Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hmm. Let's get my microphone. Let's get it all together. Good morning, everybody, and welcome
00:00:13.500 to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, Saturday edition.
00:00:20.160 It's really the same as all the other editions. But if you'd like to take this experience up to
00:00:25.520 levels that nobody could possibly understand, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of
00:00:31.160 tankard shells, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your
00:00:34.660 favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine.
00:00:38.840 At the end of the day, I think it makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it
00:00:42.040 happens now. Go. Oh, my goodness. Sometimes the sip is just perfect. It's a perfect sip.
00:00:55.520 Shall we check in with the news? I've fixed my typo on my comic this morning. You'll be happy to
00:01:03.020 know. So if you saw it with a typo, it's already fixed for those of you subscribing.
00:01:10.160 Well, on the Howard Stern show, Joe Biden went on there, and I was reading a post by Greg Price,
00:01:18.180 he was summarizing some of the things that Biden said on that show. Now, I remind you that Biden
00:01:25.940 ran for president in part on the Charlottesville hoax, but also in part because you couldn't have
00:01:33.440 a lying president. No, no, you can't have a lying president, you know, like that mean old Mr. Trump.
00:01:43.200 You need a president that tells the truth every single time he opens his mouth. For example,
00:01:51.460 some of the things that Biden told us truthfully is that he saved six people from drowning as a
00:01:56.760 lifeguard. Okay, that's a lie. But he did say he received what he called salacious pictures
00:02:05.340 from women in the 70s that he handed over to his secret service, which he didn't have because he
00:02:13.440 was a senator then and they don't have secret service. So that's a lie. But okay, but this next one is
00:02:19.660 true. He was arrested as a kid while standing with a black family on their porch as people were
00:02:27.400 protesting desegregate. Okay, that's definitely a lie. You don't really get arrested for standing on a
00:02:33.720 porch. Standing on a porch with black people. He got arrested. But, but this next one, I'm sure is true.
00:02:44.220 That he was a runner up in state scoring and football. Okay, that's definitely a lie. All right. So
00:02:50.980 everything he said was a lie, including the main thing he ran on the Charlottesville hoax. But he's
00:02:59.780 also posting that Trump said that you shouldn't, that you should drink bleach. So basically 100% of
00:03:07.160 everything Biden's ever said is a lie. And Democrats are so happy they want to reelect him.
00:03:14.740 So that's how that works. Well, General Mike Flynn has a documentary that I believe is available now.
00:03:23.180 So it's available this weekend. I think it's named Flynn. Is it on YouTube? But if you just look for
00:03:33.300 the Flynn documentary, it'll pop up somewhere. And here's what he says. He says, after seven years
00:03:39.480 of silence, I'm ready to release my story to the public. And you won't want to miss it.
00:03:45.280 The most shocking documentary of 2024, he says. It's time to take our country back.
00:03:49.680 Now, let me tell you the thing that always was a mystery to me with the General Flynn story.
00:03:57.540 So you know the story that he got accused of some Russian collusion stuff that was completely made up.
00:04:04.280 And he ended up pleading guilty to something because they threatened to put his son in jail.
00:04:10.780 That really happened. Now, and then his attorney gets disbarred or something, right? Sidney Powell.
00:04:20.840 So basically just the worst things happen to this guy. And I'll tell you the thing that always puzzled
00:04:26.380 me the most. So here's a general. Presumably any general in the U.S. Army has learned a lot about
00:04:35.540 military tactics. Is that fair to say? Or are there some generals that don't learn that?
00:04:41.960 They all learn military tactics, right? Kind of basic for if you're a general.
00:04:46.740 And I'm watching General Flynn go on total defense for seven years.
00:04:53.300 And I said to myself, how in the world are you a general in the military and you go on defense for
00:05:01.780 seven years? Like what's up with that? He's probably the least combative person who is being the most
00:05:09.820 abused in the most obvious way for the longest time and said the least about it. I mean, he did speak
00:05:17.140 out about it, but I felt like it was the weakest pushback you could ever see. I now have a new theory
00:05:24.740 about this. I think it is tactics. I think that when he was in his initial bad situation, he realized
00:05:34.200 that the entire intelligence community and the Democrats and the press were against him and he
00:05:39.380 couldn't win. If you're good at tactics, you don't fight the battle you can't win. You pull back
00:05:46.900 and you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and then you wait and then you fucking kill
00:06:01.320 everybody who did that to you. But you wait until the time is right. I've got a feeling the time is
00:06:10.760 right. And you might be seeing a, you know, a U.S. trained general going on the offense after waiting
00:06:19.900 for seven years for the right time. Oh, this is the right time. Oh, this is the right time. Because
00:06:27.900 everything that you couldn't say seven years ago, you can say now, at least on some places, right? So our
00:06:36.540 entire architecture of what is believable, what's true, who did what to whom, it's all different now.
00:06:45.340 And he can come right out and say the bad things that happened for the first time. And it will be
00:06:52.720 believable. And it will be additive to Trump's campaign because the timing will be perfect. And
00:07:00.200 I don't know, he might be a brilliant tactician and you're just watching it play out in real time.
00:07:09.900 So I don't know. I mean, I don't know him well enough. I don't know the situation well enough.
00:07:14.180 But this is the only way I can explain a, a somebody who's got military training
00:07:19.780 playing, you know, such a soft first part of the game. I think he's going to go hard now.
