Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2524 CWSA 07⧸02⧸24

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:02.900 Bum-bum-bum. 0.82

00:00:05.440 Rumpa-bum-bum.

00:00:09.040 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:12.880 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:15.120 Good morning, everybody, and welcome

00:00:18.000 to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:21.580 You're looking at the picture of orange Joe Biden

00:00:24.500 as posted on Truth Social by Trump himself

00:00:28.860 with no comment.

00:00:30.580 The funniest part about this is that Trump published it

00:00:34.420 without any comment because you don't need any.

00:00:37.260 It's just Biden looking orange.

00:00:42.540 Does Trump know how to do a victory lap

00:00:44.880 or does he know how to do a victory lap?

00:00:47.480 The fact that he didn't put any words on it,

00:00:49.960 he just published it, it's just brilliant.

00:00:54.160 I mean, it's trolling at the highest level.

00:00:56.760 Well, more about me.

00:01:03.320 If you'd like to take this experience

00:01:07.360 up to levels that nobody can even understand

00:01:10.500 with their tiny, smooth human brains,

00:01:12.580 all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass

00:01:14.320 of tankard chalice or stein,

00:01:16.160 canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:01:18.740 fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:19.660 And I like coffee.

00:01:21.180 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:01:23.120 that dopamine hit in the day.

00:01:24.740 The thing makes everything better.

00:01:26.720 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:28.800 It happens now.

00:01:29.620 Go.

00:01:29.860 Ah, so good.

00:01:36.720 My goodness, the day is starting off right.

00:01:41.560 Well, that assumes that my notes look good.

00:01:43.720 And they do.

00:01:44.820 They do.

00:01:46.100 Well, if you're subscribing to the Dilbert comic,

00:01:50.020 you might be seeing,

00:01:51.260 and you can only see that in X if you subscribe,

00:01:53.700 or on the scottadams.locals.com network.

00:01:58.580 If you were watching it there,

00:01:59.660 you would know that today is the naughtiest

00:02:02.800 Dilbert comic of all time.

00:02:06.120 Now, I've been naughty a little bit a few times.

00:02:09.700 But today is the naughtiest comic I've ever created.

00:02:15.160 But it comes with an explainer.

00:02:17.820 So you're going to learn something today.

00:02:19.960 I'll just give you a teaser.

00:02:21.180 Have you heard, if you follow AI at all,

00:02:25.980 you know that there's a special kind of data file

00:02:29.480 that's optimized for AI.

00:02:33.560 So if you wanted your AI to look at a specific file

00:02:36.580 that you made to give you answers,

00:02:39.540 that would sometimes be called a RAG, R-A-G.

00:02:44.160 Now, that stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation. 0.97

00:02:48.520 If you didn't know that,

00:02:51.740 the Dilbert comic wouldn't be funny at all.

00:02:54.560 But if you did know that,

00:02:56.860 you would see Dilbert's boss telling Dilbert,

00:03:00.980 hey, I'd like to use my AI to access my DNA data.

00:03:07.420 And so Dilbert gives him the following advice.

00:03:10.280 Put your DNA in a rag.

00:03:15.640 Well, I'm not going to tell you how it ends.

00:03:20.340 But it's the naughtiest Dilbert comic of all time.

00:03:24.420 It's not that naughty.

00:03:25.700 PG-13.

00:03:27.860 All right, ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:31.200 We got the show of shows today.

00:03:33.160 It might be a highlight of your life, actually.

00:03:35.340 I don't know if you've ever had more fun

00:03:36.800 than what you're going to have today.

00:03:38.000 Let's start with ARK Investment.

00:03:42.800 That's a big and...

00:03:45.080 I think they're venture capitalists.

00:03:47.600 Venture capitalists?

00:03:48.560 No.

00:03:49.380 ARK Investment.

00:03:50.560 Anyway, some big financial group.

00:03:53.040 Says that cost of robots are already falling like crazy.

00:03:56.640 And here's a point in history that's pretty important.

00:04:02.480 This kind of blew me away.

00:04:04.240 I think it might blow you away.

00:04:05.840 Yeah, Kathy Woods is the head of that. 0.68

00:04:10.020 But this comment came from somebody else at ARK.

00:04:12.940 That Amazon is now adding more robots than human employees.

00:04:18.280 Amazon is adding more robots than humans.

00:04:24.080 Right now.

00:04:26.420 Right now.

00:04:27.900 That's happening.

00:04:28.680 So, if you're wondering, hey, I wonder if there'll ever be some kind of a crossover.

00:04:34.220 Yep.

00:04:35.100 Yep.

00:04:35.500 Happening right now.

00:04:37.960 And I do not give financial advice, but I'd like to sort of draw a picture of what financial advice would look like in the modern world.

00:04:47.820 Some people say that almost all of the gains in the stock market are the top five big companies, and especially NVIDIA and Microsoft and Google and Apple, companies that are going to benefit from AI or robotics.

