're good. That's way better than my idea. It's way better. Now, I'm not saying that my idea led to that idea, but I'm just saying it could have. Like in the real world, that's a normal way things could happen. So that's why the bad idea is such a good idea, because it leads to good ideas.
So I'd love to see this. Now, I don't think they need to get rid of all the major media, but if you stuck in some independents and actually got them to ask some questions, I would love that. Because my biggest thing with the press conferences is they don't always ask the right questions, but you put the independents in there and they will. So love that.
All right, here's a story that's sort of close to my heart. As you know, my stepson died of a fentanyl overdose in 2018, and I have been very vocal about what we should do about it and very anti-China and anti-Mexico, etc. And during Trump's first term I had great optimism that he would make something happen in that domain. He did not. He did not. And it's one of my biggest disappointments. Now, later my take on it was there wasn't anything you could do, because unless you're going to attack China, they just will keep doing what they're doing, sending their precursors to Mexico. And unless you militarily attacked Mexico, the cartels will just keep doing what they're doing, and they're all making money. So if they're all making money and the only thing you could do is threaten to attack them, then you've done nothing.
Turns out Trump doesn't like to lose, and he definitely lost on fentanyl. And they definitely made him look like a chump. Let me say that directly. China made Trump look like a chump by promising to do it and doing nothing, nothing to stop fentanyl. And Mexico has a little explaining to do too. I mean, the cartels are the primary pushers of it. So apparently he's decided that that's not going to go down this way this time. So here are the things he's announced so far. Trump is going to put a big tariff on both Canada and Mexico because they're not doing enough to control their borders, partly because of fentanyl. So he's just basically going to take trade out of it.
Now hold on, hold on. I'm waiting for the NPCs to rush into the comments and say, Scott, Scott, don't you understand how tariffs work? Don't you understand that tariffs are paid by the American company that wants to buy it? Why do you not understand how tariffs work? You can't threaten Canada because it's really just coming out of the pockets of the American companies. Okay, you're totally wrong. If you did one tariff that affected one American company, yeah, it would just be coming out of the American company's pocket. If you do a broad tariff about all their goods, you're going to start finding that the market starts to adjust to that. So what you're playing for is the market adjustment. So suddenly somebody in America who didn't think they could compete might say, wait a minute, if I make it here, it's going to be 20% cheaper than Canada. Oh wow, it's a new market. So the long game is that Trump is telling you, you know, your car market, we're going to put you out of business. The whole industry, we're just going to take it out if you don't cooperate. Same with Canada. You like selling your—I don't know what they sell, milk and butter or whatever. Do you like that arrangement where we buy your farm goods? Okay, in nine months we're not going to buy any of your farm goods because they'll be priced out of consideration.
So is it true that Canada is not the one paying for the tariffs? Yes, the American company that wanted to import it or the customer basically pays for it. But the reason you do the tariff is so people will stop buying it and they'll look for another source. So in the short run, is it just a tax on consumers and is it just a cause of inflation? Yes, we all understand that. Are we on the same page now? Are the NPCs happy that everybody understands that in the short run the American company pays for it? So you're not charging China or Canada or Mexico. However, if you commit to that being your long-term situation, you take the entire market away from those countries, and they're not going to put up with that because they need to sell cars and they need to sell. So it's a negotiating tool, and it's a good one.
So he's basically told Canada and Mexico, you're our most important trading partners, but it's not going to stay that way because you're not doing the basics. You're not controlling the border and you're not controlling the cartels. You're not doing the basics. So if you want to be our long-term trading partner, we're going to change that. Long term, every one of you, long term, you're all dead, and we don't even need to do a thing for you. So you need to do this now.
Here's what I've said. I've said this about China and fentanyl: that we should close our embassies. If China, if you promise you're going to stop the fentanyl precursor trade and you don't do a thing, we should withdraw our embassy and say, look, this is the price of talking. You do this first because this is not negotiable. They're acting like it's negotiable. No, killing 50,000 Americans a year is not negotiable. You got to do that before we have anything to do with you. Now, of course we have so much business with them that you can't do it quickly. But if you start giving them a general 20% tariff, they're going to get the idea that in the long run you're—because you can't do this. It's the opening. It's basically the ticket to the show. Get rid of fentanyl and you can be in the show. If you don't get rid of fentanyl, we will squeeze you until there's nothing left, because you got to start there first. That's what I think Trump's doing.
So he makes a phone call to the new president of Mexico, and suddenly the Gallo cartel is killing fentanyl makers themselves. And he's saying he's going to. So even the cartels are trying to get out of the business faster than the government wants them to, I think. And Trump basically says he's going to release US knowledge about the Mexican government being owned by the cartels unless they do what he says, to which I say yes. Now that's a serious play. Please stop sending fentanyl. That's not serious. But we're going to take you out. That's serious. He's basically threatening the government of Mexico that he's going to take them out of power, because that's what would happen if he released the information about the cartels. Now that's serious. And then he says he's also going to send special forces down to basically just kill all the cartel assets and put them out of business. Now, will he? I don't know. He will if he needs to. So I'll say that if he needs to, yes, he will. 100% chance. You know, there's some things I say that Trump won't do, like deporting 20 million people. I don't think he's going to do that. But would he use the special forces if they ignore him again? I think he would take out the government and then he'd send in the special forces and just mow them down, because I think he's in his second term and he's done. I think this is the most humiliating thing that ever happened to him in office. I think China and Mexico humiliated him by ignoring him basically. And now he's going to say you can do what you want, but I'll tell you what you're not going to do is enjoy it. Do whatever you want. You're not going to enjoy it, and you're really going to be wishing you hadn't done it. So that's the current situation. That's the Trump effect. So China would get an extra 10% on top of the tariffs that he wants to give them for other stuff if fentanyl is still shipped to Mexico.
All right. Now I watched a video that Patrick Bet-David had in which he was talking to an author of a book which describes allegedly her group as a sex spy in an elite satanic pedo ring. Now, if this is the first you've heard of this elite satanic pedophile ring running the world, your reaction should be the same as mine. That's probably not true. I mean, there's probably not this— this is where I've been for most of my life. I don't think there's an elite pedophile ring running the world. There certainly are elite pedophiles. That's definitely true, because you have pedophiles in every domain, so some of them are going to be elite. But I didn't think they were organized, and I didn't think they actually ran the world. I just thought, oh well, some rich people doing some heinous crimes. That's not a big surprise. But are they organized and actually running the world?
Well, if you've seen the video—and I recommend it. You can find it pretty easy. Patrick Bet-David, the PBD broadcast, and it just happened, so you can find it pretty easily. I want you to look at it, but I want you to do the following experiment: Turn on your BS indicators to maximum and then watch that whole thing and see if your BS meter gets tripped. Because mine was edged like crazy, but it didn't trip, you know what I mean? Like my BS meter was going and it was ready to go into the red where I was ready to say, all right, none of this is true, this can't be true. And then it was over. It never went into the red. It had all kinds of signals. All kinds of signals that I was like, I don't know, I'm not so sure I believe that. Never got into the red. I sure expected it to. So take this as a lesson. I'm trying to determine BS. I'm going to tell you what was starting to trigger me, and then I'll tell you why it didn't.
All right, the first trigger is it's too extraordinary and too on the nose, because it just sounds like an InfoWars episode. Just too on the nose. We keep hearing about the elite satanic pedophile rings. So the first thing against it is too on the nose. It would be a good way to sell a book. The next thing is the documentary effect. This one's important. I talk about this a lot. If you see a documentary that makes one claim and never shows you the other side or you don't even know if there is another side, it will be persuasive almost every time, because otherwise you wouldn't even see it. They're going to make the thing, and if it's not persuasive they won't put it out there. And if they do put it out there and it gets any attention, it's because it's persuasive. So yeah. And I always use the Michael Jackson documentaries as my example. There's a documentary that says, oh, Michael Jackson definitely did terrible things with children. Then there's another documentary that says this is obviously all made up and here's the reasons that it's all made up. They are both 100% convincing, and they can't both be true. It can't be true that it happened and true that it didn't happen, but they are 100% convincing. You have to go through this experiment or you won't understand the world. If you don't watch both of them, it should be easy to find them. You just Google the two Michael Jackson documentaries. That's the way documentaries work. I still love documentaries, but to imagine that you're hearing the truth, that's probably the rarest thing. Probably a documentary is always spun in one direction or another.
So you've got the too on the nose, and then you've got the documentary effect, which you shouldn't trust in general. And then there's one person talking, and I'm not hearing from anybody else. But she referenced a knowledge of a wide number of other victims that were victimized exactly the way she was, but we didn't hear from them. So again, that's another red flag. If even one other person had said, yes, here's the video. I made everything she says is true. I was there at the same time, etc. I don't know. Then there was the names that she mentioned. So she acted like it was not her intention to name names, but PBD got her to do it pretty easily. The first name she mentioned was—and again, so that I don't get sued, I'm not accepting that this is true. I'm not accepting that it's false. I'm saying I can't tell. So none of these are my claims, and I don't want to be responsible for them. But her claim is that when she was six years old she was basically sold to David Rockefeller, and from like the age of six to nine she was brainwashed and trained to be a sex slave at that age, actual sex slave at that age. And they were trying to make her—he was trying to make her a celebrity in France so that she would be sort of a manufactured singer celebrity, because apparently he thought he had the clout to do that. And that she would then therefore get into sexual trysts with famous people because she would be famous, and then politicians, etc. And then he and his pedophile network allegedly would be able to control the world by having the right kind of blackmail assets in place.
Now that's the sort of story that, you know, PBD did a great job, I thought, asking enough details. So if she couldn't give you any details, you'd say, hey, why aren't you giving me more details? One of the questions was she said that she didn't know that that was David Rockefeller until he died, which was well after she was a child. So her claim is that she spent years going from house to house in David Rockefeller's care. He basically was like a guardian or something for a while. And that she never heard the name Rockefeller. She only called him David, and it never occurred to her who he was. Now PBD showed some skepticism as in, really? I mean, nobody else mentioned the name at all? Like that doesn't sound credible. She somewhat angrily pushed back that she was a child and that of course she knew who the Rockefellers were when she became an adult, but it never connected to her that the guy named David was a Rockefeller until he died and she saw his picture. It was like, holy hell, that was a Rockefeller. Does that sound real? That one's hard to believe, right? That's hard to believe. But is it impossible to believe? It's not impossible. It's hard to believe. So I would say that's one little check in the box that says, hmm, it's too on the nose. I don't hear another witness. Now it's starting to be a little shaky, right?
And then PBD asked another great question. He said, how in the world could you at the age of nine or whatever be hanging around with this adult and nobody asked any questions and it wasn't obvious what your role was? And she said yes, there were two of the servants in one of the houses who were fully aware of what was going on, she assumed. And so PBD asks, like, why did you think they knew what was going on? And she looks at him and she says, they saw us in bed. And that just killed me. Apparently they were servants, the kind who would bring you something while you were still in bed. And her claim was that they would come in and do their work and they were very nice to her, but that she would be in with him and it would be obvious why she was in bed. And apparently they had been well vetted or well paid, and they just rolled with it. Do you believe that? Do you believe that two servants could be co-opted to keep their mouth shut about that, coming into his room and seeing him in bed with a nine-year-old? Does that sound true? It does, because you can get people to do anything. Yeah, unfortunately that's not much of a hit on the credibility at all, because if any of this exists, if any of it's real, it requires lots of people to do things that unfortunately people do.
Now her take was that this is definitely satanic, that the whole thing has a satanic structure to it. But then not all the people involved were satanic believers. So some of them literally were doing performances to sell their soul to Satan. Others were just sort of going along with the Satan thing because they were just pedos. Now that part sounded real, because there's a nuance there. It's like, yeah, no, they weren't all Satanists, but they were willing to act like it if it helped them. So I thought, hmm, that does sound real. The story where she said that they saw her in bed, that sounded real to me because that was a detail. And if she were lying, it would have been smarter to say something like, oh, we made sure that nothing happened in front of anybody. That would be like a normal lie. But to say that no, they came in and saw us in bed, that's a detail and it doesn't sound like one you made up.
Now here's the big one. She also named a couple other people. Now, because it's already a public thing, I'll mention them. She accused Justin Trudeau's father, who was the boss in Canada at the time, of using her services as a pedo, but that his specific preference was actually murdering children. So that she couldn't satisfy him because she wasn't there to be murdered. That's a hell of a claim. So I'm not going to give you my opinion whether that's true or not. That's one person's claim. She claims that Rockefeller had to take her to meet with a Rothschild to ask permission for his plan to groom her into a super sex spy. And she said that the Rothschild guy, whoever it was, was not a pedo, but he was definitely somehow in charge of the world. So he was the one who had to tell Rockefeller that he could do his plan. But how did she know that that guy was not a pedo? Well, maybe he just didn't express it in her case. I don't know.
Then the part that bothers me the most in terms of the credibility is that she talked about recovered memories a lot. As in, I didn't remember this but then I remembered it. I didn't remember it, then it came back. That is the biggest tell for hypnosis and fake memory. Generally speaking, I would not take anybody serious who said they had a recovered memory, because recovered memories aren't real for the most part. So there's a fine line between, oh, suddenly I got a recovered memory that somebody did something bad to me. Those are usually not real. But if your regular memory captured most of it but maybe you suddenly remember some details, maybe. But the all the recovered memories, the ones that came to her later, that is a gigantic signal for not being true. It's not a signal that she's lying, because she did not put off a tell of lying. She looks like she believes what she's saying. But there could be two explanations. One is false memory, which is very common, by the way. And the other is that it's real and she just—some things were so terrible that she forgot them until it came back.
Now I'll tell you the scariest part. The scariest part, believe it or not, there's something worse. The scariest part is that she said she was given some German guy in Germany and stayed there to be brainwashed. And that the way she was brainwashed is that he would choke her to unconsciousness and say, look at this face, so that she would associate his face with being choked to death. And that was just one of the things he did. So apparently torturing her so they would give her a test of seeing if they could recognize somebody's sexual preference by looking at their face, which is of course something a human can't do with regularity. Maybe you can get some of it some of the time. So it looked like it was a test that was set up to make sure that she couldn't do well on it. And then the reason for that is that they could choke her or torture her and then associate themselves as the torturers. Now the reason for that was that she would be frightened to death of these people, because if you do it when she's young—this is what they call the Indian elephant training trick. Yeah, if you've ever seen an Indian elephant trainer, you'll see him sometimes with a big stick and he'll be whaling on the elephant, and the elephant will just be like, oh, sorry, I didn't mean that. Okay, okay. And you say to yourself, wait a minute, that elephant could just grab that little guy and just pound him into the dust if he wanted to. Why doesn't he? And the answer is that the little guy trained the elephant when it was a baby. So he beat the elephant when it was a baby, and then the elephant grew up and didn't realize that it had power over the little guy. It just thought the little guy still could beat it up. So they basically used the Indian elephant trick on a child to hurt her, she claimed, and associate that hurt with not getting things right for them. So it just became like programming.
Now here's the problem with that. If she were not an expert in persuasion, she would not be able to explain so well the most effective and dark form of persuasion you'll ever hear in your life. So everything she said about how that works tracks. It doesn't mean it happened. I can't say that happened or didn't happen. I don't know. But it all fit together, and that would have been really hard to do for somebody who hadn't been through it. They wouldn't even know how. If I had asked you, hey, just describe how to brainwash somebody to become a sex slave, and then I said, how do you do that? How many of you would come up with choking them to unconsciousness while giving them a test that you knew they were going to get a lot of wrong answers to? Who would have come up with that? Right, that'd be hard to come up with that if you were just using your common sense. She seems like she knew about something like having been there.
