Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1305 Scott Adams： Democrats Eat Their Own, Trump Has a Path Back to the Presidency, and More

00:00:00.000 hey everybody come on in come on in do you have your coffee ready do you yeah well good run if

00:00:16.740 you don't run i say because it's time for the best part of the day it's called the simultaneous sip

00:00:23.500 and coffee with scott adams luckily i'm scott adams so that means you're in the right place

00:00:29.260 at the right time two things that went right for you today and i think you know what's coming

00:00:35.860 yeah yeah all you need is a copper mug or glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask

00:00:42.360 a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the

00:00:50.360 unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called

00:00:54.380 the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen now go

00:00:58.840 all right i will add now to your list of twitter accounts which you should be following

00:01:12.260 because there are people that i will quote often and have useful different things to say and this

00:01:19.760 one is rasmussen reports so the folks who do the rasmussen poll you need to follow their twitter

00:01:27.220 account because there's more interesting stuff coming out of their polls than there is in the

00:01:32.780 news right now actually so the polls are more interesting than the news here's uh something

00:01:37.900 that rasmussen reported it was on a tweet today two-thirds of all americans 65 years and older have

00:01:45.340 been vaccinated what did that kind of sneak up on you i didn't think it was this good two-thirds of

00:01:56.260 all americans over 65 have been vaccinated wow is that true and what should we be asking instead

00:02:08.080 what percentage of obese americans have been vaccinated sorry but we're in a health crisis and we can no

00:02:18.280 longer pretend that being overweight is healthy there was a uh tweet uh i saw this morning talk about

00:02:29.260 timing um let's see jose rosada just twitter user uh tweets a cover of cosmo from just

00:02:38.020 a month ago that showed a um i've told you before i don't do fat shaming so when i go into this

00:02:46.200 topic if i use a word like fat it's not an insult word i'm just speaking casually okay are we on the

00:02:54.440 same page we're not doing any fat shaming here today or any other day but we'll speak casually about

00:03:00.520 it because it's important um so it was a photo of a very overweight woman uh prancing around on the 0.98

00:03:10.900 cover and the cover said basically that this is healthy showed a very very large woman said this is

00:03:17.940 healthy now i'm not going to comment on whether that is a good or bad thing to put on a magazine

00:03:23.840 cover but i will tell you that uh the current information is that the odds of dying from covid are

00:03:30.920 10 times higher if you're above a certain weight 10 times the pandemic was really an overeating pandemic

00:03:41.660 it really was because if you needed two things to die

00:03:46.820 nine nine out of ten times you know it's not not a complete uh statement but if you needed two

00:03:55.120 things to die you needed the virus but you also most of the time like nine out of ten times

00:04:01.940 you had to be a certain weight was it the virus that killed you

00:04:06.340 or was it having two problems that killed you and either one of them would not have

00:04:13.960 individually how do you say it's the one thing that killed you and not the other thing when both of

00:04:19.660 them are known to be deadly health risks and you need both of them most times you know nine out of

00:04:26.720 ten times you need both of them in order to have the worst result so i feel as if this is another case

00:04:34.120 where being trying to be uh politically correct which is to say that people who are above a certain

00:04:42.800 weight are perfectly healthy because we know that's not true we know that's not true but again don't do

00:04:51.740 fat shaving it's a legitimate medical issue and um it's just it's crazy that we ignore it now here's a

00:05:01.920 counterfactual we saw that uh the countries that have the worst um weight problems also have bad

00:05:09.780 outcomes but wouldn't that hold for states within a country shouldn't you expect the same correlation

00:05:16.640 that wherever you have the uh largest citizens you should have the worst outcomes right here are three

00:05:25.240 states in the united states who are unusually good on controlling weight three states that have low bmi so

00:05:36.960 these are these are the least fat among the least fat states of the united states here they are the least fat

00:05:47.240 fat people are let's see new york new jersey and california how did they do with the coronavirus three worst ones

00:06:00.720 right so our three are three three of among the the skinniest of our states new york new jersey

00:06:08.520 and california pretty big difference between their weights and these those states and other states

00:06:14.740 and they did the worst they did the worst what's that mean well we every time we think we found the

00:06:23.580 golden nugget of data that explains everything ah sweden now we know what's oh no we don't oh it's the

00:06:31.400 bmi every time you see okay no that doesn't work there are just a few too many variables going on

00:06:38.580 i'll just toss out a few things that could be making this misleading number one florida does not have a

00:06:47.160 border with mexico why is it that every time we mentioned california every time why don't we say

00:06:56.780 well california is basically mexico now when you're looking at the virus because once the border

00:07:03.540 becomes porous it becomes porous and largely it was porous during trump as well that's not just

00:07:09.480 something new with biden maybe it's worse but why do we not mention that california and mexico should be

