of human civilization and it's called coffee with scott adams because that's kind of what it is and
00:00:05.400
if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their smooth
00:00:11.540
tiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass or tank or chalice or stein a
00:00:15.860
canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join
00:00:22.040
me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing makes everything better
00:00:26.520
it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now
00:00:39.420
well let's uh let's give a little thank for our experts shall we you know experts get a bad rap
00:00:49.460
especially lately but what would we do without them here's a case in point uh finally
00:00:56.260
after a long last covid long covid has a definition now that's what we needed because
00:01:04.920
long covid everybody was all over the place like what is it how do you identify it how do you know
00:01:10.460
you had it you know what it doesn't even exist but finally the experts have come together and they've
00:01:16.940
decided that the definition of long covid is as follows it has to happen after covid so it can't
00:01:24.620
be before covid that seems to be built into the definition right so you can't get covid before there
00:01:32.200
was covid so the experts have clarified that it could only be long covid if you've had covid now that's a
00:01:40.580
good first step but it gets better and it could be identified by any one of 200 symptoms that may come
00:01:50.500
and go during the rest of your life so finally we have a little clarity it's something that happened
00:01:58.260
after you had covid any time in your life and could include any one of 200 symptoms that may come and go
00:02:06.980
for reasons you don't understand and that's called long covid now other people have called that
00:02:13.060
well various names uh old age old age because that happens to me after covid and i think i get about 200
00:02:24.100
symptoms i get about 200 symptoms a day now uh and that's just the first five minutes after i wake up
00:02:31.380
i'm like oh my back oh you know that sort of thing so it's probably uh must have some long covid
00:02:39.540
um companies are discovering that all their big ai projects that were going to save the money and
00:02:46.180
change the nature of the world have uh hit what some call the trough of disillusionment
00:02:53.860
and that it's not really changing the world the way they thought and a lot of projects are stalled
00:02:59.780
um i could have told you that the reason i could have told you that is i tried several projects myself
00:03:05.860
i tried to use ai to do a bunch of things that would be completely relevant to what i do for a living
00:03:12.340
and i thought man i'm going to be the first one i i'm going to be the one who's the first cartoonist
00:03:20.180
to to use ai in like a real cool way is really going to impress you i can't get a thing to work
00:03:27.780
it's fun to talk to it and use it for education and stuff but to actually turn it into a tool that
00:03:37.460
you that i can use in my work nope no luck at all uh i do hear that there are some upgrades to the
00:03:44.580
delphi ai system which i've been trying to build an agent in and ran into some obstacles in terms of
00:03:52.580
what it could or could not do but the company was very responsive and they say in a week or so they're
00:03:57.940
gonna have a bunch of uh fixes and whatever so that i can get it to do what i want so i'm open-minded
00:04:05.220
about it maybe but uh i'll let you know so far ai um because it's gives unreliable answers to things
00:04:15.460
there's just a whole host of things you thought it would do that it can't ever do
00:04:19.460
because if you can't if you can't know that it will give you the right answer
00:04:25.300
what is it it's like a person you have a conversation with if you have a conversation
00:04:32.180
with somebody and they give you some wrong fact you know we got to discount that as that's the
00:04:37.860
way conversations go but if you're asking for data and it sometimes just gives you the wrong data and
00:04:43.300
you don't know why and you can't fix it that doesn't work at all so i do think ai is going
00:04:51.300
to be as big as everybody says but there's probably a gigantic percentage of it that will never work
00:04:58.900
at least during using the llm technology it might work in some future iteration but not now
00:05:05.860
well i was watching the five last night and i saw a story there's a new trend
00:05:10.740
uh sort of non-obvious uh and as the chyron read um on the five women are falling for guys who look
00:05:20.180
like cartoon mice which they they refer to as hot rodent men so men who have that vibe of looking
00:05:29.460
sort of roughly like a rat are becoming a little bit more popular
00:05:33.380
and now this was good news for me um my patience has finally paid off and it looks like it's my time
00:05:43.700
to shine so good luck to the rest of you handsome looking people because your day came and went no
00:05:52.420
it's time for the rat-faced people to rise and i might be their leader i might be but not just that
00:06:01.060
so let's look at the other science um there's a study from japan that says if you eat small fish
00:06:09.540
whole like the entire fish bones and all uh it's really really good for your health because apparently
00:06:15.620
all those bones and things are are good for you now i'm not super surprised about that because yesterday
00:06:23.300
i was watching a video of a slow motion capture by a look like a golden eagle catching a fish
00:06:31.860
and popping it in his mouth and eating a hole and i thought to myself hey that uh that that golden
00:06:40.180
eagle isn't even chewing it's actually just going and like swallowing a fish hole
00:06:45.780
and so i said to myself i wonder if the whole fish is healthy apparently it is apparently there's
00:06:53.700
not much more better you could do than eat a whole fish but here's the uh question i ask
00:07:00.580
why is it so consistent that if there's something good for you it's also horrible to do
00:07:06.580
like could they come up with anything worse like i expect tomorrow will be and science has discovered
00:07:15.780
that if you can shove 10 pine cones up your own ass you will add 10 years to your life
00:07:23.300
and i'll be like but i don't want to shove pine cones up my ass that sounds really painful
00:07:28.340
and people will say well i mean if you don't care about your health you can do it your way
00:07:33.540
no now i gotta eat a whole fish and shove pine cones up my ass everything everything's too hard
00:07:40.340
well here's a surprising surprising result of a study thanks to science we have determined
00:07:48.340
remember you used to hear from women that if only men would help with the housework
00:07:54.500
after they got home from working all day that then they'd want to have more sex with them
00:07:59.540
and so we were told that the sexiest thing you could do ben was do the dishes and vacuum while
00:08:07.220
your wife is watching and a lot of you said finally i've cracked the code all i have to do is a little