00:07:28.500 So I think it's going to be fun to watch. Anyway, so it's called the Flynn. Make sure you see it.
00:07:38.580 Dustin Moskowitz, I believe he was one of the Facebook founders. Was it Facebook? Dustin Moskowitz.
00:07:46.280 He's one of those, you know, original founder types. And he went after Elon Musk, saying that Elon
00:07:54.360 Musk and Tesla were lying about some things and that when it all came out that, that Musk would
00:08:04.000 go to jail. And he's saying that Tesla's like the Enron of companies. Elon Musk saw that and responded
00:08:14.220 on a post and I quote, what a retard. Okay. That was the entire post. Now, remember I said that
00:08:25.480 everything's different seven years later with the Flynn story. Here's something else that's different.
00:08:32.320 Elon Musk can say what a retard on social media and there won't really be any pushback.
00:08:38.180 And if there is, nobody gives a crap. So, but of course, you know, it was just an offhand
00:08:46.240 comment. It's not like he's going to double down or anything. Oh, he did double down. Okay.
00:08:53.380 So Elon followed up with a clarification because, you know, it's sort of a improper, impolite thing
00:09:02.240 to say in public. So, so he softened it later. And I guess that's a good thing. He said what
00:09:07.260 I meant to say is that he is a pompous idiot who's had it so far up his own ass that he's
00:09:12.480 legally blind. I wish him the best and I hope that someday we can be friends.
00:09:21.560 So now what does that sound like? Let me read it again. And you tell me who is influencing
00:09:28.980 Elon Musk's tweeting style. What I meant to say is he's a pompous idiot who's had it so far
00:09:34.880 up his own ass that he's legally blind. I wish him the best and I hope that someday we can be
00:09:39.220 friends. That's pure Trump. In fact, it's almost Trump like one day before that, when Trump was
00:09:48.140 making fun of Bill Barr. And he said that, you know, he'd called Bill Barr, you know, five
00:09:53.260 different bad names. But because Bill Barr backed him for president, he was going to remove lethargic,
00:09:58.800 but only lethargic from his list of insults. And then Musk is, I hope that someday we could be
00:10:10.200 friends. Classic. Yes, classic. Anyway, one of the things that Musk said on a conference call is that,
00:10:23.240 I've said this before, that the robot portion of Tesla could be the biggest part. And I think he's
00:10:32.140 totally right. At the end of the year, he thinks you'll have robots doing some factory work. And maybe in
00:10:38.040 2025, you might get your own robot. So I should tell you, I have Tesla stock. So just full disclosure. And I
00:10:49.440 have it primarily because of the robot play. So I'm not, you know, I'm not convinced that Tesla,
00:10:57.180 the electric car company, is the end-all be-all of businesses, especially with prices coming down and,
00:11:04.720 you know, all kinds of stuff. So it's very unpredictable business. But the robot business
00:11:09.700 does honestly look like the biggest thing I've ever seen. And if you had to bet on somebody being able to
00:11:16.240 manufacture robots in America, I would bet on Musk. And, you know, do you know what the biggest
00:11:23.880 change is that's coming?
00:11:28.820 China's in trouble. Because the only reason that we have anything manufactured in China,
00:11:36.260 besides lower environmental standards, I suppose, is that their labor is cheap.
00:11:41.300 But if you start making everything with robots, maybe not the kind that walk around, but, you know,
00:11:47.200 robot arms and robot factory lines and stuff, you can make everything just the same price in America.
00:11:53.360 And then you can get rid of the shipping and delay that you would have with China. So in theory,
00:11:59.200 the robot revolution should put China in a business as a manufacturing entity. It should all become
00:12:07.280 local because it would just make sense to do it locally. You don't have to ship it as far.
00:12:12.560 So, yeah, robots. Robots are everything.
00:12:18.020 So Biden has created an AI advisory board. So he's invited the leaders of all the big AI companies,
00:12:28.000 except, oh, one. There's one leader of a major AI company that was left off the advisory board,
00:12:34.940 Elon Musk. Yep. Yeah. If you're, if you're the government in the United States and you want to
00:12:43.860 make one of these really big decisions that affects civilization, you leave Elon Musk out of the
00:12:50.680 advisory board. Don't you think he'd get a better result if he left everybody else out and just had
00:13:00.000 one person on the advisory board and it was just Musk? I feel like that would have been a better play
00:13:05.940 than to be the only one left out. What exactly are they watching or seeing or hearing that makes them
00:13:14.760 think that Elon Musk is the one they don't want to listen to about AI? Maybe he's the only one you should
00:13:21.440 listen to. Maybe. That's such a bizarre choice. Obviously, it's political.
00:13:31.100 All right. Biden administration was going to ban menthol cigarettes, but they've decided to put
00:13:37.660 that on hold because it would make black voters angry. So instead of saving the lives of black voters,
00:13:45.720 voters, I suppose, he's going to get their vote first and maybe try to save their lives for after
00:13:52.240 that. Everything about our government is immoral. Every single thing about it is just immoral.
00:14:01.300 So let's see. So Biden's plan is to ban TikTok to make all the young people mad, ban menthol cigarettes
00:14:09.340 because I didn't know this, but apparently black cigarette smokers like menthol cigarettes.