00:07:17.580 effectively seen as the same continuum of virus problem the border doesn't have doesn't have

00:07:26.160 meaning to a virus whereas florida's over there surrounded mostly by water and then united states

00:07:34.860 does that not matter are we going to treat look treat that like that's not a variable that

00:07:40.800 needs to be put into the conversation

00:07:43.420 um yeah i feel as if that's another wokeness problem where we can't mention that it seems obvious that if you

00:07:53.440 have a porous border during a pandemic you have less control of quarantining and stuff i mean that's

00:07:59.240 not that's not a statement about anybody right that's just math so i guess we're not allowed to

00:08:05.300 say that so we're not allowed to say that it was a weight problem as much as a virus problem

00:08:11.740 as much as it was a virus problem it was equally a weight problem if we can't say that out loud

00:08:20.280 how do you fix things if you can't even talk about them right and we don't have to shame anybody to

00:08:27.260 just state that there's a health impact all right um even california is starting to open up

00:08:36.780 even my restrictive stupid incompetent state starting to open up so even some mass events will have

00:08:46.920 small crowds but there'll be at least big events i don't know about you but today is the day

00:08:55.140 i feel like we won now one of the problems with uh beating a pandemic is that there's no day when you

00:09:05.600 can say oh the war is over it's not like you fight a regular war against people and then you have an event

00:09:12.620 and you sign a sign a peace deal or whatever surrender deal and you have a day that that's

00:09:18.440 the end of it so the pandemic won't have a day i feel like we need one i feel like we need one

00:09:25.760 when it's over whatever day everybody who's smart says yeah it's definitely over we should have some

00:09:33.140 kind of a celebration maybe not every year i don't know if we need to add a holiday but we need

00:09:38.940 one good celebration in this country anyway to acknowledge what the hell we just did and are

00:09:47.660 doing here's my take on it as of today i feel we won i feel like the war is over now it's not over

00:09:58.840 there's way more work to do right but it feels like the kind of work that's more like the marshall plan

00:10:05.160 i feel like we're you know as much in the recovery phase as we are in the fighting the war phase at

00:10:12.760 this point so i feel like something amazing has happened when was the last time the entire world

00:10:23.200 was on the same page when was the last time the entire world had to fight the same battle

00:10:31.100 even if you took world war ii and you say well in world war ii you know the whole world got together

00:10:38.320 no it didn't no it didn't the whole world was fighting against other parts of the world

00:10:42.940 that was when people were fighting other people that's what a world war is people versus people

00:10:49.040 this is the first time as far as i know the first time the entire humankind

00:10:56.380 has ever joined in the same side of the same war can you think of it can you think of anything like

00:11:04.240 it i can't in in many ways this is the greatest thing humanity has ever done in the sense of uh it

00:11:13.360 has the communication tools you know the the ability to coordinate as one giant entity you know i wrote a

00:11:20.120 book called uh god's debris years ago and i won't give away the central conceit of the book as lawyers

00:11:27.720 like yes not lawyers as uh authors like to use big words and i feel as if this was the year

00:11:36.860 the humanity became in a small way just sort of glancing it one entity meaning that before this

00:11:48.720 year you could say we had seven billion people and they were just separate entities yeah some of them

00:11:54.240 operated as governments and some of them operated as organizations but for the most part it was just

00:11:59.880 seven plus billion individuals with some rules and then the pandemic hit and suddenly every single

00:12:09.320 human was on the same side yeah we you know we argue with china and stuff but there's no question that 0.85

00:12:15.980 both china and the united states wanted to beat the virus once it was out there so i feel as if

00:12:22.820 something so big has happened that you can't see it because that could happen right sometimes

00:12:32.040 something can be so big that it's invisible and the thing that is so big is that humanity just evolved

00:12:40.320 into another sentient being

00:12:43.020 that's how big it is that humanity became a new collective sentient being first time first time for

00:12:57.160 all of us to be on the same page and you know of course there are exceptions or people who never even

00:13:02.860 heard of the virus living in uncontacted tribes and whatnot but but largely largely we just became a one entity

00:13:12.300 and will that have lasting benefits i think so think of all the medical community people who now know each

00:13:19.140 other especially in the virology world who now have met each other and shared techniques and tools now have

00:13:25.640 an open channel to each other than never had it before right humanity

00:13:31.320 is starting to compete with god you've got uh elon musk literally getting ready to put people

00:13:42.620 on mars what do you think we're going to do when we get there we're going to terraform it

00:13:48.360 eventually now i i don't know that you know elon musk has any specific plan for terraforming mars

00:13:57.120 but it's going to happen it's going to happen humans have reached the point

00:14:04.480 where we can turn a planet into a different planet think about it that's that's completely within our

00:14:13.140 scope of probability it's not even just a possibility it's a probability

