Searchlight Pictures presents The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.
00:00:04.980
From the director of Meet the Parents and the writer of Poor Things,
00:00:08.460
comes The Roses, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman,
00:00:12.460
Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney.
00:00:17.820
A hilarious new comedy filled with drama, excitement, and a little bit of hatred,
00:00:22.540
proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses.
00:00:30.000
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:42.520
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, because that's what it is.
00:00:46.200
And if you'd like to take your experience up another notch,
00:00:49.160
and it's almost impossible to believe that there could be a higher level
00:00:52.440
than what you're experiencing right now, it can happen.
00:00:56.120
And all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:09.780
The dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:12.160
It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
00:01:24.420
Well, if you are listening to this recorded today, later, on Spotify,
00:01:33.540
I got demonetized recently, but I can't tell if it has something to do with me.
00:01:39.700
Or it has something to do with a change in their user interface that I can't figure out.
00:01:53.260
You know, there was a change in how they do the advertisements.
00:01:58.100
So if it disappears on Spotify, you can watch it commercial-free on X or Locals if you're a subscriber.
00:02:06.320
Or on YouTube if you're paying for YouTube, you don't see commercials.
00:02:16.740
Well, the most important story of the day while we're waiting for people to stream on in here,
00:02:23.740
But in even bigger news, a Southern California man,
00:02:28.760
he was staying at the Venetian Palazzo Tower in Las Vegas,
00:02:33.380
and he reports being stung by a scorpion on his testicles while sleeping at the hotel.
00:02:43.680
Well, that's how I feel every time I read the news.
00:02:47.800
I feel like I've been stung on my testicles by a scorpion.
00:02:56.220
By the time I'm done, probably at least 80% of you will feel like you've been stung by a scorpion on your testicles.
00:03:08.620
Congratulations to the anonymous account X on X called End Wokeness.
00:03:17.860
Now, probably every single day I mention one of their posts.
00:03:30.540
So for reasons that I don't completely understand,
00:03:33.980
End Wokeness seems to get all the wokeness stories that you haven't heard anywhere else yet.
00:03:40.580
And I think yesterday alone had three successes.
00:03:48.200
Apparently, the End Wokeness account got enough attention
00:03:51.200
that if anyone anywhere sees some stuff that looks like it would make sense for that account,
00:03:58.560
And then the End Wokeness figures out which ones to post.
00:04:05.060
I often repost them as to a number of other large accounts.
00:04:09.660
So although the End Wokeness account is several hundred thousand, I think,
00:04:14.760
but I send it to another million of my followers,
00:04:20.060
So probably this one account is probably pinging 50 million people a day.
00:04:27.480
Just a gigantic number through the multiplier effect.
00:04:33.120
But here's two things that happened because of that clever business model.
00:04:39.360
So you heard the story about the Veterans Administration.
00:04:43.080
They banned the use of the iconic World War II photo where there's a sailor coming in from the war,
00:04:50.340
the war's over, and grabs a young lady and bends her over and kisses her passionately,
00:04:57.600
And so the idea was that it was not a consented, there was no consent.
00:05:02.000
So the Veterans Administration said, well, we've got to get rid of this iconic photo.
00:05:15.080
And the next thing you know, when apparently the boss of whoever made the decision
00:05:22.920
In other words, somebody made a decision that their boss didn't know about,
00:05:28.420
and if not for End Wokeness, probably wouldn't have found out.
00:05:32.200
Now, it's not the biggest important story in the world, but it got reversed.
00:05:39.020
Then you probably heard the story about the Spanish Doritos marketing people.
00:05:44.560
They started using a transgender influencer who apparently had said some alarming things
00:05:51.340
about doing thuggish things to a minor at some point in the past.
00:05:56.840
And End Wokeness brought that up, and Doritos changed their policy.
00:06:06.020
And there was one other I forgot to write down.
00:06:09.140
There was a third thing that all in one day, the End Wokeness account got reversed.
00:06:18.360
It was literally just because it got attention.
00:06:21.660
And the people who were in charge said, ah, I don't think we...
00:06:28.920
They got rid of some racist thing they were doing, right?
00:06:34.920
But three victories because a business model is very clever and well-executed with a lot
00:06:44.580
Facebook, Michael Schellenberger says in his newest reports, there's secret emails that
00:06:51.640
show that Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook fact-checking program was compromised by biased activists,
00:07:02.020
Now, is that the kind of story that is new but not new?
