A new study says that marijuana users are smarter than non-users, Tucker Carlson says there's no evidence of evolution, only adaptation, and fake news. Plus, a tip about fake news, and why scientists don't believe in evolution.
00:01:29.320You're going to say, but Scott, why is it that when the study is something you don't want to hear, you always say, it's probably a correlation and not a causation.
00:01:41.300But when it's something that you do want to hear, oh, suddenly it's all causation.
00:01:48.220Do you know why I know that you're thinking that?
00:02:27.960And if it was good enough for people to think that for thousands of years before science, well, it's good enough after science, too, says Tucker.
00:02:36.700Now, and he says there's no evidence of evolution, only adaptation.
00:02:41.840Now, if you only saw the news that comes from the traditional news, do you think that's true?
00:02:52.820Do you believe that there is evidence of evolution or, as Tucker says, there's no evidence of evolution, only adaptation?
00:03:02.820Well, I'm not going to have that argument, but I will tell you, well, let me put it this way.
00:03:11.160Well, I've seen claims that evolution has not proven, you know, long documentaries.
00:03:18.200I've seen the interviews with people who claimed it, but I can't evaluate either claim.
00:03:23.720So, I'm not really qualified to evaluate that.
00:03:28.320But I'm going to tell you about fake news.
00:03:31.680So, because of the story about Tucker saying he doesn't believe in evolution, I saw a comment on the X platform that if you saw, you would probably believe.
00:03:41.860So, it's just from a user, Eric Oskin.
00:03:44.940And Eric commented on Tucker's comment and said this, I feel like Tucker's confidence in this may come from listening to Scott Adams, who, despite the many smart things he says, also regularly claims that, quote, and this is put in quotes so you know that I said it, scientists no longer believe Darwin's theory of evolution, unquote.
00:04:10.660So, those of you who have been following me for years and years, do you believe that I ever said this thing in quotes, scientists no longer believe Darwin's theory of evolution?
00:04:25.220Have any of you ever heard me say that?
00:04:27.040Because according to Eric, I say that on a regular basis.
00:05:25.300Here's what I mean by scientific terms.
00:05:27.340One of the things that science accepts is probability and math that's sort of assumed to be, you know, critical parts of science.
00:05:38.100And based on what we understand about the simulation theory and the Elon Musk math on that, that if it's possible to ever do it, there will be lots of simulations.
00:05:49.300So the odds of you being in a simulation will be, you know, a trillion to one or a billion to one against you being an original species.
00:05:57.180Now, if we're a simulation, then that means that anything we thought about or history is just made up.
00:06:02.660So that's my view, that evolution exists within the model of our illusions, but it doesn't exist in the actual base reality.
00:06:13.560It's just something we create on demand.
00:06:15.780So in my view, the fossil is not in the dirt until you start digging for it.
00:06:22.640If nobody's ever seen it, it doesn't exist until you dig for it.
00:06:27.480So I think the past is created by the present and that the odds are, I don't know, I'd say a trillion to one, maybe, maybe a billion to one, that we are a simulation.
00:06:37.360And if we're a simulation, then evolution doesn't even make sense.
00:06:42.040You know, everything else doesn't make sense either.
00:06:46.760So, do you remember Gelman theory or Gelman amnesia?
00:06:52.580And that's the theory that if you know something personal about a story, you know it's fake.
00:06:57.680But if you didn't know it personally, you'd think it's true.
00:07:01.940So here's this user on the X platform who calls me out by name, says I've done things multiple times, which makes you think it's not misunderstood.
00:07:14.580Because if you did something multiple times, it's not a misunderstanding, right?
00:07:33.460Self-driving cars are probably coming faster than you think.
00:07:36.680So now Mercedes has an agreement in California, but only in California, that there's a new kind of Mercedes with a self-driving feature that you don't need to pay attention to.
00:07:51.680So I think that's the first car with a steering wheel.
00:07:57.480You know, that's meant to be sometimes driven and sometimes self-driving, that you can actually not pay attention to.
00:08:05.100So legally, depending on what streets you're on, it'll tell you you don't have to pay attention, basically.
00:08:17.260So at this point, we've got the Waymo self-driving cars.
00:08:21.960We've got Tesla's full self-driving FSD.
