00:00:00.000
hey everybody come on in come on in it's time for coffee with scott adams the best time of the day
00:00:08.520
once again it's going to be incredible well if you'd like it to be really even better than that
00:00:17.520
all you need is a cover mugger glass a tanker chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel
00:00:23.500
of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled
00:00:29.560
pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the
00:00:34.100
simultaneous sip and wow it's going to be good go
00:00:36.940
it was everything i hoped it would be i hope it was good for you too
00:00:45.860
well i may have told you that i was going to get my vaccination yesterday but i'm bad with calendars
00:00:54.080
it turns out it's today and i i'm scheduled for later this afternoon now i told you my strategy
00:01:01.120
would be that i wouldn't make a decision about getting it or not until the last minute that way
00:01:08.480
i'd have as much information as possible well because the simulation uh hates me uh the news
00:01:16.500
decided to serve up today the same day that i'm scheduled to get a vaccination today the news served
00:01:25.700
up all kinds of scary news about vaccinations followed by a number of people who helpfully
00:01:33.100
weighed in and sent me messages saying uh how how painful it was after the second shot and how it just
00:01:41.080
laid them out for a day i've never heard more bad news about a vaccination in 24 hours than the 24 hours
00:01:50.360
before i need to make a decision and i gotta tell you i'm on the bubble an hour before i'm supposed to
00:01:58.680
go you know because i need some drive time i'm gonna decide and i've got to say that as of this moment i
00:02:06.220
haven't it's you know it's scheduled and if later today i decide to do it i'll do it but i gotta say
00:02:16.460
today was the scariest of all the days and it happened to have had to happen today of all days is that a
00:02:24.300
coincidence i wonder remember i told you that when we heard that tiger woods the cause of his crash would
00:02:32.400
be revealed what did i tell you was really going to happen the cause of his crash would not be revealed
00:02:40.160
i knew there would be a report but i quite accurately deduced that it would be bullshit and it was so
00:02:50.400
here's the mystery we don't know according to the so-called black box from the car he had his uh
00:02:56.320
accelerator all the way down including when he left the road and all the way across i don't know a
00:03:05.480
field or a forest or whatever until he until his car was no longer functional now some people said
00:03:11.880
it's because he was speeding speeding doesn't make you stay at the gas after you've left the road for a
00:03:20.180
long time it wasn't speeding now some people say but scott he made that mistake people make of
00:03:30.320
thinking he was hitting the brake but he hit the gas instead may i remind you that this isn't you
00:03:38.300
this isn't me this is the most famously skilled and coordinated human that civilization has ever
00:03:51.440
produced if he doesn't know how to drive a car after all this time i'm gonna be really surprised
00:03:59.980
so i don't know what the cause of the crash is which is my point but i feel as though the odds
00:04:08.160
that tiger woods doesn't know how to drive well is the lowest of the possibilities of all the
00:04:16.060
possibilities feels like the smallest one hey tiger woods he's not coordinated and and under pressure
00:04:24.980
he'll do the wrong thing is there anybody in the history of the planet who has performed under
00:04:31.880
pressure more than he has i mean that the official speculations are ridiculous so we don't know the
00:04:38.680
reason but i would say one thing that seems obvious is that unless it was some kind of mechanical
00:04:44.900
malfunction that's not obvious uh that he was unconscious you know anybody who thinks it was a
00:04:54.040
suicide attempt that's dumb it wouldn't be the way you would do it uh anybody who said he fell asleep
00:05:00.160
i don't know that that would explain keeping your foot on the pedal the whole time would it seems like
00:05:06.880
the first thing you do is take your foot off of everything when you woke up it's like so i don't
00:05:12.120
think he was asleep uh but he might have passed out or been unconscious for some reason
00:05:17.160
um i would like to give some advice to the instagram scammers if you use instagram especially if you're
00:05:25.620
male you probably get many messages every day from fake accounts there's some you know female picture
00:05:32.640
and they're following you or commenting or they want to dm you or something and i would say maybe a
00:05:40.280
third probably a third of my followers are obviously not real on instagram they're just men who have
00:05:48.640
taken a photo of a woman and they're pretending to be this woman but i have some advice to the
00:05:54.420
scammers if you're trying to dm me with a message request with your little scam
00:06:02.040
it's better if you don't use for your fake picture a picture of my wife because that keyed me off
00:06:11.440
immediately i looked at and said huh there's a picture of my wife i'll bet that's not a real
00:06:18.440
account so that's my advice don't send me a picture of my wife when you're trying to scam me
00:06:25.200
because i'm going to be onto that right away right away uh christina gets uh her her photo gets used in
00:06:33.000
just countless scams we get email all the time from somebody who said damn it you know why did you
00:06:40.640
why did you take my money for three years and say you were going to marry me it wasn't her um but
00:06:47.960
there's a lot of that going on all right uh rasmussen is reporting in their recent polling
00:06:55.480
that uh biden is getting poor marks for the economy and immigration so for his handling of economic
00:07:02.320
issues 46 percent rated him poor now it's important to know what the other options were
00:07:09.360
could have been fair good or excellent now poor is a pretty big statement for somebody who's only
00:07:20.400
been around two months but uh 46 percent think he's doing a poor job and i would think that more
00:07:30.180
more people would have said fair and good you know give him a little honeymoon period but that's pretty
00:07:35.040
bad at the same time uh he gets 50 percent poor uh handling of immigration which also seems high to me
00:07:44.700
for a for a democrat but here's the funny part wouldn't you say those would be two pretty big issues
00:07:52.500
the economy and immigration so he's doing poorly on those things and yet he's very popular
00:07:57.880
why is he so popular if he's doing you know poorly according to something close to half of the
00:08:05.480
country on such critical issues and i have i have a hypothesis and my hypothesis goes like this
00:08:15.420
i have to admit i feel better under president biden now let me explain that let me explain that
00:08:25.560