And so I'll reiterate, I couldn't tell if it was real. It's certainly in the category of things that could be completely made up because she's making money for a book. She had a mother that apparently had severe mental illness. Could be genetic, but it could have been something that just messed her up by the things that happened in her life. Probably she was sexually trafficked, probably. But maybe she added things to the story. That's what the memory stuff would be. It would be there was something bad, no doubt about it, but maybe the story got bigger because she was a child. Children can imagine things in detail and then think that they were true all their life and never experienced them. So I don't know. I'm solidly right on the fine line between this is real and this is not real. I can't tell. So I give this just as an example of what to look for. This is a rare case where if you look for everything and you can even identify the things you should have found, you still can't tell. So this one really has me. My brain is scrambled on this one. I'm usually confident. I'm not right 100% of the time, but I'm usually confident in a case like this. If somebody was lying like that, I could tell if they're lying. I can't tell. This one's a puzzler.
Well, there's another study that says that according to some NC study, they looked at trainings from people like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, who were part of that woke white people are bad part of the world. And they wanted to see if anti-racism training made people more anti-racist. What do you think happened? Scott's rich guy fetish is annoying. Well, am I supposed to talk about people who didn't do anything? So I'm pretty sure that the guy who's doing DOGE is more interesting than your gardener. Your gardener is a fine guy, and I have nothing against your gardener. But if you think I'm going to do the show and talk about your gardener instead of interesting people who are doing massively important things to the world, well, you're an idiot. So go troll somebody else.
Anyway, they found that the anti-racism training, surprise, made people more racist. Do you know how they could have saved some money on this study? Yes, they could have just asked me. How would I have known that anti-racism study would make people more racist? Same way you did. It's the most obvious thing in the world. If you make somebody think of things in a certain frame, they will think of things in a certain frame. If you tell people, well, your environment is full of racism, look, there's some, there's some, let's talk about some tonight, let's talk about some at your job, let's talk about it when you go home, let's talk about it. If you fill your head with the idea that racism is everywhere and it's coming to get you, what are you going to see in the real world? Racism everywhere coming to get you. You didn't have to do a study. Of course it made things worse. Of course it did. And it's also the opposite of positive, optimistic. Oh, your systemic racism can never be fixed. All white people are racists. What could you do? So no, it was obvious that the more you make people think about racism, the more racist they'll be.
Which brings us back to the wisest thing that— what's his name, actor who plays God? Who's the actor with the—who's the Black actor who's about 85 now and he always plays God? What the hell is his name? You know who I'm talking about. There's a little lag in the comments, so you'll tell me in a second. I'll tell you what he said, and then you'll remember who it is. Morgan Freeman. Thank you. Thank you. So Morgan Freeman was asked, maybe it was on 60 Minutes many years ago, what do you do about racism? Like, how do you address it? And he says, stop talking about it. Just stop talking about it. Just let everybody be people. And the first time you hear that you say to yourself, well, that's an easy thing for an actor to say who hasn't really—he hasn't put in the work, you know, he hasn't researched the literature. That's easy for you to say. Just stop talking. Oh, you've already made your money. Oh great, you've made your money so you don't have to worry about it. But the rest of us should just stop talking about it, right? Just stop talking about it.
Well, turns out he was exactly right. The talking about it is what makes it a problem. I do believe that systemic racism is real. Of course it is. Of course it is. But I also believe that if you act like it's real, you're going to see it. If you act like it's not real or that it's not going to stop you if it is real, you'll do fine. It's the thinking it's real that is the problem. It's not even the racism. Because if you acted like you didn't even know it existed, you'd end up like Zuby. He's got a great life. Zuby just pretends it doesn't exist, and for him it doesn't. If you've watched him, all of his interactions, you know what kind of people are drawn to him. It's not like 100% Black people. It's just a full complement of just people. And why is that? Because he is very consistent in saying that he's not being discriminated against. But is he? I don't know. Maybe in some small way that I'm not aware of. But if you act like you're not, you're not. That will be your reality, even if technically speaking you are being systemically somehow damaged. Just act like you're not, and that's how you get past it. So you could have asked me about that one.
All right. I saw a hypothesis, and this was on the X account Foundation Father, Foundation Dads. That's the account. And he's talking about an Oxford anthropologist who has this name JD Unwin. Oh, what a terrible last name. His last name is spelled U-N-W-I-N. So instead of being a winner, it's JD Unwin. Oh, that's so sad. Terrible last name. Anyway, he's smart, and he's studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why they collapsed. And he says that within three generations of sexual debauchery, your civilization will collapse. So we've got like maybe half a generation left, because we're already in this sexual debauchery. Now, the way he defines it is if your country values virginity until marriage and then values staying together after marriage even if it's not easy, then your society will thrive. And that would be the United States in the 50s, you know, pretty much that model. But he says that once people say I don't need to get married or to be a virgin, I want to just go have some fun, then what happens then is you basically fall apart. And that's where America is right now.
Now here's my take on that, because you need some optimism. Today's optimism day. That pattern is very clear, but we don't know what is cause and what is effect. Is bad management of the government the reason that families fall apart and therefore there's more sexual perversions or whatever? I sure don't think they got this cause and effect right. See, if the government did not make it easier to get divorced, wouldn't people stay together unhappily but they stay together? If the government did not have a way to keep you alive unless you got married, doesn't that create more single people? So I'm not sure it's the people change and then that collapses the government. It seems to me that the government changes and says yeah, go do your thing. And then when you go do your thing, everything falls apart because you can't replace people. And you know, if the family unit falls apart, you get more bad children out of that who do bad things.
So here's the good news. I think that the United States in the current time has the ability to do something like DOGE and something like electing President Trump and something like sending reusable rockets into space. We are sort of in a place where the things that never worked before could be made to work. That doesn't mean it will be. So I'd keep an eye on this. You know, virginity, marriage thing is probably important, but we do have the ability to say how about you add a robot? How about nobody gets a financial benefit from getting a divorce? How about the children who have the most likely chance of contributing get raised by a group of people plus their parents so that you would never let anybody just have bad parents? If they had bad parents, you'd say, wait, you've got a good kid that seems to have potential, but I've got one bad parent or two bad parents, so we're going to layer on top of that a lot of contact with some high-functioning successful people so that that kid can get some good advice too. So you could imagine—and I'm not saying I've got the right ideas for it—but you could imagine that we're smart enough and we have enough different kinds of options and resources that we could find a way around it in a way that no society had ever done in the history of humanity. Because we've done that a bunch of times, right? By now we should have run out of oil, but we figured it out. By now we should have run out of food, but we figured out how to make fertilizer and GMOs and stuff. So we may be at a point where we can engineer our way out of things that would have destroyed any prior civilization.
And I say that also because of communication today. There aren't that many cities that are major cities that just disappear, because those major cities have communication with all the other cities in the world. So if their prices of real estate goes down enough, then people who communicate with them around the world say, wait, what's the house cost in Detroit? Really, $25,000 and I could have my own house? It's a lot of crime. You say, well, it's still worth it for that cheap house. So as long as you have communication and a free market, most cities can decline, but then they'll decline to the point where they're a good value, and then there's a chance they can come back. Now that would never be the case in the ancient world. If you started losing your food source, well, you're screwed. What are you going to do about it? Ship more food in from China? Nobody's shipping any food anywhere, so you're just going to die. Or let's say the Mongols come in and they want to burn your city and destroy it. Well, we're watching that. Gaza is being completely destroyed, but it's still going to be there in 20 years probably, because when the war winds down, it's probably a place that they're going to rebuild. And probably most of the same people will be there. So I don't know if the situation exists where entire cities or civilizations can disappear. I think they'll morph, but they're more likely to find a solution to whatever their biggest problem is than any time in history.
The seed of Satan down below. Didn't see that.
All right. So as far as I can tell, everything's going our way. It's hard to see the exceptions to that. And that's all I got for you today. Everything's going your way. I think the economy is going to do better. I think the government debt is going to get under control. I think robots are coming. It's all looking good.
All right, I'm going to go talk to the Locals people privately for a little minute. They get some special time. And thanks for joining on YouTube and Rumble and X. Here I come, Locals.
we'd like to see that let me get my comments going here and then we're going to have the show of shows yes I am wearing the official coffee with Scott Adams beanie and the official coffee with Scott Adams t-shirt also comes with the hoodie if you're wondering where you could get yours just Google coffee with Scott Adams merchandise it'll pop right up I think you can see the link in my uh X bio as well or no you can see the link on uh the Youtube things just just Google it coffee was got Adams merchandise it'll pop right up good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels and nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a copper muger glass a tanker gel suin canteen suer flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure dopamine end of the day thing that makes everything better it's called yes the simultaneous step and it happens now go oh the best thing I've ever had well would you like to hear some optimistic things all right we're going to start with some optimistic science and breakthroughs and we'll get to some optimistic politics and then we'll get to our optimistic holiday coming up everybody good lots of optimism all right starting in with uh turns out that there's a study that shows you uh there's a paper written by Brandon bushelon he's an associate professor of Journalism at the UFA he found that the uh key drivers of loneliness of course is not being with people but that you can solve your loneliness not completely but it helps a lot to have online friends so if you don't have any on online friends and you're lonely you should try to get some for example you could join coffee with Scott Adams on the locals platform Scott adams.
locals.com and for a very small subscription fee you could get to hang out with all of us in the band cave pretty much every night after dinner and we just hang out and the you know I didn't start it that way I started as you know just extra content I didn't know what it was going going to be but it turns out that there are so many lonely people in the world that just knowing that somebody they recognize and likes them and is glad they're there can talk to you almost every day so uh if you're if you're in it for the uh reducing your loneliness you made a good play it's worth the money all right there's a study from uh let's see according to the conversation that's publication um the future looks bright um when you're optimistic so apparently optimism makes you healthier did you know that optimism makes you healthier it does because if you're optimistic you're more likely to have a better attitude and less stress and we know that stress causes you bad health and uh optimists are also more likely to do the things that you're supposed to do to stay healthy so if you know that eating and exercising and staying away from bad stuff is bad for you The Optimist will actually do that stuff why because I think it'll work if you think something's going to work you're far more likely to do it so Optimist live longer so one of the reasons you watch this show is that I make you more optimistic I do that intentionally and it makes you think wait a minute maybe I could lose weight maybe I could exercise more maybe I could be smarter about my vote Yes yes yes and uh there I think I added uh about seven minutes to your life just by that little bit of optimism seven minutes you're welcome all right um there's a University College London study it says that the language used by mothers affects the oxytocin levels of in of infants uh I'm going to give you an example of that and I'm going to see if you needed the science to tell you that the oxytocin would be better under one scenario than another scenario one oh what what's that you got there little Bobby oh blocks oh looks like you built a you built a little fort is that what you wanted to do oh good job you built a little fort nice what are you gonna do next okay that's one that's one way now compare this other style of parenting what the hell have you got these blocks all over the FL floor you Blockhead jeez I'm going to step on one of these and break my ankle get out of my sight you disgust me now if you compare those two parenting Styles which one do you think is creating a healthier child that's right maybe you could have just asked me and not do that study I'm pretty sure the your oxytocin of your baby is better if you're nice to them and you show interest yeah do that according to the Daily wire there's a new study that says that life may have existed on Mars because they found some rocks that have all the telltale signs of have been associated with water so you don't know to need to know the details but apparently you can look at a rock and tell if it's been associated with water in the past and so they think maybe it is but I have a question where does the water go is that the dumbest question of the day or the smartest I actually I can't tell where where does it go now I assume somebody's going to say it like if the uh if the atmosphere can't hold it in you know if it's not insulated it'll just go into space does water go into space I mean how could it how could it escape the you know even if it's uh turns it into vapor can vapor escape the gravity of the planet I'm seeing yes so if we did not have greenhouse gases does that mean we would lose the water on Earth it would just see I understand evaporation but evaporation is still a closed system it doesn't go anywhere just change its form but does it really go into space and just keep going I that the thing I don't understand is how could it escape gravity H I got questions I'm not I'm not sure the that the fast answer is the right answer is and it's funny that I don't know the answer to that doesn't that seem like that would be sort of common sense like like everybody who had a good education should be able to answer the question if Mars once had water where' to go I should be able to answer that so I'm a little embarrassed that I can't but you know I don't care about embarrassment all right well the price of lithium batteries apparently is going to plunge and keep plunging um doesn't matter why but probably just supply and demand but uh lithium prices will plunge making the electric cars way more compatible um competitive with gas engines because right now if your battery dies in your electric car that's not such a good economic situation for you but if the price of the batteries keeps going down then you could lose your battery and just say oh well $55,000 for a new battery it's way better than a new car so it would be similar to the price of replacing your engine so that can change things on top of that there's a company radiant which is uh looking to mass-produce Portable nuclear reactors starting in 2026 so uh their CEO Doug burnau I guess had some experience in the Elon musk world of engineering so it's a serious person and showed a picture of them so these these one megawatt nuclear reactors they look like the size of uh a bus so basically one of them would be the size of a bus and you could put more than one of them next to each other so you could have one location but you could have you know a couple of buses parked next to each other and it' be one megawatt so you're basically powering a small City and they can just it looks like the entire process would be easy to just drag one in there and hook it up and turn it on do do you realize what a big deal that would be if this works if they if they could really make mass produced see see mass produced is the the key to it all because mass produced just tells you it's economical it's easy there'll be lots of them if they can really so it looks like they've designed it from the ground up with the purpose of being super safe super cheap and easy to produce and get approved what if this works and OB bet is not the only company I mean rules Rices in this space there'll be others this is gigantic it's one it's one of the biggest things in Civilization meanwhile Honda has created some kind of solid state battery that's going to be 50% smaller according to new Atlas um so it's it's not important that Honda has a battery that's way way better it's just part of this bigger story that Battery Technology this is the reason I I give you a battery story almost every day if you didn't understand that the entire world of battery and electrical storage is so Dynamic right now it almost guarantees anic breakthroughs because it's just lots of good science lots of prototypes lots of money and everybody knows that's where it has to go I mean you're you're going to have to get to the point for sure that we can do electric and store it and store it economically so everything's heading in the right direction that free markets doing it Elon Musk is a saying the F35 our most expensive fighter uh jet is maybe not not as smart as having just lots of drones I think that's right it does seem to me that a drone Air Force is both inevitable and would be superior to um fighter jets just because you could cover the sky with drones and probably stop any fighter jet I would imagine if he if you had a whole drone like swarm imagine you could take out a very expensive jet without too much trouble now I suppose there's a height issue maybe that might be that might be part of it but he's probably right that we need to save some money and turn ourselves into a drone Force speaking of uh Elon Musk star Link's uh new system now can connect to your mobile phone with no extra equipment or special app so I don't know exactly what that means but I think you can take your regular existing phone and instead of saying I'm using uh one of the regular phone companies can you now just select starlink as your provider or extra provider is it in addition to or is it instead of so I don't know the details of this yet but imagine having an a phone made by Elon Musk that actually had real security so the government couldn't get into it if that's even possible probably not possible um but wow that's a pretty big deal all right I'm going to make an announcement Public Announcement are you ready Public Announcement number one do not ever follow my stock advice I don't give advice but because I talk about big companies publicly you know as part of what I do every day I feel like it is is an obligation to you my audience that I tell you if I make any uh investment change in a company that I talk about so you already know that I own stock in Tesla so if you hear me saying good things about Tesla what you should say is oh he probably would have said that even if he