Scott Adams talks about Bill Maher's new found knowledge, and why a robot should not be allowed to testify in court. Plus, a woman who thinks a robot can do a lot of things that a man can't do, and a drummer who thinks Trump supporters are crazy.
00:04:31.020Somebody will contact me and say, oh, this made a difference to me or this helped me or I'm successful because I used your trick or I'm healthier.
00:04:59.240What's going to happen when you've got a robot in your house and you commit a crime?
00:05:06.000Are they going to be able to subpoena your robot?
00:05:08.980And will the robot actually just testify?
00:05:11.440Like actually get on the stand and say, yes, I was standing in the kitchen when I saw him do the crime.
00:05:19.400I feel like there should be a law that says your robot can't testify against you or you can't read its mind, meaning you can't download its its memories.
00:05:29.700And don't you think that's a good law?
00:05:35.240Your robot should not be able to testify against you.
00:05:38.800Otherwise, I'm not going to let it in the house, right?
00:05:42.200Because the robot is going to remember your past interactions.
00:06:48.240If you're not home, could our intelligence people take over your robot and tell it to search through your drawers and find all your crimes?
00:06:58.920You could tell it to steal the password from the owner, couldn't you?
00:07:04.760Because the robot could just observe the password being typed in, maybe hear it, might be able to detect it from the difference of the keystrokes.
00:07:13.780Your robot is going to be the biggest security problem you've ever had in your life.
00:07:18.060There will be nothing as insecure as your robot.
00:07:21.800Unless there are some real laws that prevent it.
00:07:26.280I don't know if you could prevent the CIA from getting in, but it'd be nice and be good.
00:07:34.600It's going to be hard for you to keep these in order.
00:07:37.880So you probably have a problem like I do with the 91 counts against Trump and these several venues and lawyers and how many Soros black prosecutors are trying to take him down.
00:07:51.120Does the stories all seem to seem the same in your head?
00:07:54.520Well, this is happening with all the airplane stories.
00:07:58.140So I see a story today that says, just in, United Airlines, Boeing 737, blah, blah, blah, loses a panel.
00:08:06.240And I say to myself, is that the story I just read?
00:08:27.220Well, once again, I would suggest to United, because it seems to be United has a lot of planes in the news, that they changed their slogan from Fly United to Fly Mostly United, but sometimes things fall off on the way.
00:08:43.720Mostly United, but sometimes things fall off on the way.
00:08:48.300All right, it looks like the National Association of Realtors has some kind of settlement in which the 6% House commission will no longer be automatic.
00:10:29.420You're just putting a different number on there.
00:10:31.600Now, you know, you could argue there's more rooms and stuff like that.
00:10:34.400But the point is that when a house cost $100,000, architects were getting a percentage of the $100,000, which was probably a reasonable number.
00:10:45.660When the architect was doing exactly the same work, but the cost of the average house became $2 million, depending where you live, they would still get a percentage.
00:14:21.040He's a French leader with an elderly wife.
00:14:26.860He's a young French leader with an elderly wife.
00:14:29.780What do you think the most likely rumors about his sex life are?
00:14:35.280Most likely has something to do with somebody other than his wife.
00:14:38.980I mean, that would be the French sort of thing.
00:14:41.380I will not rule out the Candace Owens hypothesis because, as she said, she looked into it and saying that you would stake your entire professional reputation on it is quite a thing to say.
00:15:08.020However, I will say that when Jake Tapper asked Macron about information about his explosive information about his sex life, that Macron looked really, really worried, in my opinion.
00:15:24.920Now, my opinion of how worried somebody looks is not exactly important.
00:15:31.080But in my opinion, he looked pretty panicked by the allegation.
00:15:35.560Now, I imagine he'd be panicked if it was just something like an affair.
00:15:39.260So that doesn't mean his wife's a man.
00:16:58.520I talked about that a lot in the first election.
00:17:01.480The new CEO move is when you go in and you immediately do a popular or dramatic thing that becomes your brand for the rest of the time you're in the job.
00:17:14.080The first thing you do is what people remember you for, if it's big.
00:17:18.600And so the first thing she did was do a very crowd-pleasing and smart thing, because Scott Pressler has definitely shown that he's got all the skills and the energy, and he knows how to do this.
00:18:04.060You don't get to tell those stories a lot where everything about it is good.
00:18:07.760But look for more signs that the Trump campaign and just his whole game is just a whole bunch better than it used to be, because he's learned.
00:18:21.200Judge Napolitano said that, let's see, right before Trump left office in 2021, Judge Napolitano said, he asked Trump about releasing the JFK assassination files.
00:18:37.300And Trump said, quote, this is a reported quote, so we don't know if it's his exact quote, but reportedly he said, judge, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either.