00:08:15.700
extra dusting put this apron on cook some food clean up after myself take care of the kids and i'm
00:08:22.980
gonna get some super action wow that's what i was told for probably 20 years 30 years
00:08:32.020
well in a new study says uh turns out that helping with the housework uh gets you less sex
00:08:38.900
for heterosexual married partners yeah so the man will get less sex and i guess that means that
00:08:44.180
the woman will get less sex if everything's working out the way it should um
00:08:49.060
um so if you uh want to do well with the ladies you should look more like a rat-faced boy
00:09:00.660
and less like some kind of handsome thing nobody wants that so look like a rat-faced person um
00:09:07.780
you want to not help with the uh the housework that appears to be good for your sex life
00:09:14.740
and i'd like to add my own little twist um you'll see this from experts as well
00:09:19.780
shaquille o'neal said this the other day in the video never share your feelings
00:09:25.860
no no did you ever fall for that trap how many of you have ever fallen for the trap of
00:09:34.260
so here's my advice to you look like a rat-faced boy don't communicate with your lover and whatever
00:09:46.500
you do don't help out around the house and uh you will be amazed how much poontang you're getting
00:09:54.980
so there's your relationship advice from the single guy who's non-relationship
00:10:10.420
they printed a rocket engine uh in 72 hours using a 3d printer
00:10:17.220
they printed a rocket ship and then sent the rocket up and it worked
00:10:21.300
they printed a rocket ship a rocket engine they printed it in 72 hours
00:10:30.100
that's amazing that's like one of the most impressive
00:10:35.460
technology things i've ever heard of in my life
00:10:38.820
now let's take it to the next level if you can 3d print something as sensitive and powerful as a rocket
00:10:46.340
engine how far are we from 3d printing a small modular nuclear reactor
00:11:00.180
suddenly suddenly if you could get rid of the you know burdensome regulations but not the ones you need
00:11:06.660
if you could get rid of regulations and you could co-lo you could locate the new reactors
00:11:14.820
let's say where there are already nuclear power plants and you can keep the waste there which is the new way they do it
00:11:21.380
in some cases they can reuse the waste for fuel for other types of reactors
00:11:25.860
if you could do all of that and then you could have a standardized design that's approved by the government and all the regulatory agencies
00:11:33.620
and your biggest problem was actually manufacturing
00:11:39.860
you might be able to 3d print it imagine if you could 3d print a pre-approved
00:11:53.940
now you might say to yourself i don't want to be the first one to live next to the
00:11:58.100
3d printed nuclear reactor but i would have said that about going up in a rocket
00:12:08.340
i don't know it seems like they might be able to make it safe enough for a nuke
00:12:15.300
that's a that's one of those boring little stories that might be like one of the biggest deals in the whole universe
00:12:22.260
could be meanwhile there's a turkish student who was trying to pass some difficult entrance exam
00:12:29.300
and cleverly used a hidden camera and a button that would look at the test and it would use ai
00:12:37.780
to solve the test questions and then read it into a earpiece
00:12:42.820
so the guy was listening to the answers while the the button was looking at the test
00:12:48.660
and he got caught now i feel like i would have wanted to hire that guy on the spot
00:13:00.420
because because if his system worked it's kind of impressive it's like huh if you can do that
00:13:06.500
yeah i'd like you to work for me anyway it seems like there's gonna be a lot more of that
00:13:12.180
that that type of cheating well the new york times is reportedly they got rid of like nine out of the
00:13:20.100
16 of their artists who were on staff and they did it because that some say it's because of ai but i
00:13:27.700
think the new york times says no no it's just cost cutting
00:13:30.500
um but the uh the union uh for the workers at the new york times uh said that uh firing artists and
00:13:40.820
replacing them with with ai that the the union said and i quote i thought we were better than this
00:13:49.620
better than this is the union actually a communist organization what do they mean by better i thought
00:13:58.420
better it was companies um hire people when they need people and they fire people when they don't
00:14:03.140
need people and it's called it's called it's called capitalism it's called capitalism that would be the
00:14:09.620
system that we're living under allegedly but according to the union who apparently are communists
00:14:15.780
i thought we were better than this better than what capitalism if you're better than capitalism
00:14:22.580
what's the name of that what are you calling the thing that's better than hiring and firing
00:14:28.340
depending on the business's needs what's better than that communism i can't think of anything else
00:14:35.700
they'd be talking about so apparently the employees of the new york times are
00:14:42.740
literally communists or socialists or something but they don't understand this whole capitalism thing
00:14:50.100
well here's the good news and bad news uh let's see if you could have predicted this
00:14:54.180
uh if you haven't read the story i want to see how long it takes you to predict the ending of this
00:15:00.260
this news event right so it involves california so put on your california thinking cap
00:15:07.540
it involves the drought which california had had for years which is now solved it turns out that
00:15:14.660
california is just flush with water got plenty of water at the same time
00:15:20.340
they're going to deny farmers uh they're going to cut a lot of the farmers back to only 40 percent
00:15:27.540
of the federal water they were supposed to get i guess there's federal water and other water but it'll
00:15:32.580
be a major put pull back in the water why all right it's california and there's plenty of water
00:15:43.940
plenty of water everybody agrees but the farmers will not be allowed to get
00:15:50.100
nearly as much water as they need why would that be you tell me it's california
00:15:56.580
well let me guess i'll fill you in it's because of an endangered fish there's a problem with an
00:16:03.220
endangered fish yep so is that the most california thing you've ever heard in your life
00:16:13.060
uh years ago before i built the house that i'm living in right now i thought i was going to
00:16:19.620
build it in a different place i got bought several acres down the road and when i went to look into
00:16:26.740
building on it turns out they had uh maybe some endangered fish in the little creek that was dry
00:16:34.260
most of the time or frogs or something i forget what it was but i've actually been limited from building
00:16:41.140
for a fish or a frog that nobody's ever seen and by the way there weren't any there it just looked
00:16:47.460
