Transcript
00:00:00.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:13.140
coffee with scott adams and i'm pretty sure you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take
00:00:17.860
this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand here's all you need all you need is a
00:00:24.860
cup or a mug or a glass a tankard chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind
00:00:30.640
fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of
00:00:35.680
the dopamine for the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous
00:00:39.160
so you know i always complain about my microphone stand and my lights and i'm just going to put this
00:01:00.740
out here i i had to basically make my own microphone stand and i wondered why nobody makes one that works
00:01:09.140
the way you want it to which is it it just sits on your desk fully stable and that's it
00:01:16.440
instead have you ever seen how the professionals put a microphone like this in front of a person
00:01:23.960
like me they'll put you can see this on tucker carlson show they'll put a floor stand on the
00:01:32.460
floor next to you and then it'll be a tea kind of thing that connects to it that'll come across you
00:01:39.040
and then they'll be here so they have like a bar that comes across the person sometimes
00:01:44.100
so not a boom i'm talking about a boom would come from above i'm talking about something that comes
00:01:51.280
from the floor and all of these are crazy this is what you need right here and this doesn't exist i had
00:02:01.140
to i had to buy this microphone and the stand and then separately find connectors to connect them
00:02:06.280
because it doesn't come with the stand or the microphone so and then then what about my ring
00:02:11.320
lights you know what a ring light is it looks like this all right the light is good but every ring light
00:02:20.680
i've ever bought they put the control not on the device but on on the cable so here i've taken the cable
00:02:34.600
and wrapped it around the device so that the control is close enough to the device that i can find it
00:02:39.880
so i don't have to go fishing every time i turn it on now who makes this who in the world would put the
00:02:47.240
on button for this two feet away from the the unit on a cord who in and why are they all like that
00:02:55.960
there's not one person who said you know what i will put this on the cord but i've got an idea i'll put
00:03:02.120
the the on button sort of close to the unit that it turns on but still on the cord no they have to put the
00:03:10.840
turn on halfway down the cord does that make any sense at all no all of those microphones are too tall
00:03:19.320
so somebody said scott you idiot here's a whole bunch of microphones to do what you want nope every
00:03:24.440
one of them is this tall look for yourself you're not going to find one this tall this is the height
00:03:31.720
you need they just don't make it it's weird anyway that's my complaining let's talk about joe rogan
00:03:37.800
allegedly signed a 250 million spotify deal that allows him to put some of his stuff on the x profile
00:03:45.000
or x platform i don't know what any of that means does that mean that spotify will also benefit from
00:03:55.400
many revenue from x do they share it what exactly does that mean so we don't know what that means but
00:04:01.400
it's uh i'm glad that joe rogan is signing big multi-million dollar deals and what happened to his
00:04:07.560
hundred million dollar deal is that already over or did you renegotiate it well i have many questions
00:04:14.360
so we don't know what's going on there well people are raving about the apple vision pro
00:04:21.640
and i've learned quite a bit about it today number one i've seen zero people complain about
00:04:27.560
giving them a headache has anybody seen anybody complain about the vision pro pro giving them a
00:04:34.840
headache because that's the big problem with uh virtual reality i see a yes no it's the the number
00:04:45.240
of people i saw who were raving about it didn't say anything about headaches or dizziness or anything
00:04:50.040
got you dizzy all right yes with 30 minutes of use i gotta know i get a yes all right well that's
00:05:00.120
an open question it looks like there's a lot of yeses um but what i didn't know until today is that
00:05:07.160
it's not just vr it's also ar uh ar different than vr and it probably wouldn't give you the same headaches
00:05:16.120
ar so ar adds things to your existing environment so you could in theory drive a car but it would add
00:05:26.280
some things to your environment maybe some you know extra useful things but you can also watch a movie
00:05:31.800
while you're driving a car but don't do that that's definitely you know not uh recommended but the ar
00:05:40.440
stuff looks uh kind of mind-blowing a lot of people are blown away they can you can put a you can
00:05:45.800
basically put a big screen floating in front of you and just put a number of them around your
00:05:51.560
environment so that you've got a giant theater of sports and you've got the stats on another screen and
00:05:57.960
you know you can you can manipulate it all with your fingers and stuff very cool
00:06:03.560
um but the things we haven't uh worked through yet are the social part because there are people now
00:06:13.160
walking around with those glasses and doing stuff like this as they walk in public and why wouldn't
00:06:19.640
you because you're manipulating your personal environment but it looks kind of goody and maybe
00:06:24.760
a little nerdy but it's also apparently so well done the the people are saying that the technology is
00:06:31.640
mind-blowing so am i gonna have to try these am i gonna have to try these out i was like over five
00:06:41.560
thousand dollars out the door i don't know i feel like i'm gonna wait a little while so i'm not
00:06:48.200
going to be the first week but i'll probably get dragged into trying it because part of what i do since
00:06:54.600
i talk to people in public about what's going on i'm probably gonna have to try it out even though
00:07:01.880
i don't think it's my thing because i don't want to be in the in the unreal world that long
00:07:06.680
but oh the other thing i wonder is uh about glasses so i'm nearsighted which means that if
00:07:17.000
you put something you know as far away from me as the glasses i could see them perfectly so in theory
00:07:23.480
i wouldn't need my regular glasses right and i wouldn't need sunglasses either so i could go outside
00:07:29.960
without sunglasses or regular glasses uh so that's interesting you need glasses no i think you would
00:07:40.040
need glasses if you had uh if you were if you were farsighted if you're nearsighted i should be able to
00:07:47.800
see anything up close it should be fine without glasses you have to order special inserts
00:07:54.040
i might be wrong about that but it seems to me i wouldn't need them could it could be different
00:08:00.680
based on people yeah they make you get inserts interesting well i've tried that for uh snorkeling
00:08:10.760
yeah if you're if you have vision problems and you snorkel you can get snorkel lenses that are
00:08:17.640
approximately your prescription but they give you a headache and it's just not fun because they're
00:08:24.600
not exactly your prescription you know they're just in the general area so now all right so there's a
00:08:30.920
new machine i saw a post by massimo that coffee shops are using the cameras in the shop and ar in ai
