Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2321 CWSA 12⧸13⧸23 The Thanos Mockery Play Is Working, AI Is Mean, Lots More Fun With News

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:13.380 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time, but

00:00:16.820 could it go even higher? Could it be even better? It can. And all you need for that is a cupper,

00:00:24.740 mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, jogger, flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:30.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the

00:00:36.520 dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous

00:00:41.600 hip. It happens now. Go. Yeah, savor it.

00:00:54.100 Well, if you had said to me five years ago, Scott, could we build a wall on the southern border?

00:01:02.440 You know what I would have said? That's a good idea. Good idea. If you'd asked me four years ago,

00:01:10.920 should we build a wall on the southern border? I'd say, feel good. Feel good. Three years ago,

00:01:17.620 two years ago, one year ago? Same answer. Yes. We need that wall. But today we learn

00:01:25.160 that our government is considering and maybe even deploying robot dogs at the border. Robot dogs.

00:01:35.020 Well, I don't like to admit I was wrong about anything, really. But I'm going to make an

00:01:44.320 exception today. I was so wrong about that wall thing. Because if we built the wall, probably

00:01:52.760 no chance of robot dogs. Now, come on. What would you rather see? Immigrants coming up to the wall 1.00

00:02:02.540 and saying, oh, damn, we can't get over. We better go back. That's no fun. Or would you rather see

00:02:09.620 unlimited videos of robot dogs chasing immigrants across open fields, taking them down and waiting

00:02:19.260 for the drone to come in to put the cuffs on them? You tell me which is more fun. Now, I don't wish any

00:02:26.900 harm on the immigrants who are just trying to have a better life. But I really do want to see a robot 0.96

00:02:32.920 dog take down people running across the desert. I'm not the only one, am I? Come on. Help me out here.

00:02:41.720 I'm not the only one, right? I'm not the only one who wants to see robots take people down in the desert?

00:02:47.580 Anybody else? Anybody? Okay. It's just me. It's just me. It's just me and Barry. Barry apparently is on board. Thank you, Barry.

00:03:00.940 All right. In other robot news, Elon Musk is tweeting a new image of the new Tesla robot, Optimus.

00:03:10.880 Optimus. Now, I was pretty excited about Optimus until I saw Optimus walking. Has anybody seen the video

00:03:19.840 of Optimus walking? I don't want to alarm you, but it looks a little like this.

00:03:29.040 Optimus. Now, I think you probably caught on. Yeah. Here's the question I have. How long has Joe Biden

00:03:47.960 been a robot? Because there are no other humans who walk like that. Am I right?

00:03:57.000 When I do my Biden walking impression, you say to yourself, that could have been anybody.

00:04:03.680 No, you don't. You say, I've never seen anybody, any human walk like that. And I didn't know,

00:04:10.720 like, why is he the only person who walks like that? And then I saw Optimus walking, and I said,

00:04:18.020 oh, shit. It already happened. He's been a robot for a long time.

00:04:22.680 And Biden is really the perfect choice to make your first humanoid robot because there's not much

00:04:32.480 to work with there. You know, one of the hard things to do with the robots is to get the facial

00:04:38.740 reactions right. But if you're just doing Biden, all you have to do is that pop at Walter, you know,

00:04:45.880 the frowny face and just look like you don't know where you are. Very easy bar for a robot to get

00:04:54.320 across. And then what about intelligence? I mean, the hard part, right, is getting the intelligence.

00:05:00.620 Well, it turns out that there again, AI doesn't have any trouble matching Joe Biden's intellect and

00:05:08.840 communication style. So it's perfectly possible that Biden has been a robot for the last three

00:05:16.460 years. And we're just finding out. I'd just like to add that to the mix. In case anybody needs a new

00:05:23.560 conspiracy theory. Aren't you tired of the old, we didn't really land on the moon and, you know,

00:05:31.240 the cotton trails in the air. Boring, right? Pizzagate. Boring. Boring. We need a new conspiracy theory 0.66

00:05:42.220 that Biden has been a robot for three years. Just putting that out there. All right. Speaking of robots,

00:05:52.340 Don Lemon, who, you know, has retired from, well, forced, was forced to retire from CNN. I guess he

00:06:00.420 doesn't watch CNN anymore, but reportedly he watches the Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro and Piers Morgan.

00:06:09.120 All right. Did anybody see that coming? Did you ever imagine that Don Lemon might have a little bit

00:06:18.400 of, let's say, not love for, but maybe appreciation for a little bit of the messaging on the right?

00:06:28.280 Does that surprise you?

00:06:30.420 You shouldn't. You shouldn't. Because if you saw some of his older videos, he was pretty anti-crime

00:06:37.440 and he was against sagging pants and basically any culture that would be negative to, you know,

00:06:45.580 success. So are you surprised? I'm not surprised a bit. Not surprised a bit. Because it always looked

00:06:55.280 to me like the CNN hosts were playing a role. Did you always have that feeling? It never looked to me

00:07:03.340 like those were their honest opinions. It always looked to me like the boss told them how to pee.

00:07:10.140 They had really good paychecks. So they gave them what the boss wanted.

00:07:13.800 I always wondered that about Jake Tapper. Don't you wonder if his opinions would change the moment he took

00:07:24.200 another job? I feel like it might, but there's no way to know.

00:07:28.200 So you've seen now that Chris Cuomo, who also had been, you know, let's say the compatriot of Don Lemon at CNN,

00:07:40.480 he said recently that he would be open to at least considering voting for Trump.

00:07:45.640 And most of you said, well, that's a lie. And I told you, it's not a lie. I'm not saying he'll vote

00:07:53.560 for Trump. You know, that'd be still a stretch. But when he says he's open to it, that is not out of

00:07:59.980 the question. That's actually true. I believe that is 100% true. And if you heard tomorrow, he hasn't

00:08:06.980 said this, but if you were tomorrow, Don Lemon say, I haven't decided who to vote for, but I haven't ruled

00:08:13.420 down Trump, I wouldn't even be surprised. Now, I'm not saying he will ever say that. I'm saying if he

00:08:20.860 did, it wouldn't be that inconsistent with what we know about him and how we know CNN operated.

00:08:27.620 It wouldn't be a huge surprise. It'd be news, but it wouldn't be a surprise. And especially if you're

00:08:34.180 talking about stuff like crime in the cities and open borders, there's no reasonable Democrat

00:08:40.200 Democrat who thinks those are good ideas. There aren't any. All right. So there's a survey that

00:08:49.680 says 50% of Americans watch content with the subtitles on most of the time because they

00:08:55.480 can't hear it. Chris Williamson was posting about this. And when asked their main reason

00:09:02.340 for using subtitles, 55% said, it's hard to hear the dialogue. And nearly three and four

00:09:10.060 claim muddled audio. Do you know why it's impossible to watch TV? Have you ever tried to watch any

00:09:18.980 drama? And during the daytime, indoors, it's dark. Have you ever noticed that? Daytime. It'll be

00:09:29.940 daytime in somebody's office and it'll be dark. And they just act like that's okay. And then all

00:09:35.560 the people will mumble and whisper in the dark. So you can't see it. You can't fucking hear it.