like a place there might be some endangered fish or something like it's actually insane trying to
00:16:54.420
get anything built in california i don't recommend it by the way i wouldn't do it at all um but anyway
00:17:01.300
so this endangered fish i don't know how endangered it is or how important it is because frankly i've never
00:17:07.620
i've never missed that fish um but apparently you could eat that fish whole and it would be really
00:17:14.580
good for you uh but don't it's an endangered fish so even though it'd be very healthy to eat it whole
00:17:20.740
don't do that it's endangered so what are the farmers going to do well i don't know but the only thing i can
00:17:26.740
think of is if the farmers can't get water for their crops they might be able to get the huge masses of
00:17:34.660
illegal migrants uh to urinate on them i mean i don't know if that would help but it's better than
00:17:42.100
nothing right that's just my idea all right the oakland reparations committee wants five million
00:17:49.780
dollars and you're gonna say well that's that's not nearly as much as i thought oakland's a pretty
00:17:56.740
big place and the reparations committee is only asking for five million dollars and i saw that and
00:18:02.740
i thought huh that might actually be something we could talk about because you know we wouldn't miss
00:18:09.380
five million dollars in our our taxes and then i read it more carefully no they don't the reparations
00:18:15.380
committee in oakland they don't want five million dollars for reparations they want five million
00:18:21.700
dollars from taxpayers to come up with a plan for the reparations five million to work on a plan
00:18:34.340
now as a person who lives in the oakland area what should i do to avoid uh being penalized for being white
00:18:45.380
by having to pay for some reparations that i had nothing to do with what should i do should i get the
00:18:57.300
can we be adults for like a minute i didn't create the system i mean i'm just in the system it's not my
00:19:04.900
fault if the system makes it more expensive to live in a state where there is a big black population
00:19:12.580
you should get out of there or at least it should be one of your factors if you live anywhere in a
00:19:19.380
place where dei is a big emphasis you should get the fuck out of there if you're white or asian
00:19:25.780
american you should get out of there because you don't have any options you can't fight it
00:19:31.780
and why would you stay where things are bad the number one thing that i teach people about career
00:19:38.420
success is if you can't do it where you are get the fuck out of there it's the very first thing i
00:19:44.820
did when i graduated college because my hometown was a tiny little town with you know no real industry
00:19:51.540
or anything like that except tourism and the first thing i did is move to the california bay area
00:19:57.620
before even knowing what i'd do for my life because you have to go where the opportunity is
00:20:02.420
so at the moment california is becoming kind of a hellhole i wouldn't recommend anybody move to it
00:20:09.380
it's just really hard to move out of it and believe me i've been doing a lot of research
00:20:15.220
they've got these clawback provisions they can tax you even if you leave
00:20:19.860
you know demonstrating that you really left if you if you visit a lot it's going to be a problem yeah
00:20:26.900
california is just a fucking piece of shit right now but it has lovely weather and if you can afford

00:21:34.660
responsibly well the uh stanford had this a weird disinformation research center which turned out to be
00:21:43.380
just a place where the government would work with these i don't want to call them fakes but they were
00:21:49.940
obviously people working on the censorship industrial complex and they just closed down
00:21:56.660
because they had so much heat but i don't trust it do you think that just because this prominent
00:22:02.820
censorship entity got closed down do you do you think do you think that they're not going to do any
00:22:09.540
censoring i assume they just got more clever about it don't we assume that outside of x the platforms are
00:22:17.940
all doing the same same kind of bad stuff maybe just more cleverly so in other words instead of kicking
00:22:24.420
somebody off a platform maybe just nobody sees their posts i haven't here i haven't heard as much
00:22:31.140
complaining about it this year have you it used to be that it was just so obvious uh the censorship
00:22:39.780
that was just continuous complaining because you couldn't miss it it was everywhere but i really
00:22:43.860
haven't heard it so far this cycle does that suggest that we're actually getting some kind of control
00:22:50.100
over that or we just don't know where it is now see what i what i fear is that it's just a whack-a-mole
00:22:56.180
situation and we whack this stanford disinformation research center i mean collectively we whacked it
00:23:03.940
but it doesn't mean it didn't just pop up somewhere else under a different name i assume that's what's
00:23:08.260
happening all right the supreme court struck down the trump era ban on bump stocks i guess they're so
00:23:19.620
if it's not a ban you can have them now that was a weird one because you wouldn't expect anybody trump
00:23:26.900
related to want to ban anything gun related but if you don't follow gun stuff the so-called bump stocks
00:23:34.260
would turn your gun into a wildly inaccurate instrument and so the gun people said who the
00:23:40.180
hell would want to use a bump stock if it just makes your gun less accurate like the one and only time
00:23:46.500
you'd use it would be that you know vegas shooting when you're shooting into a gigantic crowd and accuracy
00:23:52.500
didn't really matter because you weren't aiming at a specific person anyway but short of that i'm told that
00:23:58.980
if you you know had a handgun and went in someplace with bad intentions and just carefully shot you
00:24:06.100
would do more damage than a bump that's just going to be firing bullets into the ceiling as much as the
00:24:11.940
anything else so i don't think it matters these this bump stock thing is such a small
00:24:19.860
little thing makes no difference to anybody i don't think
00:24:23.300
all right i continue to ask the question of why voting machines exist if they're not cheaper or
00:24:31.700
more secure or making us feel more credible and they're not faster why it was a gentleman i saw on
00:24:38.580
social media here who asked his local town to explain why they use machines they said something about
00:24:46.420
them being more efficient or reliable or something clearly not true clearly not true so why do we have
00:24:54.420
them now other people have said that uh well you know if it produces paper you can always be you can
00:25:03.380
always double check because you just look at the paper but apparently there are cases where it doesn't
00:25:08.740
produce paper and they're you know we know this puerto rico had just all kinds of trouble with their
00:25:14.660
voting machines and i guess they didn't produce paper rfk jr is basically saying you can't trust the