00:08:41.000
to figure out which employees are making or are being uh productive so you can see if you know one
00:08:49.000
employee made 20 cups of coffee and the other one only did five etc now this is this would be the point
00:08:57.800
at which the humans definitely become the machines right so if the ai is watching the humans and determining
00:09:05.800
if the humans are working hard enough that is the humans being the machines it should be the humans
00:09:13.640
monitoring machines to make make sure machines are working properly but now we've flipped it now the ai is
00:09:20.840
going to monitor the human employees and judge them by their productivity that takes all of the humanity out of
00:09:28.440
working all of it because the human part of working is the part where you're not working you're chatting
00:09:35.720
with your co-workers you're messing around right that's all the human part so now that will be removed
00:09:42.040
you will literally just become a cog in the machine well as you probably heard there was this jobs report that
00:09:48.840
beat like crazy and added 350 000 jobs in january that beat what the experts imagined and so therefore
00:09:58.040
i guess that's proof that the economy is doing well huh economy's all fixed everything's good jobs report's
00:10:04.760
great right because all of our our data is accurate right well i don't know the details in this one but
00:10:15.400
some say that nearly all of these jobs are part-time jobs do you know what that means it means all these
00:10:24.440
people either got a job that didn't pay them enough to live if it's their only job and it's part-time or
00:10:33.720
they had to take a second job because they weren't making enough to live
00:10:37.160
this jobs report might be terrible news some some of it is government jobs but not much of it apparently
00:10:47.400
so how do you know the difference between good news and bad news is it good news that we created
00:10:53.160
all these jobs or is it the worst news you've ever heard because everybody needs two jobs to do what one
00:10:58.680
job used to do i actually don't know i legitimately don't know if this jobs report is is good news or
00:11:07.720
some of the worst news you've ever heard in your life i don't know but i i'll tell you what i do know
00:11:13.720
i do know that these numbers were going to be good whether they were good or not
00:11:21.400
i predicted it now i've told you the closest the closest the humans can get to knowing what's real
00:11:29.480
is how how well their worldview predicts so my worldview is that our economic data is largely fake
00:11:37.320
and that the government that controls it would make it look extra good in an election year
00:11:43.640
here it is now is it possible that it's actually good yes it is but i have a worldview that predicted
00:11:51.720
perfectly and guess what it'll work next next time too you can hindcast it you do whatever you want
00:11:59.240
it's going to work right the government who controls the numbers is going to tell you that the numbers look
00:12:05.240
good in an election year that's just guaranteed all right so let's see here are some things uh that we
00:12:19.160
now know that we didn't used to know uh i saw the rasmussen report talking about some i think it was an ap or
00:12:28.040
somebody was talking about how apparently it's it's known that lbg lbg the lbj uh cheated to win his senate
00:12:39.880
race has anybody heard that that the cheating was just a widespread understood thing at the time
00:12:48.120
and that everybody understood and they even knew who the boss was they knew how it happened they knew who
00:12:53.560
was in charge of it right that they knew exactly the whole story so i'm allergic to the truth i guess not
00:13:12.360
enough exposure to it but uh so okay so we know that i think we know that lbj's election was fake
00:13:26.360
how many of you were alive and old enough to you know remember that there was an election who was
00:13:31.560
running and stuff like that i don't recall any time that the news told me that lbj
00:13:39.240
got to prominence which allowed him to become vice president then president i didn't know he got to
00:13:44.520
prominence by a rigged election nobody ever told me that now how about uh um jfk
00:13:54.040
don't we now understand that it's common knowledge that he got elected by rigging something in i don't
00:14:00.040
know chicago or ohio or something that's i my understanding is that's accepted history
00:14:07.080
now that the mafia had some involvement and all that so these are two things that happened in my
00:14:14.040
lifetime i was alive when these two stories were just presented as the result of the democratic process
00:14:24.680
and now on the live when there are questions about the election and the same people you know same
00:14:31.400
jobs i guess they said uh that those prior elections were fair when now we know they weren't are saying
00:14:38.520
that biden's uh last election was fair it's how's it different are the elections uh more fair now because
00:14:50.360
of all of our controls is it because we put in good controls so now we don't have to worry about fake
00:14:56.680
elections i'm not aware of anything like that because best of my understanding we don't have
00:15:03.240
elections that can be even fully audited that's my understanding so why would it be that in the
00:15:10.440
past few years we found out not only did our elections used to be fixed it apparently it takes about
00:15:17.080
you know 30 years or so before you find out for sure or you admitted or it becomes part of the record
00:15:21.800
uh we know that the fda the cdc uh the who the basically everything with letters has been corrupt
00:15:33.240
for the last five years six years seven years we know that i mean the the you know the fbi the cia
00:15:41.080
all the intelligence people all corrupt everyone the media media completely corrupt
00:15:46.280
and even the elections confirmed it used to be corrupt and yet we see here like idiots
00:15:56.600
imagining that we have we live in a system where the election makes any difference
00:16:02.760
if our elections are not rigged it would be the biggest surprise in the world
00:16:09.080
now i have to say so i don't get banned because we don't live where we have free speech i'm not aware
00:16:14.280
of any specific proof or evidence that any of our recent elections have been rigged i have no evidence
00:16:21.000
of that but i didn't have any evidence during lbg lbj's time or jfk's time either i didn't have any
00:16:29.640
evidence then either to imagine that these elections are fair and have been recently is really bordering
00:16:38.920
on absurd at this point it would be the weirdest set of coincidences if the elections were fair when
00:16:45.720
everything else is not and they used to not be fair and not much changed how in the world are we
00:16:52.760
supposed to believe in the elections how in the world 2016 i think is exactly what it looked like
00:17:00.280
they didn't realize that trump would do as well as he did because the polling was maybe a little weak
00:17:05.080
it might be that that's all that happened it looks like it anyway um new york times is uh has a an
00:17:14.760
opinion piece saying that trump's running mate has got to be the fake um i don't read the new york times
00:17:20.680
because it's a paywall and i'm not going to pay for it but uh i will point out that i think all the
00:17:26.520
