Episode 2973 CWSA 09/29/25

Come on in.

It is great to see you.

Grab a beverage, grab a seat, and get ready for well, you know.

You know, stocks are up a little bit.

All right, good for us.

Let me get your comments working and then I'll feel like we're ready.

Come on in.

Pull up a chair.

Oh, cat.

The things you knock on the floor.

All right, we'll leave it there for now cuz you'll just knock it over again.

Pretty sure.

No, don't eat all the Kleenex.

All right.

Well, I'll clear I'll clean that up later.

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 try to elevate your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains.

All you need for that is a copper mug or a glass, a tankerstein, a candy jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparallel pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.

Go.

So good.

All right.

If you haven't already seen it, uh there was a surprise podcast yesterday afternoon.

Um Greg Gutfeld and Dr.

Drew were uh in the area for other business and uh we decided to get together and we did a uh special podcast with the three of us in my kitchen and people are saying they like it.

So, you might want to check that out.

It's on the usual platforms.

Wherever you watch this show, it will also be there from yesterday.

Well, let's see if there's any science that didn't need to happen because you couldn't just ask me.

Eric Nolan of Scypost is writing about affection deprivation.

Deprivation may explain why fubbing.

Have you ever heard of that?

Fubbing.

P H U BB I N G.

Apparently, fubbing is when you look at your phone when you should be being social.

So, if you're in a relationship, but you spend too much time on your phone in front of your um partner, you are fubbing.

I never heard of that until today.

Anyway, so apparently uh can you believe it that when people fub in front of them uh the person who's getting fubbed on if if that's if that's right, I don't know if that's the way to say it.

The person getting fubbed on um will not be happy and not feel it's a good relationship.

Did you really need to do that that study?

You could have come to me and said, "Scott, how would you feel if your date pulled out her phone and started paying attention to the phone instead of you?

How would you feel?" I'd say, "Well, not ideal." And then they'd say, "We're going to do a study to see if other people would feel the same way." I'd say, "Whoa, slow down there.

Slow down.

You don't need to do that study.

They will feel the same.

I promise you.

Save some money." All right.

Well, there's something going on with comedian Theo Vaughn.

Apparently, he was recording a comedy show at the Beacon Theater.

And uh after the show, he said something that got caught on camera.

He said it to the the audience as he was interacting with them um personally.

And uh he said, "I'm having a long month.

I'm trying not to take my own life.

Wow.

Now, he did not say it with a big old smile on his face.

He kind of said it like that was real.

So, Theo, we're all going to send you some positive vibes.

Hope whatever it is that's plaguing you this month uh gets worked out.

I didn't realize that um separate from this story, I noticed that Theo's um audience size for his podcast is enormous.

Did you know that?

You know, I knew he was doing really well and that he's one of the big ones, but his audience is enormous now.

So, good for you, Theo.

Um I hope everything works out.

Well, as you know, Oregon doesn't want Trump to send in his military to take care of all the uh alleged unrest and crime, but uh it's going to happen anyway, I think.

And Oregon is going to try to sue him to stop it.

C, could you get your head out of the Kleenex box?

Find find something else to play with.

All right.

Um, so anyway, so that's happening and uh, so there's a little bit of a fake news kind of element to this and I don't know which way it goes.

I don't know which part's the fake part, but uh, the officials in Oregon and some people who live there say, "What problem?" There's no problem.

Look, look how great everything is.

And they'll show you video of walking through the streets and everything looks peaceful and happy.

And then uh you talk you talk to anybody on the right and they've got different videos just look awful.

So I actually don't know.

I don't know if oregon is any worse than it ever was.

I can't tell.

I'm guessing it probably is.

Otherwise they wouldn't bother sending in the military.

But there you go.

Well, Trump sent out two truths, you know, from Truth Social that honestly don't look like he sent them.

So, I'm waiting to see if there's more to this story because neither of them would be really something he would post online.

One of them looks like it's an entirely AI made thing where even, you know, he's talking, but it looks like just AI voice.

Uh, this sounds like him, but it's AI.

and uh it was announcing something called medbed, some kind of medical card that he was announcing, which isn't real.

So, we don't know why he sent that around when it doesn't seem to be real.

It's not something that anybody's doing and it's not that funny.

It wasn't funny and it wasn't real.

So, is it possible he thought it was real?

I don't think so because it was talking about what he was doing and he's not doing that.

There's no medbed guard as far as I can tell.

But he sent that around which made me think maybe somebody else had access to his account.

And then also yesterday he sent out something that was praising CBD, you know, the component within marijuana for um its many medicinal uses.

Now, you could sort of imagine maybe he would send that out, but I don't think so.

I I' I've never seen him promote anything that was, you know, pro-w weed, even if it was something we already knew that it was, you know, used medically.

So, I don't know what's going on.

There might be more to this story, but it does not seem that Trump himself sent those two messages.

I just don't know.

Well, median politics is uh on X is uh is looking at Trump's executive order to the states.

So, back in March, he signed some executive orders or one executive order to uh improve the voting integrity in the states.

Now, the states of course have control over uh how they do voting, but Trump um thinks he can impose some standards.

And what would happen when Trump tries to impose some voting process standards on a state that's blue and doesn't love Trump?

What would happen?

Well, apparently they do the Dilbert technique, which is Sure, I'll do that.

Okay.

Is it done yet?

Oh, didn't have time.

Okay, but you're working on it now, right?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, totally working on it now.

check back in a few weeks.

Are are you done yet?

Oh.

Oh, something came up.

Yeah.

No, I've and I've got to talk to somebody before I do anything.

And so, basically, they're slow walking it so it doesn't happen.

And what else are they doing?

They're uh um they're they're doing court challenges.

They're putting political pressure to try to make it go away.

they're missing deadlines because apparently it looks like there's no penalty.

So if you just say, "Oh yeah, yeah, we see your executive order.

Yeah, we'll take care of that." Then if you just don't do it, it doesn't look like there's a penalty.

So I I think they just don't do it.

So at this point, it does not look like the uh the executive order is going to make a difference.

I think it's going to be too easy for the states to say, "Nah, we're in charge of this.

Get out of here.

Well, I guess Trump and the top Democrats are going to talk today as a lastditch effort to try to work out a budget compromise.

Um, I don't think there's any chance that'll happen.

Do you?

I mean, I think Trump has to do it, have the meeting.

So, it looks like he's trying.

But, um, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll take a fact check on this, but don't the smart people say that they think the Democrats will be blamed for closing the government?

If the Democrats are, let's say, predictably, easily going to be blamed for it, why would Trump ever agree to their demands that are things that he definitely doesn't want to do, you know, like health care for illegal aliens and stuff?

So, I don't really think there's any possibility that anything will get fixed.

They might agree to kick it, you know, kick it down the road.

That was one of the possibilities, just to delay it again.

That might happen, but they're not going to, you know, he's not going to agree to their demands or anything like that.

H uh Trump was asked about uh Christopher Ray who was his FBI um head and he said that Trump said he would imagine quote would imagine the Justice Department is investigating him and uh one of the reasons that Trump gave is that uh apparently Ry had said that you know he didn't know how many FBI people were attending the January 6th thing but uh now we know that there might have been close to 300.

But what I don't know yet, cuz it's divided into two movies on one screen, I don't know which one's true.

One of the movies is, oh, now we have proof that the FBI was behind instigating the trouble because now we know there were 274 of them, and why would there be that many unless they were there to influence the, you know, the bad result.

The other the other movie says, uh, no, these are people who were called in after the after the people had already penetrated the building and they were there to try to, you know, assist with law enforcement and maintain order, but they were in plain clothes and no way to identify them.

So, I don't know how much they could have helped.

So, what do you think?

Whi- which movie are you in?

Are you in the movie where the FBI has now admitted that they had so many people there on January 6th that they were in fact to blame for the bad, you know, the bad outcomes or it's complete and the all of those law enforcement types FBI came in after the people had already entered the the building.

Which one do you think is real?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know which one's real, honestly.

And I don't think there's any way to find out because everything's everything's a lie.

Everything's fake.

Everything's a lie.

I don't even think we'll ever know.

So, uh, all it does is give people an opportunity to believe whatever it was that they were inclined to believe before they found out there were 274 FBI people there.

