00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:09.500 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, the best time you've ever had.
00:00:12.960 But if you'd like to take this up to a level that nobody can even believe is possible with their tiny human brains,
00:00:20.400 all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein, a kinteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:26.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:28.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.
00:00:32.640 The thing that makes everything better. It's called a simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.
00:00:40.020 Oh, I just barely made it.
00:00:49.520 Oh, man, that could have been a disaster.
00:00:55.380 You don't want to sneeze and sip at the same time.
00:00:58.860 It's bad enough if you sneeze and fart at the same time.
00:01:02.640 But if you sneeze, fart and sip at the same time, now the cleanup is just going to go on forever.
00:01:09.140 Anyway, NVIDIA has a new AI agent.
00:01:12.320 For $9 an hour, it will be your nurse and it performs better than nurses.
00:01:20.420 Do you want a $9 an hour nurse that performs better than nurses? 1.00
00:01:24.240 Well, I don't know about you, but how much do you do with a nurse that doesn't involve touching you?
00:01:34.160 Every time I go to the doctor, if there's a nurse involved, they're getting me on something or putting something on me or checking something or, I don't know, how much of that can they do remotely?
00:01:49.540 Seems like the nurse is for things that touch you.
00:01:53.000 But we'll see.
00:01:56.160 I wouldn't mind having a $9 nurse option.
00:02:00.060 Oh, my goodness.
00:02:03.620 Sorry.
00:02:04.220 All right.
00:02:08.200 Speaking of microchips, Samsung is building a chip cluster in Texas.
00:02:14.740 So I guess the Biden administration is going to make $6.4 billion available to help fund a Samsung chip-making thing.
00:02:25.800 It's going to be a cluster in Texas.
00:02:27.460 We really are not good at things in the United States anymore, are we?
00:02:33.260 We kind of have to get other people to build our microchips.
00:02:37.300 Does that scare you?
00:02:39.240 It was only a few short years ago I thought the United States had some kind of, you know, technical dominance on the world.
00:02:46.600 But if we can't build microchips without another company, another country helping us, were we ever technologically dominant in the first place?
00:02:56.480 Maybe just software?
00:02:58.200 I don't know.
00:03:00.900 Well, I've got some questions for you about, you know, Tesla has the full self-driving option now.
00:03:10.280 Now, of course, it's supervised.
00:03:11.720 You still have to check in with it once in a while.
00:03:14.680 But your Tesla can pretty much drive you home on its own.
00:03:20.260 And here's the question.
00:03:22.120 Two questions.
00:03:23.500 Number one, what does that do about drunk driving?
00:03:27.460 Just imagine this scenario.
00:03:30.920 You've had too many drinks.
00:03:32.600 You get in your car and you have it drive you home.
00:03:36.700 And you're supervising, but not really because you're drunk.
00:03:39.740 So a cop pulls you over and says, I'm going to give you a ticket.
00:03:45.140 They test you.
00:03:45.920 You're drunk.
00:03:46.880 I'm going to give you a ticket for unsafe driving.
00:03:49.320 And you say, but officer, I was in full self-driving mode.
00:03:56.700 And the officer says, but you're still drunk and you're still in charge of the car.
00:04:00.480 Well, that's true, officer.
00:04:03.160 But isn't the whole point of giving me a ticket because you say I'm less safe than a sober driver?
00:04:09.400 Well, yes, that's true.
00:04:10.620 But do you understand, officer, that a drunk in a self-driving car is actually safer than a person who's not drunk at all, who's driving their own car?
00:04:24.160 And the police officer says, stop trying to lawyer me and takes him to jail anyway.
00:04:29.540 But do you think there would be a case where the defense could say, look, I get that it's illegal, but this person was unambiguously safer than all the other people driving at the same time?
00:04:46.460 Because we can prove that the self-driving is safer, even unattended, even if you're drunk, than people trying to drive home at 12 at night and they're all tired.
00:04:59.540 I don't know.
00:05:00.320 It could be interesting.
00:05:01.360 But here's another one.
00:05:02.740 Suppose Tesla offered insurance and the amount you paid at the end of every month was based entirely upon how much self-driving you did or how much the car drove versus you.
00:05:17.620 If you could show that the car did 90% of the driving, maybe it would reduce your insurance by 90%.
00:05:25.380 What about that?
00:05:27.760 Because Tesla would know how much safer it is to have the self-driving engaged.
00:05:35.640 And I think they're already claiming that it's much safer than humans, and I believe it.
00:05:40.320 You know, all things considered, humans are pretty sketchy.
00:05:42.720 So, do you think that a self-driving car could reduce your insurance costs so much that paying for the self-driving is free?
00:05:52.360 In other words, could you reduce your car insurance so much that $99 a month to pay for the self-driving just pays for itself?
00:06:01.560 That's a possibility.
00:06:04.280 Now, we'll see.
00:06:06.060 All right.
00:06:06.460 Here's a story about backwards science.
00:06:10.720 Wall Street Journal has an article that says,
00:06:12.740 There's a study involving the entire adult population of Denmark found a clear link between cannabis abuse and mental illness.
00:06:21.160 There's a clear link.
00:06:22.660 How many paragraphs down do you have to read in the story before they tell you that the clear link is not causation?
00:06:32.360 And they cannot tell you if people with mental illness are more likely to do weed or people who do weed are causing their own mental illness.
00:06:40.900 Don't you think that ought to be the first paragraph?
00:06:45.600 Don't you think a story like this is written to fool you into thinking it's going to say one thing, and then it just says,
00:06:52.000 Oh, well, we didn't demonstrate any causation.
00:06:56.620 And given that it's a near certainty that people with mental illness are more likely to try to self-medicate, does anybody doubt that?
00:07:05.000 Is there anybody watching who doubts the obvious statement that people who have mental illness are more likely to look for a solution in a drug or a drink or a cigarette or something?