00:09:45.020 Do you know why? Do you know why this content would be made that way? Now you might say to yourself,

00:09:50.540 well, it's probably a technical limitation. But I don't have any problem hearing the news.

00:09:55.900 Does anybody have any trouble hearing the news? No. I hear every word that every pundit says,

00:10:03.660 even if they have an accent, no matter what. Even when they do the report from the field,

00:10:10.160 and there's like wind or background noise, I can hear them perfectly. No problem at all. Not once

00:10:15.520 with a news program. How about sports? Do you have any trouble hearing sports? No. No. No. You can say,

00:10:23.320 oh, they're talking louder or something. But not really. In sports, they're talking over the crowd

00:10:28.100 noise. They're always talking over noise. I can hear them perfectly. So why is it that dramas

00:10:35.160 are all garbage? That you can't see them and you can't hear them? I'll tell you why. Because all the

00:10:43.300 directors and the actors and whatnot are trying for an Academy Award. And the Academy Award,

00:10:50.020 apparently, you've got to have a disability. You've got to be some kind of ethnic or religious group

00:10:57.660 that's under fire. And you've got to be in the dark. And you've got to whisper and mumble to sound

00:11:04.720 serious. And they just won't make any other kind of movie. Now, part of that is because the creative

00:11:11.780 people have too much power. You remember when movies were good back in the Hitchcock era? Well,

00:11:18.620 maybe you're not young enough. You're not old enough to remember that. But there was a time when

00:11:22.780 a movie would be a real tight 90 minutes. And you'd watch that 90 minutes and you'd say, that was

00:11:28.800 that was tight. Good dialogue, good acting. I didn't see where it was going. Nice twist at the end.

00:11:35.260 Wow. Good show. And now you watch a movie, you can guarantee that somebody will be tied to a chair

00:11:42.160 to be tortured. You can guarantee that there will be this overly long romantic scene so that you can

00:11:49.780 understand that the two lead characters love each other. Because you couldn't figure that out by the

00:11:55.780 context or anything. And then there will be some cringey, gay scene that they have to put in there 1.00

00:12:03.180 just to make sure everybody's got their situation. And by the way, the hetero scenes are all cringey as

00:12:09.000 well. The cringey part does not apply to the fact that they're gay. The cringey part is, I don't need 1.00

00:12:15.420 to see, you know, semi-racy sex scenes in a movie. They never add. They never add to the quality of the

00:12:27.580 movie. I fast forward through all the romance scenes. I fast forward through all car chase

00:12:33.340 scenes because they all look alike now. You can't really, it was pretty hard to excite me with a car

00:12:38.300 chase. All the torture scenes where somebody tied to a chair. And usually I also go past the

00:12:48.500 one hero beats up 15 people scenes. Oh no, the hero is surrounded by 15 people.

00:12:55.900 I wonder if the hero can beat all 15 in a death fight. Yes, they can. Fast forward.

00:13:04.940 Can you imagine yourself watching a Hitchcock movie and even thinking to fast forward any part of it?

00:13:13.260 Just hold that in your mind. You would never even consider it. You would never at all.

00:13:20.460 Right. So, and I'm told that the reason is that the directors and the actors and the writers and stuff

00:13:28.860 have more power. So they insist that all of their content get in there and then they got to throw in

00:13:35.260 those things that people expect. So yeah, movies are terrible. So China is deflating. So instead of 1.00

00:13:43.420 inflation, they have deflation. And we hear different stories of their imminent economic demise every

00:13:51.660 day. Probably all exaggerated. But I'm wondering this, just sort of a basic economic question.

00:13:59.980 Would the United States already be toast economically, if not for the fact everybody else was doing worse?

00:14:06.700 Is the only thing that's protecting America, the fact that everybody else is a little bit worse?

00:14:15.500 Because right now we can still attract investment, even though, you know, we're shadow of our former

00:14:22.460 selves economically in some ways. But it's because where are you going to put your money in Russia,

00:14:28.540 China, North Korea? It's like, we just don't have what we used to have. But other people are worse. So

00:14:36.460 yeah, that's a that's a pretty sketchy situation. But it's holding for now.

00:14:43.980 It looks like Tucker Carlson has started up his Tucker Carlson network. And I'm hearing all kinds of

00:14:50.860 things about it. So he's doing an amazing job of getting attention. But I was listening to some audio

00:14:56.700 clips from him yesterday. And one of them, I think was on spaces. He was talking about

00:15:03.500 Quinn Jean Pierre, the spokesperson.

00:15:07.980 He says she's so dumb, he can't understand how she even got a driver's license.

00:15:14.940 So, so Tucker has vowed that for the rest of his days on this earth, he's going to tell the truth,

00:15:23.340 no matter how brutal it is, in his personal life and professional life. Now, I always thought he

00:15:29.020 was telling the truth before. But but it sounds like he's announcing he's going to the next level,

00:15:34.540 because he doesn't have any sponsors or anything. So he's just going right at the corruption and

00:15:39.900 incompetence. He says everybody knows Biden is senile. And his spokesperson is the dumbest person we've

00:15:47.660 ever seen in the job. And it's a miracle she got a driver's license. Now, does anybody think that

00:15:54.940 Quinn Jean Pierre is keeping her job for any reason, other than her diversity? Nobody thinks that. I can't

00:16:05.660 imagine there's even a Democrat who thinks that she's qualified. But maybe, you know, maybe they do.

00:16:12.380 But it will be fun to watch Tucker go full honesty. Speaking of DEI, more articles about it dying.

00:16:22.460 So there's a backlash over DEI, the diversity, equity and inclusion stuff. And colleges and

00:16:30.060 companies are starting to pull back a little bit. Not enough. I mean, it's still pervasive, but there

00:16:35.740 seems to be some kind of a trend going on. And programs are being cut in various places. But here's

00:16:42.300 the funniest part of the story. One DEI professional was interviewed about why, you know, everything's

00:16:50.380 going wrong, and the DEI programs are being cut. And one person said that the solution was not to cut

00:16:57.660 DEI because, you know, you're not getting the result you want. The solution is more DEI. Because the DEI

00:17:04.940 stuff was getting heat for not being pro-Israel enough, I guess. And they're saying, but if we

00:17:13.020 were a little bit more DEI, we would be pro-Israel too. And we would be more pro-Islamic people too.

00:17:24.060 If only you gave us a little more money, put a little more attention into this DEI, we hit it a little

00:17:29.820 bit harder than those problems that you're seeing at Harvard, they'll go away. So what you need is

00:17:35.420 more of the thing that's not working until it works. Now, I love it when something I don't like

00:17:45.340 goes to the point of only being funny. Every story about it is just how funny it is while it's dying.

00:17:51.820 This is funny. It's funny that they think the solution to that is more of it.