smart people can see it at this point does it feel to you like everybody who's really paying attention
00:17:33.000
they're all on the same page at this point it's sort of the bank's really sort of the obvious choice
00:17:40.680
anything short of that is going to be a little bit not even a little bit it's going to be very
00:17:44.680
disappointing if trump ended up picking some safe governor i never heard his name or her name or or
00:17:53.400
worse you know just as a diversity hire that doesn't have the power of a vague how are we going to be
00:18:00.840
happy with that how are you going to be happy with that now i get that carrie lake has a lot of a lot
00:18:07.560
going for her but she doesn't have a vague level you know power profile she's just really good at what
00:18:16.920
she does but you know we haven't seen her in politics or run a major business like the vacas
00:18:22.760
all right keep an eye on that um i guess new york cities wants to uh give a 53 million dollar program
00:18:34.360
to give uh prepaid credit cards to uh immigrants the ones who are recent and mary eric adams is
00:18:44.680
wondering why everybody keeps coming to new york when they're paying them cash to come to new york
00:18:50.760
new york so does it seem to you that democrats have a problem understanding systems as in
00:19:00.440
they understand goals all right our goal is to make sure these people don't starve
00:19:07.960
got it give them food but then the system can't possibly work because then everybody comes in for
00:19:14.760
some free food in unlimited numbers all right um so we're going to do more on that yes if you pay
00:19:25.880
people to do something there will be more of it not less now i i saw a post from jd haltigan phd
00:19:35.000
who's got a hypothesis or theory he's been working on that uh there are two kinds of peace people
00:19:43.400
basically empathizers and systemizers and that women tend to be empathizers and men tend to be
00:19:50.040
systemizers so in other words if you want somebody to read the room uh you're better off on average of
00:19:57.160
course everybody's different you know there's no universal guy or a universal gal people are all
00:20:02.840
different but in general uh women are going to be better at reading the room and emotions and
00:20:08.040
nurturing and stuff like that says jd uh and that men are more likely to think in engineering terms
00:20:16.760
about how the whole system works now again there are plenty of female engineers and there are plenty
00:20:24.520
of men who can read the room so we're not talking about every man or every woman i just say that for
00:20:29.160
the npcs who have to rush in and say but i know a person who's different from your general average
00:20:36.200
and it's important that i note that because i'm an npc so anyway get that out of the way
00:20:43.960
but here's another way to say the same thing if women are empathizers and men are systemizers
00:20:50.120
you almost automatically get a goal versus system model or a short term versus long term model short
00:21:02.360
term let's be nice to everybody because we're nice people and we like to be nice long term if your
00:21:09.960
system is just being nice to everybody you're all dead so the systemizers say hey don't break the
00:21:16.440
system or we're all dead in the long run and the empathizers say but this person is hungry today
00:21:22.280
right now why can't i just give them food i feel really bad for them right now so the right now is a
00:21:30.200
goal and the the system you know build it up for the long term make sure you have a long-term
00:21:37.240
integrity of a system that's more of a male-centric behavior but of course lots of exceptions
00:21:44.280
so bottom line is if women have more power in the country it should in theory destroy the country
00:21:52.120
let me say it again if women sort of in general and again not every person is like every woman and
00:22:00.520
not every man is like every man for the npcs but in theory uh everything we know about men and women
00:22:07.960
on average it should mean that as women gain more power in society it should destroy it in the long
00:22:15.080
run because they should uh favor short-term kindness uh and empathy over long-term systems
00:22:23.720
that are a little more cruel you know the free market it's pretty cruel capitalism pretty cruel
00:22:31.800
cruel uh the justice department pretty cruel the uh borders being closed pretty cruel but what do all
00:22:41.320
those cruel things have in common in the long run they work they are systems which we know work and
00:22:48.440
what do we know never works paying people to break the law paying people to break the law has never worked
00:22:55.800
anywhere anywhere in the history of humankind anywhere but capitalism has worked in a lot of places
00:23:02.840
you know it has its problems but it's worked in a lot of places
00:23:07.560
so and one of the things that is hard to say is that women are the problem and you know that's one of
00:23:14.360
the benefits of having free speech i can say women are the problem and then the smart people can say oh you
00:23:21.400
don't mean every single women obviously you're plenty of conservative women you know etc and of course i don't
00:23:27.560
mean every woman but i still say women having power in society in general should lead to the
00:23:36.920
destruction of that society that would be the most predictable outcome given biological differences
00:23:43.960
between the the genders the sexes let's say not genders all right um elon musk is weighing in heavily on
00:23:52.280
the uh interpretation of the biden immigration strategy and elon said today or yesterday maybe
00:23:59.400
the biden strategy is very simple number one get as many illegals in the country as possible number two
00:24:04.840
legalize them to create a permanent majority a one-party state how many of you say that's what's going on
00:24:13.320
that the real plan of the democrats is to get a whole bunch of democrats in the country and then
00:24:20.040
control it all with their one party uh i disagree i disagree i i think we often make the problem
00:24:31.240
on this and lots of other topics of looking at the outcome and assuming there's an intention
00:24:36.440
the outcome is exactly that you know if you were going to straight line it i would definitely say
00:24:44.280
the outcome of bringing in massive millions of people from other places has a very good chance of
00:24:51.480
increasingly democratic control and turning it into a one-party situation so we're there's no argument
00:24:58.040
about the predicted outcome are we on the same page on that that if we just keep doing what we're doing
00:25:05.880
it does look like it could lead to that now nothing is 100 percent predictable right the future is
00:25:11.720
is usually a guess but so far that makes sense that would be the outcome now here's where i differ
00:25:20.520
i think that this situation is a whole bunch of people with different incentives there might be
00:25:27.320
and probably is some people who are thinking exactly like this and have power people in power say you
00:25:34.920
know what just keep bringing them in and we'll turn these red red states blue and we're done we control
00:25:41.480
everything so i do think that that exists and when elon musk calls it out i think he's accurate
00:25:49.080
in that it exists and there are people who have that point of view but i think there might be so
00:25:54.200
many other points of view there's really a it's just the average of all people operating under their
