let's go to just me see what that looks like oh much better as you can tell there will be a white
00:00:06.180
war today wow do do do do well welcome to coffee with scott adams the highlight of human civilization
00:00:16.520
your day will never be better than this moment but if you'd like to take it up to levels that
00:00:21.740
nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a cup of margarita glass
00:00:27.220
a tanker chalice is dying a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite
00:00:32.340
liquid i like coffee and join me now the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day
00:00:38.240
the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now
00:00:42.820
ah i feel we're all now synced we're on the same page which means today is going to be lit
00:00:54.820
but first let me start with a few things if you're watching the reading the dilbert reborn comic which
00:01:04.700
you can only see if you subscribe to the twitter not twitter to x or on locals at scottadams.locals.com
00:01:12.940
where you get other stuff too you would see that dilbert is meeting a new guy who misinterprets
00:01:19.800
everything a new guy who misinterprets everything he says you might like it anyway
00:01:27.420
uh there is a word that the biggest movie of the summer could be deadpool and will wolverine
00:01:35.580
they think it'll be you know big blockbuster because it's you know crossover deadpool character plus
00:01:41.220
wolverine and i say to you what's going to happen if the biggest movie of the year is starring two white
00:01:48.100
guys two white guys two white guys and i saw on social media somebody said well it's not exactly
00:01:54.780
two white guys one of them's dead and the other one's a wolverine and i thought oh there there might
00:02:04.200
be there might be a loophole you can be a white actor in the movie as long as you're dead or you're
00:02:12.320
technically a wolverine so i guess we don't have one still that's just like regular living white guys
00:02:20.480
that are not part wolverine but it felt like progress all right there's a yahoo finance said
00:02:29.580
some information about what it costs in each state in the country to go on a date so this is the average
00:02:38.180
cost of a date and they say in california that's one of the more expensive states that a date costs
00:02:44.500
226 dollars to go on a date in california or 1226 if you want sex but if you want a good deal on a date
00:02:56.560
south dakota will give you one for 38 dollars apparently you can go for a date in south dakota for 38
00:03:04.860
i think that's where i'm going to do all of my dating if i do any dating i'm just i'm just going
00:03:13.960
to go right to south dakota because they got some kind of discount situation going on i haven't seen
00:03:19.420
the women from south dakota but uh i'm guessing 38 gets you one
00:03:27.420
well anyway steve bannon is going to be uh live streaming from outside the jail he's going to go
00:03:37.620
to tomorrow but tonight from um eight to nine eastern time he's going to have a special one
00:03:44.640
hour i'm going to jail special now here's the thing that i don't think democrats understand
00:03:51.060
about steve bannon here's what you don't want to do to steve bannon
00:03:56.660
crucify him put him in a cave and then roll a big rock in front of the doorway of the cave and say
00:04:12.220
all right uh i love the fact that steve bannon is going to um take their jail and he's going to turn
00:04:20.980
it into an opportunity to power up they are handing him power and he said thank you i'll take it it won't
00:04:29.640
be easy there's not you know let's not make light of it jail is jail steve bannon is not going to be
00:04:37.480
having a good time it's not going to be safe not even a little bit but uh he's going to do it
00:04:44.980
so he's going to die for our sins i guess but he'll be back uh stronger and he'll definitely be
00:04:54.020
stronger you know he will when he comes out well i saw a picture of the white house doctor who's been
00:05:01.720
telling us that biden is fit as a fiddle and ready for business and you wondered what would
00:05:07.420
he look like you know what would that doctor look like now i'm not going to show you a picture
00:05:12.400
of him because you can look at it yourself on social media but i'm just going to tell you this
00:05:18.180
one thing about the doctor that says that biden was just fine his haircut is the same haircut
00:05:26.520
as jim carrey from dumb and dumber he's the white house doctor now i'm not all about fashion
00:05:35.920
i mean look at me i'm certainly not the one to give you any fashion tips but i do know a red flag
00:05:43.040
when i see it and if you're a white house doctor has a dumb and dumber haircut and he thinks that
00:05:50.420
biden looks fine to him i would ask some questions i would just ask some questions this would be way
00:05:57.100
funnier if i showed you the picture but trust me he's got a legit dumb and dumber haircut and he's
00:06:03.200
a white house doctor those two things shouldn't happen at the same time pick one you could be
00:06:08.840
the white house doctor or you could have a dumb and dumber haircut don't do both don't do both
00:06:15.800
well one of the funnier stories of the day i'm not sure how much i buy into this but it's so much fun
00:06:23.980
i'll tell you so western lensman in the count on x um says until the hoax went down in flames on
00:06:31.940
thursday night legacy media have been promulgating the big lie about joe biden's cognitive decline
00:06:38.540
for years now here's the fun part to what lengths were they prepared to go now i'm going going to go
00:06:46.080
a little bit into conspiracy theory or is it here's what i can't tell this might actually be
00:06:53.580
completely true or it could be a little you know a little bit of a reach you decide does this sound
00:07:00.420
true to you uh that uh in the run-up to the 2020 election pbs did uh they produced a show
00:07:07.720
that uh western lensman characterizes as an entire propaganda film uh disguised as a documentary
00:07:14.880
to convince you that biden once had a stutter and that he was engaged in a heroic journey to prove
00:07:21.820
his doubters wrong now i said to myself when i read that well well i thought everybody knew that
00:07:29.020
i thought that was just standard knowledge that he had a stutter when he was young
00:07:33.460
and uh but here's the thing pbs did an entire documentary about his stutter when he was young
00:07:41.580
but did not provide any video or audio of any time in his life in which he stuttered
00:07:50.440
there's no prior example of him stuttering now you could say well maybe they didn't want that on
00:07:58.300
video or audio so there's a reason that we don't have it but wouldn't he still have it you know when
00:08:04.700
he was 29 yeah wouldn't wouldn't it pop up once in a while when he was already in public service
00:08:10.960
there's not one video of him stuttering there's other stuff going on but not the stutter and so
00:08:18.320
the question is the question is did they make up the stutter story to cover for his cognitive decline
00:08:26.740
do you think that happened do you think pbs literally did an entire propaganda piece for the
00:08:36.560
only for the purpose of making you think his cognitive decline was something else i'm not quite
00:08:44.020
ready to buy that i'm not quite ready but it raises an interesting question why don't we see any evidence
00:08:52.220
that he ever had to stutter so i'm not ready to rule it out yet so i'm not ready to buy into this
00:08:58.660
but if you put it with everything else we found out you know that the things that we know for sure
00:09:04.400
are that he was certified as good to go and he's been in dementia for years so you wouldn't have thought
00:09:12.340
that was possible so when i tell you well maybe pbs created a whole brainwashing you know documentary
00:09:20.040
your first impression is well no no nobody is that extensive in their hoaxery but they really are
00:09:30.120
they are that extensive have you heard of the fine people hoax the uh the russia collusion hoax laptop
00:09:37.060
hoax they're complicated they're they're really big and organized and have multiple players yes yes it's
00:09:46.220
entirely within the realm of possibility that the pbs thing was done for no reason other than to
00:09:51.900
convince you he doesn't have a cognitive decline i don't think so i would bet against it but it's
00:10:02.000
well journalism uh let me give a warning i'm going to say a topic which will trigger a lot of npcs here
00:10:11.920
now if you're an npc let me tell you what you should say from your limited uh palette of things
00:10:18.300
you say i'm going to say something and then you're going to say while misunderstanding what i'm saying
00:10:25.420
you're going to say but that happened a long time ago scott you might even give a date
00:10:30.860
but that will be misunderstanding what i said it won't stop you so i'd like to encourage the npcs to say
00:10:38.920
scott that happened a long time ago why are you saying it just happened all right so now that
00:10:44.560
you're primed the npcs know what to do players know what to do good here's the story journalism died this
00:10:52.900