00:25:20.580
voting machines and unless it unless it creates paper so he would do legislation that says you can
00:25:27.300
keep your voting machine but it's got to create a piece of paper so we can check to see if it was real
00:25:38.100
but let's check in with uh the rasmussen folks who like to keep us updated on various claims of
00:25:47.220
irregularity in voting from 2020. so here's what we believe we know from the america maricopa county
00:25:53.940
one of the most questioned uh voting election results in 2020 here's what we know there was only one legal
00:26:02.260
type of paper that could be used and there are credible uh allegations that there were up to 10
00:26:09.220
different types found now do you know why there's only one uh one type of paper that's approved for
00:26:16.420
an election in a in a given area does anybody know why they say you can only use one piece of paper
00:26:23.780
my first thought was oh it's because they know that this kind of paper is accepted by the machines
00:26:31.700
that was my first thought you you want to make sure it can be processed through the machines when they count
00:26:36.820
you don't want any cheap paper that gets caught in machines but it turns out that's not really the reason
00:26:43.140
that's maybe one of the reasons they make sure that the paper works
00:26:47.540
but the other reason is to make sure that there's no fraud
00:26:55.220
if somebody used the wrong paper it's a fraud detection
00:26:58.980
now for some reason that didn't immediately occur to me i just assumed it was a functional question
00:27:05.300
and that if they used other paper but the machines accepted it i was thinking well that's not a big
00:27:10.980
problem is it what's the problem so they ran out of paper some people didn't get the memo they just
00:27:17.700
use whatever paper was available that worked fine no problem but then once you realize that
00:27:23.620
the limitation of the paper is a major way that they prevent fraud and then you see that there
00:27:31.140
were credible reports of 10 different papers used that would pretty much be guaranteed fraud if you
00:27:38.580
could prove this is true it's hard to imagine it would be anything but exactly what it looks like
00:27:44.260
now is it proven i don't know because it's hard to believe anything in the election domain
00:27:50.420
because so many things are found not to be true so but that claim still stands meaning that no court
00:27:57.140
has said it's not true there's no court that said no that didn't happen so the claim is out there
00:28:04.260
whatever status it is it's out there here's another one uh within maricopa county there was one legal
00:28:12.100
software version only one that was legal but two versions uh and a compiler were found the compiler
00:28:21.700
was capable of creating executable files and then deleting them without detection
00:28:27.940
but there is some some evidence that it did is did so three times during the election
00:28:32.740
why is your compiler creating and executing files and then deleting them what would be the legal reason
00:28:43.220
to do that i don't maybe there is some legal reason you know anything anything nothing would surprise me at
00:28:48.980
this point but uh certainly everything about that looks fraudulent but remember don't get fooled by
00:28:58.420
krakens there there are tons of times since 2020 that uh both you and i probably heard a report and you said
00:29:07.700
to yourself oh this time that's the smoking gun then maybe it turned out not to be so you should always
00:29:14.660
keep a real real real open mind about any specific claims but i take the argument from specific claims to
00:29:24.580
the general the general the general is what are the odds that this is the only non-corrupt system in
00:29:29.540
the united states i'd say zero just common sense and then and if you say we'll prove it then i'll say
00:29:38.980
well how about i don't have to prove it how about i just show you that every single other system
00:29:44.500
can be hacked and has been and if every if anything that can be uh gamed is being gamed everywhere all the
00:29:53.380
time that's the way the world works so the fact that you didn't catch it probably doesn't mean anything
00:30:00.340
because people presumably would figure out how not to get caught so i don't have any proof that
00:30:05.860
there's any kind of election irregularity all i have is the common sense that of course it is
00:30:11.620
of course it is why would it be true if it doesn't need to be and somebody could benefit from faking it
00:30:18.820
it seems unlikely that it's a fair system um you know that president trump floated the idea of having
00:30:27.460
a uh having more tariffs on incoming products from other countries and getting rid of the income tax
00:30:35.460
and i saw a long post by balaji srinivasan in which he's uh explaining there's actually
00:30:42.180
uh there's an historical uh precedent because apparently before the income tax that was
00:30:48.180
actually a big way that the united states funded itself and it's actually possible that we could do
00:30:55.380
it uh but as balaji points out it probably would take 10 years of economic pain like we haven't experienced
00:31:03.140
since maybe the great depression so i mean he didn't say the great depression part i just added that
00:31:08.260
myself it's just that it would be very disruptive to make that kind of a change but it's not impossible
00:31:16.900
and it has some benefits and the benefits are that it would make the country run like a
00:31:22.500
it would make the country run like a company that's trying to make money so it would try to sell our goods
00:31:29.780
to other people and make more money than uh than the other people were making by selling to us basically
00:31:36.980
so we would charge them for incoming stuff so their stuff was more expensive which would make it more
00:31:42.660
profitable to build it internally and then manufacturing could move back to america because
00:31:48.260
the tariffs would make it expensive to buy things from other places now if you add robots plus the 3d
00:31:55.860
printing and some tariffs you could pretty easily imagine the manufacturing coming back to america
00:32:03.300
first slowly and then quickly right once we get all the transportation and the electrical and everything
00:32:11.220
worked out it might happen quickly after it goes slowly for a while
00:32:18.660
anyway the biggest problem is that our current process as balaji points out is that we just print
00:32:23.620
money when we want to and it wouldn't work if you had a tariff if you had a tariff you'd have
00:32:29.860
you'd only have that money but if you can just print money it's suddenly oh here's another trillion
00:32:36.500
dollars so how do you how do you tell yourself to stop printing money just because the system is
00:32:42.100
collapsing if you keep doing it hasn't stopped us yet so yeah it's probably impossible from a bureaucratic
00:32:49.700
point of view here's a question i have how big are the election whistleblower rewards uh this year
00:32:59.540