00:07:18.540 I think that makes sense.
00:07:21.780 Fake science.
00:07:23.240 Backward science.
00:07:26.620 Speaking of Samsung, it looks like Apple is losing the number one position as a phone maker.
00:07:32.840 So Samsung not only is going to make chips in the United States, but they're making more phones and selling them than iPhones.
00:07:42.100 What do you think of that?
00:07:44.740 Hmm.
00:07:45.660 I think Apple has some real challenges because of AI.
00:07:49.100 So one of two things is going to happen.
00:07:51.220 Either Apple will be reborn with an AI version of whatever they do,
00:07:56.760 or they're going to be in real trouble and Samsung will just keep eating their market.
00:08:04.740 I don't know if you've had this experience, but I have an Apple iPhone.
00:08:09.820 Where I live, you would be considered a heathen if you don't have an iPhone.
00:08:14.360 Does anybody live in one of those messed up places?
00:08:16.580 Where the iPhone is like the, that's the one that makes you look good.
00:08:23.460 But when I see people whip out their, their Samsungs, I often think to myself, oh, that looks better than what I have.
00:08:31.480 So I do think Samsung might be out, now engineering Apple at the moment.
00:08:35.840 There's a new security cam from a Slovenian startup that can shoot at your visitors. 1.00
00:08:44.400 So you can shoot paintballs or possibly tear gas canisters, pellets, I guess, at your visitors.
00:08:52.560 Now, how much do you want that?
00:08:55.440 So you can shoot the paintball at them to basically mark them for the police.
00:09:00.720 So, so if I get a, like a package theft, porch pirate, I could just mark them.
00:09:10.260 Pew, pew.
00:09:11.760 I want to mark them with paint, but also tear gas and maybe sleeping gas.
00:09:16.920 Yeah.
00:09:18.440 I mean, I, I would put easily stealable packages on my porch every day if I could shoot people with a paintball remotely.
00:09:26.240 But I really want AI to do it for me.
00:09:28.400 I want AI to be like a self-driving security cam where it just looks at people and does, it does, it does profiling.
00:09:40.920 I want my AI to just look at their face.
00:09:44.260 And if they have crazy eyes, you just light them up.
00:09:48.240 It's like crazy eyes have been detected, commencing firing.
00:09:53.240 Pew, pew, pew, pew.
00:09:54.920 Who wouldn't want that? 0.71
00:09:56.440 Am I right?
00:09:57.000 Meanwhile, Steve Mnuchin, who had been Treasury Secretary under Trump, is trying to put together some deal to buy TikTok, but without buying the, the algorithm.
00:10:11.660 So I guess the problem is that China would never sell them the algorithm and the secret IP, but he thinks he could buy the customers.
00:10:21.700 What would you buy if you're not buying the servers, you're not buying the employees, and you're not buying the algorithm?
00:10:29.460 What exactly are you buying?
00:10:33.200 I don't even know what he's buying.
00:10:34.940 The name?
00:10:35.660 Yeah, they're going to keep the name on it, but it would be a different algorithm and a different company.
00:10:40.800 How do you do that?
00:10:43.120 The data?
00:10:44.000 I'm not even sure they would buy the data.
00:10:45.720 I feel like they wouldn't sell you the data because then you'd know what data they have.
00:10:57.840 So I'm watching this with interest, but I don't know what there is to buy exactly.
00:11:06.760 So we'll see.
00:11:07.460 Maybe he's got a plan.
00:11:08.280 So we hear today that trillions of tons of carbon were left out of the models, the climate models, trillions of tons, because it turns out there's more carbon in dirt than people thought.
00:11:24.220 And I guess it can get out.
00:11:26.920 I don't know how it gets out.
00:11:28.060 How does the carbon get out of the dirt?
00:11:29.500 If you just sort of disturb the dirt, does the carbon get out?
00:11:35.940 How does it get out once it's captured in dirt?
00:11:39.040 I don't understand that story.
00:11:41.120 Anyway, the point is that there may be trillions of tons of carbon that are not in any of the prediction models.
00:11:48.340 And it's like a really big thing, which means that if the models are wrong, they're wrong and too low.
00:11:55.880 Or it would be proof that the models were never right, because if they left out all that carbon, it means carbon is probably not really what's happening.
00:12:09.820 So do you notice the trend?
00:12:13.340 The climate change narrative is just completely dissembling.
00:12:18.280 You know, it's just one thing after another.
00:12:20.540 And just in time for the elections.
00:12:22.140 Now, I remind you that I don't know what's true or not true about climate change.
00:12:29.600 What I know for sure is that scientists are full of shit, just in general.
00:12:36.180 So you can't trust them if they say there's climate change.
00:12:38.880 So that leaves the rest of us just sort of gaslighting, basically.
00:12:43.500 All right.
00:12:44.200 The rabbit hole is talking about a...
00:12:46.660 That's a count on X, the rabbit hole.
00:12:49.480 People are getting married later.
00:12:52.860 They used to get married in their 20s now.
00:12:54.860 Men are getting married at about age 30, and women are at about age 28.
00:13:00.240 How in the world are we supposed to reproduce if people are getting their first marriage when they're close to 30?
00:13:08.700 Wouldn't that just necessarily reduce maybe by two-thirds the number of kids you're going to have?
00:13:14.080 Maybe by half.
00:13:15.780 Because it's not a lot of time to have a kid after that.
00:13:17.860 But anyway, I just point that out, that everything seems to be moving toward lower human reproduction at the same time that robots are coming online.
00:13:28.760 Is it really a coincidence that the same time our reproduction is going in the toilet, that robots and AI are coming online to replace people?
00:13:40.580 It feels like that would be the weirdest coincidence in all of human history if, after like a million years of evolution, those two things had it at the same time.