week journalism as a as a profession it died this week go ahead npcs tell me it died in 2000
00:11:04.780
or died before you can't resist i know you can't you're you're you're like holding your hands like
00:11:11.880
must must type that it wasn't this week must must type in comments that it happened long before this
00:11:21.700
week why do you think it was this week no listen to me listen to me i didn't say that journalism
00:11:28.300
became turds this week now listen to what i said i didn't say that they stopped that they suddenly
00:11:36.080
started being bad that's not what i'm saying i'm saying that the industry was destroyed
00:11:42.860
the reputation they were bad forever but got away with it until this week this is the first time that
00:11:52.960
the silos between the the two world views i just fell apart it's the only time and do you know why
00:12:00.120
it's the first time that those weird silos of misinformation fell apart because it's the first
00:12:06.720
time that most of the countries saw trump in a natural environment with biden it's the first time
00:12:14.080
they had access to something that looked true and when people saw it they said wait a minute
00:12:19.200
my news people have been telling me for years that he's fine and there isn't the slightest chance
00:12:26.280
they didn't all know the problem now we know that every one of them knew the problem
00:12:32.860
and they told you they didn't see it a lot of them didn't you know half of the half of them said they
00:12:39.220
didn't so that's different imagine that you went into journalism you know whenever jake tapper did
00:12:47.220
you said to yourself if i can make it in this business i will be one of the most respected
00:12:52.240
people in today's society i'll be like a walter cronkite
00:12:56.480
well now we all had our suspicions about the media but not this deep well some of us did i guess half
00:13:06.400
the half the country did but the other half the democrats still were believing that at least the press
00:13:11.900
was on their side they believed that even if the press lied at least it was lying for their benefit
00:13:20.100
and maybe it was biased but it was biased for them whatever this is is something different
00:13:27.440
this was not being biased in a way that would help democrats and boy did they find out they just said
00:13:34.660
uh if we'd known this a year ago we would not be in this fix so not only did the news screw the
00:13:42.400
republicans or try to it missed on that but it completely gaslit and completely brainwashed their
00:13:51.240
own team to the what i would consider is the verge of generational destruction of the entire democratic
00:13:58.440
party they're on the verge of a generational collapse it'll take a long time to recover from
00:14:04.680
i would say that that's new what's new is that both sides see it at the same time and there's no
00:14:12.780
question about it and they know it was fuckery they know it wasn't a mistake people know it wasn't
00:14:20.260
a mistake everybody knows it wasn't a mistake that's different than 20 years ago
00:14:27.240
all right all right so i'd expect a backlash so i think that the uh the news people who realized
00:14:36.600
that democrats uh had coerced them into destroying not only truth but their own reputations the
00:14:45.360
democrats in the in the press now understand that their own lives have been destroyed their reputations
00:14:52.780
their professional pride have been destroyed by the democrats who pushed them into becoming
00:15:00.360
propagandists because if they didn't become propagandists they wouldn't have access to
00:15:04.740
democrats they wouldn't be able to go to parties so they were essentially blackmailed in a social sense
00:15:12.540
into conforming and then they were blackmailed and then they lost if you get blackmailed the one
00:15:19.600
thing that you do expect is like oh at least i got blackmailed i had to pay something but at least
00:15:24.920
i got something out of it right if they had become propagandist bad they wouldn't like it but at least
00:15:32.300
if they were respected they'd say well i sure don't like being a propagandist but i sure like
00:15:37.640
having a respected job in the media the democrats took both away from them they talked they took their
00:15:44.900
honesty they took their honesty they turned them into liars and then they revealed they revealed
00:15:52.220
the liar they revealed the lies to the public that is somebody you don't trust i would trust a real
00:16:00.760
blackmailer more than i would trust the democrats because a real blackmailer has at least some chance
00:16:06.460
of doing what they said they would do you know not always but the democrats just said that they're going to
00:16:14.020
blackmail you and they're going to and after you've done what they want they're going to release the
00:16:19.800
blackmail information that's what happened we're going to make you propagandists but it's okay because
00:16:25.900
nobody will really know for sure oh except that we're going to tell them for sure you're a propagandist
00:16:31.340
after you've been doing it for a few years you can't you can't go back oh my god if i were in the
00:16:37.840
press right now if my job were to carry the water for the democrats i would be throwing them so far
00:16:44.740
under the bus i would be fucking them as hard as i could because of what they did to me for the last
00:16:50.500
five years and the reputational damage they did and i think you're going to start to see that
00:16:56.780
i think you already are uh tucker carlson was in australia giving a speech he couldn't have been
00:17:03.020
happier because he'd seen the debate recently and he tells the story of uh he you know he's connected
00:17:08.800
with people that lived in washington for a long time so he knew people who knew people so he was a
00:17:15.260
behind the curtain kind of guy in a maximum way and he said that since 2019 he knew from personal
00:17:22.700
contacts with the biden family that the biden family knew he had dementia they were concerned
00:17:28.920
because he wanted to run they didn't want him to run because he had dementia and that was known
00:17:34.700
to people who were close to the family because somebody that was close to the family was close
00:17:40.920
to tucker and he knew it and he said it on tv and everybody mocked him for it they called him racist as
00:17:48.140
he says as he says they call you racist if you get something right um but part of the story i think this
00:17:55.860
is maybe speculative but it's something that tucker put out there uh that the family didn't think he
00:18:02.780
would get nominated so they may have been just sort of playing along thinking that you know it was just
00:18:08.300
sort of a last hurrah he wants to do it can't say no but they didn't think he'd actually get nominated
00:18:14.200
because they could see where they could see he was kind of gone and then he did and then uh there
00:18:22.000
are lots of accusations that i think also look real they look real to some level but maybe
00:18:28.660
hyperbole which is that jill has been running the country and that she doesn't want to give up her
00:18:35.400
power and her lifestyle and her state dinners and her fancy dresses and she doesn't want to have to be
00:18:40.940
the one who's the wet nurse to biden all day long and frankly it might be about the money
00:18:45.200
i i think the thing that you forget is that their money sources dried up and it's going to be real
00:18:51.560
expensive to have full-time care for biden forever which is where he's at so i think that the jill is
00:19:01.380
making and has made real world completely explainable decisions based on the situation she's in and
00:19:10.400
you know you could imagine a human in that situation would act the way she's accused of
00:19:15.560
being acting i think it goes too far to say that we know exactly what she's thinking or why she's doing
00:19:21.200
it but those would be reasonable speculations that we haven't heard enough from her to disprove
00:19:29.100
so at this point maybe jill has been running the country i don't know um so both the new york times
00:19:37.580
and nbc news have both reported that jill biden is the primary decision maker hold that in your head
00:19:44.940
these are the two um well two of the three biggest propaganda machines the washington post being the
00:19:52.500
other nbc news and new york times and they both surprise they're on the same they're on the same page
00:20:00.860
surprise uh so they're saying that jill biden is the primary now that obviously shows they want
00:20:06.480
biden to leave the race it can't be more obvious than that and so they're putting that out there too
00:20:13.980
that jill biden might be the primary decision maker now i think it's probably more complicated
00:20:19.720
i think that jill biden doesn't know the details of a lot of policies so she's probably just taking the
00:20:28.180
word of the experts who come to her and say you know you got to tell your husband to do this or that
00:20:33.540
and she would probably say well i don't know much about you know geopolitics but if you say so i'll
00:20:40.980
tell him so i don't think it's exactly her looking at the policies and making decisions with the
00:20:48.400
exception of maybe something simple like abortion or something but i feel like the experts are telling
