Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2460 CWSA 04⧸30⧸24

00:00:00.000 up to levels that even the ancient Egyptians couldn't imagine,

00:00:05.500 while they were building pyramids, which we can't even do.

00:00:09.420 So think about that for a minute.

00:00:11.880 Well, all you need for this is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:14.420 a tanker, gels, and style, and a canteen, jug, and a flask,

00:00:16.560 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:19.220 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:20.400 I like coffee.

00:00:21.680 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:23.400 of the dopamine at the end of the day

00:00:24.660 that makes everything better.

00:00:25.740 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:28.180 It happens now.

00:00:29.700 Go. 0.81

00:00:30.000 Well, trolls, you will be ignored. 0.53

00:00:41.880 No trolling today. 0.78

00:00:44.940 All right.

00:00:48.280 I've introduced a new character in Dilbert Reborn 1.00

00:00:50.880 that is a smug idiot. 0.99

00:00:55.260 Now, I want you to see if you can figure out 1.00

00:00:57.660 who I based that character on. 1.00

00:01:02.360 The smug idiot. 0.99

00:01:05.240 Now, I don't do politics in the comic, 1.00

00:01:07.600 but I can see you all waiting for the video to kick in,

00:01:17.500 and now you're all happy.

00:01:18.700 Good.

00:01:20.640 Good, good.

00:01:21.320 Yeah, it just takes a little delay.

00:01:22.360 Anyway, see if you can identify who the new character in Dilbert is.

00:01:26.680 If you're a subscriber, you'd have to be subscribing on X or Ought

00:01:30.440 or at the Locals platform, scottadams.locals.com. 1.00

00:01:35.620 The smug idiot. 1.00

00:01:36.800 See if you can figure out who that's based on. 1.00

00:01:39.920 Smug idiot. 1.00

00:01:40.580 All right, one in four people, according to a new survey, 1.00

00:01:44.240 think they're going to lose their jobs this year.

00:01:47.800 People are really afraid of robots.

00:01:51.900 So, a new survey of 2,000 people,

00:01:54.320 a quarter of them think that they're going to lose their job.

00:01:57.600 Here's my prediction for jobs and AI and robots.

00:02:02.160 Now, the common wisdom is that robots will take your jobs

00:02:08.580 and then will be unemployed.

00:02:11.000 Here's what's really going to happen.

00:02:13.360 You ready?

00:02:15.120 A robot will be an expensive piece of equipment.

00:02:18.320 You with me so far?

00:02:20.300 A robot will be an expensive piece of equipment,

00:02:24.400 but not so expensive and so big

00:02:28.620 that you couldn't turn it off and throw it on a truck and steal it.

00:02:32.940 So, the theft of robots, and then reprogramming them, I assume,

00:02:37.880 is going to become an industry.

00:02:40.260 Do you know it's the one thing that could protect a robot?

00:02:43.940 Not another robot.

00:02:45.940 Because robots will not be allowed to do violence.

00:02:49.980 So, they won't be able to protect themselves.

00:02:52.840 So, the obvious future is that you'll need at least one human being

00:02:57.200 for every eight-hour shift in which a robot is working

00:03:00.760 so that somebody doesn't come and steal your robot.

00:03:04.820 And since the robot can work all day and all night,

00:03:09.100 you need three eight-hour shifts of humans.

00:03:12.480 So, for every high-productive robot,

00:03:15.540 let's say a robot that can do cobalt mining or something,

00:03:18.440 something you don't want to do,

00:03:19.600 you're going to need three humans

00:03:21.480 to just guard it from somebody stealing it.

00:03:24.380 Yeah, think about that.

00:03:29.680 Which part am I wrong about?

00:03:31.600 Am I wrong that robots will be expensive?

00:03:34.320 They will be stealable, I'm pretty sure.

00:03:36.880 And robots won't be able to protect themselves, right?

00:03:45.220 Because you're not going to give the robot like a flamethrower.

00:03:49.540 So, you have to have human beings with guns to protect your robots.

00:03:53.520 Three per robot.

00:03:54.400 Now, in reality, you would have a smaller security force

00:04:00.600 guarding a larger body of robots,

00:04:03.140 but there must be a whole bunch of situations

00:04:05.580 where somebody just has one robot.

00:04:08.460 Let's say you run a junkyard,

00:04:12.060 like literally a junkyard.

00:04:13.740 You might only need one robot to run the whole junkyard,

00:04:17.140 but you're going to need a person there

00:04:18.820 to make sure somebody doesn't steal that one robot.

00:04:21.960 Or how about this?

00:04:23.000 At some point, I predict,

00:04:26.380 if you just straight line what's happening now,

00:04:29.520 that all of the jobs that have any value and productivity

00:04:32.660 will go to robots,

00:04:34.420 but that will leave all of the DEI jobs for humans.

00:04:40.040 So, I believe the inevitable future

00:04:42.180 is that all productive work will be robots and AI,

00:04:46.400 and all unproductive work,

00:04:48.100 and I'm talking about DEI,

00:04:50.380 will all be humans.

00:04:51.240 And we'll get to the point where the humans

00:04:53.140 don't do anything but accuse each other of racism.

00:04:58.960 And that's really all we're good for,

00:05:00.960 because if you compare us to robots,

00:05:03.280 the robots are going to be smarter, faster,

00:05:05.940 work all day,

00:05:07.840 no complaints,

00:05:09.180 no lawsuits.

00:05:09.900 really the one and only thing that humans are going to be good for

00:05:14.340 is accusing each other of being racist in different ways.

00:05:18.240 So, probably it's nothing but robots and DEI consultants,

00:05:23.200 and everything else will be unnecessary.

00:05:26.620 Well, you can expect that someday in the very near future,

00:05:30.060 in the Dilbert comic,

00:05:32.880 Dogbert will be a career advisor

00:05:34.800 in the world of AI and robots.

00:05:38.460 Dogbert's advice will not be,

00:05:41.260 let's say,

00:05:42.840 motivational.

00:05:43.580 I haven't written these comics yet,

00:05:48.700 but I'm already laughing about Dogbert giving advice

00:05:51.640 for the age of robots.

00:05:55.140 Well, we can make a potato battery on you, maybe,

00:05:57.900 but that's about all you're good for.

00:06:01.640 Well, I like to say this as often as possible

00:06:04.120 until people accept it as their preferred frame.

00:06:08.300 The Democrats are dominated by young people and women.

00:06:12.400 Is that a fair statement?

00:06:14.460 The Democrat Party has a big advantage in young people 0.90

00:06:18.380 and women in particular,

00:06:21.120 and single women in particular. 0.64

00:06:23.520 What can we say about those two groups,

00:06:25.860 young people and single women,

00:06:30.000 younger single women? 0.99

00:06:32.020 We can say that the young people,

00:06:34.920 both male and female, 1.00

00:06:35.980 are our dumbest citizens. 1.00

00:06:38.040 When it comes to politics. 1.00

00:06:40.340 Now, I say that not because

00:06:42.260 I think they have low IQs.

00:06:44.860 No, nothing like that.

00:06:46.140 They have perfectly good intelligence.

00:06:48.800 It's just that,

00:06:49.820 do you remember what you were like when you were 20? 1.00

00:06:53.500 Does anybody remember how stupid you were 1.00

00:06:56.060 when you were 20? 1.00

00:06:58.340 I like to tell this story for,

00:07:00.980 you know, in case you don't see me acting humble enough.

00:07:03.880 Would anybody like to see me act humble

00:07:05.680 for the first time ever?

00:07:07.340 Come on, sometimes I act humble.

00:07:11.560 But it would be very rare.

00:07:12.800 I'd like to demonstrate it for you now.

00:07:16.260 I have to get ready for this.

00:07:18.140 A rare act of humility.

00:07:19.880 Okay, get ready for it.