00:05:04.500 And I'm not going to give you financial advice.

00:05:09.400 I'll just tell you what I'm doing, and then you can make your own decisions.

00:05:13.860 So, the way you should look at it is, don't do what I'm doing.

00:05:17.620 Please, please do not do what I'm doing.

00:05:19.740 But, look at my explanation of why I'm doing it, and then compare it to what you're doing.

00:05:25.960 Maybe talk to a professional.

00:05:28.200 You know, get your own independent advice.

00:05:31.020 One of the things that I've invested in is Tesla, and it's not so much because of the cars.

00:05:37.380 It's because it's going to be a robot company really quickly.

00:05:42.060 I'm guessing Tesla would be better at manufacturing than other people, because they're good at it, and Elon especially.

00:05:49.740 And building the things efficiently seems like that's going to be the big challenge, because the technological stuff is largely down to just engineering.

00:05:59.140 But I think there's a bigger play here that you haven't noticed, maybe.

00:06:05.000 Don't you think that your personal robot and your personal automobile need to work together?

00:06:13.320 Think about it. 0.96

00:06:14.400 Don't you want your robot to get into your Tesla and drive your ass around and, you know, have the robot brain and the car basically meld, you know, and become one? 0.67

00:06:26.760 I feel as though there are going to be a whole bunch of situations in which having your robot and your car made by the same company are going to give you some advantage. 0.54

00:06:36.800 I don't know what that would be, but it's one of the things I'm looking at.

00:06:39.860 Anyway, so my investment in Tesla is entirely because of the upcoming robots.

00:06:45.620 And it made me wonder, is there a index fund yet for those people who don't want to pick specific companies, because that's always a little more dangerous, for AI and robotics?

00:06:55.560 And there are.

00:06:56.300 Now, again, I'm not recommending these.

00:06:58.820 This is not a recommendation.

00:07:00.040 I'm simply telling you that if you're investing in the future, you need to at least have a theory about AI and robots.

00:07:09.580 That would be the number one thing you should be aware of and have your own theory about what's going to happen.

00:07:17.040 But there's a, I'm going to name four different index funds.

00:07:22.280 Which index fund would be a collection of stocks that are all in some specific area.

00:07:27.260 So, there's two of them that are in the AI and robotics domain.

00:07:31.860 And again, I don't know that they're good.

00:07:33.980 I'm just saying that if you want to invest in a basket of stocks in AI and robotics, there's something called IRBO.

00:07:42.980 Don't know anything about them.

00:07:44.340 Just got this from ChatGPT today.

00:07:46.520 There's one called BOTS, B as in boy, O-T-Z. 0.94

00:07:51.160 And then I looked at the nuclear energy industry.

00:07:54.440 I wanted two index funds that have a variety of nuclear energy things, because that's going to be big.

00:08:02.680 NLR.

00:08:03.960 They do N as in neighbor, LR.

00:08:07.600 Uranium and nuclear stuff.

00:08:09.420 Mostly, I think more uranium than other nuclear stuff, but it's a good broad basket.

00:08:16.580 And another one in the same domain would be URA.

00:08:21.280 So, do what I did.

00:08:23.040 You could ask AI or Google it, I guess.

00:08:27.440 You know, what are some index funds in nuclear power and also in AI and robotics?

00:08:33.400 And then just do your own research, right?

00:08:35.420 Talk to a professional.

00:08:38.120 There's a new study that identifies the ideal number of sexual partners according to social norms.

00:08:44.580 So, this is not based on science.

00:08:46.900 It's based on what other people think would be appropriate.

00:08:50.620 Now, I think they peg this at sort of an age 25.

00:08:54.140 Theoretically, if you were single for your entire life and you were sexually active, you probably have a bigger number.

00:09:02.960 But if you look at somebody who's looking to settle down someday and at age 25, what's their number?

00:09:08.480 The ideal number, according to research, for men would be four to five sexual partners.

00:09:17.400 And for women, two to three because we're a sexist place. 1.00

00:09:22.300 I guess people want somebody who is desirable enough that other people want to have them.

00:09:27.940 And maybe they got a little bit of experience so they know what they're doing, but not too much.

00:09:33.020 Now, I'd like to offer that they could have skipped this entire research and just ask me.

00:09:40.420 Because if they asked me, I would have said, I don't know, age 25?

00:09:45.900 I'd say, well, from the perspective of other people, for men to be about four or five, and from the perspective of other people, you know, not my opinion specifically, probably women as few as possible. 0.98

00:10:01.480 But maybe more than one.

00:10:03.520 So, two or three.

00:10:05.100 So, I think I could have saved them a lot of time by just ask me.

00:10:08.780 I think that one was kind of obvious.

00:10:13.020 Kind of obvious.

00:10:16.640 All right.

00:10:17.220 We'll get to all the political stuff here.