and don't tell me there aren't any because that would be crazy are we are you telling me that
00:33:06.900
it's not obvious that if you were to find some trouble in 2024 and if you reported it and let's
00:33:13.860
say if it's big enough that it would make a difference there's no reward here's why you need a whistleblower
00:33:20.580
reward in advance right so laura trump um you should be listening to this there should be it should be
00:33:29.540
known in advance that there will be a huge amount of money to any democrat or anybody else who comes up with
00:33:37.060
the goods like an actual prosecutable large form of fraud here's why you want to create a situation
00:33:47.300
where people who have to get other people involved with their fraud which probably would be the case
00:33:52.500
if anybody was doing anything yeah it would take some insiders you know you'd need somebody to drive
00:33:57.860
a truck maybe somebody to unlock a door somebody to turn the other way so probably any form of election
00:34:05.220
cheating hypothetically again i'm not aware of any proven forms in 2020 but hypothetically if someone
00:34:14.900
was planning an op of that size other people would be involved and if you had a big enough reward
00:34:21.700
you can guarantee that the people who were involved in it would have to kill all the other people involved
00:34:27.620
to avoid the whistleblower imagine putting a plot together all right the five of us
00:34:35.140
are going to do this plot and we're going to cheat in the election and uh but when it's done
00:34:42.420
any one of the five of us can go collect a million dollars just by turning in the other four
00:34:49.540
so what are you going to do are you going to be part of that plot or are you going to say yes and make
00:34:54.980
sure you're the first one to turn it in because if you're not the first one to go whistleblower
00:34:59.860
the first person gets a million dollars and you get jail time
00:35:04.260
so what would you do well the first thing is it would create a situation where the leader of the plot
00:35:10.500
would have to murder all the underlings after the plot was executed because you couldn't have somebody
00:35:16.100
out there who could make a million dollars and before they were just driving a truck
00:35:22.580
or they were the janitor that unlocked the door right you can't have somebody out there with like
00:35:28.180
a million dollars to gain if they buck the system so there should be a very large award reward in advance
00:35:38.740
that everybody knows about that says if you find some things it has to go through the court of course
00:35:44.260
it has to be court uh court uh affirmed but if you don't have that it looks like hey you can give me
00:35:52.580
a hundred dollars to open this door i'll take it will you talk to anybody about it nah i'll just keep the
00:35:59.700
hundred dollars so you got to make it too expensive to cheat you see where i'm going in this make it too
00:36:06.980
expensive to cheat because somebody's going to drop a dime they too much to gain well on the
00:36:13.540
plus side remember i told you that laura trump seemed like the right person for the co-chair of the
00:36:20.420
rnc because you needed somebody who had a predator mindset and i'm going to say this in a positive way
00:36:27.380
if in case it sounded insulting it's not meant to be laura trump has predator written all over
00:36:36.020
do you would you agree with that let's put it this way um
00:36:41.700
if you look at somebody like uh you know adam schiff he might be an evil little troll but he doesn't
00:36:48.340
look like a predator yeah he looks like prey in the wild he'd be the first one that the lion ate
00:36:57.380
but but laura trump would be the lion right so she's got i think she has all the
00:37:05.940
qualifications that you need for somebody who's gonna just really make it happen and apparently
00:37:11.220
she's put together a pretty major effort for poll watchers and watchdogs during the poll
00:37:17.620
now that's the thing you were waiting for wasn't it weren't you waiting to find out that the republicans
00:37:22.660
were actually gonna fucking do something for once it turns out she is and it's pretty big
00:37:29.620
and it probably will make a big difference because you don't have to have them everywhere
00:37:33.940
you just have to have them in the key places so uh this is part of the theme of everything seems
00:37:40.820
to be going trump's way at the moment we'll get into more trump stuff but now that we know
00:37:47.700
what could have happened it looks like the uh censorship machine is at least being wounded
00:37:52.340
if not dismantled it looks like the people who are going to watch the elections are going to watch
00:37:57.460
it a lot more carefully and by the way we still don't have an answer of why we use electronic counting
00:38:04.100
machines nobody is even offered an explanation how far do you think we can go into the election cycle
00:38:14.100
without anybody anybody anywhere offering a counter arguments like oh yeah the machines are good because
00:38:24.500
it's going to get more and more embarrassing the longer we go with nobody even trying to answer the
00:38:28.660
question and and suppose somebody does answer the question even that's bad because why didn't the
00:38:34.900
public know about any of that what why is it we don't know why you're doing it we should know
00:38:40.820
that should be kind of transparent we're doing it because maybe it's a good reason maybe
00:38:52.420
you know you've ever heard that saying those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it
00:38:58.100
sounded pretty smart when the first time you heard it if i ignore history i'll fall into those same
00:39:05.780
traps of the people in history so i better understand my history so i
00:39:10.180
i know what works and what doesn't work well that would make sense if history were real but we know
00:39:16.980
the history is completely made up because we know that the current news is completely made up
00:39:23.700
what will the news say about the uh the january 6 protest they're already calling it an insurrection
00:39:31.460
no insurrection happened but that will be the news and someday will people will look at the history books
00:39:39.300
and say hmm that was a terrible insurrection back there in january 6 and it won't be real but it'll be
00:39:47.380
history so i'm updating that to those who ignore history are less misinformed the more you know about
00:39:56.100
history the dumber you get so when i hear the historians especially the presidential historians
00:40:02.580
weighing in as experts i think to myself your entire industry is built around
00:40:07.460
bullshit you're actually analyzing the entrails of people who lied to you you're not even looking at the
00:40:15.300
history you're looking at the entrails of the liars and telling me what you think will happen in the
00:40:20.420
future the dumbest thing ever so the i wondered how many other old sayings are complete bullshit
00:40:27.620
so the whole thing about learning from history is ridiculous be yourself worst worst uh advice ever
00:40:37.060