00:07:09.560
Was there anybody watching this who was not fully aware that the fact-checking organizations
00:07:19.840
But so the fun thing about this election year is that...
00:07:27.020
The 50 people who signed the laptop letter, the Hunter laptop letter hoax, that turned
00:07:38.540
out to be like the Rosetta Stone for figuring out everything.
00:07:47.040
I used to be wondering, like, I wonder if Obama's really in charge.
00:08:00.520
So just look at the fact that nobody who signed the laptop letter got any blowback.
00:08:10.500
So whoever has that kind of power, where they can do a hoax that blatantly right in front
00:08:21.560
A few people asked some questions on the news, but nothing.
00:08:27.720
Now, once you see the people who did that, you say to yourself, huh, if it looks like they
00:08:34.600
were in charge with that laptop thing, have those same people done anything else that we
00:08:42.900
The entire Russia collusion hoax was Brennan and Clapper.
00:08:52.080
Same people who seem associated with some other shadowy exit and tell people.
00:08:59.440
So I would say that we now understand the entire network of the fake NGOs, the Soros funding
00:09:09.700
We see that the entire news organization is fake.
00:09:16.520
You know, when Trump started saying the news was fake, did you have the same impression I
00:09:22.400
did, which is, well, I mean, not completely fake.
00:09:36.300
Just insanely, ridiculously not even trying to be news.
00:09:40.380
Now, I'm not sure I was totally aware of that before.
00:09:48.940
So we all understand that the fact checkers are fake.
00:09:52.900
Do you need any proof that the fact checkers were always fake?
00:10:09.380
When was the last time he even heard about how many times he got fact checked?
00:10:12.540
Do you remember they used to keep a running total of all of the tens of thousands of fact
00:10:19.780
How many times has Biden said the fine people hoax?
00:10:24.240
If you were to fact check all of Biden's hoaxes, it would be pretty impressive.
00:10:31.060
And the only difference would be he doesn't talk as much in public because he's not capable.
00:10:36.400
If he had more energy, his lying would be way more impressive.
00:10:44.800
Anyway, so would you agree that we can now see the entire, you can see the entire machinery
00:10:50.540
of the Democrat slash intelligence people who run the country?
00:10:57.020
And we have the ability now to call the plays before they happen.
00:11:02.220
Does anybody think there won't be a new hoax over the summer?
00:11:08.220
We'll talk more about how transparent the entire thing is.
00:11:14.500
And when you watch MSNBC, you can do it just for the entertainment.
00:11:20.540
All right, Nikki Haley is out after Super Tuesday because Trump had a good day.
00:11:27.700
I don't know what happened in Vermont, but Vermont picked Nikki Haley.
00:11:34.240
So David Axelrod, you know, one of the prime reframers and shapers and message people of
00:11:40.820
the Democrat machine, he was talking about that, and he was kind of shocked that Republicans
00:11:51.020
would pick this, pick a candidate who was involved in the insurrection.
00:11:56.720
So I think the Democrats are pretty desperate to lock into their message that they could be Trump.
00:12:05.720
And it looks like they're going to go with the insurrection hoax.
00:12:10.920
So they, I mean, Biden did win one election, allegedly.
00:12:14.800
He won one election with a hoax, the fine people hoax.
00:12:25.800
How many of you heard the news that the winner of the American Samoa Democratic Caucus...
00:12:31.800
I don't think I could find American Samoa on a map.
00:12:56.900
But anyway, somebody named Jason Palmer won the Democratic Caucus there.
00:13:02.480
Now, I guess that's some venture capitalist money guy.
00:13:07.700
You never heard of him because he got, you know, dozens of votes in a few states.
00:13:17.460
I'd love to know if it's just a practical joke.
00:13:24.960
And it makes me think, I kind of want to see if I can win American Samoa next time.
00:13:35.620
I mean, I don't know if it's a nice place to visit.
00:13:37.900
But if it is, I think I could spend two weeks there and take the whole place.
00:13:59.440
Well, as you know, studies say that liberal women have the most mental illness.
00:14:06.460
Liberal women have the highest rate of mental illness.
00:14:09.500
I wonder what their favorite sources of news are.
00:14:18.960
And also they have the highest level of mental illness.