00:08:26.840And in California, the Mercedes on some but not all streets are completely self-driving.
00:08:35.040Now, as Elon said recently, it only makes sense from a business perspective to go balls to the wall, using his phrase, to go balls to the wall on self-driving.
00:08:46.500Because there's no way, yeah, there's no way it's not going to be self-driving.
00:10:25.360All right, Bindu Reddy on X is telling us that the age of robots is here.
00:10:33.840The robots that will have the AI brains and can do everything from use a laptop to wash dishes and make coffee.
00:10:43.300So basically, the new robots will just need to be trained in anything, and they'll be able to do it.
00:10:49.500So if any robot learns it, it can teach the other robots right away.
00:10:52.960And apparently, there will be a whole bunch of robot companies that are popping up in the next year, and you'll see your first, like, real, real robot in two to three years.
00:11:29.660That maybe in five years, having a household robot could be as normal as having, let's say, two cars.
00:11:38.200Not something everybody will be able to afford, but if you looked at the number of people who could afford two cars, it might be similar to that, or two TVs.
00:11:48.800I don't know what these robots are going to cost.
00:11:50.700The first ones are going to be pretty expensive, but I think it's going to be like LED TVs.
00:11:56.040I think in eight years, a robot's going to be $1,500.
00:11:59.380And then how do you not get one if you can afford it?
00:12:05.340There's a new push by scientists who studied animals and insects, and a bunch of researchers are citing a declaration that animals have consciousness.
00:12:15.240And then maybe even insects and fish and all those other things, including crabs and lobsters and mollusks and squids and everything.
00:12:24.580They all have a, quote, realistic possibility of consciousness.
00:12:27.420So, what does this tell you is maybe shaping up?
00:12:33.880So, at the same time that robots with AI are becoming a practical commercial product, these researchers are looking at mollusks and crabs and lobsters and determine that they have a realistic possibility of being conscious.
00:13:08.860But there will be an argument about whether the AI is conscious.
00:13:13.680And part of the reason that you argue with this is because there's no single definition of consciousness.
00:13:19.340But I'll tell you the definition I think is most useful.
00:13:23.500I would say something is conscious if it can do the following things, which AI could do.
00:13:28.720Can't do it yet, but it would be fairly trivial to make it do it.
00:13:32.580It would be that current AI just executes whatever its patterns tell it to do.
00:13:40.200But it could also, fairly easily, come to a decision of what it's going to say or do and then evaluate the decision and make a prediction about how it'll turn out.
00:13:50.600As in, if I say this thing that my pattern machine told me to say, I predict that the human will be upset or happy or elated or something.
00:15:24.500Our brains are growing 7% in size, but our IQ has dropped since the 30s.
00:15:29.840Do you think we can really measure our IQ drop?
00:15:36.400Do you think you can measure the average IQ drop from the 30s?
00:15:42.620Is there something missing from that story?
00:15:44.620Because in the 30s, you had access to a certain group of people to measure.
00:15:51.760And in the current day, you would be measuring a very different group of people because of immigration.
00:15:57.500So unless you knew the baseline of all the people before they migrated, doing a before and after in the United States would be silly because it would be ignoring one of the biggest factors for IQ, which is genetics.
00:16:28.600ABC News is reporting that a lot of the companies that are buying into ESG, you know, the climate commitments, that a lot of them have made climate commitments.
00:16:39.960But just one thing wrong with all the climate commitments, that the over half of the 2,000, no, a little over half of the 2,000 biggest companies in the world, they've made pledges to achieve net zero carbon emissions.
00:16:58.060Half of the biggest companies, and the biggest companies have the biggest impact, of course, but half of the biggest companies have adopted pledges to achieve net zero carbon emissions.
00:17:09.960Do you know it's the one wrinkle with those pledges?

00:21:36.160So, Peter Schweitzer is telling us the fentanyl business is, it's all a Chinese Communist Party plot, and that the guy that the Treasury, our U.S. Department of Treasury sanctioned as a Chinese mafia leader behind the fentanyl.
00:21:57.180So, we told China's leadership who their big fentanyl dealer was, by name, right?
00:23:30.520Because otherwise we would move against the cartels in a strong way, that even if it didn't work, you could see it on the news every day.
