If you'd like to take this experience up to levels
00:00:30.200
a tanker, a chalice, a stye, and a canteen jug or flask,
00:00:57.840
to see the Dilbert cartoon that has continued on,
00:01:01.100
it's now called Dilbert Reborn and it's spicier,
00:01:28.120
So Dilbert is running about two years ahead of reality.
00:01:34.860
Probably we're two years from having an AI co-worker,
00:01:42.000
And it's only a matter of time before DEI catches up
00:01:47.280
and discrimination against robots becomes a thing.
00:01:53.160
And in the comic that you don't get to see today
00:01:57.460
the robot is complaining about people calling him
00:04:54.740
what do you think about that Fourth Turning book?
00:05:13.520
It's the most bullshit I've ever heard in my life.
00:05:16.400
None of that looks even a little bit convincing.
00:05:49.220
No, I didn't really need to read a book to know that.
00:06:01.700
using computers can give you erectile dysfunction.
00:49:48.300
the 8th Amendment of our Constitution prohibited
00:50:40.580
victimless crime that is as everybody explained
00:51:04.620
who would think that's anything but a ridiculous
00:51:21.860
another 200 million by selling things at a fire
00:52:54.700
karma is gonna be quite a bitch for Letitia James
00:54:38.620
then follow up on it and destroy somebody that you
00:54:42.720
many of you would like to be president or trying
00:55:02.920
also have a criminal background I've never seen
00:55:05.800
that that honest people don't act anything like the
00:55:09.680
way she's acting so you're if you tell me oh no
00:55:13.920
there was just this one time when she decided to
00:55:22.500
good no no there's a really high chance she's got a
00:55:30.080
have to look for them and I would imagine that a
00:55:35.260
allocated to pay people to look for it and if the
00:55:49.340
and yeah and as Dershowitz warns if Trump is kept from
00:55:59.980
running or maybe he loses because of lawfare that
00:56:05.160
will not be deemed a credible outcome certainly I
00:56:10.220
would not say that was a fair election if if the lawfare
00:56:14.360
takes him out all right Democrats as I've often said
00:56:18.940
what passes as a disagreement is often Democrats not
00:56:23.940
knowing how anything works have you noticed that it looks
00:56:29.200
like it's a disagreement like some philosophical
00:56:31.580
thing but it's not it's just Democrats literally
00:56:35.400
don't have the background and experience in many cases
00:56:38.400
to understand how anything works Republicans tend to
00:56:42.480
be business people who succeeded in business and
00:56:46.980
maybe became a senator later you know they ran some kind
00:56:50.380
of a serious enterprise and then maybe ran for office but
00:56:54.020
there are a lot of Democrats who never had any kind of
00:56:55.940
business experience let me give you some real world
00:56:59.640
examples I saw a user and X Michael Harriet who is
00:57:06.500
explaining why DEI well here's what he says he says well
00:57:11.800
here's the thing while most people think DEI policies have
00:57:15.280
something to do with increasing minorities most DEI policies
00:57:19.200
focus on recruiting and retention and he says instead of lowering
00:57:24.060
your standards you can increase diversity by inviting more diverse
00:57:27.840
students to apply now that's somebody who doesn't it looks
00:57:32.360
like this somebody has no experience in the real world that's like stupid
00:57:36.820
isn't it how does he not understand that the problem is there's not enough
00:57:43.720
supply it's true that any one company can improve their diversity if they do
00:57:50.480
better than the other companies and attracting you know a higher percentage
00:57:54.280
of supply but it's not true that they can all do it there's too low a supply
00:57:59.780
the only way you can fix the number of adults you know being a enough to have a
00:58:06.240
diverse workplace the only way to fix that is to fix that childhood you're gonna
00:58:10.700
have to fix the pipeline you're gonna have to get them really early like first
00:58:14.740
grade kindergarten and train them so that eventually there's enough people to do
00:58:20.540
every job diversely but how how can you possibly be an adult and not understand that
00:58:28.600
the problem is a supply problem and not a how you do it problem there's no way to
00:58:34.400
do it to create the supply once you're an adult you got to start with 30 years
00:58:40.820
earlier forget it so we should and so i looked at michael's profile and he's a
00:58:51.000
writer and some kind of a race profiteer kind of guy he does some kind of race
00:58:56.060
grifty stuff everything about race is grifty so i don't know his details but are
00:59:02.340
you surprised that somebody who's a writer and obsessed with race related things
00:59:06.860
can't do even counting and knowing how supply and demand works no it's very
00:59:17.420
apparently the law in new york and some other places
00:59:21.740
maybe california too allows a gang member to buy a firearm an illegal migrant
00:59:31.860
can buy a firearm legally these are the democrat laws so they can come in uh they'll
00:59:39.300
actually be helped to bring in uh and then they can find an empty rental property or even
00:59:45.120
your own house and just move into it when you're on vacation and it would be illegal for
00:59:51.280
you to move them out you have to let them stay and if they stay for a certain amount of time
00:59:57.800