didn't believe it now the truth is I don't think I would lie to you about a stock I bought but from your point of view you should be Skeptics right you shouldn't assume I everything I say is true I think it is I have no reason not to tell you the truth but your your view should be other people are always sketchy when it comes to money doesn't matter who it is just just assume all other people are a little sketchy when it comes to your money now I'm going to tell you what change I made but I'm going to be really serious about this next statement don't think it's a good idea for you do you all get that cuz what what I'm going to tell you was probably the worst investment idea you ever had in your life I just sold all of my Invidia stock I had quite a bit now I I'm a recent buyer of it so I didn't get the you know the 10,000% gain I got a maybe 75% gain so 75% in less less than a year and so I sold it now I owe you an explanation but again don't take my explanation as being credible or smart I'm not really good at investing I'm seriously not good at there there are things I do that I do well and I'm happy to tell you what they are I love to tell you what my what my good things are this isn't one of them and what I mean by that is that there's not really people who are smart enough to pick individual stocks you know if you going to listen to me you get an index fund all right so here's my reasoning but um I'm not confident in it whatsoever my reasoning goes like this I believe that the market of people who can buy these expensive AI devices will soon be saturated it's not there yet so there's still probably plenty of room to grow so if you if you held yours I would say probably smart um but at some point I think there's going to be a competitor and I don't know that they have the the Moes that I would look for in a company like this for example if somebody comes up with a more clever chip and it's cheaper the entire Nvidia business model falls apart all at once because if somebody could do the same thing and cheaper what do they have and it does seem to me that um there should be the highest level of technical experts would be trying to compete with Nvidia because Nvidia became the most uh expensive company in the world in no time at all so in theory if the free market is working then the smartest people in the world are creating the whatever is the next technology that they hope will take over from Nvidia I also Al am worried that companies are going to start announcing in the next year or so that they overspent on AI and what I mean by that is that they had high hopes for it solving all their problems but once they got into it and they really got deep into it um all they could do is make apps that they would try to sell to other people to solve their problems but it doesn't so AI so far is not is not a technology that solves problems it's a technology that can people people are produ ising they're Turing it into different apps and products and they're selling it to you to solve your problem but it's not solving any of your problems at some point somebody's going to notice hey looks like we spent millions of dollars on this and everything's the same now there will be special cases where it works perfectly there'll be special cases where an AI app will just replace some people save some money everybody wins does a better job but I think they're going to be the exceptions I think they might be the exceptions and I think the AI as an interface might become a commodity and that seems to be the only thing it can do the only thing AI does consistently is create art which will have no value do you know why the art from AI will have no value supply and demand you're going to have infinite art for no cost you if you already own the app you can make infinite art so so it's great that AI makes art but it's going to make art have no value because everybody can make infinite art supply and demand it's obvious so art will have no value you at least the art that AI can make um the in the part where it's really good at talking to you and understanding what you're saying and creating good sentences that will continue to be useful but it's going to be a commodity it'll just be in everything and I can't believe that that drives invidious profits where they need to be and then there's the pattern recognition stuff which might be great like it can help with a progr but so far and I don't see this changing by the way so far nobody except a trained programmer can use AI to make a program am I right do do you think you with no training whatsoever and had a program could go use Ai and make yourself an app and put it in the market and it's commercial and everybody buys it I don't think so I've never heard of it I don't think it's happening so I think that a lot of the interest in Nvidia is because people are thinking in terms of AGI but Nvidia is not in the AGI business I don't know that they will be because nobody knows how to make AGI so there's no Hardware you can make to make the thing that nobody knows how to make now you can make little Leo chat chat Bots and stuff but at the moment they don't really do much they're just too Limited um the battle between Art and Science is settled I didn't know there was a battle um there's talk that saas will collapse because companies can just generate it with AI again Owen that's where Common Sense takes you Common Sense tells you hey this AI stuff's can replace all these obvious things that are suboptimal except that I don't think you can we're we're not seeing it and and the fact that AI still hallucinates and I don't think that's been solved how are you going to replace your your SAS with something that hallucinates because you'll get answers but you won't know if they're real so between hallucinating and the fact that um AI doesn't seem to remember you and there doesn't seem to be a technology where I can have my my most personal stuff I wanted to remember to be local local and away from the AI company so that they can't get my good stuff because my perfect situation is I've got an AI and it sits on top of data that only I own and my AI only goes into it when it needs to but otherwise it doesn't know anything it it only knows that has access to the database that's not there so here's a Warren Buffett um reason for selling a stock if you have a reason for buying a stock you buy it and if that reason doesn't change you hold it for me the reason changed because I like monopolies so Nvidia is basically a monopoly right now but I don't see the moat I don't see how they can stay one so that's why I changed my investment but remember I'm terrible at investing if you follow my lead you'll probably lose money Invidia is already up today so if you had followed my advice yesterday you would already have lost money so say that as clearly as possible all right uh Alex Jones is saying the Sandy Hook was a Bloomberg op not not the crime itself but rather the fact that Alex Jones was sued and basically uh taken down by that lawfare and he thinks that that was all funded by Bloomberg and that he he was behind the whole thing it looked like it was organic but it wasn't it was just to get to Trump so given that Alex Jones was you know strong voice for trump it was one way that they could take him out now do you think that's true this this is Alex Jones saying that this is new information that came out so I I guess the core cases revealed who got funded for what because here's what I've been wondering about Sandy Hook I understand that the parents would be disr because somebody in the media said something about their situation I get that but why does that let you sue somebody where'd that come from like that doesn't sound organic take today for example today I'm going to talk a little later about fenel and some changes and when I talk about fenol do you know that almost every time I mention it on a somebody will come into my uh feed and tell me that it's my own damn fault that my stepson died from a drug overdose and that uh he deserved to die um it's just you know it was it was getting it was weeding out you know the ones we don't need and uh and it goes like that now how's that make me feel well I'm a little tougher than the average public figure so I just usually block them and say people are terrible it doesn't bother me a lot I bothers me a little bit but not a lot now do I get to sue them do I get to sue the people on ex who say oh things that I think are not true I don't think I should just feels like their opinion so to me it seems like Alex Jones had an opinion which he thought was true nobody nobody ever I don't think anybody ever proved that he thought he was lying can you correct me on that I'll need a fact check on that there's no evidence produced anywhere that he thought he was wrong right now I don't think he was right I don't I don't think there was a you know a fake event but there's no evidence that he thought he was wrong and he did it anyway so I never really understood the lawsuit but now I do now I do it it had to be funded by some billionaire who wanted to just take out Alex Jones and if this is the answer that it was Mike Bloomberg was the billionaire and he was taking out Alex Jones I'm not so sure I want to you know believe this completely but if it did turn out that Michael Bloomberg is behind that God he's a piece of if he's really behind this he's a really piece of I I actually backed him one time years ago I thought well he looks like he'd be pretty good national office because he did good did a good job in New York but wow he turned out to be not anything that I thought he was I'm very disappointed in him rasmon has a little poll says that 55% of us voters believe the President should choose cabinet officers he knows he can trust compared to 39% who think it's better to pick ones with experience I think the Public's getting it right again the public is doing a hell of a job have you noticed that the public just sort of getting the right answer lately yeah the majority of the public seems to be getting the right answer on all the big questions and this is new I don't think they were doing this for the last four years but yes if you have um cabinet officers that you can't trust it doesn't matter how experienced they are in fact you'd want them to be less experienced CU if you you don't trust them you don't want them to use all their experience against you so yes yes yes loyalty and Trust has to be a higher than experience it has to be now if it were not Trump I might go the other way but we've seen Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time Again that people come after Trump in every way they can so if they stuck any little spy in his campaign well it's going to be terrible for him so yes loyalty trust first and if you have to give up some experience okay it's not perfect but yes if you give me that choice I'm going to take trust over experience now you can't pick a don't don't give me a total clown I don't want to clown but if you tell me that Matt Gates couldn't have done the job you're wrong you could have if you if you think that Pete Heth can't do the job you're wrong I'm pretty sure he can right now I don't know character-wise or anything else about him but but yeah the there there there are enough permanent people in every organization to get the basic job done you just need somebody to handle the big uh the big ethical questions basically and he could do that for sure so uh the o'keef Media grp Group OMG got some uh new corporate guy um in the NIH National National Institute of Health and uh let's see it's Raja colan he's the chief of Health Data standards uh with a very longer name I'll stop there so he actually said this on undercover video I probably shouldn't be saying this s loud that they might they might have funded a lab in Wuhan China and fizer and madna are getting a bunch of money from all these vaccine mandates uh he said to the OMG undercover journalist I quote I don't even know if these vaccines stop you from getting covid they don't uh he said we're all going to learn about the dangers of covid vaccines when it's too late yikes uh he said the six feet of social distancing was not based on any science it was completely made up um he thinks that Trump's Victory is worse for the National Institute of Health it would be better for a Democrat to be in office he said quote we fly under the radar of really being scrutinized I don't think I have too much to worry about and then he and then he says to the undercover journalist who is recording every every word on the undercover recording he realized that if if he is being recorded in anything he said he's in trouble and so he finishes his sentence with that's not recording right that's not recording right oh yeah it was recording got every word got every word Now by now I don't think this is much of a scoop to know that people inside these these agencies know that they were just making up and that and that greater scrutiny is really bad for them but he's saying it directly the Democrats won't scru I us that's pretty bad to be out there meanwhile Walmart one of the biggest Employers in the whole darn country is going to get rid of its Dei program and they they basically they're going to abandon all the woke stuff they're going to get rid of controversial products for children and uh just get get out of all of it and this is a big win for Robbie Starbuck who been the activist who's contacting Walmart specifically and saying you know just giving you some warning you're next BEC because if you get the Robbie Starbucks treatment a lot of people on the internet are going to say whoa whoa we're going to Target you now what are you doing there you racist so Walmart's getting ahead of it I would say that you well I'm going to give the credit here to Robbie Starbuck primarily um this is more of the Trump effect isn't it this is the Trump effect because I think if KLA Harris had won I don't think Walmart would get rid of Dei I think they would think oh damn it we're going to have some problems with the government if we get rid of it and we might need the government now and then big companies all need the government now and then so I call this a trump effect uh you know working its way through Robbie Starbuck who's doing an amazing job so James Carville is not too happy with John Stewart um so I guess John Stewart said that uh the identity politics shouldn't have been the reason that Harris lost because uh she was not running on woke identity politics does that sound right to you the K Harris was not running on woke and identity politics well your common sense might say well that's crazy that's everything she was doing but I think John sewer would say if you actually listened to her you know what she said during the campaign she seemed to have walked away from it because it was sort of a losing proposition but still she embodied it from top to bottom Not only was she an identity pick the most clearly obviously nobody's trying to hide it identity pick her boss said I'm picking her because of she's a black woman identity pick and then when there could have been some kind of a process to see if she was the best pick they got rid of the process to keep the identity pick and then and and we assumed that the companies would have to keep with Dei if she had been elected but um James Carville is not taking any of that and he said uh quote Bill Mah um he said he said John Stewart says it couldn't have hurt because no Democrat ran on it in order to escape any responsibility they said that stuff was never used in 2024 and uh James Carville says you're wrong it was used in politics if you have a bad policy you may throw it away but the other side gets to play that's right so it didn't matter that she tried to run away from in the last you know the closing hours of the campaign it only mattered that the Republicans were going to make hay with it and they did you know the the trans related commercials especially were called out so it didn't matter what Harris did the Democrats had spent years creating this environment which the Republicans had every right to say there's too much of this and you're going to get more of it if you elect a Democrat so yeah you can't run away from the house you built it's like she built a house and then she lived inside it and said I'm not building a house right now but you're living inside the house I know but I built it earlier but you built it but I'm not building it right now I haven't even mentioned it in two weeks so yes if you build the house and you live in it the Republicans are going to notice and James Carville is going to notice that the Republicans noticed he's not a happy guy anyway um and according to the Vigilant Fox they had some uh news Nation show so Cuomo had one of the biggest donors for the Democrats this guy named John Morgan he's called a mega donor and he thinks that K Harris's political life is over because she misused the money that she was um she got she said it was spent so recklessly they wasted money on ads in Florida so she was running ads in places that she couldn't win interestingly Trump also spent campaign money in states he couldn't win so I'm not sure this donor on the right page because the reason Trump did it I think is that he thought he had a good chance based on internal polling of winning the Electoral College but his mandate would only be useful if he also won the popular vote so you go to States like New York and California he couldn't possibly win but if he could gather up some votes from people who had a low propensity to vote maybe he get the popular vote and he did so why why would Trump's strategy that worked not work for Harris if she advertised in Florida because she just wanted to you know boost her her to total numbers I think we have to figure out who are the smart people here because the mega donor sounds like he doesn't understand how the campaign works now I'm not defending Harris I'm just saying that you can't have an article that says going to the states you're going to lose is brilliant if you're Trump but going to the states you're going to lose is a bad idea if you're KL Harris because that's what's out there like it can't be both a good idea and a bad idea at the same time so I don't know maybe maybe the argument is that her internal poll showed she wasn't going to win the swing States so don't work on the the don't work on the popular vote if you're not even going to win the swing States but we don't know what her internal poll said and neither does he so I don't know uh meanwhile California it turns well it's a California story do you think it's going to be positive it's like California just tries to come up with what's the dumbest thing we can do to show that we're not like even serious about fixing anything so uh they've dropped the uh EV incentive there was some tax incentive for building EVS in California but did you know there's only one company that builds an eeve in California it's called Tesla yeah it's just an anti- Tesla law why why would you why would a state just come up with an anti- Tesla law just because musk is working productively with Trump now I tell you there it feels like there's not anything that California does that isn't just absolutely up like we need to get rid of our leadership so much I mean I mean it's just so bad it's embarrassing I don't get embarrassed but if I did this would do it anyway it looks like Trump will have persevered through all of his uh lawfare odds as he likes to say he's persevered and you if you don't know let's see Jack Smith is uh dropping all of his claims and I guess that keeps them alive should they want to re reup them after he gets out of office which is a messed up thing to do if you're going to drop him and he's a certain age you should you know drop them in a way that they're not coming back so kind of messed up that they'd keep that risk over his head but uh this so the the stuff that got dropped is the 2020 election interference and the classified document case so Trump still has the 34 felonies or whatever they are for his New York City lawfare trial where the bank made him a good loan and got paid back and they were happy so he's a felon because he did what everybody does when they get a loan with property he overstated the value of the loan knowing that the lender would check it on their own and the only thing that mattered is what the lender checked anyway so I'd love to get for him to get rid of these 34 felonies just so people don't have to say it anymore the rumor is that cash Patel will be named FBI director post Millennials talking about this is still in the rumor phase unless it happened this morning I guess um what do you think of that is that going to happen now I don't know a ton about cash Patel uh I only know this Trump never leaves cash on the table boom I've been telling you that for years he never leaves cash on the table he always picks it up and here we are with cash Patel so uh if if I judge from just the videos I've seen of his uh ability to talk in public and answer the right questions and have the right opinions and see things through the right frame seem strong so um my first impression is strong um according to the National pulse uh recruitment in the military is sharply up and they think it's because P hagath got nominated and apparently if you're the anti- Dei person people want to get into the military again and if you're the anti-war person uh that's too strong but it's part of the you know the Trump World is anti-war let's say so if you think there's fewer chances you'll be killed and more chances you'll be