00:23:38.040If the United States were not in the fentanyl business with the cartels, you would hear stories like this.
00:23:45.660A big cartel place was hit by drones yesterday.
00:23:52.320Or the U.S. is trying to get the Mexican military to act upon this, you know, this cartel headquarters.
00:24:01.380We can't get them to do it, but we want to.
00:24:03.220The stories would be completely different if the United States were not, obviously, the ones running the fentanyl business, or at least participating in it.
00:24:13.080So, if you have a kid, let me give you this advice.
00:24:49.160The cartels have weaponized chemical warfare on drones, and they're using it in their local fights against the other cartels and people they don't like.
00:25:02.940Now, combine this with open immigration, and we know that our enemies, let's say Iran and China, have probably put their agents in every American city, and they all have access to drones.
00:25:16.080And now we know that it's practical, because the cartels have tried and succeeded in dropping chemical agents.
00:25:24.080It shouldn't be long before you see a massive attack where all of our major cities simultaneously have chemical drone attacks.
00:25:32.900But probably only by some country that's in a bind.
00:25:38.120Like, if the Iranian leadership looked like it was going to fall, I think there would be a major drone gas attack in major cities, because they're probably already set up to do it.
00:26:33.420Apparently, the January 6th people, I think I told you this, are afraid that if Trump gets elected, the January 6th committee, the corrupt committee that was hiding exculpatory information about Trump, that they're afraid of going to jail.
00:26:48.800I guess Adam Schiff has said that you can't avoid the conversations of what if, and he has to think about his personal safety.
00:26:58.960Now, Adam Schiff should definitely be in jail.
00:27:03.120If there's one person who has proven over and over again he's an enemy of the country, it's Adam Schiff.
00:27:09.860He literally went into the SCIF and told the country that he saw evidence there was Russia collusion.
00:27:41.120And I think the entire January 6th committee, based on what we know, that's been fairly well demonstrated, that it was obviously political, and they were obviously hiding exculpatory facts.
00:27:55.580Now, under those conditions, since they were trying to get somebody else in trouble and change the nature of the government, and basically it was a coup.
00:28:04.140So, whatever you would do for sedition, insurrection, coups, that should be the penalty.
00:28:10.880And I think that they're some of the worst criminals in the United States.
00:28:50.960It's an attack on how our economy works.
00:28:53.620Now, this is what I call word thinking, meaning that you think you said something rational and logical because the words make sense in a sentence.
00:29:07.280But I'm here to tell you that that's all that happened.
00:29:10.760These were just words in a sentence that had no connection to any logic, rationality, facts, data, science, nothing.
00:29:21.540So, here would be an example of the same thing.
00:29:26.980The sky must be purple because cows are made of leather.
00:31:59.380But I've never seen anybody who hit more red flags for being part of the intelligence blob.
00:32:05.700And then we know that her prior job was at the company that heads Wikipedia.
00:32:12.340And we know from other reporting and from the past that the CIA likes to control the media landscape.
00:32:21.220And probably it's probably we're better off if they do with, you know, with all the negative that comes with it.
00:32:27.400But it looks like this is exactly what was happening.
00:32:32.980It looks like the CIA developed an asset early on, identified her as a, you know, high potential person.
00:32:40.220It looks like they probably made sure she got these two good assignments where she could be controlling not only Wikipedia's techniques, but NPR.
00:32:52.140I mean, if you see everything that she's done, it looks really, really obvious like it's all part of a CIA structure.
00:33:00.760I'm not saying it is, but it couldn't look more like it.
00:33:05.220And, you know, the government's guilty until proven innocent.
00:33:09.240She as an individual is innocent until proven guilty, but the government's guilty until proven innocent.
00:33:14.360Well, Alex Jones points out that the House Democrats are pushing a bill to have this inspector general to oversee the Supreme Court.
00:33:25.360If anybody is overseeing the Supreme Court, it means they're trying to neuter the Supreme Court because they would use the oversight body to control the Supreme Court.
00:33:33.740So that would be essentially Democrats trying to overcome the last illusion that we have any kind of a republic or a constitutional anything.