00:20:54.560
her what to tell biden and maybe she's doing it so it's probably some hybrid between she's the gatekeeper
00:21:02.360
yes but she's probably not assuming she knows how to make policy that's my guess anyway

00:21:25.180
than you think um but let's take the theory from nbc news and new york times that michelle
00:21:32.000
that jill biden has been running the show and that brings up an awkward question how come
00:21:38.960
every time we talk about who might replace joe biden we talk about michelle obama michelle obama
00:21:47.120
why because she had once been married to a president well if it's true according to the
00:21:53.820
new york times and the nbc news which democrats believe is truth jill biden has been running the
00:22:01.740
country for three and a half years and she's done a great job according to democrats democrats will tell
00:22:08.460
you that the first three and a half years under biden were just gangbusters you know he got he got
00:22:14.700
legislation through he fixed all the trump's problems man he's killing it well if it's also
00:22:21.500
true as the new york times and nbc report that jill was the one who was the decision maker then it
00:22:29.300
follows that jill biden has three and a half years of being one of the best presidents the democrats have
00:22:35.880
ever seen why would they skip her when they're trying to decide who would replace joe biden she's the
00:22:42.920
obvious choice she's been making his decisions for three and a half years she knows how the whole
00:22:48.540
town works by now and she's successful experienced successful currently doing the job how do you beat
00:22:58.360
that how do you beat that and and why would they even think that michelle obama or why would you
00:23:05.220
think michelle obama would skip the uh old white lady well you know at least jill's got a little dei
00:23:13.780
you know magic in her because she's a woman so that's not nothing but i feel like maybe it's a
00:23:20.200
little dei problem that you'd say how about michelle obama has no interest in politics and has never run
00:23:25.460
a country instead of the old white woman who clearly has an interest in politics and has been running the
00:23:31.600
country according to democrats really well she's killing it anyway point is they're not being
00:23:39.700
genuine with you i think we need a betting pool for which a celebrity supporter of uh biden will leave
00:23:46.440
the sinking ship last because think of all these people who are still trying to support um biden
00:23:54.840
streisand cluny the the view the host of the view rob reiner stephen king john cusick reed hoffman
00:24:02.480
and de niro and rob reiner did i say him twice okay and uh rob reiner just posted rick wilson once said
00:24:13.520
quote everything trump touches dies if we allow him to become president democracy will die now let me give
00:24:22.740
a little uh advice to rob reiner um when to know when to quit
00:24:29.320
it's hard to know when to quit you know as kenny rogers said you got to know when to hold them and
00:24:35.980
know when to fold them you got to know when to quit and i'll tell you there's a signal that you could
00:24:42.160
look for in yourself in your own actions that would tell you it's time to quit talking in public
00:24:48.560
and the biggest signal that you should never talk in public again is if you think quoting rick wilson
00:24:58.740
so hey you trumpers i got a zinger for you here's a quote from rick wilson
00:25:10.900
no if you're quoting rick wilson for your political opinions that's a signal you should
00:25:17.580
never talk in public again trust me on this if you find yourself doing it
00:25:23.220
stop talking in public close all of your social media accounts and don't accept any social invitations
00:25:32.400
you are not a person who should be around other people something's gone wrong you need to fix that
00:25:39.960
first okay uh so anyway my money's on punchy de niro as being the last one off the sinking ship
00:25:47.080
i think what will be interesting is that whoever is the last to leave we are we will presume is the
00:25:56.580
most blackmailed i think we all have the same feeling that some of these characters almost certainly
00:26:03.620
are being blackmailed into their support of biden doesn't it feel like that to you
00:26:08.260
there's something going on somebody's being paid to do it these don't seem like genuine opinions
00:26:15.020
honestly i know what a genuine opinion looks like it doesn't look like these guys
00:26:20.460
they look like some of them i'm not going to name names specifically but some of the people on the list
00:26:26.220
just look like the cia must have some sex secrets on them something there's something going on here
00:26:33.240
that's not they're not acting like normal smart people there's something going on
00:26:38.400
well we've got a news report from insiders uh that would have been nice to know this earlier
00:26:45.400
but apparently people knew this but didn't tell us until now keep in mind they didn't tell you until now
00:26:53.700
apparently biden is pretty cogent from 10 a.m to 4 p.m but before and after those times uh he cannot be
00:27:02.200
trusted this is something they've known for a while wouldn't it be nice to mention that the
00:27:10.120
president of the united states is functional only 25 of every day i feel like that would have been
00:27:17.100
important to know if journalism was a real job but it isn't it isn't it's not a real job
00:27:24.200
all right uh so there's uh what what percentage
00:27:32.520
of people uh who were uh surveyed let's see this was a cbs poll uh what percentage uh say that biden
00:27:41.780
has cognitive ability to do the job what's your guess oh my god you're so good yeah 25 but actually
00:27:50.580
27 so 27 of people after the debates i think that uh biden has a cognitive ability for the job
00:27:58.760
now if you're new to my live stream we have a running gag that is that 25 of the public will get
00:28:06.340
every poll question wrong and by wrong i mean that usually there's a smart answer and a really stupid
00:28:13.220
one the stupid one in this case i mean unambiguously stupid it's really obvious biden doesn't have a
00:28:20.560
cognitive ability for another term right even the smart democrats believe that to be obvious and true
00:28:27.840
and yet and yet in one of the rare cases where the top republicans and the top democrats are on
00:28:35.980
exactly the same page that biden does not have the cognitive ability still 25 of the public said
00:28:44.100
he looks fine to me i don't even know what you're talking about he looks good to me
00:28:48.480
you mean his stutter you're talking about his stutter why are you holding that against him
00:28:56.900
so uh then a wall street journal story reveals that biden was so feeble at a g7 summit
00:29:05.260
that he needed help reading talking points and he missed a dinner for world leaders
00:29:10.820
he had he needed help reading talking points off a page so that's nothing to worry about
00:29:18.960
aren't you glad we're not sending trump to the g7 and embarrassing us because the way he slaps back
00:29:26.380
oh no the embarrassment i i how did i ever get over it the embarrassment of trump meeting with world
00:29:35.600
leaders uh they were laughing behind his back yeah they're they're totally not laughing about biden
00:29:41.420
behind his back yep nope nobody's doing that i don't see any reporting about them laughing behind
00:29:48.460
his back that he can't read all the time sometimes he can
00:29:59.760
that uh biden raised 27 million dollars after the worst debate in the history of the world
00:30:06.060
somebody smart on x said that's probably a trick
00:30:10.860
and the trick is probably that that was money that was already committed
00:30:16.320
and they just waited until after the debate so they could say that whatever happened
00:30:21.120
look at all the money he raised so he must have won
00:30:23.720
so don't think that he really raised money based on that debate
00:30:28.480
it was probably people who had pre-committed and couldn't back out
00:30:32.540
because i ask you this who would be smart enough to have millions of dollars
00:30:38.520
that they could debate so they have to be smart enough to have millions of dollars
00:30:43.440
and yet so fucking dumb that they think putting it in biden's campaign will be a plus
00:30:50.940
that the world will be better or that their money will be well spent
00:30:54.760
who exactly has millions of dollars and is that dumb at the same time
00:30:58.980
that's got to be a really small group of people at this point
00:31:02.480
i mean i'd love to see them do they all have haircuts like the
00:31:06.480
white house doctor i feel like every one of them is going to have that dumb and
00:31:10.380
dumber haircut here's a million dollars it looks good to me
00:31:17.600
all right i was uh amused to find out do you know the all in pod
00:31:26.200
you know the all in podcast it's got you know david sacks and chamath and
00:31:35.660
and you probably recognized if you know if you're a trump supporter and you watch
00:31:42.940
the social media uh you've probably seen them and you probably said to yourself
00:31:47.360
oh my god these guys are smart did you did you have that same feeling