00:07:23.300 Okay, I think I can do it.

00:07:25.800 It's going to be tough for me.

00:07:28.800 The first time I ever voted in a presidential election,

00:07:32.020 I voted for Jimmy Carter.

00:07:34.640 Do I need to say anything else about the level of my intellectual

00:07:45.160 and political sophistication at the time?

00:07:48.140 No, I managed to pick the president who became famous as the worst president of all time

00:07:54.660 until Joe Biden.

00:07:56.520 That's right.

00:07:58.500 That's right.

00:07:58.520 My first try at being a voter,

00:08:01.820 first try,

00:08:03.900 I voted for Jimmy Carter.

00:08:06.360 Once I realized what I had done,

00:08:09.580 what followed was many years of not voting

00:08:12.580 under the theory that I could not be trusted to vote.

00:08:16.140 Oh, I was very aware of it.

00:08:20.260 I would look at my choices and I would say,

00:08:22.960 okay, Scott, remember,

00:08:25.060 you did vote for Jimmy Carter,

00:08:27.260 but worse.

00:08:28.860 It gets worse.

00:08:30.360 Not only did I vote for Jimmy Carter,

00:08:32.920 but at the time of my vote,

00:08:35.040 I was feeling pretty confident about it.

00:08:38.520 Yep.

00:08:39.420 Feeling pretty confident.

00:08:41.460 I dare say,

00:08:43.060 I don't recall specifically,

00:08:44.500 but I imagine if somebody got into a political conversation with me,

00:08:49.600 I might have been arrogant.

00:08:52.980 I might have been.

00:08:54.720 I might have been a little arrogant.

00:08:57.220 So, 1.00

00:08:58.140 I was a smug idiot. 1.00

00:09:01.680 I was a smug idiot. 1.00

00:09:03.920 Pretty sure I had all the answers. 1.00

00:09:06.840 I'm 21.

00:09:07.720 What could there be left to learn?

00:09:09.820 I'm pretty done learning.

00:09:10.960 I'm done learning.

00:09:12.400 Now I'm smarter than all the old people. 1.00

00:09:15.080 Who have been just sitting around and rotting since they were 21.

00:09:18.440 Getting worse.

00:09:19.720 But now I'm 21.

00:09:21.200 And I'm at the peak of my intellectual powers.

00:09:24.820 Vote for Jimmy Carter.

00:09:26.960 All right.

00:09:27.200 So you've got a bunch of young people in the Democrats.

00:09:30.300 And then as we've often discussed, 0.99

00:09:33.420 young single women have the greatest mental problems. 0.73

00:09:37.440 And it's not a close call. 0.99

00:09:39.980 They have the most mental problems by a lot.

00:09:44.340 What else do these two groups have in common? 0.98

00:09:46.500 They can be the most easily fooled and brainwashed and hypnotized.

00:09:54.240 Do you know how people always say senior citizens are the easiest to scam?

00:09:58.200 Do you believe that?

00:10:00.920 Do you believe senior citizens are the easiest to scam? 1.00

00:10:04.060 Not even close.

00:10:09.160 It's true that senior citizens are often scammed.

00:10:12.800 Do you know why they get scammed more than young people?

00:10:16.320 Because they have money.

00:10:17.300 There's no point in scamming a 20-year-old.

00:10:21.460 What are you going to get?

00:10:22.180 A pack of cigarettes?

00:10:24.080 You scam old people because they got money. 0.99

00:10:26.380 Right.

00:10:26.880 Now, are there lots of old people who get scammed because they're not quite with it?

00:10:31.460 Yes.

00:10:31.940 Yes.

00:10:32.460 At a certain age, it's pretty dangerous to make your own decisions.

00:10:36.380 But you know what's even more dangerous?

00:10:39.340 Voting at 21.

00:10:40.380 I voted for Jimmy Carter.

00:10:43.280 Have I mentioned that?

00:10:45.480 Yeah.

00:10:46.300 Compare that. 0.99

00:10:48.020 Compare the people, the young women who are marching in favor of the rapists, the anti-LGBTQ rapists. 0.98

00:10:56.280 They're marching in favor of them. 0.96

00:10:58.560 Is that because of all their intelligence and all their wisdom?

00:11:03.820 No. 0.97

00:11:04.940 It's a form of mental illness and they've been hypnotized and brainwashed.

00:11:09.480 And every time we treat this like it's anything else, like it's a difference of opinion, it's not a difference of opinion.

00:11:18.600 It's literally insanity and a low level of awareness of how anything works.

00:11:26.380 Do you think that the young Democrats are aware that their entire party is essentially a RICO criminal enterprise?

00:11:37.280 Do you think they're aware of that?

00:11:38.980 Of course not.

00:11:40.480 You have to get to a pretty sophisticated point before you can see it all.

00:11:45.200 Because it's kind of invisible until you know a lot about a lot of things and then it all comes together. 1.00

00:11:49.820 So, the Democrat Party is the party of the dumbest and least mentally capable people. 1.00

00:11:59.600 And that's based on data. 1.00

00:12:01.840 It's not even an insult.

00:12:03.380 That's just a description.

00:12:04.600 And there's a study from Dr. Michael Taylor, UCL Economics.

00:12:11.080 It says that basically your opinions are assigned to you by the media.

00:12:16.160 So, motivated reasoning, he calls it.

00:12:20.220 People just want to agree with their team, basically.

00:12:24.100 So, this is an extension of what I told you about persuasion.

00:12:30.100 If you want to change somebody's mind, the most effective way to do it, I mean, it's hard, but the most effective way is to change who they think they are.

00:12:42.400 So, if I told, let's say if I took a bunch of, you know, young people and I said, let's talk about each of these issues.

00:12:52.380 And you go, one issue at a time, all right, abortion, the war, taxes, and you would be debating about all these things and you'd probably be losing.

00:13:02.240 But, suppose you'd be losing in the sense that nobody ever changes their mind.

00:13:07.740 But, suppose you started telling people that they were a different party.

00:13:14.000 And you just say, you know, the more I listen to you, you're wise beyond your years.

00:13:19.580 I really expect you to be more of a conservative.

00:13:24.400 You know, you can actually talk somebody into a different identity and then all of the opinions will come with it.

00:13:29.920 But, it's really hard to talk somebody out of an opinion.

00:13:32.640 But, you can talk somebody into changing their identity.

00:13:36.160 Believe it or not, it's easier.

00:13:37.500 It's not easy, but it's easier than getting somebody to change their opinions before they change their identity.

00:13:43.500 So, change their identity first. 0.98

00:13:45.060 Phil Bump, as you know from the disgraced Washington Post, barely a publication, certainly more of a propagandist entity.

00:13:59.020 So, there's an article in the New York Post, which is not the same as the Washington Post, different posts.

00:14:07.640 And, the New York Post was doing an expose on where the money was coming from for the protesters, the college Hamas, pro-Hamas protesters.

00:14:19.640 And, the bottom line was that some amount of it came from Soros funding, maybe not directly, but through entities that he funded, and then those entities became part of this protest.

00:14:33.180 So, what did the Washington Post do when that article came out?

00:14:38.580 In mere hours, I think it was only six hours later, there was a whole gigantic Phil Bump article trying to debunk that Soros was involved,

00:14:49.600 and saying that any indication that Soros was funding these people was anti-Semitic.

00:14:54.740 So, here's an example.

00:14:59.860 Imagine explaining what I'm explaining to you, to a 21-year-old, a college student.

00:15:06.600 And, I'd say, all right, so you know Phil Bump?

00:15:08.900 And, they'd say, who?

00:15:10.380 Phil Bump.

00:15:11.420 You know, like the most famous propagandist for the most famous propaganda newspaper.

00:15:19.040 But, what's the most famous propaganda newspaper?