don't be yourself that's terrible idea figure out what would be a better version of yourself and try to
00:40:44.980
work toward that you're not done you're not so good that being yourself is a good idea yeah what if you'd
00:40:52.900
done that when you were 12 would you still be acting like a 12 year old if you just thought that's how
00:40:58.500
you were naturally no don't act like yourself act like something useful act like something better than
00:41:04.740
you maybe you'll become that person how about follow your passion we don't have to talk about that but
00:41:09.780
we used to hear about that now that's obviously bullshit how about this big question about the
00:41:16.100
saudis not gonna i don't know trade in u.s dollars and then the petrodollar domination will go away and
00:41:24.180
the country will collapse and i thought to myself i don't think anybody even knows what's going to happen
00:41:31.620
and as of today that's my current view looking at some expert opinions well it's probably not a big deal
00:41:37.620
so how many of you thought it was the end of the world and today you read the news and the experts
00:41:44.260
like you know actually probably not that big a deal how long have we been worrying about this being
00:41:50.980
the collapse of the united states and then when it happens people go you know that's not the most important
00:41:57.860
thing so my current view is that there will just be adjustments and everything will work out
00:42:07.620
well you'd be surprised to find out that the department of justice who reports to garland
00:42:13.220
doesn't want to prosecute their boss for contempt huh bannon got prosecuted for contempt of congress
00:42:20.500
peter navarro still in jail for contempt of congress but when garland is in contempt of congress
00:42:27.060
i don't know they're not going to prosecute it now the republicans did a good job of forcing the
00:42:33.620
hypocrites to out themselves so now we don't have to wonder we don't have to wonder uh if there's two
00:42:43.140
forms of justice one for republicans and one for democrats there it is so your questions have been
00:42:49.140
answered there is a separate form of punishment for them for republicans well you heard a story that
00:42:57.140
the thousand representatives passed some measure that would automatically register young men for the
00:43:04.020
draft now the clarification is this it was already the law that young men had to register for the draft
00:43:14.340
so this change is just doing it automatically is that bad news or good news well i'm pretty sure if a draft
00:43:23.940
became necessary whether or not you registered would be less important than whether that not they had
00:43:30.180
a way to find you and they could always find you so some number of people will not register for the draft
00:43:39.380
because they didn't know they were supposed to just won't do it they just didn't know it was important
00:43:45.380
should they be in jail apparently it's jailable did you know that it's a felony to not register for the
00:43:52.420
draft how many of you didn't know that so it could be a quarter of a million dollar fines could be felony
00:43:59.780
but it's it's even more than that eventually when you age out of it and the statute of limitations wears off
00:44:08.020
at that point you can't be jailed and you can't be fined but apparently you are forever banned from
00:44:15.780
working for the government or getting government financial help in a lot of things and a lot of
00:44:20.980
states have their own laws to punish you for not signing up so if you make it automatic
00:44:29.700
it's actually safer for the young men because then nobody's going to say hey you didn't sign up
00:44:36.660
so now you have to go to jail they'll say oh everybody signed up it's automatic isn't that
00:44:42.660
better so what you might have thought is oh my god they're instituting the draft
00:44:49.140
is really just they took away a potential penalty for young men who for no fault of their own maybe
00:44:54.900
didn't register so it probably is just a net plus and nothing else that's my guess however is the timing
00:45:05.300
is suspicious recruitment is way down we know that recruitment's in the toilet and it's hard to get
00:45:12.980
qualified people to volunteer and the ukrainian war is heating up and people are talking about boots on
00:45:21.540
the ground of at least europeans it's not much of a leap to think that maybe the united states is just
00:45:28.100
sort of getting ready yeah just in case which isn't a bad idea for a country because it sends a signal to
00:45:35.860
the other countries that we're serious but here's the kicker
00:45:42.980
why is it that only men would be drafted we have a democrat in power should they not be honest with their
00:45:53.220
people so i think the democrats have to do one of two things either say we were lying all the time
00:46:01.140
about uh you know the genders being basically equal to do everything so really we were when it really
00:46:07.540
matters we were just kidding you're not equal the men will do the fighting you ladies stay home they can't
00:46:13.620
say that by the way that's not my opinion i'm just saying that what are they going to do so they built a
00:46:20.020
uh they built a party that is pro-woman woman can do everything they need to be registered for the draft
00:46:27.940
fully so i don't think men should be registered for the draft unless women are so long as we're living
00:46:35.700
in a women in a world in which everybody's the same so i think women should worry about combat
00:46:43.620
uh and worry about getting drafted so i think the odds of women being drafted into the military under a
00:46:51.700
biden regime are non-zero i've given odds of uh maybe a size 20 percent that if biden wins re-election
00:47:03.060
that the women will actually be drafted and that we'll be prepping for a european war now i would bet
00:47:10.660
against it yeah i would bet with the 80 percent likelihood it wouldn't happen but if i were a
00:47:16.580
female voter and i knew there was really no chance that would happen under trump but a 20 chance i would
00:47:22.660
get drafted into the army and sent to ukraine and i think that women need to be a little bit more
00:47:28.900
informed that they're very close to being handed a gun and sent to ukraine they're very close i don't
00:47:37.540
think they know that so it would be nice if they were at least uh warned that the possibility is
00:47:43.860
there uh msnbc the propaganda network is so funny like you know i always say i'm watching it for for
00:47:55.140
fun and i always think oh you think that's hyperbole no i actually watch it for the laughs because they're
00:48:01.780
so batshit crazy but really it's just propaganda so they're they're just acting but here's what
00:48:08.420
they're trying to sell us uh they're trying to sell us that they visit their uh business leaders who
00:48:17.540
of course don't give their names anonymous sources msnbc's got some anonymous sources those are always
00:48:24.980
reliable aren't they uh and they said that they questioned trump's mental fitness because he
00:48:31.300