00:31:51.840
that no matter whether you agree with them or not you're getting
00:32:00.100
friedberg try to remember their names um but if you watch that and i do it's one
00:32:06.540
of my favorites i i always go away from it thinking
00:32:10.560
oh my god they're so smart do you have that feeling
00:32:14.040
you don't really listen to podcasters who are that smart you know maybe
00:32:22.640
you know somebody like that but typically i'm not listening to a podcast
00:32:27.760
and thinking to myself my god how much do they know
00:32:30.840
they know so many things about so many things and they can put them in the right
00:32:37.440
just it's just such a addition to the political
00:32:40.500
conversation because they're not partisans per se
00:32:44.140
you know they take a side but it's based on what makes sense it's not based on
00:32:50.860
so they're probably one of the strongest intellectual contributions
00:32:57.100
to the united states in how long maybe ever i don't know it's one of
00:33:02.220
the best things i've ever seen but did you know that there's a
00:33:07.460
democrat version of that in which it's like opposite world
00:33:15.580
and and like the all-in pod it's looks like four friends or is it five and they
00:33:21.820
sit around the table and unlike the all-in pod they might be the dumbest
00:33:28.860
people you've ever seen in your life and i watched it in just fascination
00:33:34.940
just fascination so they want i watched uh their podcast after they uh
00:33:41.180
um after they did after they watched the debate and they were all you know
00:33:48.900
biden had shit the bed so nobody was kidding themselves
00:33:52.780
you know he was gone gone but they're basically the the feminine
00:33:58.480
version of the all-in pod you know i'm not saying that the all-in pod guys
00:34:05.440
you know are are bench pressing 300 pounds a piece
00:34:09.280
i'm saying that when you listen to them they sound like males
00:34:24.880
now i'm not saying that's good or bad right there's no judgment whatsoever
00:34:28.720
i don't know if they're lgbtq or not i couldn't tell
00:34:33.680
and that's not important what what's interesting is that there's
00:34:37.280
there's like a a reverse group that's so there's so maps to the all-in pod but
00:34:44.000
the bad version again bad is not characterizing their femininity is just
00:34:53.280
and here's the sort of thing one of them was saying while waving his hands and
00:34:56.960
gesticulating like crazy uh talking about biden and replacing
00:35:04.880
now whenever anybody says we need to have this conversation
00:35:09.920
you should turn the channel it means they don't have anything
00:35:14.880
the reason you turn into podcasts is because you need to have the conversation
00:35:19.040
if what the podcast tells you is you need to have a conversation
00:35:22.800
but you tuned in to have a conversation what exactly are they adding
00:35:27.360
so that's the least additive thing you can ever say now i do say it sometimes too
00:35:32.160
i mean everybody says it once in a while but if it's your main go-to
00:35:35.760
well yeah i've got a problem you have to have a conversation about it
00:35:43.360
how about pushing it a little bit but no we gotta have a conversation
00:35:51.840
it doesn't sound a lot like what men say what men usually say is
00:35:56.400
here's what we got to do they might be right they might be stupid
00:36:04.720
right or wrong what they don't say is we have to have a conversation
00:36:09.520
that is so feminine sounding to me and i'm going to a point here
00:36:14.000
they're also afraid to death about the john favreau was talking about the
00:36:18.000
the danger of trump and you know the scary scary future and you know they would
00:36:23.440
they might have to support anybody but trump because this trump future is
00:36:37.680
i can't remember the last time i was afraid the way they act afraid
00:36:43.600
i've never been afraid like that i get angry if i don't like things you know i do
00:36:48.960
things sometimes but i've never just sat around being afraid
00:36:52.800
oh my god oh my god it's just completely feminine energy
00:36:58.080
it's so interesting so the question i would ask is
00:37:02.160
what exactly is the fear can you be more specific
00:37:06.160
now i've asked this question of a number of people do you know what they always
00:37:16.240
when uh they say trump is too scary uh and you say give me an example like scary
00:37:23.920
scary in what sense exactly scary and can you give me some for instances
00:37:30.560
you know what they do they will always mention a hoax
00:37:35.680
that they either believe is true or they want you to believe in true
00:37:39.600
and if you debunk that hoax what are they going to do
00:37:43.120
they go to the next hoax every time if they say the fine people hoax and you
00:37:48.480
debunk it show them that that's been debunked snopes debunked it the
00:37:51.920
transcript debunks it do they say it whoa that really changes
00:37:55.920
my thinking no they will immediately go to another hoax
00:37:59.760
well he said that the all the mexicans are rapists
00:38:04.160
well suppose you debunk that because of course he never meant all the people are
00:38:14.480
the idea that he was being racist and that he was just using hyperbole about too
00:38:18.240
much crime i could come across even if they accepted it you know what they
00:38:21.920
would say next yeah but you have to see it in the context of the
00:38:26.240
fine people hoax plus all the other things he said like the
00:38:30.240
shithole countries and they say wait a minute wait a minute
00:38:33.520
the shithole countries again was not about race it was about their
00:38:37.360
socioeconomic situation and whether they're sending us
00:38:40.720
trained qualified educated people okay sure okay maybe you can think of it that
00:38:52.960
so i've said before they have a mesh network of hoaxes
00:38:57.280
when one of the hoaxes goes down the other hoaxes
00:39:05.040
and then you take down another node with another debunk
00:39:08.400
and it only takes a minute for it to come back online
00:39:18.240
and it's really powerful but it's mostly just words
00:39:22.960
he'll steal your democracy uh by the way i just use ai to create a
00:39:28.000
image of an old man with his mouth hanging open
00:39:30.560
sitting on a park park bench which uh chat gpt gave me instantly
00:39:40.560
uh he's stealing my democracy like a box of chocolates
00:39:45.200
because that's what i hear stealing my democracy isn't even close
00:39:49.120
to a political thought that's pure brainwashing
00:39:52.880
anybody who really thinks that's going to happen
00:39:55.680
has to explain the first four years without reference to the january 6 hoax
00:40:01.440
because they're stealing my democracy they will refer to a hoax
00:40:05.680
they will never refer to anything real that happened always a hoax
00:40:08.800
well he tried to take over the country what with rearranging that lectern and stuff
00:40:15.200
and and they actually say that like that actually makes some sense
00:40:18.720
that he had a path to take over the country or even that he thought he did
00:40:24.560
describe that path exactly how do you trespass your way into owning a country
00:40:29.120
has anybody ever done that has that ever worked anywhere i think we'd like to audit the results
00:40:37.680
give us two days well that's a what kind of insurrection are you trying to push here no no
00:40:43.280
do i no opposite of that i i wanted to we all want to just make sure that the anomalies we all see
00:40:50.400
are historical anomalies that are because of some natural reason
00:40:54.160
like a coincidence or maybe they mean something because we want to protect the republic and make
00:41:00.880
sure we got the right answer well why are you trying to overthrow the country so hard no no no
00:41:05.920
that's the opposite of what we just said we're trying to prevent the country from being overthrown
00:41:11.680
because it looks like that just happened well well well why are you trying to steal my democracy
00:41:18.480
okay i'm not getting through what is happening here and it's the mesh network the mesh network
00:41:25.840
keeps all the all the hoaxes alive so it's created this this like bubble this mesh network bubble
00:41:33.120
uh like a buckyball around these people and they can't get out and when they get out and see a glimpse
00:41:39.280
of the real world for the first time as they did with the debate they are shocked and horrified and their
00:41:47.120
brains are just shutting down i mean you can see complete panic and the effect it has on reasoning
00:41:54.000
panic does not help your reasoning skills and you're seeing that from the democrats they've gone
00:41:59.120
from not so clever to batshit crazy in about two seconds after the debate searchlight pictures
00:42:07.120
presents the roses only in theaters august 29th from the director of meet the parents and the writer of
00:42:13.200
poor things comes the roses starring academy award winner olivia coleman academy award nominee benedict
00:42:19.680
cumberbatch andy sandberg kate mckinnon and allison janney a hilarious new comedy filled with drama
00:42:25.920
excitement and a little bit of hatred proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses see the roses