before you flip out when i say i feel better i mean i don't have any stress i feel as though there are
00:08:33.800
still big problems in the world but i don't feel any stress you know what what biden promised us
00:08:41.940
was to be boring i mean that was actually what a main part of his of his sales pitch was that he
00:08:48.500
would be boring and traditional and he wouldn't cause controversies i'm gonna say he pulled that off
00:08:55.700
does anybody disagree if we're being objective you know don't take sides for a moment just be
00:09:03.260
perfectly objective he promised us he would be boring and that it would be a good result
00:09:08.740
he's pulling it off he is very boring and i feel better now i still would prefer a president trump
00:09:19.120
for getting stuff done i think he'd be better against china i think he's better on immigration
00:09:24.440
better on the economy better on the middle east you know i could go on uh not well he doesn't do
00:09:30.580
great on health care i don't think trump nailed that and you know i have my problems about the
00:09:35.660
capital insurrection blah blah blah so you can have your pluses and your minuses i would still
00:09:40.660
prefer trump for getting stuff done but it's it's still nonetheless true that biden delivered on this
00:09:48.040
promise of being boring and uh my stocks are up right my my net worth is higher under biden than it was
00:09:58.480
under trump it's just a fact i can't i you know i'm not going to lie about a fact my net worth is the
00:10:06.300
highest it's ever been the highest it's ever been under biden now the rules say that he gets some credit for
00:10:14.440
that right even if he didn't do anything that the person in charge gets some credit it just works that
00:10:20.540
way all right we'll uh criticize him later to make you feel better here's something i learned today on
00:10:27.300
twitter that was fascinating now i know you want to make more of this like to fit it into the political
00:10:34.040
argument about transgenders and sports and stuff like that but let's leave that alone for a moment
00:10:39.280
right let's just take the politics out just for a moment so just some information remove the politics
00:10:47.880
from your mind for a moment did you know that in eight different cultures meaning eight different
00:10:54.720
countries in this case that male and female gender binaries aren't uh aren't really the only options
00:11:03.400
apparently in eight different cultures people who are born one gender but choose to live as either an
00:11:10.800
ambiguous gender almost like a third third uh gender or something or just you know live outright
00:11:19.060
the way they want to live you know identifying as one but looking like another and it turns out that
00:11:25.380
there are eight different cultures in which they're not only uh completely accepted but in some cases
00:11:32.940
respected and actually revered or honored or whatever is the right word now i'm not i'm not going to tell
00:11:40.240
you that's good or bad i feel like it's good because i'm you know but i don't i don't mean to
00:11:46.860
influence your opinion on this topic you know everybody just make up their own mind that this is one of
00:11:51.820
those if you're not talking about what the law should be just make up your own mind how you feel about
00:11:57.400
any of this but my in my opinion is positive it's positive that people get to live their their choice of
00:12:06.500
life you know every time i see somebody living their personal choice without being bothered by
00:12:12.220
society or government i'm happy about it i'm happy about it so i hope you could be too did you see the
00:12:20.540
video of aoc trying to explain the israel and palestinian situation it's totally worth looking for it i think it's in
00:12:29.920
my twitter feed from yesterday so if you scroll down you'd see it or just google aoc tries to explain
00:12:37.280
israel and and or the middle east or something it'll pop right up it is funny because apparently
00:12:45.660
she had nothing to say in terms of any kind of a point that would be worth saying in public
00:12:51.580
but it didn't stop her from talking for a long time so the minutes of talking pass with just babble
00:13:00.420
and you have to watch it to see how much of a a train wreck it is now of course uh i've angered many
00:13:07.540
of you by telling you for several years now that aoc is one of the most gifted uh persuasive politicians
00:13:14.400
i've seen i'm starting to change my mind just based on this um if she can't do better than that
00:13:23.840
talking about a complicated topic i think there might be a cap on her potential and i'm definitely
00:13:30.180
rethinking things i've said about her probably being president in the future when i saw that answer i
00:13:36.560
thought to myself wow you are not ready for presidency that's for sure but maybe someday she has
00:13:44.300
lots of native talent it just didn't come out in that um there's a study that says that uh one in
00:13:50.680
three covet 19 survivors in a study of more than 230 000 people so it's a big study uh mostly americans
00:13:59.760
were diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months of having covet suggesting the
00:14:08.080
pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems now and then for the
00:14:14.280
they drilled down a little bit and the main things that people were complaining about
00:14:17.660
were anxiety 17 percent of them had that and mood disorders at 14 percent now apparently the number
00:14:25.280
of people in this group was far greater than the number of people in the uh in the general population
00:14:32.940
so therefore they think there's something going on here now there's no known connection uh in terms of
00:14:39.740
the physics of it or the chemistry nobody knows how having covet would necessarily change your brain
00:14:46.640
you know afterwards but you have to worry right you got to worry here's my question one in three
00:14:56.320
um were diagnosed within six months of having psychiatric problems but not you know nothing like uh
00:15:05.740
schizophrenia or something like that more like anxiety and mood disorders how far is that from the
00:15:13.220
baseline that's my question is is one third of people having uh let's say mental psychological problems
00:15:23.560
during the pandemic when they just had to social isolate and their life was turned upside down by having
00:15:30.800
covid they just went through in some cases a near-death experience
00:15:36.040
it feels to me that i don't trust this as really telling us anything i mean it's certainly a red flag so we
00:15:46.700
should look into it further but on initial reports um
00:15:52.180
sethro is saying don't take the vaccination today because you lost too many things and don't want to lose
00:16:03.680
me well i think you paid too much for that point but i do appreciate it very much and uh
00:16:10.680
um i haven't decided but it's unlikely i'll die from it i mean i don't think that that's pretty