00:10:20.460 Business Insider says there might be a deflationary spiral in cars.

00:10:24.700 People are delaying purchases.

00:10:27.740 So, if they're not buying as many cars, the price might come down because of supply and demand.

00:10:32.340 But I don't know how many people are in my situation.

00:10:35.360 I'm sort of at that point where I'm looking at a new car, and I talk about it all the time because it's been over a year I've been doing it.

00:10:42.940 I can't make a move.

00:10:44.540 I'm frozen.

00:10:46.140 And the reason is, I think electric cars of the future, I think a Tesla would be a solid thing to own.

00:10:53.860 I told you I invested some money in the company.

00:10:58.560 But I don't like how they look.

00:11:00.800 I can't get past it.

00:11:02.980 Anybody else have the same problem?

00:11:05.200 Like, you know your next car probably ought to be an electric.

00:11:11.140 But they all look the same.

00:11:13.620 They don't look bad.

00:11:14.500 But when I look at a, let's say, a Ford Bronco, my whole mind and body go, there's just a design thing that just speaks to me, like, emotionally.

00:11:30.160 And I can't look at the Bronco and then spend some large amount of money on something that looks like an egg.

00:11:36.840 I don't know how to do that.

00:11:39.580 Again, I'm very pro-Tesla.

00:11:41.740 But their cars, you know, and I have to say, from the perspective of a business decision, having all the Teslas have a certain design, you know, that's not too sexy but a little bit, it's probably exactly the right sweet spot for business.

00:12:00.600 It's just, I need a little sexier or something.

00:12:04.720 So I'm just sort of stuck.

00:12:10.120 Apparently, the number of criminals entering the U.S. illegally set a new record.

00:12:17.060 But we're talking about criminals, not just illegal aliens.

00:12:22.740 So over, let's see, about 1,500 illegal aliens who are also criminals have been arrested.

00:12:34.720 If the trend continues, the record level of more than 17,000 criminals will have been caught crossing the border illegally.

00:12:47.140 17,000 criminals have been caught trying to enter the country.

00:12:53.540 And that's not just criminal because they're coming in the country. 1.00

00:12:56.280 That's criminal.

00:12:57.200 These are people who have been caught.

00:13:00.320 Now, as you know, most crime is by people who have done some other crime.

00:13:05.840 Am I right?

00:13:07.180 You know, you have a small number of people who do basically 95% of the crime because they keep doing crimes.

00:13:12.660 If you brought in 17,000 criminals and you take the theory that criminals keep doing crimes, how many actual crimes is that?

00:13:25.280 100,000?

00:13:27.080 And 17,000 is just the number of criminals who are caught.

00:13:30.840 What about the ones who got in without getting caught?

00:13:35.020 I don't know how big that number is.

00:13:37.060 But are we talking about 100,000 crimes per year that we just let into the country knowingly?

00:13:45.520 Over five years?

00:13:47.220 Is that half a million crimes?

00:13:50.660 Has anybody calculated the number of crimes this is going to work out to?

00:13:55.340 Because I don't know how you could take a half a million crimes over five years and assume none of that's going to touch you.

00:14:02.800 If I said there's going to be a half a million things happening to people in the next five years, would you think that half a million wouldn't hit your neighborhood or somebody you know?

00:14:12.980 I mean, that's getting really personal.

00:14:15.140 It's really hard to imagine that immigration is somebody else's problem, isn't it? 0.94

00:14:19.840 I think we've crossed the point where it's very clearly, no matter where you are, it's your frickin' problem.

00:14:28.380 So yeah, these are big, scary numbers.

00:14:30.820 Here's a story that sounds familiar, except it's a different topic.

00:14:34.900 See if you can find the pattern.

00:14:37.260 Before I tell you the pattern, let's see if you can spot it.

00:14:39.600 There's some suggestion that the Alzheimer's research, which has been going on for 30 years, for reasons that weren't obvious before, didn't have nearly as much progress as other areas of medicine.

00:14:55.320 For example, in 30 years, there's been really big progress in cardiovascular disease and cancers and all kinds of other diseases.

00:15:03.480 But not so much Alzheimer's.

00:15:07.360 Anybody want to take a guess why the Alzheimer's has had less progress?

00:15:14.080 Well, see if this sounds familiar.

00:15:17.700 Every time a scientist wanted to study something that wasn't the approved narrative of how Alzheimer's is caused, they couldn't get published.

00:15:28.060 Do you know why?

00:15:29.300 Because they were outside the narrative.

00:15:32.440 Yep.

00:15:34.140 Sound familiar?

00:15:36.460 So think about that.

00:15:39.840 So that they couldn't even get published, and people would say, I can't publish you because other people wouldn't publish you or haven't published you or you're not part of the narrative, basically.

00:15:49.840 You're too outside the norm.

00:15:51.420 Now, how many times has this happened in science where science collectively had the wrong answer and couldn't adjust because people couldn't leave the norm?