00:42:32.320
only in theaters august 29th get tickets now so here are the things that they say that that how in the world
00:42:38.960
they even come up with this he'll steal your democracy he wants to be a dictator he's bringing
00:42:43.680
chaos he thinks he's above the law he's going to take women's bodily autonomy autonomy away he's going
00:42:50.640
to put journalists in camps none of those are real those are all based on their own hoaxes
00:43:00.240
they've hoaxed themselves into a fright which is real now they may have been aware at some point
00:43:08.000
that each of the nodes of the hoax mesh network were not exactly real but you know it worked for
00:43:14.640
politics so they didn't mind but at some point and i mean this literally and seriously they actually
00:43:20.960
talked themselves into their own hoaxes and you know why they talked themselves into their own hoaxes
00:43:27.840
because even if one of the hoaxes doesn't look perfectly real well you have to see it in the
00:43:33.440
context of all those other hoaxes so they laundry list persuasion themselves into a belief that they
00:43:40.320
didn't start with they i believe literally this is my interpretation i believe they actually hypnotized
00:43:46.960
themselves accidentally in in the effort to hypnotize the other team i think they brainwashed themselves
00:43:53.840
into an actual physical fear because you can see the the uh the men on pod save america they looked
00:44:03.920
actually afraid now some of it might have been career wise and you know their team players and
00:44:09.200
stuff but i think they were actually afraid so they've talked themselves into thinking that there's
00:44:13.920
a monster under the bed and that the monster stayed under the bed for four years and never came out
00:44:20.320
even though they said he was and for sure but they have that january 6 hoax that they can hold on to
00:44:29.600
and say he did come out he just waited to the last day and then he came out hard no he didn't he told
00:44:36.480
people to protest peacefully and nancy pelosi apparently fell down on the security job and it got in hand
00:44:43.680
he did come out on the security job and he did come out on the security job and he did come out
00:44:49.520
i would love to see trump sit down with some uh registered democrats and ask them what they're so afraid of
00:44:57.760
literally just have a lunch with some democrats say four democrats sit there at lunch put the microphone
00:45:04.000
on have them actually eat and have a you know just spend an hour with the president the future president i think
00:45:10.960
um because here trump has a has a super weapon that he has not employed to its highest degree his
00:45:20.320
superpower is that his charisma is notwithstanding but if you're in the same room and i had had the
00:45:28.400
pleasure of experiencing it you can't you can't dislike him he is so freaking likable and here's why he's
00:45:37.200
likable you know you go into the room thinking oh he's too he's too good for me he's a narcissist it's
00:45:43.440
all it's going to be all about him and then you spend the entire time with him intensely concentrating
00:45:49.200
on you and asking about your situation your personal life your success in life and your opinion that's
00:45:57.680
what happened to me and others report the same thing when you're in the room with him he makes the room
00:46:03.520
disappear and you're the only one in the room you can't even see the furniture it's just you and him
00:46:09.760
he creates a world where it's just you and him and he cares about you he can do that to anybody he
00:46:15.200
didn't do it just because i'm a supporter it's natural it's just him he has crazy crazy interpersonal
00:46:22.880
skills you don't see it when he's talking in public because he's in he's sort of in presentation
00:46:28.400
you know bombastic mode but as soon as you get in a room with him where you're just people
00:46:34.160
he's so powerful like you you don't know how powerful he is in person it's crazy um
00:46:42.720
so they also have the problem that he's a convicted felon and he's got bad character
00:46:47.200
i think the the answers to that are they all are you know if you think you're picking the
00:46:53.120
politician who didn't cheat on his wife come on maybe good luck with that you're picking the
00:47:02.080
politician who didn't do anything that you don't like good luck with that good luck with that so i
00:47:08.800
don't think that's a real thing i think he's just trump is just more transparent because he's been
00:47:14.160
studied to death and he admitted who he is and we found out and then we said oh well that's why you
00:47:19.840
you told us who you are everybody knew all right so somebody uh somebody else was watching the uh
00:47:28.720
the pod save america the one i was talking about with the democrats who were all worried
00:47:34.000
uh jeff copage on x said quote could any of those guys change a tire
00:47:42.080
i thought that summed it up pretty good all right james carville was on yet another show saying that
00:47:47.120
the democrats are using feminine messaging and they're too preachy that is correct the democrats
00:47:54.080
are using feminine messaging but also the men the men who are democrats as in the uh the uh
00:48:03.760
pod save america they're men but it's a feminine message we're afraid we're afraid of the scary guy
00:48:10.640
that's just so purely feminine all right so i think carville got a lot of love in the audience um for that
00:48:22.880
so the funniest thing is that people are saying uh people trying to defend biden they're trying to
00:48:27.200
figure out any way to defend them and they've they've settled on biden started to debate a little slow
00:48:33.360
but he picked up speed toward the end so i did a meme on x where an old man is falling off a cliff
00:48:40.320
because you know the part where he's on the cliff at the top he starts a little slow but once he falls
00:48:47.200
off the cliff he picks up a lot of steam right toward the end there that's what it felt like to
00:48:53.040
me sort of a not the biggest compliment um and then others are saying they would vote for a dead trump
00:49:00.400
they would vote for a dead biden over a living trump because trump is so scary again how about having
00:49:06.720
lunch with him see if you think he's scary or he just uses hyperbole to help you see what you think
00:49:14.160
speaking of the all-in pod david sachs did a summary of where we're at and it's such a perfect summary i'm
00:49:21.280
just going to read it to you said quote the democratic party is a collection of interests
00:49:26.160
so that's that's the the best way to understand the democrats is not their one thing they're not
00:49:32.080
one thing and obama's in charge it's definitely not that they're a collection of interests that are
00:49:38.240
compatible but different uh the collection of interests who want to remain in power of course
00:49:44.080
everybody does the democratic party is the party of government its goal is to allocate money and power
00:49:49.840
from the government to the collection of interests who back the democratic party that is correct in
00:49:55.920
other words it's basically a collection of interests who want to loot the republic that is correct
00:50:03.600
well obviously no one's going to vote for that so they have to make it about something else
00:50:08.640
they choose a figurehead they talk about how this is about saving democracy oh they basically invent
00:50:15.920
hoax after hoax almost like a hoax mesh of some sort lie after lie to basically maintain their power
00:50:22.880
and i think what's happening is the mask has come off the whole shell game has been revealed
00:50:29.120
it's obvious that biden was always a puppet for these interests who were hiding behind him
00:50:33.520
and now it's all being exposed and that is exactly what's happening it's not about biden's battery bad
00:50:40.720
performance it's about ripping the lid off the whole system because you can see it clearly now
00:50:46.640
you can see it's a bunch of interests who want the jobs they want the government contracts they want
00:50:51.840
their military industrial purchases and they will rather have a corpse in office if it gets them paid
00:50:59.120
all right um so now let's check in with the democrats so you saw how smart the all-in pod can be in
00:51:10.800
sacks in particular uh let's see some democrat thinking because surely there are a lot of brilliant people
00:51:17.200
over on the democrat side so they must be doing good things too um so they're mostly talking about
00:51:24.320
replacing biden and i guess the biden's meeting in camp david with his family today to decide about
00:51:32.000
the future but uh it's gonna be tough because if they replace him they can't really take newsom for
00:51:41.600
example and have him skip over the black woman who's the vice president so as melissa chen noted
00:51:48.960
uh the problem that they have is don't forget that one of the major reasons the democrats are in this
00:51:54.880
bind which is they can't use biden and they can't replace him that's the bind the reason they're in
00:52:00.560
this bind is because of dei well thank god i'm not the only one who noticed right now my argument about dei