00:14:28.960
Now, I say this not just as a joke, even though it's funny.
00:14:32.960
After the Super Tuesday win of Trump, how many of you said, oh, I got to see what MSNBC is doing?
00:14:49.760
Watching Joy Reid meltdown and racial mad now, it was just crazy.
00:15:01.240
There were at least three women whose bodies contorted into, like, witch-like creatures as they talked.
00:15:10.680
So, like, here would be a normal person talking.
00:15:13.740
Well, we're very unhappy because we wish somebody else had done better in the primary.
00:15:43.540
But mostly, you could watch the show with the sound turned off and just watch them be in full cognitive stress.
00:15:52.980
So whatever world they've created for themselves and then inserted themselves into that hellscape, it must be pretty bad in there.
00:16:02.600
Like, their bodies are actually tortured by whatever's going on in their heads.
00:16:08.920
Now, I'd also like to make a wardrobe suggestion for Rachel Maddow.
00:16:22.180
But I don't know if you noticed, she was wearing a plunging neckline, and she also has a long, very nice neck.
00:16:32.300
But the head to neck to chest created a disturbing amount of nudity for a new show.
00:16:48.460
I'm just trying to watch you talk about the news, but I see way too much of your body.
00:16:57.600
Now, this has nothing to do with their gender preference or anything like that, in case you're wondering.
00:17:11.200
And by the way, to be fair, if any man had been reading the news showing that much of the man's body,
00:17:21.280
So it has nothing to do with her gender or preference or anything like that.
00:17:27.420
Anyway, Trump heir, Joy Reid, was the funniest one.
00:17:37.000
She went on a complete meltdown about how Trump only had one crisis to deal with in his presidency.
00:17:51.280
He only had one thing to deal with, and he bollocksed it up.
00:17:55.480
Now, is that the way you handle the biggest pandemic of our lifetime?
00:18:05.680
He only had one thing to do, and he got it wrong?
00:18:13.680
I'm seeing a very funny meme on the locals' comments because they can put photos in their comments.
00:18:26.080
I wish I could share it with you, but it's cruel.
00:18:36.160
Imagine treating COVID like it was a normal thing, and then they try to deal with discussing the economy, which none of them understand, and trying to make it sound like the pandemic was somehow not an important part of the Trump economic story.
00:18:59.980
I mean, the whole thing is just crazy and stupid, and it just gets worse and worse, and don't know how to compare anything.
00:19:10.560
So, you know, there are pundits who are saying that the economy is great.
00:19:18.600
So the economy is great, and why don't people understand that, you know, jobs are good, the stock market's up, inflation rate has come down.
00:19:28.300
You know, we all understand that the pandemic was part of that as well.
00:19:33.000
And it basically looks like everything's good, and the MSNBC people were trying to understand that.
00:19:39.940
Like, why aren't people understanding that if they're paying more, see, we don't understand that.
00:19:47.020
People are paying way more for food and way more for gas, but why don't they understand that the numbers that we're giving them show that it's not happening?
00:19:59.860
And they act confused that people don't understand that when they're paying more for gas and food, that they should be more influenced not by what they're actually paying, and how they know it's way more than it used to be, but that there's a statistic showing that if you pick the right starting point, and you look at rate instead of amount, technically, it's really good.
00:20:31.260
But here are the good things that Biden has done.
00:20:34.460
I asked this question before, so I got an answer.
00:20:36.840
Here are the good things that he did that were listed as positives, things that really made a difference.
00:20:43.220
There's the infrastructure bill, which, I don't know.
00:20:48.580
Are any of you making a little more money because of the infrastructure bill?
00:20:56.900
I've been waiting for the indication that that's making a difference.
00:21:02.420
I'm not aware of anything that anybody's building anywhere, but okay.
00:21:12.460
Then, apparently, Joe Biden negotiated lower pharmaceutical costs.
00:21:24.500
Have any of you seen lower pharmaceutical costs?
00:21:32.320
What exactly is this story about lower pharmaceutical costs?
00:21:36.480
I have no idea that any of that happened or that I'm paying less.
00:21:42.460
Is there something that will happen in the future?
00:21:55.680
Then, apparently, Biden tried to lower credit card fees.
00:22:07.900
But then they didn't mention, but they could have.
00:22:19.600
Even his biggest supporters weren't willing to get on the bandwagon with,
00:22:25.940
They're staying away from that, which is hilarious because it's like his main theme at the moment.
