Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2226 Scott Adams： The Dog Not Barking Is Deafening Now. Everything Is Corrupt. Have Coffee

00:00:00.000 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:23.160 coffee with scott adams and i think it's uh fair to say you've never had a better time

00:00:27.440 and just wait to see how much better it gets it's gonna be crazy crazy if you'd like to take it up

00:00:36.260 a level that nobody's ever seen all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tank or gel sistine a

00:00:41.380 canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join

00:00:48.560 me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day thing makes everything better

00:00:52.240 it's called a simultaneous sip it happens now go

00:00:54.140 you know i shouldn't tell you this before i actually do it but yesterday i uh wrote a

00:01:08.680 gigantic hit song in my head i know i know i know what you're thinking a lot of people try to write

00:01:17.100 songs don't they but has anybody ever written a song using hypnosis uh i'll bet not and i realized

00:01:28.460 that i could do a song that would have the stickiest hook in the world and that i could build it around

00:01:36.440 a hypnotic induction so that while you were listening to the song you would feel a tingle

00:01:42.000 you would actually physically feel the song and so i thought if i write that song it's going to be

00:01:48.040 the biggest hit in the entire world so i'm going to work on that later and and let me confess i don't

00:01:55.580 have any songwriting talents but i can write lyrics that will be hypnotic so i'm going to do that

00:02:02.540 i'll add a drum beat to it you'll love it well i saw a story that uh jimmy felon is getting some

00:02:08.380 heat from his staff for being a hard place to work

00:02:12.620 here's what you need to know about this story about jimmy felon and his staff

00:02:21.040 it's about a public figure that's all you need to know once i tell you it's about a public figure

00:02:28.940 you can be absolutely sure it's fake now it doesn't mean that none of the it doesn't mean that

00:02:35.120 every allegation is fake but it's so out of context that it's useless right so when you see

00:02:43.620 something like that the staff says somebody did something do you think it was the happy staff

00:02:49.420 members who were saying that do you think it's every one of them every one of them having the

00:02:53.940 same experience do you think it's like every other workplace in the world where there are some

00:03:00.580 people who believe that he's insulting them when he's just sort of living i don't know no way to

00:03:07.500 know what's happening but i will tell you for sure you shouldn't believe anything about the story

00:03:11.280 you shouldn't believe his version and you definitely shouldn't believe his staff it's just something

00:03:16.940 that happened that you don't know about that should be the story hey something happened and there's

00:03:22.920 no way you'll ever know what it was that's it that's the whole story well i saw a clip of russell

00:03:30.560 brand going full-throated in his uh appreciation and endorsement of trump specifically over the

00:03:38.880 ukraine war not um not about other things but it's funny watching russell brand just say this directly

00:03:45.180 as you possibly can he's the only one who's talking about the war correctly i don't think that's

00:03:50.140 right i think you know vivek and some others are talking about it uh correctly but uh certainly

00:03:56.140 trump's the biggest you know the loudest voice and we'll see if that makes any of it it's just i think

00:04:06.260 it's uh it's interesting when you see somebody come that far come all the way from you know being

00:04:14.400 left-leaning to you know being fully full-throated support of trump on the biggest issue which is the war

00:04:22.540 uh bobo dodo wants to make sure that i'm bad at um at pattern recognition so let me help you with your

00:04:37.660 pattern recognition um let's see all lawyers went to college almost almost every lawyer went to college 0.99

00:04:47.700 all right so everything else you said is dumb as fuck because some people like school and then they 0.99

00:04:57.360 do well because they go to school so when people do well because they go to school that's not a massive 0.99

00:05:04.360 jewish plot have you heard about the massive vietnamese american plot where they go to school 0.58

00:05:13.460 and get good grades probably because they want vietnam to run the world is that what you think

00:05:19.440 all right well uh i'm just going to make these people go away because i want you to realize how 1.00

00:05:29.820 stupid you are before you go away it your your entire worldview is based on being bad at pattern 1.00

00:05:36.560 recognition the pattern recognition is not that some successful people are jewish that's the wrong 1.00

00:05:43.800 pattern it's the people who valued education are successful how are you missing that like how is that not

00:05:52.300 really really obvious to you like how how anti-semitic do you have to be before you think the pattern is

00:05:58.220 that they're jewish anyway all right uh so i guess the governor of new mexico is suspending the second

00:06:10.780 amendment what i think this is actually happening the governor of new mexico is going to have a 30-day

00:06:18.980 ban on open and concealed uh carrying of guns um which a lot of people say is a violation of the

00:06:27.540 second amendment i'm sure she would say blah blah blah it's not but uh i think this is going to cause a

00:06:36.240 little uh consternation i wouldn't trust a 30-day ban on anything would you who would trust a 30-day ban