00:13:51.420 That's a weird coincidence, isn't it?
00:13:53.340 Tim Ferriss has a big podcast with a hypnotist.
00:14:01.960 And I haven't listened to it yet, but here's what's interesting about this.
00:14:05.760 Tim Ferriss is one of those influencers who, if he does a big story about something, it's more likely to become a big thing.
00:14:14.640 Because he has a lot of reach and influence.
00:14:19.540 And I wonder if this will change what people think of hypnosis.
00:14:24.060 Because it's some Stanford guy with a lot of credentials, and he's talking about what he can and cannot do, I guess.
00:14:31.480 So I haven't listened to it, but I will.
00:14:35.080 And here's what I'm curious about.
00:14:36.980 I don't know if any two hypnotists would describe hypnosis the same way.
00:14:43.940 I've never heard anybody describe it the way I'd describe it.
00:14:48.700 And you tend to get vague words like, you know, you're subconscious and blah, blah, things that don't really mean anything.
00:14:58.320 So we'll keep an eye on that.
00:14:59.740 It could be that hypnosis could become a bigger mainstream issue.
00:15:05.060 Well, today is Trump's hush money trial, the beginning of the trial for the Stormy Daniels situation.
00:15:13.360 Now, how many of you could accurately tell a stranger what that case is about?
00:15:20.520 And what was the illegal part?
00:15:22.900 How many of you even understand the case?
00:15:25.640 And what makes any of that illegal?
00:15:28.320 I don't.
00:15:29.160 I've been watching this damn thing for how long?
00:15:33.440 I don't really even know what the illegal part is.
00:15:36.840 What was illegal about paying her not to talk?
00:15:42.040 What was illegal about that?
00:15:44.520 I thought that was the most ordinary thing in the whole world.
00:15:48.240 People pay people and sign nondisclosures, and it was just a contract.
00:15:55.640 So it was the only thing that came out of his campaign.
00:15:59.160 And how in the world is that not a legal campaign expense?
00:16:05.060 I can't think of anything that would be more directly applicable to getting elected.
00:16:09.060 So I feel like they did they have to make up a crime just so they could bring him in.
00:16:17.540 I think the public doesn't even know what the crime is.
00:16:19.940 I think the public is thinking, well, was it the sleeping with the porn star part?
00:16:27.300 Like, what exactly was the crime?
00:16:29.160 And then you get it confused with, you know, the other woman who sued him, Gene, whatever her name is.
00:16:40.600 They all run together in your head, don't you?
00:16:42.560 But the reason I don't take any of them too seriously is they don't look real.
00:16:47.320 None of them look super real, do they?
00:16:49.000 Here's my bottom line.
00:16:52.960 The only thing keeping Trump out of jail is 50 million American men.
00:17:01.200 Now, of course, there are more voters, but it's the men who keep him out of jail.
00:17:05.700 Because if only the women wanted Trump not to go to jail, it wouldn't make any difference.
00:17:09.580 It's only that there are 50 million men who are getting a little, just a little bit vexed, shall we say.
00:17:22.900 Yeah.
00:17:27.080 Now, I see some of you in the comments trying to prime me to say there are 50 million armed men.
00:17:34.540 But the armed is not even the issue.
00:17:37.200 It's 50 million men.
00:17:39.580 Even 50 million men without guns could pretty much make anything happen they wanted.
00:17:47.060 But do you disagree?
00:17:48.660 Because it seems to me that the legal system is so thoroughly corrupt that they would just throw them in jail on any damn thing that they could.
00:17:57.080 The only control on it is 50 million men, and it's the men, it's not the women, who are unpredictable. 0.92
00:18:05.740 So 50 million men taking the Trump theory of unpredictability.
00:18:10.740 That's the only thing that's keeping.
00:18:12.960 If all 50 million men said, you know what, we don't want him to go to jail, but if he did, well, that's the system talking.
00:18:21.340 And we support the system.
00:18:22.540 If they said that, he'd already be in jail, and it wouldn't even matter what they charged him with.
00:18:29.600 They'd just throw him in jail.
00:18:30.820 If they knew they could get away with it, that's the only thing stopping them.
00:18:34.760 There's nothing stopping other than can we make it look legitimate so that the 50 million men don't go nuts on us.
00:18:43.740 Well, here's the good news.
00:18:48.720 I don't think anything's going to change the mind of the 50 million men.
00:18:52.600 So I think it doesn't matter what the details of any of these cases are.
00:18:56.580 If they find him guilty or don't find him guilty, if they appeal or don't appeal, you're not going to put him in jail for one day.
00:19:06.760 Because I don't know what's going to happen, but I'll tell you for sure it's going to be unpredictable.
00:19:11.560 And while I, let me say as clearly as possible, I don't recommend any violence.
00:19:18.520 All right?
00:19:19.500 I'll say that as clearly as possible.
00:19:21.860 No violence.
00:19:23.460 But I wouldn't advocate against it.
00:19:27.100 I mean, if the shit went down, I'm taking the day off.
00:19:32.480 Yeah.
00:19:33.160 Because you know I'm one of the people who could maybe help to stop it.
00:19:36.480 Because I'm a public figure.
00:19:38.340 And I could be saying, stop it, stop it.
00:19:41.560 Nope.
00:19:42.460 If Trump goes to jail for one day, I'm going radio silent.
00:19:47.460 And I recommend you do the same.
00:19:50.300 If Trump goes to jail for one day, the day he goes in, stop using all of your electronic devices.
00:20:00.900 That's all.
00:20:01.700 Just stop using all of them.
00:20:02.800 All right.

00:21:09.400 So, apparently, Rich Noyes, he's a contributing editor for MRC Newsbusters, he did an analysis of how often the regular news, you know, the ABCs and NBCs and CBSs,
00:21:25.220 how often do they tell their viewers that the prosecutors against Trump are all Democrats?