promoted and fewer chances you'll be treated like garbage for some Dei reason I would say that would make sense that people would be signing up to be in the military makes sense meanwhile here's more uh maybe Trump effect the IDF is looking to wrap up their uh their military missions in U in Lebanon and they want to get everything uh wrapped up um in the next 60 days because after that Trump's going to be in office and he's going to wrap it up for him so there's the Trump effect so the Trump effect seems to um have increased and increased people joining the military and it seems to have simultaneously decreased the odds that there will be a World War once he's in charge so that's pretty good meanwhile here's more Trump effect the uh the Haitians that were uh very numerous in Springfield and caused the meme about eating the cats and dogs which as far as I know is not not based on any ser serious reality but uh apparently a lot of the Haitians that were in Springfield are self- deporting because they think that Trump's election would put them in Jeopardy if they stay there and maybe they're right so you've got you've got Ukraine and Russia waiting for Trump obviously you've got Israel waiting for Trump obviously you've got the Haitians waiting for Trump obviously and they're all correcting and then you see people joining the military because of trump stock market is up because Trump's coming do you notice the pattern it's almost everything is better almost everything and to me the funniest reason that the uh Democrats can't figure out what they did wrong is that it was everything from top to bottom there wasn't a single thing if you just if you go head to-head what did Trump's campaign do and what did c commus campaign do head-to-head Trump was extraordinary but on every Dimension except one which was raising the most money kamla failed so she raised the most money but apparently she used it so poorly that it ruined her future in politics so the raising the money you don't get credit for if you wasted it and it destroyed your hope of ever being in politics again so that's that's again Trump raised less money and underspent it and won a landslide who handles money better duh right so on every single Dimension from communication to policies to strategies to you know money used productively Trump everything every every single thing and you know even if you look at the media even though the media the know the so-called mainstream media was strongly in favor of Harris they themselves did such a bad job that people lost trust in the media and the candidate so I've never seen anything like it the the media became essentially part of the campaign so when the campaign lost the media lost the same amount the their their uh traffic just went through the floor it's because the public saw them as just the campaign we we don't need the heis campaign anymore that's what you were so don't need to watch you anymore well according to a Gallup survey 86% of Republicans and Republican leaning Independents say they're optimistic because of Trump's election 86% of people who lean right are optimistic but how about the people who lost 76% of Democrats uh said they were afraid as a reaction to the election they feel angry and devastated do you remember the story I told you earlier in the live stream here that people who are optimistic live longer and they're more successful they're healthier I can actually feel this like the the level of optimism that I've seen and also experienced and other people that I interact with is so high that I would be amazed if it's not good for our health I I feel like my health was suppressed for four years and now now suddenly I just feel great when I wake up every morning I wake up feeling great and I don't think that was the same it just feels different so I I guess I feel bad for the Democrats because they're uh they're affecting their own health at this point um apparently uh don Jr's making making some uh provocative news he's suggesting that the White House is considering instead of doing the press releases where you've got all the mainstream media asking stupid questions that nobody cares about and not getting answered that they might they might replace at least some of the Press Room with Independence and they you they use Joe Rogan as an example Blaze media is writing about this by the way um and uh Don John Jr seems to be confirming that this is at least at least a serious discussion now um my idea was to have a rotating press secretary this is better you remember I told you that the uh sometimes brain brainstorming is about the bad idea because the bad idea might make you think of the good one here I can see that mine was the bad one so the bad idea was to get the celebrity if you will to just do the job of standing in front and trying to represent the president but since the celebrity would not be as informed and you know maybe they wouldn't take that seriously and you know maybe it would look too much like a joke and people would say get back to being serious so that was my idea and they has some warts on it but it would possibly it would possibly make you think of the idea well wait instead of changing the press secretary why don't we change the people asking the questions oh now we're good that's way better than my idea it's way better now I'm not saying that my idea led to that idea but I'm just saying it could have like in in the real world that's a normal way things could happen um so that's why the bad idea is such a good idea because it leads to good ideas so I'd love to say this now I don't I don't think they need to get rid of all the major media but if you stuck in some Independence and actually got them to ask some questions I would love that because my biggest thing with the press conferences I they don't always ask the right questions but you put the independence in there and they will so love that all right here's a story that's sort of close to my heart um as you know my stepson died of a fenel overdose in 2018 and I have been very vocal about what we should do about it and very anti-china and anti- Mexico Etc and during Trump's first term um I had great optimism that he would make something happen in that domain he did not he did not and it's one of my biggest disappointments now later my take on it was there wasn't anything you could do because unless you're going to attack China they just will just keep doing what they're doing sending their precursors to Mexico and unless you militarily attacked Mexico the cartels will just keep doing what they're doing and they're all making money so if they're all making money and the only thing you could do is threaten to attack them then you've done nothing turns out Trump doesn't like to lose and he definitely lost on fenel and they definitely made him look like a chump let me say that directly China made Trump look like a chump by promising to do it and doing nothing nothing to stop fenel and Mexico has a little explaining to do too I mean the cartels are the primary pushers of it so apparently he's decided that that's not going to go down this way this time so here are the things he's announced so far um he's Trump is going to put a big tariff on both Canada and Mexico because they're not doing enough to control their borders partly because of fenel so he's just going to he's just basically going to take trade out of it now hold on hold on uh I'm waiting for the NPCs to rush into the comments and say Scott Scott don't you understand how tariffs work don't you understand that tariffs are paid by the American the American company that want to buy it why do you not understand how terrorists work you can't threaten Canada because it's really just coming out of the pockets of the the American companies okay you're totally wrong if you did one tariff that affected one American company yeah it just be coming out of the American company's pocket if you do a broad tariff about all their goods you're going to start finding that the market starts to adjust to that so what you're playing for is the market adjustment so suddenly somebody in America who didn't think they could compete might say wait a minute if I make it here it's going to be 20% cheaper than Canada oh wow it's a new market so the long game is that Trump is telling you you know your car market we're going to put you on a business the whole the whole industry we're just going to take it out if if you don't cooperate same with Canada you you like selling your I don't know what they sell milk and butter or whatever do you like that Arrangement where we buy your Farm Goods okay in uh 9 months we're not going to buy any of your farm Goods because they'll be priced out of consideration so is it true that Canada is not the one paying for the tariffs yes the company that the American company that wanted to import it or the customer basically pays for it but the reason you do the Tariff is so people will stop buying it and they'll look for another source so in the short run is it just a tax on uh consumers and is it just a um a cause of inflation yes we all understand that are we on the same page now are the NPCs happy that everybody understands that in the short run the American company pays for it so you're not you're not charging China or Canada or Mexico however if you commit to that being your long-term situation you take the entire Market away from those countries and they're not going to put up with that because they need to sell cars and they need to sell so it's a it's a negotiating tool and it's a good one so he's basically told Canada and Mexico uh you're our most important trading partners but it's not going to stay that way because you're not doing the basics you you're not controlling the Border and you're not controlling the cartels you're not doing the basics so if you want to be our long-term trading partner we're going to change that long-term short term it'll cost us some more money longterm every one of you longterm you're all dead and we don't even need to do a thing for you so you need to do this now here's what I've said I've said this about China and fenol that we should close our embassies if China if you promise you're going to stop the fenel precursor trade and you don't do a thing we should withdraw our Embassy and say look this is the price of talking you do this first because this is not negotiable right they're acting like it's negotiable no killing 50,000 Americans a year is not negotiable you got to do that before we have anything to do with you now of course we have so much business with them that you can't do quickly but if you start giving them a general 20% tariff they're going to get the idea that in the long run you're because you can't do this it's the opening it's basically the ticket to the show get rid of f Fentanyl and you can be in the show if you don't get rid of fentanyl we will squeeze you until there's nothing left cuz you got to start there first that's what I think Trump's doing so he makes a phone call to the new president of Mexico and suddenly uh the Calo cartel is killing fentin makers themselves and he's saying he's GNA so the even the cartels are Tred to get out of the business faster than the government wants them to I think and uh Trump basically says he's going to release uh us knowledge about the Mexican government government being owned by the cartels unless they do what he says to which I say yes now that's a serious play please stop sending Sentinel that's not serious but we're we're going to take you out that's serious he's basically's threatening the government of Mexico that he's going to take him out of power because that's what would happen if he released the information about the cartels now that's serious and then he says he's also going to send the Special Forces down to basically just kill all the all the cartel assets and put them out of business now will he I don't know he will if he needs to so I'll say that if he needs to yes he will 100% chance you know there's some things I say that Trump won't do like deporting 20 million people I don't don't think he's going to do that but would he use the Special Forces if they ignore him again I think he would take out the government and then he'd send in the special forces and just mow along because I think he's done he's second term and he's done I I think this is the most humiliating thing that ever happened to him in office I think China and Mexico humiliated him by ignoring him basically and now he's going to say you can do what you want but I'll tell you what you're not going to do is enjoy it do whatever you want you're not going to enjoy it and you're really going to be wishing you hadn't done it so that's the current situation that's the Trump effect so China would get an extra 10% on top of the tariffs that he wants to give them for other stuff if fentel is still shipped to Mexico all right now I watched a video um that Patrick Bet David had in which he was talking to an author of a book which describes allegedly her um group in as a sex spy in an elite satanic pedo ring now if if this is the first you've heard of this Elite satanic pedophile ring running the world your your reaction should be the same as mine that's probably not true I mean there's probably not a this is where I've been for most of my life I don't think there's an elite pedophile ring running the world there certainly there are Elite pedophiles that's definitely true because you they pedophiles in every every domain so some of them are going to be elite but I didn't think they were organized and I didn't think they actually ran the world I just thought oh well some rich people doing some heinous crimes that's not a big surprise but are they organized and actually running the world well um if you've seen the video and I recommend it you can find it pretty easy Patrick B David uh the pbd broadcast and it just happened so you can find it pretty easily I want you to look at it but I want you to do the following experiment turn on your BS indicators to maximum and then watch that whole thing and see if your BS meter gets tripped because mine was edged like crazy but it didn't trip you know if you know what I mean like my my BS meter was going and it was all it was ready to go into the red where where I was ready to say all right none of this is true this can't be true and then it was over it never went into the red it had all kinds of signals all kinds of signals that I was like H I don't know I'm not so sure I believe that never got into the red I sure expected it to so uh so take this as a lesson I'm trying to determine BS I'm going to tell you what what was starting to trigger me and then I'll tell you why it didn't all right the first trigger is it's too extraordinary and to on the nose because it just sounds like a it sounds like an Infowars episode just to on the nose we've been we keep hearing about the elite satanic pedophile rings so so the first thing against it is two on the nose it would be a good way to sell a book the next thing is that the documentary effect this is this one's important I talk about this a lot if you see a documentary that makes one claim and never shows you the other side or you don't even know if there is another side it will be persuasive almost every time because otherwise you wouldn't even see it they're going to make the thing and if it's not persuasive they won't put it out there and if they do put it out there and it gets any attention it's because it's persuasive so yeah and I always use the uh the Michael Jackson uh documentaries as my example there's there's a documentary that says oh Michael Jackson definitely did terrible things with children then there's another documentary says this is obviously all made up and here's the reasons that it's all made up they are both 100% convincing and they can't both be true it can't be true that it happened and true that it didn't happen but they are 100% convincing you you have to go through this experiment or you won't understand the world if you don't watch both of them it it should be easy to find them you just Google find out the the two Michael doc Michael Jackson documentaries that's the way documentaries work I still love documentaries but to imagine that you're hearing the truth that's probably the rarest thing that probably a documentary is always you know spun in One Direction or another so you've got the two on the nose and then you've got the documentary effect which you shouldn't trust in general and then there's one person talking and I'm not hearing from anybody else but she referenced she referenced a knowledge of a wide number of other um victims that were victimized exactly the way she was but we didn't hear from them so again that's that's another red flag if even one other person person had said yes here's the video I made everything she says is true I was there at the same time Etc I don't know then there was the names that she she mentioned so she acted like it was not her intention to name names but pbd got her to do it pretty easily the first name she mentioned was uh and again so that I don't get sued I'm I'm not accepting that this is true I'm not accepting that it's false I'm saying I can't tell so the none of these are my claims and I don't want to be responsible for them but her claim is that when she was six years old she was basically sold to David Rockefeller and from like the age of six to nine she was brainwashed and trained to be a sex slave at that age actual sex slave at that age and they were trying to make her he was trying to make her a celebrity in France so that she would be sort of a manufactured singer celebrity because apparently he thought he had the clout to do that and that she would then therefore get into sexual trist with famous people because she would be famous and then politicians Etc and then he and his pedophile Network allegedly would be able to control the World by having the right kind of black m Assets in place now that's the sort of story that you know pbd did a great job I thought asking enough details so if she couldn't give you any details you'd say hey hey why aren't you giving me more details one of the questions was she said that she didn't know he that that was David Rockefeller until he died which was well after she was a child so she so her claim is that she spent years going from house to house for in David rockefeller's care he basically was like a I know the guardian or something for a while and that she never heard the name Rockefeller she only called him David and it never occurred to him who he was now pbd showed some skepticism as in really I mean nobody else mentioned the name at all like that doesn't sound credible she somewhat angrily pushed back that she was a child and that it in and that of course she knew who kennedies were not kennedies of course she knew who the Rockefellers were uh when she became an adult but it never connected to her that the guy named David was a Rockefeller until he died and she saw his picture it was like holy hell that was a Rockefeller does that sound real that one's hard to believe right that's hard to believe but is it impossible to believe it's not impossible it's not impossible it's hard to believe so I would say that's it's one little check in the box that says H it's two on the nose I don't hear another witness uh you now it's starting it's starting to be a little shaky right and then pbd asked another great question he said how in the world could you at the age of nine or whatever be hanging around with this you know adult and uh hanging around with this adult and nobody asked any questions and it wasn't obvious what your role was and and she said yes you know there were two of the servants in one of the houses who were fully aware of what was going on she assumed and so pbd asks like like why did you think they knew what was going on and she looks at him and she says they saw us in bed and that just killed me apparently they were servants the kind who would bring you something while you were still in bed and her claim was that they would come in and do just do their work and they were very nice to her but that she would be in with him and it would be obvious why she was in bed and apparently they had been well vetted or well paid and they just rolled with it do you believe that do you believe that two servants could be co-opted to keep their mouth shut about that coming into his room and seeing him in bed with a 9-year-old does that sound true it does because you can get people to do anything yeah yeah unfortunately that's not much of a that's not much of a hit on on The credibility at all because if any of this exists if any of it's real it requires lots of people to do things that unfortunately people do now her take was that this is definitely satanic um that that the whole thing at is satanic kind of structure to it but then not all the people involved were satanic Believers so some of them literally were doing performances and to set to get sell their soul to Satan others were just sort of going along with the Satan thing because they were just pedos now that part sounded real because there's a Nuance there it's like yeah no they weren't all satanists but they were willing to act like it if it helped them so I thought hm that does sound real the the the story where she said that they saw her in bed that sounded real to me because that was a detail and if she were lying it would have been smarter to say something like oh he we made sure that nothing happened in front of anybody that would be like a normal lie but to say that no they came in and saw us in bed that's