00:16:17.920
pretty remote so we'll see anyway i don't know if these mental disorders are above the baseline i really
00:16:26.560
don't because i think people are flipping out just all day long because the just the whole situation
00:16:34.120
and if you had certainly gone through some scary scary ptsd situation where you actually had the
00:16:41.240
the virus and maybe it affected you quite a bit i could see why that would put you into a therapist's
00:16:47.800
office so i don't know that the it's the virus that's causing it it might be the situation that's
00:16:55.220
causing it so that would be my one curiosity about this
00:16:58.340
well as you know the biden administration has decided that they might want to fix some of those
00:17:06.900
gaps in the wall oh not build the wall building the wall would be evil instead they're gonna fill
00:17:14.240
the gaps totally different than building a wall which is one might explain as being a process of
00:17:21.920
filling gaps so it's not like a wall that fills gaps rather it's completely different
00:17:27.580
it's filling the gaps in the wall and i i think that explains it um but uh joel pollack writes in
00:17:37.320
breitbart today that brett stevens who's a never trumper columnist in the new york times uh he just
00:17:44.160
published a column in which he he calls upon joe biden to finish trump's wall along the southern u.s border
00:17:51.680
now of course brett is not a democrat but um still we're seeing a never trumper saying
00:17:58.880
you know maybe trump wasn't that bad so this has been my prediction that we're going to see more and
00:18:07.260
more of this that trump will be redeemed on a number of areas it just takes some time um i want to tell
00:18:14.000
you that i've had a number of press requests lately so members of the press uh several of them have
00:18:22.200
contacted me lately and said can we talk to you about something i've decided that i can't think of
00:18:30.800
any reason i would ever talk to the press again unless i was promoting a book right and we're talking
00:18:36.560
about the book or or something about me but can you think of any good reason that i should ever talk to
00:18:43.660
the press about a political topic because what would happen do you think there's any chance
00:18:52.460
that a political reporter would uh report what i said in proper context i don't think there's any
00:19:00.220
chance why would you put yourself in that position because there's nothing i i could gain from it i mean
00:19:07.320
i could tweet my opinions all day long and and get them out there i know enough people watch my
00:19:12.300
my tweets i'm not at any shortage for audience and so i thought it just doesn't make sense anymore
00:19:20.680
because the press has become so illegitimate that regardless of what you say about any one reporter
00:19:27.620
being you know honest and and capable you just can't take that chance anymore it makes no sense
00:19:34.860
to let a reporter quote you because you know it's going to be misquote and then there's nothing you can
00:19:47.500
we're getting to the good stuff now you ready for the good stuff this is why you come
00:19:55.100
all right we're going to ease into it all right you ready so begins your journey behind the curtain
00:20:03.940
so uh china is hosting allegedly the winter olympics for 2022 and apparently china has warned
00:20:12.400
washington not to boycott the winter olympics because you know i guess they're worried that that
00:20:17.700
might be one option uh to which i say i don't think boycotting is exactly the right play but i'll tell
00:20:26.580
you what is now i don't think this will necessarily be done but here's another example where if trump
00:20:35.000
were president this would be done so what i say next just understand that because you know you the
00:20:44.480
public elected biden this play is unavailable to you but trump would have done it i mean i i feel
00:20:51.560
confident he would have done this and here's the idea tell china we won't boycott the olympics
00:20:58.420
uh unless they don't end their fentanyl death um attack on the united states you just make you just
00:21:07.120
make it simple there's one thing we want stop sending fentanyl to the united states like you promised
00:21:14.220
but never happened we gave you the names of the fentanyl dealers just go round them up and then we
00:21:22.060
would be happy to attend your olympics it would feel like hey you did something for us step in the
00:21:27.360
right direction we'll do something for you i mean it's for us too it's the olympics but at least it would
00:21:32.780
be polite and we'll and maybe we'll get some uh movement forward in into a better relationship
00:21:39.360
do you see how well that would work china would not be able to even address the question
00:21:49.320
without admitting that they're attacking the united states with fentanyl they don't want this topic
00:21:56.280
to be in the news so what you do is you tie it to their freaking olympics see where i'm going with
00:22:02.580
this once you tie those stories together their olympics are fucking dead just like the people
00:22:10.400
they killed with their fentanyl now i'm not saying we should boycott the olympics you know there are
00:22:18.700
lots of considerations here but i sure wouldn't go if they're still sending us fentanyl and let me go
00:22:27.840
further i know there are athletes who've trained all their lives and and certainly their careers and
00:22:33.260
livelihoods and everything else depend on doing well in these olympics but i feel as if attending
00:22:40.700
the olympics would be no different than attending uh nazi germany olympics given the situation i feel it
00:22:47.440
would be no different than attending the olympics in you know iran while they're you know nuking the
00:22:54.860
united states they're not yet but you know what i mean so if you're an athlete you're in a tough
00:23:00.160
situation but uh i can't say i would respect anybody who attended the olympics there i i couldn't respect
00:23:06.860
that i understand it i understand it i mean i'm not gonna boycott any athlete who goes because if you
00:23:14.400
work your whole life for an olympics it's kind of unfair to ask you not to go but i gotta tell you i
00:23:21.560
wouldn't respect you i wouldn't have any respect for anybody who attended the chinese olympics
00:23:26.260
the olympics in china um so a chinese agent on twitter i'll just call him that because twitter labeled
00:23:35.300
his tweets china state affiliated media now um i love the fact yeah somebody's saying in the comments that
00:23:44.900
i don't believe biden's even mentioned i don't believe he's mentioned fentanyl has he hasn't even
00:23:52.200
mentioned it yeah um so this fellow on on twitter who's obviously affiliated with chinese government and we
00:24:04.060
assume that he's working for them directly or indirectly and he replied to president biden's tweet in which
00:24:12.760