00:52:08.720
in case you're new has nothing to do with anybody's race or sex or gender or anything it has only to do
00:52:16.960
with a system design if you design a system that has more demand for something than there is supply
00:52:24.880
something will get distorted because of that imbalance and in my opinion there were not enough
00:52:32.000
highly qualified uh diverse people to pick as vice president so biden picked the best person who was
00:52:39.840
available in the limited pool of available candidates now in my opinion the reason the pool is limited has a
00:52:46.640
lot to do with the failure of uh early education there should be a whole bunch more black women who
00:52:54.480
when you looked at kamala harris you said huh she's one of several people who could start tomorrow and be
00:53:00.560
the president we should be if we had better you know young education but we are where we are the the supply of
00:53:10.480
capable diverse people is less than anybody wants and if you have to pick one somebody's going to pick
00:53:17.440
whatever's left and that's what kabla was she had two things going for her she looked less capable than
00:53:24.960
biden so you always like your vice president to be a notch below which was a hard bar you know hard to
00:53:30.880
get somebody who's capable and also looks worse than biden that's kind of an impossibility and then also has to be
00:53:39.040
diverse so think of the impossibility has to be a capable person but also less capable than biden and
00:53:48.480
biden was already as low in the capabilities you could get as we know now it was obvious to us and
00:53:55.040
then she also has to be diverse in just the right way not just black half black and not just a woman
00:54:01.680
she's got to have them both so now they can't get rid of her because if they do it's going to be
00:54:07.760
going against all their deepest principles and uh it's going to be quite a problem so i don't
00:54:14.720
think so i'm going to say that newsom has no chance of being the nominee newsom has no chance
00:54:24.080
because he's a white guy that's it there's just no way that's going to fly in the democrat party of
00:54:29.920
today by the way bakari sellers um who's a democrat news black and was on cnn said it directly there's
00:54:37.680
no way the white guy is going to jump over the the black woman you know the democrats just aren't
00:54:43.680
going to go for that and i think he's right i think that analysis is exactly correct so here's the funny
00:54:50.720
part here comes the funny summary funny summary now remember the concept of a funny summary because
00:55:01.440
i'm going to talk about it when i get to the whiteboard here's my funny summary now a funny a
00:55:07.280
summary is only funny if it strikes you as true and you didn't quite think of it in those terms yet
00:55:14.720
so here it is our current situation is that the public just found out
00:55:22.240
that joe biden is incompetent now what's funny about that situation is everybody who is a republican
00:55:30.640
knew that and apparently everybody in the press knew he was incompetent and they still pushed him
00:55:36.640
forward and it brought and it brought them to this terrible situation so if there's one thing you want
00:55:42.160
to avoid it's doing this again and by this i mean putting somebody forward as a nominee who everybody knows
00:55:52.000
is massively incompetent you don't want to do that again so you know what they're going to do
00:56:00.960
they're going to put kamala harris forward that's just joe biden 2.0 that's somebody that we all know
00:56:09.840
is incapable of doing the basic work we know it and by the way i'm not saying you know i never said
00:56:17.440
that hillary hillary clinton was incapable did you ever hear me say that and i was very you know anti
00:56:23.760
hillary clinton her problem is she's too capable at what she wants to do no hillary cape hillary clinton
00:56:30.560
is a very high functioning human being i don't say this about every democrat but how did they find
00:56:37.920
the two worst democrats in all of democrat world who you know weren't nadler i suppose they could have
00:56:44.160
been nadler so there was a way that could have been worse but the summary is this the democrats and
00:56:53.840
their press got caught putting an incompetent forward and so to make sure that never happens
00:57:00.640
once again they're going to put kamala harris forward now you could not write that joke
00:57:08.560
and people think it was real like a real life thing they'd say well that's not gonna happen
00:57:12.960
the obvious thing they're going to do is make sure they don't make the same mistake again
00:57:17.200
but because of dei they looks like they're going to make the same mistake again they're just going
00:57:24.720
to recreate the same problem and i don't think that they have an organizational design in the democrats
00:57:31.920
where they can avoid this problem they've designed a system that guarantees they will recreate the problem
00:57:38.560
and then they're going to do it right in front of you to show that i'm right that the design of the
00:57:43.520
system can only produce incompetent people at this point and it has nothing to do with race or gender
00:57:51.760
the system design can only produce incompetence at this point sorry i didn't design it i'm just
00:58:00.960
observing the system design on paper can only produce incompetence now i'm not sure that that's the
00:58:09.600
same on the other side i think the republicans put forward a whole bunch of good candidates in the
00:58:15.680
primaries and i think that one of those candidates destroyed the others thus demonstrating a superior
00:58:22.080
ability to communicate with you know similar policies in a sense but superior ability to do the
00:58:27.840
communication stuff so that's merit i mean the the republicans ran pure merit and look what they got
00:58:35.120
they got a candidate who could destroy boy biden in public their system the republican system on paper
00:58:44.000
because it's competitive you should predict it would produce a good candidate and it did the democrat
00:58:51.840
process if you throw the dei stuff in there on paper it should fail most of the time and it is
00:58:58.880
all right um so how can the uh how can the democrats make the same mistake again well as a ex user whose
00:59:14.320
name i'm not going to tell you because it's uh intentionally chosen to be provocative but part of
00:59:20.640
his name is kyle so i think kyle said this uh the democrats are unburdened by what has been
00:59:29.040
okay that was good they can make the same mistake over and over again because
00:59:35.440
they're unburdened by what has been they literally can't learn okay that's just perfect that's just
00:59:43.200
perfect tyler you get you get the win for the day uh david axelrod i don't know if he means it or not
00:59:50.880
i think he does uh he said it's too late to replace biden it was a smart conversation a year ago but he's
00:59:57.360
not going to quit and he's the only one who can decide and uh even though the heritage foundation
01:00:03.440
and others are working on legal challenges if he state if he is replaced apparently there are three
01:00:08.720
swing states georgia nevada and wisconsin that could theoretically restrict biden's uh replacement on
01:00:16.880
the ballot here's what i think i think there's no real chance that three states would
01:00:24.800
mess with a democrat candidate to that level i think that even though there's not much time left
01:00:31.600
if those three states thought that they could not have a legitimate election they wouldn't let their
01:00:36.960
state look like idiots they would immediately jump into action say all right all right we'll reprint
01:00:42.160
the ballots or whatever they have to do and we'll make sure that everybody can run
01:00:45.600
i think the fact that they have legal obstacles about changing somebody out uh after a certain
01:00:52.880
point i think they'll be flexible and by the way they should i don't i don't want i don't want trump
01:01:00.240
to win because of a technicality are you with me now i know some of you can say all the matters is
01:01:06.560
winning i get it i get it i've heard your argument but it's going to be big trouble if the only reason
01:01:13.360
democrats think they want is because the states were messing with the rules that's that's what
01:01:18.800
democrats do that's not what you want your republicans to be doing you don't want them to
01:01:24.240
get some technical cheap shit bullshit win you want you want trump to do what he's poised to do
01:01:31.280
bulldoze biden into the dustbin of history right in front of everybody using their rules
01:01:38.880
just the way they're written that's the win you want so i have mixed feelings about keeping
01:01:44.880
them off the ballot um i don't think i think axelrod might be pumping up his own resume because i
01:01:52.960
guarantee you that a year ago he was telling people on the inside maybe you should think about a
01:01:57.920
replacement i think he's reminding you that people like him were the smart ones and the people currently
01:02:04.560
in charge are incompetent i think that's the real message i don't know if his prediction that
01:02:10.240