00:26:01.720
self-interest as they see it for example there are certainly lots of regular democrats who support the
00:26:08.840
open borders who are not thinking of it in terms of voters would you agree with that statement that
00:26:15.720
there are plenty of people who just think it's a kindness philosophical thing and they might say
00:26:22.120
well you know this could get us more voters but that's not really that's not the idea it might happen
00:26:27.560
but that's not the point of it so i think there are those people who are literally just want
00:26:33.080
this kind of world i think there is also a sexual element to it uh i do think that women on average
00:26:40.360
are more likely to say yes to uh hordes of manly men coming in their direction
00:26:47.240
i i think that's actually part of the story it's not the whole part but it's part of it i think that
00:26:53.880
there might be something about the whole soros organization that we don't fully understand that's not
00:26:59.480
just about getting democrats you know he seems to have some bigger in bigger purpose that's not
00:27:06.040
entirely clear to me um we'll talk about him a little more later so my my interpretation is that
00:27:14.040
it might have that effect but that it's a lot of people operating under their own self-interest
00:27:19.960
that just sums up to this and it might be that the people who have the most power are thinking that
00:27:25.960
in terms of votes that could definitely be so that would that would that would be very close to uh
00:27:32.360
the the musk theory uh but i i don't think that joe biden has a um strategy i i don't sense that
00:27:41.000
he's in charge so i don't think it's his strategy so some it would be somebody's strategy unknown
00:27:47.720
so who yeah and then you look at foreign influence is tick tock friendly to immigrants
00:27:55.960
i don't use tick tock if i go on tick tock is it going to be a whole bunch of people saying
00:28:02.280
stop the immigration or is going to be a whole bunch of people saying we must be kind to the
00:28:07.720
immigrants if if tick tock is telling us to be kind to immigrants and do a lot more of it
00:28:14.680
then china's part of the issue and i don't think that democrats are necessarily coordinating with china
00:28:21.480
about tick tock they could be just you know influencing in the same direction so it could be
00:28:28.280
you got your democrats who just think it's nice to be nice to immigrants could have your political
00:28:34.760
people saying you know the main thing i like about it is getting all these extra voters could be
00:28:40.760
probably and it could be that china is saying uh this is very disruptive to america so keep sending
00:28:47.240
over those you know keep keep it going and then soros who knows what what's up with that situation
00:28:54.760
so that's my take it's true but it's not the whole story that there is a voter element to it
00:29:04.200
here's what i would do if i were republicans you already see that black americans are revolting
00:29:11.160
against the immigration because they see it directly affecting their paychecks they think
00:29:18.840
and their facilities so you know there are stories of uh you know gyms that are turned over to uh the
00:29:26.520
immigrants that used to be someplace that the the inner city people could go at all hours of the night
00:29:32.600
um so if i were republicans here's the play i would make i would say uh you might win with these
00:29:45.880
immigrant voters coming in but we're going to take your black voters as a trade and here's how you do
00:29:51.640
it you can tell black voters that the reparations got spent on immigrants now that's not exactly how money
00:29:59.400
works because money is what we call fungible so you know if i have a dollar in my pocket i can kind of
00:30:05.480
spend it on anything it's not like it was it's not like it was dedicated to one thing and then when i
00:30:10.440
changed my mind that one thing i can't have it's just money can be spent on whatever but it is real ish
00:30:19.000
that if you don't have extra money you're not going to be considering reparations
00:30:23.240
is that fair if you don't have extra money if you can't afford it then reparations are off the table
00:30:30.840
and at the moment the cost of the immigrants is so high that i think any reparations conversation
00:30:37.160
would have no chance so i would just if i were republican i'd say look they promised you reparations
00:30:43.320
and then they gave it to the immigrants what i wouldn't say is if you vote republican you'll guess
00:30:49.400
them reparations i would say the democrats already spent your money that they they hurt your paycheck
00:30:55.880
with inflation they caused you to get two jobs they shut down your rec center and filled it with
00:31:01.080
immigrants and they took your reparations money and they're paying it directly right now to the
00:31:07.240
migrants how would you like to be a black american and know that the migrant who's standing next to you
00:31:13.000
is getting a thousand dollars a month from the government not even a citizen
00:31:20.120
that would hurt yeah if you were looking around and you saw your community was suffering
00:31:25.720
and you saw that money that could have gone your way in your opinion you know but money's fungible
00:31:32.440
it's gonna hurt and you see people expressing very much that opinion so if you want to be persuasive
00:31:39.000
you find something that people are already thinking and feeling and you boost it and i think that the
00:31:44.680
black americans are already thinking and feeling that they just got pushed down uh one more rung so
00:31:51.400
imagine you're black america and and and you feel that there's some kind of a hierarchy in the world
00:31:56.600
and that you're at the bottom and that's you know that's affecting your whole community now suddenly the
00:32:02.200
migrants come in and it would look to you like they they somehow they got a higher priority
00:32:11.960
how's that feel well probably exactly like you think so i think republicans can say um we can't
00:32:20.360
stop the immigrants coming in right now we don't have the power but we can sure make you know that this
00:32:26.760
isn't good for you black americans you need to get on the side that's going to stop this
00:32:30.600
and and we heard some you know anecdotally some black americans do seem to be switching over to
00:32:36.360
republicans and trump in particular because they say we had more money under trump
00:32:43.000
that might be the whole story we had more money under trump if that's something that black americans
00:32:53.560
um alex jones says he has a scoop here that uh there there are two stories that seem to be
00:33:02.200
converging this would be alex jones's take uh one story is that we've got all this facial recognition
00:33:09.320
technology that uh isn't turned on because you know it wouldn't be right and proper to just be
00:33:16.840
facially recognizing and tracking all americans however if you needed it to track the immigrant
00:33:25.000
population it would just sort of always be on wouldn't it because if your cameras are tracking facial
00:33:31.400
recognition and your purpose is to find out what the immigrants are doing once they're in the country
00:33:38.120
how are you not watching the rest of the citizens because they have faces too
00:33:41.960
so alex jones is suggesting that there's a uh the possibility of a fake white supremacist attack