Well, Eric Adams, no relation, uh, dropped out of the New York City mayor race.

So, that means it's mom, dummy, and Cuomo.

And it turns out that Siwa is uh is spellch checked to slow.

I just realized that because it says slow instead of Siwa in my notes.

But um nobody thinks that Adam's dropping out will swing enough votes to one of the others for anybody else to win except mom Donnie.

So mom Donnie is on a glide path to easily winning.

Um and then the big question would be what if Curtis Leewa also dropped out?

Would that be enough?

Would that get the race close enough that Cuomo could win?

And do you want that?

Do you want that?

I mean, maybe that's worse than Mom Dami because there is an argument that if we sacrifice New York City with a, you know, terrible mayor who would destroy everything that uh that would be pretty expensive, but it would give us another 20 years without a socialist in office because we would just say, "All right, come on.

Look what this guy did.

He just ruined New York City.

You can't vote for that guy." So it could be that both the left and the right want mom dam to win but for different reasons.

The left wants them because they like them.

The right the right might want them.

some some members of the right obviously not people who live in New York City but people who don't live in New York City might be saying you know you know the very best thing that could happen all things being equal is that uh the left finds out that their philosophy doesn't work by trying it and just showing that none of it works well as you know the problem with uh the left is that they do not have a cause and effect gene where they can tell if we do this the way people will react will be that and we don't want that.

They can't do that.

Apparently that's only something people on the right can do.

Uh if you make it free, everybody's going to come here to get it.

Like the right just automatically sees cause and effect.

The left, nope.

They see some kind of weird ideal principle.

But then the way that they try to attack that principle is by doing something that couldn't possibly work.

I mean, it's just bad crazy.

All right.

There's some bad behavior going on catwise.

Okay.

I've got one cat with his head in my shoe.

And now two cats.

Two cats with their They both came over and just put their heads in my shoes.

All right.

There were two shootings yesterday.

Uh, one with there were multiple victims.

We we don't have a full complete count because one of them shot up a church and then set it on fire.

So, there might be more victims that they haven't found yet.

Uh, just truly horrible.

So, this one was uh what state was it?

It was a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

So, it's a Mormon Mormon church and you know that should be the first thing in the story should be where it happened.

Huh?

Somehow I did not write down the state.

What was it?

What was the state where they uh the first shooting happened?

Is it Michigan?

Michigan.

Okay.

All right.

Michigan it is.

Um, it's a apparently an exmilitary guy, ex-marine, I think, and he drove his vehicle into the church, you know, just drove it right through a window or something and then started shooting and then set it on fire and by the time the law enforcement got there, uh, they took him out in the parking lot.

So, he's dead now.

But was that the only shooting yet yesterday?

No.

There was a gunman that fired from a boat into a North Carolina restaurant, killing three and wounding five.

Wow.

Wow.

Um and uh believe it or not, that man was also an ex-military guy.

Yep.

Two ex-military guys decided to shoot up a populated place.

They were both white, in case you're wondering.

Um, but we don't know about their, you know, political leading or anything like that.

We'll find that out.

Anyway, um, the one who shot up the, uh, the restaurant, um, is known to local police, so that could mean almost anything.

Well, there's a lot of chatter on social media about whether Bill Clinton was basically a MAGA compatible leader in his day.

And the argument for that is that he was he liked strong borders.

I think he cut welfare at one point, right?

Or or made people work to get it.

Um he uh but the counterargument is that he expanded health care and uh etc.

So So some say he was uh basically he was basically Trump.

Um but not quite not quite.

Hillary was Hillary was for strong borders and shipping people back as soon as possible.

So she was Hillary was basically Trump um not that many years ago.

So but uh and uh Elon Musk was noting the similarities and but other people say no no there are too many differences you can't call them that.

Well, according to the No Tricks Zone publication, P Gosselin is writing that in 2025 the Arctic sea ice um the minimum neared blah blah blah, but essentially it's been rising steadily for almost two decades.

So, climate change models would tell you that that ice would melt almost every year.

So it' be should be a lot less um two after two decades but in fact it went up.

So there there's one of your uh climate change predictions.

Nope.

Opposite.

But at the same time also on climate change they they found some overestimate they were making.

This is from Mandy Carr the cool down.

So they did a new study in Greenland and they learned more about melting ice sheets and realized that the climate models were totally wrong on that one variable, the melting ice sheets, and that it was a kind of a big deal and could change the results and what you think of it.

Now, so that's just two stories that were in the news just today.

How many stories have I read you in the past year or two that were uhoh, we just found out something in our climate model was terribly wrong.

Now, at this point, the only way you could believe that climate change is the, you know, the the threat that uh people say, the only way you could believe that is if you believe that climate change is the only science that's valid because almost everything else is complete You know what?

Why would climate change be the only exception?

Oh, yeah.

Everything else is fake data from our job numbers.

Job numbers are fake.

Our, you know, everything basically everything's fake.

Everything except climate change.

So in order to believe it, you would have to believe everything's fake except climate change.

Now um the UK prime minister K Starmer he says that climate change is uh I guess one of the main reasons he believes why the uh millions of third world military age Muslim men are coming to the UK according to Wall Street Mav on X.

Um, so apparently Wall Street MV is pointing out apparently they weren't safe from climate change in any of the other 50 plus countries.

No, the only place they would be safe is in the UK.

So that's why they came.

No, Kier Starmer.

Apparently you don't know anything about anything.

Nobody came because of climate change.

Nobody.

Not one person said, "You know what?

given this climate change, I better get myself to the UK right away.

Not one person.

And he's trying to sell that.

Now, I wonder where why Starmer has the lowest approval that we've ever seen from a I think the lowest we've ever seen from a UK prime minister.

Well, it could be because he says dumb like that.

Well, I saw a uh video by Peter St.

An.

Um, so he's got a he's got a strong uh resume and and uh he says that up to 90% of published academic studies are false, meaning they can't be replicated.

90% of published academic studies are false.

And that would include, he points out, things about cancer drugs, global warming, gender mutilation, and even vaccines.

So the NIH wants to figure out how to how to make science real again because at the moment science isn't even real.

It's just not real.

If 90% of it is just made up and you can't tell what's in the 90 and what's in the 10, science is not real and maybe hasn't been real for a long time.

So, um, anyway, so, Professor John, uh, uh, Lionites or Ionites, I can't tell if that's an I or an L, but anyway, I think it's an I.

I he So, years ago, he determined that 97% of studies of pharma drugs are fake.

So if you see any study of any pharma test where they're comparing one say a new new drug to the existing drug 97% of the time it's fake and that's the only thing we do to approve drugs is the thing that's 97% fake.

Not just wrong.

Not just wrong but intentionally fake.

So there's your peer review right there.

Useless.

So I'll say it again.

Given that 90 or 97% of all studies are fake, uh, in order to believe that climate change is just what they said, you would have to believe that that was a wild exception.

You know, and I'm not saying climate change real or not real.

I'm saying that all of the, you know, the the subsets of that so-called science, uh, there'd be so many elements of that, so many so many parts that they think they needed to put into the model that if 90% of the subsets are wrong, well, you're probably not going to be right with your climate models.

All right, let's see what else is happening.

Um, the Georgia State Election Board uh has voted to subpoena 2020 election physical ballots.

So, the Gateway Pundit is writing about this.

Now, this all this election stuff gets really complicated, but I believe the allegation is that in 2020 if they had access, which they might get now, to the the ballots, but also the envelopes that they arrived in.

and that the main thing they want to check, the easiest thing is does the number of ballots match the number of envelopes because nobody should be taking any ballots in like just holding them in their hand.

So, if you found that there were a whole bunch of ballots, but they did not equal the number of envelopes, that would be not proof proof, but it would definitely be leading toward uh looks like there's a whole bunch of fake ballots because they don't have an envelope.

So, I don't know.

We'll see.

There's I think there's 20,000 votes that are in question for 2020.

You know, I I don't want to get excited about uh yeah, any of these possibilities because every every time we got excited, it's like, whoa, looks like they got the goods on them this time.

It never really works out, does it?

And I'm not sure why that is.

Like, why is it that there have been so many allegations that didn't work out?

Maybe that's just the way it always is.