00:16:04.480 There was the food pyramid when I was a kid.

00:16:08.440 Scientists all said, that's the truth.

00:16:10.700 But it wasn't.

00:16:11.820 It was closer to the opposite of the truth.

00:16:14.240 There was a number of issues in the pandemic in which we saw the experts telling us something that wasn't true fairly often.

00:16:24.360 There were several things which the experts told us with complete impunity and unanimity or something like it, and it just wasn't true.

00:16:33.740 Then we see the Alzheimer's research may have been crippled for 30 years because science doesn't know how to deal with people who are outside the narrative.

00:16:45.280 You could argue that the same thing has happened with climate change, that you can't argue outside the narrative.

00:16:53.280 So if there is a truth that's outside the narrative, we would be blind to it.

00:16:59.280 Likewise, string theory might turn out to be exactly the thing that unravels the nature of the universe.

00:17:06.220 It might, but it doesn't look like it.

00:17:08.480 And I would imagine if the narrative is string theory is the thing, what about the people who don't think it's the thing?

00:17:16.940 Do you think they're getting lots of play?

00:17:19.160 Do you think their papers are getting published?

00:17:21.440 Do you think they're getting a lot of funding?

00:17:23.060 I don't know.

00:17:24.220 But my concern would be that we've reached a point where it's normal that most of the scientists will be wrong.

00:17:34.220 That's weird.

00:17:35.780 Because isn't that opposite of your intuition?

00:17:38.480 The science is, you know, slowly crawling toward the truth.

00:17:42.140 And if you've got 97% of the scientists on one side, for example, you can feel confident.

00:17:48.760 Now it's feeling closer to the opposite.

00:17:51.680 Because 97% agreeing on anything scientific triggers my pattern recognition.

00:17:59.660 Oh, wait.

00:18:00.600 If that many people are on the same side, that's an indication that there's no science going on.

00:18:07.020 Right?

00:18:07.280 If you tell me scientists agree 80-20, I'm going to say, hmm, that sounds like they've got a pretty good handle on it.

00:18:16.140 But you've got a good solid 20% who are maybe looking in a different direction, and maybe they'll find something.

00:18:22.240 But 80% would be pretty convincing.

00:18:24.440 You know what's not convincing?

00:18:28.040 97%.

00:18:28.560 Do you know why?

00:18:29.580 Because that suggests there's no science going on.

00:18:34.940 Look for that pattern.

00:18:37.200 80% in one direction, maybe that's science.

00:18:40.640 97% in the same direction means they're afraid to talk.

00:18:44.440 There's an analogy to that in the Dilbert comic world.

00:18:51.000 It used to be said that if you went into a company and you saw a lot of Dilbert comics on the cubicle walls,

00:18:57.000 that that was a sign that the company might have some issues,

00:19:00.660 because the employees are kind of silently protesting by putting up anti-management Dilbert comics.

00:19:06.600 But then somebody noticed that there are some companies that have zero Dilbert comics.

00:19:12.320 Are they the good ones?

00:19:15.060 Probably not.

00:19:17.320 If your employees are simply not able to even put a mildly, you know, mildly disagreeable comic on their cubicle wall,

00:19:26.680 that's probably a terrible place to work.

00:19:28.660 That means that dissent is not tolerated.

00:19:30.720 Even a little bit of humorous dissent, not tolerated.

00:19:34.660 So when you see something as extreme as 97% of scientists,

00:19:39.200 it could be because something's so true that nobody could argue with it.

00:19:42.680 But it is a big red flag that no science is happening if it's something more controversial.

00:20:06.340 Rasmussen did a poll, Breitbart News is reporting this,

00:20:09.740 where nearly half of Americans believe corporate diversity programs discriminate against white men. 1.00

00:20:16.120 You fucking idiots. 1.00

00:20:18.820 Half of the country, are you kidding me? 1.00

00:20:21.140 Half of the fucking country doesn't know that DEI, by its design, discriminates against white men. 1.00

00:20:27.280 What the hell is wrong with you? 1.00

00:20:29.120 Are you lying? 1.00

00:20:31.180 Half the fucking people in the country don't know that DEI is straight out discrimination against white men? 1.00

00:20:37.140 How the fuck don't you know that by now? 1.00

00:20:40.680 Right? 1.00

00:20:40.940 You're an idiot if you don't know that, or you're lying. 1.00

00:20:45.880 I mean, this is not a matter of opinion in 2024, to imagine that that's an opinion. 1.00

00:20:52.380 Good lord.

00:20:55.160 Well, if it were true that corporate diversity is discriminating against white men, you'd expect that that would cause some kind of a quality degradation in the output, not because white men have all the skills. 0.60

00:21:09.300 No, but because if you artificially constrain any group which you need a resource from, the artificial constraint should very soon work its way into the overall workings of the system.