00:14:17.980 probability at this point that humans will terraform another planet maybe in your lifetime the beginning

00:14:24.600 of it so we have evolved into almost a god-like not equal to god but you know in some of the lesser

00:14:34.080 abilities almost god-like and believe it or not i'm not stoned i see somebody asking in the in the

00:14:43.400 comments no no i'm not i know it's amazing too optimistic now i know some of you are on the the

00:14:52.500 opposite page you're saying to yourself my god that's not what happened 1984 came early uh the big powers

00:14:58.920 that be have all coordinated to give us this fake pandemic they say and the real reason is to consolidate

00:15:05.020 power no it isn't no it isn't none of that happened there was no meeting where where like uh shadowy

00:15:16.860 figures got together and said if we if we release this pandemic and handle it a certain way uh we'll get

00:15:24.560 we'll concentrate all the power in our hands that didn't happen that didn't happen and uh but a lot

00:15:34.800 of people will believe it happened along those lines i've decided that there's a great need that needs to

00:15:40.880 be filled and i think i'm going to start filling it it goes like this you've heard me say before

00:15:46.100 that um defense attorneys especially the ones who are defending people you're pretty sure are guilty

00:15:53.800 are not really serving just the client a defense attorney is serving the public because the

00:16:00.840 public has a tremendous need to know that trials are fair and that the the accused gets like the most

00:16:08.080 aggressive defense they could possibly have because you want that when you get accused of something

00:16:12.680 right so when we like to hate the lawyers that take the case of somebody who's heinous you know a

00:16:19.800 serial killer and you know who's going to defend oj and you see you want to hate those lawyers for being

00:16:25.580 like on the side of evil but they're not they're exactly the opposite of that they're on your side because

00:16:32.940 if you don't have those aggressive defense lawyers you don't have anything you don't have anything if

00:16:38.780 you get rid of them the whole system's gone right but look what's happened recently we used to have

00:16:46.820 uh the judicial system which would be the only place you could go to to be judged and then um a penalty

00:16:54.520 assessed if you were judged guilty but that's changed now the judicial system is only one of the places

00:17:03.680 that you can be judged for your alleged crime and punished it's only one of the places now the other

00:17:12.800 places in public opinion because our social media and our communications are so good now we we've

00:17:20.300 developed almost a shadow court where you can be uh you can be charged like dr seuss dr seuss is being

00:17:29.480 charged of basically a crime against humanity in you know even that what's the word when you're tried

00:17:36.800 after your dad what's the fancy word for that put it in the comments so i can remember it um and if he

00:17:44.020 were alive he would be penalized right now what is it that the judicial system has that this new system

00:17:54.900 that just evolved this shadow court of public opinion what does it not have as a system i'll tell you

00:18:02.260 what it doesn't have suppose you're accused of something horrible and let's say there's a big

00:18:09.180 article about it in some major publication and you don't personally have a lot of twitter followers you

00:18:15.840 don't personally write for a national magazine and maybe if they even had you on they'd only give you

00:18:21.860 one minute if you went on tv so you can't really defend yourself you are completely defenseless

00:18:28.160 if you were if you don't have your own platform now somebody like trump can just create his own

00:18:35.060 platform everything he says gets attention but the rest of you can't how do you create your own

00:18:41.640 platform and defend yourself against being accused tried convicted and penalized losing your job losing

00:18:50.280 your friends losing your reputation what the hell do you do well i'll tell you one thing that's missing 0.60

00:18:56.140 in the process a defense lawyer where's the defense lawyer right once you're accused it's sort of the

00:19:03.920 end of the story because you don't have recourse and so i've decided that in some cases i can't do

00:19:11.820 a lot of them i'm going to be that defense lawyer so i'm going to pick people who have been accused of

00:19:19.000 heinous things and i don't know how many of these i can do but i'm going to essentially act as the

00:19:27.420 defense i'll have them on as a guest and i'll give them a non-limited time to give me their side of the

00:19:35.380 story i'll push them as hard as i can right it's not my job to i'm not going to try to redeem people

00:19:41.020 right i'm not trying to fix them i'm just going to give them a voice because right now there's no

00:19:48.760 defense lawyer and part of the reason there can be no defense lawyer in the in the public realm

00:19:54.580 is that being the defense lawyer would ruin you as well right your life your career your your job

00:20:03.000 all of it would be at risk if you were to publicly defend somebody who was accused of something terrible

00:20:09.220 so i'm going to do it because you know what if i if i get uh accused of heinous things by defending

00:20:19.900 or somebody will think i'm defending rather i'm just giving them a voice uh if i'm accused of all

00:20:25.680 those things fuck fuck everybody fuck all of you i'm gonna do whatever i want and uh you're just gonna 1.00