Maybe it's always 25 to1 allegations to reality when it comes to anything complicated like an election.

So maybe all right uh looking at your comment there.

Um, yeah.

So, I saw I saw somebody say that uh guns were going to be banned in Canada, and I thought, "What?

They're not going to ban guns in Canada?" I mean, that's crazy.

There's no way they're going to ban guns in Canada.

So, I went to Grock to to see if Grock agreed and he said, "No, no, no.

They're not.

They don't ban guns.

you you silly goose.

They don't ban any guns now.

They don't allow you to buy a handgun.

You It's not legal to buy a handgun.

If you had one, you can do some paperwork to keep it, but she'll never be able to buy another one.

Um, so there's that.

And then they're trying to get a ban on uh what they what they would think would be military type rifles, but you know.

So I believe the only thing if they got their way the government the only thing that would be legal but it would still be highly regulated would be like a boltaction rifle for hunting and you know a few other things but most guns would be banned if they get what they want.

So, good luck, Canada.

Keep uh keep bringing in all the foreign nationals and ban the guns.

That should work out great.

Again, it's just another clear example of the left not understanding cause and effect.

All right, you're bringing in massive Islamic uh people.

Simultaneously, you're disarming the people who are here.

That can only go one way.

There's only one way that goes.

And if that's the way you planned to get rid of all the uh Christians in your country, good job.

You're well on the way.

Well, according to HR Drive, Laurel Kelzer is writing that u there's some biotech conglomerate uh that's being blamed of using DEI to discriminate.

And this would be no surprise to any of you that wherever there is DEI, there's massive discrimination against white males because um because that's that's how everything works in the real world.

But I I'm just going to say this and see how much trouble I get into.

Um based on what I see online, so this is not it's not like a survey or anything, but based on my observations online, I don't believe well I'll say it a different way.

Most black Americans believe that the thing that happens a 100% of the time at companies happens 0% of the time.

The thing that happens a 100% of the time, black Americans think never happens, doesn't happen at all.

And what I'm talking about is if you have DEI or even uh um you know whatever was predecessor that if you have DEI what what should happen in principle like in a perfect conceptual world is wow we were discriminating so badly that there were all these qualified black and brown and female candidates that were not getting jobs and they really should have because they were just as capable just as qualified.

Now, obviously, there are people in every group that are at the top level of qualified and capable.

So, every group has plenty of people that are, but plenty is not enough.

It's not even it's not even close to being enough.

So, my point on DEI is that you could change the races of everybody involved.

It would be it would still be a disaster.

You could say, for example, all right, not enough Irish are being hired.

So, we're going to create a system where we're really going to encourage you to hire more Irish, and we'll check on you, and your pay as a manager will depend on if you get enough Irish.

And then you go out and you find out everybody's trying to hire the limited quality, you limited quantity of Irish people who have the right skills for your high-tech industry, for example.

and they would find that uhoh, the only way I'm going to meet my goal of getting enough Irish is I'm going to have to lower my lower the bar for how how capable they will be before I hire them.

Right?

That would be how every human would act in that situation.

Almost no exception.

It would be close to every single human would act that way.

meaning that the Irish, if you if you got on an airplane and you saw that the pilot had, you know, red hair and looked kind of Irish, you might say to yourself, "Oh crap." Uh, they may have lowered the standards to get enough Irish.

Now, if I change the Irish to black, people say, "You're racist." It's the same argument.

You can literally switch out.

You could put white people in there.

You could put Albonians in there.

It doesn't matter who the person is.

That's that's the part that black Americans completely miss that.

Uh or most of them that I that I've seen address the question.

They don't seem to understand.

Again, it's not every black person blah blah blah.

Everybody has to say that.

um they don't seem to understand that the normal almost guaranteed way that that will go is that the white people in charge will cover their own asses, which is really a it's a criticism of white people.

Oh, here's here's the thing that people don't understand.

When when conservatives complain about DEI being racist, they're normally talking about other white people being the racist.

You get that, right?

If you're if you're a black job candidate and you were lucky enough to, you know, be favored and uh you got a job or or even if you weren't favored, you just got the job.

Um you're not you're not to blame for anything.

All you did was apply for a job and you got offered one and you took it.

So why would you be the racist?

You're not.

So, it's the same when it was was it Charlie Kirk who said the thing about a black pilot.

The black pilot would not be the one who's to blame.

It would be whoever said, "I think I have to lower my standards to get the right number of people." That would be usually some white guy and that's the guy who does the the bad thing.

The black guy simply took an opportunity that was offered.

That's not racist.

that that's not anything but smart.

I would have taken I'd take the job if offered.

So when I complained about DEI, it's not 100% but probably 80% are white people that are the the villains.

The villains in the story are the white people because they're the ones saying, "Oh, I better better cover my ass and make it look like I hired uh diversely." All right, we'll see if that gets me double cancelled.

Um, do you know about the OCCRP?

Um, which I didn't see defined, but what it is is a organization of um people in the news business internationally who kind of coordinate and uh some might say they coordinate the fake news.

Um but the US has sort of dropped out of that because we're we're sort of onto it.

So the Gateway Bund is writing about this, but uh um apparently there's a uh a documentary made in Germany that exposes just how bad the OCRP is.

And uh what did Germany do when the documentary exposed how bad they were?

Uh they banned it.

they banned it.

So, uh, yeah, they're trying to bury it.

So, um, I'm pretty sure that the US made the right play there, thanks to Trump and others.

Um, but the OCCP is, uh, not something you should be happy about.

Well, I guess downtown Chicago now has a bunch of federal agents and tactical gear who are deployed there and uh Trump has said that border patrol will take no nonsense.

So, they're they're working Chicago and uh there's a bunch of federalized troops there working the streets and they're trying to get rid of the worst of the worst.

They say we'll see if that works.

Let's see if they save Chicago or not.

All right.

Um the White House has released a list of political agitators they call them.

So these would be people who are you know calling Republicans Gustapo and Hitler and all that Jim Ha gateway pundits writing about this.

But um so the White House has released a list of the people and what they've said.

It's a pretty long list, so I'll just give you some of them.

So, uh Governor Tib smeared ICE as the modern-day Gestapo.

Um interestingly, Gavin Newsome wasn't nearly as bad.

So he likened ICE to secret police uh calling them authoritarian and proclaimed a right to push back.

Okay.

Uh but JB Pritsker said that claimed the country is becoming Nazi Germany because ICE is grabbing people off the streets and disappearing them.

And uh let's see, Robin Kelly used Gestapo, Jasmine Crockett, compared ICE to slave patrols.

And it's a pretty long list.

So, it goes two pages, three pages.

It's It's just three pages of uh Democrats who have said horrible things that nobody should say.

Um yeah, Representative Lynch smeared ICE agents as the Gestapo and nondescript thugs.

um said I somebody else John Larson said ISIS is the SS and the Gestapo.

So yeah, I think all of that needs to be called out.

So I I I compliment the White House for putting out this document with everybody's quote on it so you can see how bad it was.

Um, all right.

So, there's a study recently that said that um that right-wing violence had outpaced left-wing violence for 30 years, but now that's reversed.

Uh, according to the State Colombia, Brendan Rascus is writing about it.

So, for the first time in 30 years, they say left-wing terrorism is now outpacing right-wing terrorism.

Um, I'm going to say I don't believe any of that.

It might be true.

I mean, I I don't have a push back to that specific claim, but I'm pretty sure that the Democrats are saying it's the opposite.

And if you haven't personally looked at the, you know, looked into the data, you can't really trust either side.

you you you should assume that the Republicans will say the Democrats are the violent ones even if they're not.

And you should assume that the Democrats will say the Republicans are the violent ones even if they're not.

So there's no credibility whatsoever to any of these claims.

One of them is true because they're opposites.

You know, one of them is doing more bad things, but I don't know if he could tell.

And I'm not sure I care that much that, you know, one does a little bit more than the other because most of these people are individual nutcases.

So, I don't know.

It it just feels like there there's definitely something to all these people getting worked up by the fake news.

That's something to worry about.

Uh but it's a lot of crazy people.

Well, Mario is writing about Ukraine.

Apparently, Russia launched last night 500 to 650 drones attacking Kiev and other parts of Ukraine, I guess.