00:18:52.540And I said, who's they, and what did they show you?
00:24:59.780I would argue that now mom and dad is the most important force in the country because they're the ones holding it together against all odds.
00:25:13.440Well, Elliot Page, you know Elliot Page, actor Elliot Page, who was once an actress, but I think I'm dead naming her old job or something by saying actress, is now an actor named Elliot Page.
00:25:33.240And NBC News reports that Elliot is taking aim at the notion that queer films only have a small audience, saying that 30% of young people identify as LGBTQ.
00:25:45.780So, Elliot says, so I'm sorry, but this is not a niche.
00:25:50.32030% of young people identify as LGBTQ.
00:26:50.660I think you'd find a strong correlation between how much TikTok you watch.
00:26:56.220And, you know, maybe it has more to do with what content you're consuming.
00:27:00.280But, yeah, TikTok is probably changing 20% of young people is changing their sexual preference.
00:27:09.020Now, if you had never studied persuasion or hypnosis, you'd say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott, you can't use persuasion to turn somebody gay.
00:27:24.060Or, you can't use persuasion to change somebody's complete gender identity.
00:36:22.100This story is being told completely wrong, and those of you who live through it are completely aware of it.
00:36:31.280And it's being recorded as a complete fake history.
00:36:35.560While you're alive and while you're watching it in real time.
00:36:40.260And do, you know, I've noticed this with other searches.
00:36:43.460I did one this morning that was very clearly showed that these search engines have become useless.
00:36:49.420So there are probably other examples, and you could come up with them, in which you're watching in real time as the history of the world is completely fake, and it's going into the history books.
00:38:24.380I guess the judge said, after all the testimony about Fonnie hiring her boyfriend Wade to prosecute Trump, that that was too much of an appearance of conflict of interest.
00:38:37.920And so either she had to get off the case, said the judge, or the boyfriend had to be fired.
00:38:57.260But I, so I guess Fonnie will still be on the case.
00:39:00.320So the evil lying bigot remains and Wade, who, the poor Wade, who was just maybe over his head in the job, probably was just trying to do his job, I'm guessing.
00:39:13.980But anyway, I'm very happy about this result.
00:42:10.740Here's my favorite fake story of the day.
00:42:13.200There's a fake story that I think is in the New York Post that Don Lemon demanded from Elon a cyber truck in order to be on the X platform in some kind of arrangement.
00:42:26.060They report that Don Lemon demanded a cyber truck, $5 million signing bonus, $8 million salary, a $15 million marketing budget, private jet flights, pay for his massages in Vegas, executive assistance, and equity in X.
00:42:40.640Oh, and also control over news policy on X.
00:42:45.300Now, do you know what the source for that is?
00:42:53.120For a story like that, you'd want a pretty solid source, would you?
00:45:53.740There's another report that there's some kind of nervous system problems have become the biggest health problem, even bigger than heart disease.
00:47:37.660The obvious thing to study is people who have never been vaccinated compared to the past and see if they never vaccinated have a higher baseline of deaths.
00:47:50.980Now, are you blown away by the fact that you're not aware of any study of that?
00:49:16.960But until you have that study that would be very useful, as opposed to the other studies that I consider muddy or terrible, I would say that we also have to look at the food supply.
00:49:30.940I have a hypothesis without facts, but my hypothesis is this.
00:49:37.580When the pandemic hit, it caused a lot of people to start using substitutes to get done what they needed to do.
00:49:44.360They find different suppliers for this or that.
00:49:48.460Do you think there's any chance that farmers changed out the chemistry that they're using for their products because there was a shortage?
00:49:59.840In other words, did they have to use a different fertilizer during the pandemic and maybe kept doing it?
00:50:05.740Did they have to use a different weed killer or more of it because of the pandemic?
00:50:10.620Was there anything that changed in the chemistry of our food supply because of the pandemic?
00:50:24.820I've never heard anybody look into it.
00:50:27.300But we should certainly isolate for the shot by looking at unvaccinated, which we haven't done.
00:50:34.420And if we found that if everybody had the same baseline problems, it's probably the food supply or a form of pollution or microplastics or something, maybe even lifestyle.
00:50:49.840Because a lot of people had a lifestyle change after the pandemic.
00:50:54.200So I wonder if loneliness could get you there all by itself.
00:50:57.460I'm pretty sure if you if you studied lonely people, they would have a much higher sickness rate.
00:51:17.600So one of the things to study would be loneliness because the pandemic did cause a real big difference in how we interact with other people.
00:51:26.080There are far fewer people who are, you know, finding satisfying relationships and such.
00:51:31.180So it could be loneliness, could be the food supply, could be something in the environment like microplastics, but it could be the shots.
00:51:37.680What we know for sure is that the thing we call science is not trying to answer that question too hard, is it?