00:14:15.420 I was not aware of that. But yeah, so everything's just like you think. So Trump is brilliantly
00:14:23.980 working his New York lawfare situation. And he met, was it this morning or yesterday? Early in the
00:14:31.000 morning with a bunch of construction workers at a big construction site. And it was pandemonium.
00:14:36.060 Big crowd, lots of cheering. And they were very happy to see him. And I'm loving watching Trump
00:14:46.280 take back New York because I feel like New York expelled him. I mean, in essence, it did.
00:14:54.100 And watching him take back the state, if he can actually push this into Republican control,
00:15:00.920 which I don't think, but the fact that he's going for it, it's just wonderful. I love the fact that when
00:15:09.240 there's a direct attack on Trump, he never retreats. He just finds the higher ground. It's like,
00:15:18.180 oh, you're going to come after me with your little DAs? I'm going to take your whole state.
00:15:22.380 I just love that. I just love that. I just love that. It feels like, oh, remember when Obama
00:15:29.060 was mocking Trump at that, what was it, the reporter's event that they do? And you saw Trump
00:15:36.920 just sitting there taking the mocking humiliation. And instead of just mocking and humiliating Obama
00:15:42.780 back, he took the presidency. This feels like the same play. We're going to pester you to death
00:15:53.980 with our DAs. Okay. I'll take your whole state. Thank you very much. And that's what he's trying
00:16:01.160 to do. Can he do it? It would be quite a reach. But do I think that he read the room correctly?
00:16:12.520 Yes, I think he did. I believe, so remember, I'm from New York State. All right. So I grew up in
00:16:19.500 upstate New York. So I feel, it's been a long time, and upstate is different than New York City.
00:16:26.740 But I feel like, I feel like it's his time. It feels like the, let me tell you about New
00:16:38.080 Yorkers, upstate. I can't really speak for the city. It's a whole different deal. But the
00:16:44.400 average, you know, rural upstate New York person, they don't like a lot of bullshit. They don't
00:16:54.340 like a lot of bullshit. And they've been seeing a lot of bullshit. And I think they're just done.
00:17:01.240 Yeah, I think they probably reached their limit of bullshit. So I think his timing is perfect.
00:17:07.220 Here's a good sign of the times. Do you know Paul Graham of Y Combinator? And he's one of the big,
00:17:13.880 big names in the business world, especially in the tech world. So if you're not familiar with him,
00:17:19.340 it's important that you know he's one of the most famous, you know, entrepreneur type people.
00:17:28.180 And why that's important is that he just posted this. He said, something I didn't realize when I
00:17:34.440 was a kid, institutions can decay. Institutions seem so permanent, but it turns out that to be very
00:17:41.420 easy for them to drift from the original mission. But here's the interesting part. Here's the ones he
00:17:46.380 mentions as institutions that have drifted from their original mission and become bad, basically.
00:17:53.840 He lists the ACLU, the New York Times, the Better Business Bureau, the ADL, and NPR. He says none of
00:18:04.360 them are what they were. Now, I, of course, weighed in and said that it's hard to pick a worst, but I would
00:18:12.220 pick the ADL as the worst. But here is what I would consider the sign of the times.
00:18:19.680 I don't think that a year ago you would have said in public that the ADL is a corrupt, terrible
00:18:26.220 organization. One year ago? But now it's just a comment. Now it's sufficiently obvious or sufficiently,
00:18:37.120 you know, talked about that somebody who has a, you know, positive reputation in the world,
00:18:44.420 just an ordinary business person who I don't even know if he's left or right. Honestly, I don't know
00:18:49.820 if he votes Democrat or Republican. Can't tell. Because when he talks about stuff, he's just talking
00:18:54.600 about them in a logical way, which kind of hides your political feelings if you're just talking factually.
00:19:01.460 So I have no idea if he's left or right. But I assume he's somewhere in the middle.
00:19:09.300 But the fact that he can just casually say the ADL is spoiled is a really good sign.
00:19:16.680 So I made sure that I double dunked on the ADL by suggesting that they might be the worst of the
00:19:22.180 bunch to make you stop and debate who's really the worst. Because I want you to pause on that and
00:19:29.100 think, hmm, what is worse? The New York Times or the ADL or the NPR? It's the ADL. They're much worse.

00:20:39.140 There's a new study in Japan, if you believe any data in any studies, and you probably shouldn't.
00:20:46.340 It says there were 115,000 excess deaths following the third COVID shot.
00:20:52.200 Uh-oh. What? So the study shows that there was basically a bunch of aggressive cancers,
00:21:00.940 and they came after the COVID shot. Now, does that mean it's true? It might. It might mean it's true.
00:21:11.980 But the larger picture today is that data is pretty much all unreliable. Yeah. Pretty much all data about
00:21:21.220 everything is unreliable from economics to science to health. It's all unreliable. So would I be worried
00:21:29.980 about this study? Yes. I would love to see the studies about the second COVID shot, because I
00:21:36.600 noticed a lot of the studies are focusing on the third and fourth boosters. But I'd like to know,
00:21:42.960 is it like really bad after two, and three is even worse? Or is two, you know, sort of average bad,
00:21:51.720 but not the worst thing in the world? But by the time you get to that third booster, is that the
00:21:55.320 one that's going to take you out? I mean, according to the study. But again, I'm not sure you should
00:22:02.200 believe in any studies. So there's that. If there are lots of studies that all point in the same
00:22:09.140 direction, then yes. Well, Christy Noem has made some news. I guess she's got a book out.