Um, had 55 cruise missiles, eight calibers, I guess that's a missile, and two hypersonic missiles and several KH59s.

So, that was a pretty major attack.

So, the question is, is Russia increasing its acts?

because uh Trump is now basically saying um he's going to help Trump is essentially saying that he's going to help uh Ukraine actually just win the war outright.

Maybe I think that's more negotiating than anything else, but uh it's definitely a new look.

And uh Trump has authorized Ukraine according to Austin Defender on X.

He's authorized Ukraine to carry out long range drone and missile strikes against targets inside Russia.

Uh but some of them will require Pentagon approval.

So why would why would Russia treat it like they're at war with Ukraine if we're providing the missiles uh and giving them permission to use them deep inside Russia?

Do you think that Russia will be able to forever resist lobbing a missile into the homeland of the United States?

I don't think we're completely safe from Russia just making a point.

Just just lobbing some missiles into the US, you know, maybe not having the most damage or or death, but just saying, "All right, here's the deal.

If you're going to help Ukraine lobb missiles into Moscow, we're going to we're going to help uh ourselves lobb some missiles into your cities cuz why wouldn't they?

I mean, really, why wouldn't they?

So, I do worry that there's going to be a new level of uh escalation here that could come to the homeland, but I don't know.

Um, I do also assume that uh Trump and company know more than we do about what's up in Russia.

One possibility is that our military and and our government knows, and I don't know this to be true.

I'm just speculating, that Russia might be in worse shape than we think, and that they might be closer to having to fold or or give up.

Maybe for economic reasons, maybe they don't want to lose their their oil business.

You know, maybe they know that if we totally unleash Ukraine with better weapons, they're in trouble.

So maybe Trump knows something we don't that Russia might be closer to something like a a deal or a surrender.

I don't know, but I'll tell you, it looks pretty dangerous.

We'll keep an eye on that.

Um, did you know that Turning Point USA is listed by the ADL in their glossery of extremism and hate?

So, that's the ADL.

Um, Elon Musk says that's, you know, deeply wrong.

And, uh, makes me wonder if the ADL should list themselves as a hate group because do they meet all the criteria?

What what would it take to be a hate group?

Um, the ADL says that I'm a Holocaust uh denier.

Is that something that you do if you're not a hate group?

Why would you even do that?

Um, anyway, so you always want to be in the team that gets to label others.

You don't want to be in the team team that gets labeled.

So, the ADL um I think there I think the ADL's purpose has maybe run its course.

Uh if I had to guess, I think there's a nonzero chance the ADL will not be in business a year from now because I think it's, you know, remember the ADL is not Israel.

Israel doesn't run the ADL and I don't think that they're super backing them in everything they do.

So, if Israel is not, you know, completely backing them and the United States is not completely backing them and they're not helping anybody because I don't think they are.

I don't know.

I don't know if they'll last another year.

We shall see.

Um, Trump and company have released a what they call a 21.2 Gaza peace plan.

Um, here's what it would call for.

Immediate ceasefire, freeze, a freeze on battle lines, a release of all hostages and within two days.

Hamas's weapons would be destroyed.

Um, fighters would have to accept coexistence with Israel and they'd get emnacy and safe passage abroad so they could leave the country if they were worried.

um a possible and pave the path to a possible Palestinian statethood.

Now, Palestinian statethood is not something that Israel wants or at least the current leader of Israel.

Um so, I don't know about that one happening.

And Israel would free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

And in response to having all their prisoners back, Israel would halt plans to demolish or annex Gaza and would gradually withdraw its forces and anyone who wants to return to Gaza after leaving will be allowed to do so.

Uh Gaza would get a temporary government overseen by an international group involving the US and Arab countries and European nations and they would develop a new economic plan to revitalize it.

And the US and Arab allies would craft a stabilization force and to build up security in Gaza.

Well, how many of you think any of that's going to happen?

And I feel like I'm so beaten down.

Uh, you know, what two years of uh of war since October 7th, and I I just don't see any of that happening.

Do you?

I see none of that happening.

Like just none of it.

I feel that Israel's best interest would be to just take the heat and take the country because yeah, who knows if they can survive that by the way.

That that would be that'd be quite a step.

So, Israel would have to deal with the repercussions of that forever and that would be pretty big repercussions.

So they might not even be able to survive it.

If they try to try to just take Gaza and absorb it and kick out all the Palestinians that were in Gaza, might not be survivable.

I don't know.

I'm not smart enough to know how much of a danger that would be.

But um I don't see either side agreeing to all the important parts.

I just don't see it.

Do you?

So I'd love to be wrong.

Wouldn't it be great if they worked everything out?

But I don't know.

I don't see any chance it could happen.

Uh, well, the UN sanctions on Iran have snapped back into place because they were unable to agree on terms for ongoing inspections of their nuclear facilities.

Are you surprised that Iran did not give the West everything it wanted in inspections?

No surprise.

Uh, apparently Russia is arming and training a Chinese airborne battalion with uh, you know, all kinds of their their best equipment and everything.

And analysts think that maybe what they're doing is preparing for a Taiwan invasion.

Not Russia, but who they're training in China.

Um, do you think do you do you think that China is literally preparing for an invasion?

I wouldn't rule it out, you know, or at the very least they might want us to think they're planning it to put the pressure on, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Um, I wouldn't rule it in, you know.

I wouldn't I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't rule it out.

I think there's a solid 25% chance that China has a, you know, a specific plan with a date that they're going to go take Taiwan.

And I'm pretty sure they could take it if they wanted to.

Um, Bad Bunny is a music star that I didn't know much about, but apparently that will be the Super Bowl halftime entertainment.

But Bad Bunny is I'm learning today Puerto Rican and his songs are primarily in Spanish with very little English.

So people are saying, "Uh, why are you doing that?" You know, we're an English-speaking country.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have Englishspeaking music?

But Bad Bunny is very popular.

So I mean, Bad Bunny is popular in this country, too.

So I'm not sure that's a mistake.

People will complain.

But having a little bit of interesting diversity isn't the worst thing in the world.

All right.

Um, that's all I got for you today.

Going to keep it a little bit short.

I'll remind you again that if you haven't seen it, um, I did a podcast last night um, with Dr.

Drew and Greg Gfeld who were nice enough to stop by my place yesterday.

So, we sat in my kitchen and did a did a podcast which according to the comments people really really liked.

Um, and and I got to tell you that the one of the many cool things about that experience is that the three of us are so experienced at talking in public that that we could just turn on the cameras and do like what turned out to be 83 minutes of content without any preparation.

Now, I have to admit there aren't too many people who could do, you know, 83 minutes of apparently content that people really enjoyed based on the comments.

U but we've all been doing it for a long time.

So, it it went better than I could have hoped actually.

So, if you want to see what my kitchen looks like from one angle anyway, uh you can watch that.

So you can find that on You.

Tube or on X or on Locals or on Rumble.

And so far everybody likes it a lot.

So that's good.

All right.

Um yeah, a lot of people are saying we should do it on a regular basis, but there there's one thing that the three of us have in common is that we each we each have about four jobs a piece.

I I don't think we could add another another job.

I don't think that's an option.

But maybe we'll get to do it again someday.

We'll see.

All right, that's all I got for you.

I'm going to talk to the local subscribers, the beloved local subscribers privately.

And uh the rest of you, thanks for joining.

I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

Come on in. It is great to see you. Grab

a beverage, grab a seat, and get ready

for well, you know.

You know,

stocks are up a little bit. All right,

good for us.

Let me get your comments working and

then I'll feel like we're ready.

Come on in.

Pull up a chair.

[Music]

Oh, cat.

The things you knock on the floor.

All right, we'll leave it there for now

cuz you'll just knock it over again.

Pretty sure.

No, don't eat all the Kleenex.

All right. Well, I'll clear I'll clean

that up later.

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 try to elevate your

experience up to levels that nobody can

even understand with their tiny shiny

human brains.

All you need for that is a copper mug or

a glass, a tankerstein,

a candy jug or flask, a vessel of any

kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparallel

pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the

thing that makes everything better. It's

called the simultaneous sip and it

happens now. Go.

So good.

All right.