trains were mentioned and this chinese may be an agent but at least he's state affiliated
00:24:19.320
uh he tweets this he goes talking about trains president biden may want to send a team to china
00:24:26.200
to study how china built its magnificent high-speed rail system in a matter of 10 to 20 years there is
00:24:33.440
so much uh there is so much for win-win cooperation if u.s abandons its containment strategy
00:24:40.920
that will make both poorer now that does sound exactly like it came from the chinese government
00:24:46.940
doesn't it so after that um when he said how well china did building their high-speed rail system so
00:24:54.600
quickly i tweeted back just two words slave labor well i don't think he could let that sit so he
00:25:04.100
responded back to me he said uh you have never been to china question mark the slave labor only happened
00:25:11.520
when the u.s used chinese laborers to build the pacific railroads more than a hundred years ago
00:25:17.820
zing and enslaved many african americans zing he said i had an african american host family in detroit
00:25:27.620
who never forgets who never forgets this part of history well thank you for the incorrect history
00:25:34.080
lesson because i don't i saw some people in china questioning the the fact that the chinese laborers
00:25:41.040
were slaves but i do imagine that it wasn't far from it right not technically slaves but maybe not that
00:25:48.980
far from it in in practical terms so i responded to his uh his question uh have you ever visited china
00:25:57.560
and i said i'd love to visit your famous uyghur training facilities to see how china gets things
00:26:04.440
done can you also give me a tour of the fentanyl production facilities that killed george floyd and
00:26:10.980
my stepson i don't believe he's responded after i sent that because i feel that uh maybe he fucked with
00:26:20.600
the wrong person didn't quite realize it when he did it may have realized it after the second tweet
00:26:26.900
but let me tell you if you want to have a conversation with me in public
00:26:34.580
it's going to go this way every time it's never going to end well for china so please china send your
00:26:43.960
tweets my way i would like to engage with you on any level you'd like so that was 600 000 people who
00:26:53.980
just learned about china so good work there chinese agent you just uh you just made china a little less
00:27:01.480
popular speaking of chinese popularity a 2020 chicago uh survey so this is last year but it said that on a
00:27:12.160
measure from zero to one uh where they were measuring american views of china so zero would be a very
00:27:19.640
unfavorable view and 100 would be the best apparently we've hit an all-time low of 32
00:27:26.620
so since uh the last several years the american view of china has gone to its all-time low
00:27:37.640
do you remember what i told you i would do in 2018 i told you i'd make their popularity go to an all-time
00:27:47.000
low now i don't take credit for it we had this large orange person named trump who said a lot of things
00:27:55.360
about china as did gordon chang and kyle bass and you know tom cotton and lots of other people so a lot of
00:28:04.100
people have been pushing in the same direction and apparently apparently successfully apparently
00:28:10.520
successfully because china is now less popular than it has ever been you're welcome um
00:28:19.100
so cnn is reporting uh in an opinion piece that not many people want to be a republican at the moment
00:28:27.660
it says the party's brand is quite clearly damaged after four years of donald trump seeking to break
00:28:35.380
every political norm possible i think this was chris salissa's opinion piece now what do you think
00:28:42.680
of this statement the party's brand talking about republicans the party's brand is quite clearly damaged
00:28:49.260
after four years of donald trump seeking to break every political norm possible it feels as if when he
00:28:57.100
says after that he's implying causation do you think that the causation is right do you think that the
00:29:05.420
party's brand is damaged because of trump is that what damaged it do you think or i'm just going to put that
00:29:16.120
out there could it be the way they covered him because it would be pretty easy to imagine that they had
00:29:23.880
covered him differently that the brand would be fine so the thing that people don't quite realize and i know
00:29:32.520
you do because my audience is smarter than the norm but the public doesn't quite realize that the news
00:29:38.980
business let's take cnn as an example has this weird power that only your boss at work has
00:29:46.060
only your boss at work can cause a problem himself or herself or they self and blame it on you
00:29:57.420
because the boss has the ability to cause a problem and then assign blame for the problem to an underling
00:30:04.400
that's not a good situation especially if you're the underling but cnn has the same ability they can
00:30:12.080
cause a problem and then assign it to somebody that's what they just did they created the problem
00:30:18.280
of the the brand of republicans going down they did that they did all of that now of course trump gave
00:30:26.040
them some material to work with that's not irrelevant right but do you think if a the objective
00:30:33.920
coverage of the president would have resulted in a worse brand for for republicans i don't think so
00:30:43.280
i don't think so so there it is cnn is uh gaslighting the uh well i hate to use that term but they're
00:30:52.020
brainwashing the public into believing that they are the observer of the problem not the cause of it
00:30:59.120
when so clearly they're the cause of it and most of the public will buy this interpretation
00:31:08.660
all right uh i've been telling some people online much to their chagrin that whatever they believe
00:31:18.000
about the floyd situation and the uh shauvin shaven whatever it is trial i said uh that they were
00:31:25.660
brainwashed to believe what they believe and people said scott scott scott i saw the video
00:31:33.400
with my own eyes i saw it i looked right at it not only did i look at it and come up with my own
00:31:42.660
completely independent opinion based on the video but may i point out that there are other police
00:31:50.820
officials police officials and other experts who also saw the video and agree with me therefore scott
00:32:01.700
there's nothing else to say about this trial we all saw the video boom case case closed floyd was
00:32:08.620
murdered by shaven that's what they say what they don't realize is that those opinions didn't come
00:32:17.980
from them it feels like they did because everybody believes they make up make up their own mind
00:32:24.940
but anybody who trained in persuasion can see that those those are assigned opinions the media assigns
00:32:35.660
opinions it doesn't report the news it tells you what your opinion is and it assigns it how did they do
00:32:43.900
it in the george floyd case well they did it by the way they talked about the video if you prime somebody