00:15:22.080 You know, the Washington Post.

00:15:23.200 Yeah, everybody knows the Washington Post is just propaganda.

00:15:28.160 I didn't know that.

00:15:29.940 Maybe it just disagrees with Trump.

00:15:32.860 No, I mean, everybody knows that.

00:15:35.960 So, that's what your conversation would look like.

00:15:38.860 There's no way you could convince a young person with enough context that they could see the whole field.

00:15:45.580 They're looking through the keyhole at everything.

00:15:47.620 So, Phil Bump runs some cover for George Soros.

00:15:53.760 Soros being part of that whole Atlantic group, Masters of the Universe. 0.75

00:15:58.720 And, the Washington Post being part of their, apparently, covering for them.

00:16:04.160 So, there we go.

00:16:08.380 There's a Trump lawyer, Christina Bobb, who has so many charges against her because of all the January 6th stuff and the alternate electors that the Democrats call the fake electors. 1.00

00:16:20.480 So, she could spend the rest of her life in jail. 0.62

00:16:26.940 Now, that's a lot of Trump supporters and lawyers going to jail.

00:16:34.760 Do you think that a young person has any idea what's going on with all of this?

00:16:41.440 Because young people think that they were, quote, fake electors.

00:16:47.220 Fake electors.

00:16:48.560 And, every time you see that, that they tried to do fake, fraudulent electors.

00:16:53.660 And, then, somebody will run a clip of the Hillary Clinton team doubting the 2016 election and talking about their own alternate electors.

00:17:05.140 Totally a process.

00:17:07.640 Totally a process that's normal. 0.99

00:17:09.920 And, most of the Democrats, who are young people and are dumbest citizens and also mental illness, they believe that just because the news told them that the electors were fake, that that means it was illegal. 0.99

00:17:27.940 Nope. 0.99

00:17:29.140 They do not understand any of the context.

00:17:32.720 And, if there's anybody here who doesn't understand it, here's what would happen.

00:17:36.740 The fake electors, also known as alternate electors, should Trump have put them forth, there would be some legal case, and then the courts would sort it out, and then they would decide which electors are the real ones, and then we would just go on with our business.

00:17:56.220 There was never any risk to the system, not even a little bit.

00:18:00.420 It was literally just a bureaucratic, paperwork-y kind of thing.

00:18:05.080 And, nobody was going to allow Trump to take over the country with some paperwork.

00:18:12.040 Who believed that?

00:18:14.020 Do you think that you could run a coup with paperwork?

00:18:17.040 Oh, we changed the box we checked.

00:18:21.280 We checked a different box, and now we rule the world.

00:18:24.640 If you don't believe us, look at the box we checked.

00:18:27.860 People, we check the box.

00:18:30.200 That means we run the country.

00:18:31.720 Oh, you and your constitution, and your military, and your 340 million people who don't agree with this at all.

00:18:40.120 Don't you know?

00:18:40.980 I checked the box on a piece of paper.

00:18:43.800 Therefore, I must run the country.

00:18:45.880 Who is going to accept that?

00:18:49.000 Was there ever any risk that the Democrats were going to go,

00:18:52.560 you lost that election?

00:18:53.820 Wait a minute.

00:18:54.480 Oh, oh, I didn't know you checked the box on the piece of paper.

00:18:59.300 Well, okay, I guess the election is over, and Trump won because the box and the piece of paper.

00:19:06.220 That's actually what the Democrats think, that he was this close to taking over the country by checking the wrong box on a piece of paper. 1.00

00:19:14.200 Like, that's just mental illness and stupidity. 1.00

00:19:20.640 Young stupidity. 1.00

00:20:26.100 All right.

00:20:28.500 Here's what we need.

00:20:29.740 We need a sanctuary state for Republicans. 0.92

00:20:32.220 Is that legal?

00:20:33.340 Hell no.

00:20:34.140 It's not legal to have a sanctuary state.

00:20:36.660 Because the federal law says you can't hide in one state if the other state wants you.

00:20:41.420 You've got to give them to them.

00:20:42.960 But that doesn't work with sanctuary cities, does it?

00:20:45.600 Why can you have a sanctuary city if you can't have a sanctuary state?

00:20:50.040 So I think quite legitimately, literally, we need a sanctuary state.

00:20:56.760 Texas or Florida come to mind.

00:20:59.440 But wouldn't it be good if somebody who is being charged for what are obviously just politically motivated charges,

00:21:07.540 don't you think that the lawfare people should have a state to escape to?

00:21:11.100 Now, they could never leave.

00:21:13.420 You know, they wouldn't be able to leave.

00:21:15.580 But it would be better than going to jail for life.

00:21:19.580 Don't you think it would be okay to live in Florida for your life instead of going to jail?

00:21:24.280 Well, so quite literally, I want to see a sanctuary state.

00:21:29.180 Is it illegal?

00:21:30.740 Yes.

00:21:31.720 It's as illegal as the sanctuary cities.

00:21:34.500 And if you want to end one of them, you better end both of them.

00:21:38.620 I think as long as there are sanctuary cities that are allowed,

00:21:42.720 I think there could be a sanctuary state.

00:21:45.520 You just have to assert it and make them fight you.

00:21:52.040 All right.

00:21:53.180 Elise Stefanik, she just filed an official ethics complaint about Jack Smith with the Department of Justice,

00:22:01.960 professional responsibility group for illegally interfering with the election.

00:22:08.340 So Jack Smith is the subject of a complaint.

00:22:12.180 So he's the prosecutor prosecuting Trump for which of the lawfare cases is he?

00:22:18.860 The boxes?

00:22:20.320 He's the Mar-a-Lago boxes guy, right?

00:22:23.440 So, yeah, the Mar-a-Lago boxes.

00:22:27.200 And now the prosecutor is going to be, is being accused of interfering with the election.

00:22:34.220 I like this.

00:22:35.880 Now, will it go anywhere?

00:22:37.320 I don't know.

00:22:37.780 But do you think that Jack Smith is, in fact, trying to interfere with an election?

00:22:43.040 Oh, yes.

00:22:43.840 Very much so.

00:22:45.900 It is very obvious that he's trying to interfere with an election.

00:22:50.000 And it's very obvious that this has very little to do with the law or justice or any of that stuff.

00:22:55.900 So, yeah.

00:22:57.120 At least I give you an A-plus for pushing this.

00:23:01.000 And I don't care how it turns out.

00:23:02.800 I don't expect it will go well.

00:23:05.420 But, yes, you should be doing this.

00:23:07.040 This is what we pay you for.

00:23:09.240 Thank you.

00:23:09.900 Thank you, Elise Stefanik, for doing the job that I think you're getting paid for.

00:23:15.520 Appreciate it.

00:23:16.580 Like, literally, I appreciate it.

00:23:18.180 As a citizen, thank you.

00:23:21.100 Thank you for doing this.

00:23:24.000 All right.

00:23:24.360 There's a black researcher.

00:23:28.480 Was I so bad I didn't write down his name? 0.96

00:23:32.420 Man, I'm terrible.

00:23:33.180 Oh, his last name is Smith.

00:23:34.580 And he's got a thesis that DEI is racist because it rests on prescribing, quote, approved ways that black people should behave and think.

00:23:46.840 Now, do you see the connection?

00:23:53.160 So, DEI, from one black man's opinion, is racist itself because it assumes that black people think and act in a similar fashion.

00:24:06.200 And I had to think about that one for a while. 0.69

00:24:09.840 I was like, wait a minute.

00:24:12.180 But it's supposed to be about discrimination.

00:24:14.080 It's not really about how you think or act.

00:24:17.160 But if you think or thought or act differently, would you be ostracized?

00:24:21.460 Yes.

00:24:22.280 Yes.

00:24:23.560 And one of the examples was when Biden said, if you don't support Biden, you ain't black.