00:20:32.060 have to deal with it so i'm in a unique situation in which i'm hard to cancel i am cancelable

00:20:38.680 i'm very cancelable but i'm a little bit hard to cancel and it it creates sort of a spider-man

00:20:46.040 problem do you know what the spider-man problem is the spider-man famously says in one of his movies

00:20:52.820 uh with great power comes great responsibility now it's not that i have great power but i do have a

00:21:00.640 uh let's say a sort of a special uh i don't want to call myself special but but the place i

00:21:08.520 occupy is special meaning that i can just get away with more stuff than you can get away with because

00:21:14.900 i don't have the same penalty problem so i feel as if i have to do it like i i feel like it's it's

00:21:22.640 like this uh this magnetic call that's saying okay you know you're you can do this so you have to

00:21:29.700 do you get that have you ever felt that that you're the only one who can

00:21:35.500 so you have to right it's like uh there's a fiery wreck on the highway and the car's on fire

00:21:43.300 and everybody stops and they want to help but everybody's afraid except one person always in

00:21:50.100 a pickup truck you you don't have to like this but the one person who saves you usually arrives

00:21:57.440 in a pickup truck i don't know why i'm not saying that this would hold in all cases i'm just saying

00:22:03.600 if somebody's going to save your damn life and you're and you're in a lot of trouble the person 0.85

00:22:10.740 who's going to save your life probably will arrive in a pickup truck i'm just saying you you can

00:22:18.380 interpret that any way you want it's just true they're going to probably arrive in a pickup truck

00:22:23.080 and one of those people is going to say i will reach in that truck and pull that person out

00:22:27.980 and i'll get you know third degree burns and stuff but i'll do that and the reason they will do it is

00:22:35.400 that they know they can that's the only reason a bunch of people show up everybody's afraid to reach

00:22:42.020 into the burning wreck and there's one person who says i'll do it and they have to they have to

00:22:47.440 because they can that's it we're we're sort of built that way you have to help if you can

00:22:52.960 so i didn't pick this place but i'm i'm going to be uh defending some people that maybe you wish i

00:23:00.980 hadn't okay so i'm going to be setting this up and as we go but we'll we'll bring a voice to the

00:23:08.440 people who uh are most let's say most controversial and we'll see where that goes

00:23:14.920 all right um no i tried it out a little bit with uh i talked to nicki klein most of you saw that

00:23:24.000 interview uh she was associated with the nexium what people call a cult but they didn't call a cult

00:23:32.100 um and i thought that that went well that was well received so i think i want to do more of

00:23:37.560 that kind of thing all right um here's the most fun hypothesis speculation i've seen all day

00:23:50.100 christopher hill tweeted this he's a good follow you should follow him on twitter christopher hill

00:23:55.520 anyway um he tweeted a meme that shows a path for trump to win the presidency but is way more fun

00:24:05.000 than just running in 2024 are you ready all right follow this path and tell me which part could not

00:24:11.520 happen all right is this something he could easily do tell me what wouldn't work on the following

00:24:18.920 number one trump runs for the senate in 2022 from florida could he win i don't even know who else would

00:24:29.220 be running right but could so here's the first part could trump win the senate if he ran in 2022

00:24:34.660 i feel i feel yes i feel yes especially in florida right so that part seems practical i'm not saying he

00:24:42.700 would do this this is just for fun next if he had lots of coattails because we saw that when trump

00:24:50.620 um was was uh supporting other candidates they won almost every time so could trump

00:24:58.660 based on let's say whatever bad job we think biden does between now and then and and the congress of

00:25:06.040 course looks like a bunch of animals at this point could he win enough uh bring enough people with him

00:25:13.720 with his coattails that the republicans could take back congress and the senate i mean congress do you

00:25:22.180 think he could do that he kind of could i think he kind of could now everything depends on how well

00:25:29.920 biden does between now and then but imagine a world in which biden continues to fail the things that

00:25:37.400 biden does end up having to be the same thing trump did or it doesn't work right so take immigration and

00:25:45.580 kids in cages biden either has to end up doing the same thing trump did or he has to fail

00:25:51.720 what are what are his other choices right so every time biden is in that situation where he either has

00:26:01.040 to do what trump did or fail he's just going to look worse and worse as as trump will look better

00:26:08.760 and better so yeah i think it is actually possible that trump could and again i don't think he'll do

00:26:16.820 this it's just fun to talk about uh he could run for senate he could win in florida and he could have

00:26:21.760 enough coattails he might actually flip the whole the whole house and the senate that's how that could do 0.90

00:26:28.800 it gets better you you want to hear the good part and then trump becomes speaker of the house

00:26:37.160 you feel it yet and then trump becomes speaker of the house and takes nancy pelosi's job

00:26:45.940 i'm not done wait i'm not done have i said anything yet that you can't imagine happening now again i don't