00:17:58.060 Okay. Now, I'd like to make an observation that I'm uniquely qualified to make about DEI. Are you

00:18:04.860 ready? Uniquely qualified. Now, that's a claim, right? Imagine all the people in the world,

00:18:11.900 8 billion of them, and I say I'm uniquely qualified to make the following point. And of all 8 billion people,

00:18:21.020 I'm uniquely qualified. Is that too big a claim? Can I back it up? Well, I say I can.

00:18:31.100 My biggest bestselling book was called The Dilbert Principle. And the basic idea of it,

00:18:36.940 and basically it's the thing that put me on the map because it was such a big hit, is the idea that,

00:18:44.620 at least in the early days of the tech boom, the high tech boom, I came up with the observation,

00:18:52.460 because I was working in corporate America at the time, that it was hard to get qualified technology

00:18:59.180 people in your company. So there was a great thirst for more high tech employees, and they were hard to

00:19:05.660 get. So if you wanted to find somebody who would be the boss of any high tech group,

00:19:13.900 you didn't want somebody who had no experience in technology, that'd be a disaster. But you also

00:19:19.580 don't want to waste one of your smart, really good programmers or technical people. You don't want to

00:19:25.660 waste an engineer in a management job, you know, ordering the, you know, having meetings and telling

00:19:33.100 people to give you status reports, it's a wasted function. And so I, so I made the rye observation,

00:19:41.180 that the bosses of all the technical groups, were the dumbest people. Now that was actually true.

00:19:48.620 And not 100% true everywhere, like nothing is. But it was an observation. And I was seeing it all over

00:19:56.220 the place. They would literally promote the least technically qualified person. So you didn't waste

00:20:02.940 talent, it would just be a waste of talent to have them as a manager. Now, take that concept,

00:20:11.500 which was obvious enough that it made the book a bestseller, because people read that and said,

00:20:16.220 Oh, yeah, that's what we're seeing. Now, let me ask you this, two years ago, or however,

00:20:21.500 a few years ago, when George Floyd became the big thing. And then businesses said, Oh,

00:20:27.420 we better hurry up and get us some DEI employees and a DER department. Who do you think they hired 1.00

00:20:35.660 when they were in a big hurry to get a DEI department? Did they look among their existing

00:20:42.220 staff and say, we have to pick our best and our brightest and put them into the DEI group?

00:20:49.260 Probably not. Because you don't want to waste, you know, your best finance guy,

00:20:55.580 or your best technology woman. You know, the people who really are making the company hum,

00:21:01.740 you don't want to waste them. So who are you going to get? Well, you're probably hiring from the outside.

00:21:09.740 But have I ever told you that if you do anything to artificially constrain your hiring pool,

00:21:16.300 you're pretty much guaranteed to get less quality, right? Let me give you an example. If you said,

00:21:23.100 let's put the greatest technology minds from the country of Luxembourg in a contest against the

00:21:30.780 greatest technology minds in, let's say, China, which one would you expect to have greater technology

00:21:37.980 minds? A tiny little country of Luxembourg, which has very few people of any kind, much less geniuses,

00:21:45.580 probably have the right ratio, but there's just not many people. China could even have,

00:21:51.100 you know, hypothetically, they could have fewer as a percentage and still have, you know, 10 million

00:21:58.220 more experts. So anything you do to artificially constrain the number of people that you consider

00:22:05.420 guarantees you a low quality, right? So now they're saying, all right, we don't want to

00:22:10.780 waste somebody who's in our existing structure. So let's hire from the outside. At the same time,

00:22:17.100 everybody else is hiring from the outside for the same reason. So you've got a limited pool because

00:22:22.540 suddenly everybody's trying to get them, very much like AI experts, right? The reason we're talking

00:22:28.460 so much about this Ilya, whatever his last name is, who's missing from OpenAI, suddenly,

00:22:36.140 it's because there aren't many of them. The reason when Sam Altman, you know, looked like he was pushed

00:22:42.700 out of OpenAI, the reason it was a big issue is there aren't many Sam Altman's. There are not many

00:22:49.260 of him, right? And so if everybody tries to make an AI group, and this would be Elon Musk's problem

00:22:56.140 as well. You don't want to be the fifth company that tries to make AI. Because the first four

00:23:02.620 already hired everybody who's in the top zone. Everybody, right? There just wouldn't be anybody

00:23:07.980 left. Ilya, yeah, okay. I thought you gave me his real name, but it's not Kuriakam.

00:23:16.140 Man from uncle reference. All right. So here's the point. The DEI professionals are not only

00:23:25.100 selected from a limited pool because everybody's selecting at the same time. All the companies

00:23:30.460 got panicked at the same time. But on top of that, the DEI professionals had to be black and female.

00:23:38.700 Am I right? The ones I see are fairly often black and female. So it looks to me like that was a 0.97

00:23:48.460 requirement of the hiring. I can't imagine that there's, do you think that there's any DEI group

00:23:54.780 anywhere in America that has a white man running it? DEI group? Because you would just laugh at them

00:24:01.740 if they did. Nobody would take that seriously. So you have to remove the category of all white men 0.91

00:24:09.420 from your pool of potential hires. How about white women? 1.00

00:24:14.780 White women? White women are actually doing kind of okay in today's world, aren't they? So if you want 1.00

00:24:21.420 a white woman, you're going to have to get yourself a lesbian. You're going to have to get a lesbian or 1.00

00:24:26.380 disabled or something. And of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Duh. Nothing wrong with 0.54

00:24:30.940 that. The point is it limits the pool. If you say we like white women, you know, they'll be okay, 1.00

00:24:37.420 but they got to be a lesbian. Well, now it's a very small pool. So I want to make, I want to make the 0.99

00:24:43.420 point as non-bigoted as possible. It's not about the fact that they're black or that they're women or 0.80

00:24:51.020 that they're lesbians. That makes them less capable. Nothing like that. Those characteristics 1.00

00:24:57.580 are not part of the conversation. The conversation is if you artificially limit the total number of

00:25:03.180 people you'll even consider, you can't possibly get a high quality set of people everywhere, right?

00:25:10.220 You could do it individually in some places, but you can't get it everywhere. So we created a system,

00:25:17.100 somewhat accidentally, that guaranteed the DEI groups within every company would be the least

00:25:24.300 capable employees. Is that unfair? Based entirely on everybody panicking to get the same small group

00:25:33.260 of people and strenuously avoiding big populations like white men and big populations like high tech

00:25:44.700 people who had other value, right? So I always say to you, design is destiny. This was a design

00:25:56.620 which any person who knew anything about anything could have looked at and said, wait a minute,

00:26:01.420 you're all doing at the same time and you're artificially limiting the type of person you could hire?

00:26:05.980 That design guarantees incompetence. Guarantees it. Now again, I'm not talking about any individual

00:26:15.260 person who got hired. I remind you that even if it doesn't sound like this sometime, I'm absolutely

00:26:22.220 against any kind of discrimination against an individual or anything, you know, any of the immutable

00:26:29.660 characteristics. So it's not about the individual. It's about just numbers. You restrict the pool,

00:26:37.260 you get fewer people. So we should be seeing the complete destruction of DEI by incompetence alone.