it becomes their property so so basically ms-13 knows they can just find an empty house
01:00:06.680
and move in and it's theirs they get to keep it
01:00:12.040
that's real i'm not making that up ms-13 can come here illegally but it's we've made it legal to
01:00:20.440
be here illegally they can go to the store and buy a firearm or they can possess one and they can
01:00:28.920
move into your house while you're on vacation and keep it that's our current laws
01:00:38.200
is there anybody here didn't know that because this is new it's not every state but i'm sure
01:00:44.840
california in new york the squatter has the rights not the owner now do you think that people who
01:00:52.920
understand how anything works were behind these rules no of course not nobody who had any business
01:01:00.680
experience or experience with the real world would allow that to happen because it's pretty obvious
01:01:07.080
what's going to happen obviously ms-13 is going to take over every house they can get why wouldn't
01:01:13.160
they it's free houses california and new york are giving away free houses to ms-13 members and i'm not
01:01:22.920
even making that up that's like a real thing now they don't say it that way it's just that they've
01:01:30.040
created laws that guarantee it now this is my second example where there's something wrong with not just
01:01:39.160
the philosophy of democrats they seem unable or unable to think through really basic stuff how incentives
01:01:49.960
work how any system is designed really basic you want another example i'll give you two from ted lu
01:01:58.840
he's uh one of the california congress people and there's a video of him it's not a new one but
01:02:04.200
not too long ago a couple years ago he was on msnbc and he was telling the viewers that the best way to
01:02:10.280
combat fake news is for people to watch msnbc because they report real news all the time he actually said
01:02:19.720
real news all the time i didn't i didn't even add the all the time part those were his exact words he looked
01:02:27.000
at the camera and said without any any tinge of sarcasm that the way to combat fake news is for
01:02:36.120
people to watch msnbc because they report real news all the time now you might say to yourself scott that
01:02:42.600
might be the dumbest thing i've ever heard an elected official say do you think he's unaware do
01:02:50.360
you think he's unaware that msnbc is all fake because he might be that would be even be more frightening
01:02:58.840
it would be one thing to imagine you know he's just lying and he wants a job there someday so he's
01:03:04.840
just buttering them up i mean that's not terrible you know it's bad to lie but it's not the worst thing
01:03:11.480
but the worst thing would be if he actually thought it was true what if he thinks it's true
01:03:17.400
i've ever considered that what if the democrats believe what they're saying
01:03:22.760
because i always assume they don't believe it because it's so weird and stupid how can you
01:03:26.760
possibly believe it it's just something you say to win but he might actually believe that you want
01:03:32.120
another one here's another ted lou he said uh that uh on the post he said trump claims he is a
01:03:41.880
billionaire but he can't pay 464 million judgment that means he is lying how do i know math
01:03:53.640
wow do you know who had to school him in public that donald trump is not to blame
01:04:02.360
for not having the cash mark cuban who couldn't even stand watching his own teammate you know
01:04:09.960
somebody who would be anti-trump he he couldn't stand watching the stupidity coming from his own side
01:04:15.880
so he had to do an extended thread to explain how in an atmosphere of low interest rates somebody like
01:04:22.040
trump would put all of their cash into assets because the assets could grow but cash isn't worth much
01:04:29.960
in zero interest rate times so mark cuban had to explain the difference between cash and assets
01:04:37.720
to somebody we elected to make laws so ted ted lou thinks msnbc tells the truth all the time
01:04:49.320
so yeah uh i contend that the democrat party can be explained by not understanding how business works
01:05:00.840
in general so they they get everything wrong in terms of incentives every time and also being um
01:05:08.120
obsessed with self-harm so between self-harm and not understanding business
01:05:14.440
you get the democrats at least a third of them i'd say
01:05:19.560
well there's some new evidence that happiness is changing for some countries american germany
01:05:26.040
fell out of the top 20 happiest countries huh i wonder when that happened kind of a sudden drop in the
01:05:33.320
last several years do you think that wokeness might be part of it of course it is of course this yeah
01:05:42.040
wokeness makes you unhappy why because it's the act of focusing on yourself and how the external
01:05:50.760
world is victimizing you do you know what makes a person unhappy focusing on yourself and believing
01:05:58.120
that the external world is after you and the reason you can't succeed is because something somebody else
01:06:04.840
is doing it's all that discrimination yeah so wokeness bias design will make you unhappy
01:06:13.560
that's not all it will do it will also destroy your whole country but in the short term it'll make
01:06:18.040
you unhappy because it shifts your mindset to oh i'd be doing better if it were for all these uh white
01:06:24.920
supremacists and stuff so of course that's the problem meanwhile helsinki finland is looking good