a detail and it doesn't sound like one you made up now here's the big she also named a couple other people now because it's it's already a public thing I'll mention them she accused Justin Trudeau's father who was the boss in Canada at the time of using her services that use a PTO but that his specific um his specific preference was actually murdering children so that she couldn't satisfy him because she wasn't there to be murdered that's a lell of a claim so I'm not going to give you my opinion whether that's true or not that's one person's claim she claims that Rockefeller had to take her to meet with a Roth's child to ask permission for his plan to groomer into a super sex spy and she said that the rth child guy whoever it was uh was not a pedo but he was definitely somehow in charge of the world so he he was the one who had to tell um Rockefeller that he could do his plan but how did she know that that guy was not a pedo well maybe he just didn't express it in her case I don't know then the part that bothers me the most in terms of The credibility is that she talked about recovered memories a lot as in I didn't remember this but then I remembered it I didn't remember it then it came back that is the biggest tell for hypnosis and fake memory generally speaking I would not take anybody serious who said they had a recovered memory because recovered memories aren't real for the most part so there's a fine line between oh suddenly I got a recovered memory that somebody did something bad at me those are usually not real but if your regular memory captured most of it but maybe you suddenly remembering some details maybe maybe but the all the recovered Memories the ones that came to or later uh that is a gigantic signal for not being true it's not a signal that she's lying because she did not put off a tell of lying she looks like she believes what she's saying but there could be two explanations one is false memory which is very common by the way and the other is that is real and she just some things were so terrible that she forgot them until it came back now I'll tell you the scariest part the scariest part believe believe it or not there's something worse um the scariest part is that she said she was given some German guy uh in Germany and stayed there to be brainwashed and that the way she was brainwashed is that he would choke her to unconsciousness and say look at this face so that she would that she would um associate his face with being choked to death and that was just one of the things he did so apparently torturing her so so they would give her a test of seeing if they could recognize somebody's sexual preference by looking at their face which is of course something a human can't do with regularity maybe you can get some of some of the time so it looked like it was a test that was set up to make sure that she couldn't do well on it and then the reason for that is that they could choke her or torture her and then associate themselves as a tortures now the reason for that was that she would be frightened to death of these people because if you do it when she's young this is this is what they call the I call it the Indian uh elephant training trick yeah if you've ever seen a an Indian elephant trainer you'll see him sometimes with a big stick and he'll be like whing on the elephant and the Elephant will just be like oh oh sorry I didn't mean that okay okay all right all right all right and you say to yourself wait a minute that elephant could just grab that little guy and just pound him into the dust if he wanted to why doesn't he and the answer is that the little guy trained the elephant when it was a baby so he beat the elephant when it was a baby and then the elephant grew up and didn't realize that it had power over the little little guy it just thought the little guy still could beat it up so they basically they use the Indian elephant trick on a child to hurt her she claimed um and Associate that hurt with not not getting things right for them so it just became like programming now here's the problem with that if she were not an expert in Persuasion she would not be able to explain um so well the most effective and dark form of persuasion you'll ever hear in your life so everything she said about how that works track they tracked doesn't mean it happened I can't say that happened or didn't happen I don't know but it all fit together and that would have been really hard to do for somebody who hadn't been through it they they wouldn't even know how if I had asked you hey um just just describe how to brainwash somebody to become a sex slave and then I said how do you do that how many of you would come up with choking them to unconsciousness while giving them a test that you knew they were going to get a lot of wrong answers to who would have come up with that right that'd be hard to come up with that if you were just using your common sense she seems like she knew about something like having been there and uh so I'll tell you I so I'll I'll reiterate I couldn't tell if it was real it's certainly in the category of things that could be completely made up because she's making money for a book she she had a mother that apparently had severe mental illness could be genetic but it could have been something that just messed her up by the things happened in her life probably she was sexually trafficked probably um but maybe she added things to the story that's what the the memory stuff would be it would be there was something bad no doubt about it but maybe maybe the story got bigger because she was a child children can imagine things in detail and and and then think that they were true all their life and never never experienced them so I don't know I I'm solidly right on the the fine line between this is real and this is not real I can't tell so I I give this just as an example of what to look for this is a rare case where if you look for everything and you can even identify the things you should have F found you still can't tell so this one really has me my brain is scrambled on this one I I'm usually confident I'm not right 100% of the time but I'm usually confident in a case like this if somebody was lying like that I could tell if they're lying I can't tell this this one's a Puzzler well there's another study that says that uh in According to some NC study um they looked at trainings from people like ibam kendi and Robin D'Angelo who were part of that woke white people are bad part of the world and uh they wanted to see if anti-racism training made people more anti-racist what do you think happened Scott's rich guy fetish is annoying well am I supposed to talk about people who didn't do anything so I'm pretty sure that the guy who's doing doge is more interesting than your Gardener Al your Gardener is a fine guy and there's nothing I have nothing against your Gardener but if you think I'm going to do the show and talk about your Gardener instead of interesting people who are doing massively important things to to the world well you're an idiot so go troll somebody else anyway they found that the anti-racism training surprise made people more racist do you know how they could have saved some money on this study yes they could have just asked me how would I have known that anti-racism study would make people more racist same way you did it's the most obvious thing in the world if you make somebody think of things in a certain frame they will wait for it think of things in a certain frame if you tell people well your environment is full fill of racism look there's some there's some there's some let's talk about some tonight let's let talk about something at your job let's talk about it when you go home let's talk about it if you fill your head with the idea that racism is everywhere and it's coming to get you what are you going to see in the real world racism everywhere coming to get you you didn't have to do a study of course it made things worse of course it did and it's also um the opposite postive optimistic oh your systemic racism can never be fixed all white people are racists what could you do so no it was obvious that the more you make people think about racism the more racist they'll be which brings us back to the wisest thing that uh what's his name actor who plays God uh who's the actor with the who's the black actor who about 85 now and he always plays god what the hell is his name you know who I'm talking about there's a little lag in the comments so you'll tell me in a second um I'll tell you what he said and then you'll remember who it is Morgan Freeman thank you thank you so Morgan Freeman was asked maybe it was on 60 Minutes many years ago uh what do you do about racism like how do you address it and he says stop talking about it just just stop talking about it just let everybody be people and the first time you hear that you say to yourself well that's a easy thing for an actor to say who hasn't really he hasn't put in the work you know he hasn't research the literature that's easy for you to say just well just talk oh you've already made your money oh great you've made your money so you don't have to worry about it but but the rest of us should just stop talking about it right just stop talking about it well turns out he was exactly right the talking about it is what makes it a problem I do believe the systemic racism is real of course it is of course it is but I also believe that if you act like it's real you're going to yourself if you act like it's not real or that it's not going to stop you if it is real you'll do fine it's the thinking is real that is the problem it's not even the racism cuz if you acted like you didn't even know it existed you'd end up like zubie he's got a great life zubie just pretends it doesn't exist and for him it doesn't if you if you've watched him all of his interactions you know what kind of people are drawn to him it it's not like 100% black people it's just you know a full uh you know a full compliment of just people and why is that because he he is very consistent and saying that he's not being discriminated against but is he I don't know maybe maybe in some small way that I'm not aware of but if you act like you're not you're not that that will be your reality even if technically speaking you are being systemically you know somehow damaged just act like you're not and that's how you get past it so just could have asked me about that one all right um I saw a uh hypothesis and this was on the X account Foundation father Foundation dads that's the account and he's talking about an Oxford Anthropologist who has this named JD Unwin oh what a terrible last name his last name is spelled un n w i n so instead being a winner use JD Unwin oh that's so sad terrible last name anyway um he's uh smart and he's studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why they collapsed and he says that within three generations of sexual debauchery your civilization will collapse so we've got like maybe half half a generation left because we're already in this sexual debauchery now the way he defines it is if your country um values virginity until marriage and then value staying together after marriage even if it's not easy then your Society will Thrive and that would be the United States and say the 50s um you know pretty much that model but he says that once people say I don't need to give get married or to be a virgin I want to just go have some fun that what what happens then is you basically fall apart and that's where America is right now now here's my take on that because you need some optimism today's optimism day that pattern is very clear but we don't know what is cause and what is effect is is bad management of the government the reason that families fall apart and therefore there's more you know more uh sexual what perversions or whatever uh I sure that I don't I don't think they got this cause and effect right see if if the government did not make it easier to get divorced wouldn't people stay together unhappily but they stay together if the government did not have a way to keep you alive unless you got married doesn't that create more single people so I'm not sure it's the people change and then that collapses the government it seems to me that the government changes and says yeah go do your thing and then when you go do your thing um everything falls apart because you can't replace you can't replace people and you know the if the family unit falls apart you get more get more bad children out of that who do bad things so here's the good news I think that the United States in the current the current time has the ability to do something like Doge and something like electing president Trump and something like sending reusable Rockets into space we are sort of in a place where the things that never worked before could be made to work that doesn't mean it will be so I'd keep an eye on this you know virginity marriage thing is probably important but we do have the ability to say how about you add a robot how about uh nobody gets a financial benefit from getting a divorce how about uh the children who have the most likely chance of you know contributing get raised by a group of people plus their parents so that you would never let anybody just have bad parents if they had bad parents you'd make you'd say wait you've got a good kid that seems to have potential but I've got you know one bad parent or two bad parents so we're going to we're going to layer on top of that a lot of contact with some high functioning successful people so that that kid can get some good good advice too so you could imagine and I'm not saying I've got the right ideas for it but you could imagine imagine that we're smart enough and we have enough different kinds of options and resources that we could find a way around it in a way that no Society had ever done in the history of humanity because we've done that a bunch of times right by now we should have run out of oil but we figured it out by now we should have run out of food but we figured out how to make fertilizer and you know GMOs and stuff so uh we we may be at a point where we can engineer our way out of things that would have destroyed any prior civilization and I say that also because of communication today um there aren't that many cities that are brought that are like major cities that just disappear because those major cities have communication with all the other cities in the world so if their prices of real estate goes down enough then people who communicate with them around the world say wait what's the house cost in Detroit really $25,000 and I could have my own house it's a lot of crime you say well it's still worth it for that cheap house so as long as you have communication and a free market most cities can decline but then they'll decline to the point where they're a good value and then there's a chance they can come back now that would never be the case in Ancient Ancient World if you start started losing your food source well you're screwed what are you going to do about it ship more food in from China nobody's shipping any food anywhere so you're just going to die or or let's say a uh uh the Mongols come in and they want to burn your city and destroy it well we're watching that you know um Gaza is being completely destroyed but it's still going to be there in 20 years probably because when the winds down it's probably a place that they're going to rebuild so and probably most of the same people will be there so I don't know if the the situation exists where entire cities or civilizations can disappear I think they'll morph but they're more likely to find a solution to whatever their biggest problem is than any time in history uh the seed of Satan down below didn't see that all right so as far as I can tell everything's going our way um it's hard to see the exceptions to that um and um that's all I got for you today everything's going your way I think the economy is going to do better I think the government debt is going to get under control I think robots are coming it's all looking good all right I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately for a little minute they get some special time and thanks for joining on You.
Tube and Rumble and X here I come locals 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 e e e e
we'd like to see that let me get my
comments going here and then we're going
to have the show of
shows yes I am wearing the official
coffee with Scott Adams
beanie and the official coffee with
Scott Adams
t-shirt also comes with the
hoodie if you're wondering where you
could get yours just Google coffee with
Scott Adams
merchandise it'll pop right up I think
you can see the link in my uh X bio as
well or no you can see the link on uh
the
Youtube things just just Google it
coffee was got Adams merchandise it'll
pop right
up good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization it's
called coffee with Scott Adams and
you've never had a better time but if
you'd like to take this experience up to
levels and nobody can understand with
their tiny shiny human brains all you
need is a copper muger glass a tanker
gel suin canteen suer flask a vessel of
any kind fill it with your favorite
liquid I like coffee and join me now for
the unparalleled pleasure dopamine end
of the day thing that makes everything
better it's called yes the simultaneous
step and it happens now
go oh the best thing I've ever
had well would you like to hear some
optimistic
things all
right we're going to start with some
optimistic science and breakthroughs and
we'll get to some
optimistic
politics and then we'll get to our
optimistic holiday coming up everybody
good lots of optimism
all right starting in with uh turns out
that there's a study that shows you uh
there's a paper written by Brandon
bushelon he's an associate professor of
Journalism at the UFA he found that the
uh key drivers of loneliness of course
is not being with people but that you
can solve your loneliness not completely
but it helps a lot to have online
friends so if you don't have any on
online friends and you're lonely you
should try to get some for example you
could join coffee with Scott Adams on
the locals platform Scott adams.
locals.com and for a very small
subscription fee you could get to hang
out with all of us in the band cave
pretty much every night after
dinner and we just hang out and the you
know I didn't start it that way I
started as you know just extra content I
didn't know what it was going going to
be but it turns out that there are so
many lonely people in the world that
just knowing that somebody they
recognize and likes them and is glad
they're there can talk to you almost
every day so uh if you're if you're in
it for the uh reducing your loneliness
you made a good play it's worth the
money all right there's a study from uh
let's see according to the conversation
that's
publication um
the future looks bright um when you're
optimistic so apparently optimism makes
you
healthier did you know that optimism
makes you healthier it
does because if you're optimistic you're
more likely to have a better attitude
and less stress and we know that stress
causes you bad health and uh optimists
are also more likely to do the things
that you're supposed to do to stay
healthy so if you know that eating and
exercising and staying away from bad
stuff is bad for you The Optimist will
actually do that stuff why because I
think it'll
work if you think something's going to
work you're far more likely to do it so
Optimist live
longer so one of the reasons you watch
this show is that I make you more
optimistic I do that intentionally and
it makes you think wait a minute
maybe I could lose weight maybe I could
exercise more maybe I could be smarter
about my vote Yes yes
yes and uh there I think I added uh
about seven minutes to your life just by
that little bit of optimism seven
minutes you're
welcome all right um there's a
University College London study it says
that the language used by mothers
affects the oxytocin levels of in of
infants uh I'm going to give you an
example of that and I'm going to see if
you needed the science to tell you that
the oxytocin would be better under one
scenario than another scenario
one oh what what's that you got there
little Bobby oh blocks oh looks like you
built a you built a little fort is that
what you wanted to do oh good job you
built a little fort nice what are you
gonna do next okay that's one
that's one way now compare this other
style of parenting what the hell have
you got these blocks all over the FL
floor you Blockhead jeez I'm going to
step on one of these and break my ankle
get out of my sight you disgust
me now if you compare those two
parenting Styles which one do you think
is creating a healthier
child that's right maybe you could have
just asked me and not do that study
I'm pretty sure the your oxytocin of
your baby is better if you're nice to
them and you show interest yeah do
that according to the Daily wire there's
a new study that says that life may have
existed on Mars because they found some
rocks that have all the telltale signs
of have been associated with
water so you don't know to need to know
the details but apparently you can look
at a rock and tell if it's been
associated with water in the past
and so they think maybe it is but I have
a
question where does the water
go is that the dumbest question of the
day or the smartest I actually I can't
tell where where does it
go now I
assume somebody's going to say it like
if the uh if the atmosphere can't hold
it in you know if it's not insulated
it'll just go into
space does water go into