00:32:51.160
to say what you're going to see is terrible uh you know it appears that this police officer is murdering
00:32:57.400
somebody and the crowd's trying to stop him and uh we don't think drugs are part of it right
00:33:04.560
once you've been primed that's all you see and people don't realize they've been primed they just think
00:33:13.000
that there was some coverage people talked about it then they watched it and then they believe
00:33:19.700
that their own little brain came up to an opinion nothing like that happened in anybody who's trained
00:33:27.520
in persuasion and psychology hypnosis they will all agree with me by the way there's nobody who would
00:33:33.160
disagree with this who has training in the field this would be completely agreeable so all these people
00:33:41.180
who think they have an opinion that they came up with nope and this is true of most of our stories
00:33:49.620
most of our stories are assigned opinions now people are going to say scott scott scott what about all
00:33:59.140
those crazy right-wing things that people believe what about that are you leaving out all the crazy
00:34:04.140
things they believe on the other side no clearly republicans some subset of them not all of them
00:34:13.180
believe crazy stuff that's that's obvious i wouldn't argue against that but the crazy stuff that
00:34:22.620
republicans believe it seems to fall into the category of conspiracy theory sort of stuff
00:34:28.160
it doesn't feel it doesn't have that same organized brainwashing you know flavor to it it just
00:34:37.120
somehow spontaneously you know came up now some have said that q was an intel operation which would
00:34:45.540
also mean that that opinions had been assigned somebody skillful was doing it and maybe but i tend to
00:34:52.440
think that the republicans some of them get drawn into conspiracy theories whereas the democrats are
00:34:59.460
literally brainwashed by their own side now there's some brainwashing on the right as well you know
00:35:06.480
people who follow you follow some of the you know more prominent opinion people probably are primed and
00:35:12.600
brainwashed just like the left but in different ways but i haven't seen anything from the right
00:35:18.900
that look malicious there is a difference right if you i'll just pick one example if you see
00:35:26.560
if you see hannity um trying to brainwash you i'll just use that term you know for to make my point
00:35:34.500
if you saw hannity trying to brainwash his followers into the idea that we should have better border
00:35:40.920
security is that manipulation or is that just a common sense opinion and if you happen to adopt it
00:35:51.300
you would sort of be following common sense too now i know people who disagree with the policy but
00:35:57.680
certainly there are plenty of people who would have exactly the same opinion as hannity without being
00:36:03.740
primed right so um i'm not sure that anything he's doing is necessarily priming anybody for anything
00:36:12.840
evil but it's happening right it's happening everywhere all the time um but the floyd situation
00:36:19.560
does appear to be um pure evil in terms of the brainwashing and i was watching a little bit of
00:36:28.160
don lemon last night oh my god that's hard to watch because he's in pure persuasion brainwashing
00:36:36.960
mode over the the floyd case because he like other people by now know that the case has fallen apart
00:36:43.160
and and he's intentionally priming his audience he's priming them to believe that if if uh chauvin is
00:36:53.020
acquitted of let's say the the most aggressive charges the murder charges that if he's acquitted
00:36:58.080
it will look like a miscarriage of justice that's what that's what don lemon is priming his audience
00:37:04.620
for he's priming them for a miscarriage of justice now when the result comes out what will the people
00:37:11.380
who are primed think they came up with out of their own opinion they will think they formed their own
00:37:19.880
independent opinion and that wow this is a travesty of justice if it if it goes that way right
00:37:26.320
and it won't be their opinion it will be a primed opinion now how powerful is this priming thing
00:37:35.000
you're wondering right well let me tell you the defense used it used it as part of the defense
00:37:42.500
so remember the disagreement about whether the uh whether floyd had uttered it was hard to hear
00:37:49.980
something like i i ain't doing no drugs is one version or i ate uh the drugs now it's very different
00:38:00.660
if he ingested them ate them versus he claimed he didn't have them now what nelson did the defense
00:38:08.160
is he used this priming concept i assume intentionally i don't know but based on the level of uh
00:38:17.840
so based on the level of persuasive excellence that he's bringing to the case it would be hard
00:38:24.760
for me to imagine he didn't do this intentionally but you don't know right and what he did was he
00:38:29.520
primed um somebody one of the witnesses by telling them what they were going to hear and then asking
00:38:36.340
if he heard it now you've done enough yes that's right you've done enough laurel and yanny haven't you
00:38:42.880
if you know laurel and yanny and there are several other audio hallucinations like that you know
00:38:49.980
that whatever nelson told them to hear given that it was ambiguous he made them hear it
00:38:57.640
and he actually got a witness to say he heard it right in court the next day i believe this is true
00:39:06.180
the next day the prosecution put the same person on showed him a little bit more context
00:39:11.580
reprimed him and then he heard the other thing so you saw a human being a perfectly rational
00:39:19.940
normal human nothing wrong with his brain you saw him primed twice to have an opinion that was
00:39:29.320
assigned to him you watched his opinion be assigned to him in real time in court in public he is and
00:39:41.800
you saw it and then you saw the prosecution reassign it and is stuck now how did the news report this
00:39:50.820
turnaround that the prosecution got the defense's witness to completely change his story
00:39:58.880
it was sort of reported like the prosecution was was doing a good job wouldn't you say and if you
00:40:07.000
heard that the prosecution was doing a good job what would you assume would be the outcome well
00:40:13.040
we'd need to know more of course but it would look like they're heading toward a prosecution
00:40:17.080
wouldn't it because the prosecution won this point
00:40:21.620
except what was it that the prosecution won see nelson the defense lawyer is doing such a good job
00:40:33.320
that is making me think that some things that could be accidents maybe were intentional like he's that
00:40:41.020
good that doesn't mean they're not just accidents but he's that good that you have to ask yourself the
00:40:46.900
question so here's the question did he goad the prosecution into reversing what was heard from