01:06:33.160
um israel well their numbers were before the october 7th thing so i'm not sure that'll tell you anything
01:06:40.440
uh meanwhile in a separate um survey by wallet hub they looked at the 10 happiest
01:06:47.880
cities in america so this is a survey so you know it's scientific it must be completely true
01:06:56.760
so here are the cities that they found the happiest in america i'll just read them quickly
01:07:02.280
scottsdale arizona columbia maryland pearl city hawaii san francisco california hololulu
01:07:08.360
hawaii irvine california madison wisconsin san jose california overland park kansas and fremont
01:07:15.800
california california so we've got out of the top 10 san francisco irvine san jose and fremont
01:07:32.600
well first of all i doubt the question about san francisco i'm not sure that that's accurate but
01:07:43.000
it's the weather the the weather just really really makes a difference if you have a choice
01:07:49.480
go where the weather is good so these are just four places in california
01:07:54.040
where the weather is real good los angeles isn't on the list
01:07:57.720
i'm surprised san francisco's on there anyway um do you remember christine blasey ford blasey ford
01:08:07.240
she's the one who said that uh justice kavanaugh sexually assaulted her or something
01:08:14.680
and molly hemingway posts 20 things that would strongly suggest she lied about the whole thing
01:08:22.120
now i don't have to go through the whole list but just know that there are 20 really strong
01:08:27.800
indications that they never met and she made up the whole thing but somehow that story has emerged again
01:08:38.280
there's a lawyer who was just sued in great britain for saying that only women can have periods
01:08:45.160
so they got some pretty bad hate speech rules over there that would be considered hate speech to say
01:08:50.520
that only women can have periods um i call them vagina having people
01:08:57.960
so that's how i get away they're just vagina having people all right um
01:09:05.640
rasmussen is reporting some uh poll results on voters that suggest the republicans are going to gain
01:09:12.520
seats in the upcoming election so here's the details from rasmussen all right so if the elections for
01:09:18.920
congress were held today 47 would vote for republican candidates while 41 would vote for democrat so
01:09:25.320
that's a six point spread it's been higher it's been as high as uh nine recently in january but um two
01:09:33.880
years ago in march 22 republicans had an 11 point lead um around now but in the final polling before
01:09:43.560
election day republicans had a five point lead and that five point lead compare that to today's six
01:09:49.320
point lead um got them a net gain of nine seats so and they captured the house so net gain now the the
01:10:00.040
immigrants coming in who are going to boost the number of uh congressional seats that won't kick in
01:10:05.640
until after the next census i guess so it's a long-term play but uh do you think this will hold do you think
01:10:14.120
that this indication does tell you that republicans will do well well there's going to be so much that
01:10:20.040
happens between now and then yeah that that lead will evaporate between now and then all right if
01:10:27.640
you're not watching the ongoing story about the dominion machines there's allegations from a sheriff
01:10:34.360
in michigan that he's seen uh documentation to suggest that serbians access the machines the voting
01:10:42.280
machines while votes were being counted that's quite an allegation so the allegation which i'm not saying is
01:10:51.880
true i'm just reporting the allegation is that the sheriff says there were at least two serbians
01:10:58.680
nationals who were accessing the machines in real time while they were watching while the votes were
01:11:05.720
being counted now the access they had presumably would give them the ability to change things doesn't
01:11:11.400
mean they did dominion's comment on this is that it is flatly false flatly false didn't happen
01:11:19.400
now here's what we're waiting for flatly false is sort of lacking in details here's what a real
01:11:30.920
denial would sound like that is flatly false followed by the reason and the reason would sound like i'll
01:11:38.520
just make this one up but it would sound like something like this uh you're looking at records
01:11:43.320
that are from the wrong day i'm not saying that's true i'm just saying that's the sort of thing you'd
01:11:48.920
expect or they'd say uh yes the serbians work for us they're contractors they did have access but we
01:11:57.800
walled off their thing and we can check the records to see if they did anything so it was it was fine
01:12:03.400
don't worry about it now i didn't hear that and maybe that will come later but what you expect for a
01:12:10.120
real denial is some some acknowledgement that the evidence exists but your version of it is that it's not
01:12:18.120
saying what you think it's saying when there's a flat denial that doesn't acknowledge that the
01:12:24.360
people making the allegation are looking at a piece of paper with writing on it that it exists to not
01:12:31.400
mention what the real story is about whatever it is they're looking at is sort of a dog that's not
01:12:38.200
barking really loudly so keep an eye on this one i remind you that uh 95 to 100 of every claim about the
01:12:46.120
2020 election is highly likely to be wrong even if the election was rigged but any specific claim