space I mean how could it how could it
escape the you know even if it's uh
turns it into
vapor can vapor escape the gravity of
the
planet I'm seeing yes so if we did not
have greenhouse
gases does that mean we would lose the
water on Earth it would just see I
understand
evaporation but evaporation is still a
closed system it doesn't go anywhere
just change its form but does it really
go into space and just keep going I that
the thing I don't
understand is how could it escape
gravity H I got questions I'm not I'm
not sure the that the fast answer is the
right answer is and it's funny that I
don't know the answer to that doesn't
that seem like that would be sort of
common sense like like everybody who had
a good education should be able to
answer the question if Mars once had
water where' to
go I should be able to answer that so
I'm a little embarrassed that I can't
but you know I don't care about
embarrassment all right well the price
of lithium batteries apparently is going
to plunge and keep
plunging um doesn't matter why but
probably just supply and demand but uh
lithium prices will plunge making the
electric cars way more
compatible um
competitive with gas engines because
right now if your battery dies in your
electric
car that's not such a good economic
situation for
you but if the price of the batteries
keeps going down then you could lose
your battery and just say oh well
$55,000 for a new battery it's way
better than a new car so it would be
similar to the price of replacing your
engine so that can change
things on top of that there's a company
radiant which is uh looking to
mass-produce Portable nuclear reactors
starting in
2026 so uh their CEO Doug burnau I guess
had some experience in the Elon musk
world of engineering so it's a serious
person and showed a picture of them so
these these one megawatt nuclear
reactors they look like the size of uh a
bus so basically one of them would be
the size of a bus and you could put more
than one of them next to each other so
you could have one location but you
could have you know a couple of buses
parked next to each other and it' be one
megawatt so you're basically powering a
small City
and they can just it looks like the
entire process would be easy to just
drag one in there and hook it up and
turn it
on do do you realize what a big deal
that would be if this works if they if
they could really make mass produced see
see mass produced is the the key to it
all because mass produced just tells you
it's economical it's easy there'll be
lots of them if they can really so it
looks like they've designed it from the
ground up
with the purpose of being super
safe super cheap and easy to produce and
get
approved what if this
works and OB bet is not the only company
I mean rules Rices in this space
there'll be others this is gigantic it's
one it's one of the biggest things in
Civilization meanwhile Honda has created
some kind of solid state battery that's
going to be 50% smaller according to new
Atlas um so it's it's not important that
Honda has a battery that's way way
better it's just part of this bigger
story that Battery Technology this is
the reason I I give you a battery story
almost every day if you didn't
understand that the entire world of
battery and electrical storage is so
Dynamic right now it almost guarantees
anic breakthroughs because it's just
lots of good science lots of prototypes
lots of money and everybody knows that's
where it has to go I mean you're you're
going to have to get to the point for
sure that we can do electric and store
it and store it economically so
everything's heading in the right
direction that free markets doing it
Elon Musk is a saying the F35 our most
expensive fighter uh jet is maybe not
not as smart as having just lots of
drones I think that's right it does seem
to me that a drone Air Force is both
inevitable and would be superior to um
fighter jets just because you could
cover the sky with drones and probably
stop any fighter jet I would imagine if
he if you had a whole drone like
swarm imagine you could take out a very
expensive jet
without too much trouble now I suppose
there's a height issue maybe that might
be that might be part of
it but he's probably right that we need
to save some money and turn ourselves
into a drone
Force speaking of uh Elon Musk star
Link's uh new system now can connect to
your mobile phone with no extra
equipment or special app so I don't know
exactly what that means but I think you
can take your regular existing phone and
instead of saying I'm using uh one of
the regular phone companies can you now
just select starlink as your
provider or extra provider is it in
addition
to or is it instead of so I don't know
the details of this yet but imagine
having an a phone made by Elon Musk that
actually had real security so the
government couldn't get into it if
that's even possible probably not
possible um but
wow that's a pretty big
deal all right I'm going to make an
announcement Public Announcement are you
ready Public Announcement number one do
not ever follow my stock advice I don't
give advice but because I talk about big
companies publicly you know as part of
what I do every day I feel like it is is
an obligation to you my audience that I
tell you if I make any uh investment
change in a company that I talk about so
you already know that I own stock in
Tesla so if you hear me saying good
things about Tesla what you should say
is oh he probably would have said that
even if he didn't believe it now the
truth is I don't think I would lie to
you about a stock I bought but from your
point of view you should be Skeptics
right you shouldn't assume I everything
I say is true I think it is I have no
reason not to tell you the truth but
your your view should be other people
are always sketchy when it comes to
money doesn't matter who it is just just
assume all other people are a little
sketchy when it comes to your money now
I'm going to tell you what change I made
but I'm going to be really serious about
this next statement don't think it's a
good idea for you do you all get that
cuz what what I'm going to tell you was
probably the worst investment idea you
ever had in your
life I just sold all of my Invidia stock
I had quite a bit now I I'm a recent
buyer of it so I didn't get the you know
the
10,000% gain I got a maybe 75% gain so
75% in less less than a
year and so I sold it now I owe you an
explanation
but again don't take my
explanation as being credible or smart
I'm not really good at investing I'm
seriously not good at there there are
things I do that I do well and I'm happy
to tell you what they are I love to tell
you what my what my good things are this
isn't one of them and what I mean by
that is that there's not really people
who are smart enough to pick individual
stocks
you know if you going to listen to me
you get an index fund all right so
here's my
reasoning but um I'm not confident in it
whatsoever my reasoning goes like this I
believe that the market of people who
can buy these expensive AI devices will
soon be
saturated it's not there yet so there's
still probably plenty of room to grow so
if you if you held yours I would say
probably smart
um but at some
point I think there's going to be a
competitor and I don't know that they
have the the Moes that I would look for
in a company like this for example if
somebody comes up with a more clever
chip and it's
cheaper the entire
Nvidia business model falls apart all at
once because if somebody could do the
same thing and cheaper what do they have
and it does seem to me that um there
should be the highest level of technical
experts would be trying to compete with
Nvidia because Nvidia became the
most uh expensive company in the world
in no time at all so in theory if the
free market is
working then the smartest people in the
world are creating the whatever is the
next technology that they hope will take
over from Nvidia I also Al am worried
that companies are going to start
announcing in the next year or so that
they overspent on
AI and what I mean by that is that they
had high hopes for it solving all their
problems but once they got into it and
they really got deep into it um all they
could do is make apps that they would
try to sell to other people to solve
their
problems but it
doesn't so AI so far is not is not a
technology that solves problems it's a
technology that can people people are
produ ising they're Turing it into
different apps and products and they're
selling it to you to solve your problem
but it's not solving any of your
problems at some point somebody's going
to notice hey looks like we spent
millions of dollars on this and
everything's the
same now there will be special cases
where it works perfectly there'll be
special cases where an AI app will just
replace some people save some money
everybody wins does a better job but I
think they're going to be the
exceptions I think they might be the
exceptions
and I think the AI as an interface might
become a
commodity and that seems to be the only
thing it can do the only thing AI does
consistently is create art which will
have no value
do you know why the art from AI will
have no
value supply and
demand you're going to have infinite
art for no cost you if you already own
the app you can make infinite art so so
it's great that AI makes art but it's
going to make art have no value because
everybody can make infinite art supply
and demand it's obvious so art will have
no value you at least the art that AI
can
make um the in the part where it's
really good at talking to you and
understanding what you're saying and
creating good sentences that will
continue to be
useful but it's going to be a commodity
it'll just be in everything and I can't
believe that that drives invidious
profits where they need to be and then
there's the pattern recognition
stuff which might be great like it can
help with a progr
but so far and I don't see this changing
by the way so far nobody except a
trained programmer can use AI to make a
program am I
right do do you think you with no
training whatsoever and had a program
could go use Ai and make yourself an app
and put it in the market and it's
commercial and everybody buys it I don't
think
so I've never heard of it I don't think
it's happening so I think that a lot of
the interest in
Nvidia is because people are thinking in
terms of
AGI but Nvidia is not in the AGI
business I don't know that they will be
because nobody knows how to make AGI so
there's no Hardware you can make to make
the thing that nobody knows how to
make now you can make little Leo chat
chat Bots and stuff but at the moment
they don't really do much they're just
too Limited
um the battle between Art and Science is
settled I didn't know there was a
battle um there's talk that
saas will collapse because companies can
just generate it with AI again
Owen that's where Common Sense takes you
Common Sense tells you hey this AI
stuff's can replace all these obvious
things that are
suboptimal except that I don't think you
can we're we're not seeing it and and
the fact that AI still hallucinates and
I don't think that's been solved how are
you going to replace your your
SAS with something that hallucinates
because you'll get answers but you won't
know if they're
real so between hallucinating and the
fact that um AI doesn't seem to remember
you and there doesn't seem to be a
technology where I can have my my most
personal stuff I wanted to remember to
be local local and away from the AI
company so that they can't get my good
stuff because my perfect situation is
I've got an AI and it sits on top of
data that only I own and my AI only goes
into it when it needs to but otherwise
it doesn't know anything it it only
knows that has access to the database
that's not
there
so here's a Warren Buffett um reason for
selling a stock if you have a reason for
buying a stock you buy it and if that
reason doesn't change you hold it for me
the reason changed because I like
monopolies so Nvidia is basically a
monopoly right now but I don't see the
moat I don't see how they can stay
one so that's why I changed my
investment but remember I'm terrible at
investing if you follow my lead you'll
probably lose money Invidia is already
up today so if you had followed my
advice yesterday you would already have
lost money so say that as clearly as
possible all right uh Alex Jones is
saying the Sandy Hook was a Bloomberg op
not not the crime itself but rather the
fact that Alex Jones was sued and
basically uh taken down by that
lawfare and he thinks that that was all
funded by
Bloomberg and that he he was behind the
whole thing it looked like it was
organic but it wasn't it was just to get
to Trump so given that Alex Jones was
you know strong voice for trump it was
one way that they could take him out now
do you think that's true this this is
Alex Jones saying that this is new
information that came out so I I guess
the core cases revealed who got funded
for what because here's what I've been
wondering about Sandy
Hook I understand that the parents would
be
disr because somebody in the media said
something about their
situation I get that but why does that
let you sue
somebody where'd that come from like
that doesn't sound organic
take today for example today I'm going
to talk a little later about
fenel and some
changes and when I talk about fenol do
you know that almost every time I
mention it on a somebody will come into
my uh feed and tell me that it's my own
damn fault that my stepson died from a
drug
overdose and that uh he deserved to die
um it's just you know it was it was
getting it was weeding out
you know the ones we don't
need and uh and it goes like that now
how's that make me feel well I'm a
little tougher than the average public
figure so I just usually block them and
say people are terrible it doesn't
bother me a lot I bothers me a little
bit but not a lot
now do I get to sue them do I get to sue
the people on ex who say oh things that
I think are not
true I don't think I should just feels
like their opinion so to me it seems
like Alex Jones had an
opinion which he thought was true nobody
nobody ever I don't think anybody ever
proved that he thought he was
lying can you correct me on that I'll
need a fact check on that there's no
evidence produced anywhere that he
thought he was wrong right now I don't
think he was right I don't I don't think
there was a you know a fake
event but there's no evidence that he
thought he was wrong and he did it
anyway so I never really understood the
lawsuit but now I do now I do it it had
to be funded by some billionaire who
wanted to just take out Alex Jones and
if this is the answer that it was Mike
Bloomberg was the billionaire and he was
taking out Alex
Jones I'm not so sure I want to you know
believe this
completely but if it did turn out that
Michael Bloomberg is behind that God
he's a piece of
if he's really behind this he's a
really piece of I I actually backed
him one time years ago I thought well he
looks like he'd be pretty good national
office because he did good did a good
job in New York but
wow he turned out to be not anything
that I thought he was I'm very
disappointed in
him rasmon has a little poll says that
55% of us voters believe the President
should choose cabinet officers he knows
he can trust compared to 39% who think
it's better to pick ones with
experience I think the Public's getting
it right
again the public is doing a hell of a
job have you noticed that the public
just sort of getting the right answer
lately yeah the majority of the public
seems to be getting the right answer on
all the big questions and this is new I
don't think they were doing this for the
last four years but yes if you have um
cabinet officers that you can't trust it
doesn't matter how experienced they are
in fact you'd want them to be less
experienced CU if you you don't trust
them you don't want them to use all
their experience against you so yes yes
yes loyalty and Trust has to be a higher
than experience it has to be now if it
were not
Trump I might go the other way but we've
seen Time and Time and Time and Time and
Time and Time Again that people come
after Trump in every way they can so if
they stuck any little spy in his
campaign well it's going to be terrible
for him so yes loyalty trust first and
if you have to give up some
experience okay it's not perfect but yes
if you give me that choice I'm going to
take trust over experience now you can't
pick a don't don't give me a total clown
I don't want to clown but if you tell me
that Matt Gates couldn't have done the
job you're wrong you could have if you
if you think that Pete Heth can't do the
job you're wrong
I'm pretty sure he can right now I don't
know character-wise or anything else
about him but but yeah the there there
there are enough permanent people in
every organization to get the basic job
done you just need somebody to handle
the big uh the big ethical questions
basically and he could do that for
sure so uh the o'keef Media grp Group
OMG got some uh new
corporate
guy um in the NIH National National
Institute of Health and uh let's see
it's Raja colan he's the chief of Health
Data
standards uh with a very longer name
I'll stop there so he actually said this
on undercover video I probably shouldn't
be saying this s loud that they might
they might have funded a lab in Wuhan
China and fizer and madna are getting a
bunch of money from all these vaccine
mandates uh he said to the OMG
undercover journalist I quote I don't
even know if these vaccines stop you
from getting covid they don't uh he said
we're all going to learn about the
dangers of covid vaccines when it's too
late yikes uh he said the six feet of
social distancing was not based on any
science it was completely made up um he
thinks that Trump's Victory is worse for
the National Institute of Health it
would be better for a Democrat to be in
office he
said quote we fly under the radar of
really being scrutinized I don't think I
have too much to worry about and then he
and then he says to the undercover
journalist who is recording every every
word on the undercover recording he
realized that if if he is being recorded
in anything he said he's in trouble and
so he finishes his sentence with
that's not recording
right that's not recording right oh yeah
it was recording got every word got
every word Now by now I don't think this
is much of a scoop to know that people
inside these these agencies know that
they were just making up and that
and that greater scrutiny is really bad
for them but he's saying it directly the
Democrats won't scru I
us that's pretty bad to be out
there meanwhile Walmart one of the
biggest Employers in the whole darn
country is going to get rid of its Dei
program and they they basically they're
going to abandon all the woke stuff
they're going to get rid of
controversial products for children and
uh just get get out of all of it and
this is a big win for Robbie Starbuck
who been the activist who's contacting
Walmart specifically and
saying you know just giving you some
warning you're
next BEC because if you get the Robbie
Starbucks
treatment a lot of people on the
internet are going to say whoa whoa
we're going to Target you now what are
you doing there you racist so Walmart's
getting ahead of
it I would say that you well I'm going
to give the credit here to Robbie
Starbuck primarily um this is more of
the Trump effect isn't it this is the
Trump effect because I think if KLA
Harris had won I don't think Walmart
would get rid of
Dei I think they would think oh damn it
we're going to have some problems with
the government if we get rid of it and
we might need the government now and
then big companies all need the
government now and then so I call this a
trump
effect uh you know working its way
through Robbie Starbuck who's doing an
amazing job
so James Carville is not too happy with
John Stewart um so I guess John Stewart
said that uh the identity politics
shouldn't have been the reason that
Harris lost because uh she was not
running on woke identity
politics does that sound right to you
the K Harris was not running on woke and
identity
politics well your common sense might
say well that's crazy that's everything
she was doing but I think John sewer
would say if you actually listened to
her you know what she said during the
campaign she seemed to have walked away
from it because it was sort of a losing
proposition but still she embodied it
from top to bottom Not only was she an
identity pick the most clearly obviously
nobody's trying to hide it identity pick
her boss said I'm picking her because of
she's a black woman identity pick and
then when there could have been some
kind of a process to see if she was the
best pick they got rid of the process to
keep the identity
pick and
then and and we assumed that the
companies would have to keep with Dei if
she had been elected but um James
Carville is not taking any of that
and he said uh quote Bill Mah
um he said he said John Stewart says it
couldn't have hurt because no Democrat
ran on it in order to escape any
responsibility they said that stuff was
never used in
2024 and uh James Carville says you're
wrong it was used in politics if
you have a bad policy you may throw it
away but the other side gets to play
that's right so it didn't matter that
she tried to run away from in the last
you know the closing hours of the
campaign it only mattered that the
Republicans were going to make hay with
it and they did you know the the trans
related commercials especially were
called out so it didn't matter what
Harris
did the Democrats had spent years
creating this environment which the
Republicans had every right to say
there's too much of this and you're
going to get more of it if you elect a