00:24:31.560 Now, that's not DEI, but that would be an example of a white guy saying that black people should think the same. 0.73

00:24:39.760 Not cool. 0.92

00:24:41.820 Very not cool. 0.72

00:24:42.860 And the same people who think that black people should think the same are the ones pushing the DEI. 0.59

00:24:51.000 So, I'm not sure I agree totally with the thesis that DEI itself is racist against black people.

00:24:57.140 But his larger point that we have these set of assumptions about people thinking and acting in a similar fashion are very much racist.

00:25:06.180 Very much racist.

00:25:08.320 So, that's a good point. 0.84

00:25:12.860 And one of the other points is that if you're a black academic and you write a thesis or a paper, it's expected that you would write your paper with a black angle.

00:25:25.080 In other words, if you write the example given was if you do a paper about Plato in order to be a proper black academic, according to other people,

00:25:35.200 the expectation is you'd have to write the impact on black America of Plato being taught at school.

00:25:41.360 Like, you've got to add the black angle or else you ain't black, as Biden would say. 0.59

00:25:47.420 So, yeah, I would say I hadn't really thought about it, but there is this whole system of expectations about how you're supposed to think and act if you're black, 0.95

00:25:57.640 and that's pretty racist. 0.54

00:25:59.940 Pretty racist.

00:26:02.000 All right. 0.99

00:26:02.860 Here's my pro tip for black people.

00:26:05.880 I'd like to give, this could be my segment I would call, white people give advice to black people. 0.95

00:26:14.420 Can you imagine anything that would be more obnoxious? 0.85

00:26:18.560 That's right.

00:26:19.400 I'm going to do it right in front of you. 0.99

00:26:21.300 White people give advice to black people. 0.99

00:26:25.080 Doesn't that just make the hairs in the back of your neck go up if you're black? 0.99

00:26:29.260 You're like, are you serious now? 0.97

00:26:31.760 Are you serious?

00:26:33.380 You're going to give us advice?

00:26:35.560 Yes, I am.

00:26:36.540 Best advice you ever got.

00:26:38.320 That's how helpful I am.

00:26:40.600 And it goes like this.

00:26:43.660 I understand white people, and here's something you might not know.

00:26:47.500 Racism only lasts until you start talking.

00:26:52.360 Racism only lasts until you start talking.

00:26:56.800 And then it's about you.

00:26:59.720 Then it's all about you.

00:27:01.160 Let me give you the visual example. 1.00

00:27:04.460 You're a black person. 0.98

00:27:05.620 You're going to a company that has a lot of white people working there.

00:27:08.660 Your manager is white, the one you want to work for. 0.99

00:27:11.360 And you walk into the situation.

00:27:14.340 If you walk in wearing a nice suit, let's say it's a job that calls for that professional dress.

00:27:20.540 And you make eye contact, you shake hands, you've got a little American flag pin on your lapel, and you speak perfect English, and it's obvious that you care about grammar and just coming off well.

00:27:37.540 How long does the racism last?

00:27:42.140 Less than a second?

00:27:44.600 Yeah. 0.93

00:27:45.460 Now, I don't know if anybody black even knows that. 0.88

00:27:48.360 Does anybody black know that? 0.95

00:27:49.780 That the racism disappears. 0.75

00:27:53.440 And in fact, there might be even a reverse effect, where if you hit a racist, and you walk in and you're presenting yourself in the most professional, you know, cool way, even the racist wants to hire you.

00:28:10.160 Do you get that? 0.55

00:28:11.280 I'll bet that's completely unknown to anybody, anybody who's black. 0.95

00:28:17.380 I'll bet nobody black knows this. 1.00

00:28:19.240 I'll bet nobody, like literally nobody, even the racist white guy will prefer you if you walk in and you just nail the first impression. 0.97

00:28:29.460 Why?

00:28:30.480 So he can prove he's not a racist.

00:28:33.460 Did you not know that?

00:28:35.480 The racist wants to prove they're not a racist.

00:28:37.720 So if you walk in and you've got the goods, yeah, you've got the job, because you solve two problems.

00:28:44.260 One, you're a good employee, or it looks like it.

00:28:46.860 And two, hey, you made the racist look like not so much of a racist.

00:28:50.240 Look, I hired this guy.

00:28:52.500 So I don't think black people are taught this, probably the most valuable lesson you'll ever learn in your life. 1.00

00:29:01.320 Racism only lasts until you start talking.

00:29:03.900 Now, I would add that a professional appearance would help.

00:29:08.800 If your pants are sagging, but you're talking perfectly, that's going to be a mixed message.

00:29:14.700 But if you put yourself together, and I don't mean dressing like a white person, right?

00:29:19.380 You can have your own version of style, et cetera.

00:29:22.280 That's fine, as long as it's professional.

00:29:23.980 And nobody knows that.

00:29:29.120 Because if you knew that, the whole thing would fall apart.

00:29:32.340 The whole DEI, the whole everything.

00:29:34.660 It all depends on the white person not being able to judge people as individuals.

00:29:41.560 How long does it take you to form an opinion of another person?

00:29:45.140 Ten seconds?

00:29:46.520 Ten seconds, right?

00:29:47.540 Somebody makes eye contact, gives you a good handshake, looks good, and you can tell by the way they talk that they care about talking in a professional way.

00:29:59.620 You're all good.

00:30:01.460 You're all good.

00:30:03.520 Suppose you come in and somebody knows that you're religious.

00:30:08.580 I don't know how you do it.

00:30:09.820 But let's say you drop something, you know, you drop a hint or something that you're very church-going.

00:30:18.100 It takes somebody about one minute to say, what did you say?

00:30:22.600 Go to church every Sunday?

00:30:24.580 Excellent.

00:30:26.040 All right.

00:30:26.340 Now I know more about you than I knew by your race.

00:30:30.400 See, the race is this weird proxy where if you don't have any other information, you're tempted to use it as the only information you have.

00:30:38.360 People never say, I don't have any information, therefore I will form no opinion.

00:30:44.900 We don't do that.

00:30:46.320 We form an opinion.

00:30:49.240 And then sometimes we go looking for the information.

00:30:52.840 So if you don't have any better information, yeah, you might be a little prejudiced.

00:30:58.440 You might be a bigot.

00:30:59.800 But the moment you open your mouth, all gone. 0.99

00:31:04.380 It's the magic trick of white people. 1.00

00:31:06.420 If you want to manipulate white people to get what you want, show up on time, good handshake, eye contact, dress well, speak well, say what you're going to do for the company. 0.84

00:31:20.840 You'll get every job.

00:31:23.160 Every job.

00:31:24.560 You'll never even not get an offer.

00:31:27.240 I mean, basically it's that easy. 0.94

00:31:28.660 So there's your pro tip from a white guy giving advice to black people. 0.98

00:31:39.220 By the way, that's the most useful thing you'll ever hear if you're black. 0.99

00:31:44.800 Literally. 0.99

00:31:45.740 It will be the most useful thing you'll ever hear if you're black. 1.00

00:31:50.240 All right. 0.94

00:31:54.220 Nancy Pelosi was on MSNBC and a funny viral moment happened.

00:31:58.760 So she was talking to MSNBC's Katie Turr.

00:32:02.660 And Pelosi said, Donald Trump has the worst record of job losses of any president.

00:32:08.420 And then Katie Turr just sort of in a low voice, just sort of slips in.

00:32:15.680 There was a global pandemic.

00:32:21.220 Pelosi, she freezes.

00:32:24.840 Her eyes become saucers because she doesn't believe what's happening to her.

00:32:29.520 She's on MSNBC and she just got called out for the biggest lie the Democrats are telling lately.

00:32:36.380 That Joe Biden was good for jobs when really it was just coming off of a pandemic.

00:32:41.520 That's all it was.