01:12:55.240
and this would be a specific claim uh is unlikely to be true however this one is getting a little bit
01:13:03.240
more attention than most of them and there does seem to be a document and there are some questions
01:13:10.200
doesn't mean that anything happened that was illegal or that it was rigged it just means that if you ever
01:13:18.520
thought our system was auditable do you feel stupid now is there anybody here who ever believed we could
01:13:27.160
audit our election system and find out if it was proper who ever believed that
01:13:34.040
uh here again i think democrats believe it if they have not worked and lived in the real world
01:13:43.080
now i have worked and lived in the real world and a lot of the times it was my job to fund and put
01:13:50.840
together you know technology packages complicated things often make uh i would often be collecting data
01:13:57.880
from different sources to do an analysis if you've done that kind of business you know what any
01:14:05.000
complicated environment looks like so the election system is a complicated environment
01:14:12.600
i don't need to have direct evidence or direct experience with that domain to make the following
01:14:19.080
claim there's no way you can audit that thing it's just like my my statement about you can't measure the
01:14:27.000
temperature of the earth you know correctly and over time and show the change you can't do those things
01:14:33.480
in the real world in the real world you can't you can't increase diversity without discriminating
01:14:40.360
because there just aren't enough candidates not in the real world and a hundred percent of people with
01:14:46.040
real world experience know that you know some might lie because you know their team is lying but we all know it
01:14:52.440
everybody who has lived in the real world knows that you can't keep those measuring devices accurate
01:14:59.880
over time the maintenance problems the concrete problems the the fact that they measure the high
01:15:04.840
and the lows instead of you know just the average there are all kinds of problems plus the number of
01:15:10.040
places that aren't measured the fact that heat can go hide in different places in the planet for a while
01:15:16.040
and then you move around and you don't have measurements everywhere so you can't capture that
01:15:22.600
and then they tell us that the election is auditable no nobody who's ever spent a minute in the real world
01:15:30.520
could look at anything that complicated with so many different players involved and you just ask yourself
01:15:36.760
scott can you track your own vote to make sure it got to its destination it was and was counted
01:15:43.320
no that's all you need to know that's the end of the story if i can't if i can't track my own vote
01:15:52.440
no it's not auditable who would ever think that who would think that you could check every part of a
01:16:00.040
automated system and that nobody could get in there and you know put a little bug in there or a worm or
01:16:07.000
something and that the company producing it has every right to keep their software proprietary
01:16:13.640
so do you do you think there's somebody who is just an independent observer who has access to
01:16:20.600
dominion's software like to actually look at the source code
01:16:27.560
i don't know i would think that they would keep that to themselves in the real world in the real
01:16:31.800
world they're not going to let anybody see it which means you don't know what it's doing
01:16:35.160
right in the real world if you design a system and it's not giving you what you want year after year
01:16:44.920
after year same problems if you don't change it or talk loudly about your desire to change it
01:16:52.840
then it's not the problem is that you designed it to do what it's doing right design
01:16:58.760
it shows you intention over time you know on day one something might not do what you hoped it would
01:17:04.840
do but over time if we keep having these results that the public isn't completely trusting and they're
01:17:12.920
not getting the results quickly and there's a lot of you know credibility questions if you don't fix
01:17:19.480
that it's because you want it not to be fixed so again if you have any real world experience
01:17:29.000
and you and look at the difference of opinions from the people with real world experience versus
01:17:34.680
those who don't and it's a waste of time to have an argument with somebody who doesn't have real world
01:17:40.200
business experience if i get in the conversation with somebody has no real world business experience
01:17:47.240
they're going to say of course we can improve diversity everywhere at the same time
01:17:52.360
no you can't that's stupid nobody with experience thinks that uh and uh that you can audit the
01:17:59.320
elections nobody with any technical experience believes that yeah show me anybody who who's ever
01:18:05.800
written a functional piece of code and you tell me that they'll honestly think you can audit the entire
01:18:12.840
election system nobody not a single person with experience
01:18:19.160
people with experience who think you can measure the planet earth none these are really clean examples of
01:18:25.480
things that are lies we know those are not doable things all right ladies and gentlemen
01:18:33.160
this brings me to the conclusion of the best live stream you're going to see today
01:18:37.960
do you want some optimism to close down who wants some optimism
01:18:44.520