00:21:24.240 So we should be able to see it in actual reality.

00:21:29.020 If there's any real degradation in quality from it, we'd be able to see it.

00:21:35.140 Which brings us to the Supreme Court.

00:21:37.620 Let me just say what many of you are thinking. 1.00

00:21:39.800 The problem with some of the, well, most of the rulings from the Supreme Court is that the batshit crazy women on the Supreme Court got all the wrong shit because they're fucking stupid. 1.00

00:21:53.360 Why are they on the court? 1.00

00:21:54.580 Why is Sotomayor on the court?

00:21:56.560 Obviously, it's not because she's smart.

00:21:58.520 Like, I'm not even a Supreme Court justice. 1.00

00:22:01.940 Even I can tell she's a fucking idiot. 1.00

00:22:04.000 Now, there's no way that she's on the court because of her high quality of decisions. 1.00

00:22:08.760 I mean, you just have to look at it. 1.00

00:22:11.420 It's just stupid from top to bottom. 1.00

00:22:14.140 Now, you shouldn't have Supreme Court justices who are obviously stupid. 1.00

00:22:18.960 This is just another Joe Biden problem that we're all ignoring. 1.00

00:22:22.380 Oh, let's pretend Joe Biden is fine until it's too fucking late, like now. 0.58

00:22:28.220 Same thing with the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:22:29.840 You've got a fucking idiot on there just because of some DEI-ish requirement, and I'm supposed to ignore that. 1.00

00:22:37.100 It's like the last defense of the whole fucking country, and I'm supposed to ignore that you're putting idiots on it because they need some category. 1.00

00:22:46.140 No, I'm not going to ignore that anymore. 1.00

00:22:48.200 It's a DEI problem with the Supreme Court.

00:22:51.360 That's it. 1.00

00:22:52.480 That's the whole fucking problem. 0.99

00:22:53.820 Now, of course, there's politics. 1.00

00:22:57.600 People do take their sides.

00:22:59.220 But I don't mind when people take sides with good arguments.

00:23:03.440 You know, if there's a good argument on both sides, and people tend to lean toward their political bias, let's say that's kind of normal. 0.99

00:23:12.640 But just to be stupid, just so you can side with your side, that's not cool. 0.99

00:23:19.040 And let's look at Biden. 1.00

00:23:24.320 Do you think that Biden is in the situation he is with the advice he has for any other reason than DEI?

00:23:35.140 To me, this is just a massive DEI problem, that he's getting bad advice, people want to keep their jobs, whatever it is.

00:23:42.680 He's not, let's put it this way, Biden is not getting David Axelrod quality advice.

00:23:50.540 Now, I'm not saying because David Axelrod is an old white guy.

00:23:53.620 That's not why his advice is good.

00:23:55.580 His advice is good because I've been watching him for decades, and he gives good advice.

00:24:01.500 That's why his advice is good.

00:24:04.760 But I think the smart people have been frozen out by the DEI hires.

00:24:08.900 And that's the whole story of why Biden's situation is what it is.

00:24:12.680 And then why is the news, why are they unable to report on the obvious?

00:24:18.700 Because of DEI.

00:24:20.340 The DEI in the news is crippling the news business, plus other stuff, plus other stuff.

00:24:26.340 But DEI is totally crippling the news business so that they can't even tell us what the truth is.

00:24:32.380 So yes, DEI has destroyed everything that's important about America, and it's really obvious.

00:24:38.960 It's really obvious.

00:24:39.800 Now, I'm not going to say it's the whole problem, because when I get double canceled for saying this sometime tomorrow, the part that they're going to leave out is it's not the only problem.

00:24:53.100 But I think it's a definitive problem that tipped us into the ridiculous, right? 0.93

00:25:00.120 There's plenty of incompetence of, you know, old white guys have lots of problems, right? 1.00

00:25:05.060 It's not like old white guys don't have a shit ton of problems and their own defects. 1.00

00:25:11.060 I'm just saying that what we're seeing is exactly what you would expect with DEI as a system. 0.95

00:25:17.200 It has nothing to do with the people.

00:25:18.700 Well, if you're new to me, it only has to do with a system design in which you artificially constrain one of the important variables.

00:25:28.620 That's it.

00:25:29.440 That's the whole argument.

00:25:32.380 All right.

00:25:32.880 New York Times, according to Michael Schellenberger, I think he said the Times with a capital T.

00:25:38.260 I think that means the New York Times in this context.

00:25:40.340 He thinks that DEI is what's going to take down Biden.

00:25:48.380 Yeah.

00:25:49.040 So you thought I was a little bit out on the limb, didn't you?

00:25:52.380 You're thinking, oh, my goodness, you've stretched that argument a little too far.

00:25:56.540 No, that's what the New York Times is saying about the Biden administration.