00:06:44.040 on guns no no there will be no 30-day bans on guns if the public has anything to say about it

00:06:54.160 yeah we'll see where that goes uh this is almost almost beyond belief and elon musk is weighed into this

00:07:04.120 but the california assembly they voted in favor of this new bill that would uh essentially

00:07:12.300 say that the parents have to affirm the gender of the child so if the child says they're a different

00:07:19.680 gender than the parent the parent has to agree and if they don't they'll lose custody they could lose 0.62

00:07:25.580 custody so if there's a divorce the one who affirms that the child knows what their gender is

00:07:32.920 is the one who gets to keep the kid

00:07:35.000 that is demonic yeah you know i've been resisting the people who say that it's actually evil but what

00:07:47.360 is this what the hell is this how in the world is this political it's not political and it's not

00:07:54.340 even medical it's not rational medical political it's not even wrong it's just evil

00:08:01.440 uh so you know musk is uh fighting fighting against that i think he said he would move the

00:08:11.580 company his company is out of california he's got you know there's one near me so there's a big

00:08:17.720 tesla facility sort of bicycle distance in that direction so there's a lot of facilities here

00:08:23.440 um so he's making some threats he's also elon musk is also um taking legal action against california

00:08:32.500 because california wants a law that mandates the social media platforms disclose their content

00:08:40.020 removal policies especially about hate speech and the way elon musk is interpreting this

00:08:46.580 is that things which would be allowed under free speech would possibly not be allowed in california

00:08:54.160 so so california wants to you know violate the constitution according to that view and new

00:09:03.600 mexico wants to violate the constitution according to guns and if you notice it's always democrats

00:09:10.280 violating the constitution it feels like and when the republicans do it it's fake we'll talk about

00:09:17.580 that later when republicans are accused of doing it it's not even real but it looks like it's happening

00:09:24.280 on both sides if you didn't know any better all right here's my segment i call fake news on fake science

00:09:33.320 and you don't even have to read the science i'm going to tell you the headline of this study and you tell

00:09:40.420 me if you would believe anything it says just the headline kids do better in school when they can see

00:09:47.200 trees kids do better in school when they can see trees therefore adding trees to any environment

00:09:55.980 would get you a better result do you think that anything else might be correlated with the trees

00:10:05.720 is there anything else hmm is there any other variable that would be highly correlated with trees

00:10:13.740 probably probably everything yeah probably everything is correlated with whether you have trees

00:10:21.240 trees like your income you know the demographics the you know the you know basically everything

00:10:28.320 you know health in general so i wouldn't even bother reading that report

00:10:33.280 um here's another one why scientists cannot be uh cannot be trusted with uh numbers scientists are good

00:10:42.360 until they try to do math with money so there's a new study that says that nuclear power is way too

00:10:50.700 expensive now how far did i have to dig into it to find out what they did wrong oh not very far

00:11:00.320 like it was like i don't know first sentence or something but basically they take the approach

00:11:06.240 that the way nuclear has always been built in the past which is primarily through the extreme

00:11:13.680 reluctance of the government and environmental groups that if that same situation persisted

00:11:20.580 where people such as the people probably writing this report when if you have immense uh irrational

00:11:28.200 uh opposition to it it's not economical

00:11:31.800 guess what you know what else would fall into that category absolutely everything you could pick any

00:11:41.360 any industry randomly and say all right let's take this industry with that was doing fine

00:11:46.120 but we're going to put extreme extreme uh political public pressure on it to not do anything and not

00:11:54.080 produce a product and we'll put everything on it we'll make we'll make them take 20 years to produce

00:11:59.540 one unit of whatever their product is how would that industry look economically it would look pretty bad

00:12:05.700 it would look pretty bad how about an industry where somebody decided they were going to make a consumer

00:12:11.260 product but everyone would be different so they could never get any economies of scale

00:12:18.220 that wouldn't look like a good idea would it but suppose you looked at any industry that had

00:12:26.140 low barriers because the government was being helpful instead of you know being bad and that the public

00:12:33.220 wasn't pushing on them and that you can make everyone the same in that case good economics

00:12:39.400 so when people study the economics and i think rfk jr has this problem as well when you study the

00:12:46.700 economics of nuclear if you're studying how it was done in the past you're not really studying the

00:12:54.080 economics of nuclear you get that right because we wouldn't do it that way and if we tried to do it

00:13:01.520 that way that would in fact be a mistake you know it probably would be a mistake to try to build a new

00:13:06.680 nuclear plant with the current set of constraints so change the constraints because the constraints

00:13:14.740 of the problem not not the economics of the business if we had a government which could

00:13:21.040 remove the constraints or maybe have you know one way to do it would be have a federal set of