all right here's something everything's trending in the right direction except debt but i think we'll
01:18:51.640
figure that out too everything's trending in the right direction so they're terrible problems which
01:18:59.720
in real time are being reframed and the big difference between this year and prior years is the growth of
01:19:08.040
the independent media so independent media you know the glenn greenwalls the matt taibes michael schellenbergers
01:19:17.880
and people like me we get to say what the mainstream corporate media can't say and it really is making
01:19:24.520
a difference now you're you're already seeing the power of the internet dads and i'll say internet moms as
01:19:30.840
well have you seen it have you seen any situation where the the let's say the uh responsible people who
01:19:39.880
know how things work have put a damper on things yeah that whole uh um bloodbath thing the bloodbath thing
01:19:51.000
was turned into a joke by the independence by people like me we turned it into a joke and it completely
01:20:00.440
disabled the democrats because every time they said it we would laugh at them and make fun of it and create
01:20:06.440
and get content and the more they said it the more we laughed and the funnier it was and they finally
01:20:12.920
just sort of slunk away because i don't think they're talking about today are they and it got
01:20:19.880
crazier when they brought in their smartest people all right we really screwed up on this make some kind
01:20:25.880
of weird lawyerly argument where the bloodbath thing starts to make sense again so then they started to
01:20:32.760
say well okay granted he wasn't talking about it like that it was just about the car business but
01:20:41.720
that's what he does so it really must be seen in the context of our other hoaxes so we hoaxed you
01:20:49.800
about the fine people we hoaxed you about whipping immigrants if you believe that well obviously and so
01:20:57.320
once it got to the point where they were using their other hoaxes to prop up the new hoax and all
01:21:03.320
the independent people could see it and we talked about it we thought it was funny it kind of made it
01:21:09.080
go away so it's going to be more of that things are very different this time and i think we're going
01:21:15.240
to be watching for any fuckery in the election um in my opinion there's no chance that they won't attempt
01:21:22.840
to rig the election that's my view i i see no chance none at all that the democrats will just play
01:21:31.480
fair i think they'll try to rig it in legal means you know if they can change some rules in ways to
01:21:37.240
help but definitely an illegal means too because uh that's the world we're in i can't believe for a
01:21:46.120
minute they would allow uh trump to become president if they could stop it because they've all been
01:21:53.160
convinced he's like the second coming of hillary so of course they're going to try to stop him
01:21:58.360
of course but i think that between the independent media which makes a big difference
01:22:03.080
uh x and elon which makes a big difference in our free speech i do think that the corrective forces
01:22:09.960
are lining up uh i think that it's starting to look to me like trump will
01:22:18.440
get through all of his lawfare now i'm not sure i would have said that two months ago but the way
01:22:25.880
things are shaping up that even if he can't pay his fine to letitia james i i shouldn't admit this
01:22:34.280
but i'm going to there's part of me the hopes he can't pay the fine is anybody having that same
01:22:42.360
feeling because i feel this needs to be pushed to the breaking point i want to see trump say i can't
01:22:50.600
pay it we're going to review it and you can't make me pay it before it's appealed you're going to have to
01:22:56.840
put me in jail now i think what they try to do is close his businesses in other words i think that
01:23:02.680
letitia and her goons would show up with you know police tape and like tape up the his building and
01:23:09.320
say we own it now imagine that do you think they have the guts to do that do you think that new
01:23:17.960
yorkers would allow them to take over the building right in front of them well a lot of them would
01:23:25.400
but a lot of them wouldn't a lot of them wouldn't so there's part of me that says let's push this
01:23:32.200
but i don't want to risk trump actually being in jail you know because they could very easily
01:23:37.080
peter navarro him too but i don't feel like nibbling around the edges on this is working
01:23:46.280
it's just going to cost them a billion dollars i think he needs to go right at it and just say you
01:23:51.880
know what every person in the whole country can see what's happening he should stand in front of his
01:23:57.640
building on the on the deadline and say here i am here i am but do it in front of everybody
01:24:07.640
now i can't recommend that trump do that because he'd probably end up in jail
01:24:11.880
and that's not cool but there's but there's part of me that fantasizes he just pushes it until it breaks
01:24:20.280
you know you know you know if you have that loose tooth you've ever lost a tooth when you're a kid
01:24:24.520
and you can't stop pushing it with your tongue because it's loose and you just you at some point
01:24:31.640
even though it hurts you just want to rip that thing out that's how i'm feeling let's just pull
01:24:37.080
that mole around and see what happens anyway um i'm going to talk to the people on locals after i say