couldn't keep a thought straight and he would go in one direction and then go in another direction
00:48:37.300
behind closed doors so here's what msnbc is trying to sell their public and i'm not making this up
00:48:45.940
this is actually what they're trying to sell to their audience that biden is uh looks dead in public
00:48:55.700
but if you were to catch him privately perfect trump is in public all the time
00:49:03.220
doing these high level hard things like rallies and you're talking for an hour extemporaneously
00:49:10.900
uh and while he does look great in public behind closed doors he's actually retarded
00:49:16.340
so if you're an embassy msnbc if you're an msnbc audience they're literally trying to teach you
00:49:26.340
that biden is a retard in public but behind closed doors just fine and that trump every day you see
00:49:33.860
him he looks just fine but behind closed doors let me tell you he all falls apart behind those closed doors
00:49:40.420
according to anonymous people who don't like him
00:49:45.780
and they're even saying that it's full projection and that the uh the right
00:49:50.260
right leading media is becoming like north korea
00:49:55.060
how can you watch morning joe and not thinking that's the the north korea
00:49:58.580
north korea the projection is in is in full full form
00:50:10.100
one of the wealthy investor vc types who was at the david sachs event
00:50:16.340
and uh where trump was there raising money in san francisco and he was talking recently on his podcast
00:50:22.260
about the experience of meeting trump personally and what he came away with is he's definitely sharp
00:50:29.700
in public in private uh he's pro ai doesn't want to over regulate it he's pro crypto understands it
00:50:38.100
doesn't want to regulate it too heavily uh he's pro low you know regulations and low taxes basically
00:50:44.900
all the things the business people want to hear he understands them all that the tariff versus income tax
00:50:51.460
is a pretty complicated thing which he apparently understands and is promoting at least floating as
00:50:56.980
a possibility and uh the other thing that uh chum chama said is that uh he's super funny and
00:51:04.660
personable and charismatic and he just and you know he said that his experience of him in person
00:51:12.100
was so different from his sort of bombastic public persona that nobody would even imagine it
00:51:18.100
that was exactly my experience in person he's humble and polite and funny and charismatic like you could
00:51:27.140
not like him more in person like he really has the whole package of you know how to work a crowd how
00:51:33.700
to work an individual so chamath came under the spell and he even said that that trump was making him laugh
00:51:41.540
so apparently he was looking at chamath and his wife who was very attractive
00:51:46.900
and uh he said wow you're you know a beautiful couple my goodness you're a beautiful couple
00:51:51.460
and then then he turns to chamath within hearing range of his beautiful wife he goes man you must be
00:51:58.740
really rich now that's funny it's funny that he said it in front of the guy's wife
00:52:06.020
and even java thought it was hilarious and his wife thought it was hilarious and they'll probably
00:52:12.580
talk about it for the rest of their life now that's trump right that that is exactly who he
00:52:18.740
is in private he's hilarious and he is very fun to talk to all right uh other stories everything's
00:52:26.900
going trump's way a bunch of ceo according to the wall street journal the top ceos are flocking to
00:52:32.980
trump well i don't know if they're flocking but appear apparently trump has won over the major bank
00:52:38.980
ceos you know the jamie diamond type doesn't mean they're necessarily voting for him but they do seem
00:52:46.340
to think there's a trump advantage to banking and business so if you get the bankers you have the money
00:52:52.740
people but he also has the most important venture capitalists in silicon valley and by the way
00:53:00.420
pretty much all of them are all the ones who talk in public i haven't heard any venture capitalists
00:53:07.780
lately being pro-biden except one who looked bad shit crazy so that the reasonable ones that you know
00:53:15.140
to be smart are pretty much all trump at this point uh bill ackman same thing and for all the right
00:53:23.380
reasons you know ai crypto regulation taxes it's exactly what you think so they're all coming home
00:53:30.420
meanwhile even according to rasmussen even arizona looks like it's going to go to trump when he
00:53:36.100
narrowly lost it last time if you add in the uh other candidates like rfk jr and jill stein whatever uh
00:53:43.940
trump has 41 to biden's 37 and uh he's doing even better than kerry lake is uh in her senate race that's
00:53:54.260
closer uh where she's just a little bit behind um her challenger ruben gallego so it's uh what is it
00:54:01.940
44 compared to 41 so that that's a closable gap we'll see if she does uh because they're 10 undecided
00:54:11.700
do you think the undecideds are really undecided if they vote i feel like i feel like undecided is
00:54:20.740
where you hide a pro-trump vote because if you're pro-biden it's just safer to say it isn't it
00:54:28.580
or it used to be it's less safe now but i think the 10 are likely to lean pro kerry lake so she might
00:54:36.500
have a little uh a little good luck if if this these numbers hold up we'll see all right so here's
00:54:43.220
the trump update let's compare the trump update to the biden update all right trump is ahead in all
00:54:50.660
the polls again so that's great he's got the support of the most important people in business in the
00:54:58.100
united states from elon musk through the bankers through the venture capitalists they aren't just
00:55:05.220
the business people in those entities those are the best business people the smartest ones in all
00:55:11.540
of those industries it's kind of obvious now he has um to the chagrin of democrats he has um
00:55:21.860
basically pulled the republican party together i guess even mit romney was in was in the group of
00:55:28.580
people who met with trump when he visited capitol hill so even people who were very very anti-trump
00:55:36.900
before have softened up and uh and coming around people who said bad things about him right after
00:55:43.300
january 6 have decided well maybe i took that too far you know and you've seen that jd vance vivek
00:55:50.500
there there are people who went hard at him and then later in the fullness of time and information
00:55:58.020
when you know that wasn't exactly what it looked like was it um so the other thing is that trump is
00:56:05.460
getting the support of men the ufc i saw tim pool mention that trump is getting the male vote the
00:56:12.900
republicans i saw greg gotfeld mentioned it um i've seen it in other publications it's now super super
00:56:20.820
obvious that the democrats are the party of women the um republicans are the party of men
00:56:27.460
not that there aren't you know men and the other and women the other blah blah blah it's just a trend
00:56:32.260