00:13:27.980 requirements and then approve let's say a modular set of components so that anybody who does these

00:13:35.460 same modular pieces you know the important parts will get pretty much automatic approval because it's

00:13:42.280 sort of pre-approved now do you think that they studied a world in which the government had pre-approved

00:13:48.680 some some some designs so that everybody could just use them of course not of course they didn't

00:13:56.680 so anytime you see a a political political item where somebody studied the math and said oh this won't

00:14:06.620 pencil out they're never doing it right the a a public news item about the economics of something

00:14:15.880 probably never true probably never because they're all motivated you know all these reports are

00:14:22.080 motivated

00:14:22.500 why are you promoting conspiracy theories in all caps why are you drinking for lunch i would ask you in

00:14:32.600 return

00:14:32.940 here's a fog of war update how often do i tell you that if the topic is war the first report is false

00:14:43.640 so this is about uh um starlink and elon musk whether or not he turned off skylink when the

00:14:54.180 ukrainians were planning an attack now apparently this was not recent this was a year ago or whatever

00:14:59.980 it was and the ukrainians were going to send their drone fleet to sink the entire russian or a lot of it

00:15:07.900 in port and they they here's the part that we didn't know the ukrainians thought they had coverage

00:15:16.360 so if you take that part out the story is different and that's the part we just learned

00:15:21.020 so they thought they had coverage so they started to mount an attack which they were really excited

00:15:26.980 about only to realize they didn't and then they asked they asked elon to turn on that portion

00:15:33.760 and he said um i'm not going to be part of a major attack on russia

00:15:38.180 which i believe was the right call that they basically asked him to be a combatant essentially

00:15:47.060 uh part of the attack and i i think he wisely said well maybe i could be part of the defense

00:15:55.600 but i'm not going to be part of an attack on you know what looks like russia proper to russia

00:16:00.660 so so he's in trouble for that he's in trouble for everything else and um could do you think it

00:16:11.600 would be fair to say at this point that the democrats are trying to put elon musk in jail

00:16:16.280 that's what it looks like i feel like they're trying to put him in jail like actually in jail

00:16:22.460 and they don't and it looks like they don't care what what they use to do it

00:16:26.960 that's what it looks like so uh i think in these cases you can say that that it's exactly what it looks

00:16:36.500 like so whenever there is a lack of transparency just assume it's exactly what it looks like and that's

00:16:44.040 exactly what it looks like it looks like republicans should be hunted in a variety of ways 0.99

00:16:48.640 and this is more of that he's the big whale he's the moby dick so to speak um 1.00

00:16:56.700 all right so there's a report that uh prosecutor fanny willis uh is corrupt so 1.00

00:17:09.860 so so so some of the cases you know the january 6 cases have to do with these so-called fake electors

00:17:19.380 now if somebody was going to pretend they were the legitimate electors that would look pretty bad

00:17:27.200 wouldn't it now turns out that's not the case but it would look really bad if somebody was going to

00:17:34.500 pretend they were the legitimate electors and then say oh we really won and we're the legitimate ones

00:17:40.540 and then just take over the country that that way so it turns out that fanny had in her possession 0.99

00:17:47.180 documents that show that the people who were doing the so-called fake elector thing

00:17:53.280 knew that they were not real electors and and their intentions clearly stated were that they were not going

00:18:01.960 to be fake electors they were going to be sort of uh like backup in case just to hold the right

00:18:08.660 in other words it was a placeholder in case needed they were they were not meant to be replacements they

00:18:16.680 were alternates an alternate is somebody if things go the way you want them to they could be your

00:18:22.960 alternate they were not a replacement for a replacement for would look like an insurrection

00:18:28.720 alternates while you sort out what's real looks like just being prepared for all outcomes

00:18:34.940 it turns out that fanny had documents that showed that the so-called fake electors were always meant

00:18:42.040 to be alternates and they said in direct words they were not trying to be the replacements directly

00:18:47.540 so they're being charged with the thing that the documents clearly show they were not trying to do

00:18:55.320 they were trying to do something legal and not that thing they're being charged with and so she

00:19:01.460 she apparently didn't talk about it or suppressed it so that you wouldn't know that it's obvious

00:19:08.220 they're innocent it's obvious they're innocent like super super obvious they're innocent and decided

00:19:14.360 just not to tell you now at what point do you have a prosecutor arrested shouldn't she be arrested for 1.00

00:19:22.560 that if it's known that she knew that this was uh would have freed them immediately and she suppressed

00:19:30.540 it shouldn't she be in jail already she should be in jail right am i talking like a partisan or is

00:19:39.240 that just common sense so i guess i guess i'll put the fog of war standard on this one as well