00:25:59.860 It's a DEI problem. 0.98

00:26:01.460 And the way they describe it is DEI is what got them a black woman vice president who is incompetent. 0.99

00:26:10.340 They're saying it pretty directly now. 0.98

00:26:13.040 And that once you have an incompetent vice president, but also black and female, you can't pass over her and you can't get rid of her. 1.00

00:26:22.620 So you're stuck with the old white guy with no brain. 1.00

00:26:30.380 That's where we're at. 0.99

00:26:31.800 Now, by the way, that's exactly your impression and my impression.

00:26:35.380 What's interesting is that the New York Times agrees with you that it's a DEI problem.

00:26:40.340 Now, you're seeing it everywhere.

00:26:44.620 You're seeing it everywhere.

00:26:47.660 All right.

00:26:47.920 So also, Michael Schellenberger's post today on X, which was referring to a larger article of his publication.

00:27:01.100 Here, he points out that progressives have condemned Republicans as being on the grip of right-wing authoritarianism.

00:27:17.000 All right.

00:27:17.380 So the progressives have this narrative that the people on the right are a bunch of right-wing authoritarian people, you know, practically Nazis.

00:27:25.760 By contrast, there's a psychologist in 1980 who argued that left-wing authoritarianism was a myth.

00:27:35.160 But that turned out to be wrong.

00:27:36.820 So, as Schellenberger points out, Swiss psychologists recently found an almost exact overlap between dark personality traits and social justice commitment.

00:27:49.640 Do you know what a dark personality trait is?

00:27:53.840 Narcissism would be, you know, part of the dark triad.

00:27:57.380 So, basically, mental illness.

00:28:01.160 And the dark part is that it's not harmless mental illness.

00:28:05.220 It's specifically the kind of mental illness that you try to harm other people for your own benefit. 0.93

00:28:12.120 A narcissist. 0.90

00:28:13.560 There are a few flavors of that, but they're all in that same category of they're just evil. 0.91

00:28:18.800 You know, the evil might be because of mental illness, but they're evil. 0.76

00:28:24.120 And they're going to screw you over as hard as they can and gaslight you in order to get what they want.

00:28:31.740 So, there's a perfect overlap between those mental conditions and social justice commitment. 0.63

00:28:40.900 And they're entitled and narcissistic, et cetera.

00:28:44.320 Now, how could it be that the Democratic Party, the Democrats, became controlled by the dark triad personalities? 0.97

00:28:57.580 Well, most of it is women. 1.00

00:29:02.240 It's concentrated in the women. 1.00

00:29:04.260 Why is it that the mentally insane women have became the dominant part of the Democrats and it's still there? 1.00

00:29:16.900 And, you know, scientists can point it out. 0.97

00:29:19.380 We can all see it.

00:29:20.880 How does that persist?

00:29:23.240 Well, I have a hypothesis. 0.99

00:29:25.800 The reason that the Democrat men can't call bullshit on their own situation is because they're too weak and they're not enough of them. 0.99

00:29:37.900 They're too weak, meaning that if they argue with the women, it's not going to go well, and there aren't enough of them. 1.00

00:29:44.000 Do you know what they need?

00:29:45.760 Do you know what the poor men in the Democratic Party need to escape from their dark triad overlords? 0.95

00:29:53.380 Republicans.

00:29:54.900 Republicans.

00:29:56.300 They need some Republicans.

00:29:58.140 Do you know why there are no Republicans helping them?

00:30:01.780 Because there's no conversation between Republicans and Democrats anymore.

00:30:06.900 So the Democrats have made it impossible to have even a conversation with somebody who is a Republican if you're a Democrat.

00:30:13.920 You can't even have a social interaction. 0.98

00:30:17.500 So the poor Democrat men are completely stranded on the island of crazy women. 1.00

00:30:23.380 They're too weak to get off on their own, to get off the island. 0.95

00:30:28.600 And they don't have help from stronger men and stronger women who are Republican.

00:30:35.140 So they've cut themselves off from any possibility of escape or help or being outvoted, you know, so that they can outvote the bad people.

00:30:43.740 So it's sort of like the prisoners took over the Democrat island and the people who are there are just totally trapped.

00:30:51.100 And they don't have access to information or even allies who could help them out.

00:30:57.040 They've completely separated themselves.

00:30:59.960 That's how I see it. 0.87

00:31:01.160 And specifically, narcissists are gaslighters.

00:31:06.540 You see, and we all see, that the entire Democratic Party is actually just a gaslighting party at this point.

00:31:16.000 At this point, it isn't anything else.

00:31:18.440 Everything that they believe that's important to them is literally made up.

00:31:23.220 So they've gone from, you know, the fine people hoax and the injecting bleach hoax and the losers and suckers hoax to this hoax.

00:31:32.560 And now they're on the he's stealing democracy, the January 6th insurrection hoax. 0.91

00:31:37.940 Every one of these are the same hoax.

00:31:40.520 It's all gaslighting.

00:31:41.500 And they didn't really realize that until the Biden situation happened.