If you haven't already seen it, uh there

was a surprise podcast yesterday

afternoon. Um Greg Gutfeld and Dr. Drew

were uh in the area for other business

and uh we decided to get together and we

did a uh special podcast with the three

of us in my kitchen and people are

saying they like it. So, you might want

to check that out. It's on the usual

platforms. Wherever you watch this show,

it will also be there from yesterday.

Well, let's see if there's any science

that didn't need to happen because you

couldn't just ask me. Eric Nolan of

Scypost is writing about affection

deprivation. Deprivation

may explain why fubbing. Have you ever

heard of that? Fubbing.

P H U BB I N G. Apparently, fubbing is

when you look at your phone when you

should be being social. So, if you're in

a relationship, but you spend too much

time on your phone in front of your um

partner, you are fubbing. I never heard

of that until today. Anyway, so

apparently uh can you believe it that

when people fub in front of them uh the

person who's getting fubbed on if if

that's if that's right, I don't know if

that's the way to say it. The person

getting fubbed on

um will not be happy and not feel it's a

good relationship. Did you really need

to do that that study? You could have

come to me and said, "Scott, how would

you feel if your date pulled out her

phone and started paying attention to

the phone instead of you? How would you

feel?" I'd say, "Well, not ideal." And

then they'd say, "We're going to do a

study to see if other people would feel

the same way." I'd say, "Whoa, slow down

there. Slow down. You don't need to do

that study. They will feel the same. I

promise you. Save some money."

All right.

Well, there's something going on with

comedian Theo Vaughn. Apparently, he was

recording a comedy show at the Beacon

Theater. And uh after the show, he said

something that got caught on camera. He

said it to the the audience as he was

interacting with them um personally. And

uh he said, "I'm having a long month.

I'm trying not to take my own life.

Wow. Now, he did not say it with a big

old smile on his face. He kind of said

it like that was real. So, Theo, we're

all going to send you some positive

vibes. Hope whatever it is that's

plaguing you this month uh gets worked

out. I didn't realize that um separate

from this story, I noticed that Theo's

um audience size for his podcast is

enormous. Did you know that? You know, I

knew he was doing really well and that

he's one of the big ones, but his

audience is enormous now. So, good for

you, Theo.

Um I hope everything works out.

Well, as you know, Oregon doesn't want

Trump to send in his military to take

care of all the uh alleged unrest and

crime, but uh it's going to happen

anyway, I think. And Oregon is going to

try to sue him to stop it.

C, could you get your head out of the

Kleenex box?

Find find something else to play with.

All right. Um,

so anyway, so that's happening and uh,

so there's a little bit of a fake news

kind of element to this and I don't know

which way it goes. I don't know which

part's the fake part, but uh, the

officials in Oregon and some people who

live there say, "What problem?" There's

no problem. Look, look how great

everything is. And they'll show you

video of walking through the streets and

everything looks peaceful and happy. And

then uh you talk you talk to anybody on

the right and they've got different

videos just look awful.

So I actually don't know. I don't know

if oregon is any worse than it ever was.

I can't tell. I'm guessing it probably

is. Otherwise they wouldn't bother

sending in the military. But there you

go. Well, Trump sent out two truths, you

know, from Truth Social that honestly

don't look like he sent them. So, I'm

waiting to see if there's more to this

story because neither of them would be

really something he would post online.

One of them looks like it's an entirely

AI made thing where even, you know, he's

talking, but it looks like just AI

voice. Uh, this sounds like him, but

it's AI. and uh it was announcing

something called medbed, some kind of

medical card that he was announcing,

which isn't real. So, we don't know why

he sent that around

when it doesn't seem to be real. It's

not something that anybody's doing and

it's not that funny. It wasn't funny and

it wasn't real. So, is it possible he

thought it was real? I don't think so

because it was talking about what he was

doing and he's not doing that. There's

no medbed guard as far as I can tell.

But he sent that around which made me

think maybe somebody else had access to

his account. And then also yesterday he

sent out something that was praising

CBD,

you know, the component within marijuana

for um its many medicinal uses. Now, you

could sort of imagine maybe he would

send that out, but I don't think so. I

I' I've never seen him promote anything

that was, you know, pro-w weed, even if

it was something we already knew that it

was, you know, used medically. So, I

don't know what's going on. There might

be more to this story, but it does not

seem that Trump himself sent those two

messages. I just don't know.

Well, median politics is uh on X is uh

is looking at Trump's executive order to

the states. So, back in March, he signed

some executive orders or one executive

order to uh improve the voting integrity

in the states. Now, the states of course

have control over uh how they do voting,

but Trump um thinks he can impose some

standards. And what would happen when

Trump tries to impose some voting

process standards on a state that's blue

and doesn't love Trump? What would

happen? Well, apparently they do the

Dilbert technique,

which is Sure, I'll do that. Okay. Is it

done yet? Oh, didn't have time. Okay,

but you're working on it now, right? Oh,

yeah. Yeah, totally working on it now.

check back in a few weeks. Are are you

done yet? Oh. Oh, something came up.

Yeah. No, I've and I've got to talk to

somebody before I do anything. And so,

basically, they're slow walking it so it

doesn't happen. And what else are they

doing? They're uh um they're they're

doing court challenges. They're putting

political pressure to try to make it go

away. they're missing deadlines because

apparently it looks like there's no

penalty. So if you just say, "Oh yeah,

yeah, we see your executive order. Yeah,

we'll take care of that." Then if you

just don't do it, it doesn't look like

there's a penalty. So I I think they

just don't do it. So at this point, it

does not look like the uh the executive

order is going to make a difference. I

think it's going to be too easy for the

states to say, "Nah, we're in charge of

this. Get out of here.

Well, I guess Trump and the top

Democrats are going to talk today as a

lastditch effort to try to work out a

budget compromise. Um, I don't think

there's any chance that'll happen. Do

you? I mean, I think Trump has to do it,

have the meeting. So, it looks like he's

trying.

But, um, correct me if I'm wrong. I'll

take a fact check on this, but don't the

smart people say that they think the

Democrats will be blamed for closing the

government? If the Democrats are,

let's say, predictably, easily going to

be blamed for it, why would Trump ever

agree to their demands that are things

that he definitely doesn't want to do,

you know, like health care for illegal

aliens and stuff? So, I don't really

think there's any possibility

that anything will get fixed. They might

agree to kick it, you know, kick it down

the road. That was one of the

possibilities, just to delay it again.

That might happen, but they're not going

to, you know, he's not going to agree to

their demands or anything like that.

H

uh Trump was asked about uh Christopher

Ray who was his FBI um head and he said

that Trump said he would imagine quote

would imagine the Justice Department is

investigating him and uh one of the

reasons that Trump gave is that uh

apparently Ry had said that you know he

didn't know how many FBI people were

attending the January 6th thing but uh

now we know that there might have been

close to 300. But what I don't know yet,

cuz it's divided into two movies on one

screen, I don't know which one's true.

One of the movies is, oh, now we have

proof that the FBI was behind

instigating the trouble because now we

know there were 274 of them, and why

would there be that many unless they

were there to influence the, you know,

the bad result. The other the other

movie says, uh, no, these are people who

were called in after the after the

people had already penetrated the

building and they were there to try to,

you know, assist with law enforcement

and maintain order, but they were in

plain clothes and no way to identify

them. So, I don't know how much they

could have helped. So, what do you

think? Whi- which movie are you in? Are

you in the movie where the FBI has now

admitted that they had so many people

there on January 6th that they were in

fact to blame for the bad, you know, the

bad outcomes or it's complete

and the all of those law enforcement

types FBI came in after the people had

already entered the the building.

Which one do you think is real?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know

which one's real, honestly. And I don't

think there's any way to find out

because everything's everything's a lie.

Everything's fake. Everything's a lie. I

don't even think we'll ever know. So,

uh, all it does is give people an

opportunity to believe whatever it was

that they were inclined to believe

before they found out there were 274 FBI

people there.

Well, Eric Adams, no relation, uh,

dropped out of the New York City mayor

race. So, that means it's mom, dummy,

and

Cuomo.

And it turns out that Siwa is uh is

spellch checked to slow. I just realized

that because it says slow instead of

Siwa in my notes. But um nobody thinks

that Adam's dropping out will swing

enough votes to one of the others for

anybody else to win except mom Donnie.