00:19:45.700 it could be that she has a reason for what she did i haven't heard her reason yet but based on the

00:19:54.960 based on what we've seen so far it would look like she's just a criminal

00:19:59.240 that's what it looks like it looks like she's just a criminal 1.00

00:20:03.740 um but we don't know we'll see

00:20:07.420 you know i tweeted this uh yesterday but i liked it so much i'm going to read it

00:20:12.900 that when republicans are wrong about anything that's the whole story oh they're wrong you know

00:20:22.200 when it happens nobody nobody's right all the time right but when republicans are wrong they're just

00:20:26.600 sort of wrong there's nothing else to say but when democrats are wrong most of the time it's because

00:20:34.940 their own team ran a sophisticated op to brainwash them but here's the thing i've never met a democrat

00:20:43.400 who's aware of that have you i've never met a democrat who is aware that their own team runs

00:20:51.340 serial hoaxes on them you know they don't work as well on the republicans because republicans know

00:20:58.140 what's happening but the democrats seem to be completely unaware that their team is running

00:21:04.000 ops on them that's not happening on the republican side is it or or am i so deeply into my own bubble

00:21:13.380 that i can't see it's happening on both sides but to me it looks like it only happens on one side

00:21:18.960 and the reason would be that only one side controls enough of the media that you can come up with an op

00:21:26.320 that the media will support right if the if the republicans tried to come up with that kind of

00:21:33.160 an op it would live in just the democrat world and and even some of them would reject it right

00:21:40.220 so there'd be no media to support it yeah so and but think about the fact that you've never met a

00:21:48.520 democrat who's aware that their own team runs ops on them all the time it's non-stop

00:21:55.620 just think about that the the the amazing success of these this this brainwashing is that they don't

00:22:04.020 know what's happening at all it's really it's impressive in its own way speaking of uh brainwashing

00:22:13.660 i like to give you examples of what i call tells for cognitive dissonance meaning that there are some

00:22:20.820 people some things that people do automatically when you catch them in cognitive dissonance

00:22:25.160 one is the so tell where you say sky is blue and let's say they always believed it wasn't and they

00:22:33.700 don't want to be embarrassed by finding out it really is they'll say so you're saying everything in the

00:22:39.940 world is blue and you go what what everything that everything that came after that word so

00:22:48.100 was ridiculous so you're saying that nobody else can have free speech no no i we're not even talking

00:22:57.360 about that so you're trying to change the subject no no i'm not saying you know so you can't talk to 0.96

00:23:04.340 anybody who does the so as soon as you hear the word so you can stop the conversation that which is

00:23:11.860 what i do i go well there's the so tell so we're done here all right another one is word salad

00:23:18.660 right word salad oh before i get to that one another one is uh what i call the well

00:23:25.100 the repeating well you you've seen it when you debunk any of the hoaxes it's like this is true

00:23:33.140 well here's some evidence showing it's not true well okay maybe that's not true but this is true

00:23:37.940 well here's some evidence showing that's not true okay maybe those things aren't true but here's some

00:23:43.400 evidence showing a third thing's true here's some evidence showing it's not what do they do then

00:23:48.300 start at the top as if you'd never discussed it always so that so if they go down the well

00:23:57.260 and you've debunked it all and then they just start at the top like you hadn't conversed

00:24:01.540 that's that's cognitive dissonance but my favorite is the word salad word salad it's a sentence that

00:24:10.440 might make sense in a grammar sense but if you looked at it in in context you'd say

00:24:17.380 uh what so let me give you one so as you know uh everybody who's observing except sam harris knows

00:24:27.760 that he's experiencing some kind of mental uh phenomenon it looks like cognitive dissonance

00:24:35.140 to anybody who's studied it but here's what he said that to me it looks like word salad

00:24:41.380 so he's talking about uh january 6 and trump and how dangerous trump is right so here's a sentence

00:24:50.020 he actually spoke to russell brand quote that was such a dangerous desecration of our political landscape

00:24:56.860 that i should think it should make it impossible to support trump so you saw about january 6 that was

00:25:04.820 such a dangerous desecration of our political landscape that i think it should make it impossible

00:25:10.860 to support trump just look at that sentence do i do even say need to say more things that have real

00:25:20.520 problems you can stay in a sentence that everybody understands and agrees with uh increasing the

00:25:27.760 amount of money that we print will uh will increase inflation was that word salad no no the war in ukraine

00:25:37.200 risks um escalating to a nuclear war was that word salad you all understood that right because that's a real

00:25:48.300 opinion right um children should not be making gender choices because their brains are not developed did

00:25:58.000 everybody understand that i think you did right you could disagree but you understood the point