00:21:34.120 Don't you think that's important?
00:21:37.200 Yeah, his name is Rich Noyes.
00:21:39.400 That's right.
00:21:42.180 Richard Noyes.
00:21:45.940 They could have called him Dick, because his name is Richard.
00:21:50.320 But they don't want to call him Dick Noyes, because if you introduced yourself as Dick Noyes, people would say,
00:21:58.420 what's that sound like?
00:22:00.680 You're talking about when you're banging it on the side of the urinal?
00:22:04.500 What kind of Dick Noyes are we talking about?
00:22:07.000 That's what would happen.
00:22:07.940 So, he goes by Rich.
00:22:11.720 You know what a Rich Noyes sounds like?
00:22:14.620 Here's what a Rich Noyes sounds like.
00:22:17.960 Oh, this isn't the best caviar.
00:22:21.400 That's a Rich Noyes.
00:22:22.500 Anyway, he found out that these news entities are all gaslighting their public, because if
00:22:30.880 you don't tell them these are all Democrats going after Trump, you're acting like there are
00:22:36.060 actually crimes involved that people care about.
00:22:39.280 There are not crimes involved that people really care about.
00:22:42.060 Well, unless Israel has done something in the last half hour that I don't know about, they're still planning to hit back. 0.76
00:22:56.420 They're planning a, quote, offensive and defensive action against Iran.
00:23:02.240 And some say the Middle East is going into crisis mode.
00:23:06.040 What do you think is going to happen over there?
00:23:08.620 What's your best guess?
00:23:09.820 Does it seem like they'll just do more theater?
00:23:13.880 Oh, I'll pretend to hit some of your assets.
00:23:18.240 You'll give us lots of warnings.
00:23:20.100 We can shoot down your slow-moving drones.
00:23:22.420 Like, it's all just theater.
00:23:26.920 Like, literally, just like they're acting.
00:23:30.020 But what happens if it goes beyond that?
00:23:33.480 Well, we don't know.
00:23:35.080 Things could get dicey there.
00:23:37.300 Some say that Iran already used up all its good weapons on that one night of strikes.
00:23:43.320 Do you think that's true?
00:23:45.220 Do you think Iran used up all of its good stuff on that one night? 0.50
00:23:49.440 And that's basically all they have?
00:23:51.260 They have other stuff, but it's not positioned where it could reach Israel.
00:23:56.620 I don't know.
00:23:57.380 I don't believe those stories.
00:23:58.860 We don't know what they have and what they don't have.
00:24:01.540 But here's my recommendation.
00:24:04.180 I think Israel should make Iran take full responsibility for Gaza. 0.99
00:24:12.780 It's the you broke it, you bought it situation.
00:24:15.040 Because if it was Iran, and they're sure Iran's backing is what caused Hamas to be so aggressive, 0.95
00:24:23.000 then I think Iran should be feeding the refugees. 0.92
00:24:28.400 Imagine, if you will, we'll just game this out.
00:24:30.960 This won't happen, but we'll just game it out.
00:24:32.680 Imagine if Israel said, we care about the refugees, but the responsibility for feeding them, 1.00
00:24:41.380 we're talking about the Gaza refugees, the responsibility for feeding them has to be the responsibility for the people who broke it. 0.70
00:24:49.340 And that's Iran. 0.88
00:24:51.300 So you could say, hey, Iran, we will open up all of the travel channels and security,
00:24:58.240 and you can bring in as much food and medical supplies as you want.
00:25:02.300 We'll check it to make sure there's no weapons.
00:25:04.100 But you can bring in all you want, and you can feed these people you care about so much.
00:25:09.380 We're not going to do it.
00:25:11.400 So if you don't feed them, they're going to starve.
00:25:15.240 And we weren't feeding them before.
00:25:18.620 So other people were giving aid to Gaza, et cetera.
00:25:23.380 So Iran, if you want to feed them, go ahead. 0.99
00:25:25.900 But we're not going to spend a penny.
00:25:28.180 But they'll starve.
00:25:30.040 No, they won't, because Iran can feed them.
00:25:32.360 And if Iran is their sponsor, and if the sponsorship went bad, as it did, that's Iran's problem. 0.57
00:25:40.380 But I would take another page out of Governor Abbott's book,
00:25:47.140 and I would tell Iran that they're going to have to take the Gaza refugees. 1.00
00:25:52.580 Now, you can't quite bus them, because it's not exactly a direct bus route from Israel to Iran.
00:25:59.660 But you could say, this is the plan.
00:26:01.840 You know, we might have to ship them by ship or something.
00:26:04.980 But the idea is that they will be resettled in Iran.
00:26:08.900 And just say, that's your policy.
00:26:11.160 Just say, this is our policy.
00:26:13.280 All the refugees will be resettled in Iran. 0.91
00:26:16.100 Now, it's crazy talk, right?
00:26:18.480 It's never going to happen.
00:26:19.520 I know.
00:26:21.080 But here's the thing.
00:26:22.720 Here's one thing we all agree on.
00:26:24.220 If you don't break the business model of letting in another country stir up trouble for your neighbors, 1.00
00:26:32.820 if you let that happen, they're just going to keep doing it.
00:26:35.860 So you have to break the business model.
00:26:38.360 You have to make sure that Iran has to take care of all the refugees, 1.00
00:26:42.980 because they're the ones that broke that situation.
00:26:45.440 It doesn't seem like it should be Israel's problem, because they're not the ones that broke it. 0.59
00:26:52.060 Am I wrong?
00:26:53.480 If you broke it, you bought it.
00:26:55.120 And I think Iran broke it.
00:26:56.440 So I think they've got to pay for it.
00:27:01.300 Yeah.