00:40:58.240
floyd such that he showed that floyd was lying to the police officers because if it were true
00:41:06.820
that floyd said which is what the prosecution wanted you to believe that floyd said i ain't got no drugs or
00:41:15.180
ain't ain't do no drugs or something like that the prosecution established that floyd was lying
00:41:23.480
about a critical health related issue during the arrest
00:41:29.700
that's exculpatory isn't it am i crazy if the entire situation is what did the police know
00:41:42.480
what they learned because remember shaven we know from from shaven's conversation with his superiors
00:41:50.420
we know that he suspected floyd was on drugs i would say he probably knew it wouldn't you probably
00:41:57.300
knew it but he didn't know what drugs floyd says no i'm not doing drugs what does the policeman
00:42:05.140
now know about the suspect he knows that the suspect will lie to him because he just did an obvious lie
00:42:14.080
i ain't got no drugs well if that's what shaven heard he knew that he had a lying suspect who had also
00:42:21.720
resisted arrest now if you have a a proven lying suspect i mean lying right now in the moment and that
00:42:31.320
suspect says i can't breathe which other testimony showed is fairly common you know the a suspect who's
00:42:39.500
under custody kind of commonly says i can't breathe the handcuffs hurt you know my arm is breaking that
00:42:46.260
sort of thing you put that all together and it feels like nelson may have tricked the prosecution
00:42:54.500
into making nelson's point that shaven was dealing with a liar and when the liar said i can't breathe
00:43:03.560
what was shaven supposed to think he was dealing with a known liar who had just lied to him on this
00:43:10.200
very topic now keep in mind after you've heard my explanation of what happened would you agree that
00:43:21.280
this is better for the defense than it is for the prosecution am i wrong about that am i missing
00:43:26.960
something because it looks like it to me and yet cnn and others are reporting it as if it was good for
00:43:35.080
the prosecution this is a massive brainwashing operation the the news presumably democrats as well
00:43:46.140
are quite obviously brainwashing the public to create and this is completely obviously riots
00:43:54.760
it's plain as day they're lying to their their own audience to brainwash them into thinking that
00:44:05.420
if there's some kind of an acquittal or anything close to it just say lesser charges maybe
00:44:10.680
there's going to be riots right in front of us now i would say that if you did not study persuasion
00:44:18.580
this wouldn't be obvious at all would it now a lot of you have followed me long enough that
00:44:24.980
probably was obvious to you because you know once you see it you can see it forever you know but if you
00:44:30.360
don't see it for the first time it's invisible forever you got to see it that first time to be able
00:44:35.880
to spot it so um i would like to give you the uh chauvin defense summary before it actually happens
00:44:48.660
all right so at some point chauvin's defense lawyer is going to have to give a summary to wrap up the
00:44:54.380
case but luckily uh thanks to a tweet by matt well walsh matt walsh who by the way i will add to my
00:45:03.000
must follow list you should follow matt walsh uh if only because his tweets are excellent
00:45:09.320
i don't agree with you like all of his opinions but his tweeting is just really excellent like he's
00:45:17.420
just one of the best tweeters out there and uh here's what he tweeted uh tweeted to somebody
00:45:26.540
so he was responding to ron swanson's mustache who was uh who said to matt you know replying to
00:45:35.000
one of his tweets he said why do you why don't you volunteer to have chauvin test the exact same move
00:45:41.400
on you as part of his defense and see how it goes so how about that matt walsh huh what are you gonna
00:45:48.740
say to that how about you you're so confident about your opinion about this floyd trial thing
00:45:54.600
why don't you why don't you why don't you volunteer have somebody put a neck you know
00:46:01.620
have the knee on your neck see how you do matt walsh ha ha ha ha zing zing well it didn't go the
00:46:10.600
way he hoped ron swanson's mustache because uh uh matt walsh replied in a tweet uh if i had someone
00:46:22.840
restrain me the way floyd was restrained and you ingested the same amount of fentanyl that he did
00:46:29.480
three times the lethal dose which of us do you think would make it out alive
00:46:34.640
slow clap i've not you you rarely see an argument won this decisively
00:46:47.320
i don't i don't think this guy came back he he may have closed his account and when i said that i i saw
00:46:55.260
this i said to myself that's the closing summary this is the closing summary ladies and gentlemen of
00:47:04.340
the jury we've seen a few different uh hypotheses of what killed um george floyd tragically and
00:47:14.000
there is some uncertainty whether it was the fentanyl what what uh role it played and what role did
00:47:21.160
the police actions play but i would like you to consider this if you had two choices for yourself
00:47:28.540
would you rather have nine minutes of uh an officer restraining you the same way that george floyd was
00:47:37.200
restrained or would you prefer to take three times the lethal dose of fentanyl now it won't necessarily
00:47:45.860
kill you because you might have built enough built up a tolerance and people are different sizes and
00:47:52.060
that counts too but which one would you choose it's over it's over every single juror would think
00:48:01.740
um i feel as if three times the lethal dose of fentanyl is the wrong play now it seems to be because i
00:48:12.020
think the prosecution has tried to muddy the water waters on how much fentanyl was in floyd does that
00:48:19.600
matter suppose the the uh the prosecution gets somebody to say we thought there was traces of it but it's
00:48:30.780
it's ambiguous that's enough it's reasonable doubt that's the end of the case because people looking
00:48:41.240
at this case i think they you sort of reflexively because the world is binary you you sort of
00:48:47.440
reflexively think well could you prove that the officer didn't kill him and the answer is you can
00:48:54.700
never prove that that's not provable but you could prove that there's an alternate hypothesis which is
00:49:03.740
at least as likely as the one you were looking at and then it's reasonable doubt and then it's over
00:49:09.000
although i would think that the question of whether shaven did everything right police wise might be
00:49:16.300
open and i don't know if that means manslaughter is still on the table but i don't think that first or
00:49:22.700
third or second degree murder or even a possibility at this point given given the type of evidence we've
00:49:30.460
seen so i've told you that there are many filters on the world so you we can all look at the world in