00:22:17.840 And one of the things she talks about is shooting her own dog. I guess they had a dog on the ranch,
00:22:24.520 and it was killing animals, and it was poorly behaved, and it didn't look like it could be fixed.
00:22:30.620 So she killed her dog. It's not that unusual. She's killed a goat. She killed a couple of horses.
00:22:36.180 She's killed a lot of stuff. She's killed a lot of stuff. Now, what she was apparently going for
00:22:47.300 by telling us these stories and doubling down on them is that she's lived this tough farmer's life
00:22:55.820 where she had to make tough choices, and don't you wish, you know, aren't you glad it wasn't you?
00:23:01.680 Now, I don't have an opinion about whether that dog could be trained or whether it was dangerous
00:23:07.440 and whether she put it out of its misery before it bit a child, and maybe it would have. I don't know.
00:23:13.900 So I don't have an opinion on the detail. I'll just talk about the politics of it.
00:23:21.000 Her political career is largely over. I mean, except maybe she could be governor again.
00:23:28.080 But she's not going to be vice president after saying she killed the dog,
00:23:32.860 because nobody's going to be able to say anything else.
00:23:36.140 I mean, it's basically Romney putting his dog on the roof.
00:23:41.240 And, you know, I don't think anybody could ever forget that.
00:23:45.040 Yeah. So it looks like a lack of empathy for animals, even though it probably wasn't.
00:23:50.900 Right. So I'm not criticizing her for what she did, because I don't know the details.
00:23:56.740 You know, maybe if I knew the details, I would, but I don't.
00:24:00.160 So I'm not criticizing the details. I'm just saying politically, it's, I mean, it's just devastatingly bad.
00:24:09.080 It's all I'll ever forget. I won't think of anything else when I see her for the rest of her career.
00:24:14.480 I will only think of that when I see her. I don't know about the rest of you, but that will never leave my head.
00:24:20.900 It's a bad mistake.
00:24:24.980 So.
00:24:26.640 So Biden wants to, you know, increase the capital gains tax.
00:24:30.940 And you've heard about this. I don't think it can pass because it's so it's so absurdly rapacious.
00:24:39.020 I mean, the fact that people would work all their lives and have their little nest egg and then the government would say,
00:24:46.880 you know what, I think we'll just take like 40 percent of it.
00:24:50.900 You have to work all your life for the purpose of having that money.
00:24:55.200 Now, do you know how hard it is to spend money after you've made it?
00:25:00.740 Now, I say this because I have a little extra.
00:25:04.260 Yeah. Yeah. I've made more than I've spent so far.
00:25:08.760 Yeah. Here are some of the things you can't do.
00:25:12.220 You can't give your money away.
00:25:14.940 To somebody who needs it.
00:25:16.820 Did you know that?
00:25:18.980 It's illegal just to give it.
00:25:20.440 You'd have to pay taxes on the money you give away.
00:25:22.820 So if you've got, let's say, let's say you've got an adult child and they need some extra help.
00:25:32.840 For any reason, you know, maybe they had a medical problem or something and you give them money.
00:25:38.100 Yeah. If it goes over the gift, if it goes.
00:25:40.700 First of all, if it's below a certain amount, it could be called the gift.
00:25:45.440 But you still have to do the taxes.
00:25:48.440 You still have to record it.
00:25:50.120 And the reason you do that is that I believe that becomes an implication in your estate.
00:25:56.920 So the reason you record it is so that later they can ding you, I think.
00:26:02.940 But you can't give your money away.
00:26:05.660 You have to pay taxes to give your money away.
00:26:09.080 Now, I've got money in the stock market.
00:26:10.980 And almost all of the money that I have now is stock gains.
00:26:18.480 Meaning that I spent all the money that just sort of I made that I didn't invest.
00:26:23.400 But I invested well.
00:26:24.920 So, you know, I have stock gains.
00:26:29.160 They're going to take 40% of it if I try to cash out.
00:26:32.960 And just think about that.
00:26:34.400 They'll take 40% of it if I just try to use it.
00:26:36.900 I mean, the absurdity of that is crazy.
00:26:43.040 If I try to spend my own money, they'll take 40% of it.
00:26:47.520 Or really 50% in my case, probably.
00:26:50.120 Because state taxes as well.
00:26:52.740 Unbelievable.
00:26:53.620 Yeah, that's my fair share.
00:26:55.520 My fair share is to save all of my life.
00:26:58.660 And by the way, I hit my savings target exactly.
00:27:03.360 Like, all my life, I thought, okay, if I have, you know, this much, then I'll feel like I'm comfortable.
00:27:08.680 And now 40% of it just went away.
00:27:11.180 Because I can't spend it, you know.
00:27:13.320 I mean, I would never, I mean, with that rate of taxation, I would never even take it out.
00:27:18.780 I would just keep working.
00:27:20.460 I just leave it there and hope another administration lowers the tax rate.
00:27:24.320 It would be crazy.
00:27:25.800 It would be crazy to remove money under that tax scheme.
00:27:28.460 I would just keep it there as long as I could.
00:27:32.360 All right.
00:27:34.600 So I don't think that can get passed.
00:27:36.540 But oh, my goodness.
00:27:38.660 You can't even use your own money after you earn it.