00:22:32.320
It's the only thing he can talk about and remember is what he was going to say.
00:22:40.060
So the MSNBC take is that the economy is basically good everywhere,
00:22:46.140
but one of the pundits did say, you know, there's some inflation and there's some debt.
00:22:57.960
If your take on the economy is that everything looks good except the impossible-to-ever-pay-back debt,
00:23:09.720
Now, that's a confession that you should never talk about the economy in public.
00:23:15.700
Do you know what it sounds like if you say all the numbers are good, the GDP is good, the jobs are good?
00:23:22.100
But the only problem is $35 trillion that we can't pay back.
00:23:41.700
Lahaina in Maui is great, except for no buildings.
00:23:50.140
It's a really good vacation and destination if you like ashes.
00:24:12.560
The things that look good are because we borrowed too much money.
00:24:18.020
And then we're doing better than all the other countries, which apparently seems to be true if you ignore $35 trillion in debt.
00:24:28.300
So if you don't know that all of the other numbers are looking good because you did this one catastrophic thing that will kill us all, I don't know if it will, but it looks bad.
00:24:40.660
I suspect we'll figure a way out, but I don't know if that will be.
00:24:45.540
Something about digital money, something about inflating it away.
00:24:49.540
Now, I did hear one opinion that I've been thinking about for a while, a way to understand the national debt.
00:24:56.240
You all know the national debt is not like a mortgage, right?
00:25:01.640
And somebody pointed out, and I've been just mulling this because I don't think it's completely right, but it might be partly right.
00:25:12.320
And it's that the debt pays for itself as soon as it's issued.
00:25:19.500
Meaning that all we did is reduce the amount, the value of the money that was already out there by $35 trillion.
00:25:30.280
That the debt is paid for upon issuance by making all of our other money worth less.
00:25:38.000
So it's the value that was in all the other money that was already out there that is sort of taken up and absorbed by the debt.
00:25:48.040
I don't know if that quite handles the whole situation, but it's different than mortgage, right?
00:25:58.540
But if they inflate everything else away, you know, they can inflate it away.
00:26:06.020
They can make it go away if they want in a very bad way.
00:26:08.680
It's essentially just a tax that looks like inflation.
00:26:15.400
Is it my imagination, or has the Trump campaign been flawless?
00:26:25.420
I think the Trump campaign has been maybe one of the best I've ever seen.
00:26:31.080
And it's just so quietly perfect that you don't notice how good it is.
00:26:37.060
Have you noticed that his discipline, his message discipline, is unprecedented?
00:26:45.660
Trump's message discipline, which was really the thing, the one thing that would guarantee a victory, just message discipline, he hasn't.
00:26:55.780
It could be that he just competes to win, and he knows he has to do it, so he's just doing it.
00:27:04.640
All indications are that he's getting better advice.
00:27:10.640
But lots of other, you know, I'm sure plenty of other good advice.
00:27:15.880
But you have to give him credit for taking good advice.
00:27:24.660
The boss still has to decide whose advice to take, has to decide who's going to be giving the advice.
00:27:31.520
So the boss always gets the credit, even if the advice is good.
00:27:37.820
To me, it looks like he's handling 91 indictments at the same time he's running one of the best political campaigns I've ever seen.
00:27:44.900
And it reminded me of Ginger Rogers, the dance partner for Fred Astaire, who famously said, you know, Fred Astaire got all the attention for being the great dancer.
00:27:56.800
But his dance partner, who danced with him, had to dance backwards and in high heels.
00:28:05.700
She did the same moves, but backwards and high heels.
00:28:10.640
He's doing the best campaign at the same time he's handling all the lawfare, 91 indictments.
00:28:16.880
So somehow he's made the indictments just part of his campaign.
00:28:23.320
And it's weird because I think the campaign is paying his legal bills.
00:28:33.320
I don't know if that's completely true or even legal.
00:28:43.500
Because he's made the legal battle a key part of the messaging.
00:28:49.580
And yeah, I think the campaign should absolutely pay for it.
00:28:59.500
Do any of you write Trump fan fiction in your head?
00:29:02.940
Am I the only one where I imagine something that only he could do that there's no other politician that you'd even consider?
00:29:12.300
But I have a fan fiction in my head that he's never going to do, but he's the only person who ever could.