So mom Donnie is on a glide path to

easily winning. Um and then the big

question would be what if Curtis Leewa

also dropped out? Would that be enough?

Would that get the race close enough

that Cuomo could win? And do you want

that? Do you want that? I mean, maybe

that's worse than Mom Dami because there

is an argument

that if we sacrifice New York City with

a, you know, terrible mayor who would

destroy everything that uh that would be

pretty expensive, but it would give us

another 20 years without a socialist in

office because we would just say, "All

right, come on. Look what this guy did.

He just ruined New York City. You can't

vote for that guy." So it could be

that both the left and the right want

mom dam to win but for different

reasons. The left wants them because

they like them.

The right the right might want them.

some some members of the right obviously

not people who live in New York City but

people who don't live in New York City

might be saying you know you know the

very best thing that could happen all

things being equal is that uh the left

finds out that their philosophy doesn't

work by trying it and just showing that

none of it works

well as you know the problem with uh the

left is that they do not have a cause

and effect gene where they can tell if

we do this the way people will react

will be that and we don't want that.

They can't do that. Apparently that's

only something people on the right can

do. Uh if you make it free, everybody's

going to come here to get it. Like the

right just automatically

sees cause and effect. The left, nope.

They see some kind of weird ideal

principle. But then the way that they

try to attack that principle is by doing

something that couldn't possibly work. I

mean, it's just bad crazy.

All right.

There's some bad behavior going on

catwise.

Okay. I've got one cat with his head in

my shoe.

And now two cats. Two cats with their

They both came over and just put their

heads in my shoes.

All right. There were two shootings

yesterday.

Uh, one with there were multiple

victims. We we don't have a full

complete count because one of them shot

up a church and then set it on fire. So,

there might be more victims that they

haven't found yet. Uh, just truly

horrible. So, this one was

uh what state was it? It was a Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So,

it's a Mormon Mormon church and you know

that should be the first thing in the

story should be where it happened.

Huh? Somehow I did not write down the

state.

What was it? What was the state where

they uh the first shooting happened? Is

it Michigan? Michigan. Okay. All right.

Michigan it is.

Um, it's a apparently an exmilitary guy,

ex-marine, I think, and he drove his

vehicle into the church, you know, just

drove it right through a window or

something and then started shooting and

then set it on fire and by the time the

law enforcement got there, uh, they took

him out in the parking lot. So, he's

dead now. But was that the only shooting

yet yesterday? No. There was a gunman

that fired from a boat into a North

Carolina restaurant, killing three and

wounding five.

Wow.

Wow. Um and uh believe it or not, that

man was also an ex-military guy. Yep.

Two ex-military guys decided to shoot up

a populated place. They were both white,

in case you're wondering. Um, but we

don't know about their, you know,

political leading or anything like that.

We'll find that out.

Anyway, um, the one who shot up the, uh,

the restaurant, um, is known to local

police, so that could mean almost

anything. Well, there's a lot of chatter

on social media about whether Bill

Clinton was basically a MAGA compatible

leader in his day. And the argument for

that is that he was he liked strong

borders. I think he cut welfare at one

point, right? Or or made people work to

get it. Um

he uh but the counterargument is that he

expanded health care and uh

etc. So So some say he was uh basically

he was basically Trump. Um but not quite

not quite. Hillary was Hillary was for

strong borders and shipping people back

as soon as possible. So she was Hillary

was basically Trump um not that many

years ago.

So but uh and uh Elon Musk was noting

the similarities and but other people

say no no there are too many differences

you can't call them that. Well,

according to the No Tricks Zone

publication, P Gosselin is writing that

in 2025 the Arctic sea ice

um the minimum neared blah blah blah,

but essentially it's been rising

steadily for almost two decades. So,

climate change models would tell you

that that ice would melt almost every

year. So it' be should be a lot less

um two after two decades but in fact it

went up.

So there there's one of your uh climate

change predictions. Nope. Opposite.

But at the same time

also on climate change they they found

some overestimate they were making. This

is from Mandy Carr the cool down. So

they did a new study in Greenland and

they learned more about melting ice

sheets and realized that the climate

models were totally wrong on that one

variable, the melting ice sheets, and

that it was a kind of a big deal and

could change the results and what you

think of it. Now, so that's just two

stories that were in the news just

today. How many stories have I read you

in the past year or two that were uhoh,

we just found out something in our

climate model was terribly wrong.

Now, at this point, the only way you

could believe that climate change is

the, you know, the the threat that uh

people say, the only way you could

believe that

is if you believe that climate change is

the only science that's valid because

almost everything else is complete

You know what? Why would

climate change be the only exception?

Oh, yeah. Everything else is fake data

from our

job numbers. Job numbers are fake. Our,

you know, everything basically

everything's fake. Everything except

climate change. So in order to believe

it, you would have to believe

everything's fake except climate change.

Now

um the UK prime minister

K Starmer he says that climate change is

uh I guess one of the main reasons he

believes why the uh millions of third

world military age Muslim men are coming

to the UK according to Wall Street Mav

on X. Um, so apparently Wall Street MV

is pointing out apparently they weren't

safe from climate change in any of the

other 50 plus countries. No, the only

place they would be safe is in the UK.

So that's why they came. No, Kier

Starmer. Apparently you don't know

anything about anything. Nobody came

because of climate change. Nobody. Not

one person said, "You know what?

given this climate change, I better get

myself to the UK right away. Not one

person. And he's trying to sell that.

Now, I wonder where why Starmer has the

lowest approval that we've ever seen

from a I think the lowest we've ever

seen from a UK prime minister. Well, it

could be because he says dumb like

that.

Well, I saw a uh video by Peter St. An.

Um, so he's got a he's got a strong uh

resume

and and uh he says that up to 90% of

published academic studies are false,

meaning they can't be replicated.

90%

of published academic studies are false.

And that would include, he points out,

things about cancer drugs, global

warming, gender mutilation, and even

vaccines.

So the NIH wants to figure out how to

how to make science real again because

at the moment science isn't even real.

It's just not real. If 90% of it is just

made up and you can't tell what's in the

90 and what's in the 10, science is not

real and maybe hasn't been real for a

long time. So,

um,

anyway, so, Professor John, uh, uh,

Lionites or Ionites, I can't tell if

that's an I or an L, but anyway, I think

it's an I. I he So, years ago, he

determined that 97% of studies of pharma

drugs are fake.

So if you see any study of any pharma

test where they're comparing one say a

new new drug to the existing drug 97% of

the time it's fake

and that's the only thing we do to

approve drugs is the thing that's 97%

fake. Not just wrong. Not just wrong but

intentionally fake.

So there's your peer review right there.

Useless.

So I'll say it again. Given that 90 or

97% of all studies are fake,

uh, in order to believe that climate

change is just what they said, you would

have to believe that that was a wild

exception. You know, and I'm not saying

climate change real or not real. I'm

saying that all of the, you know, the

the subsets of that so-called science,

uh, there'd be so many elements of that,

so many so many parts that they think

they needed to put into the model that

if 90% of the subsets are wrong, well,

you're probably not going to be right

with your climate models.

All right, let's see what else is

happening. Um,

the Georgia State Election Board

uh has voted to subpoena 2020 election

physical ballots. So, the Gateway Pundit

is writing about this. Now, this all

this election stuff gets really

complicated, but I believe the

allegation is that in 2020 if they had

access, which they might get now, to the

the ballots, but also the envelopes that

they arrived in. and that the main thing

they want to check, the easiest thing is

does the number of ballots match the

number of envelopes

because nobody should be taking any

ballots in like just holding them in

their hand. So, if you found that there

were a whole bunch of ballots,

but they did not equal the number of

envelopes, that would be not proof

proof, but it would definitely be

leading toward uh looks like there's a

whole bunch of fake ballots because they

don't have an envelope. So, I don't

know. We'll see. There's I think there's

20,000

votes that are in question for 2020. You

know, I I don't want to get excited

about uh yeah, any of these

possibilities because every every time

we got excited, it's like, whoa, looks

like they got the goods on them this

time. It never really works out, does

it? And I'm not sure why that is. Like,

why is it that there have been so many

allegations that didn't work out? Maybe

that's just the way it always is. Maybe

it's always 25 to1 allegations to

reality when it comes to anything

complicated like an election. So maybe

all right

uh

looking at your comment there.