00:26:04.080 or how about somebody says i disagree with abortion because in my opinion it's a living thing and life is

00:26:12.020 precious is anybody confused no you're not confused about that at all not at all right were the

00:26:20.800 elections uh rigged or not rigged some say rigged they give their reasons some say not rigged they give

00:26:28.960 the reasons is anybody confused no no you could everything that's a real opinion about a real thing

00:26:36.900 can be expressed in very simple words if you end up with a dangerous desecration of our political

00:26:45.560 landscape that means you're you're completely in a theoretical word-based world in which you're trying to make

00:26:53.740 words fit together to match your preconceived opinion yeah this is classic word salad um and everybody except sam harris

00:27:04.480 would be aware of that and if he heard me describe it which he probably won't because i don't think he pays

00:27:09.840 attention to social media but if he heard me describe it would say my god no i have real reasons let me tell you

00:27:17.740 the good reasons too so it's always the thing with cognitive dissonance is that the person who's

00:27:24.100 experiencing it is the only one who can't have any vision on whether it's happening by definition

00:27:30.400 they're the ones who don't know so that's my opinion on that

00:27:35.740 so here's a uh tweet that i made yesterday right pretty pretty early after i got off uh uh live stream

00:27:51.700 um and i'm gonna give it's sort of a three-parter and i said this i said it's mind-boggling that half

00:28:00.440 the country believes trespassing in one building is how you conquer a superpower

00:28:05.420 because the news said so and then i said it's almost as incredible as the fact that no one has

00:28:14.180 interviewed any of the international people who allegedly wanted that ukrainian prosecutor fired

00:28:19.560 as much as joe biden did have you heard me say that before biden keeps saying but but these

00:28:27.080 international entities they wanted him fired and i kept saying so why don't we talk to him

00:28:32.840 why does nobody talk to him well there's that dog why is he not barking the most important fact

00:28:42.080 the most important fact in the world is whether that claim is true it's the most important fact in

00:28:49.880 the world right now because that's the fact that keeps a president in office that's a fact that would

00:28:56.160 determine whether his competitor could win whoever that is that's a fact that describes everything we

00:29:03.200 know about the situation it's a fact that would unlock the rosetta stone of corruption so you could

00:29:09.620 actually understand what happened you know without the news spin it may be a fact that's determining that

00:29:16.740 we're in a war which is destroying our economies it might create a nuclear war it's by far the most

00:29:23.960 question is it true that other you know serious people wanted him fired so after i said that and i

00:29:33.920 noted it's the same thing about the fine people hoax nobody nobody went to talk to the fine people to

00:29:39.400 find out if trump was right that there were some non-racists there who just wanted the statues

00:29:45.280 now turns out i did i actually asked on twitter are there any fine people who disavow racists who attended the event

00:29:54.740 some of them contacted me and so i talked to them and i'm convinced they're real people who in one case were

00:30:02.420 locals and they just heard something was going on about the statues and they wandered down and they were in favor of

00:30:08.340 keeping them and they said nazis we hate nazis but we like statues so did you notice that no one else in

00:30:16.400 the entire media landscape went went and said hey were there any fine people there because that was a

00:30:23.860 major claim in fact biden ran on that hoax so knowing the knowing the answer to the question

00:30:31.860 were there any people who were non-racists who were there just for the statues was the most important

00:30:38.440 question and nobody ever asked it except me nobody in the world i'm the only one who asked the question

00:30:46.800 and was the most important question which probably even got biden elected so back to the other one about

00:30:55.340 the ukrainian prosecutor shokin today i wake up to find that the news says

00:31:02.080 um and uh i saw this on a uh miranda is it divine i don't want to say divine right not divine

00:31:13.380 yes divine so miranda divine was uh writing and i saw kanakoa the great retweeting that the european

00:31:23.060 commission praised ukraine's prosecutor victor shokin for his efforts to fight corruption

00:31:29.160 in a december 2015 progress report published nine days after nine days after vp joe biden demanded his

00:31:40.620 ouster so the entity that he says agreed with him strikingly disagreed

00:31:47.820 even after he said it they disagreed in writing did you ever see that reported

00:31:57.600 have any of you ever seen that in the news before today

00:32:02.940 nope now let me ask you this is it a coincidence that i tweeted this and then it showed up in the news

00:32:12.900 within hours

00:32:14.100 i don't know i don't know but it's the most important question in the world

00:32:24.780 now would you agree it's the most important question in the world

00:32:27.900 because everything makes sense once you know that it was never true because that also allows you to

00:32:37.680 understand which news entities are corrupt because any news entity that was in curious about that

00:32:45.940 question is corrupt or completely incompetent i guess am i right did did you ever hear anybody even 0.66