00:49:37.620
the same set of facts and we can apply different filters sometimes i call it two movies on one screen
00:49:43.100
other times i just say it's a filter but there's one that i live in all the time that most of you
00:49:52.680
don't i'm going to tell you about it just because i think it's interesting uh it's based on two movies
00:49:59.740
you've probably seen you've seen harry potter movies and you've seen maybe um some kate beckinsale
00:50:05.960
movies called underworld in which he's a vampire fighting against werewolves now both of these
00:50:12.860
movies have one thing in common they have this theme that the normal people in society don't know
00:50:19.260
there's this raging war happening so in the case of harry potter it's the you know the wizards and
00:50:25.340
stuff and in the case of underworld there's this massive battle between vampires and werewolves going on
00:50:33.780
all the time but you know the the humans don't know what's even happening there's something like
00:50:39.860
that happening right now meaning that almost everything that matters has turned into persuasion
00:50:47.740
plays because communication is so thorough now with social media the persuasion went from something
00:50:54.760
that maybe you could only do if you were a politician or you owned a newspaper and now it's something
00:51:01.400
that's just everywhere like persuasion is is the it's almost like the fabric of society at this
00:51:08.740
point and there are two kinds of people in the world there are people who have studied persuasion
00:51:15.400
and can see it and understand it and you know they can avoid it better because they can see it coming
00:51:21.220
etc and then there are people who don't and this creates a situation very much like harry potter
00:51:28.140
and the muggles and very much like underworld where there's this gigantic battle that's waging right
00:51:35.780
now that you don't see but some people do so i will just tell you this there is a war happening
00:51:45.320
already and it's it's it's pretty active the war is raging you just don't see it there are people
00:51:56.380
people and i'm one of them who are in it and we're fighting it pretty hard and we are coordinated
00:52:05.300
there is an army forming literally an army of persuaders who are just finding each other and
00:52:14.740
connecting as they connect their combined power will rise until it is rivaling and maybe it already
00:52:24.700
does governments themselves and we're fighting against the mainstream media which is a machine that
00:52:32.740
works with the democrats and they are a persuasion machine this floyd situation will highlight this
00:52:39.200
battle better than anything because the one side is trying to make a riot to happen or a series of
00:52:46.260
riots and the let's say the fledgling formed group of persuaders who are actually trained i'm talking
00:52:56.480
about people i'm not just talking about people who care i'm talking about trained persuaders like the
00:53:02.480
dangerous people the dangerous people are finding each other and they are the patriots they they just
00:53:11.120
want to avoid the trouble to thwart the other persuasion to stop a riot all right so you'll never see this
00:53:21.300
maybe you'll see some signs of it right but you're never going to see the real battle
00:53:31.520
if i had to guess i don't think we're going to win the floyd one if i had to guess i think the
00:53:39.020
riots are coming because i don't think we'll be strong enough collectively by then but we're going
00:53:46.460
to get close and i think that you should find some comfort from knowing that very capable people
00:53:52.240
are looking for the levers the levers are not always obvious but sometimes sometimes you can
00:54:01.260
find one and it won't take more than one persuader finding one lever and the other side will collapse
00:54:10.020
now that's not to say it's going to happen because finding that one level of persuasion that
00:54:15.980
makes the other side collapse is not easy but the right people are looking for it that's what you need
00:54:22.200
to know so um probable riots but there's a lot of effort that's being put together behind the curtain
00:54:30.320
to stop this particular brainwashing operation in fact i would say that most of what we consider the
00:54:37.000
news now would be better characterized as um psyops you know just literally brainwashing operations
00:54:44.960
and i don't mean that with any hyperbole there's no hyperbole here i mean literally brainwashing
00:54:51.220
operations and so here's one so i'm still waiting i tweeted days ago uh i'm still waiting for one
00:55:03.260
example of somebody who wants to vote but can't get an id just one just one example of somebody who wants
00:55:12.560
to vote can't get an id zero did you believe this was real that there was some body of people
00:55:21.700
substantial number of people who wanted to vote couldn't get an id because they're poor they
00:55:27.200
couldn't afford it couldn't figure it out whatever this is a brainwashing operation
00:55:33.740
this is a psyop none of this is real and it's one of the biggest stories in the country and it's not
00:55:44.340
real the george floyd thing assuming that we do get confirmation he had some fentanyl in him i think
00:55:51.620
we will the george floyd thing probably is it just a giant psyop and that's why it's you know it's
00:55:59.500
everything that we're talking about um now that doesn't mean there's like some one boss that's
00:56:06.460
ordering things it's a it's a collective situation where people know what to do and you know it's just
00:56:12.200
obvious how to help your team as it were but the number of things that are not really news and they're
00:56:19.880
not just fake news fake news would allow that it's just a mistake fake news would allow it's some
00:56:27.280
partisan who's just trying to sell you you know a story this is different this is a whole operation
00:56:35.240
this is a lot of moving parts this isn't just somebody who decided to lie because it sounded good
00:56:40.660
on tv um donald luskin twitter user tweeted this which caught my attention set the persuasion technique
00:56:51.860
aside talking about the id the voting id issue he says set the persuasion technique aside and ask why
00:57:00.540
dems want to reduce id requirements why do they want to do it since such requirements as you say are
00:57:09.280
not restricting voting meaning that there's really nobody who wants to vote doesn't have an id
00:57:13.980
then what other reason could there be what other reason could there be hmm says donald what could
00:57:23.720
you do in big democrat controlled urban centers if ids weren't required hmm so donald is suggesting
00:57:30.900
that uh they're trying to support their ability to cheat in future operations but and you know and i think
00:57:40.660
you can make that case it seems clear that both the republicans want to game the rules so they get
00:57:47.020