00:31:48.100 And then a lot of Democrats said, wait a minute.

00:31:52.300 You all knew.

00:31:54.740 You all knew.

00:31:56.840 The press knew.

00:31:59.060 Everybody around Biden knew.

00:32:00.940 You all knew the truth.

00:32:03.980 And you told us he was fine.

00:32:05.220 That's where you that's the sort of the the key that unlocks the door.

00:32:12.060 So if you thought, I thought I was in a party with normal people, that's not normal.

00:32:19.020 There's none of that going on on the Republican side.

00:32:22.400 None.

00:32:23.360 And let me be clear. 1.00

00:32:24.800 Republicans are fucked up. 1.00

00:32:27.480 OK, Republicans are really fucked up in a whole bunch of different ways. 1.00

00:32:32.860 You know, they believe conspiracy theories. 1.00

00:32:36.140 They have terrible strategies sometimes.

00:32:40.440 They have they basically ignore their own, you know, benefit for principle in some ways that are crazy to me.

00:32:48.340 But here's what they don't do.

00:32:50.660 There's not a lot of gaslighting going on.

00:32:53.400 When Republicans tell you they think something's true, it's because they think it's true.

00:32:59.060 Sometimes they're wrong.

00:33:00.580 Sometimes they're right.

00:33:01.520 But they think it's true.

00:33:03.600 I don't know if that's what's happening on the other side. 0.95

00:33:07.260 It looks to me like the things that they tell us they believe are so ridiculous they couldn't possibly believe it. 0.88

00:33:13.340 So it looks like gaslighting. 0.86

00:33:15.220 And when they do it to us, it feels like being gaslighted or gas lit.

00:33:19.920 I'm not sure how to say that.

00:33:21.740 But do we have to keep ignoring that there's basically a mental illness gaslighting problem 0.99

00:33:29.760 that we're treating like it's some fucking political thing, and it's not. 0.98

00:33:33.960 We don't have two political parties competing for their preferred political outcomes. 0.97

00:33:39.740 Nothing like that's happening. 1.00

00:33:41.440 We have a bunch of mentally sick fucks who've got control of one political party, 1.00

00:33:46.220 and the people who are going along for the ride don't have the power to get off. 1.00

00:33:50.300 And you got one who thinks it's just in regular politics and doesn't know what the fuck's going on because nothing makes sense. 0.93

00:33:57.700 Everything is just a lie or a gaslight. 0.96

00:33:59.820 These are not normal political differences.

00:34:03.520 This is not even some people don't have the right facts.

00:34:06.320 This is pure, pure gaslighting.

00:34:09.500 This is all new.

00:34:11.480 You know, it's always been that politics involved lying.

00:34:15.540 This is not lying.

00:34:17.720 Gaslighting is not lying.

00:34:19.520 If I teach you one thing, this is important.

00:34:22.680 Lying is normal. 1.00

00:34:24.560 Republicans lie.

00:34:25.840 Independents lie. 1.00

00:34:27.020 Democrats lie.

00:34:27.860 Completely normal.

00:34:28.660 Don't pass the fact check.

00:34:32.200 Totally normal.

00:34:34.120 But telling you something that you saw with your own eyes didn't happen, that's new.

00:34:41.080 It happened with the fine people hoax.

00:34:43.440 It happens with most of them, right?

00:34:45.340 This is new. 0.94

00:34:47.800 And it gives you mental illness when it happens to you. 1.00

00:34:51.580 And narcissists can make you mentally ill. 0.99

00:34:54.200 Literally. 0.97

00:34:54.940 That's the main thing they do. 0.99

00:34:56.080 Narcissists make you mentally ill. 0.98

00:34:59.460 So the whole country is getting this infection of mental illness from a fairly small group of dark triad personality narcissists who got way too much power. 0.99

00:35:09.200 That's what's really happening.

00:35:12.080 It's definitely not two political parties. 0.97

00:35:15.120 It's batshit crazy women who managed to take control of one party. 1.00

00:35:19.520 And here we are. 0.99

00:35:20.080 That's what we're talking about.

00:35:21.080 That's what we're talking about.

00:35:22.080 That's what we're talking about.

00:35:23.080 That's what we're talking about.

00:35:24.080 That's what we're talking about.

00:35:25.080 Sertovich says, Trump has spent over $100 million fighting false charges, not including the judgments he has to pay from the cases themselves.

00:35:37.440 Bannon's in prison, Navarro is jailed, and freedom isn't free, and we are occupied by communists.

00:35:42.960 That's one way to frame it, but I think it misses the bigger story.

00:35:50.960 I think we're occupied by Marxists who are pretending to be Marxists, but are actually narcissists.

00:35:58.720 I think narcissists found a way to rebrand themselves to make themselves part of the political process.

00:36:03.900 No, I don't have a dark triad personality.