00:30:04.420
The only people there are campaign staff and citizens who have their own phones.
00:30:12.220
He just gets out of the car and walks into a black barbershop.
00:30:18.980
Everything stops because everybody recognizes them.
00:30:30.540
And his own campaign, they'd have their phones out too.
00:30:43.780
Like, let's say there are three people in front of him.
00:30:49.460
And then he gets in a conversation, because you know a conversation would start.
00:30:56.540
And people are talking to him and asking him questions.
00:31:05.520
And even if they were totally anti-Trump, if he walks in your door, in your barbershop, and says to you, I'm not allowing the press in here, but you're welcome to use your own phones if you want to take some photos.
00:31:25.540
Suddenly, Trump made every single person who just happened to be in the barbershop by chance, he turned every one of them into a social media star.
00:31:39.400
Everyone who posts that video online is going to get 10 million views.
00:31:42.780
Every one of them, every person there, is going to get 10 million views on their social media for free.
00:32:06.680
Imagine, if you will, watching 20 different home video cameras of Trump sitting in the chair, answering questions,
00:32:19.820
like in his usual funny, charismatic way, while they shaved his head.
00:32:35.340
Then he walks out looking like Daddy Warbucks, and he wins the black vote.
00:32:42.300
Now, you're going to say to me, Scott, how racist that you would dismiss the entire black voting bloc like they're going to vote for him because of sneakers,
00:32:54.220
or they're going to vote for him because he has some legal risk,
00:32:58.400
or they're going to vote for him just because he got a haircut at a black barbershop.
00:33:21.460
I mean, obviously, it would be a blatant political prank.
00:33:25.000
But if you actually sat there and got your head shaved,
00:33:27.200
that is a show of humility, it's a show of respect, it's a show of trust.
00:33:36.100
You know, even with the Secret Service there, there's some trust.
00:33:39.580
Because unless they're doing a full body cavity search of everybody who's there,
00:33:46.640
Even with the people with guns standing nearby, there's still some trust involved.
00:33:55.480
You know, his hair is iconic, and I'm sure he'll keep it.
00:33:59.460
But am I right that it's just great fan fiction?
00:34:10.160
For some reason, he's the only politician I've ever written fan fiction for in my head,
00:34:16.440
Anyway, China's gross domestic product may have been overstated,
00:34:31.620
You know, I'm starting to think we can't trust their data.
00:34:43.020
a little whiff of maybe their economic data is not as credible as I used to think it was.
00:34:50.480
Well, it's a good thing that in America, we don't have that problem.
00:34:55.900
We don't have the problem of just making up data and trying to sell it to the world, huh?
00:35:03.340
Paul Krugman is a famous economist, is showing a, there's a great drop in violent crime.
00:35:12.760
And he makes a good point, he says, on X platform.
00:35:16.740
He says, Trump seems to be doubling down on the, quote, scary brown people are terrorizing our cities.
00:35:25.280
He says, it's 2023 numbers and the third quarter.
00:35:30.440
And it said that the violent crime is way down.
00:35:33.600
So the third quarter of 2023, violent crime, way down.
00:36:11.560
I think the violent crime went down because there are fewer police officers.
00:36:27.560
Unless they're actually preventing other people from doing crimes.
00:36:40.480
Is it that the fentanyl killed so many people that there's nobody left to kill anybody?
00:36:47.540
Is it that they, maybe, maybe our crime data is no better than China's GDP data?
00:36:59.040
Is it possible that, now, remember, you have to make a distinction between violent crime and the stuff that they're not prosecuting.
00:37:08.940
I don't think they're not prosecuting, or at least arresting, violent crime.
00:37:18.360
The people who are just not getting arrested are the thieves, for the most part.
00:37:26.520
And, by the way, if 50 people rob a Target store so badly that Target closes all their stores, one crime.
00:37:37.540
So, some of it's probably in the data, but that's not what's happening for the violent crime.
00:37:44.780
As far as I know, if you report the crime, it shows up as a statistic.
00:37:48.880
It doesn't have to be solved, and it doesn't matter what happens to the perpetrator, whether they go free or not.
00:37:56.600
So, isn't this one of the biggest mysteries in the country?
00:38:01.440
Can you give me any reason that there would be a sudden drop in violent crime?
00:38:05.620
It's not just because the pandemic's over, is it?