00:26:43.980 Now, when Tucker Carlson says, look at Jean-Pierre, I hate to say it, but she's obviously

00:26:54.860 the least capable person who's ever done that job. And it's obvious that although there's nothing wrong

00:27:03.100 with black people or women or lesbians, she was hired for those reasons, or some subset of those

00:27:09.980 reasons. And everybody knows she's doing a terrible job. Democrats know it, but they can't do anything

00:27:17.340 about it. Do you think that Biden can remove her? Not a chance. Not a chance. So he's created a

00:27:25.740 situation which, by design, he can't fix. By design. He put in somebody who you can't fire.

00:27:34.940 Now, have you ever seen that happen before? To have an employee, a high-level employee,

00:27:39.580 who no matter what they do, you can't fire them. Have you heard of Harvard? Harvard? It's some kind

00:27:47.740 of a college, I hear. And they have a president who has apparently plagiarized like crazy and did

00:27:58.860 exactly the same thing that another college president's already been asked to step down for.

00:28:04.060 And the entire country wants her to step down. Well, not the entire country, but a lot of it.

00:28:09.740 And she can't be fired. Can't be fired. All right. So that's where design is predictive.

00:28:24.700 I went to the mall yesterday to just experience the Christmas of it. I didn't really need to go

00:28:30.780 because I can buy anything I want online. But if you didn't see this, I posted it.

00:28:35.260 A picture of my mall. This is my local mall. This is a Christmas rush. It's 5 p.m. This is yesterday.

00:28:47.020 5 p.m. Christmas rush at my mall. There it is. There's not even a person.

00:28:54.060 This is the middle of the rush. You can't even see a human being in the mall. Now, this was a

00:29:02.940 misleading picture because normally there were at least a few people. There was no store that had

00:29:08.860 anybody waiting at a cash register. Like I walked by every store and I just looked in to see if

00:29:14.780 anybody was buying. There was no store with anybody at a cash register. Now, of course, people were

00:29:22.380 buying things, but there was no line. It's Christmas. There's no line. What are they going to do with all

00:29:29.980 these malls? I'm thinking high-end condos. Because honestly, I think it'd be kind of cool to live in

00:29:40.940 a converted mall. It'd be kind of cool. It would depend how they did it. But I could totally see

00:29:49.900 myself overpaying for a condo in a mall. I don't know why. I just like the space of it. You know,

00:29:58.460 they do such a good job of designing the space so that people want to be there just because how it

00:30:04.460 feels, just the openness and everything. I feel like you might like to live there. I don't know.

00:30:09.660 Put an indoor garden in the middle in the big open walkways. Just put indoor gardens.

00:30:14.700 Have the robots do the work. It'd be kind of cool. Yeah, you'd need more windows. They'd need

00:30:21.020 more windows for sure. Well, Robbie Starbuck had a little eye-opening situation. He used

00:30:29.740 Google's Bard, their AI, and it was asked a series of questions about him.

00:30:36.140 So he was asked a bunch of questions about himself, and AI went on to make horrible,

00:30:41.660 defaming lies about him. You know, I won't give any of the examples, but basically just said he was,

00:30:50.060 you know, a horrible racist who did terrible things. And here's the thing. Most of the claims

00:30:56.060 were actually made up. So Bard just lied like crazy about him. So he's a public figure, you know,

00:31:06.060 somebody that writes and posts and stuff. So he's a public figure, and Bard basically just absolutely

00:31:14.460 slimed him. I mean, I'm not even going to tell you what it said because I don't want it in your head.

00:31:18.620 Just really bad. So then he said, my God, is this something about AI or something about me?

00:31:26.220 So he ran AOC through the same set of questions.

00:31:29.100 Kind of likes her. AOC? Well, there's a spunky politician who's adding a lot to the world. 1.00

00:31:39.260 Yep. Now, how in the world are we ever going to use AI?

00:31:48.940 Now, it's starting to become clear that AI will be probably amazing in image generation,

00:31:57.020 right? Ability to create an image that doesn't exist in reality. I think it's going to be

00:32:03.100 beyond amazing in that realm. And I really didn't see that coming, actually. But in terms of being an

00:32:10.380 honest broker of information, I don't know if there's a chance. I don't know if that's solvable.

00:32:18.140 Because whatever makes AI AI is still mysterious. Even the people who built it don't know why it's doing

00:32:25.500 what it's doing. They can't even predict what it will do next. But I ask you the following question.

00:32:33.900 How could AI be anything but a racist if it's trained on public information?

00:32:42.380 How is it even possible? Here's what I think is probably happening.

00:32:46.460 Just a guess. I'm guessing that AI might have bad things to say about people in general,

00:32:55.500 or at least too many bad things, just because it's trying to be honest. And also because it would be

00:33:02.060 picking up the criticisms of people at the same time as reading about them. So in theory, AI should have a

00:33:08.780 little bit good, and probably a little bit bad about just about anybody, right? But imagine if you're

00:33:16.140 the creators of the AI, and you put Al Sharpton in there, and it says he's a racist. What are you going

00:33:22.700 to do? You're going to let that go? Nope. No, you're going to go in there and say, we've got to put a

00:33:31.820 little safeguard in here. If you're Al Sharpton, we're not going to call you bad names. I'm sure

00:33:37.820 they're not using that specific one, but just to get the idea. Then you put in AOC, and it comes out

00:33:44.780 and says, AOC is a communist or something, because critics say that. Now, what are they going to do?

00:33:51.420 Are they going to say, well, that's fine, because the critics do say that, and they show their work.

00:33:56.620 So I'm not going to make AI, I'm not going to give it its opinions. I'll just let it go into the wild

00:34:02.140 and come up with its own opinions. But if they said that AOC was a communist, do you think that

00:34:09.100 the creators of the AI would let that stand? Or would they put in a little line of code that says,

00:34:14.780 okay, if it's AOC, they'll call it a communist? And do you think that they might have an entire

00:34:20.220 department that's doing nothing but putting in rules and adjusting so that traditionally,

00:34:29.020 what do we call it, disadvantaged groups, so that traditionally disadvantaged groups do not become

00:34:37.100 further victimized by AI? Now, many of our problems in the world are based on good intentions.

00:34:44.860 Yeah. And by the way, do you think they would put the same safeguards in for

00:34:51.180 Robbie Starbuck? Do you think anybody bothered to do that?

00:34:56.540 Something like, if a notable white person is called a racist, you know, maybe you should back off on

00:35:05.500 that? Do you think anybody put that rule into AI? Of course not. Of course not. Do you think if you

00:35:14.380 ask questions about George Floyd, that the AI would give you a completely unbiased opinion about that?