Democrat so yeah you can't run away from
the house you built it's like she built
a house and then she lived inside it and
said I'm not building a house right now
but you're living inside the house I
know but I built it earlier but you
built it but I'm not building it right
now I haven't even mentioned it in two
weeks so yes if you build the house and
you live in
it the Republicans are going to
notice and James Carville is going to
notice that the Republicans noticed he's
not a happy
guy anyway um and according to the
Vigilant
Fox they had some uh news Nation show so
Cuomo had one of the biggest donors for
the Democrats this guy named John Morgan
he's called a mega donor and he thinks
that K Harris's political life is
over because she misused the money that
she was um she got she said it was spent
so recklessly they wasted money on ads
in
Florida so she was running ads in places
that she couldn't
win
interestingly Trump also spent campaign
money in states he couldn't
win so I'm not sure this donor on the
right page because the reason Trump did
it I think is that he thought he had a
good chance based on internal polling of
winning the Electoral College but his
mandate would only be useful if he also
won the popular vote so you go to States
like New York and California he couldn't
possibly win but if he could gather up
some votes from people who had a low
propensity to vote maybe he get the
popular vote and he did so why why would
Trump's strategy that
worked not work for Harris if she
advertised in Florida because she just
wanted to you know boost her her to
total
numbers I think we have to figure out
who are the smart people here because
the mega donor sounds like he doesn't
understand how the campaign works now
I'm not defending Harris I'm just saying
that you can't have an article that says
going to the states you're going to lose
is brilliant if you're Trump but going
to the states you're going to lose is a
bad idea if you're KL Harris because
that's what's out there like it can't be
both a good idea and a bad idea at the
same time
so I don't know maybe maybe the argument
is that her internal poll showed she
wasn't going to win the swing States so
don't work on the the don't work on the
popular vote if you're not even going to
win the swing States but we don't know
what her internal poll said and neither
does he so I don't know uh meanwhile
California it turns well it's a
California story do you think it's going
to be
positive it's like California just tries
to come up with what's the dumbest
thing we can do to show that
we're not like even serious about fixing
anything
so uh they've dropped the uh EV
incentive there was some tax incentive
for building EVS in California but did
you know there's only one company that
builds an eeve in California it's called
Tesla yeah it's just an anti- Tesla law
why why would you why would a state just
come up with an anti- Tesla law just
because musk is working productively
with Trump
now I tell you there it feels like
there's not anything that California
does that isn't just absolutely
up like we need to get rid of our
leadership so much I mean I mean it's
just so bad it's embarrassing I don't
get embarrassed but if I
did this would do it
anyway it looks like Trump will have
persevered through all of his uh lawfare
odds as he likes to say he's persevered
and you if you don't know let's see Jack
Smith is uh dropping all of his claims
and I guess that keeps them alive should
they want to re reup them after he gets
out of office which is a messed up thing
to do if you're going to drop him and
he's a certain age you should you know
drop them in a way that they're not
coming back so kind of messed up that
they'd keep that risk over his head but
uh this so the the stuff that got
dropped is the 2020 election
interference and the classified document
case so Trump still has the 34 felonies
or whatever they are for his New York
City lawfare trial where the
bank made him a good loan and got paid
back and they were happy so he's a felon
because he did what everybody does when
they get a loan with property he
overstated the value of the loan knowing
that the lender would check it on their
own and the only thing that mattered is
what the lender checked anyway
so I'd love to get for him to get rid of
these 34 felonies just so people don't
have to say it
anymore the rumor is that cash Patel
will be named FBI director post
Millennials talking about this is still
in the rumor phase unless it happened
this morning I guess um what do you
think of that is that going to happen
now I don't know a ton about cash
Patel uh I only know this Trump never
leaves cash on the table
boom I've been telling you that for
years he never leaves cash on the table
he always picks it up and here we are
with cash
Patel so uh if if I judge from just the
videos I've seen
of his uh ability to talk in public and
answer the right questions and have the
right opinions and see things through
the right frame seem strong so um my
first impression is
strong um according to the National
pulse uh recruitment in the military is
sharply up and they think it's because P
hagath got nominated and apparently if
you're the anti- Dei person people want
to get into the military again and if
you're the anti-war person uh that's too
strong but it's part of the you know the
Trump World is anti-war let's say so if
you think there's fewer chances you'll
be killed and more chances you'll be
promoted and fewer chances you'll be
treated like garbage for some Dei
reason I would say that would make sense
that people would be signing up to be in
the military makes sense
meanwhile here's more uh maybe Trump
effect the
IDF is looking to wrap up their uh their
military missions in U in Lebanon and
they want to get everything uh wrapped
up um in the next 60 days because after
that Trump's going to be in office and
he's going to wrap it up for him so
there's the Trump effect so the Trump
effect seems
to um have increased and increased
people joining the
military and it seems to have
simultaneously decreased the odds that
there will be a World War once he's in
charge so that's pretty
good meanwhile here's more Trump effect
the uh the Haitians that were uh very
numerous in Springfield and caused the
meme about eating the cats and dogs
which as far as I know is not not based
on any ser serious
reality but uh apparently a lot of the
Haitians that were in Springfield are
self- deporting because they think that
Trump's election would put them in
Jeopardy if they stay there and maybe
they're
right so you've got you've got Ukraine
and Russia waiting for Trump
obviously you've got Israel waiting for
Trump obviously you've got the Haitians
waiting for Trump obviously and they're
all correcting
and then you see people joining the
military because of
trump stock market is
up because Trump's
coming do you notice the
pattern it's almost everything is better
almost
everything and to me the funniest reason
that the uh Democrats can't figure out
what they did
wrong is that it was
everything from top to bottom there
wasn't a single thing if you just if you
go head to-head what did Trump's
campaign do and what did c commus
campaign do
head-to-head Trump was
extraordinary but on every Dimension
except one which was raising the most
money kamla failed so she raised the
most money but apparently she used it so
poorly that it ruined her future in
politics so the raising the money you
don't get credit for if you wasted it
and it destroyed your hope of ever being
in politics
again so that's that's again Trump
raised less money and underspent it and
won a landslide who handles money better
duh right so on every single Dimension
from communication to policies to
strategies to you know money used
productively Trump everything
every every single thing and you know
even if you look at the
media even though the media the know the
so-called mainstream media was strongly
in favor of Harris they themselves did
such a bad job that people lost trust in
the media and the
candidate so I've never seen anything
like it the the media became essentially
part of the
campaign so when the campaign lost the
media lost the same
amount the their their uh traffic just
went through the floor it's because the
public saw them as just the campaign we
we don't need the heis campaign anymore
that's what you were so don't need to
watch you
anymore well according to a Gallup
survey 86% of Republicans and Republican
leaning Independents say they're
optimistic because of Trump's election
86%
of people who lean right are
optimistic but how about the people who
lost 76% of Democrats uh said they were
afraid as a reaction to the
election they feel angry and
devastated do you remember the story I
told you earlier in the live stream here
that people who are optimistic live
longer and they're more
successful they're healthier
I can actually feel
this like the the level of optimism that
I've seen and also experienced and other
people that I interact with is so high
that I would be amazed if it's not good
for our health I I feel like my health
was suppressed for four years and now
now suddenly I just feel great when I
wake
up every morning I wake up feeling great
and I don't think that was the same
it just feels
different so I I guess I feel bad for
the Democrats because they're uh they're
affecting their own health at this
point
um apparently uh don Jr's making making
some uh provocative news he's suggesting
that the White House is considering
instead of doing the press releases
where you've got all the mainstream
media asking stupid questions that
nobody cares about and not getting
answered that they might they might
replace at least some of the Press Room
with Independence and they you they use
Joe Rogan as an example Blaze media is
writing about this by the
way um and uh Don John Jr seems to be
confirming that this is at least at
least a serious
discussion now um my idea was to have a
rotating press secretary
this is better you remember I told you
that the uh sometimes brain
brainstorming is about the bad
idea because the bad idea might make you
think of the good
one here I can see that mine was the bad
one so the bad idea was to get the
celebrity if you will to just do the job
of standing in front and trying to
represent the president but since the
celebrity would not be as informed and
you know maybe they wouldn't take that
seriously and you know maybe it would
look too much like a joke and people
would say get back to being serious so
that was my idea and they has some warts
on it but it would possibly it would
possibly make you think of the idea well
wait instead of changing the press
secretary why don't we change the people
asking the
questions oh now we're good that's way
better than my idea it's way better now
I'm not saying that my
idea led to that idea but I'm just
saying it could have like in in the real
world that's a normal way things could
happen um so that's why the bad idea is
such a good idea because it leads to
good
ideas so I'd love to say this now I
don't I don't think they need to get rid
of all the major media but if you stuck
in some Independence and actually got
them to ask some
questions I would love that
because my biggest thing with the press
conferences I they don't always ask the
right questions but you put the
independence in there and they will so
love
that all right here's a story that's
sort of close to my
heart um as you know my stepson died of
a fenel overdose in
2018 and I have been very vocal about
what we should do about it and very
anti-china and anti- Mexico Etc and
during Trump's first term um I had great
optimism that he would make something
happen in that domain he did not he did
not and it's one of my biggest
disappointments now later my take on it
was there wasn't anything you could
do because unless you're going to attack
China they just will just keep doing
what they're doing sending their
precursors to Mexico and unless you
militarily attacked Mexico
the cartels will just keep doing what
they're doing and they're all making
money so if they're all making money and
the only thing you could do is threaten
to attack them then you've done
nothing turns out Trump doesn't like to
lose and he definitely lost on fenel and
they definitely made him look like a
chump let me say that directly China
made Trump look like a
chump by promising to do it and doing
nothing nothing to stop fenel and
Mexico has a little explaining to do too
I mean the cartels are the primary
pushers of it so apparently he's decided
that that's not going to go down this
way this time so here are the things
he's announced so
far um he's Trump is going to put a big
tariff on both Canada and Mexico because
they're not doing enough to control
their borders partly because of fenel
so he's just going to he's just
basically going to take trade out of it
now hold on hold on uh I'm waiting for
the NPCs to rush into the comments and
say
Scott Scott don't you understand how
tariffs work don't you understand that
tariffs are paid by the American the
American company that want to buy it why
do you not understand how terrorists
work you can't threaten Canada because
it's really just coming out of the
pockets of the the American
companies okay you're totally
wrong if you did one tariff that
affected one American company yeah it
just be coming out of the American
company's pocket if you do a broad
tariff about all their
goods you're going to start finding that
the market starts to adjust to that so
what you're playing for is the market
adjustment so suddenly somebody in
America who didn't think they could
compete might say wait a minute if I
make it here it's going to be 20%
cheaper than Canada oh wow it's a new
market so the long game is that Trump is
telling you you know your car market
we're going to put you on a business the
whole the whole industry we're just
going to take it out if if you don't
cooperate same with Canada you you like
selling your I don't know what they sell
milk and butter or
whatever do you like that Arrangement
where we buy your Farm Goods okay in uh
9 months we're not going to buy any of
your farm Goods because they'll be
priced out of
consideration so is it true that Canada
is not the one paying for the tariffs
yes the company that the American
company that wanted to import it or the
customer basically pays for it but the
reason you do the Tariff is so people
will stop buying it and they'll look for
another source so in the short run is it
just a tax on uh consumers and is it
just a um a cause of
inflation yes we all understand that are
we on the same page now are the NPCs
happy that everybody understands that in
the short run the American company pays
for it so you're not you're not charging
China or Canada or
Mexico however if you commit to that
being your long-term situation you take
the entire Market away from those
countries and they're not going to put
up with that because they need to sell
cars and they need to sell
so it's a it's a negotiating
tool and it's a good
one so he's basically told Canada and
Mexico uh you're our most important
trading partners but it's not going to
stay that way because you're not doing
the basics you you're not controlling
the Border and you're not controlling
the cartels you're not doing the basics
so if you want to be our long-term
trading partner we're going to change
that
long-term short term it'll cost us some
more money longterm every one of
you longterm you're all dead and
we don't even need to do a thing for you
so you need to do this now here's what
I've said I've said this about China and
fenol that we should close our
embassies if China if you promise you're
going to stop the fenel precursor trade
and you don't do a thing we
should withdraw our Embassy and say look
this is the price of talking you do this
first because this is not
negotiable right they're acting like
it's negotiable no killing 50,000
Americans a year is not
negotiable you got to do that before we
have anything to do with you now of
course we have so much business with
them that you can't do quickly but if
you start giving them a general 20%
tariff they're going to get the idea
that in the long run you're
because you can't do this it's the
opening it's basically the ticket to the
show get rid of f Fentanyl and you can
be in the
show if you don't get rid of fentanyl we
will squeeze you until there's nothing
left cuz you got to start there
first that's what
I think Trump's doing so he makes a
phone call to the new president of
Mexico and suddenly uh the Calo cartel
is killing fentin makers themselves and
he's saying he's
GNA so the even the cartels are Tred to
get out of the business faster than the
government wants them to I think and uh
Trump basically says he's going to
release uh us knowledge about the
Mexican government government being
owned by the cartels unless they do what
he says to which I say yes now that's a
serious
play please stop sending Sentinel that's
not
serious but we're we're going to take
you out that's serious he's basically's
threatening the government of Mexico
that he's going to take him out of power
because that's what would happen if he
released the information about the
cartels now that's serious and then he
says he's also going to send the Special
Forces down to basically just kill all
the all the cartel assets and put them
out of business now will he I don't know
he will if he needs
to so I'll say that if he needs to yes
he will 100% chance you know there's
some things I say that Trump won't do
like deporting 20 million people I don't
don't think he's going to do that but
would he use the Special Forces if they
ignore him
again I think he would take out the
government and then he'd send in the
special forces and just mow along
because I think he's
done he's second term and he's done I I
think this is the most humiliating thing
that ever happened to him in office I
think China and Mexico humiliated him by
ignoring him basically and now he's
going to say you can do what you want
but I'll tell you what you're not going
to do is enjoy it do whatever you want
you're not going to enjoy it and you're
really going to be wishing you hadn't
done it
so that's the current situation that's
the Trump
effect so China would get an extra 10%
on top of the tariffs that he wants to
give them for other stuff if fentel is
still shipped to
Mexico all right now I watched a video
um that Patrick Bet David had in which
he was talking to an author of a book
which describes allegedly her um group
in as
a sex spy in an elite satanic pedo
ring
now if if this is the first you've heard
of this Elite satanic pedophile ring
running the
world your your reaction should be the
same as
mine that's probably not true I mean
there's probably not
a this is where I've been for most of my
life
I don't think there's an elite pedophile
ring running the world there certainly
there are Elite
pedophiles that's definitely true
because you they pedophiles in every
every domain so some of them are going
to be
elite but I didn't think they were
organized and I didn't think they
actually ran the world I just thought oh
well some rich people doing some heinous
crimes that's not a big surprise
but are they
organized and actually running the
world
well um if you've seen the video and I
recommend it you can find it pretty easy
Patrick B David uh the
pbd broadcast and it just happened so
you can find it pretty easily I want you
to look at it but I want you to do the
following
experiment turn on your BS indicators to
maximum and then watch that whole thing
and see if your BS meter gets
tripped because mine was edged like
crazy but it didn't
trip you know if you know what I mean
like my my BS meter was
going and it was all it was ready to go
into the red where where I was ready to
say all right none of this is true this
can't be
true and then it was over
it never went into the
red it had all kinds of signals all
kinds of signals that I was like H I
don't know I'm not so sure I believe
that never got into the red I sure
expected it to so uh so take this as a
lesson I'm trying to determine
BS I'm going to tell you what what was
starting to trigger me and then I'll
tell you why it didn't all right the
first trigger is it's too extraordinary
and to on the
nose because it just sounds like
a it sounds like an
Infowars episode just to on the nose
we've been we keep hearing about the
elite satanic pedophile rings so so the
first thing against it is two on the
nose it would be a good way to sell a
book the next thing is that the
documentary effect this is this one's
important I talk about this a lot if you
see a documentary that makes one claim
and never shows you the other side or
you don't even know if there is another
side it will be persuasive almost every
time because otherwise you wouldn't even
see it they're going to make the thing
and if it's not persuasive they won't
put it out there and if they do put it
out there and it gets any attention it's
because it's persuasive
so yeah and I always use the uh the
Michael Jackson uh documentaries as my
example there's there's a documentary
that says oh Michael Jackson definitely
did terrible things with children then
there's another documentary says this is
obviously all made up and here's the
reasons that it's all made up they are
both 100% convincing and they can't both
be true it can't be true that it
happened and true that it didn't happen
but they are 100% convincing you you
have to go through this experiment or
you won't understand the world if you
don't watch both of them it it should be
easy to find them you just Google find
out the the two Michael doc Michael
Jackson
documentaries that's the way
documentaries