00:32:43.080 And what did Pelosi do?

00:32:44.540 She repeated it like you're not supposed to say that.

00:32:55.440 Trump lost jobs and Biden gained them.

00:32:58.780 And it looked like she was literally going to like her head was going to explode. 0.99

00:33:03.180 And then finally, Pelosi attacked Katie Turr.

00:33:07.440 She says, if you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain't mine.

00:33:12.860 An apologist.

00:33:15.980 All she did was add the context that you were coming out of a pandemic.

00:33:22.180 Now, isn't that context a little bit important?

00:33:26.680 A little bit relevant?

00:33:27.660 Like it would be like it would be the news, like it would be Katie Turr's entire point.

00:33:33.840 And then it gets worse.

00:33:35.360 By the way, here's the part of the story.

00:33:36.840 If you saw this story, this is the part you didn't see.

00:33:40.040 Then Katie Turr says, after being called an apologist for Donald Trump, she said something like, well, you know, that nobody would ever call me that.

00:33:48.620 In other words, Katie Turr's defense was that she's anti-Trump on the news. 0.99

00:33:58.500 So not only did Nancy Pelosi completely reveal that she's expecting them to basically just agree with whatever she says, but then Katie Turr basically confesses that she doesn't plan to be fair because nobody would call her pro-Trump. 0.80

00:34:19.200 The entire Democrat machine is just falling apart, and it's glorious.

00:34:26.300 The White House officially claims, I think this was the, was this the Daily Wire?

00:34:36.260 Somebody did this.

00:34:37.660 But the White House has corrected Biden 148 times during 2024.

00:34:44.560 148 times.

00:34:46.220 So 148 times he said something that was incorrect, and after the fact they had to, you know, issue a clarification.

00:34:54.040 148 times in 2024.

00:34:58.320 The year is new.

00:35:01.720 So got that working for him.

00:35:06.320 Here's a question.

00:35:07.360 Have you wondered why the big Wall Street firms were buying all these private residents?

00:35:13.860 You ever wonder that?

00:35:15.440 And then I read the news about why they're doing it, and it says they're doing it to rent them out.

00:35:21.000 So that these gigantic entities like BlackRock and others are buying all these, like one in four new homes are being bought by these big entities, and it says it's to rent them out.

00:35:35.480 Do you believe that?

00:35:37.680 Do you believe that they think that's a good business model, to buy a new house and rent it out?

00:35:42.400 Let me tell you something that I know, because I have a degree in economics, and maybe you don't.

00:35:48.820 That's not a thing.

00:35:50.240 You can't buy a new house and make money renting it out.

00:35:54.020 You all know that, right?

00:35:56.120 But this is the news.

00:35:58.020 The news just told me they're buying them to rent them out.

00:36:01.260 Now, they are renting them out.

00:36:02.440 But don't you think the story should include that there's no way to make money doing that?

00:36:08.140 Do you think you could go buy a new house and rent it out and make money?

00:36:12.100 No.

00:36:12.640 They're priced so you can't do that.

00:36:14.460 There's no way in the world.

00:36:16.200 Our rents are completely out of whack with the home purchase.

00:36:19.300 You can't buy a new house and rent it and make money.

00:36:22.280 But the news is telling you you can.

00:36:24.620 Do you know why they told you that?

00:36:26.520 Because they don't know anything about economics.

00:36:28.860 They don't know anything about business.

00:36:30.080 That's not a business model.

00:36:32.420 So why are they doing it?

00:36:34.460 Why are the biggest, smartest people, the richest people buying tons of private residence?

00:36:40.960 It's not to rent it.

00:36:44.240 There is a reason.

00:36:48.500 Okay, you're right.

00:36:49.740 Assets storage.

00:36:50.720 Exactly.

00:36:51.560 It's an inflation hedge.

00:36:54.100 Because if inflation is out of control, your money will become worthless,

00:36:57.820 but your houses will go up in value.

00:37:00.080 Probably at least keeping up with inflation.

00:37:02.780 And that's what's happened so far.

00:37:04.980 So no, it's not about renting out the houses.

00:37:07.820 It's because they think your dollar will become worthless.

00:37:11.220 But people still have to live someplace.

00:37:14.800 Yeah.

00:37:14.940 It's the worst case scenario that the smartest people think that money will become worthless, basically.

00:37:26.040 They would put it in financial instruments if they believed otherwise.

00:37:29.580 So that's what that's all about.

00:37:31.100 I think, I mean, unless somebody has a better idea.

00:37:33.100 Those of you who know economics agree with me, right?

00:37:37.740 Is there anybody who knows this field who disagrees?

00:37:41.780 That it's not about renting them.

00:37:43.360 I mean, renting them is better than not renting them, but it's all about just not losing money to inflation, I think.

00:37:50.240 All right.

00:37:53.460 All right. 0.94

00:37:53.500 MSNBC's Nicole Wallace had a batshit crazy moment where she went all wide-eyed and that saucer-eyed liar thing 1.00

00:38:06.700 and said that if Donald Trump wins in November, there might not be a White House Correspondents' Dinner or a free press.

00:38:17.400 That's right.

00:38:18.200 Donald Trump is going to end the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

00:38:22.100 How in the world can our republic survive not having a dress-up dinner where the people, the press are supposed to be covering objectively,

00:38:33.640 have drinks with them, and have a lot of jokes with them.

00:38:39.160 Yeah, that would be the end of democracy if you couldn't have that one dinner.

00:38:44.740 What?

00:38:45.660 But also that he would get rid of the free press.

00:38:50.760 Have you noticed that the argument in favor of Biden is now so bankrupt that all they have left is putting words together?

00:39:01.840 Literally.

00:39:02.280 How is he doing on the economy versus Trump?

00:39:06.100 Oh, terrible.

00:39:07.280 Immigration versus Trump, terrible.

00:39:09.700 Who had the better performance as president?

00:39:12.200 He's looking terrible.

00:39:13.960 You go right down the line and Biden looks like a disaster.

00:39:18.980 So the only thing you can come up with are things that you can concoct out of nothing with words.

00:39:25.900 And ifs. 0.99

00:39:26.620 If Trump gets elected, aliens from the Nebula 6 will attack and kill us all. 0.98

00:39:36.180 So whatever you do, don't vote for that Trump because the aliens will attack. 0.98

00:39:41.260 Because that's true because the words make sentences that make sense.

00:39:47.420 Look, watch me put some words together.

00:39:50.040 Trump will steal your democracy.

00:39:53.420 There.

00:39:54.080 Look at that.

00:39:54.560 I put words together.

00:39:56.260 Watch me do it again. 0.99

00:39:57.140 Trump will shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue. 1.00

00:40:01.360 Maybe all of you. 1.00

00:40:02.780 He'll shoot you all on Fifth Avenue. 1.00

00:40:06.500 That's all they have. 1.00

00:40:08.300 Batshit crazy women with big saucer eyes scaring you with words. 1.00

00:40:12.680 Oh, we're going to take away our free press. 1.00

00:40:16.520 My democracy is going away.

00:40:20.340 Yep.

00:40:21.900 Good mental health there.

00:40:25.200 Well, did you know this?

00:40:26.560 James Freeman at the Wall Street Journal opinion piece tells us that there are more never Biden voters than never Trumpers.

00:40:38.840 Substantially.

00:40:39.520 There are more never Bidens than never Trumpers.

00:40:43.860 Have you ever heard the phrase never Biden?

00:40:46.420 Nope.

00:40:48.100 Nope.

00:40:49.400 Have you ever heard the phrase a never Trump voter?

00:40:52.400 Every single day.

00:40:54.700 Why is that?

00:40:55.620 When there are more people who say they would never vote for Biden than Trump.

00:40:59.780 Well, that's exactly why you think it is.

00:41:02.020 Because the press is illegitimate.