00:27:42.380 So there's more information that these college protests, the Hamas-Palestinian protests, are funded by Soros.
00:27:52.480 But it's not clear that Soros, you know, wanted them to do any protesting.
00:27:58.140 It's just that there are a lot of Soros organizations.
00:28:01.580 And then they make their own decisions after they get the money.
00:28:04.600 And probably a lot of it's going toward this.
00:28:07.160 But there's also thought that some of the money is coming from the Middle East.
00:28:12.320 And I saw some suggestion that, you know, Soros wanted, maybe wanted these protests to happen.
00:28:19.920 I don't know about that, because I see Soros as joined at the hip with the Democrats and with our CIA.
00:28:30.700 Now, that's my current worldview.
00:28:33.040 It could be wrong.
00:28:34.000 But my current worldview is that the only way to explain Soros is he's part of that Atlantic Council CIA intelligence, you know, apparatus.
00:28:44.480 And also part of the Democrat machine as well.
00:28:48.560 Now, why would any of them want to cause this problem in an election year?
00:28:54.680 Why would Soros, the CIA, or Democrats, why would any of them want an anti-Jewish protest in an election year?
00:29:08.920 That's like the very worst thing that could happen to them.
00:29:11.900 So there's something going on here that doesn't make sense if you just think Soros is funding it.
00:29:19.400 It's got to be coming from, yeah, it's got to be coming from the Middle East, Iran, or something like that.
00:29:29.200 So how in the world could we have such a big news event and not understand who's behind it?
00:29:36.000 Isn't that weird?
00:29:39.760 Since when do we not know who's behind things when money's involved?
00:29:43.760 You can't just look at those tents and say, all right, who's behind all this?
00:29:49.040 It must be that the whole NGO money situation is so complicated you can never tell.
00:29:56.940 Well, anyway, the longer those protests go on, the better Trump's chances of winning are.
00:30:04.060 So there's that.
00:30:10.540 I saw Patrick Beddavid had some numbers.
00:30:13.760 I didn't see the source of them, but he was posting about what would happen if TikTok gets banned
00:30:18.680 and which of the social media companies would benefit from it.
00:30:22.980 And based on what, I don't know, probably a survey of some kind,
00:30:27.360 Meta, which is mostly Instagram for this purpose, 57% of TikTok users would end up at Instagram.
00:30:35.920 YouTube, 22%.
00:30:37.160 The others, 15%.
00:30:38.780 Snap, 6%.
00:30:40.460 Now, how many of you think that TikTok's really going to get banned?
00:30:45.900 Now, you probably saw a news event that China was acting tough
00:30:52.080 and saying that they'd rather close it, at least the American version of it.
00:30:56.680 They'd rather close it than sell it.
00:30:59.480 Do you think they mean that?
00:31:02.540 That Bydance would rather just take no money and just close it?
00:31:07.500 I don't think they mean that because I do think they mean they're not going to sell the algorithm, the software.
00:31:17.760 But I think that somebody could buy the customers, maybe just the customers,
00:31:23.300 maybe some IP of some sort, and then build their own algorithm in there.
00:31:28.680 Maybe.
00:31:29.160 Or they could just take the customer base and just give them all Instagram accounts.
00:31:35.500 If I were Meta, what I would do is I would have an onboarding service.
00:31:41.720 So you could just say, here's my TikTok account.
00:31:45.300 Here's my Instagram.
00:31:46.360 And it just goes, and just sucks all the data over and turns it into whatever you want it to be.
00:31:52.800 So if I were Meta, that's what I'd be doing.
00:31:54.960 And I'd find a way to just take all your data and build you a new account.
00:32:01.320 And then I would also give them some kind of a URL or address that would be reminiscent of their TikTok account.
00:32:10.000 So if you knew somebody's TikTok account, you could, for example, just take the known TikTok account
00:32:16.340 and just put IG in front of it or IG colon, you know, so then you'd be able to find it on Instagram.
00:32:25.440 But I'm going to say that in the end, TikTok will remain a Chinese company and continue operating in the United States.
00:32:33.780 I don't know how, but I think that's going to happen.
00:32:39.780 They have so much money, I have a feeling they're going to fight for it.
00:32:43.480 And I do think that they're going to hold tight on not selling it.
00:32:46.720 But there is some possibility that Mnuchin and some other people will buy some part of TikTok.
00:32:54.640 I just think it's unlikely.
00:32:58.440 Tucker is talking about 2020 voter fraud in a new video.
00:33:03.760 And here's something else that you can say today that you couldn't say a few years ago without getting in trouble.
00:33:11.140 The 2020 election was definitely rigged.
00:33:14.640 That's what Tucker says.
00:33:16.560 Now he gives his, here's his evidence.
00:33:19.720 Number one, the government was censoring information that would be important to voters.
00:33:25.400 100% true.
00:33:26.340 The government was censoring things.
00:33:28.340 The laptop thing being the obvious example, but, but they were censoring, you know, the major platforms.
00:33:34.500 We know about Zuckerberg's $400 million to, you know, tweak the process to benefit Democrats.
00:33:43.260 I would call that rigging.
00:33:44.280 Yeah, it's legal, but it's rigging.
00:33:49.240 And then apparently, so, Tucker had a guest who had did some kind of survey of people who used mail-in ballots in that election.
00:34:01.520 So he only talked to people who did do mail-in ballots and asked them, they didn't ask him, did you do anything fraudulent?