00:27:02.060 And I would say the same thing about Hezbollah, except they're a little better armed. 0.83
00:27:06.880 A different situation up there.
00:27:11.420 So if I were Israel, I would say we're just going to take Gaza forever. 0.99
00:27:15.340 That's the reparations.
00:27:18.120 And I would call it reparations.
00:27:19.620 I would say we're we've we've spent so much money defending ourself from Gaza. 0.98
00:27:28.320 Which is really defending ourself from Iran. 0.99
00:27:31.660 That we're going to charge Iran reparations and we're going to charge it in the in the in the form of just keeping Gaza and just making an Israeli land. 0.85
00:27:44.600 So I think that's what they they're probably going to do something close to that, but not exactly that.
00:27:51.060 That's my prediction.
00:27:52.680 I don't see Gaza ever going back to a an Iranian controlled situation. 0.65
00:27:59.100 And the only way to prevent that is to not let those residents residents back. 0.99
00:28:05.920 Now, would that be a worse problem and cause more wars and stuff?
00:28:11.120 I don't know.
00:28:12.340 Everything you do there doesn't work.
00:28:14.600 So if you do the same things you were doing before, that would be the crazy part.
00:28:19.160 If you try something as radical as, you know, shipping all the refugees to Iran and saying you broke it, you bought it. 1.00
00:28:26.500 I doubt they could get away with that.
00:28:29.400 But what they're doing now isn't working.
00:28:31.860 So you can get a lot more flexible when everything else doesn't work.
00:28:35.340 And I remind you that I'm not speaking from a pro Israel perspective, because as long as the ADL has me as their enemy, I can't support Israel.
00:28:48.300 I'm just describing, just describing what the options are.
00:28:52.120 How is Speaker Mike Johnson's going to push for aid to Israel and Ukraine?
00:29:01.820 I don't know.
00:29:02.740 I just can't get past the fact that if you lump those two things together, you're not working for the people.
00:29:08.520 Can we all agree?
00:29:10.560 If the government was working for the people, it would be two votes instead of one.
00:29:18.680 So clearly they know they don't have enough support for either one.
00:29:23.620 So they're going to make us eat two things we don't want to eat because we weren't willing to vote on them separately and vote them down.
00:29:32.580 So instead of voting them both down, we'll have to eat both of them because they'll put them together.
00:29:37.160 Now, they're doing this right in front of us.
00:29:40.260 And that's not impeachable?
00:29:41.940 Well, I'm sure it's not impeachable.
00:29:46.200 But don't you think that the Speaker of the House should lose his job if he tries to combine those two votes?
00:29:52.440 To me, that's a job-losing situation.
00:29:55.220 You cannot be considered credible if you're playing that game.
00:29:59.700 So one of the ways that laws get made is by tricks.
00:30:07.780 Tricks.
00:30:08.300 So let me describe our system of government right now.
00:30:11.940 A lot of people, and by people I mean idiots, believe that our system of government has something to do with the will of the voters.
00:30:24.020 How many of you think the will of the voters is really even an important variable in our system?
00:30:31.820 You know it's not in the top 15, right?
00:30:37.020 It's not nothing.
00:30:38.700 But it's not in the top 15.
00:30:41.940 So let me tell you some things that are.
00:30:45.720 Well, one of those is this trick I just talked about, where they use a little trick to make the public accept two things they don't want,
00:30:54.620 because they couldn't sell you them one at a time.
00:30:58.140 So one of the things that makes law is when the public doesn't want it, the politicians can make you have it anyway by a trick,
00:31:06.280 by just combining things.
00:31:09.220 Is that the will of the people or is that the opposite?
00:31:11.920 That is the opposite of the will of the people.
00:31:14.520 And they're doing it right in front of you.
00:31:16.660 So what did your vote do?
00:31:18.700 What was the point of your vote?
00:31:21.320 None.
00:31:22.400 None.
00:31:22.960 They can just do a trick to remove your ability to influence the government.
00:31:27.740 They just put these two things together.
00:31:29.980 Trick.
00:31:30.280 All right.
00:31:31.180 Here are the other things that are affecting the outcomes.
00:31:35.240 All of these are more important than your vote.
00:31:39.520 All of them.
00:31:41.620 Gerrymandering.
00:31:42.980 The artificial way they say, you know, which leader is related to which people in the population.
00:31:49.400 That's totally gamed.
00:31:51.280 Now, I'm not saying it's gamed in one direction.
00:31:53.880 Both sides do it.
00:31:54.800 But this has nothing to do with the will of the people.
00:31:58.180 If you gerrymander, the point of it is to remove the will of the people.
00:32:03.300 Isn't it?
00:32:04.520 That's the point of it.
00:32:05.880 So that the people can't decide.
00:32:08.660 How about the current illegal migration?
00:32:13.800 It seems that that has a very big intention, anyway, of changing the outcome.
00:32:20.740 How much of that had to do with the will of the voters?
00:32:23.240 None.
00:32:24.480 None.
00:32:25.780 None.
00:32:26.700 That has nothing to do with the will of the voters.
00:32:28.560 It's just where whoever's in charge decides to put these migrants or wherever they end up. 0.74
00:32:34.460 How about the lobbyists?
00:32:36.440 Of course, the lobbyists are the biggest influence.
00:32:38.500 They actually write a lot of the legislation.
00:32:41.040 Are the lobbyists the will of the people?
00:32:42.860 No, they're the obvious.
00:32:44.060 They're the opposite.
00:32:45.860 The lobbyists are almost entirely to thwart the will of the people.
00:32:50.540 And they're probably the biggest effect.
00:32:52.380 How about the fake fact-checkers so that the voters don't know what's real?
00:32:57.900 That has a big effect because they don't fact-check the obvious hoaxes.
00:33:02.460 How about the brainwashing from the news entities?