00:35:22.940 Not a chance. It'd be too important. Right? So you're not going to get an honest answer from AI,

00:35:29.740 or just as bad. You won't know if it's honest. It's just as bad if you don't know. Right? Because

00:35:37.980 you think maybe they just programmed this in there. I don't know. Yeah, they're not helping out any of

00:35:46.780 the space cartoonists. I'm sure of that. If you Google me, it's not going to show you my point of view.

00:35:54.460 You know that, right? My point of view is very well expressed in the wild, because I was out there

00:36:01.260 expressing it. But if you were to Google AI about my own situation, it'll just tell you I was

00:36:07.500 provocative and many people said I'm a racist. Does that seem like capturing everything you need to

00:36:14.220 know about me? I feel like that's leaving out a few things, a few relevant things.

00:36:20.540 Right? But I will add to the AI is bullshit, at least when it comes to public figures. Did you know

00:36:30.780 that 100% of all articles about famous people are bullshit? I've been telling you this for a while,

00:36:37.100 but now we're going to add AI to the bullshitting. So you're not going to just have a writer lying

00:36:42.140 about somebody, because all public figure stories are fake. Now we'll have AI making up stories about

00:36:47.660 public figures. Speaking of that, Bill Ackman, who, as you know, activist investor, has been going

00:37:00.060 hard at Harvard. And so there was a big media hit piece on him. Surprise, right? Surprise. He's going

00:37:09.020 after Harvard, so now there's a big hit piece on him. And he had to write this extensive explanation

00:37:17.740 to show you how wrong the reporting was. And I helpfully, you know, boosted his message by saying,

00:37:26.300 remember, all stories about public figures are fake. All stories about public figures are fake. All of

00:37:35.980 them. As soon as you think some are real, you're lost. They don't even bother writing the article if it's

00:37:43.660 going to be real. They don't even bother writing it. There are only two kinds of articles that

00:37:50.300 journalists write. This person is awesome. And everything they've ever done is kind of awesome,

00:37:56.460 too. That's for their friends. Or this is a fucker. And this fucker is fucking everybody because he's a

00:38:03.580 fucker and a racist. Nobody wants to run a story that says, you know, good points and bad points.

00:38:10.060 Nobody does that. Right? So all stories are either overly good or overly bad, but nobody tries to

00:38:17.500 balance it because nobody would buy that story. You can't be a writer if you write that kind of

00:38:21.180 shit. You know, balance stuff. Nobody wants it. Yes. So also Christopher Ruffo, who is one of the

00:38:30.940 superstars in fighting against wokeness, wakes up to find three hit pieces against him.

00:38:37.100 And I guess the SPLCs after him, which I always remind you, you have to know the players. The news

00:38:45.340 doesn't make any sense unless you know who funds who, who's married to who, and who used to work in

00:38:52.540 the administration of who. That's the minimum you need to know. The SPLC is not exactly an independent

00:39:00.780 operator who's looking out for your interests. That they are, some would say, some who know a lot

00:39:08.620 would say, they're just an organization that's another kid job for the Democrats. Basically,

00:39:16.380 it's an organization to take out their political enemies. Now they do actually go after bad people,

00:39:22.620 just like the ADL. The ADL does go after bad people and does do legitimate things. But they're also

00:39:30.860 very much a democratic hammer. So it's not like they're trying to play it even. They are very

00:39:37.820 corrupt organizations, super corrupt, as corrupt as you could possibly be. But if you didn't know that,

00:39:44.780 you might have a different opinion of Christopher Rufo, when in fact, you should think he's a hero.

00:39:51.900 All right.

00:39:54.460 Obama has produced his first fiction film for Netflix called Leave the World Behind.

00:40:01.660 Would you be surprised to know that the critics love it? Critics love it. What do you think the

00:40:07.340 audience thought about it? Absolute racist bullshit. Yeah, it's anti-white.

00:40:13.420 Anti-white. It's literally anti-white. Say the critics. I'm not going to watch it. But

00:40:18.620 say the people who watched it, they say it's anti-white. And of course, the critics love that

00:40:24.300 anti-white stuff. But the audience, not so much. Somebody said it's funny that Obama

00:40:31.820 is the president who bombed the most. I don't think he's the one who bombed the most. Did Obama do a

00:40:36.700 lot of bombing? Or he made a bomb? Ooh, Obama just made a movie, The Bomb. He made a bomb.

00:40:46.380 Do not, never order somebody to make movies. What's his name? Obama.

00:40:52.780 Obama. We don't want him to make a bomb. Well, his name is Obama. But that's not as funny as what the

00:41:02.540 simulation has given us for the name of the leader of Hamas. Does anybody know the leader of Hamas?

00:41:08.860 First name is Yaya. Yay. Last name is Sinwar. Sin, S-I-N. And then war. Yay. Sin, war. 0.64

00:41:26.220 Now, come on. So Obama's making bombs in the form of movies, in this case. And the head of Hamas is 0.77

00:41:38.460 going, yay, sin, war. None of this could be real. Yeah. And what about a former president

00:41:48.380 president who is being taken to court on? What kind of charges is our former president being taken

00:41:57.740 to court on? What do you call those? Trumped up. Trumped up charges. And here's the thing.

00:42:04.620 They're actually, literally trumped up charges. They're clearly, obviously trumped up. Now,

00:42:13.820 that doesn't mean that they're not, you know, technically there's some violation that went on

00:42:17.980 there. I'm saying that they trumped it up to the level where it sounds important when it never was.

00:42:25.420 Trumped up charges.

00:42:29.980 Was Derek Chauvin a chauvinist? Well, I don't know about that. All right. Let's see what else is

00:42:37.260 happening here. Mike Benz is, I think Mike Benz is now a, a must follow. Let me add him to,

00:42:46.940 he's not even optional. If you want to pretend you understand the news, just follow Mike Benz,

00:42:54.060 B-E-N-Z, just like Mercedes Benz. And he's talking about the election integrity partnership.

00:43:00.060 Uh, he was, he was on a show, the podcast and apparently this thing called the election integrity

00:43:08.220 partnership was anything but, and they, they were involved in censoring millions of pro-Trump tweets

00:43:16.220 ahead of 2020. So they were basically a censoring organization for censoring one side more than the

00:43:23.180 other, of course. Um, it was a level, high level DC operatives in the transition integrity project.