00:34:08.920 And they asked them specific questions, such as, did you do your mail-in ballot from a state in which you, did you vote in a state where you're not a resident?
00:34:21.080 And a bunch of people said, yes, that they intentionally voted in a state in which they were not residents.
00:34:28.440 Now that's illegal.
00:34:30.080 And then they were asked, did you sign a name for somebody else?
00:34:35.220 And a bunch of people said, oh yeah, I signed a name for somebody else.
00:34:38.920 Which is illegal.
00:34:42.280 And then there was, did you fill it out?
00:34:48.780 So not just sign the names, but did you fill out the mail-in ballot for somebody else?
00:34:54.000 And then a bunch of people said yes.
00:34:56.680 Now, I think if you dug into this, there would be a lot of people who did it for their spouse.
00:35:03.420 And their spouse was okay with it.
00:35:05.680 Don't you think?
00:35:07.160 Yeah, there's probably a lot of families where one spouse really cares about politics, the other one doesn't.
00:35:13.100 And the one who cares about it is sitting at the kitchen table and says, honey, do you mind if I fill out your mail-in ballot?
00:35:20.100 And the spouse, male or female, says, yeah, I don't care.
00:35:24.540 Because whatever you've looked into, I'll probably be fine with.
00:35:27.940 Yeah, just fill out mine.
00:35:29.180 Do you mind if I sign it?
00:35:30.480 Yeah, just go ahead and sign it.
00:35:31.460 Nobody's going to check.
00:35:34.200 So I don't know how much of this, by the way, the result was that 20% of mail-in ballots were illegal.
00:35:43.880 Based on the survey, 20% of mail-in ballots would have been illegal.
00:35:48.340 But illegal is a tight standard.
00:35:53.140 It doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't the will of the people.
00:36:00.560 Does that make sense?
00:36:01.960 Because if you're filling out the vote for your grandmother because her hands don't work, but she really liked Biden,
00:36:08.480 you technically broke the law because grandma has to fill it down herself.
00:36:13.980 She has to sign it herself.
00:36:15.460 But is that really the law that you care about?
00:36:19.240 Because grandma got her wish, and she's a citizen too.
00:36:23.100 So I'm not sure that this 20% is a reliable number.
00:36:28.020 I'd like to maybe see some more on this topic.
00:36:31.540 But suppose it's half of that.
00:36:33.600 10% were illegal.
00:36:35.900 Illegal in the way that you would care about them being illegal.
00:36:39.480 That's still a lot.
00:36:40.440 It would be enough to change the election by far.
00:36:43.440 Yeah, the spirit of the law, but not the letter of the law.
00:36:45.880 Might be a lot of that.
00:36:50.400 In Ohio, the police are in trouble again because there's some body cam footage.
00:36:57.400 They arrested a 53-year-old black man who apparently they have to tell us he's black in the story.
00:37:05.700 That's important.
00:37:06.700 He's black man who died after repeatedly telling officers, I can't breathe.
00:37:11.000 And indeed, they had a knee on his back.
00:37:14.820 And he was saying he couldn't.
00:37:15.560 And he couldn't.
00:37:16.840 He died.
00:37:17.900 So now we have George Floyd who died from having a knee on his back.
00:37:24.660 We've got the Daniel Penny situation where he was restraining somebody in a headlock.
00:37:29.220 And that man died, also black.
00:37:31.940 And then this new Ohio man died in a similar way.
00:37:37.320 Now, I would suggest this.
00:37:41.800 I think that black men need a warning label.
00:37:44.200 Now, this might apply to other people, but I don't know yet.
00:37:48.500 So we could extend this.
00:37:50.780 And it should say something like, do not hold down for two to five minutes because they will die.
00:37:56.280 Now, it might apply to all the other groups, and then they should get warning labels too.
00:38:03.440 But the only one we know about are that black men apparently die pretty easily if you hold them down.
00:38:09.660 That's all I know for sure.
00:38:11.280 If you hold them down, they're likely to die.
00:38:13.240 So don't hold the black men down.
00:38:17.080 It could be fatal.
00:38:18.320 And I believe that they should come with warning labels.
00:38:21.180 There should be something they can sew onto a shirt.
00:38:23.580 It says something like, do not hold down with pressure on back.
00:38:29.960 We'll die in less than a minute.
00:38:32.960 Yeah, warning labels.
00:38:36.120 Meanwhile, over at, speaking of warning labels,
00:38:38.660 the CEO of Kraft Heinz, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, is a health nut.
00:38:46.660 Let me say that again.
00:38:49.160 The CEO of Kraft Heinz, the maker of Lunchables, is a health nut.
00:38:58.860 And some say that he might want to remake the processed food giant
00:39:04.740 to make it more of a healthy situation.
00:39:10.460 What kind of a living hell would that be?
00:39:14.020 What did this man do that was so bad in a prior life that he's a health nut?
00:39:19.800 And apparently he does live his life, you know, very much in a healthy lifestyle.
00:39:24.080 He fasts.
00:39:24.940 He does stuff like that.
00:39:25.900 But what kind of living hell would be to put you as the CEO of Kraft Heinz
00:39:33.880 when you're a health nut?
00:39:36.160 What would be another example of something that bad?
00:39:40.840 It would be like Mother Teresa being in charge of a military industrial company.