more votes the democrats want to game the rules so they get more votes has nothing to do with the
00:57:51.800
constitution or right to vote or poor people voting has nothing to do with any of that you all know that
00:57:57.920
right there's nothing happening except people trying to game the system to get more votes
00:58:03.700
that's nothing to do with what's right or wrong from either side now that said certainly there's
00:58:11.000
one set of actions which is more appropriate but that's not why we're doing it we're not doing it
00:58:18.240
because we like things to be right that would be great if we did but that's not why both sides are
00:58:23.880
just gaming the system trying to get more votes that's all it is if you think it's anything more
00:58:28.780
than that you bought into the brainwashing either from the left or the right but it's just brainwashing
00:58:36.020
if you think they're doing it because it's the right thing to do they're doing it to get more votes
00:58:40.900
that's it so here's my take on why they might be doing it or rather i would say an outcome of it
00:58:50.460
there is a predictable outcome isn't there of uh of requiring uh no ids if the democrats get their way
00:59:02.260
there will be a shift in power what will the shift be what shift in political power will there be
00:59:11.580
in a world in which ids are not required if you were to believe the narrative if you were to believe
00:59:21.140
the brainwashing which we're all experienced right right now the story would be well scott
00:59:27.860
we're we keep telling you all these uh low-income black people uh they're not getting to vote so
00:59:35.480
obviously duh if we remove this requirement we're shifting power to black voters
00:59:42.000
who's going to argue with that right i won't i i self-identify as black so i'm fine with that
00:59:51.480
and back when i self-identified as white i also thought that was a good idea more votes more good
00:59:58.900
if you're if you're a black voter or you're black citizen in this country and you can't vote
01:00:05.080
i want you to vote get in there and vote but i feel as if there's something else that would happen
01:00:12.960
here i feel as if the number of black voters might stay just about the same because there never were
01:00:20.380
any black voters who couldn't get an id it was always fake but what kind of voters generally speaking
01:00:29.940
might have some political benefit from not needing an id wouldn't it be recent immigrants
01:00:39.240
it feels like it's transferring power away from black americans toward recent immigrants
01:00:49.920
now i'm not going to say that's bad or good because these recent immigrants they live here too
01:00:56.180
right so if you ask me am i personally better off or do i care if a little power is transferred from
01:01:03.500
the black population to let's say the you know hispanic population in this country does that bother me
01:01:10.560
well i can't think of a way it does directly except that i like a you know a world that works and it's fair
01:01:17.740
but i think the black population of this country is being brainwashed into thinking this voter id thing
01:01:26.000
is about them i think it's not i think it's about taking power from them and everybody else and
01:01:34.520
transferring it to a group that really doesn't have ideas which would be recent immigrants right
01:01:40.380
so i'm just speculating so all i'm saying is that if you're looking at it objectively
01:01:46.980
and you don't believe that there's a large population of black uh wannabe voters who just
01:01:53.660
can't get id which i don't i don't believe there's any evidence of that at all black voting won't change
01:01:59.960
at all but recent immigrant voting might go up quite a bit is that it is that a coincidence i don't know
01:02:08.260
so the things that look like uh brainwashing ops right now is uh everything about the floyd trial
01:02:13.940
to create a riot the georgia you know situation being you know uh jim crow laws that that's obviously
01:02:22.140
a brainwashing operation there's a uh big story that just disappeared from the headlines and i can't
01:02:29.360
tell you what it is but that was a brainwashing operation in the sense that you know the news
01:02:34.460
disappeared a story uh if you want to look at stuff on the right q q anon was you know people
01:02:42.920
ended up being convinced but i don't know if that was a brainwashing operation could have been could
01:02:48.760
have been we don't know i think uh there are lots of elements of the uh matt gates story no matter what
01:02:54.840
he did all right so i don't know what he did or did not do so independent of what he did or did not do
01:03:01.020
the way it's being handled is a brainwashing operation right no nobody's trying to get to
01:03:06.640
the truth of what matt gates did or did not do nobody cares about that they uh they they do care
01:03:14.960
yeah oh yeah somebody gave me another example the big lie the big lie is a brainwashing operation
01:03:21.660
now what they would like you to believe because this is the brainwashing operation
01:03:25.800
is that the people who they say are lying about um election fraud that they're the ones trying to
01:03:33.540
brainwash you or they're the ones crazy but of course using that phrase the big lie is a brainwashing
01:03:41.380
operation that's not news or even close to news that's just brainwashing and and that phrase the big
01:03:47.000
lie is just a classic persuasion technique um and then there's a capital insurrection that i would call
01:03:54.660
a mass brainwashing thing as well probably on both sides right there were people who were brainwashed
01:04:00.780
to think that you know assaulting the capital would somehow work out and people brainwashed to think
01:04:06.300
that it was an insurrection when it was obviously just a protest protest that was violent i'm not
01:04:11.640
minimizing the violence but it wasn't an insurrection right they weren't going to hold territory
01:04:30.060
yes and the the fine people hoax was of course a brainwashing operation
01:04:39.040
i think we unwound that enough that at least biden doesn't mention it anymore
01:04:43.240
i'm pretty sure biden found out that wasn't real
01:04:47.460
and i think it happened during the during the election or soon after
01:04:54.900
that uh i think it was about the time that the republicans showed the entire video
01:05:05.440
if biden ever referred to the fine people hoax after
01:05:11.840
the republicans showed the whole video in public
01:05:18.720
he might have tried it out a few times but he doesn't use it now
01:05:33.340
somebody says man-made climate change is a massive brainwashing operation
01:06:01.220
there are some cases where the facts are easy to find
01:06:51.660
if they're involved in a massive brainwashing campaign
01:07:16.480
whose opinions you should imagine are ever true
01:07:19.820
i don't know if he's ever said anything that's true
01:07:22.280
but uh he's he's got some good conspiracy theories