00:26:56.860 think it'll happen but is any part of this impossible it really isn't is it right it gets it gets better

00:27:05.540 now trump's the speaker of the house and then he leads the impeachment against harris and biden

00:27:14.720 for promoting the fine people hoax

00:27:18.180 and we know that uh votes for impeachment just follow party lines so it wouldn't matter if that

00:27:30.040 was a good case a bad case it wouldn't matter if you think anybody should be impeached for any of that

00:27:34.560 it would only matter how many republicans there are

00:27:38.060 and if they decide to impeach both harris and biden and by the way this is fully impeachable

00:27:47.280 the fine people hoax is a very impeachable offense in my opinion it drives the country apart

00:27:53.580 i mean it's just the worst thing that's ever happened in this country in my opinion

00:27:57.520 that that was done intentionally anyway

00:27:59.880 um so now let's say he he impeaches successfully biden and harris who's the president

00:28:07.580 that's right the speaker of the house becomes the president if both the president and the vice

00:28:20.420 president are impeached trump would take the last two years of biden's term i'm not done yet

00:28:29.860 i'm not done yet and then in 2024 he runs for president

00:28:36.440 now again i don't think this is going to happen and the main reason i don't think it's going to

00:28:47.600 happen is i can't see trump running for a lesser office as funny as it would be i can't see him

00:28:53.860 doing it and being a senator is sort of a it's sort of a it's less fun

00:28:59.320 than being president right so i can't see trump doing it but the fact that this path even exists

00:29:05.900 the fact that it even could happen is so delicious that i almost can't stand it

00:29:13.640 all right um i'm going to talk about uh some stuff that will probably get me canceled next you ready

00:29:22.280 this next topic people get canceled for even mentioning it so you may never see me again

00:29:30.360 and i'd like to begin by begging to the gods of social media please do not misinterpret what i say

00:29:42.000 next please let me remain a vital part of the social media platforms let me let me exist

00:29:51.640 please don't cancel me um i'm going to quote again rasmussen i told you you should follow them

00:30:00.580 they're making all kinds of news today and they're tweeting a story in one of the georgia

00:30:05.640 local publication that says the following and before i tell you this have i mentioned

00:30:12.200 that the courts have found no proof of widespread voter fraud hear that hear that as clearly as you can

00:30:25.400 the courts have found no proof no proof of widespread widespread voter fraud so let's all agree on that

00:30:37.800 that's just a fact that's just a fact don't cancel me don't cancel me

00:30:42.760 and so i give you the following fact as reported by rasmussen in a tweet um there's a publication that

00:30:53.960 reports it uh that georgia's chain of custody for the votes the mail-in votes is missing over 400 000

00:31:03.000 mail-in ballots for georgia and then georgia um the ballot transfer forms and they show you the uh

00:31:12.680 the chain of custody so there's some forms that need to be filled out as part of the normal process

00:31:19.480 of voting in georgia and what percentage of the mail-in ballots by the way i think georgia was won by only

00:31:27.640 12 000 votes so the the margin of difference in georgia is 12 000 votes but there are over 400 000 votes

00:31:37.800 where the chain of custody is missing according to this publication and the ballot transfer forms show

00:31:46.920 78 percent of 89 000 absentee ballots from drop boxes were not transported to the registrar quote

00:31:55.480 immediately as election code rules require now i don't know what immediately requires like what

00:32:03.240 would it immediately mean i would say immediately would be within 24 hours maybe if that feels immediate

00:32:11.000 to me um so we have two alleged i'm not saying this it's not me i'm just saying what other people

00:32:22.360 are alleging please don't cancel me um what do you think of that now who is working on fixing this

00:32:34.920 well who's the politician who says well you can argue about what happened but we've already moved on

00:32:41.240 biden is your president um but we'll fix it for next time we're not saying there was any fraud we're

00:32:48.920 just saying that there's a transparency problem who's working on that which which one of our uh

00:32:56.920 important uh national or even state politicians is working on fixing this nobody nobody not even trying

00:33:07.080 if you thought we had a real election we didn't there was not transparency without transparency you didn't

00:33:14.440 have an election does that get me canceled let me say it again if you don't have transparency in the

00:33:22.520 election process you only think you had an election you didn't have a fucking election you had one you think 0.94

00:33:30.360 you had and that's it if there's no transparency or insufficient transparency so um i do agree that biden's

00:33:39.880 the president the system has installed him that should not change through any anything other than a vote

00:33:47.800 or impeachment i suppose but uh how do you ignore this i don't know um tom peters who you may know as

00:33:58.200 one of the most famous business management gurus in the world had this to say about bernie sanders

00:34:05.880 i guess tom peters has lived in vermont for a long time uh or he used to he said speaking as a former