00:33:05.280 For example, the example I gave you earlier, where the regular news, the corporate news, doesn't tell you that Trump is being chased entirely by Democrats in the lawfare.
00:33:16.740 If they don't tell you that, you're being brainwashed.
00:33:20.360 If you don't know that fine people hoax is a hoax, etc., you're being brainwashed.
00:33:26.060 That's a much bigger effect than voting.
00:33:29.120 Social media manipulation, the jiggering of the algorithms, the intel people, and the FBI putting their thumb on the scale.
00:33:40.680 That's still happening outside of acts, and that's a way bigger effect than voting.
00:33:47.140 How about the search engine manipulation?
00:33:49.420 Dr. Epstein showed us that Google can change what outcomes you get on your search, and that can totally change your opinion and your voting patterns.
00:33:59.140 Way more important than voter opinions is that they're brainwashed.
00:34:05.440 How about the canceling of critics, the intentional targeting and canceling of people who are unusually persuasive?
00:34:14.540 Well, that, again, takes the power away from the voters because the voters don't get to hear two sides.
00:34:22.860 That's, if you take out one side, it's glitching now, of course.
00:34:30.680 How about the military-industrial complex?
00:34:32.900 You don't think that we have wars because that bunch has lobbyists and they can make money?
00:34:38.500 Of course.
00:34:39.580 Do you think any of our wars are because we wanted them?
00:34:42.420 No.
00:34:42.960 The will of the people has nothing to do with anything.
00:34:45.480 It's the people who can profit from it.
00:34:47.480 How about the deep state or the permanent Washington, the people who thwart anything that the public wants?
00:34:55.740 They're way more important than the voters.
00:34:58.200 They have way more power.
00:34:59.460 How about all this lawfare, this lawfare trying to remove the top candidate of 40% of the public?
00:35:07.260 Is that something that's for the will of the people?
00:35:11.780 No.
00:35:12.660 This is to thwart the will of the people.
00:35:14.780 How about the gaming of election laws?
00:35:19.320 The Mark Elias stuff where they change the election laws and, hey, it's a pandemic.
00:35:24.880 We better change these laws.
00:35:26.300 And what about the mail-in ballots?
00:35:29.560 I would say the mail-in ballots have a lot more to do with the outcome than your voter preference.
00:35:36.360 How about blackmail?
00:35:38.940 How much do you think blackmail, by our intelligence people and anybody else, foreign powers, whatever, how much do you think blackmail influences our laws and policies?
00:35:52.220 I think a lot and probably always has.
00:35:55.720 So what's that got to do with the will of the people?
00:35:58.120 Nothing.
00:35:58.900 That's somebody getting blackmailed.
00:36:00.240 How about when the intel people take a Mike Johnson into the skiff and they say we've got all kinds of secrets, you can't tell anybody, and we can't tell you how we got the secrets, but you better do what we say because everything will blow up otherwise.
00:36:15.940 Does that have anything to do with the will of the people?
00:36:18.240 No, that's the intel people completely owning the government.
00:36:24.320 What about all the national hoaxes that are run by some combination of our intel people colluding with the Democrats, colluding with the corporate press?
00:36:33.720 We have a hoaxocracy, if anything, that most of what we believe to be true is literally a hoax run by one side or the other.
00:36:43.700 Now, most of the good hoaxes come from the left, the organized ones.
00:36:47.200 The right has its own conspiracy theories and hoaxes, but they usually bubble up from the bottom, so it looks different.
00:36:54.980 What about the book deals and board seats after office?
00:36:59.020 You think somebody gets a book deal that's like way bigger than the market usually would pay or they get this juicy board seat after they've been in office?
00:37:08.520 You don't think that they do anything while they're in office to guarantee they get that big book deal or get that corporate thing?
00:37:15.360 Well, we don't know.
00:37:16.220 Well, what I do know is none of that would have anything to do with the will of the voters.
00:37:22.360 How about the fact that schools and colleges are literally brainwashing people to turn them into citizens who don't know what's going on or how anything works?
00:37:34.220 That has way more to do with the electoral outcome than the will of the people.
00:37:38.660 And you know what I didn't even count?
00:37:43.020 None of that included the possibility, unproven by any court, that the elections are rigged after all of that.
00:37:51.660 I wouldn't know, and you wouldn't know either.
00:37:55.080 Nope.
00:37:55.380 Do you know what, let's see, somebody in the DNC said.
00:38:02.500 Some person in the, not DNC, the Republican National Committee, the Republican National Committee guy, Michael Watley.
00:38:14.260 So Rasmussen is talking about this.
00:38:16.220 So last week, a Republican National Committee said, quote,
00:38:20.680 You've got to have observers and attorneys in the room when the votes are being cast and when the votes are being counted.
00:38:28.140 Wait, why is that important?
00:38:29.440 Why is it important for the Republicans that they have a Republican in the room when the votes and attorneys and attorneys in the room when the votes are being cast and when they're being counted?
00:38:43.200 Why would a Republican need that if the elections are fair?
00:38:47.980 Why would you need witnesses for a fair election?
00:38:53.100 Now, what I think he means is they better include Republicans or you're in trouble.
00:38:57.560 Why would somebody who knows so much about the election system say that you couldn't trust the outcome unless Republicans were in every room?
00:39:08.580 Is this not telling us that we can't tell who voted?
00:39:13.180 That's how I hear it.
00:39:14.900 I hear that somebody who's in the position to know is telling me directly that we don't have enough witnesses in the room to even be sure the vote was counted and it was a fair election.
00:39:28.560 How in the world did the public get sold on the idea that we even know if our elections are fair?
00:39:35.060 The system is not designed so you could even know.
00:39:40.300 This problem that I'm talking about where you have to have the witnesses in the room, why would you need the witnesses if you could catch it in a recount or an audit?