00:39:48.580 It would be like Greta Thunberg being the CEO of Chevron.
00:40:00.920 None of this makes sense.
00:40:03.440 How do you get a health nut to be the CEO?
00:40:06.300 That's going to be trouble.
00:40:09.540 Here's what little I know from having worked in the food industry.
00:40:13.020 You know, as you know, I famously tried to introduce a food product that would be healthy
00:40:17.200 and compete against Lunchables and stuff like that.
00:40:21.500 But what I learned is you really can't get there from here.
00:40:29.120 Meaning that you say to yourself, you know, I'd like my food to be full of nutrition
00:40:34.840 and good for me and not have, you know, a lot of chemicals in it.
00:40:40.740 You can't actually get there from here.
00:40:43.680 If you made such a food, nobody would buy it.
00:40:47.200 Nobody wants healthy food that's also processed.
00:40:51.480 Let me say that again.
00:40:54.080 Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, not one person wants healthy food that's highly processed and
00:41:03.800 comes in a package.
00:41:05.320 And they're pretty much the processed food that comes in a package company.
00:41:10.740 I don't think you can make that healthy.
00:41:12.780 I mean, I think it's actually not possible.
00:41:16.980 If it's not like a whole food with no, no fertilizer, it's probably going to be a little unhealthy.
00:41:25.420 I think our whole food system is poisoned.
00:41:28.340 Although I did see an interesting comment by Mike Cernovich.
00:41:33.340 He was talking about people in prison.
00:41:35.800 He said the people in prison are eating all this, you know, horrible processed foods and microplastics.
00:41:40.920 And, you know, they don't, they're not getting much vitamin D and everything.
00:41:44.260 But they eat two meals a day and they sleep a lot and they exercise.
00:41:49.900 And they're all in great shape when they get out of jail.
00:41:54.020 Which makes you doubt literally everything you've been told about health.
00:41:58.040 I was like, wait a minute.
00:41:59.680 Why are these people who are getting out of jail looking so good compared to the rest of us?
00:42:04.300 Yeah.
00:42:06.260 So.
00:42:09.920 Processed food is poison, somebody says.
00:42:12.540 Sort of.
00:42:13.020 How many of you were listening to the Supreme Court on the presidential immunity?
00:42:20.980 Did anybody get to catch any of that?
00:42:23.160 I'll tell you, that is so interesting.
00:42:25.760 The Supreme Court puts on a good show.
00:42:28.440 Because each of the justices asks pretty tight questions.
00:42:32.940 So it's not boring.
00:42:34.800 And it appears that the lawyers arguing have been trained that they need to make their point as quickly as possible.
00:42:41.460 Now, I don't know if it's because the whole thing is timed or what's going on.
00:42:45.560 But the lawyers talk really fast.
00:42:48.420 And the judges are really good at asking the, you know, just the insightful, quick question.
00:42:53.640 So it's a whole bunch of, well, what would happen if the president did this?
00:42:58.260 Well, according to Ferguson, C plus mass, C plus order, we have to reject that.
00:43:03.100 Next question.
00:43:03.640 So it's really fun to watch this, the speed of it.
00:43:07.740 But one of the questions that Gorsuch asked is if a president led a nonviolent sit-in, let's say he just decided to lead a nonviolent sit-in in a government office.
00:43:23.660 And the purpose of it was to delay, or let's just say delay, a government process.
00:43:31.480 And he's like, so is that a problem?
00:43:33.900 A nonviolent sit-in?
00:43:36.700 That was a really good question.
00:43:38.420 Because all the other questions were like, what if you try to assassinate, try to assassinate the other team?
00:43:45.700 You know, things that we probably wouldn't have any problem making them illegal or treating them as illegal.
00:43:51.160 So that was a good question.
00:43:53.720 And I have to admit, every time I heard, you know, one of the lawyers talk, they tend to convince you because they're good lawyers.
00:44:02.740 And that's why I got to the Supreme Court.
00:44:04.920 But when I listened to the, what do you call the people who want things to be as they are?
00:44:14.920 The, not the plaintiff.
00:44:18.340 So the plaintiff would be Trump's team.
00:44:20.300 What's the other team?
00:44:21.960 What's the word for that?
00:44:23.800 Come on, all you lawyers, tell me the word.
00:44:26.720 The, it's the plaintiff and the petitioner.
00:44:30.140 There's a petitioner.
00:44:31.300 What, what do you call them when they're arguing at the Supreme Court?
00:44:34.940 Defendant?
00:44:35.480 It's not really a defendant, is it?
00:44:39.160 But is it a defense?
00:44:43.340 Respondent.
00:44:43.700 Respondent.
00:44:44.700 Respondent.
00:44:45.700 So respondent.
00:44:46.700 Respondent.
00:44:47.400 Respondent.
00:44:47.460 Respondent.
00:44:48.000 Respondent.
00:44:49.300 Okay.
00:44:50.680 The respondent.
00:44:52.360 So the respondents, I thought, had a confused, terrible argument.
00:44:57.800 And so just listening.
00:44:59.260 When I listened to Trump's attorney, he sounded good and sharp and all over it.
00:45:07.340 When I listened to the other team, it sounded a little confused and flailing.
00:45:13.140 But I didn't hear all of it.
00:45:14.200 So I just got a little tasteable.
00:45:16.500 Did anybody have that same impression that Trump's team looked like they did the better
00:45:22.100 job?