00:38:14.560
So, Biden did his dementia anger thing when asked about the polls, and he said,
00:38:22.960
my poll numbers, the last five polls, you guys don't report.
00:38:46.480
Is it possible he doesn't know he's behind in the polls?
00:39:08.540
I'm sure they're not dismissing violent crimes.
00:39:19.640
They might be lowering what it is, but I don't think they're dismissing.
00:39:22.800
All right, so I'm seeing people saying that, yes, they're dismissing violent crime.
00:39:30.820
Not just downrating it or letting people out on bail, but dismissing.
00:39:39.720
I'm seeing a stream of people who believe that that's happening.
00:39:51.420
I'm not going to fight you if you've got a source.
00:39:53.840
But I think you're probably conflating the violent crime and the non-violent crime.
00:40:02.240
But don't send me more data about non-violent crime and say that you made your case, because
00:40:10.020
So there's some difference of opinion on whether the Soros DAs are letting violent crimes be
00:40:19.560
I say that's not really happening in the real world.
00:40:21.980
But many of you, a lot of people, are saying, oh, absolutely, that's happening.
00:40:32.900
Isn't this so much better than if I just said that and then you watch the show and you're
00:40:41.820
But just note there's a disagreement on that fact.
00:40:47.760
But tonight, apparently, Biden will be doing his hate of the union message.
00:40:55.840
I call it the hate of the union because now the bad guys have signaled what they're going
00:41:03.620
Chaos, extreme, darkness, existential Trump threat, and dictator.
00:41:15.000
Chaos, extreme, darkness, existential threat, Trump dictator, et cetera.
00:41:21.820
Or, as Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, said that they do nothing Republicans like their
00:41:56.660
So I say it's time to turn on the mockery canons and embrace all of these ridiculous brainwashing
00:42:06.560
And just do the Dorothy thing every time you see them.
00:42:13.720
Hey, is Trump under your bed with his chaos and extremism?
00:42:32.380
Let's some of the extremism that the Democrats are talking about is this is pretty extreme.
00:42:40.420
There are Republicans who think you shouldn't kill your baby if it's nine months in the womb
00:42:45.880
They think you shouldn't transition your kid to another gender.
00:42:51.580
Maybe they think you shouldn't be spending so much in Ukraine.
00:42:54.480
It depends which Republicans you're talking to.
00:42:57.320
But it really sort of opens the question of what extreme means.
00:43:02.080
Would extreme be opening the border to 10 million strangers?
00:43:09.280
So anyway, we can see their whole play now, and it's pretty obvious.
00:43:15.580
You should also know that any news story you see from now until Election Day is probably
00:43:26.500
These are presidential stories that don't look like it.
00:43:32.260
So NBC News, I think it was NBC, maybe it was somebody else, had a report that electric
00:43:38.860
cars are worse for the environment than regular cars.
00:43:44.700
Now, do you think if it were not a race between Biden and Trump, and if Elon Musk were not one
00:43:54.520
of the most important voices in politics at the moment, do you think a major news entity,
00:44:00.640
which always leans left and they like their green stuff, do you think that they would be
00:44:06.200
Do you think that would happen in a non-election year in which Musk was not a player?
00:44:15.300
I think they would have spiked that story, and they'd say, no, no, we like electric cars
00:44:23.280
But in an election year, oh, fuck those electric cars, am I right?
00:44:27.280
Now, to me, that looks purely like an attack on Musk, because you can see that it's an all—Biden
00:44:34.700
likes to talk about this all-government approach.
00:44:37.880
Well, there looks to be an all-government approach to attack Elon Musk, because he's attacked
00:44:42.560
legally, politically, in the news, and these are all entities that the Democrats control
00:44:49.700
So you should see that as a political story in a political year.
00:45:07.320
Or does BLK stand for something that is obvious and I don't know what it is?
00:45:11.380
Anyway, somebody named NBC-BLK reported that in the U.S., black women are six times more
00:45:18.820
likely to be killed than their white counterpoints.
00:45:22.020
Now, that sounds like a story of somebody who wants to drum up some racial animosity during
00:45:33.800
Is there anything you'd like to know about the fact that black women are, tragically,
00:45:38.560
six times more likely to be killed than their white counterpoints?
00:45:44.100
Well, end-wokeness, once again, for the win, the end-wokeness account, fills in the context
00:45:53.520
Ninety-three percent of those black women are killed by black men.