00:32:56.520 ask the question have you checked with those other people because his entire story the entire story

00:33:02.380 story forever has depended on those other people and nobody ever talked to them you know but i guess

00:33:08.460 it was some news report that could be pulled down yeah how mind-blowing is that that the most important

00:33:17.420 question in the world the entire media appeared to be completely incurious about

00:33:22.220 but i'll give miranda divine a the credit in the new york post because they were curious enough to go get the answer 1.00

00:33:31.560 and the answer was it was a lie according to this

00:33:35.680 do you think this will be all over cnn today that the most important fact that we've ever seen in a year

00:33:44.760 probably just became clear no no no because democrats will never learn that what they think is the news has always been

00:33:56.220 brainwashing ops on them a little bit on us too but mostly they're brainwashing their own team

00:34:02.380 now here's the question do you think you're the atom of simulation theory

00:34:10.300 as in adam and eve that's a weird little weird little uh coincidence all right uh here's another

00:34:20.240 uh thing that uh democrats don't know but you do and so you know yuland musk again is having a battle

00:34:28.720 with the adl now here's what we know because we pay attention but others don't that the adl may have

00:34:37.660 had some noble purpose in the past i'm going to give them benefit of a doubt but at the moment

00:34:43.080 they're just a democrat organ that the democrats use to smear their opponents that's all it is

00:34:49.780 and they but because either people don't know or don't care uh apparently the media has

00:34:57.280 formed behind them and now there are a bunch of headlines about how uh elon musk is attacking this

00:35:04.080 wonderful adl so i guess he must be an anti-semite because he's going after the adl now if you were

00:35:10.640 a democrat you would think this is true but it's an op this this is obviously the adl obviously got

00:35:19.480 their media friends to write articles saying that the adl is right and elon musk is wrong do you know

00:35:26.180 why because if their friends didn't write that they would get smeared for being anti-semitic

00:35:31.500 the adl largely controls the news because they'll just call you anti-semitic even if it's

00:35:37.760 unrelated to the topic they'll find a reason to call you anti-semitic if you report things they

00:35:43.740 don't like they being the democrats now if you didn't know that you would think that elon musk is

00:35:51.260 acting sketchy by being against somebody who's against defamation that and that's what the democrats

00:35:58.560 would see right no dick it's not about the tribe it's about democrats who controls the adl one guy 0.73

00:36:13.660 one guy controls the adl do you know israel doesn't like the adl right 0.97

00:36:18.660 so those of you are saying oh this is the adl it's it's all part of the jewish conspiracy

00:36:26.140 don't you think that um benjamin netanyahu don't you think that he would be on the same side

00:36:34.560 if there was a major jewish conspiracy that the adl would be part of right israel is not a big fan of

00:36:42.320 the adl for the same reason that i'm describing they're not they're not a credible organization

00:36:47.560 and they certainly don't make israel look good so you're gonna have to work on your conspiracy

00:36:53.720 theories you're gonna have you're gonna have to explain why you think israel wants open borders 0.98

00:37:00.280 the dumbest fucking thing anybody ever thought in their life you know so you think they're all 0.98

00:37:05.300 backing soros and his open borders because israel itself would be better off with open borders 1.00

00:37:10.700 that's your theory that's your fucking theory like you should at least have a conspiracy theory 0.99

00:37:18.040 which sticks together a little bit right if your jewish conspiracy theory doesn't include 1.00

00:37:26.100 israel then you probably have a problem with your theory

00:37:30.400 all right enough about that

00:37:34.600 um mike lindell is being a hero he's uh he's being uh what do you call it uh deposition he was doing a

00:37:44.580 deposition in which the lawyer uh referred to him as taking customer complaint calls

00:37:51.220 and uh he characterized it as people complaining about lumpy pillows well let me tell you

00:37:58.180 you can call mike lindell uh you know names you can say you can say that he's crazy

00:38:08.580 you can say he's a conspiracy theorist you can say many things about him but don't make fun of his 0.99

00:38:17.280 pillows that was a line too far and there's a funny clip of him calling the lawyer an asshole over and 0.99

00:38:24.560 over again which i could just watch all day long because the lawyer was an asshole there was nothing about 0.97

00:38:32.480 this deposition which should have mentioned lumpy pillows because it's not an evidence and it had 0.97

00:38:38.480 nothing to do with anything it was just a way to defame him in case the you know it was just another way

00:38:46.400 to defame him basically so it was a uh a very bad behavior and he just went after him it was fun

00:38:55.080 so i'm gonna buy two more pillows i'm gonna buy two i've got a couple i'm gonna buy two more my pillows 0.98

00:39:02.300 to reward him for his bad behavior because anytime somebody calls their lawyer an asshole during a 0.98