biden will definitely stay in is real i would bet against him and by the way that's a gutsy bet
01:02:16.880
because because axelrod well no i'm going to stick with my original prediction so i'm going to agree with
01:02:25.600
axelrod i was going to disagree but just for fun you know predictions are as much for fun as anything else
01:02:31.520
just for fun i'm going to stick with my original prediction that only biden can decide and he won't
01:02:37.280
decide he'll stay in now i said that before i knew the entire family was going to meet this weekend
01:02:45.680
the family will clearly try to talk him out of it do you agree the family will clearly try to talk him
01:02:53.280
out of it that's the whole point they're not going to meet to not talk him out of it they're meeting to
01:02:57.520
talk him out of it that's pretty strong i think i think biden doesn't have the strength to
01:03:06.400
contradict his own family if they if they act as one i don't think they have any
01:03:12.400
yeah i'm saying newsom can never be the nominee that's what i'm saying newsom can never jump over
01:03:18.560
harris because that would be a dei problem and their whole reputation is dei if they give that up what
01:03:25.280
were they what are the democrats what are they if they ignore dei when they pick their candidate
01:03:32.480
that that would be the last thing that they had going for him is at least they were pushing for
01:03:36.400
that one thing and people liked it some people so no there isn't there is no path there is no path
01:03:45.040
for newsom and he knows it by the way he knows it maybe there will be but at the current environment

01:05:03.520
10 people at a family gathering and everybody was talking about the debate and they were a mixed
01:05:09.760
group you had your independents and your trump supporters and few democrats and what did all 10 of
01:05:16.720
them say after the debate all 10 of them they're all leaning in the same direction what was after the
01:05:24.000
debate 10 people from various different parties what did they say you guess you tell me what they said
01:05:29.760
what would you guess 10 people in a room would say after the debate when they were in they were different
01:05:36.800
political leanings if you don't know the answer to this you might have a big surprise coming
01:05:45.920
they said they're voting for rfk jr 10 out of 10 10 10 out of 10. now the 10 out of 10 was somebody's
01:05:55.760
assumption they didn't all say they were voting for him but they all said you know what rfk jr is looking
01:06:02.240
good so here's what happened while you weren't watching you know rfk jr that spunky challenger who
01:06:17.040
didn't have really any chance of winning remember that guy he's a coin flip now
01:06:23.840
rfk jr is a coin flip if you think that the last week showed you that trump is going to roll to
01:06:32.000
victory oh we got lots of surprises coming you got lots of surprises and one of them is since we know
01:06:40.080
the the democrats will literally will literally say we prefer a dead man to trump rfk jr is way better
01:06:48.720
than a dead man way better right now he might have a little problem beating the character issue
01:06:57.440
because he's got some things in his past but at the moment people seem to like him on both sides
01:07:04.240
at least you know as a human being and as a patriot and as a you know benefit to the country i think he's
01:07:09.360
all those things so i think he's going to enter the conversation in the big way and it's going to happen
01:07:15.760
really fast and you're going to say to yourself oh shit maybe trump should not have taken biden out so
01:07:27.440
but rfk jr has the older white man problem i don't think he can get past it but he might take enough
01:07:35.120
votes away from trump that it becomes a problem that's possible
01:07:39.360
anyway if you haven't seen the split screen of biden talking in 2019 versus 2024 you have to see it
01:07:51.440
because it's a big difference now as a chamath said in the all in pod that people don't understand a
01:08:00.080
rate of decay that if you look at something that's falling apart it doesn't fall apart at a smooth one
01:08:06.640
percent per year lots of things times things start slowly oh it looks like it's falling apart a little
01:08:13.040
bit yeah a little bit more a little bit more and then falls apart if you don't understand that there
01:08:19.360
are some things by their nature that fall in that way first slowly and then fast then you didn't
01:08:26.160
necessarily know that biden was a bad choice in 2019 and 20. i knew i knew then that he was not going to
01:08:35.040
make it the full term and the reason is that i know rate of decay i've watched old people die and i
01:08:42.480
know that it starts slow and then it turns fast really quickly so i've seen that cycle several
01:08:47.920
times so yes if you looked at him in 2020 and you said to yourself he's not so bad like i you know i see
01:08:56.080
a little taste of something that's worrisome but he's mostly there if you straight line that and said
01:09:03.520
well that's who he'll be for eight years you were not a good analyst the good analysis should have
01:09:09.760
been uh oh we see a hint of this in four years this is going to be a crisis that was always the right
01:09:16.480
play that's that's exactly what i told you i say he's not going to make it four years and he didn't
01:09:22.480
he did not make it his full term though those who predicted he did not have the mental health to make
01:09:29.200
it even one term can take a bow take a bow were we doctors nope did i need a doctor's expertise to
01:09:39.360
call this one no all i needed to know is that the rate of decay for somebody with you know a mental
01:09:46.400
problem like that is can be steep so it was kind of an easy prediction and the fact that others didn't
01:09:52.480
get it suggests that that rate of decay thing can be misleading all right if you remember in 2016 i
01:10:00.080
became let's say known within the political commentary world for my comments about trump
01:10:07.200
and persuasion and here's something i missed and one once it hit me i thought oh my god trump did his
01:10:15.600
rosie o'donnell thing again remember in 2016 he did the the debate where he was challenged about his
01:10:22.880
you know actions with women or what he said about women and he said only rosie o'donnell
01:10:28.960
and many of us said my god that's the moment that's when everything changed that's when you realize
01:10:35.680
that he was he was too strong to be taken down by weak attacks and that he's gone someplace but he had
01:10:42.960
that moment in this last debate but it was a little bit overshadowed by the fact that biden fell apart
01:10:50.080
so biden's collapse was the big story which diverted even me from noting that he created a masterpiece
01:10:58.320
a masterpiece now i i could argue that his entire debate was a masterpiece of persuasion if you allow me
01:11:06.880
that his fact checking was the usual right but in terms of the energy the leadership
01:11:13.200
the you know the mental acuity um the ability to move energy around even the wise way he avoided
01:11:21.040
questions he's criticized for avoiding questions but he did it wisely like he just moved the conversation
01:11:27.200
to where he would he had a strength all of those things are a plus right now i criticized him and
01:11:33.600
nitpicked him over some of the arguments like not debunking the hoaxes well enough and that's still a
01:11:39.280
criticism but he also didn't get into any of the weeds much so if you allow that he's not a weed
01:11:46.720
getter into guy he's got a strategy that works in debates he employed his strategy that works in
01:11:52.320
debates which is not getting into too many details staying at the high level and also even his critics
01:11:58.160
are saying he did a great job of bringing everything back to immigration and he did
01:12:03.600
it if you remember one thing it's something about immigration which plays to his strength i barely
01:12:11.360
remember any of the other topics except that golf thing which i'm not going to talk about because
01:12:16.000
yeah that was just fun but you all remember when he said after uh early on when uh biden mumbled
01:12:24.480
and trump let this go he said i really don't know what he said at the end of the sentence
01:12:30.320
i don't think he knows what he said either i'm going to turn the board around and tell you why
01:12:37.520
if you didn't realize it was more than just funny because maybe your reaction was oh that's funny
01:12:43.360
it's just like good joke and maybe you thought that's all it was oh god no
01:12:48.160
this is something that only trump can do watch this
01:13:03.280
look at look at much technique he packed into this number one he said it quickly and it was funny and it
01:13:12.480
was clever what were they both trying to prove that night they were trying to prove that biden had
01:13:19.280
mental acuity the moment he showed he didn't trump not only called him out which would have been fine
01:13:27.200
not only called him out for his lack of mental acuity but he demonstrated his own quick wit contrast
01:13:34.240
is your number one you know well it's in the top five uh persuasion techniques so he created an
01:13:41.280