00:33:53.400
that would give the cover for the facial recognition to be activated by the nsa which
00:33:59.160
would give them an excuse to monitor you know all citizens forever that's the sort of thing that you
00:34:06.120
you would have called crazy a few years ago i don't know if any of that's true i'm just telling
00:34:12.600
you that alex jones is saying it's true and given that his track record has been weirdly better than
00:34:18.840
average uh it caught my attention because it's it's a pretty specific claim and he says his sources are
00:34:26.680
impeccable so we'll see all right uh biden did this uh tearful kind of uh speech yesterday i guess in
00:34:35.240
which he said we must not be enemies meaning republicans and democrats at a moment of deep
00:34:41.240
division president lincoln said we are not enemies but friends we must not be enemies i've long believed we
00:34:49.640
have to look at each other even in our most challenging times not as enemies but as fellow americans
00:34:56.280
you buying any of that uh scripture tells us you know we gotta love our fellow people okay
00:35:03.960
now i had to respond to that and uh i think a million and a half people have already viewed it which
00:35:11.480
suggests that maybe people agreed with my comment so i posted in response to that i said uh president
00:35:17.880
dotard doesn't remember declaring war on one-third of the country smearing them as white supremacists
00:35:24.920
discriminating against them in employment and jailing j6ers while law-faring their preferred candidate
00:35:32.440
you are me this is me talking to biden you are indeed my enemy mr president we are not in the
00:35:38.200
politics frame anymore you're jailing people for protesting that's not politics no and i said npcs are
00:35:46.440
invited to demonstrate how brainwashed they are by insisting it was an insurrection
00:35:50.360
and of course the very first comment was somebody insisting it was an insurrection
00:36:02.760
this isn't politics when you're putting one side in jail
00:36:06.840
if we were just talking about which policies were good and it got out of hand and we were insulting
00:36:12.440
each other then i would say very good mr president very good you should be calling for unity because
00:36:18.840
we should be able to talk about these things without fighting and making it physical but you made it
00:36:24.280
physical you made it physical you physically put protesters in jail these january sixers and you're
00:36:31.000
trying to put their preferred candidate in jail in jail in jail no that's not politics
00:36:45.640
am i wrong i've never said that before about a president but this president in my opinion has
00:36:53.480
targeted me and people who look like me and act like me and i think he said it directly i think he said
00:37:00.360
it many times i think he's unambiguous he's very clear and he is my enemy
00:37:06.760
he's my enemy i'm not going to do anything violent or illegal obviously
00:37:12.440
but yes and my thinking about him is as an enemy not a political opponent
00:37:19.400
i believe he's destroying the entire country i think that he's going to cause hardship on a scale we've
00:37:25.080
never seen before unless he gets stopped fast enough and which i think will happen actually
00:37:30.600
um but no no you don't get to put people in jail and then ask for them to you know talk nice to you
00:37:41.480
i mean if they'd done a crime i'd be on your side you know real crime that wasn't just a political
00:37:47.160
bullshit thing and yes for the npcs i do know that some of the protesters
00:37:53.160
broke the law we're not talking about that all right
00:38:01.240
so if you want to know how bad things are reuters was
00:38:05.400
reporting that there's a massive um recall of tesla automobiles oh my god
00:38:11.400
a massive recall of a tesla automobiles oh man that would certainly change your mind about buying
00:38:18.040
one wouldn't it certainly changes your mind huh do you know what it was the massive recall
00:38:26.920
there was an automatic over-the-air software update that changed the look of some icons
00:38:34.280
the owner of the car needed to do nothing and there was no risk and no expense and it all happened
00:38:44.200
automatically and had no no impact on anything whatsoever and reuters told you that their cars
00:38:51.480
were falling apart essentially so do you have any questions about who reuters is do you have any
00:39:00.280
questions about who the ap is no it's all pretty clear at this point
00:39:09.320
well hallmark is remaking uh the book that i think was also a movie sense and sensibility
00:39:16.280
which took place back in 1700s in england but they're casting it all with black actors so it'll be all
00:39:24.920
black remake of a historical situation which originally featured all white people now let me say as clearly
00:39:34.600
as possible i don't mind remakes in which they change the race of the actors for example when the
00:39:41.800
wizard of oz was remade by you know michael jackson and some others as the wiz that was a good watch
00:39:49.480
and the thing about the wizard of oz is they were all imaginary made up people so why did they why
00:39:55.240
did they have to be all white if they're imaginary and made up people they they could be all black
00:40:01.240
so if you if you take something that's imaginary and made up you know whether it's a you know uh
00:40:08.200
the chocolate factory willie wonka and the chocolate factory or star wars or star trek if you want to
00:40:13.960
make them all black that seems like just a good creative choice if you've got an audience for it
00:40:20.280
you got good actors yeah why not i don't care like i didn't if i didn't care that they're all white
00:40:26.920
i shouldn't care that they're all black or all asian and all anything else as long as it's well made
00:40:32.200
right as long as the art yeah hamilton hamilton's a good example hamilton was of course based on
00:40:38.680
historical stuff but i don't i don't require a play to have all the right ethnicities you know
00:40:45.880
based on the historical accuracy of it that doesn't bother me so i thought hamilton was just sort of
00:40:51.160
interesting that they changed up the ethnicities but they weren't trying to change history per se
00:40:57.480
but i do think that when you do a historical thing there's a little more pressure to get the
00:41:02.360
uh original ethnicities right for historical purposes but uh here's my question how long
00:41:08.920
will it be before the babylon bead creates a movie that's a remake of roots but they use all irish actors
00:41:18.200
that's going to happen isn't it wouldn't you watch that
00:41:25.320
i might actually watch that movie because it would be hilarious
00:41:28.360
they just do all the same parts but they just make them all irish guys come on that's pretty funny
00:41:36.520
right all right i don't take any of this too seriously uh if if hollywood makes movies and
00:41:43.080
people go to them they're good movies if they make movies and people don't go to them they're bad movies
00:41:48.680
everything else is details so i'm not going to get too excited about how they cast a movie
00:41:54.040
all right um you know about the uh loneliness epidemic of course um but at least the lonely
00:42:05.480
people in the past could go online and have at least fake friends in the digital world not nearly as good
00:42:11.480
as real friends but at least the social networks were built around friends but i think that's changed