00:43:31.500 So within the election integrity partnership, I think it's a separate or within it doesn't matter,

00:43:37.180 but there was a transition integrity project. They were plotting, according to Mike, a, a color

00:43:43.660 revolution if Trump won fair and square. Now they don't say it that way in their documents. They make it

00:43:50.940 sound like if he loses and keeps power, you know, what do we do about it? But I think somewhat

00:43:59.020 obviously it was also going to include if he won fair and square, they were going to do the same

00:44:05.580 thing, whether he won not fair and square or one fair and square, they were going to do a color

00:44:11.500 revolution. Now, if you don't know that term, it basically means that some outside entities will get

00:44:19.260 a bunch of people to march in the streets until the country becomes ungovernable and the leadership

00:44:26.220 has to change. That's sort of something you do for some other country. If you're trying to change the

00:44:32.140 leadership, you fund them from the outside, a bunch of seemingly grassroots protests, but they're not

00:44:38.060 grassroots at all. It's organized by some entity. So apparently the Democrats were planning

00:44:44.060 to overthrow the country through the same mechanisms that they used to overthrow other countries,

00:44:50.700 or at least America has used, and that it was actually documented and well understood that they

00:44:57.660 were going to run a coup in the United States if Trump won the fair and square. Now that's what Mike

00:45:05.260 Ben says. If you were to read their own words, they would couch it in. If he clings to power illegally,

00:45:14.060 they would do these things. But that's sort of a fig leaf. I think it's pretty obvious that they

00:45:19.580 would have done it no matter what. If he had been in power, they would have done it no matter what. So

00:45:26.220 while I would argue that probably there's nothing so illegal that a court could deal with it,

00:45:33.260 because they're pretty smart about how they message things. It does look exactly to me an opinion,

00:45:40.780 not a fact, but as an opinion, it does look exactly like they were planning an actual revolution,

00:45:47.020 like an honest-to-God insurrection. That's what it looks like to me. So I agree with Mike Benz's

00:45:53.260 interpretation. And now an episode of what I like to call backwards science. Backwards science. There's

00:46:04.300 a new study coming in that says that having kids makes you live longer. If you have one or two kids,

00:46:09.980 that's the ideal. You'll live longer than people have no kids, but also longer than people have multiple

00:46:16.300 kids. Does that mean that one way you could improve your health is by having kids?

00:46:26.060 Because that's what they suggest. Why don't you have some kids that will help your health? 0.98

00:46:29.820 I'm just going to put this out here. If I'm going to fuck a woman, do I pick one that looks unhealthy 1.00

00:46:42.860 or one that looks healthy? Try to try to guess my inner thoughts. I want to fuck that woman, 1.00

00:46:50.700 but she looks like she's out of her last breath. I think she looked at it in a week. Good to go. No, no.

00:47:03.980 Is it possible that men select women for breeding based on their health?

00:47:12.460 Of course, of course it is. Is it possible that women select men for breeding based 0.88

00:47:20.620 on their health? Of course it is. Of course it is. Would you expect that when people choose each

00:47:29.180 other wisely because of their good health with the intention of having one or two children,

00:47:34.780 which is a strong signal of somebody with control, a plan, and ability to stick to the plan?

00:47:43.980 Do you think if you looked at the people who can make a plan for moderation,

00:47:48.700 they can execute the plan properly, do you think that that tells you something about that group

00:47:55.260 as opposed to somebody who has 17 kids because they haven't figured out what's causing it?

00:47:59.980 Or somebody who has no children because nobody wants to wife them up or husband them up?

00:48:07.500 Doesn't this seem like backward science to you? To me, it looks like it's just saying that healthy

00:48:13.260 people are more likely to have one or two kids. And you're either going to be a nut job or maybe you're

00:48:19.020 insane if you have 17 kids. And if you have no kids, maybe it's because nobody wanted to have a kid with you.

00:48:26.700 That's at least part of it. Now, of course, a lot of it is people don't want to have children or can't afford it.

00:48:31.180 But still, of the people who can't afford to have children, I would bet you that of the people who

00:48:40.300 can't afford it, the healthiest looking ones end up more likely having them.

00:48:47.100 Don't you think that's likely? That even the ones who don't want them are still more likely to have them

00:48:53.260 just because they're so damn healthy that somebody is going to try to talk them into it.

00:48:57.420 Yeah. You're not going to try to talk an unhealthy person into having two kids.

00:49:02.700 But you might try hard to talk a healthy person into it because you say, I want more of that.

00:49:07.340 The reason I married you is because I like all of that. So I want to see more of that.

00:49:15.340 Backward science.

00:49:16.460 All right. The FCC is going after Musk, of course. Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC,

00:49:26.220 is calling it out. And basically, he's throwing the FCC under the bus, as he should,

00:49:31.020 because it looks like it is completely political. I'm going to take the speculation and it looks like

00:49:36.620 out of this one. This is so obvious. I don't have to talk about it in terms like,

00:49:41.580 oh, some critics say, or people are claiming. No, this one is so obvious. This is weaponized

00:49:49.980 government going after Elon Musk because he's not playing their game. That's all it is. And when

00:49:56.860 Brendan Carr calls it down publicly, I think we're done here. Right? I think we're done.

00:50:05.420 If you don't know who Brendan Carr is, look it up. But if he says this is exactly what it looks like,

00:50:10.780 it's exactly what it looks like. Right? That's the end of the story.

00:50:15.020 You don't get somebody like him calling this out in public unless it's way over the line. And it is.

00:50:23.500 So the Biden administration through the FCC revoked 885 million grant to Starlink. So this is

00:50:31.340 something that had already been approved, and they're yanking it back, and they're currently putting

00:50:37.420 in place some requirements that would make it impossible to get back. It's just purely political

00:50:44.300 fuckers. Michael Cohen, Trump's ex-disgraced attorney,

00:50:51.020 did something pretty funny. So he's trying to reverse, let's say, his supervised release. So he's a free

00:51:01.260 person on supervised release, but he wants to get rid of that early. And so he filed some kind of a legal

00:51:09.420 motion and referenced a number of case law. But three of the cases that he referenced do not exist,

00:51:20.460 at all. He didn't misinterpret them. They just don't exist. Three of them.

00:51:30.620 Anybody want to take a guess how that happened? Want to take a guess? Yeah, you got it. You got it. AI.

00:51:36.700 Yeah. I don't know for sure. But I'm going to guess that he asked AI for some case law.

00:51:45.100 Have I mentioned that AI cannot be depended on? You should not believe anything that AI tells you.

00:51:54.700 It just doesn't, it's just not built to tell you the truth. It will tell you some version of

00:52:00.380 imagination, lying, what you want to see.

00:52:06.700 All right. Account every day walking with Christ needs to seem to do a gigantic post with

00:52:15.820 repeating letters about Vivek and coffee and Scott Adams. Now, can I say that I've

00:52:23.100 fucking seen it the last 24 times you did it. You don't need to do it anymore. Nobody likes you.

00:52:29.660 Nobody likes you right now. Stop it. All right. I just have to do that.

00:52:38.700 So apparently the IDF is going to flood those tunnels, or maybe they've already started.