00:39:50.760 Right?
00:39:51.660 Wouldn't you catch it in the recount?
00:39:53.180 So why does he think you wouldn't catch it?
00:39:57.760 Well, suppose you just threw away some of the boxes.
00:40:03.640 Just throw them away.
00:40:05.260 Who would know that?
00:40:06.820 I don't know that anybody would know that.
00:40:08.640 Do you think that the audit has a good chain of custody?
00:40:12.180 I think we learned that the chain of custody basically doesn't exist, at least in large parts.
00:40:19.360 So let me read this fast.
00:40:26.260 So these are all the things in our system that are more important than the will of the people.
00:40:31.160 Gerrymandering, illegal migration patterns, lobbyists, fake fact checkers, brainwashing from the hoaxy news, social media manipulation, search engine manipulation, canceling critics, the military industrial complex, the deep state permanent Washington lawfare, gaming of election laws, intelligence, blackmailing operations, Intel influencing using top secrets, national hoaxes run by the Intel, book deals and board seats after office, school and college indoctrinization.
00:40:56.160 And may be cheating.
00:41:00.660 How in the world do you think you live in some kind of voter driven process?
00:41:05.900 There's nothing like that happening.
00:41:07.520 Not even close.
00:41:11.160 Well, I've been chasing down this mystery of why it is that we keep seeing stories of voters moving toward Trump, but we don't see stories of them moving toward Biden.
00:41:23.100 And yet the election is narrowing.
00:41:27.060 So how can it be that Trump was way ahead in some polls?
00:41:31.240 More people were moving toward Trump.
00:41:34.160 And yet the election was narrowing.
00:41:36.740 So that would mean somebody is moving toward Biden.
00:41:40.600 Who would that be?
00:41:41.720 Well, according to NPR and.
00:41:43.480 Who else?
00:41:46.940 At least one other place.
00:41:49.160 It's college educated.
00:41:51.940 White voters.
00:41:54.440 College educated white voters and mostly men, but also women are moving heavily in Biden's direction.
00:42:02.780 Do you believe that college educated men are moving heavily in Biden's direction?
00:42:08.320 And it says older ones, specifically older.
00:42:15.480 Does that sound real?
00:42:17.880 Has anybody noticed that in the real world?
00:42:21.560 Has anybody noticed any older college educated man who used to be Trump and is now moving toward Biden?
00:42:30.200 Has anybody heard of even one example of that?
00:42:34.300 Because I've not.
00:42:35.500 Doesn't it feel like we're being set up?
00:42:40.740 Like they're telling us some demographic is moving.
00:42:45.120 But we don't know anybody.
00:42:47.520 We don't know anybody in that demographic who's moved.
00:42:50.620 Not one person.
00:42:51.960 If you said to me, Scott, do you know any black voters who have moved toward Trump?
00:42:58.380 I would say, yeah, actually.
00:43:00.280 I've seen a bunch of stories about it.
00:43:02.880 And on social media.
00:43:04.540 Very common.
00:43:06.360 Hispanic.
00:43:07.380 Yes.
00:43:07.680 I've seen interviews.
00:43:09.160 People on the street.
00:43:10.520 Yeah.
00:43:11.520 But I have not seen even one anecdotal case of somebody moving in the other direction.
00:43:17.760 Not one.
00:43:19.260 Now, is that because I'm in a bubble?
00:43:22.240 Because it seems like the, you know, at least CNN and MSNBC, they would want to have these focus groups on every day.
00:43:29.920 Saying, look at all these college educated people moving toward Biden.
00:43:34.520 You know what I mean?
00:43:35.420 Oh, those experienced, college educated white people.
00:43:40.600 They're the ones who are paying attention.
00:43:43.100 They're moving toward Biden.
00:43:44.020 Don't you think they'd tell us that story if it were real?
00:43:46.240 If it were real, there would be examples of it all over the place.
00:43:50.560 Because they would use it to try to convince people to do more of it.
00:43:53.900 I don't know for sure.
00:43:57.140 But it looks like we're being totally gaslit here.
00:44:00.780 It looks like they're pretending there's a big demographic change that I don't think is necessarily happening.
00:44:07.420 But if it is happening, it would suggest that college educated men are the easiest people to fool.
00:44:15.940 Do you think college educated men are the easiest to fool?
00:44:20.300 Well, college educated people are.
00:44:23.220 Because they believe that they learned the truth.
00:44:26.440 If you didn't go to college and you weren't told that you'd been taught the truth,
00:44:30.660 you'd probably say, well, I don't know.
00:44:32.380 I'll just look at this myself.
00:44:36.360 Yeah.
00:44:38.160 So I think that being college educated can give you a blind spot.
00:44:42.940 Makes you think you actually know what's going on.
00:44:45.540 When probably it just means that you are subject to much deeper brainwashing than other people.
00:44:52.660 But you walk away from the experience thinking you're the smart one.
00:44:56.460 Not knowing that you're the most brainwashed person in all of the country.
00:45:00.860 And that your intelligence won't help you at all if you're brainwashed.
00:45:05.300 Won't help you a bit.
00:45:06.280 Not even a little bit.
00:45:07.980 That's how brainwashing works. 1.00
00:45:10.260 It does not have anything to do with intelligence or even knowledge.
00:45:14.840 All right.
00:45:15.440 So we're learning more about the CEO of NPR, Catherine Marr.
00:45:23.060 So I've seen a number of her posts from the past, your tweets and stuff.
00:45:27.800 And she's seriously anti-white. 1.00
00:45:31.820 She's really anti-white.
00:45:33.180 And it's funny because yesterday I did a comic about Dave, the engineer.
00:45:37.920 So Dave, the engineer in the Dilbert Reborn comic that you can only see on the X platform if you're a subscriber or on Scott Adams.locals.com where you see the comic plus lots of other things.