Um,

yeah.

So, I saw I saw somebody say that uh

guns were going to be banned in Canada,

and I thought, "What?

They're not going to ban guns in

Canada?" I mean, that's crazy. There's

no way they're going to ban guns in

Canada. So, I went to Grock to to see if

Grock agreed and he said, "No, no, no.

They're not. They don't ban guns. you

you silly goose. They don't ban any guns

now. They don't allow you to buy a

handgun. You It's not legal to buy a

handgun. If you had one, you can do some

paperwork to keep it, but she'll never

be able to buy another one.

Um, so there's that. And then they're

trying to get a ban on uh what they what

they would think would be military type

rifles, but you know. So I believe the

only thing if they got their way the

government the only thing that would be

legal but it would still be highly

regulated would be like a boltaction

rifle for hunting

and you know a few other things but most

guns would be banned if they get what

they want. So, good luck, Canada.

Keep uh keep bringing in all the foreign

nationals and ban the guns. That should

work out great.

Again, it's just another clear example

of the left not understanding cause and

effect. All right, you're bringing in

massive Islamic uh people.

Simultaneously, you're disarming the

people who are here. That can only go

one way.

There's only one way that goes. And if

that's the way you planned to get rid of

all the uh Christians in your country,

good job. You're well on the way.

Well, according to HR Drive, Laurel

Kelzer is writing that u there's some

biotech conglomerate uh that's being

blamed of using DEI to discriminate.

And this would be no surprise to any of

you that wherever there is DEI, there's

massive discrimination against white

males because um because that's that's

how everything works in the real world.

But I I'm just going to say this and see

how much trouble I get into. Um based on

what I see online, so this is not it's

not like a survey or anything, but based

on my observations online, I don't

believe well I'll say it a different

way. Most black Americans believe that

the thing that happens a 100% of the

time at companies happens 0% of the

time. The thing that happens a 100% of

the time, black Americans think never

happens, doesn't happen at all. And what

I'm talking about is if you have DEI or

even uh um you know whatever was

predecessor that if you have DEI

what what should happen in principle

like in a perfect conceptual world is

wow we were discriminating so badly that

there were all these qualified black and

brown and female candidates that were

not getting jobs and they really should

have because they were just as capable

just as qualified. Now, obviously, there

are people in every group that are at

the top level of qualified and capable.

So, every group has plenty of people

that are, but

plenty is not enough. It's not even it's

not even close to being enough. So, my

point on DEI is that you could change

the races of everybody involved. It

would be it would still be a disaster.

You could say, for example, all right,

not enough Irish are being hired. So,

we're going to create a system where

we're really going to encourage you to

hire more Irish, and we'll check on you,

and your pay as a manager will depend on

if you get enough Irish. And then you go

out and you find out everybody's trying

to hire the limited quality, you limited

quantity of Irish people who have the

right skills for your high-tech

industry, for example. and they would

find that uhoh, the only way I'm going

to meet my goal of getting enough Irish

is I'm going to have to lower my lower

the bar for how how capable they will be

before I hire them. Right? That would be

how every human would act in that

situation. Almost no exception. It would

be close to every single human would act

that way. meaning that the Irish, if you

if you got on an airplane and you saw

that the pilot had, you know, red hair

and looked kind of Irish, you might say

to yourself, "Oh crap." Uh, they may

have lowered the standards to get enough

Irish. Now, if I change the Irish to

black, people say, "You're racist."

It's the same argument. You can

literally switch out. You could put

white people in there. You could put

Albonians in there. It doesn't matter

who the person is. That's that's the

part that black Americans completely

miss that. Uh or most of them that I

that I've seen address the question.

They don't seem to understand.

Again, it's not every black person blah

blah blah. Everybody has to say that. um

they don't seem to understand that the

normal almost guaranteed way that that

will go is that the white people in

charge will cover their own asses, which

is really a it's a criticism of white

people. Oh, here's here's the thing that

people don't understand.

When when conservatives complain about

DEI being racist, they're normally

talking about other white people being

the racist. You get that, right? If

you're if you're a black job candidate

and you were lucky enough to, you know,

be favored and uh you got a job or or

even if you weren't favored, you just

got the job. Um you're not you're not to

blame for anything.

All you did was apply for a job and you

got offered one and you took it. So why

would you be the racist? You're not. So,

it's the same when it was was it Charlie

Kirk who said the thing about a black

pilot. The black pilot would not be the

one who's to blame. It would be whoever

said, "I think I have to lower my

standards to get the right number of

people." That would be usually some

white guy

and that's the guy who does the the bad

thing. The black guy simply took an

opportunity that was offered. That's not

racist. that that's not anything but

smart. I would have taken I'd take the

job if offered. So when I complained

about DEI, it's not 100% but probably

80% are white people that are the the

villains. The villains in the story are

the white people because they're the

ones saying, "Oh, I better better cover

my ass and make it look like I hired uh

diversely."

All right, we'll see if that gets me

double cancelled.

Um,

do you know about the OCCRP?

Um, which I didn't see defined, but what

it is is a organization of um people in

the news business internationally

who kind of coordinate and uh some might

say

they coordinate the fake news. Um but

the US has sort of dropped out of that

because we're we're sort of onto it. So

the Gateway Bund is writing about this,

but uh um

apparently there's a uh a documentary

made in Germany that exposes just how

bad the OCRP is. And uh what did Germany

do when the documentary exposed how bad

they were? Uh they banned it. they

banned it.

So,

uh, yeah, they're trying to bury it.

So,

um, I'm pretty sure that the US made the

right play there, thanks to Trump and

others.

Um, but the OCCP is, uh, not something

you should be happy about.

Well, I guess downtown Chicago now has a

bunch of federal agents and tactical

gear who are deployed there and uh Trump

has said that border patrol will take no

nonsense. So, they're they're working

Chicago and uh there's a bunch of

federalized troops there working the

streets and they're trying to get rid of

the worst of the worst. They say we'll

see if that works.

Let's see if they save Chicago or not.

All right. Um

the White House has released a list of

political agitators they call them. So

these would be people who are you know

calling Republicans Gustapo and Hitler

and all that Jim Ha gateway pundits

writing about this. But um so the White

House has released a list

of the people and what they've said.

It's a pretty long list, so I'll just

give you some of them. So, uh Governor

Tib smeared ICE as the modern-day

Gestapo.

Um

interestingly, Gavin Newsome wasn't

nearly as bad. So he likened ICE to

secret police uh calling them

authoritarian

and proclaimed a right to push back.

Okay. Uh but JB Pritsker

said that claimed the country is

becoming Nazi Germany because ICE is

grabbing people off the streets and

disappearing them. And uh let's see,

Robin Kelly used Gestapo, Jasmine

Crockett, compared ICE to slave patrols.

And it's a pretty long list.

So, it goes two pages, three pages. It's

It's just three pages of uh Democrats

who have said horrible things that

nobody should say. Um

yeah, Representative Lynch smeared ICE

agents as the Gestapo and nondescript

thugs.

um

said I somebody else John Larson said

ISIS is the SS and the Gestapo.

So yeah,

I think all of that needs to be called

out. So I I I compliment the White House

for putting out this document with

everybody's quote on it so you can see

how bad it was.

Um,

all right.

So, there's a study recently that said

that um

that right-wing violence had outpaced

left-wing violence for 30 years, but now

that's reversed.

Uh, according to the State Colombia,

Brendan Rascus is writing about it. So,

for the first time in 30 years, they say

left-wing terrorism is now outpacing

right-wing terrorism. Um, I'm going to

say I don't believe any of that. It

might be true. I mean, I I don't have a

push back to that specific claim, but

I'm pretty sure that the Democrats are

saying it's the opposite. And if you

haven't personally looked at the, you

know, looked into the data, you can't

really trust either side. you you you

should assume that the Republicans will

say the Democrats are the violent ones

even if they're not. And you should

assume that the Democrats will say the

Republicans are the violent ones even if

they're not. So there's no credibility

whatsoever to any of these claims. One

of them is true because they're

opposites. You know, one of them is

doing more bad things, but I don't know

if he could tell. And I'm not sure I

care that much that, you know, one does

a little bit more than the other because

most of these people are individual

nutcases.