00:34:11.880 long-term vermonter ho-hum bernie has never proposed anything that is doable

00:34:20.040 as of my departure from vermont bernie had accomplished zero in his career other than to be in favor of quote

00:34:27.080 good things and i think to myself i don't think that's an unfair statement that he's never done anything

00:34:34.680 except propose things that can't be done

00:34:39.160 now what's the difference between bernie proposing things that can't be done versus trump proposing

00:34:47.640 things that can't be done do you know what the difference is trump doesn't both trump and bernie

00:34:56.680 have the same quality they both propose things that can't be done but the difference is that trump

00:35:03.320 doesn't vaccinations you can't do that in less than 18 months oh okay i guess you did it right

00:35:12.280 getting some kind of a peace with north korea are you kidding me you can't have a any kind of a

00:35:17.640 stability or friendship with north oh oh he did it

00:35:22.680 you can't possibly have a trade war with china and you know expect that anything good get 0.98

00:35:33.320 oh trump did it he did it so that's a pretty big difference isn't it they both promise the

00:35:42.200 impossible but one doesn't now i know you hate this topic but i always i have to throw aoc in here

00:35:49.640 because she's one of the few interesting people to watch these days aoc is she is she bernie 0.90

00:35:57.800 promising things that really can't be done that won't be done or or is she trump

00:36:07.240 now she hasn't been in a position where she can do the impossible she's recommending the impossible 0.83

00:36:12.120 but suppose she were in a position to do the impossible could she do it trump did bernie

00:36:21.160 didn't how do you know well i would not say it's it's any way obvious that she could pull off the 0.79

00:36:29.320 impossible i'm just saying it's hard to tell isn't it sometimes you don't know who can do the impossible

00:36:34.840 um but that's an open question all right uh the other favorite story of the day is that uh watching

00:36:42.440 this will be my segment democrats eat their own so i guess last night bill maher had charlemagne the god

00:36:49.720 on and you would see both of them as associated with the left right and i guess they were arguing

00:36:59.000 uh on the show about which of these democratic leaders is more rapey um was it joe biden who was

00:37:06.840 accused of worse sexual offenses or is it uh andrew colmo and to watch to uh i would i don't think you

00:37:16.920 could call uh bill maher a democrat exactly but at least in policy and philosophy philosophy he's more aligned

00:37:25.080 i think at least lately but watching these two sort of big names in that space arguing about which

00:37:33.080 democrat was more of a rapist or more sexually inappropriate not you know i'm exaggerating with

00:37:40.280 the the rape claim um it kind of tells you where things are going doesn't it and um

00:37:49.640 so this is happening in the context of you know dr seuss getting cancelled the trump vaccinations saving

00:37:58.440 the world and you know iran is heating up and if you see if you see uh bill maher and charlemagne the god

00:38:07.240 arguing about which democrat is more of a sexual abuser do you really think trump can't win in 2024

00:38:15.000 because as long as as long as trump stays sort of uh on the sideline but in our minds you know these

00:38:25.000 these little press releases he puts out the hit pieces on carl rove and you know hit piece of this

00:38:30.440 and that are kind of effective because it keeps him in the news but he's not making mistakes because

00:38:37.320 he's not in office right you don't have as much to criticize when somebody's not in office

00:38:41.400 so i feel as if trump just has to sort of rope a dope you know let let the other side punch itself

00:38:48.760 out so to speak and he just has to walk into the job now health of course would be the big thing

00:38:54.760 and let me say as as clearly as i can so that i have some credibility here i don't think we should

00:39:01.880 have presidents of that age i don't think trump should be president at that age and i don't think

00:39:08.760 biden should be president at this age it's just too old and there's no way around that right now

00:39:17.880 i'm going to reserve a decision about whether trump should be president in 2024 because i think every

00:39:25.800 month that goes by you have a better read on his health so if it's a month before election day 2024

00:39:33.240 i'm going to be looking really hard at whether trump it looks like he's still operating at peak

00:39:39.960 performance or at least whatever the peak was for the first administration and if it's not there i

00:39:47.240 don't know i i'm i don't think i can back somebody who's mentally degraded if that happens i don't think

00:39:54.360 it's happened but if it happens i think you got to take that into consideration so as i said with

00:40:02.120 the vaccination my own decision will wait as long as possible and let me ask you this do you remember

00:40:09.480 you were told that the vaccination would have side effects and that you might have some flu-like symptoms

00:40:16.520 you might feel achy and have a terrible day for maybe a day or so remember you heard that and now

00:40:25.000 millions of people have been vaccinated how many news reports have you heard

00:40:31.560 of people having a hard time with the side effects of the vaccination itself

00:40:35.480 it feels like there's a news blackout doesn't it doesn't it because even the people who made the

00:40:46.280 vaccination said there's going to be a whole bunch of side effects and it's going to be unpleasant