00:45:48.060 That's my commercial.
00:45:50.060 But Dave, the engineer on Sunday yesterday, he was complaining about racism in the office.
00:45:57.800 But when he got down to the details, the racism that Dave, the black engineer, was complaining about is that all the white people seem to be racist against themselves.
00:46:08.200 And he was finding it creepy.
00:46:11.440 So it's just kind of creepy.
00:46:13.000 All the white people here seem to be racist against themselves.
00:46:16.740 And that's exactly what Catherine Marr is. 1.00
00:46:19.500 She's literally racist against herself. 0.93
00:46:22.580 And she keeps posting super racist things about white people, of which she is one.
00:46:30.220 So yeah, being racist against yourself is a real thing now.
00:46:33.000 So Biden's going to gaslight us on some kind of executive order about asylum laws.
00:46:40.680 And then you're going to think that Biden did something about the border.
00:46:47.300 But apparently all he's going to do is change the, if he does anything, it looks like what they're talking about is maybe changing the asylum standards to make it more difficult
00:46:59.080 to get asylum status.
00:47:04.420 What do you think that would look like in the real world?
00:47:07.780 Here's what I think.
00:47:10.180 Anybody can still apply for it.
00:47:13.040 That's what I think.
00:47:14.760 Anybody can still apply for it.
00:47:16.600 If you apply for it, you still have to have a hearing.
00:47:21.480 And the hearing happens later, long after you've been released into the country.
00:47:27.180 So suppose the only thing he changes is the standards for asylum.
00:47:33.640 Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would make no difference at all.
00:47:37.420 Because they're all fake asylum seekers, but they're not going to go to court to get an actual asylum answer. 0.99
00:47:43.500 They're just going to stay in the country once they get in. 1.00
00:47:46.020 So it looks like right in front of us, they're going to do some kind of play where they say, oh, we did this executive order and we changed the standard for asylum seeking.
00:48:00.100 And it won't make any difference to the number of people coming in because they all just say, well, we'll figure that out when we have the hearing that I'll never go to sometime three years from now.
00:48:10.180 So this is our actual government doing this to us.
00:48:15.340 Amazing.
00:48:18.540 Well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that was all I want to talk about today.
00:48:25.360 Until something happens with Israel and Iran, probably it's going to be a slow news day.
00:48:29.980 But we'll check in on the Stormy Daniels stuff.
00:48:33.940 And I'm still blown away by the fact that at one point Stormy Daniels wrote a letter denying that she had ever had sex with Trump.
00:48:43.860 That's real, right?
00:48:45.840 Now, she must have, you know, she must have debunked her own letter at some point in the process.
00:48:52.040 But the fact that it ever existed, that it ever existed, that she said, I never had sex with him.
00:49:02.140 Don't you think that should be enough?
00:49:05.820 That he wasn't really paying for her to stay quiet.
00:49:10.480 He was paying for her to not make trouble.
00:49:13.180 And how is that not a legitimate campaign expense?
00:49:17.660 If the campaign is paying his legal bills, well, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:49:22.040 Is the campaign paying his legal bills?
00:49:24.440 It is, right?
00:49:27.880 If it's legal for the campaign to pay the legal bills,
00:49:31.500 why would it not be legal to ask somebody to be quiet about an alleged affair that at one point she claimed didn't happen anyway?
00:49:42.920 She actually repeated it several times that she never had sex with him.
00:49:47.840 Okay.
00:49:50.140 But if she ever took that back, I don't know.
00:49:53.980 But at the moment she's saying she did, right?
00:49:56.840 Her current position is that she did.
00:50:02.180 Or is it current position that she didn't?
00:50:04.580 And they're going to do the case anyway.
00:50:06.380 She broke the contract.
00:50:13.620 You know what would be an amazing play?
00:50:18.540 I would like Stormy Daniels to reach an agreement with Trump that she would be the press secretary
00:50:25.640 and in return for dropping the charges.
00:50:33.380 Is that legal?
00:50:34.380 No.
00:50:36.380 Is it legal to offer her a job? 0.99
00:50:40.260 I actually don't know.
00:50:42.080 If it's a real job and it's done publicly, is it legal?
00:50:48.020 Would that be a bribe?
00:50:51.820 I don't know.
00:50:53.880 But I think this is the weakest of all the cases, wouldn't you say?
00:50:58.660 Do any of the cases have any real risk to Trump at this point?
00:51:03.660 Is there anybody who knows what they're talking about, which would not be me?
00:51:06.860 Is there anything that Trump is involved with now that looks like a real risk?
00:51:13.940 I feel like they've slapped down enough of the lawfare that whatever's left is going to be trivial.
00:51:26.760 Also, Trump did not authorize payment.
00:51:29.560 Well, I don't know if that's going to stand up.
00:51:34.080 Because Cohen is going to say that he did, right?
00:51:46.740 A hush money trial?
00:51:48.700 Yeah, I don't think any of the cases are going to put him in jail.
00:51:58.780 She's ordered to pay for his...
00:52:00.700 So Stormy, at one point, was ordered to pay for his lawyer costs.
00:52:05.180 I think that's amazing.
00:52:09.100 Dershowitz says they have nothing.
00:52:11.280 So Dershowitz says none of the cases are going to amount to anything, right?
00:52:20.860 All right.
00:52:24.220 Offer a bounty.
00:52:29.100 I was just looking at your comments here.
00:52:31.680 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to talk to the locals' people privately.
00:52:36.320 I'm going to say goodbye to X and YouTube and Rumble.
00:52:41.360 And just talk to the subscribers.
00:52:44.020 And thanks for joining.
00:52:44.900 We'll see you tomorrow in the same place.
00:52:46.840 Maybe there'll be more news next time.
00:52:49.940 Bye for now.