00:39:07.640 deposition my first question is what are you selling i think i need two of them so i'm gonna buy two pillows 0.98

00:39:14.860 uh sometime the next day or two oh they're good pillows yeah and by the way that the the design of

00:39:24.220 the my pillow it can't possibly be lumpy by design it wouldn't even be bought wouldn't even be a

00:39:30.120 possibility so i can see why you would be mad about that word these are not lumpy pillows they

00:39:36.060 will hold their form and you know there's a lot of personal preference but if if your personal

00:39:41.460 preference is like a nice firm pillow they're very good very good pillow i i can say for sure that

00:39:49.520 these are way above average pillows i haven't tried every pillow in the world but they're good pillows

00:39:54.020 all right

00:39:56.120 and that ladies and gentlemen is the stories that interested me the most did i miss anything

00:40:05.700 is there any good story anything uh juicy that i soft landing talk about the economy you know i i do

00:40:16.220 not understand what's going on with the economy if anybody does because every part of it appears to

00:40:24.440 be something that's you know ready to fall apart but at the same time was it krugman who said that

00:40:30.900 people don't know that inflation is coming down or has come down or something do you believe that

00:40:37.000 do you does it feel to you like inflation came down doesn't feel it at the grocery store a restaurant

00:40:47.100 gas i think my health club is the same price i quit but if i went back it'd be the same price

00:40:56.480 uh rent would be up housing would be up furniture would be up insurance would be up energy would be up

00:41:05.420 what is he talking about i don't know anything that isn't up just maybe a few consumer items right

00:41:12.300 that's about it you got it so even even something like a uh inflation measurement you can't even trust

00:41:21.460 that all right let me tell you which things i'm good at predicting and what i'm not so this is what

00:41:29.640 i've learned on my own i'm terrible at predicting uh normal politics so the question there was who would

00:41:37.680 be trump's vice president i would call that normal politics because that has to do with a lot of

00:41:44.460 things that happen behind the scenes so i will always be bad at predicting who somebody will pick

00:41:50.360 as a vice president and have been bad in the past so i have don't don't listen to me when i say vice

00:41:55.080 president picks i'm also bad on anything that's purely political because i don't have much insight to

00:42:02.640 that the the places that i do well are spotting bullshit as i did with the uh the shokin thing

00:42:12.620 as i did with the fine people as i did with the um drinking bleach hoax so i'm really good at spotting 0.96

00:42:19.800 bullshit you know i was the first one i think probably the first one to call out that the secret 0.96

00:42:25.960 sonic weapon was bullshit you know as soon as the uh the ufo came out most of you were on the same 1.00

00:42:33.400 page but it didn't take me long to say bullshit and sure enough we're not seeing any aliens right 0.99

00:42:39.140 so if i tell you something's bullshit i think i have at least an 80 percent record would you agree 0.98

00:42:47.160 if you've been watching me for a while would you say i'm about 80 percent 0.93

00:42:51.380 right when i call out something that's not true yeah i think it's 90 but i'm going to give you 80

00:42:57.980 um but when it's a purely political thing would you also agree that i'm not so hot on that god

00:43:05.900 i don't have any i have no insight into that whatsoever yeah now i do have a tech so another

00:43:15.400 category would be technology and i don't know what my record is on technology but my but there's one

00:43:23.060 we can test i i'm one of the early people to say that ai will be underwhelming underwhelming and i

00:43:34.000 think that's contrarian so at least the the current version is just going to be a cool tool that only

00:43:41.260 people who take the time to learn how to use the tool are going to use which means that people will

00:43:46.720 use it in the context of their job but not much else so it'll be as transformative as the laser

00:43:54.440 printer and you know uh let's say when dos became you know visual it's going to be sort of like that so

00:44:03.700 it'll certainly make things look and feel different certainly your customer interactions with

00:44:09.900 companies should be greatly improved um i've had a few experiences of getting you know a good

00:44:16.660 high functioning ai in fact i had this the other day i got an ai instead of a person but it wasn't

00:44:24.700 one of these stupid phone trees that never work where you try to work through the phone tree it was

00:44:29.840 just a conversation it just asked me questions and i answered them i knew it was ai and it worked 0.98

00:44:35.580 it got it got me all the way to a final result it was very good now stuff like that will happen

00:44:42.340 stuff like that will happen but that's not really transformative it's not going to end society

00:44:48.520 i don't see the ai breaking people's passwords yet i don't it wasn't supposed to break all our

00:44:55.980 passwords by now so so you can test this one so my my prediction is the ai is uh

