And welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:16.440
Some people are calling it Colonizing with Scott Adams.
00:00:21.280
But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that no colonizer has ever seen before,
00:00:26.520
all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:00:37.680
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine at the end of the day,
00:01:02.640
Before you do anything recreational, make sure you've turned off all sources of news.
00:01:09.900
Has anybody made the mistake of trying to relax at the same time they had the news on?
00:01:26.100
It was just sort of a perfect night for it in California.
00:01:30.000
I thought, you know, I forgot to listen to my favorite show about the news, The Five.
00:01:39.920
And I leaned back, and I'm just, like, soaking into the water.
00:01:46.580
And on comes the segment about Matthew Perry drowning in his hot tub.
00:01:53.940
And then there's conversation about how apparently some people with certain heart problems could, you know, maybe die in a hot tub.
00:02:06.640
And suddenly, I'm sitting in the hot tub, and I kid you not, I'm going to the doctors this afternoon because my blood pressure is high.
00:02:18.320
So I'm sitting there with actually, you know, cardio situation that I'm medically looking into at the moment.
00:02:25.720
And I hear this, you know, maybe, maybe there were, maybe there were no substances involved.
00:02:31.840
Maybe you just got in hot water and, psh, dead.
00:02:34.640
But, well, let's just say that my hot tub experience was not the delight I was expecting.
00:02:43.240
So, just remember, don't listen to news at the same time you're trying to do recreation.
00:02:52.300
Well, you might know that my song, yeah, yeah, I wrote a song, sort of.
00:02:57.720
I did a drum beat that Stormcrow over on the X platform.
00:03:04.980
Apparently, he's turning it into an actual, he has turned it into a music video.
00:03:10.860
And it sounds like from his post he's going to release it.
00:03:16.660
So it would be a combination of AI plus my drum beat plus some other stuff, some magic that he's adding to it, Stormcrow is.
00:03:33.860
I'm hoping, I'm hoping if it's available commercially, I don't know if it will be.
00:03:37.900
But if it is, I'm hoping you buy it so I have a number one hit song.
00:03:44.700
Well, Elon Musk is calling the end of woke, or at least peak woke, or woke is going too far.
00:03:52.800
But his turning point that he points out to South Park is just viciously mocking everything woke in their new episode.
00:04:00.700
And I do think mockery could be called a turning point.
00:04:10.300
Wasn't there a point where you could not have done that South Park episode?
00:04:14.740
Where they just viciously mocked all the woke stuff?
00:04:17.940
I feel like you can do it now, or maybe partly because they already did it.
00:04:27.200
I think once it becomes just a joke, then you have your free speech back.
00:04:35.460
So Musk says, the great awakening from woke has happened.
00:04:43.880
If he means you can now outright mock it in public, he's right.
00:04:51.640
The point where you can mock it outright in any context.
00:04:57.460
I'm mocking it right now, right in public, and not worried about it.
00:05:04.540
Well, we can't get away from this hockey story because it's so weird and tragic.
00:05:10.520
So this hockey player named Adam Johnson got killed by another hockey player who gave him a high kick with a skate on,
00:05:21.380
and it looks like he hit him in the neck, and it was a sharp skate, and killed him.
00:05:26.760
Now, of course, like everything else, it took on a racial dimension.
00:05:36.660
I've only, you know, tangentially pay attention to it when it's around.
00:05:48.500
Not, you know, which has more to do with the fact that I don't watch it, probably.
00:05:52.220
So the one time I've ever even heard of a black hockey player,
00:05:57.060
he's the one who kicked the other person to death with his skate.
00:06:06.620
I don't think there's anything about being black that causes you to do a karate kick during a hockey game and kill another guy.
00:06:16.420
Like, I don't think that's, like, baked into your genes, your culture, or anything like that.
00:06:21.760
But the fact that it happened at all, and we're such a visual species, is really, really bad for the black brand, right?
00:06:33.420
So we all know, logically, you shouldn't make any kind of general statement about it,
00:06:39.120
because it was one very specific person who did one very specific thing,
00:06:52.580
Or there's no way he meant that it would have that outcome.
00:06:58.300
But something happened, and there'll be consequences, I'm sure.
00:07:10.740
and the simulation just served us up the most ridiculous example
00:07:22.780
The one person you've ever heard of who's a black hockey player kills a white guy.
00:07:37.660
Well, I was accused today on the X platform by another user who said about me,
00:07:46.920
this dude is so obviously someone's intelligence asset,
00:07:50.700
it boggles my mind anyone thought he was genuine.
00:08:07.160
and then I tell you things that are compatible with being on that side.
00:08:14.020
So I'm not much of an intelligence asset if I tell you what I do.
00:08:18.760
If I tell you what I'm doing, and then I do it in front of you,
00:08:26.800
Yeah, I'm not even going to pretend not to be biased on this topic.
00:08:30.860
There are some topics where I can take a valued effort at being unbiased.
00:08:37.740
I'm not sure I succeed, but at least I can take a shot at it.
00:08:43.160
Not even going to make an effort to be unbiased.
00:08:48.040
But I like the fact that I'm doing something so well
00:08:50.620
that somebody's accusing me of being an intelligence asset.
00:08:53.420
Are you following the story about the 14th Amendment trick
00:09:06.280
that anyone who took an oath to support the Constitution
00:09:11.720
engaged in insurrection or rebellion against it cannot hold office.
00:09:15.800
So that would mean that Trump, if the courts found that to be the case,
00:09:20.660
would disqualify Trump from even running for president.
00:09:23.260
Now, what would be the evidence that he was involved in an insurrection or rebellion?
00:09:33.120
It would only be the narrative of the January 6th total biased Democratic hit job.
00:09:40.020
That's basically the evidence is that a biased political process decided to use this.
00:09:51.220
So this is probably always was their intended play
00:09:57.980
so that the courts would maybe find he couldn't run.
00:10:00.600
Now, do you think there's any chance, any chance at all,
00:10:06.340
that this would hold up in the Supreme Court, assuming it gets there?
00:10:21.320
I would expect mass violence if the courts found that he couldn't run.
00:10:32.420
But this would be the sort of thing that would be like a Boston Tea Party.
00:10:50.820
in the unlikely event that the courts upheld this,
00:11:01.360
Because this is clearly and absolutely too far.
00:11:05.940
There's no way that the citizenry would stand for this.
00:11:16.120
so they'd have more reason to lock up people they don't like.
00:11:34.300
obviously there would have to be a strong reaction.
00:12:13.180
So it looks like he's way down with independents.
00:13:28.840
has nothing to do with the nature of their brains.
00:13:41.740
maybe you're paying attention a little bit more.
00:13:53.500
It looks like everybody's lying to me all the time.
00:14:27.400
It's just a trick for young people and stupid people.
00:14:38.280
And whenever there's a political element to anything,