00:41:06.600 My favorite story that's not yet confirmed.

00:41:09.520 But it's looking interesting.

00:41:11.620 It is about the Mar-a-Lago boxes.

00:41:14.900 And Julie Kelly's all over this.

00:41:17.160 Reporting on it.

00:41:18.500 And so apparently there were some boxes that the GSA packed and had in their own possession.

00:41:24.440 They were not yet at Mar-a-Lago that the GSA kept trying to get the Trump organization to take possession of.

00:41:31.600 Now, the interesting question is, could it be that the ones that the GSA had and they tried to make Trump take were the problem ones?

00:41:43.940 Is it possible that if there are any classified documents at all?

00:41:48.980 And I'm not sure about that.

00:41:49.980 That all of them are in the ones that the GSA packed for him and then suspiciously forced him to take.

00:41:57.540 It's a little bit suspicious, like a setup.

00:42:02.280 Now, if we had never seen the Russia collusion hoax, it would be hard to imagine that the government could run a setup like that.

00:42:12.500 If RFK Jr. were not claiming to know with certainty that his uncle was murdered by the CIA in an elaborate plot, well, you wouldn't think it's some kind of a setup.

00:42:24.540 If you hadn't seen 50 former and current intel people put a letter together that they knew was fake, saying that it looked like Russian interference, if we'd never seen that, then we would now think, well, the government can't do these massive, coordinated, you know, frauds.

00:42:44.060 Sure they can.

00:42:44.660 If we never lived through the pandemic, do I need to say more about that, you wouldn't think that the government could pull off a massive global fraud?

00:42:56.120 Sure they can.

00:42:57.600 If we didn't know about the Gulf of Tonkin, you'd never think that the government could start a whole war over something they made up?

00:43:06.160 Yes, they can.

00:43:07.740 Yes, they can.

00:43:09.000 What about, yeah.

00:43:09.640 Yeah, so you go right down the list, and you see that the Democrats do have a pretty good history of doing setups.

00:43:18.500 If you look at the lawfare against Trump, I would say all of that looks illegitimate.

00:43:24.060 So would it be unusual and out of the normal for the GSA to have a setup Trump by stuffing things in those boxes?

00:43:33.640 No, unfortunately, that would be right down the middle of what is normal.

00:43:37.660 Wouldn't you love to say that wasn't normal?

00:43:42.620 Wouldn't you love to say, Scott, you know, if you make an extraordinary claim like that, you better have extraordinary proof, right?

00:43:50.540 Carl Sagan.

00:43:51.960 An extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof.

00:43:55.460 I don't have any extraordinary proof.

00:43:56.860 But this is not an extraordinary claim.

00:44:02.880 This is a claim that things are working, in this case, the Mar-a-Lago boxes, exactly the way everything else worked, fraudulently.

00:44:12.920 The claim is that this was fraudulent, and my claim is that that would make it like every other thing in the news, just the same.

00:44:23.820 You do not need extraordinary proof for an ordinary event, and that would be very ordinary.

00:44:32.500 Sadly, it would be ordinary.

00:44:33.820 Well, Zuby is weighing in on the question of young men having a lot less sex.

00:44:43.880 He was looking at a graph, and he interpreted it this way.

00:44:47.260 He said that, so basically, a lot more men are virgins than young women.

00:44:52.660 He suggests that it means a lot of young women are sleeping with the same men, which, of course, they are, you know, the high-value men, but also older men.

00:45:03.820 And I think both of those are true.

00:45:07.540 Let me tell you something that I've heard many times as an older man during my times that I've been single.

00:45:16.460 One of the most common things I hear is that younger women can't stand men their age, just can't stand them, 0.81

00:45:26.260 and that they're looking for somebody who, they don't say this, but maybe reminded them of their dad a little bit more.

00:45:33.820 You know, a little bit more classically male.

00:45:38.660 You know what I mean?

00:45:39.700 A little less sensitive, a little less effeminate, a little less beta.

00:45:44.200 And there are a lot of young women who have figured out that the only way to find one, a man, who meets that standard that maybe they picked up from their parents, is an older guy.

00:45:58.580 So it's definitely a thing, and I can tell you, and obviously money has something to do with it, too.

00:46:03.520 So I wouldn't ignore that.

00:46:06.820 But no, there's, in addition to the money, there is very much a preference for older people.

00:46:16.480 So I'll tell you, years ago, many years ago, there was a, I was seeing a much younger woman, nobody you've ever heard of, so not anybody I married, nobody I've ever heard of.

00:46:29.960 And I broke up with her because I didn't think she should be with somebody my age.

00:46:34.260 Now, this was quite a while ago, but I was substantially older, and I didn't think it was good for her.

00:46:41.660 So even though things were fine, I broke it up because I thought, you know, I can't do this to her.

00:46:46.640 I don't want her to waste her young years on somebody that doesn't make sense.

00:46:52.120 She broke up with me, and her next boyfriend was several years older than me.

00:46:57.380 And she married him, and it was a great marriage.

00:47:03.420 You know, he passed away, eventually, because he was older.

00:47:07.480 But they did not get divorced.

00:47:10.720 And as far as I can tell, it was a perfectly happy marriage the entire way, you know, except for one of them goes too soon.

00:47:18.480 But I don't think that was unusual.

00:47:20.340 I think that there are, there is a fairly large percentage of young women who just can't stand young men. 1.00

00:47:30.020 That's a real thing.

00:47:32.800 Yeah.

00:47:36.660 And in the case I explained, it wasn't about the money at all.

00:47:44.000 I mean, there was no indication of it whatsoever.

00:47:46.700 So Christopher Ruffo is having fun with these college protests, because it works very well for his messaging.

00:47:58.940 And he says that the right, the political right, should let the college thing run out.

00:48:06.400 Just let it run. 0.94

00:48:07.720 Because every day that there's a protest on the college, and it looks like a bunch of crazy liberals, 0.96

00:48:13.800 it makes the conservatives look good.

00:48:18.180 And so the last thing the conservatives should want to do is stop it.

00:48:22.100 Because it's the liberals eating the liberals.

00:48:25.180 So it's basically driving a wedge in the left.

00:48:29.180 So even if the people on the right could do something productive, I don't think they can.

00:48:33.660 I mean, what can you do?

00:48:35.120 I mean, what are you going to do, really?

00:48:37.600 It's the left versus the left.

00:48:39.480 I mean, you're basically just watching if you're on the right.

00:48:43.940 But Ruffo is saying that it's great because the left is tearing itself apart.

00:48:48.880 And the longer the encampments stay, the more the left will fracture.

00:48:53.100 I believe he is right about that.

00:48:54.740 One of the funniest stories is the Pentagon says it can't calculate how much they're spending for diversity training

00:49:04.780 because Congress defunded their DEI offices.

00:49:09.400 The Daily Caller is reporting this.

00:49:11.040 So the Pentagon told Congress it could not provide the required accounting of diversity training,

00:49:18.780 just didn't have enough people working in DEI to do the accounting for how many people are working in DEI

00:49:24.140 and what they're spending.

00:49:26.880 Now, is that the perfect Dilbert story?

00:49:30.740 Oh, it will be a Dilbert.

00:49:34.280 The Dilbert Pentagon.

00:49:35.580 We don't have enough DEI people to do the accounting for how much we're spending on DEI people.

00:49:43.460 Oh, that's a real thing.

00:49:45.200 Yep.

00:49:46.360 That's a real thing.

00:49:49.340 And then what entity was it the other day?

00:49:53.760 Was it a company or a university that had 177 people under DEI staff?

00:49:58.600 Can you imagine being any organization that has 177 people under DEI staff?

00:50:06.160 Just DEI.

00:50:09.060 And as I commented, that seemed like a lethal dose.