00:33:45.420But once you get rid of the separation of powers, which is what they're trying to do directly, then you can't even really pretend you're any kind of a democratic republic or anything like that.
00:33:55.740We're not even close to anything like that.
00:34:43.120And there might be some things on this list that some of you might say, oh, I don't know about that one.
00:34:47.560And that's OK, because if a few of them are not exactly the way I present them, it doesn't change the larger directional picture.
00:34:57.360OK, so here's what I would say I know to be true as a working assumption.
00:35:03.760The country is not and has not been a democratic republic for at least decades and certainly in my lifetime.
00:35:13.140We are clearly and unambiguously a fascist organization and defining fascist as having a government which is not controlled by the people.
00:35:24.060It's obviously controlled by intelligence entities at this point.
00:35:29.160So it's not controlled by the people and the big companies are working in concert with the government and the intelligence people for the benefit of the government and the benefit of the big companies.
00:35:41.940Maybe not necessarily at the benefit of the of the public or at least not giving the public what they would want in a populous sense.
00:35:49.400And that because that is the nature of our government and our country and it has been for a long time and that we have this this fake facade of doing elections.
00:35:58.460But really, we're all all we get is to elect, you know, which CIA asset.
00:36:32.900And probably the most dangerous thing you could do as a country is to have a weak economy because then if something happens, you can't recover and have a weak military because then somebody is going to conquer you or push you around.
00:36:46.960But so because our fascist situation here is very strong because we have big companies and a big government and a big military, we end up being a very strong country.
00:37:31.540The better system is you pretend you're a democracy, you convince the public that you are, but you have the big corporations and the government collude for the benefit of the big companies because that's how we become a big economy.
00:37:47.320And if you're a big economy, you can pay for health care and you can have military that keeps you safe from other places.
00:37:53.700Because, although the military in this fascist situation would also be starting wars that we didn't need to start, but it would try to only start wars we knew we could either make money on or win or affect something.
00:38:07.480You know, not ones that would destroy the country.
00:38:10.680So maybe it's the worst situation that we're a fascist country pretending not to be.
00:39:11.360I'm sure that the CIA and intelligence blob, as Mike Benz likes to tell us, is using other countries that are allies and NGOs to censor people who would be opposed to the fascist government.
00:39:28.020So I do think that we don't have a First Amendment.
00:39:32.300Well, we have First Amendment, but we don't have free speech because our own country is, through the CIA, working against the citizens to cancel people and diminish their reach if they have statements that the blob doesn't like.
00:39:48.540We know we're a massive surveillance state, so that we've lost all privacy.
00:39:54.000We know that from recent re-up of surveillance.
00:39:58.720We know that the blob or our government takes out influential, independent, populist voices.
00:40:04.760So we know we have a government that is persecuting people for their views and opinions through a variety of mechanisms, through the NGOs and other countries and suppressing you on the platforms and lawfare and all that.
00:40:20.800What I think I know is that Mayorkas is not working for America.
00:40:25.500Now, I don't have proof of that, except you have a guy whose only job is to protect the border, well, at least that's a big part of his job, and he's simply not doing it.
00:40:39.300And I don't see any other explanation other than he doesn't work for us.
00:40:46.060I mean, I would guess the cartels, or there are intelligence people who are also working with the cartels, but he's definitely not working for America.
00:40:55.500I mean, I don't think there's any question about that at this point.
00:40:59.180When you see that the Democrats are trying to remove Trump's secret service, and you see that Biden doesn't give RFK Jr. secret service, that's exactly what it looks like.
00:41:09.780That is our government trying to kill the competition and jail them.
00:41:31.860I would say I'm not aware of any specific rigging of our election systems, but I am aware that our election systems are, in my opinion, a joke and not credible at all.
00:41:44.260Now, not credible doesn't mean rigged.
00:41:47.120Not credible means I would have no idea if they were rigged or not.
00:41:51.360Now, I've heard somebody else say, Scott, if anything was rigged, you'd pick it up right away in the audit.
00:43:29.380Now, if you can chase out the observers, and then if you cheated, you can just delete the evidence, and people will say, oh, it's too bad we can't check.
00:43:38.700I guess we'll just go on as if we had no way to know.
00:43:43.940That would assume that your elections are rigged.