So, I don't know. It it just feels like

there there's definitely something to

all these people getting worked up by

the fake news. That's something to worry

about. Uh but it's a lot of crazy

people.

Well, Mario

is writing about Ukraine. Apparently,

Russia launched last night 500 to 650

drones attacking Kiev and other parts of

Ukraine, I guess. Um, had 55 cruise

missiles, eight calibers, I guess that's

a missile, and two hypersonic missiles

and several KH59s. So, that was a pretty

major attack. So, the question is, is

Russia increasing its acts? because uh

Trump is now basically saying um he's

going to help Trump is essentially

saying that he's going to help uh

Ukraine actually just win the war

outright.

Maybe I think that's more negotiating

than anything else, but uh it's

definitely a new look.

And uh Trump has authorized Ukraine

according to Austin Defender on X. He's

authorized Ukraine to carry out long

range drone and missile strikes against

targets inside Russia. Uh but some of

them will require Pentagon approval. So

why would

why would Russia treat it like they're

at war with Ukraine if we're providing

the missiles

uh and giving them permission to use

them deep inside Russia? Do you think

that Russia will be able to forever

resist lobbing a missile into the

homeland of the United States?

I don't think we're completely safe from

Russia just making a point. Just just

lobbing some missiles into the US, you

know, maybe not having the most damage

or or death, but just saying, "All

right, here's the deal. If you're going

to help Ukraine lobb missiles into

Moscow,

we're going to we're going to help uh

ourselves lobb some missiles into your

cities cuz why wouldn't they? I mean,

really, why wouldn't they? So, I do

worry that there's going to be a new

level of uh escalation here that could

come to the homeland, but I don't know.

Um, I do also assume that uh Trump and

company know more than we do about

what's up in Russia. One possibility is

that our military and and our government

knows, and I don't know this to be true.

I'm just speculating, that Russia might

be in worse shape than we think, and

that they might be closer to having to

fold or or give up. Maybe for economic

reasons, maybe they don't want to lose

their their oil business. You know,

maybe they know that if we totally

unleash Ukraine with better weapons,

they're in trouble. So maybe Trump knows

something we don't that Russia might be

closer to something like a a deal or a

surrender. I don't know, but I'll tell

you, it looks pretty dangerous.

We'll keep an eye on that.

Um, did you know that Turning Point USA

is listed by the ADL in their glossery

of extremism and hate?

So, that's the ADL. Um, Elon Musk says

that's, you know, deeply wrong. And, uh,

makes me wonder if the ADL should list

themselves as a hate group because do

they meet all the criteria? What what

would it take to be a hate group?

Um, the ADL says that I'm a Holocaust uh

denier.

Is that something that you do if you're

not a hate group?

Why would you even do that? Um,

anyway, so you always want to be in the

team that gets to label others. You

don't want to be in the team team that

gets labeled.

So, the ADL um I think there I think the

ADL's purpose has maybe run its course.

Uh if I had to guess, I think there's a

nonzero chance the ADL will not be in

business a year from now because I think

it's, you know, remember the ADL is not

Israel. Israel doesn't run the ADL and I

don't think that they're super backing

them in everything they do. So, if

Israel is not, you know, completely

backing them and the United States is

not completely backing them and they're

not helping anybody because I don't

think they are. I don't know. I don't

know if they'll last another year. We

shall see.

Um, Trump and company have released a

what they call a 21.2 Gaza peace plan.

Um, here's what it would call for.

Immediate ceasefire, freeze, a freeze on

battle lines, a release of all hostages

and within two days. Hamas's weapons

would be destroyed.

Um, fighters would have to accept

coexistence with Israel and they'd get

emnacy and safe passage abroad

so they could leave the country if they

were worried.

um a possible and pave the path to a

possible Palestinian statethood.

Now, Palestinian statethood is not

something that Israel wants or at least

the current leader of Israel. Um so, I

don't know about that one happening.

And Israel would free hundreds of

Palestinian prisoners. And in response

to having all their prisoners back,

Israel would halt plans to demolish or

annex Gaza and would gradually withdraw

its forces

and anyone who wants to return to Gaza

after leaving will be allowed to do so.

Uh Gaza would get a temporary government

overseen by an international group

involving the US and Arab countries and

European nations and they would develop

a new economic plan to revitalize it.

And the US and Arab allies would craft a

stabilization force and to build up

security in Gaza.

Well, how many of you think any of

that's going to happen?

And I feel like I'm so beaten down. Uh,

you know, what two years of uh of war

since October 7th, and I I just don't

see any of that happening. Do you? I see

none of that happening. Like just none

of it. I feel that Israel's best

interest

would be to just take the heat and take

the country

because yeah, who knows if they can

survive that by the way. That that would

be that'd be quite a step. So, Israel

would have to deal with the

repercussions of that forever and that

would be pretty big repercussions. So

they might not even be able to survive

it. If they try to try to just take Gaza

and absorb it and kick out all the

Palestinians that were in Gaza, might

not be survivable. I don't know. I'm not

smart enough to know how much of a

danger that would be. But um I don't see

either side agreeing to all the

important parts. I just don't see it. Do

you?

So I'd love to be wrong. Wouldn't it be

great if they worked everything out? But

I don't know. I don't see any chance it

could happen.

Uh, well, the UN sanctions on Iran have

snapped back into place because they

were unable to agree on terms for

ongoing inspections of their nuclear

facilities. Are you surprised that Iran

did not give the West everything it

wanted in inspections?

No surprise.

Uh, apparently Russia is arming and

training a Chinese airborne battalion

with uh, you know, all kinds of their

their best equipment and everything. And

analysts think that maybe what they're

doing is preparing for a Taiwan

invasion. Not Russia, but who they're

training in China. Um, do you think do

you do you think that China is literally

preparing for an invasion?

I wouldn't rule it out, you know, or at

the very least they might want us to

think they're planning it to put the

pressure on, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Um, I wouldn't rule it in, you know. I

wouldn't I wouldn't bet on it, but I

wouldn't rule it out. I think there's a

solid

25% chance that China has a, you know, a

specific plan with a date that they're

going to go take Taiwan. And I'm pretty

sure they could take it if they wanted

to. Um, Bad Bunny is a music star that I

didn't know much about, but apparently

that will be the Super Bowl halftime

entertainment. But Bad Bunny is I'm

learning today Puerto Rican and his

songs are primarily in Spanish with very

little English. So people are saying,

"Uh, why are you doing that?" You know,

we're an English-speaking country.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have

Englishspeaking music? But Bad Bunny is

very popular. So I mean, Bad Bunny is

popular in this country, too. So I'm not

sure that's a mistake. People will

complain. But having a little bit of

interesting diversity isn't the worst

thing in the world. All right. Um,

that's all I got for you today. Going to

keep it a little bit short. I'll remind

you again that if you haven't seen it,

um, I did a podcast last night um, with

Dr. Drew and Greg Gfeld who were nice

enough to stop by my place yesterday.

So, we sat in my kitchen and did a did a

podcast which according to the comments

people really really liked. Um, and and

I got to tell you that the

one of the many cool things about that

experience is that the three of us are

so experienced at talking in public that

that we could just turn on the cameras

and do like what turned out to be 83

minutes of content without any

preparation.

Now, I have to admit there aren't too

many people who could do, you know, 83

minutes of apparently content that

people really enjoyed based on the

comments. U but we've all been doing it

for a long time. So, it it went better

than I could have hoped actually. So, if

you want to see what my kitchen looks

like from one angle anyway, uh you can

watch that. So you can find that on

YouTube or on X or on Locals or on

Rumble. And so far everybody likes it a

lot. So that's good.

All right. Um

yeah, a lot of people are saying we

should do it on a regular basis, but

there there's one thing that the three

of us have in common is that we each we

each have about four jobs a piece.

I I don't think we could add another

another job. I don't think that's an

option.

But maybe we'll get to do it again

someday. We'll see. All right, that's

all I got for you. I'm going to talk to

the local subscribers, the beloved local

subscribers privately. And uh the rest

of you, thanks for joining. I will see

you tomorrow, same time, same place.