not a universal and trump still is ahead on all major policy issues i think if you took the top three
00:56:42.500
they're all trump you know immigration economy ukraine it's all trump so that's trump so trump basically
00:56:52.260
won everything and the only bad thing was somebody made up a new hoax that he insulted wisconsin
00:57:02.900
an anonymous an anonymous person said they were in the meeting and he insulted wisconsin
00:57:09.060
and then he was asked about it he just brushed it aside because now there's high crime there yeah that's
00:57:14.020
what i was saying now so that's it so he was basically one little hoax that nobody cared about
00:57:21.860
and all else went his way gigantically huge amount of money raising a huge change in opinion about what
00:57:30.500
people thought of all the lawfare everything's going his way everything let's see how biden's doing
00:57:36.820
biden is seeking young influencers for his campaign which apparently is hurt by the fact that when
00:57:45.780
you're trying to get tiktok influencers to back your campaign it doesn't work as well when you've just
00:57:51.940
signed a bill to ban tiktok that's right so where where trump is brilliantly working the podcasts and
00:58:01.700
raising gigantic amounts of money even from jail biden decided to use tiktok influencers and then ban tiktok
00:58:11.460
in other news he's continuing his world uh u.s embarrassment tour by wandering around like an
00:58:18.020
animated statue in front of the other world leaders just in case you'd forgotten the contrast
00:58:24.580
so it's not bad enough that we show him wandering around like a dementia patient in the united states
00:58:29.540
no we have to put him on the stage where all the other world leaders appear to be functional even
00:58:35.700
if you don't like their policies they appear to be able to walk and talk and you see him up there and
00:58:41.140
you say hey why is it we have the only leader in the g7 who can't walk and talk so that's not ideal for the
00:58:49.380
biden team and uh the biggest question about trump is whether the bad guys using lawfare will jail him before
00:58:58.580
the election but all smart people think he would he would win even from jail whereas biden's biggest
00:59:05.060
question is will he survive until election day or will he crumple into a pile of dust and the wind will
00:59:11.700
blow it away before november 5th so overall i would say that trump's looking a little bit better winning
00:59:19.140
all the polls getting all the business support winning men by a huge margin he is favored on all the
00:59:24.820
policies but biden is looking for tiktok influencers while banning tiktok fucking idiot embarrassing the
00:59:31.140
world the u.s around the world uh on camera so we can all watch it and the biggest question is whether
00:59:36.660
he's even healthy enough to survive until election day so what if he wins
00:59:43.300
i saw greg uh gaffel asked this question what if he wins there's going to be some trouble i don't
00:59:54.820
recommend trouble yeah don't do anything but how is the public going to accept that it's just going to
01:00:02.100
look like it's rigged so there you go um so it's all good for me because i'm a i'm one of those hot rodent
01:00:16.500
men okay and the last thing is that uh the secretary of state uh blinken um he said that the kremlin is
01:00:29.060
intensifying is hybrid attacks against nato members now do you know what the hybrid attacks are that
01:00:36.020
would be like hacking and um you know murdering people in suspicious ways that's right so
01:00:47.220
do you believe the do you believe when tony blinken says russia is doing hacking and hurting
01:00:53.700
hurting the countries that are near uh russia over there how do they know it's russian hackers
01:01:01.940
if i've taught you anything it's this if somebody claims that russian hackers broke into anything
01:01:09.540
that's probably bullshit i'm not saying that russian hackers never have broken into anything
01:01:15.940
i'm just saying they'll never be able to prove it and it's always very convenient when it happens isn't
01:01:21.140
it oh we're mad at russia because of ukraine and uh there's all these suspicious hacks well that must
01:01:28.420
be russia now it might be but i would put zero credibility on any claim of russia hacking how
01:01:37.940
about russia hacking hillary's emails nope i do not believe that that really happened in the real world
01:01:44.740
that looks like bullshit to me maybe i wouldn't say it's impossible but i think every claim of russia
01:01:53.060
hacking is in the really low credibility range no matter where it comes from even if the government says
01:01:59.220
oh we've got tons of evidence can't show it to you but we got all the evidence no don't believe it
01:02:05.540
because russia is just the scapegoat of scapegoats
01:02:08.900
so if somebody says hey we found a bunch of dead bodies we think it's russia maybe probably not
01:02:25.460
the the anti-semitic people on youtube are are just so uh animated
01:02:34.260
every day i have to deal with people telling me i don't understand history and if i did i would see
01:02:43.380
the mass jewish conspiracy and i always ask i'm willing to listen to any argument
01:02:52.260
so what do you got and it's always nothing so if when i say okay well if you're making a claim what
01:02:59.780
would be the evidence for that well scott if you knew history i go well okay why don't you point me
01:03:06.020
to something well if you're not going to be educated no just show me something and it just
01:03:11.780
disappears as soon as you ask for any anything reliable or anything so um we're still talking about vp
01:03:21.940
possibilities yeah um tv heads care about defending them and then we're losing
01:03:33.940
biden wandering around was not shown on mainstream tv
01:03:38.980
yeah the people still watching mainstream tv are just lost i'd love to see trump say that
01:03:46.260
i'd love trump to say you know you should lose all uh all credibility in the mainstream press
01:03:55.380
and you should you should look at at least the podcasters
01:03:59.540
who are sort of the alternate news at this point
01:04:08.100
yeah so is it the wef that's controlling the world or is it the freemasons or is the
01:04:14.580
the gigantic jewish conspiracy that you're all sure is happening but nobody has any information
01:04:20.180
that they can share with me that would be not as stupid you know a lot of conspiracies well i don't
01:04:27.700
know some of them might be true but that ladies and gentlemen concludes my saturday amazing coffee with
01:04:34.580
scott adams i'm gonna say goodbye to youtube and rumble and x and talk to my beloved subscribers on
01:04:43.220
locals um if you're not subscribing to the dilbert comic that's either on x by subscription or on locals
01:04:53.780
you would miss that dilber is using the declining birth rate argument to try to get his date to sleep
01:05:01.140
of them because they're going to need to increase the population of the earth or we're all dead
01:05:08.260
it doesn't work out well for dilbert as you might guess and if you have not yet bought my book god's