00:45:04.340 oh my somebody says my hardcover edition got fixed on amazon

00:45:09.720 oh it wasn't fixed this morning

00:45:14.100 when i got in this morning it wasn't fixed but i'll check that out

00:45:19.180 all right uh

00:45:21.820 great book well let me tell you tell you again that my

00:45:31.100 um the reviews for reframe your brain are amazing it definitely is the best book i've written

00:45:40.360 in terms of usefulness so i would i have this following claim here's my claim there's no book

00:45:48.080 on improving your life that gives you more value in a simpler form it's the highest value

00:45:56.440 in the the simplest effort you really just read the sentence basically just read the sentence

00:46:02.800 some of them will work for you and some of them will be irrelevant

00:46:05.440 but that's my claim there's no book in the world

00:46:08.860 ever

00:46:09.940 they gave you this much benefit with this much

00:46:13.160 little effort

00:46:14.360 that's a big claim but look if if you see the people going by who have read the book they're

00:46:20.720 saying oh yeah that's true right there's nobody who's disagreeing with it who actually read it

00:46:25.160 nobody just think about how big the claim is

00:46:28.820 i just said it was like the most useful book ever

00:46:33.300 a ridiculous claim for the little amount of time you put into it and there's not a single person who

00:46:40.100 read it was disagreeing i'm watching more comments on the locals platform but just think about that 0.97

00:46:45.560 how extraordinary that is can it fix brain damage maybe

00:46:51.080 depends how you it depends how you define damage

00:46:56.480 um

00:47:00.200 may so i guess uh apple is working on their own ai and they're putting massive amounts of money into it

00:47:09.100 um

00:47:13.560 use the first option there's still workbooks yeah

00:47:16.960 oh there's no hardcover okay so no the hardcover hasn't been fixed

00:47:26.140 so you might be you might be somebody i think somebody just noted that it's not fixed

00:47:32.120 that one of the problems is that it would be fixed and then unfixed

00:47:37.240 you just bought the hardcover well it does show up but it shows up

00:47:43.780 second so it shows the fake one first the last i checked i'll check again

00:47:49.040 but my old publisher did say they were going to take it down but it might take a few days

00:47:54.700 six weeks

00:47:58.900 six weeks oh does it show not available

00:48:01.780 does it say the hardcover is not available when it is

00:48:07.080 all right um rumor that apple might buy disney oh i haven't heard that that doesn't sound

00:48:21.660 real

00:48:22.180 that apple might buy disney

00:48:24.780 i don't see that's real

00:48:28.240 that feels like the worst idea in the world

00:48:32.520 seriously that's not the worst idea in the world

00:48:37.220 those businesses don't belong together

00:48:43.700 that those are completely different businesses

00:48:47.240 i can't imagine that uh steve jobs would do that

00:48:52.560 apple tv needs content

00:48:57.800 hmm

00:48:58.720 ah okay

00:49:00.460 so they're just buying a content maker for apple tv

00:49:04.520 hmm

00:49:06.080 all right

00:49:07.740 i'll give you that

00:49:09.320 i'll give you apple tv

00:49:10.880 scott do you know donate to the adl

00:49:16.240 seriously

00:49:17.940 who runs the adl scott

00:49:23.560 people that uh benjamin netanyahu doesn't like

00:49:26.960 are we done here

00:49:28.700 i mean seriously 0.99

00:49:30.480 how many fucking times do i have to tell you the same thing 0.99

00:49:33.440 wow 1.00

00:49:37.260 wow

00:49:38.660 all right i'll even be more striking

00:49:46.140 you ready

00:49:46.820 if you had to guess

00:49:48.580 who does the prime minister of israel

00:49:51.800 benjamin netanyahu

00:49:53.180 who do you think he likes better

00:49:55.020 jonathan greenblatt

00:49:57.380 the head of the adl

00:49:58.400 or me

00:49:59.620 what do you think

00:50:02.620 gun to head

00:50:04.220 if he had to pick one of those people

00:50:05.880 who do you think he would pick

00:50:07.620 as his favorite person of the two of us

00:50:09.480 it wouldn't even be close

00:50:10.860 does that give you any pause at all

00:50:14.980 about your theories

00:50:16.580 no

00:50:18.200 no he doesn't like greenblatt

00:50:20.000 the adl doesn't like uh

00:50:21.620 netanyahu

00:50:22.340 thinks thinks he's too conservative

00:50:25.500 thinks he's too friendly to trump probably

00:50:28.720 all right

00:50:32.380 um 0.97

00:50:36.880 all right well you're being silly now 0.97

00:50:44.180 so i'm going to ignore all your comments 0.94

00:50:45.800 all right youtube 0.81

00:50:47.600 you've gone down into the sewer

00:50:49.860 so i think we'll

00:50:51.020 end this now

00:50:52.140 and i will talk to you

00:50:53.560 tomorrow