00:50:13.220 Oh, it was a, I think it was a medical school or something.

00:50:18.120 I don't know.

00:50:21.420 Yeah.

00:50:22.060 So, that would be a lethal dose of DEI.

00:50:29.380 In a related story, the government, your federal government,

00:50:33.860 is looking at opening up some shuttered nuclear power plants.

00:50:38.540 And federal energy officials said that there are a number of them,

00:50:43.280 two in particular, but there might be more,

00:50:45.820 that could be unshuttered and reopened because nuclear is good clean energy.

00:50:50.980 Yeah.

00:50:52.060 Do you know what the problem with that is?

00:50:56.340 Suppose you had a shuttered nuclear power plant.

00:51:00.500 What are the chances you can hire back all the people who worked there in the first place?

00:51:04.740 None.

00:51:05.740 Because time is gone.

00:51:07.080 People are retired.

00:51:08.000 They moved.

00:51:09.020 Right.

00:51:09.340 You're not going to be able to hire the old staff back.

00:51:11.980 So, what are you going to do?

00:51:13.440 You're going to have to hire new people.

00:51:14.780 And let's say you start this program that's going to cost you, I don't know, $10 billion to reopen a nuke.

00:51:23.160 It's going to be billions, but let's just say $10 billion.

00:51:26.680 You're going to spend $10 billion on it, and all you need to do to make it successful is hire good people.

00:51:33.820 But, because of DEI, you have to hire diversity.

00:51:39.360 But, because of supply and demand and the numbers, and this has nothing to do with anybody's genetics or race or their culture, it has nothing to do with their gender.

00:51:51.180 There shouldn't be enough people to hire who are qualified and also hit the DEI mark.

00:51:59.320 So, you're going to put $10 billion into it.

00:52:02.700 Are you going to say, wow, thanks for the $10 billion, but we can't open this after all, because we can't hire enough people who are both diverse and qualified.

00:52:14.040 Do you think that's going to happen?

00:52:15.940 No, not in any world will that happen.

00:52:17.960 In the real world, here's what happens.

00:52:21.180 They take the $10 billion, because of course you take the $10 billion.

00:52:26.580 You hire as many qualified people as you can, because of course you want to hire qualified people.

00:52:32.700 And then you quickly run out.

00:52:35.300 And you say, oh, shoot, I've got to fill this with bodies or else I don't get my $10 billion of which I'm keeping part of it.

00:52:42.960 And so you say, well, this person isn't exactly qualified, but maybe we could train them on the job.

00:52:51.180 And then, well, this one isn't as qualified as it used to be in the old days, but I really need this diversity, so I'm going to take my chances.

00:53:01.880 How much of that do you think will happen before there's a nuclear meltdown, literally just because they can't get access to a pipeline of qualified people?

00:53:13.060 And again, nothing to do with anybody's race, nothing to do with genes, nothing to do with culture or gender or LGBTQ, none of that.

00:53:21.280 None of it has anything to do with this conversation.

00:53:24.840 It's just thrown enough.

00:53:27.620 Just not enough.

00:53:29.300 So I would say that we should put this in our hold, as long as DEI is still the dominant factor.

00:53:35.400 You can reopen a nuke, I like that idea, or you can have DEI.

00:53:40.640 But don't tell me you can do both, because we know you can't.

00:53:45.940 And if you're going to DEI me some nuclear power plants, no thank you.

00:53:50.560 I'd rather sit in the dark than believe that my nuclear power plant was insufficiently staffed, just because there was a shortage of people who were qualified, nothing to do with your genes, nothing to do with your culture, nothing to do with your gender.

00:54:04.500 I just have to say that every five seconds.

00:54:09.580 So yeah, I'm not in favor of reopening these nukes, while DEI is also active.

00:54:16.100 I think if the government says you can't have DEI in a nuclear facility, then I'm all in.

00:54:23.000 But if it's legal to have a DEI group, and you're hiring for your nuclear facility, I don't want to near me.

00:54:30.520 And I'm very pro-nuclear, by the way.

00:54:32.280 But, I mean, let's be reasonable.

00:54:35.800 You just don't combine DEI and nuclear power.

00:54:38.860 You just don't.

00:54:40.540 And if they're going to do it, I'm out.

00:54:42.340 I can't support that.

00:54:46.380 Well, Trump continues to look better than more he is out of office.

00:54:50.500 So now, just over half of Americans say they support mass deportation.

00:54:55.200 Can you even just hold that in your head?

00:54:58.600 How in the world is this election going to be close?

00:55:02.280 Half of the people are now in favor of Trump's most radical idea, his most offensive radical idea.

00:55:13.920 It was the entire reason he got, you know, branded as a racist.

00:55:17.700 And now it's sort of standard opinion.

00:55:21.340 Do you know what else could happen between now and Election Day?

00:55:24.600 There could be a terrorist event that's because of somebody who came through over the border.

00:55:33.060 Now, I'm not predicting it.

00:55:35.200 But it's definitely in the possibility set, you know, given what's happening with Iran and Hamas and all that.

00:55:43.960 The odds that at least one terrorist got through the border, and at least one of them is going to do something bad between now and Election Day is pretty good.

00:55:53.740 I would say it's a solid 30 or 40 percent odds.

00:56:01.580 It's pretty high, right?

00:56:03.800 Because normally your odds of a terror attack would be much lower.

00:56:06.920 Now, I think the reason we haven't had more terror attacks in the United States is because we have zero privacy and that the government is just scooping up every conversation everybody's having everywhere.

00:56:20.120 And they just absolutely know who's going to do a terrorist attack.

00:56:25.900 I think the government doesn't want us to know how good they are at stopping terrorism, because I think they can basically catch it all at this point.

00:56:35.100 Just by taking away all of our privacy, but not our democracy, which was already taken away a long time ago.

00:56:43.960 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to offer you some positivity to get your day going.

00:56:52.100 Anybody want some positivity?

00:56:55.060 All right, here it comes.

00:56:57.220 Everything that's happening right now that looks bad is really bad.

00:57:02.580 But every part of it guarantees that the current administration will be swept from power, and we're going to have a real good chance of fixing stuff.

00:57:11.300 Now, that assumes they don't rig the election, and as I've estimated before, I don't think Trump can win unless he's got a 10-point lead going into the election.

00:57:26.900 He needs a solid 10 points.

00:57:29.400 At 5%, I think they'd cheat the election away from him, because their incentive is so high.

00:57:34.980 If you have an incentive that high, you know, trying to stop Hitler, he's taking our freedom, our democracy, then yeah, of course they would cheat. 0.89

00:57:45.960 It would be crazy not to under those conditions.

00:57:48.260 If they believed that to be true, it would be crazy not to cheat.

00:57:51.760 But they're not going to get away with it if there's a 10-point difference on Election Day.

00:57:57.940 They just can't cheat that much.

00:57:59.440 So the whole game is to get Trump above 10 points.

00:58:04.380 And I really think 10, because it's double digits, you know, you've got to hit double digits before you can reasonably claim there's no way that election was real.

00:58:14.280 If you're within 2%, 4%, anything's possible.

00:58:19.160 Maybe the polling was flawed.

00:58:22.480 Maybe.

00:58:23.080 But 10 points, 10 points gets you a President Trump.

00:58:28.080 And right now, you've got the colleges completely falling apart, the college students going home and, you know, Zooming with their parents, who are the Democrats that sent them there.

00:58:38.780 That's not going to be popular.

00:58:41.960 And it seems to me that every single trend is pro-Trump at this point.

00:58:49.100 There's nothing that isn't pro-Trump, is there?

00:58:53.800 Can you think of anything that isn't pro-Trump in terms of the trend that you're observing?

00:58:58.960 I can't think of anything.

00:59:00.720 Am I missing anything?

00:59:02.580 There must be something that's anti-Trump.