00:40:53.000 where's that in the news i know i know personally somebody who had a really hard time with it

00:41:00.040 now of course he's happy he got it right it's somebody who definitely should have the shot

00:41:05.400 he had a hard day and a half but he's certainly happy he got it right now he's protected

00:41:12.600 90 million people vaccinated and the news is just silent both the left and the right they're just

00:41:19.640 silent on whether people are having a hard time with it is that good well if you were to look at it as

00:41:27.880 is the media in charge of the country you'd say that maybe that's good leadership because you want

00:41:33.960 people to get the shot if they have a bad day they have a bad day right that's just the cost of

00:41:39.480 getting to the other side of this but you would imagine that if it were reported more aggressively

00:41:45.400 that fewer people would get the shots right so is the news intentionally managing what we think

00:41:54.040 about this shot for the public good and i'm not even sure what i think about that

00:42:01.000 would you be mad at your news organizations if they decided to help save the world

00:42:06.120 by under reporting this thing that doesn't make much difference you know the side effects it doesn't

00:42:12.840 make much difference but if they reported it honestly fewer people would get the shot that's

00:42:17.480 just a fact right it feels like we're being managed doesn't it it feels very much like both the left and

00:42:25.000 the right news have decided that they just don't want to talk about that because it wouldn't be good for

00:42:30.360 the world to do it maybe or maybe the side effects are not nearly as bad as we thought which one is it

00:42:40.840 somebody says take ibuprofen after the second shot i don't know if that's a medical advice so don't

00:42:47.400 don't take that as medical advice i'm just reading a comment all right um

00:42:52.760 um so here's a story why don't you see if you can judge whether this is real news or fake news

00:43:05.480 this comes from the daily mail british publication they say that back in 2012 a north carolina man

00:43:12.840 hit a 10-inch revolver in his rectum after being booked into jail he even passed a squat and cough test

00:43:20.680 do you believe that in nine that in 2012 a man who was booked into jail had hit a 10-inch revolver

00:43:33.560 handle and all in his rectum now i assume it was loaded because it would be hard to smuggle

00:43:42.040 bullets into jail so you'd want to load it but here's my advice to the next uh the next prison

00:43:50.280 doctor who does or guard or whatever who asked somebody to do a squat and cough test during the

00:43:57.320 cough stand to the side because i feel like the cough could fire the gun now imagine if it did

00:44:08.440 imagine if the guy you know i guess they make you strip and bend over and cough to show that there's

00:44:14.360 nothing back there but what if the gun fired could he escape from prison by running down the hall and

00:44:23.320 whatever the guard came after him he could quickly drop his pants turn around bend over cough shoot the

00:44:32.200 guard with the bullet that comes out of his rectum and then pull up his pants and then run to the next

00:44:38.200 wreck's doorway i don't want anybody to be shot i'm just saying that if he had escaped from prison

00:44:50.120 by coughing and shooting bullets out of his rectum it would be the greatest story ever told 0.53

00:44:56.600 that's all i'm saying don't want it to happen i don't want a criminal to escape i don't want anybody

00:45:02.120 to be shot but if it had happened greatest story ever told i think you'd agree i think you'd agree

00:45:12.600 it's a movie that needs to be made if this isn't a uh

00:45:20.200 if uh if what's his name carrie uh

00:45:25.800 if he doesn't make this movie it's a waste waste of talent

00:45:28.840 uh and there's a story about uh kirsten cinema that nobody cares about so we'll skip that

00:45:36.840 all right um i believe that i've said most of what i want to say and the only thing i want to say

00:45:43.560 next is this

00:45:47.080 many of you also follow me on the locals platform

00:45:53.240 uh somebody says it sounds like a dr seuss book what would be the title of the

00:45:58.360 dr seuss book about the guy who escaped from prison by shooting bullets out of his rectum

00:46:05.480 um

00:46:08.280 i would say uh brown bullets and ham

00:46:13.480 i don't know can you come up with a better one top that i'm a professional so it's gonna be hard to

00:46:20.360 top that i know brown bullets and ham no brown bullets and spam brown bullets and spam jim carrey thank

00:46:27.720 you yes jim carrey should do the movie about the guy who escapes from prison with a 10-inch

00:46:33.640 uh revolver oh here's the other part i didn't even catch this the first time i read it the other part

00:46:40.520 is that it's a revolver

00:46:41.720 it's funnier that it's a revolver because that means if he does the cough and shoot

00:46:51.080 you can actually feel the revolver revolving in his stomach like

00:46:53.960 i didn't think that could get better but it did

00:47:00.760 all right um i have a question for you i've told you that what i'm going to try to do with these live

00:47:07.480 streams and more so with the subscription service on locals locals.com where people in my community