00:42:19.080
and as ai content becomes the main content you watch that's not really your friend so there is some
00:42:27.000
thinking uh i think bindu ready was talking about this that the old social networks were focused on
00:42:34.040
friends but that's dead now and now your tick tock feed is going to be mostly ai created content
00:42:41.000
so your loneliness epidemic could get a lot worse because you won't even have the same
00:42:46.440
online friend experience could be totally artificial on top of that if you had your vision pro
00:42:54.200
apple ar vr glasses are you going to spend a lot more time around things that aren't even real
00:43:01.960
completely outside the real world in a sense and is that going to increase your loneliness because
00:43:07.880
the alternatives are better you know uh i've famously said um it's not unusual for me
00:43:16.680
in my current stage of life well actually when i was in my 20s it was the same thing
00:43:21.480
um it's not unusual for me to have three days a week where i don't have any human contact
00:43:27.480
none at all you know i i'm not going to count ordering a coffee at starbucks and that's not really
00:43:34.040
human contact and i'm not i don't mean if people are walking by the sidewalk but an actual conversation
00:43:39.880
so i can go two or three days without having a conversation in person that's very common for
00:43:45.800
me actually in my 20s i did it all the time every weekend mostly just about every weekend
00:43:52.280
um however i find it's much easier now than it was in my 20s because today take today
00:44:01.560
so i don't know if i'll have any human contact today don't know i mean there's it's hard to say
00:44:11.240
but all day long i'm going to be doing things i like because i have so many options i'm going to
00:44:18.280
exercise i like that i'll probably take a walk if the weather's good i really like that i'll probably
00:44:24.040
spend some time in my man cave doing god knows what i really like that i'll probably do some work that i
00:44:30.120
wanted to get done that i kind of enjoy uh i might i might do some things around the house that i want
00:44:35.640
to get done kind of enjoy it so the loneliness thing is an epidemic it is important but it is
00:44:43.960
worsened by basically everything that's happening almost everything is worsening the loneliness problem
00:44:50.280
so keep an eye on that um here's an update on the trump law fair stuff you've probably already heard
00:44:55.880
that the uh the case that involved trump being an insurrectionist allegedly is uh delayed until the
00:45:04.680
supreme court or the upper courts can figure out whether a president could be charged with something
00:45:10.280
like that or if they have immunity but what's interesting about it it's not just delayed until
00:45:16.360
another date is indefinitely delayed which suggests that the judges don't think it's necessarily going to
00:45:23.080
happen if at all um or at least before the election so i'm feeling like trump might be in the clear
00:45:34.680
just because of the timing and the delay you know because if he gets in office it's not going to matter
00:45:41.240
he'll still be president and i think the other charges are weaker am i right aren't all the other
00:45:49.320
charges kind of weakish so does it does it look like trump's going to beat the law fair after all this
00:45:57.240
it does to me if i had to put a bet on it i bet he beats every one of them uh they'll be you know that
00:46:04.760
somehow they'll be pled down to something like a misdemeanor that nobody cares about or there'll be the
00:46:10.680
um the non-criminal ones where he pays some money but that's not a criminal problem it's going to be all
00:46:17.960
these not quite a criminal conviction go to jail situations in a variety of ways from delays to
00:46:27.080
you know surprises yeah there was there's always an october surprise might not be in october but you
00:46:33.160
can be sure that will be coming all right cbs news had john bolton on and john bolton said this
00:46:40.760
now here's the surprising part this happened in 2024 just recently see if this sounds like 2024
00:46:51.640
or if he's stuck in time you know somewhere back in the past john bolton quote i think trump will cause
00:46:58.440
significant damage in the second term damage that in some cases will be irreparable
00:47:04.920
i have to say that's scarier i think trump will cause significant damage in the second term damage
00:47:14.120
that in some cases will be irreparable are you scared yet does john bolton not know that trump was
00:47:27.800
already president for four years how'd that go do do we have a bunch of irreparable harm from the first
00:47:35.720
four years because i'm pretty sure people are telling us there was going to be a lot of irreparable harm
00:47:41.560
existential danger if trump is president why are we arguing about things we've already shown not to be a thing
00:47:49.720
now i will grant you that any president could cause a problem that's irreparable
00:47:57.560
it looks like it looks like biden's causing a bunch of them at this very moment you know immigration being
00:48:08.760
the only thing i can figure is that this wasn't really john bolton talking
00:48:12.840
i believe there might be enough soup in his mustache at this point that has formed its own
00:48:18.920
entity possibly a civilization i believe the mustache soup having evolved into more of a creature now has
00:48:27.000
enough control of his mouth so i can move it just from the mustache alone like he got there and he probably
00:48:33.560
thought he had other things to say and then the mustache takes over his mouth oh trump is a existential
00:48:39.800
danger oh i've never said this before this is a brand new thing i'm saying so it's news oh i've never
00:48:47.000
said that trump might be reckless or cause some chaos before so you better pay attention to me because my
00:48:57.880
so that happened all right let's talk about excess deaths which you believe are caused by
00:49:03.320
uh the covid shots how many of you believe that the excess deaths are
00:49:10.040
high and they were caused by the covid shots how many believe that to be true most of you all right
00:49:16.600
now i think there's a good chance that's true so can you please hear this first part before i get
00:49:22.840
to the second part there's a good chance that's true good good chance that's true but here's what
00:49:29.400
what you should consider everything else we were told based on data turned out to be untrue
00:49:42.200
everything else we've ever been told based on data we know to be untrue but did you decide that this
00:49:52.200
would be the one time the data was accurate and that what it told you was definitely exactly what
00:49:57.960
it looked like why just just and i want to make a distinction that's very very important to the point
00:50:07.880
i'm not telling you you're wrong i'm not telling you you're wrong because i don't know i'm not telling
00:50:14.680
you that the shots are not the reason for it i'm not telling you that i'm saying that if you believe
00:50:20.440
the data was right and yet all the other data for literally everything important has been wrong which
00:50:27.480
we know not guessing we know that all the data we saw in the pandemic everything we learned about
00:50:33.960
nutrition over decades was wrong uh probably everything we heard about the jobs report is fake
00:50:41.160
data we don't have data about you know how many deaths there are in gaza because it's a war zone