00:45:58.600
Now, some might suggest that black women should try to get away from the black men, but that's
00:46:06.260
And some might say that this is purely a political story, and you never would have seen it except
00:46:22.440
I saw even on CNN, Jake Tapper was making sure that people understood that Trump was getting
00:46:45.120
So, the fact that CNN and Jake Tapper would inject it into a conversation where he didn't
00:46:53.120
So, actually, that's the part that caught my attention.
00:46:59.500
But he wanted to make sure that his viewers knew that black men, not women, but black men
00:47:05.460
seemed to be moving more toward Trump than people expected.
00:47:08.480
Now, I feel that that puts it into the narrative, because the Republicans and Fox News can say
00:47:18.420
it all day long, and nobody hears it on the other side.
00:47:22.380
But if CNN says it, it starts to become a narrative.
00:47:26.440
And what happens if the narrative reaches black men?
00:47:30.860
What if black men start hearing that other black men are becoming more pro-Trump?
00:47:41.080
Because we're all herd instinct animals, so you like your social proofs.
00:47:45.960
You like other people like you to be doing things, and you're likely to copy them.
00:48:00.860
There is a new bipartisan bill to ban TikTok in Congress.
00:48:06.700
I think it'll fail, but I think it will tell us everything we need to know about who's in charge
00:48:16.860
So, I think that it will fail, because either there are people who want to use it for politics,
00:48:24.380
But I think it's going to just show us who's running the country.
00:48:27.160
I think that the reason for TikTok is that maybe our own intelligence people are already in it as well as China.
00:48:36.620
It could be that our intelligence services use it just like they would use other platforms to influence America somehow.
00:48:45.960
So, it could be that China isn't the only one using TikTok to influence Americans.
00:48:51.220
It could be our own intelligence service using all of the platforms the same way.
00:49:00.460
You know, if they had users who were getting big accounts sort of miraculously.
00:49:07.500
And I'm sure they could artificially make an account bigger if they wanted to.
00:49:10.800
So, I think that we're going to learn from who says no.
00:49:16.560
I wouldn't pay attention to, let's say, a Thomas Massey or a Rand Paul wanting to keep, or at least not wanting to ban it,
00:49:27.780
So, the absolutists are just don't ban things, let the market work it out.
00:49:39.460
But for the rest of the people, you might find out more than you thought you knew, thought you were going to find out.
00:49:45.480
All right, apparently Canada has made, I'm a little unclear on the timing,
00:49:50.140
has made or is about to make thought crimes a crime,
00:49:54.120
so that if you suspected somebody might say something bad about you that would be a hate crime in your opinion,
00:50:09.900
Not for saying something, but for being accused of maybe going to say something in the future
00:50:27.500
It doesn't have to be an actual crime that happened.
00:50:30.200
They can lock you up for life under the suspicion that you might say something in the future.
00:51:01.980
So, B.J. Dichter, I hope I pronounced his last name right, D-I-C-H-T-E-R, is it Dichter?
00:51:15.180
If it were my name, I'd probably say Dichter, but I don't know.
00:51:20.040
Anyway, you remember him from the Canadian truckers protest.
00:51:30.480
Musk is worried about maybe another 9-11, a terrorist attack,
00:51:34.960
and he's quite concerned about the fact that the Biden administration
00:51:39.040
apparently flew in over 300,000 people, some say,
00:51:46.300
So, I think it's very obvious now, as Musk points out,
00:51:49.720
that the administration is not trying to stop people.
00:51:52.760
They're trying to bring them in, as many as they can,
00:51:55.640
and it looks like for the purpose of converting them into voters
00:52:02.080
So, Musk, you know, is worried that with that many people coming in
00:52:07.840
without enough regulate, you know, enough checking, I guess.
00:52:11.220
Some could be terrorists, and we're probably in for some kind of a terrorist attack.
00:52:28.420
unless some other things happen that would indicate it's likely, right?
00:52:34.700
For example, I wouldn't worry about a 9-11 attack
00:52:37.380
unless Trump had a commanding lead in the polls.
00:52:44.340
Or unless, and probably it'd have to happen at the same time.
00:53:13.120
is coming back to America to work on Biden's campaign?
00:53:25.460
would be some kind of combination of dirty tricks
00:53:56.220
You don't have to worry about a 9-11 type attack.