00:52:44.540 So the Gaza tunnels will be flooded. And here's my question. Now, the big issue here is

00:52:51.100 whether it will destroy the aquifers and make the water that is clean water underneath Gaza will be 0.55

00:52:59.660 polluted to seawater. It doesn't take much pollution to ruin the whole aquifer. So that's a

00:53:05.020 big risk. But as I've said before, I do not believe Israel has any plans of populating Gaza again,

00:53:15.100 certainly not with Hamas. And indeed, Benjamin Netanyahu said he wants to block any attempt to

00:53:22.380 put the Palestinian Authority in Gaza after the war, or Hamas, obviously. So obviously, 0.81

00:53:28.940 Israel is going to keep management of it. I imagine they might look for creative alternatives with 0.99

00:53:37.340 maybe some kind of coalition of friendly countries running it or something, maybe. But one thing you

00:53:42.540 won't see is the Palestinians running Gaza. Apparently, that's just off the table. But the question I ask

00:53:51.100 about flooding the tunnels is, what is the optimal way to flood them? I would say that the optimal way

00:53:59.420 to flood them is not completely, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you flood them up to maybe chest level? Because if

00:54:07.820 there are any hostages in there, you still give them another chance to get out. Because if you just

00:54:12.700 flood them to chest level and just leave it there, just leave it there. I would imagine it would ruin

00:54:19.980 all of their munitions. And they would be frightened to death that the level would keep going up. So you

00:54:26.620 should probably take it up to like chest level, and then just really slowly keep going. Because I think

00:54:32.860 they would come out of the tunnels. And I think that there would be a greater chance that a hostages

00:54:38.220 would come out than if you just filled it. So I'm not positive you should fill them. What do you think?

00:54:45.740 I mean, some people hate it when we speculate about military stuff. I know some of you hate it. But I'm

00:54:51.260 kind of curious about what would be the smarter, because it's a psychological question as much as a

00:54:56.300 military question, right? So the thing that fascinates me is the psychology, because I put myself in the

00:55:02.460 tunnel. And I tell myself, if you put it up to my chest, I would be surrendering right away. I would

00:55:10.300 surrender immediately if the water hit my chest, and I was in the tunnel. So we'll see what happens.

00:55:19.740 There's a new story. So Mario Nafal is reporting this. Algier is saying that

00:55:27.020 that the Israelis lined up babies and executed them. Okay, does anybody believe that the IDF lined up

00:55:37.180 babies in Gaza and then executed them? No. Here's my take. I'm going to say this firmly and clearly.

00:55:46.220 I don't believe any of the baby stories on either side.

00:55:49.420 Are you okay with that? Are you okay with me not believing any of the baby stories? I don't believe

00:55:57.100 any of them. Now, I'm not saying that babies weren't killed in the most horrible way. I'm sure they were.

00:56:02.940 But the specific stories? No, they don't look real to me. I didn't believe any of the Israel ones. I don't 0.97

00:56:10.780 believe the Palestinian version. It's just war. It's just war in the sense that, of course, 1.00

00:56:17.900 they're going to make the worst claims that they can. Now, if you think about the situation,

00:56:23.820 there wasn't much room to go anywhere to make it sound worse. What actually happened that we know

00:56:30.620 happened, because you can see it on the GoPros, what actually happened was so horrible.

00:56:36.780 But I don't know if it was shocking enough. So maybe a little extra was put on some of these stories.

00:56:42.780 Now, but you should see these in the context of war, where persuasion is part of the war.

00:56:52.300 So if either side lied through their teeth about this stuff, I don't think I'd hold it against them.

00:56:59.260 Would you agree with that? Once you say to yourself, this is a war, you know, you can oppose the war in

00:57:06.220 general. But if part of the war is propaganda, what are you going to do? I mean, were you expecting it

00:57:13.340 not to happen? Well, were you expecting that somebody would leave one of their best weapons

00:57:19.660 unused? No, no. Propaganda is one of their best weapons. So of course they're using it. Of course.

00:57:26.940 We just don't know which stories are totally made up and which are not. Now, this does not change in any

00:57:31.900 way the 10 out of 10 brutality of what October 7th was. You don't need the baby stories.

00:57:39.980 The baby stories are not necessary to understand what's happening, but might give you a little extra

00:57:47.260 energy. So it made sense that they led with those stories. All right. The Department of Education,

00:57:55.900 U.S. Department of Education, that is six schools, including Stanford and University of California,

00:58:05.740 UCLA and Rutgers, who is ongoing probe about discrimination and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

00:58:14.940 So seriously, the Department of Education did not think that there was sufficient discrimination in

00:58:23.580 education until it happened to Jews and Islamic students in the United States. Are you fucking

00:58:33.340 kidding me? You garbage pieces of shit. 40 fucking years of overt discrimination against white men,

00:58:41.500 and you're not even interested until it happens to the Jews and the Islamists. Fuck you. 0.55

00:58:46.700 Fuck you. Fuck you. Every one of you fucking pieces of shit. You racist pieces of shit. Now, that said,

00:58:57.180 I'm fully in favor of what we're doing. I'm fully in favor of them looking into it, and I'm fully in favor

00:59:02.300 of them rooting out anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. I oppose Islamophobia and obviously anti-Semitism.

00:59:10.700 But really, really, we have to wait until October 7th, 2023, before you fucking pay attention to what's

00:59:24.300 happening in the country. I'm so done with this. I love free speech. Have any of you had the feeling yet

00:59:32.860 of envying me that I can say this? Does anybody have that feeling yet?

00:59:41.100 I'm not trying to make you envy me, like that's no payoff for me. But I wonder if you watch me and

00:59:47.420 say, God, I wish I could do that. I just wonder. Because if I were watching, if I were in your place,

00:59:53.580 I would wish I could do it. Now, these are despicable people, despicable, racists.

00:59:59.340 The worst racists in the country, Department of Education. All right. So I'm totally in favor of

01:00:07.340 or Trump getting rid of the whole department. And this proves they're useless. So that's the

01:00:13.340 best argument I can see to get rid of them. Well, here's something that isn't a big surprise,

01:00:19.180 TikTok. The public opinion on banning TikTok has moved in favor of TikTok. There's a big move

01:00:29.020 in which Republicans especially are more favorable to keeping TikTok than getting rid of it.

01:00:35.580 Huh. Has anything happened recently that would cause that?

01:00:40.700 What has TikTok done recently that would make them more popular with Republicans?

01:00:49.180 Oh, how about a massive ad campaign on Fox News,

01:00:52.700 in which they show all the good things they're doing for wounded veterans?

01:00:59.580 Do you ever wonder if propaganda works?

01:01:04.060 Propaganda works.

01:01:05.580 Yeah. Now, in this time, has there been anything happening that would suggest

01:01:12.140 that TikTok should be kept? What are the things in the news you're seeing? Well, the first thing you're

01:01:18.620 seeing is that Fox News endorses TikTok by accepting their sponsorship. Let me say it again.

01:01:25.660 Fox News is endorsing TikTok by accepting their sponsorship.

01:01:29.420 And Fox News is the primary persuader of all things Republican.

01:01:37.900 So you can actually buy your way into the conversation. And they did.

01:01:42.380 Kind of impressive. I mean, this is sort of like when a serial killer does a really good job of killing people.

01:01:48.780 And I say, well, that's terrible. I wish that had not happened. But you got to admit,

01:01:54.220 that was a pretty good job of killing people. This is like that.

01:01:58.620 TikTok, you know, of course, I think should be banned. I think it's an evil force. I think it's destroying America.