00:50:48.280
you you tell me where you think there's good data about anything is our inflation number accurate is our
00:50:54.120
what what what is accurate there's no such thing as accurate data and if you haven't learned that yet
00:51:02.840
you're still a little bit behind now let me say it again because i apparently i'll just have to say
00:51:09.000
this a hundred times i'm not saying you're wrong it might be exactly the case that these these shots
00:51:15.240
are causing excess mortality i think there's a good chance of it but if you think it's true because
00:51:22.280
the data says it and here's the important part the data from lots of different sources say it
00:51:29.400
then you haven't been paying attention do you know what the sources do you know what people from
00:51:34.520
lots of different countries and lots of different sources say they say that you're all going to burn up
00:51:39.640
from climate change lots of different countries lots of different experts how could they all be telling
00:51:45.880
you something that's not true how about the pandemic lots of different experts they told you those masks
00:51:53.400
were going to work all over the country different experts different places how could they all be wrong
00:52:03.080
right and that and that's just one thing ivermectin can you know you just keep on going
00:52:08.120
so so do you think that this time because it's a whole bunch of different sources are telling you
00:52:14.920
that uh almost everybody's saying that excess mortality is up it's not just up in the u.s it's up
00:52:21.880
everywhere and worse there's a high correlation i'm i saw this morning between the excess death rates
00:52:29.640
and the rate of vaccination uh oh and i'm talking about the covet shots which you don't call vaccinations
00:52:37.880
now that's pretty damning right suppose that were true suppose that data was true and again that would
00:52:45.240
be gigantically unlikely because every other data is untrue but if it were true that there was a perfect
00:52:52.360
correlation between the excess death rate and how likely you are to be vaccinated that would prove
00:53:00.200
wouldn't you feel that that would be all you needed to know that it was the
00:53:04.120
the shots how many would say that that's that would be enough confirmation
00:53:11.320
oh you know i'm tricking you damn you all for being with me too long
00:53:18.440
you you can sense the trick coming can't you yeah there should be a correlation between how
00:53:24.760
much vaccinations you got and excess death you would expect the people getting most vaccinated
00:53:31.240
are the ones who have the most concern about dying early from anything so probably it doesn't mean
00:53:38.600
anything that data and if and if you didn't see that right off the bat then you need to up your game a
00:53:46.760
little bit it could be exactly what it looks like that the more shots you get the more likely you're
00:53:52.920
going to die from the shots it could be i i don't have any data that i trust to support that idea but
00:54:00.600
definitely that's definitely in the short list of possibilities but if you think it's because it's
00:54:07.640
correlated with how vaccinated you are that's probably a data error or a analysis error
00:54:16.280
so how many of you are saying to yourself uh oh i do agree that i disagreed with every data
00:54:22.680
set and every expert for the last five years and i was correct to do that but somehow i decided to
00:54:30.200
believe the excess data numbers which who do you think comes up with them who do you think comes up
00:54:36.920
with excess death or excess not the excess data excess mortality who do you think comes up with those
00:54:44.920
who would have the information what group of people have the information about excess deaths
00:54:52.680
insurance companies insurance companies and would an insurance company make more money or less money
00:55:05.640
they would make less money if they kept their rates the same and there were excess deaths correct if
00:55:11.720
they kept their rates the same but more people were dying that's bad for the insurance company
00:55:16.920
because because they have to set the rates based on their best estimate of how many died but suppose
00:55:22.200
they wanted to raise their rates what would be a good way to do that a good way to do that would
00:55:28.760
be to tell the world that there's a really high excess mortality problem and we just can't figure it out
00:55:34.200
we don't know where it is ah gosh you know we're the we're the insurance company you think we'd be
00:55:41.480
able to narrow this down to let's say was it the shots or was it something else because they need to know
00:55:48.200
what it is it's not enough to know that they are dying at a higher rate you need to know why because
00:55:54.520
that allows you to set your rates you know based on different demographics oh this group is doing
00:56:00.360
something differently than this group you know they're smoking but this group is not smoking so
00:56:05.640
we'll set our rates differently so i suggest to you that one way everybody in the world is simultaneously
00:56:13.400
could be telling you that the excess mortality rate is high is that every insurance company in
00:56:18.120
the world wants to tell you it's high because that's how they raise their rates
00:56:24.520
follow the money do you know why do you know what would it would take for me to trust the excess
00:56:30.920
mortality data it would take for it not to be in the best interest of the insurance companies in
00:56:37.720
every country in every city everywhere on earth that's what it would take for me to believe the
00:56:44.040
numbers yeah so are they right they might be but i'm not going to do what many of you are doing which
00:56:53.880
is to say all the other data in the world is wrong but the stuff that i wanted to believe is right
00:57:00.120
just ask yourself if you did that did you did you doubt all the data that we now know was wrong
00:57:06.120
and then you accept it boom right off the right off the bat as soon as you saw some stuff that agreed
00:57:12.280
with you you're like oh yeah that's the good data there that excess mortality number is pretty good
00:57:19.240
even though even though the insurance companies everywhere have a financial interest in lying to you about it
00:57:27.320
yeah so i made it more messy so the lesson here that you should take from this is not that the
00:57:38.040
excess mortality is not true that i don't know so don't take away from this that i think
00:57:45.400
the shots were safe don't take away from this that i think there is no excess mortality
00:57:50.360
don't take from this that i don't think those two things might be connected
00:57:53.320
i'm just telling you if you fell for this immediately because it agreed with what you
00:57:59.640
thought was true that was not rational thinking it wasn't you might be right but not because of rational thinking
00:58:11.000
all right um i heard there's a whole uh war starting that we don't know much about but i can tell
00:58:18.360
you that all the news from the war zone is fake do you know how i know that because all the news from
00:58:25.320
all war zones is fake yeah all the news from non-war zones is fake i just covered this so do you think
00:58:33.720
that the war news from the war zone is going to be real of course not there isn't the slightest chance of
00:58:39.720