00:45:22.660 Doesn't mean they'll win.
00:45:24.300 Because, you know, the argument's the argument.
00:45:25.680 You can't make the argument better than the argument.
00:45:30.420 But I thought they did a good job.
00:45:34.260 And I think where it needs to shake out is that if it's a gray area, the president gets
00:45:40.780 immunity.
00:45:41.420 Meaning, if it looks like it could be part of the official job, even if it could help
00:45:47.200 him personally, that's just got to have immunity.
00:45:49.820 Because otherwise, presidents would get picked to death.
00:45:52.740 Oh, you started a war to defend the country, but don't you also have a hotel nearby in the
00:46:00.460 neighboring country where all the NATO people will stay when they visit the war zone?
00:46:04.800 So it's sort of for profit, isn't it, Mr. Trump?
00:46:08.440 Can't you see that?
00:46:11.380 It's so easy to imagine that if there's any wiggle room in that presidential immunity thing,
00:46:17.640 if there's any wiggle room, they're just going to use it to take Trump out.
00:46:20.980 So you've got to get rid of all of that and say, all right, if it's really that bad,
00:46:26.640 you're going to have to impeach.
00:46:29.600 And if you don't impeach, I don't think you should prosecute after the office.
00:46:37.080 So if it wasn't important enough to get impeached, I don't think it should be important enough
00:46:41.540 to prosecute after you're out of office.
00:46:44.360 That should be a good standard.
00:46:45.720 Now, I realize that sometimes you can't impeach because you don't have the right votes.
00:46:50.880 So it doesn't mean that impeachment gives you fairness, but I feel like you have to have
00:46:54.660 at least that much control over the weaponization of the process.
00:46:59.660 So I definitely give all of the benefit of the doubt in the gray area to our president,
00:47:05.100 no matter who it is.
00:47:07.000 But it's far more important with Trump because of the lawfare risk.
00:47:10.080 Anyway, time.
00:47:17.540 What's that mean?
00:47:21.600 All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's about all I have.
00:47:25.420 It's a slow news day.
00:47:26.800 Is there any story I missed today?
00:47:30.840 Had Fountain Blue for his wars.
00:47:33.000 Napoleon did.
00:47:33.720 Well, it has to be a successful impeachment in terms of the Senate.
00:47:41.100 Being impeached in the House doesn't count.
00:47:48.060 If the president is not immune, then neither are the DAs.
00:47:56.560 No official element.
00:47:58.620 Yeah.
00:47:58.740 Yeah.
00:48:03.720 All right.
00:48:05.180 Where's Mayor Pete?
00:48:06.920 Yeah.
00:48:07.120 Where is Mayor Pete?
00:48:11.280 All right.
00:48:13.900 RFK on Bill Maher.
00:48:16.920 Well, did I do any of Bill Maher stuff today?
00:48:20.820 Usually on Saturday, it's all about Bill Maher.
00:48:22.920 Bill Maher had Don Lemon on, and Don Lemon was saying how he's always sort of uncomfortable
00:48:31.540 because he's black and gay, so every space is a little uncomfortable.
00:48:36.060 And Bill Maher was all like, what?
00:48:39.340 What?
00:48:43.420 How dark will politics go if Trump gets elected?
00:48:46.900 Probably as dark as they can get.
00:48:48.500 What?
00:48:48.580 What?
00:48:52.920 Florida will not comply with the new Biden Title IX rules.
00:48:58.260 Oh, interesting.
00:48:59.540 Florida is going to go.
00:49:02.360 They're just going to reject the rules.
00:49:04.440 So remember I asked you the percentage of men who are in favor of trans athletes on women's teams?
00:49:11.460 And I saw some data about women being in favor of trans athletes by more than half.
00:49:22.760 So more than half of women want trans athletes on the teams.
00:49:26.580 But I'd love to see the men because I think the men would be closer to zero.
00:49:32.040 I mean, not zero because it's never zero.
00:49:35.320 But I'll bet the men, maybe 20% would be in favor of it, and 80% would be against it.
00:49:42.780 So to me, it looks like a problem that women have created for themselves, and men should just stay out of it.
00:49:51.340 This is another one of those situations where women should work it out and let us know how it went.
00:49:56.280 It's women's sport, right?
00:49:58.020 It's not my sport.
00:50:00.400 So first of all, I should not tell women what they should do with their sports whatsoever.
00:50:06.480 You know, I don't want women telling me what to do with men's sports.
00:50:10.100 So let the women work it out.
00:50:12.560 But, like, just take the men out of it.
00:50:15.280 This is one of those that men, you could just take a pass.
00:50:17.780 I mean, if you're a father, then yes, of course, be involved if it's your daughter who's at risk.
00:50:24.620 But generally speaking, let the women work it out.
00:50:33.980 And right now, they approve it by a majority.
00:50:37.760 So there you go.
00:50:39.720 All right.
00:50:45.500 I don't have anything else to talk about, so I won't keep you.
00:50:48.760 I will talk to the locals people tonight.
00:50:53.060 I'm going to try the button to see if I can talk to the locals people after.
00:50:56.960 But if it doesn't work, I will see you tonight in the man cave.
00:51:02.160 All right.
00:51:02.400 Everybody in YouTube and Rumble and X, thanks for joining.
00:51:08.860 I'll see you again tomorrow, same place, same time.