instant contrast which he proved to the world he's a fast thinker and a productive fast thinker
01:13:48.480
because not only was he fast but he came up with the perfect spontaneous spontaneous
01:13:56.800
ad-libbed perfect persuasion it's the only thing i remembered besides the golf talk because it was funny
01:14:03.760
it's all i remembered and you wait a few days after the debate and you say to yourself what do you
01:14:08.560
remember you remember you remember that now it also had the effect of being the silent assassin
01:14:18.240
you want trump because he's strong you want trump if you want trump you want him because he can take
01:14:24.240
down his enemies without much effort you want a guy who can make a kill shot and of low energy jeb
01:14:30.720
you want somebody who can change the world with a sentence
01:14:33.600
he was a silent assassin he didn't make a big deal about it he didn't he didn't put on a show
01:14:42.560
he just gave the face when he was listening to him like the quizzical face your dog makes when you're
01:14:46.880
talking to your dog and dog turns aside i don't even know what that word those words are so first he gives
01:14:52.880
you the visual where he's he's obviously straining to even understand what biden is saying so that's good
01:15:00.560
but when he when he sticks the shiv in it's just such a strong silent assassin he didn't make a lot of
01:15:08.320
noise about it he just knew it was the kill shot and so he didn't have to yell about it he just said
01:15:15.200
all right here's the shiv put this right up to your ribs there now i'm gonna i'm gonna be pressing this
01:15:20.880
in really hard while you're all watching there we go there we go there we go now we've penetrated
01:15:25.840
the heart and now i'd like to tell you some things i'll do as president it was masterful
01:15:32.400
right the next thing he did was he found a sentence or two that summarized the entire election
01:15:41.920
the entire election is about the cognitive you know value of one person versus the other
01:15:47.280
and he managed to summarize the entire campaign with this sentence we'll never forget two sentences
01:15:55.520
i forgot it's on the other side of my whiteboard but i didn't forget the sentence the other thing he did
01:16:01.920
is with that one reframe he reframed biden as a child or as somebody who needs extra help
01:16:08.800
because he didn't yell at him and the way he talked to them is a way you would only talk to a child
01:16:18.640
if somebody had mental problems and said something you didn't understand would you ever look him right
01:16:23.680
in the face while you're standing there and say i didn't understand that and i don't think you did
01:16:28.480
either no would you say it to an adult no would you say it to a child yeah you would if a three-year-old
01:16:41.280
said blah blah blah blah blah blah you know and it was like half language and have not you might
01:16:47.440
you might say to a child i don't know what you just said there but i don't think you know either
01:16:51.840
you see what i mean you would only say that to a child there's no other circumstance and so he
01:16:58.720
reframes biden as someone that you can talk right to as if he doesn't even understand what you're saying
01:17:06.320
while you're saying it the reframe there was subtle but freaking brilliant just the way that if he if
01:17:13.680
he'd gone strong it would look like two adults so in other words if he said well there it is there
01:17:21.040
that's exactly what i've been telling you people i make sense he doesn't make sense he just proved
01:17:26.240
it that would be two adults talking he didn't do that he treated him like he was a child
01:17:33.280
and you can just dismissively talk about him right in front of him brilliant
01:17:39.280
but here's the big one there are a couple other things but the most the strongest part is i've taught
01:17:45.760
i've taught my local subscribers this trick it it is so powerful as a persuasion it's when you
01:17:52.720
pay somebody which is you match their thinking you either match what they're doing or or what they're
01:17:59.440
thinking or saying so there's different ways to pay some it basically makes you like the person
01:18:04.240
you're trying to persuade oh yeah i'm like you whatever you're doing i'm doing too and then the
01:18:08.720
next thing you say you're more persuasive because they say well you like me so i'll listen to you
01:18:12.960
as soon as biden started mumbling what were you thinking at home you were thinking at exactly the
01:18:21.360
time that trump said it you were thinking exactly what he said that is the most persuasive thing you
01:18:29.680
can do when somebody's in the room if you can pick out what somebody's thinking at the moment
01:18:35.520
they're thinking it and it's a non-standard thought all right has to be non-standard a standard thought
01:18:42.080
would be wow it's hot today okay you don't get any credit for that because everybody knows it's
01:18:47.600
hot it's an ordinary thing i sure am hungry no no even if the other person's hungry too nothing right
01:18:54.640
those are ordinary thoughts but this was an extraordinary situation a debate and a very
01:19:00.560
unordinary situation where one of the people said something that didn't make sense to anybody
01:19:05.520
so trump gets in all of our heads that democrats and republicans and that as you're thinking it
01:19:13.840
it comes out of his mouth oh my god you were thinking i don't know what that meant
01:19:21.360
you are also thinking i don't know if he knows what that meant
01:19:25.680
he said exactly what you were thinking exactly when you thought it now even if you if you take
01:19:34.320
the timing out it doesn't work if he had said it the day after you know i don't know if you heard him
01:19:40.080
but i don't know what he said and i don't think you know either no effect no effect well a little bit
01:19:46.560
it would be a little bit of pacing but you would lose the immediacy if you can do it at the moment
01:19:52.080
somebody's thinking it and by the way i teach i teach this technique this is a real powerful
01:19:57.440
persuasion technique um and he nailed it now imagine doing that spontaneously and instantly
01:20:05.520
and having that much right but it's better it keeps going it was funny because it was funny and he
01:20:12.560
knew it would be funny humor makes you repeat it in your head when you hear something that's funny and
01:20:19.920
it's clever your head repeats it the repetition is what makes something become more important in
01:20:26.240
your mind you can't not repeat it it's why rhymes work you repeat rhymes in your head so that's why they
01:20:32.640
get sticky so humor is repetition repetition forms memory and as dr carmen simon teaches us memory
01:20:43.120
is basically what's going to drive your actions and your opinions so humor is repetition repetition makes
01:20:52.000
memories memories is persuasion and i also tell you that uh visual persuasion is the most powerful
01:21:01.760
and you'd say well this isn't really visual it's just something he said except that we were looking at
01:21:07.840
biden's face biden's face biden's face was the visual of the night the only visual that anybody talked
01:21:15.200
about is how bad his face looked so when you match that you're already thinking what is wrong with biden's
01:21:20.880
face with the fact that he's saying sketchy stuff you get the visual for free now i don't know that that
01:21:28.720
was so planned but it but it was there it was also a surprise because you don't expect somebody to
01:21:36.560
say something in a presidential debate that's quite that clever and biting and right in your face
01:21:44.800
and so you might you might say well it's not that big a surprise because it's trump
01:21:49.200
but even for trump it came you know maybe came out of nowhere so surprise also gets your attention
01:21:56.560
attention is memory memory is persuasion and i would also argue that in a in a subtle way
01:22:03.280
uh biden's obvious dementia is scary now it's scary in a general way which is uh-oh who's running
01:22:12.720
the country um so you got the fear you got an indirect visual you got him thinking what what you're
01:22:21.120
thinking and saying it as you're thinking it he's reframed him as a child he summarized the entire
01:22:25.840
election he's a silent assassin he showed contrast by being quick-witted
01:22:33.760
it was amazing he did that spontaneously so you know when i had a chance to talk to him about
01:22:42.000
persuasion uh in the oval office in 2018 i actually asked him you know have you studied persuasion or is
01:22:50.480
this natural and he told me it was natural that you know you made no special effort to study it it's
01:22:56.640
just a lifetime of picking up tips i guess and uh that was that was the best example you're ever
01:23:02.720
going to see and so that ladies and gentlemen is my show for the day and uh i might do some more
01:23:10.240
persuasion whiteboards as we get closer to the election i think they're they're value added because
01:23:16.720
you can pick up a little tricks you can use for yourself and also you can watch for them so i'm
01:23:22.320
going to say uh bye to uh youtube and rumble and x thanks for joining you spend some time with my
01:23:29.120