work I still love documentaries but to
imagine that you're hearing the
truth that's probably the rarest thing
that probably a documentary is always
you know spun in One Direction or
another so
you've got the two on the nose and then
you've got the documentary effect which
you shouldn't trust in
general and then there's one person
talking and I'm not hearing from anybody
else but she referenced she referenced a
knowledge of a wide number of other um
victims that were victimized exactly the
way she was but we didn't hear from
them so again that's that's another red
flag if even one other person person had
said yes here's the video I made
everything she says is true I was there
at the same time
Etc I don't know then there was the
names that she she mentioned so she
acted like it was not her intention to
name names but pbd got her to do it
pretty easily the first name she
mentioned was uh and again so that I
don't get sued I'm I'm not accepting
that this is true I'm not accepting that
it's false I'm saying I can't tell so
the none of these are my claims and I
don't want to be responsible for them
but her claim is that when she was six
years old she was basically sold to
David
Rockefeller and from like the age of six
to nine she was brainwashed and trained
to be a sex slave at that age actual sex
slave at that age and
they were trying to make her he was
trying to make her a celebrity in France
so that she would be sort of a
manufactured singer celebrity because
apparently he thought he had the clout
to do that and that she would then
therefore get into sexual trist with
famous people because she would be
famous and then politicians Etc and then
he and his pedophile Network allegedly
would be able to control the World by
having the right kind of black m Assets
in
place now that's the sort of story that
you know pbd did a great job I thought
asking enough details so if she couldn't
give you any details you'd say hey hey
why aren't you giving me more details
one of the questions was she said that
she didn't know he that that was David
Rockefeller until he
died which was well after she was a
child
so she so her claim is that she spent
years going from house to house for in
David rockefeller's care he basically
was like a I know the guardian or
something for a while and that she never
heard the name
Rockefeller she only called him David
and it never occurred to him who he
was now pbd showed some
skepticism as in really I mean nobody
else mentioned the
name at all
like that doesn't sound credible she
somewhat angrily pushed back that she
was a
child and that it in and that of course
she knew who kennedies were not
kennedies of course she knew who the
Rockefellers
were uh when she became an adult but it
never connected to her that the guy
named David was a Rockefeller until he
died and she saw his picture it was like
holy hell that was a Rockefeller
does that sound real that one's hard to
believe right that's hard to believe but
is it impossible to
believe it's not
impossible it's not impossible it's hard
to believe so I would say
that's it's one little check in the box
that says H it's two on the nose I don't
hear another
witness uh you now it's starting it's
starting to be a little shaky right and
then pbd asked another great question he
said how in the world could you at the
age of nine or whatever be hanging
around with this you know
adult
and uh hanging around with this adult
and nobody asked any questions and it
wasn't obvious what your role was and
and she said yes you know there were two
of the servants in one of the houses who
were fully aware of what was going on
she assumed
and so pbd asks like like why did you
think they knew what was going on and
she looks at him and she
says they saw us in
bed and that just killed
me apparently they were servants the
kind who would bring you something while
you were still in bed and her claim was
that they would come in and do just do
their work and they were very nice to
her but that she would be in with him
and it would be obvious why she was in
bed and apparently they had been well
vetted or well
paid and they just rolled with it do you
believe
that do you believe that two
servants could be co-opted to keep their
mouth shut about
that coming into his room and seeing him
in bed with a
9-year-old does that sound true
it does because you can get people to do
anything yeah yeah unfortunately that's
not much of a that's not much of a hit
on on The credibility at all because if
any of this exists if any of it's real
it requires lots of people to do
things that unfortunately people
do now her take was that this is
definitely
satanic um that that the whole thing at
is
satanic kind of structure to it but then
not all the people involved were satanic
Believers so some of them literally were
doing performances and to set to get
sell their soul to Satan others were
just sort of going along with the Satan
thing because they were just
pedos now that part sounded
real because there's a Nuance there it's
like yeah no they weren't all satanists
but they were willing to act like it if
it helped them
so I thought hm that does sound real the
the the story where she said that they
saw her in bed that sounded real to me
because that was a
detail and if she were lying it would
have been smarter to say something like
oh he we made sure that nothing happened
in front of anybody that would be like a
normal lie but to say that no they came
in and saw us in bed that's a detail
and it doesn't sound like one you made
up now here's the big she also named a
couple other people now because it's
it's already a public thing I'll mention
them she accused Justin Trudeau's father
who was the boss in Canada at the time
of using her
services that use a PTO but that his
specific um his specific preference was
actually murdering
children so that she couldn't satisfy
him because she wasn't there to be
murdered that's a lell of a claim so I'm
not going to give you my opinion whether
that's true or not that's one person's
claim she claims that Rockefeller had to
take her to meet with a Roth's child to
ask permission for his plan to groomer
into a super sex spy and she said that
the rth child guy whoever it was uh was
not a pedo but he was definitely somehow
in charge of the world so he he was the
one who had to tell um Rockefeller that
he could do his plan but how did she
know that that guy was not a
pedo well maybe he just didn't express
it in her case I don't
know
then the part that bothers me the most
in terms of The
credibility is that she talked about
recovered memories a lot as in I didn't
remember this but then I remembered it I
didn't remember it then it came
back that is the biggest tell for
hypnosis and fake
memory generally speaking I would not
take anybody serious who said they had a
recovered
memory because recovered memories aren't
real for the most part so there's a fine
line between oh suddenly I got a
recovered memory that somebody did
something bad at me those are usually
not
real but if your regular memory captured
most of it but maybe you suddenly
remembering some
details maybe maybe but the all the
recovered Memories the ones that came to
or
later uh that is a
gigantic signal for not being true it's
not a signal that she's
lying because she did not put off a tell
of
lying she looks like she believes what
she's saying but there could be two
explanations one is false memory which
is very common by the way and the other
is that is real and she just some things
were so terrible that she forgot them
until it came
back now I'll tell you the scariest part
the scariest part believe believe it or
not there's something worse um the
scariest part is that she said she was
given some German guy uh in Germany and
stayed there to be
brainwashed and that the way she was
brainwashed is that he would choke her
to
unconsciousness and say look at this
face so that she would that she would um
associate his face with being choked to
death and that was just one of the
things he did so apparently torturing
her so so they would give her a test of
seeing if they could recognize
somebody's sexual preference by looking
at their face which is of course
something a human can't do with
regularity maybe you can get some of
some of the time so it looked like it
was a test that was set up to make sure
that she couldn't do well on it and then
the reason for that is that they could
choke her or torture her and then
associate themselves as a tortures now
the reason for that was that she would
be frightened to death of these people
because if you do it when she's young
this is this is what they call the I
call it the Indian uh elephant training
trick yeah if you've ever seen a an
Indian elephant trainer you'll see him
sometimes with a big stick and he'll be
like whing on the elephant and the
Elephant will just be like oh oh sorry I
didn't mean that okay okay all right all
right all right and you say to yourself
wait a minute that elephant could just
grab that little guy and just pound him
into the dust if he wanted to why
doesn't he and the answer is that the
little guy trained the elephant when it
was a baby so he beat the elephant when
it was a baby and then the elephant grew
up and didn't realize that it had power
over the little little guy it just
thought the little guy still could beat
it up so they basically they use the
Indian elephant trick on a
child to hurt her she
claimed um and Associate that hurt with
not not getting things right for them so
it just became like
programming
now here's the problem with that if she
were not an expert in
Persuasion she would not be able to
explain um so well
the most effective and dark form of
persuasion you'll ever hear in your life
so everything she said about how that
works
track they
tracked doesn't mean it happened I can't
say that happened or didn't happen I
don't know but it all fit together and
that would have been really hard to do
for somebody who hadn't been through it
they they wouldn't even know how if I
had asked you hey um just just describe
how to brainwash somebody to become a
sex
slave and then I said how do you do that
how many of you would come up with
choking them to
unconsciousness while giving them a test
that you knew they were going to get a
lot of wrong answers to who would have
come up with
that right that'd be hard to come up
with that if you were just using your
common sense she seems like she knew
about something like having been there
and
uh so I'll tell you I so I'll I'll
reiterate I couldn't tell if it was
real it's certainly in the category of
things that could be completely made up
because she's making money for a
book she she had a mother that
apparently had severe mental illness
could be genetic but it could have been
something that just messed her up by the
things happened in her life probably she
was sexually trafficked
probably um but maybe she added things
to the
story that's what the the memory stuff
would be it would be there was something
bad no doubt about it but
maybe maybe the story got bigger because
she was a child children can imagine
things in detail and and and then think
that they were true all their life and
never never experienced them
so I don't know I I'm solidly right on
the the fine line between this is real
and this is not real I can't tell so I I
give this just as an example of what to
look for this is a rare case where if
you look for everything and you can even
identify the things you should have F
found you still can't tell so this one
really has me my brain is scrambled on
this one I I'm usually
confident I'm not right 100% of the time
but I'm usually confident in a case like
this if somebody was lying like that I
could tell if they're lying I can't tell
this this one's a
Puzzler well there's another study that
says that uh in According to some NC
study um they looked at trainings from
people like ibam kendi and Robin
D'Angelo who were part of that woke
white people are bad part of the world
and uh they wanted to see if anti-racism
training made people more
anti-racist what do you think
happened Scott's rich guy fetish is
annoying well am I supposed to talk
about people who didn't do
anything so I'm pretty sure that the guy
who's doing doge is more interesting
than your Gardener Al your Gardener is a
fine guy and there's nothing I have
nothing against your Gardener but if you
think I'm going to do the show and talk
about your Gardener instead of
interesting people who are doing
massively important things to to the
world well you're an
idiot so go troll somebody
else anyway they found that the
anti-racism training surprise made
people more racist do you know how they
could have saved some money on this
study yes they could have just asked me
how would I have known that anti-racism
study would make people more
racist same way you did it's the most
obvious thing in the world if you make
somebody think of things in a certain
frame they will wait for it think of
things in a certain frame if you tell
people well your environment is full
fill of racism look there's some there's
some there's some let's talk about some
tonight let's let talk about something
at your job let's talk about it when you
go home let's talk about it if you fill
your head with the idea that racism is
everywhere and it's coming to get you
what are you going to see in the real
world racism everywhere coming to get
you you didn't have to do a study of
course it made things worse of course it
did and it's also um the opposite
postive
optimistic oh your systemic racism can
never be fixed all white people are
racists what could you do so no it was
obvious that the more you make people
think about racism the more racist
they'll be which brings us back to the
wisest thing that uh what's his name
actor who plays
God uh who's the actor with the who's
the black actor who about 85 now and he
always plays
god what the hell is his name you know
who I'm talking about there's a little
lag in the comments so you'll tell me in
a
second um I'll tell you what he said and
then you'll remember who it is Morgan
Freeman thank you thank you so Morgan
Freeman was asked maybe it was on 60
Minutes many years ago uh what do you do
about racism like how do you address it
and he says stop talking about it
just just stop talking about it just let
everybody be
people and the first time you hear that
you say to yourself well that's a easy
thing for an actor to say who hasn't
really he hasn't put in the work you
know he hasn't research the literature
that's easy for you to say just well
just talk oh you've already made your
money oh great you've made your money so
you don't have to worry about it but but
the rest of us should just stop talking
about it right just stop talking about
it well turns out he was exactly
right the talking about it is what makes
it a
problem I do believe the systemic racism
is
real of course it
is of course it is but I also believe
that if you act like it's real you're
going to
yourself if you act like it's not real
or that it's not going to stop you if it
is real you'll do fine it's the thinking
is real that is the problem it's not
even the racism cuz if you acted like
you didn't even know it existed you'd
end up like zubie he's got a great
life zubie just pretends it doesn't
exist and for him it doesn't if you if
you've watched him all of his
interactions you know what kind of
people are drawn to
him it it's not like 100% black people
it's just you know a full uh you know a
full compliment of just people and why
is that because he he is very
consistent and saying that he's not
being discriminated against but is he I
don't know maybe maybe in some small way
that I'm not aware of but if you act
like you're not you're not that that
will be your reality even
if technically speaking you are being
systemically you know somehow
damaged just act like you're not and
that's how you get past
it so just could have asked me about
that
one all
right um I saw a uh hypothesis and this
was on the X account Foundation
father Foundation dads that's the
account and he's talking about an Oxford
Anthropologist who has this named JD
Unwin oh what a terrible last
name his last name is spelled un n w i n
so instead being a
winner use JD
Unwin oh that's so sad terrible last
name anyway um he's uh smart and he's
studied 86 societies and civilizations
to see why they collapsed and he says
that within three generations of sexual
debauchery your civilization will
collapse so we've got like maybe half
half a generation left because we're
already in this sexual debauchery now
the way he defines
it is if your country um
values virginity until
marriage and then value staying together
after marriage even if it's not easy
then your Society will Thrive and that
would be the United States and say the
50s um you know pretty much that model
but he says that once people say I don't
need to give get married or to be a
virgin I want to just go have some fun
that what what happens then is you
basically fall apart and that's where
America is right now
now here's my take on that because you
need some
optimism today's optimism
day that pattern is very clear but we
don't know what is cause and what is
effect is is bad management of the
government the reason that families fall
apart and therefore there's more you
know more uh sexual what perversions or
whatever uh I sure that I don't I don't
think they got this cause and effect
right see if if the government did not
make it easier to get
divorced wouldn't people stay together
unhappily but they stay together if the
government did not have a way to keep
you
alive unless you got
married doesn't that create more single
people so I'm not sure it's the people
change and then that collapses the
government it seems to me that the
government changes and says yeah go do
your thing and then when you go do your
thing um everything falls
apart because you can't replace you
can't replace people and you know the if
the family unit falls apart you get more
get more bad children out of that who do
bad things so here's the good news I
think that the United States in the
current the current time has the ability
to do something like Doge and something
like electing president Trump and
something like sending reusable Rockets
into space we are sort of in a place
where the things that never worked
before could be made to work
that doesn't mean it will be so I'd keep
an eye on this you know virginity
marriage thing is probably important but
we do have the ability to say how about
you add a
robot how about uh nobody gets a
financial benefit from getting a
divorce how about uh the children who
have the most likely chance of you know
contributing get raised by a group of
people plus their parents so that you
would never let anybody just have bad
parents if they had bad parents you'd
make you'd say wait you've got a good
kid that seems to have potential but
I've got you know one bad parent or two
bad parents so we're going to we're
going to layer on top of that a lot of
contact with some high functioning
successful people so that that kid can
get some good good advice too so you
could imagine and I'm not saying I've
got the right ideas for it but you could
imagine imagine that we're smart enough
and we have enough different kinds of
options and resources that we could find
a way around it in a way that no Society
had ever done in the history of humanity
because we've done that a bunch of
times right by now we should have run
out of oil but we figured it out by now
we should have run out of food but we
figured out how to make fertilizer and
you know GMOs and stuff
so uh we we may be at a point where we
can engineer our way out of things that
would have destroyed any prior
civilization and I say that also because
of
communication today um there aren't that
many cities that are brought that are
like major cities that just
disappear because those major cities
have communication with all the other
cities in the world so if their prices
of real estate goes down enough then
people who communicate with them around
the world say wait what's the house cost
in
Detroit really $25,000 and I could have
my own house it's a lot of crime you say
well it's still worth it for that cheap
house so as long as you have
communication and a free
market most cities can decline but then
they'll decline to the point where
they're a good value and then there's a
chance they can come back now that would
never be the case in Ancient Ancient
World if you start started losing your
food source well you're screwed what are
you going to do about it ship more food
in from China nobody's shipping any food
anywhere so you're just going to die or
or let's say a uh uh the Mongols come in
and they want to burn your city and
destroy it well we're watching that you
know um Gaza is being completely
destroyed but it's still going to be
there in 20 years probably because when
the
winds down it's probably a place that
they're going to rebuild so and probably
most of the same people will be there so
I don't know if the the situation exists
where entire cities or civilizations can
disappear I think they'll
morph but they're more likely to find a
solution to whatever their biggest
problem is than any time in
history uh the seed of Satan down below
didn't see that
all right so as far as I can tell
everything's going our
way um it's hard to see the exceptions
to
that
um and um that's all I got for you today
everything's going your way I think the
economy is going to do better I think
the government debt is going to get
under control I think robots are coming
it's all looking good all right I'm
going to go talk to the locals people
privately for a little minute they get
some special time and thanks for joining