00:59:04.900 Anything?

00:59:07.800 The only trends that are happening that are anti-Trump are artificial ones.

00:59:13.960 For example, there does seem to be an uptick in January 6th prosecutions.

00:59:20.040 Like Trump's lawyer, etc.

00:59:21.760 Now, maybe it's just my impression.

00:59:23.740 But it seems like Democrats are trying to create some kind of a news trend out of their own bad actions of law-faring Trump people.

00:59:32.720 Because they can turn that into, look how criminal all these Trump people are.

00:59:38.020 So they can literally illegitimately prosecute them, selective prosecution,

00:59:43.480 and then claim that it's a sign that they should have been prosecuted because there's so many of them that were prosecuted.

00:59:49.100 Look at how many we prosecuted.

00:59:50.980 That's proof they should have been prosecuted.

00:59:53.840 That's where they're heading on that.

00:59:58.160 Yes, indeed.

01:00:00.160 All right.

01:00:00.780 I feel like there was at least one thing that I want to tell you that I forgot.

01:00:03.960 Let me just check here.

01:00:06.440 College protests.

01:00:08.120 Never Biden.

01:00:09.080 Got that.

01:00:09.620 Got that.

01:00:11.980 Yeah, I think I got it all.

01:00:13.100 DEI is racist is my favorite story.

01:00:19.820 All right.

01:00:20.380 Ladies and gentlemen, what about Operation Warp Speed?

01:00:26.660 Well, Operation Warp Speed, I think, is history.

01:00:29.340 And the thing that can save Trump is that he did not mandate.

01:00:37.000 How many of you think that Trump is in the clear on vaccinations because he didn't mandate?

01:00:43.180 And you had basically the information that you needed.

01:00:48.680 Everybody knew that the vaccination was rushed.

01:00:52.220 Everybody knew that it had not been tested for five years.

01:00:54.960 What else did he need to know?

01:01:01.140 Was that enough?

01:01:03.100 See, as long as it wasn't mandatory and they say, we rushed this thing and, you know, it'd be great if we could test it for five years, but we didn't.

01:01:14.900 You had a choice.

01:01:16.680 Now, you were not well informed because you didn't know the actual risks.

01:01:20.300 But you knew it was a situation which had to be high risk.

01:01:25.820 It had to be.

01:01:27.840 Every one of you knew that.

01:01:29.980 So he gave you a choice of two risky situations and let you pick.

01:01:35.260 Here's your risky situation.

01:01:37.220 Take your chances with the COVID.

01:01:38.760 And we don't exactly know what's going on there because it's, you know, may have been made to be a weapon.

01:01:44.020 So maybe there's some tricks in there we haven't seen yet.

01:01:46.240 Or take your chance with the vaccination, which some would say is taking your chance with two things because it didn't help you with the COVID enough.

01:01:58.180 So I feel like he can sell that because he's selling freedom with information.

01:02:04.560 Now, if he said what he couldn't claim is that you knew from the scientists what the risks were, that would not be the right claim because we did not know from the scientists what the risks would be.

01:02:17.680 But we knew from the news.

01:02:19.920 We knew that they rushed and we knew that they could not possibly have time to check it for five years because it had only been one.

01:02:27.060 All that was known to everybody.

01:02:28.480 It was just the forcing you to take it that was the problem.

01:02:33.720 That was the problem.

01:02:34.800 And he wasn't behind that.

01:02:37.260 Yeah.

01:02:38.040 He wasn't for closing schools.

01:02:40.240 He wasn't for mandatory vaccinations.

01:02:43.100 I think he can make that work.

01:02:46.240 Trump hasn't tried hard enough to sell it.

01:02:48.500 What he has done is said that the vaccination saved lives.

01:02:54.080 And here's the problem with that.

01:02:55.640 How many of you do this?

01:02:59.240 I saw somebody smart did this the other day.

01:03:02.780 Cernovich.

01:03:04.240 So even Cernovich did this.

01:03:07.580 I think.

01:03:08.400 Well, I don't want to blame him if I'm thinking of somebody else.

01:03:11.380 So let me make this more generic so it's not about Cernovich.

01:03:15.280 How many of you would agree with the following statement?

01:03:19.380 The vaccinations did not work against COVID in any way.

01:03:24.100 Not only did they not stop transmission, that part we all know, but that they didn't reduce

01:03:31.800 your odds of hospitalization or death.

01:03:34.960 How many of you would say it's true that they had no value and, in fact, had negative value?

01:03:40.940 How many embrace that?

01:03:43.040 Negative value from the first day.

01:03:46.120 Now, here's the catch.

01:03:48.000 From day one.

01:03:49.080 So many of you would say it had no value from day one.

01:03:53.740 All right.

01:03:54.640 Now, let me ask you a follow-up question.

01:03:57.740 How many are aware that the virus morphed from something that was close to what the vaccination

01:04:05.260 would help with to something that was irrelevant to the vaccinations?

01:04:09.160 How many of you knew that COVID is not one thing?

01:04:13.600 It's maybe several things.

01:04:15.940 And that the claim from the people who disagree, and this is not my claim, this is the official

01:04:23.140 claim, is that it worked great against the alpha and maybe the delta.

01:04:28.860 But that as soon as Omicron came by, it was worse than, it was more negative than helpful.

01:04:35.400 Now, in my observation, most people don't make that distinction.

01:04:41.360 And they act like it was always Omicron.

01:04:44.880 Omicron is just a cold.

01:04:47.780 Omicron is just a cold.

01:04:49.480 And they act as though the only reason that there were excess deaths are ventilators.

01:04:54.380 That's clearly not the case.

01:04:56.960 That's obviously not the case.

01:04:59.400 Yes, maybe people died being put on ventilators, didn't need to be. 0.83

01:05:03.040 But there's no fucking way that the excess death rate was from the ventilators. 0.93

01:05:10.980 It wasn't just the ventilators. 0.95

01:05:14.940 So here's what I think.

01:05:17.260 I think that among the political right, there's a refusal to understand that Omicron was just 0.99

01:05:26.440 a cold and alpha and delta might have been bad shit. 0.99

01:05:31.460 Definitely not just a cold, in my opinion, based on observation. 0.99

01:05:38.980 But the left seems to think that the COVID started bad and stayed that way, because you

01:05:45.760 see so many of them still wearing masks, when now it's definitely just a cold.

01:05:50.520 So I think that both sides, and this is just sort of an average thing.

01:05:54.780 I know lots of individuals have figured it out.

01:05:58.140 But the left is in this fantasy world where it was always the same virus.

01:06:03.960 And the right is in the fantasy world where it was always Omicron. 0.90

01:06:08.360 And then we pretend that we're having a debate when those are both ridiculous points of view.

01:06:12.860 So I try not to even debate anybody who has the point of view that it was always Omicron or the

01:06:19.320 point of view that it's always and still alpha and delta.

01:06:23.460 None of those are based on any kind of thinking.

01:06:28.420 So, but overall, were the vaccinations more bad than good?

01:06:33.880 I don't know.

01:06:34.320 I don't know.

01:06:37.160 And I'm sure you don't know as well.

01:06:39.620 You could certainly say that if you're getting a, you know, third booster for Omicron, that's

01:06:45.060 clearly a mistake.

01:06:46.860 Would you all agree with that?

01:06:48.520 If you got a third booster because of Omicron, that's a medical mistake, in my opinion.

01:06:59.660 In the beginning, I'm not so sure I would say the same thing.

01:07:02.180 All right.

01:07:02.620 That's what I got for you today.

01:07:03.920 I'm going to say goodbye to the YouTube and Rumble and ex-people.

01:07:08.220 I'm going to chat with locals and they'll stay on here in theory.

01:07:15.400 And the rest of you will see me tomorrow.

01:07:18.420 Thanks for joining.