that not even the slightest chance that the war news is real but but we'll talk about it anyway so here
00:58:48.120
let me give you an example so the i guess the u.s government said that they hit 85 targets
00:58:54.920
is that real so our government says that they hit 85 targets real news or fake news
00:59:03.560
well i've got questions how many different locations was it was it four locations let's say
00:59:12.520
bases or camps that each had 20 buildings on it you know 20 structures 20 targets doesn't that feel
00:59:20.440
completely different than if there were 85 individual iranian proxy sites which was it was it four
00:59:30.760
or was it 85 why don't we know that why don't you know that
00:59:43.240
yeah they fired 85 times or 125 times was another number i saw why why is that so confusing what what if
00:59:52.280
they wanted you know if they wanted you to know the real story wouldn't it be easy to tell it we
00:59:57.880
attacked four locations and we you know with 85 weapons or whatever it was and then you'd have a real good
01:00:07.080
sense of it oh there are four places we have to worry about but if it's 85 that's a totally different
01:00:13.800
story if it's 85 we've already lost because if they could put 85 proxy places in that area how in the
01:00:22.120
world are we going to stop them let me ask you this how many could answer the question as the u.s is
01:00:29.880
entering this war is in it how many can answer the question of why the u.s has places in the middle east
01:00:37.400
in syria and iraq that even exist in the first place how many of you know the answer to the question
01:00:46.840
i think the official answer is that we're uh doing it to stop you know terrorist for terrorist groups
01:00:55.320
from forming you know so we're looking to you know mow the grass as they say of the terrorists
01:01:01.880
i doubt it you know that might be one reason but it's probably you know a whole bunch of other
01:01:08.760
complicated things yeah it might be protecting some oil interests god knows but whatever the government's
01:01:14.760
telling you is probably a lie all right so we don't know what the u.s did we don't know if their
01:01:23.240
attacks were made a difference we don't know how many sites um but the real question is even if
01:01:32.120
everything went just the way they planned would it make any difference and the answer is no does
01:01:37.240
anybody think that these attacks will make any difference anybody how could they no i i think all
01:01:45.800
we're doing is showing that if we get attacked we'll attack back which has some value do you do
01:01:52.440
you remember remember i told you that the menu method could be persuasive but not the we'll do
01:02:00.680
something that you don't know in the future that that just never works because the only way you're
01:02:05.880
going to stop what iran is doing is if the proxies run out of human people i guess that's the same humans
01:02:16.280
so if the proxies still have people and they got plenty of people and they got plenty more if we kill them
01:02:22.280
so we're not going to get we're not going to get rid of their people if they have assets you know
01:02:27.080
weapons we'd have to destroy their weapons but we'll never be able to destroy their weapons because
01:02:32.680
they'll just get new ones so if we can't get rid of the people and we can't get rid of the weapons
01:02:40.280
what difference does our bombing them make they just reconstitute which is exactly what they'll do
01:02:46.520
so why do we do it you don't think our government is fully aware that it won't make any difference
01:02:53.720
it's for it's for domestic consumption this is purely for american domestic consumption as far
01:03:00.920
as i could tell because it's not going to make any difference strategically or geopolitically
01:03:06.360
now there are other possibilities it could be a cover for something else we're doing
01:03:11.720
it could be that we're doing an attack on a bunch of valid targets but really it might be a distraction
01:03:17.720
from a real attack that might make a difference you know maybe some some of our dark arts you know
01:03:25.480
special forces are preparing to do something or already did something that could actually make a
01:03:30.520
difference but maybe you'll never hear about it yeah maybe there's something cyber going on we don't
01:03:36.600
know about but so some people like the lindsey graham and a few others saw some general saying that if we
01:03:44.440
did not attack inside iran against actual iranian military types and and targets that iran would
01:03:57.000
well i disagree let's compare this to my technique which president trump apparently used on the taliban
01:04:05.560
do you remember the famous meeting i don't know if i have the details right but it's something like
01:04:09.560
this when the president met with the taliban he said some version of we plan to get out of
01:04:15.720
afghanistan if you kill even one american now that we said we're leaving if you kill even one of us
01:04:22.280
here's a photo of your house with your children in it this thing is going to blow up
01:04:29.320
this specific thing your house and then the you know the the heads of the isis said uh
01:04:37.240
that's very specific and that's my house i don't have to wonder what will happen that's my house my
01:04:45.640
children will die and trump just told me that in person that's the menu approach now when that when
01:04:53.560
that uh isis or taliban guy i guess more taliban than isis was it isis or taliban it was the taliban
01:05:01.080
i'm confusing um when the taliban guy left do you think he was thinking about a general risk or was
01:05:08.200
he thinking about his family blowing up he was thinking about his family blowing up so what trump
01:05:13.960
did was he created a champion for not fighting so the guy who he showed his house he became a champion
01:05:22.200
for avoiding fighting a champion on the inside in the taliban so trump turns people into champions
01:05:30.520
of not fighting internally who is the champion of not fighting right now in iran nobody nobody right
01:05:42.200
because there's nobody who thinks it's going to get them everybody thinks yeah people will die
01:05:47.160
but probably not me probably probably not my family so um the biden approach of we're going to do a
01:05:56.840
generic thing to your proxies in my opinion has no persuasion value at all unless we could magically
01:06:05.800
degrade them so much they literally can't fire but then it just buys us some time and they reconstitute
01:06:11.080
can't work but if you said to iran here iran here's a picture of the ayatollah's house
01:06:19.960
here's a picture of his girlfriend's house here's a picture of his other girlfriend's house
01:06:26.920
here's a picture of his other girlfriend's house here's a picture of his children
01:06:31.800
walking to work here's a picture of his daughter-in-law going to work in this building
01:06:38.360
Every one of these things is going to disappear
01:06:46.300
than we'll do bad things to you if you do bad things.
01:06:51.180
Because you turn anybody who sees that specific threat
01:06:56.360
okay, maybe this isn't in our geopolitical interest
01:07:00.400
because my house is going to blow up with my kids in it.
01:07:13.300
But I think maybe I did a better job this time.
01:07:19.400
and you only do that with very specific threats.
01:07:53.560
if his form of persuasion is the powerful kind.
01:08:06.340
Well, actually, there are three things you want to degrade