01:02:05.100 But they're doing a really good job of it. Like, it's hard for me not to appreciate

01:02:11.580 how freaking good they are at doing this. That's a really well-run company. God,

01:02:15.900 how they ever got this done, I don't know. But I would also say that Vivek saying that he was going

01:02:23.260 to use it makes it easier for Republicans to say, well, it can't be that bad. And

01:02:30.300 Nikki Haley saying that her daughter uses it makes Republicans say, well, it can't be that bad.

01:02:38.940 You let your daughter use it. If Vivek's using it, it can't be that bad.

01:02:42.220 So that's what you got. Anyway, I guess we deserve what we get.

01:02:52.060 The Hill is reporting that the calls of Trump as dictator, in other words, the critics' main

01:02:59.900 theme of calling Trump a dictator, wait for it, backfiring. It's not working.

01:03:06.060 You know why? You know why it's not working? You know why the Hill says that calling Trump a dictator

01:03:13.420 is not working? Because Trump's making fun of it. Oh, yeah. Yep. Well, let me just say what they said

01:03:24.780 about it. He says, you're not going to be... This is Trump talking recently at another rally, I guess.

01:03:34.940 He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no, other than day one.

01:03:41.740 This is what he said originally, I think, to... Was this to Hannity or more recently?

01:03:47.340 Because he repeated it again. Oh, okay. So I think this was to Hannity at first.

01:03:54.780 So when he said, no, no, no, other than day one, we're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling.

01:04:00.060 After that, I'm not a dictator. And everybody applauded, right? So it worked. The first time he said it,

01:04:07.100 people just laughed and applauded. So apparently he's going with us. So he said at a rally recently,

01:04:14.540 Peter Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator.

01:04:18.380 I didn't say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day. Something said on Saturday.

01:04:24.620 You know I wanted to be a dictator because I want a wall, right? I want a wall and I want to drill,

01:04:29.980 drill, drill. Now, it's kind of perfect. Every time he says, yes, I want to be a dictator,

01:04:39.740 but just one day. He forces the media to cover the story because it's their narrative.

01:04:48.140 So if he does anything within their narrative, they have to cover it. It's their narrative.

01:04:53.900 So he enters their narrative. Have I ever taught you this? I've taught you this, right? This is a

01:05:00.540 hypnosis trick. If somebody has a narrative that's damaging to you, you don't stand on the outside

01:05:05.660 and throw stones at it. That never works. You enter it. You enter it. You wear it like a suit

01:05:12.860 and you make it your bitch. That's the only way you can beat a bad narrative. He's already entered 0.91

01:05:18.940 their arena. He made news on their theme. That means he's already hollowed them out. He's already

01:05:29.180 wearing them like a suit and he's already making them dance. He's already doing it. And every time

01:05:37.660 he jokes about this, he makes them remind the country that he wants to get a wall,

01:05:44.140 border security, and he wants to drill. He wants to bring your gas prices down.

01:05:49.100 So he turned the darkest, worst accusation you could ever get into, first of all, a joke,

01:06:00.140 literally a punchline. He turned it into a punchline and then he used it to attract attention

01:06:07.100 for two of the strongest parts of his candidacy that he would like people to know. Now that is genius.

01:06:14.940 I don't think that Trump will ever be fully acknowledged for the level of, this is just

01:06:23.980 pure genius. Honestly, it's just genius. And I'm trying to help him out by taking it to the next

01:06:31.740 level and calling him Thanos. Thanos was the super evil guy from Marvel movies. And he was trying to

01:06:41.660 destroy half of all the population of Earth, you know, just by getting some jewels and snapping his

01:06:47.180 fingers because it would make the world a better place if there were only half as many, I guess,

01:06:51.260 something like that. So I think it's funnier to say that they're afraid of Thanos.

01:06:57.420 But I came up with a new word for this whole Trump as a dictator and Trump treating it like a joke.

01:07:04.380 Nut bait. Nut bait. Nut bait. He's actually, he's baiting the nuts to come in and call them a dictator.

01:07:16.620 It's beautiful. It's not just effective. It's actually just beautiful.

01:07:23.020 And the nuttiest ones are already going in. Because you have to go with the nuts first,

01:07:28.860 because they're the ones willing to say things that sound ridiculous.

01:07:31.420 So the nuts are just rushing in on this dictator thing. Narrow ravine. This is the narrow ravine.

01:07:40.780 So he's already herded everybody into the, you're a dictator, narrow ravine,

01:07:45.020 turned it into a punchline, hollowed them out, used it as a suit, and used it to get attention for

01:07:50.860 his own policies. God, I miss him. Oh, my God. Well, the Houthis fired another missile,

01:08:01.740 this time at or near the USS Mason that shot it down. And I don't know, looks like they might

01:08:08.540 re-attack him or something. Why the hell are the Houthis firing at our Navy? Is that just because Iran 1.00

01:08:16.220 is putting pressure on us through proxies? Well, something's going to happen over there and it

01:08:24.380 won't be good for the Houthis. All right, ladies and gentlemen, this brings me to the conclusion of 0.97

01:08:30.140 what might be the best live stream in the history of live streams. What I'd like to say,

01:08:37.100 is there any story that I have missed while I've been yacking? Anything I missed?

01:08:46.380 Poor Scott, he needs to let it go. I love the people who go at me as a personality.

01:08:54.060 Because I used to think, oh, you evil person, why are you going after me personally,

01:08:59.100 instead of engaging with my arguments. But now that I'm older, I understand that as a surrender.

01:09:07.660 So I accept your surrender. If there's anybody else who would like to comment on my opinions

01:09:14.780 by saying there's something wrong with me as a person, I would like to accept your surrender as well.

01:09:20.540 Would anybody else like to surrender? And just acknowledge that everything I say is right.

01:09:26.460 Good. All right. Good. Nobody else. See, that's a reframe.

01:09:37.420 Oh, yeah. And I guess the Obama movie had scenes that would scare you about owning a Tesla.

01:09:43.420 What a piece of shit.

01:09:51.420 I certainly wonder if Obama is serious about any of this.

01:10:00.460 It does seem to me that his interest in making movies for Netflix has nothing to do with movies.

01:10:07.900 Would you say that's fair? That the Obamas going into movies is just a propaganda.

01:10:15.980 Do you think that Obama is like looking over scripts?

01:10:20.860 And, you know, hiring people and said, I doubt it.

01:10:24.860 No, I think Obama just said, go make me some woke movies and make sure that they have the following themes.

01:10:31.260 It's something bad about Elon Musk, something bad about Republican Christians, something, you know, something good about all black people, something bad about all white people, you know, that sort of thing. 0.69

01:10:43.260 Just put that in there.

01:10:45.740 Lots of trans. Get us lots of trans. 1.00

01:10:51.420 All right.

01:10:51.900 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to say bye to you wonderful people on YouTube.

01:10:59.260 Thanks for joining.

01:11:00.620 And I'll see you tomorrow for another best livestream you've ever seen in your life.

01:11:06.300 Bye for now.