00:47:15.640 get to see stuff that they don't get to see here if you are if you are on locals

00:47:21.640 are you getting your money's worth so that's that's the question are you getting your money's

00:47:26.520 worth in turn and specifically not in terms of entertainment because i don't do it just for

00:47:31.320 entertainment do you get your are you getting your money's worth on the subscription service

00:47:36.280 locals people who follow me in terms of uh life uh let's say building your talent stack and improving

00:47:45.880 your life skills and it'll take me a moment to uh to see this okay i'm seeing lots of yes

00:47:54.600 um because every now and then i need to check in on that since my proposition is that it's supposed

00:48:00.360 to be helpful to you i don't want to guess if it's helpful oh good i'm seeing almost all yeses

00:48:08.120 uh i see i see one no but that might have been to another question i don't know all right so for

00:48:14.520 those of you who are following locals the benefit i hope you will get will be the micro lessons that

00:48:19.560 i put there each of those is designed that within you know two to five to minutes usually in two to

00:48:27.800 five minutes you would add something to your talent stack that wasn't there before or reinforce

00:48:32.280 something that needed it and the idea is that everybody watches me on locals will become more

00:48:38.280 happy and successful and i wish there were a way to measure that i'll bet if you measured the life

00:48:44.600 outcomes of the people who follow me on locals compared to the general public that the graph would

00:48:50.520 be completely different because just the feedback i get from people they're saying it's changing their

00:48:56.280 lives people losing 45 pounds people you know people getting twice as much income people falling

00:49:04.120 in love all kinds of stuff so uh check out the other comments if you're wondering if it's worth it

00:49:09.960 of course everybody has a different reaction but it looks like overwhelmingly the people who are

00:49:15.000 staying on that service are happy all right um that's all i got for today and i will talk to you tomorrow

00:49:26.280 right youtubers you've got me for uh so you're asking what the bleep happened to gutfeld what do you

00:49:36.120 mean i don't think anything happened to him um yes the local subscription is seven dollars a month

00:49:45.960 i think the platform will be looking to group subscriptions so you can subscribe to more than one person affordably

00:49:51.960 uh somebody's saying you said a few weeks ago that trump could never be re-elected it changed your mind

00:50:01.640 yes yes changed my mind it's amazing how easily you forget that whatever the size of the uh the drama

00:50:11.320 for that week is that you'll forget it in three weeks so the the capital assault i've already kind of

00:50:17.880 forgotten and forgotten and if you're talking about three four years from now it's just not going to

00:50:23.080 matter at all what will matter totally is how biden and harris did you know biden's mental capacity

00:50:30.760 that sort of thing so if if trump stays healthy and he and he doesn't have any competition

00:50:38.680 except the ones we know now yeah he could win but i would say uh the country would be far better off

00:50:49.560 if some more uh if some capable politician emerged who could get elected who was younger

00:50:57.880 but i don't see it happening who who do you see emerging who could uh beat trump in 2024 if you see

00:51:08.200 somebody emerging then i'll revise my opinion but as long as he's not really he's not competing against

00:51:14.280 anybody at the moment there's nobody in his class he is absolutely alone in his class wouldn't you say

00:51:24.040 everybody else you can think of who is strong as as a politician they're still they're still in the

00:51:30.760 the the they're they're not even in the same layer as trump is they're not even close

00:51:39.080 and i've never seen that before have you and you don't realize how big that gap is um until you see trump

00:51:47.640 talking in public again every side every time you see him talking in public even though he's violating the

00:51:53.240 fact-checking like crazy there's something extra going on that is undeniable there's just something

00:52:00.440 extra that he brings that nobody else has yeah desantis desantis is um doing a great job as a manager

00:52:14.680 and i hate to say that because i don't have anything negative to say about what whatsoever but when you

00:52:19.960 see somebody doing a good job as a manager it doesn't feel the same as a leader does it right because

00:52:29.000 the things that desantis did that worked were just really good sort of ceo decisions you know he did

00:52:37.080 extra good on protecting old people um he was right about how much the uh closing the businesses made a

00:52:45.720 difference so he was right on a bunch of stuff but he was right kind of like a manager uh he's sort of

00:52:54.040 in that gray area there i just don't know if he has that that x factor uh he seems he seems like the best

00:53:03.480 the best manager you've ever hired but i don't know if he can if he can define himself as as a little

00:53:11.080 higher level than that that would be the challenge but i have nothing negative to say about him could

00:53:15.720 he be a good president i'll bet he could you know bet he could in fact i would say that of at least a

00:53:21.800 dozen different people you could give me a dozen different names that i would say yeah that could be

00:53:26.680 a good president rand paul yeah yeah he could be a good president tom cotton yes he could be a good

00:53:34.360 president but would they win all right that's all i got for today and i'll talk to you