00:36:08.460 I'm more of a socialist Marxist.

00:36:13.340 So they found a place to hide, but I don't like them hiding there.

00:36:18.760 So I don't want to call them communists or Marxists when mental illness is clearly the larger variable.

00:37:24.700 Meanwhile, CNN's got an interesting situation.

00:37:29.200 Some of you laughed when I said, don't be surprised if Jake Tapper goes hard at Biden for his mental and cognitive abilities.

00:37:38.740 Now, it did not happen during the debate, which is the context I was talking about.

00:37:43.660 So my prediction that Jake Tapper might go hard at Biden wasn't true.

00:37:50.740 Got that wrong.

00:37:52.360 And indeed, I think most people, including me, complimented Tapper and Bash for a good, good job hosting a debate.

00:38:03.280 However, having done a very professional job in the debate, then they go back to the regular jobs and, you know, it's more, a little bit more opinion comes out.

00:38:15.480 As it should.

00:38:16.520 That would be natural.

00:38:18.220 And I've noticed that Jake Tapper is going really hard at Biden's brain.

00:38:23.740 Now, that was the part I did predict.

00:38:25.400 I predicted that Jake wouldn't be able to ignore it anymore and he would just take Biden out.

00:38:31.000 And he is.

00:38:31.960 So he had on the show Chris Coons and he basically just called Coons a liar to his face.

00:38:40.980 Thank you.

00:38:42.400 Because Chris Coons is a liar on this topic, which is weird because I actually respect him as a Democrat.

00:38:48.820 Who, in my opinion, has far more often been one of the reasonable ones. 0.98

00:38:54.860 He's not one of the crazy liars.

00:38:56.600 He's not a Schiff, a Swalwell. 1.00

00:38:58.860 You know, usually when he comes out, it's because they have a real argument.

00:39:02.580 But not this time.

00:39:03.800 This time, Chris Coons went to the dark side and he's pretending on TV right in front of Jake Tapper that he has no problem with these little glitches that Biden's having.

00:39:14.660 Now, that's a lie.

00:39:16.320 It's a transparent lie.

00:39:17.540 And I revised, because of it, I revised my opinion of Chris Coons.

00:39:23.420 I used to think he was actually, he's one of the, he would have been in the top three Democrats I would have ever mentioned.

00:39:30.180 As you know, you got some reasonable ones over there.

00:39:32.980 They disagree with me, maybe on policy, but reasonable people.

00:39:37.360 Nope.

00:39:38.000 No, he's not being a reasonable person. 1.00

00:39:39.800 He's being a fucking asshole. 1.00

00:39:41.400 Because if you can sit in front of the American people and lie to our faces and gaslight us like that. 1.00

00:39:46.400 Now, I don't think he's a narcissist, but I think he's under the thrall of them.

00:39:50.660 He's got to do their bidding.

00:39:51.780 So, he's spreading their gaslighting.

00:39:54.180 This is gaslighting.

00:39:55.660 This is not lying.

00:39:57.460 You have to know the difference.

00:39:58.780 When Jake Tapper shows him a video of Biden glitching, and then he gets that weird smile, Chris Coons, a real smile.

00:40:10.260 I don't see any problem with it.

00:40:12.380 Look at my weird smile.

00:40:13.540 My eyes are practically closed.

00:40:15.380 My face can't even control the lie.

00:40:18.120 I can't even control my face while I'm lying.

00:40:20.000 It was painful to watch.

00:40:23.160 When he lies in front of you, obviously, that's not lying.

00:40:27.180 That's something else.

00:40:29.020 And it's dangerous, whatever that is.

00:40:33.100 So, to Jake Tapper's credit, he hammered him pretty hard.

00:40:38.720 And he said to his face, it is not honest.

00:40:43.420 Good job, Jake.

00:40:44.580 That is what I, as a viewer, wanted to see.

00:40:49.420 I wanted you to look at his face while he sat next to you.

00:40:52.060 He wasn't even on video.

00:40:53.640 Sitting right next to him.

00:40:55.140 Looked right at him and said, that's not honest.

00:40:57.900 Exactly.

00:40:59.480 Now, that's what I want to see.

00:41:02.060 Now, am I complimenting CNN?

00:41:04.100 Nope.

00:41:04.920 Because his co-worker, Abby Phillip, I noticed, has gone full Sean Hannity and has completely lost any sense of objectivity. 0.99

00:41:14.580 And almost every word out of her mouth was Baghdad, Bob, propaganda bullshit. 0.96

00:41:20.160 So, you've got this interesting situation on CNN. 0.99

00:41:23.120 I don't know how management is handling it.

00:41:25.100 Because you've got one completely honest, reasonable person who's trying to help his viewers understand what's real.

00:41:34.840 That Chris Goons is lying to you right now.

00:41:37.960 That's real.

00:41:39.940 And Abby Phillip, completely different page.

00:41:42.120 Absolutely pure brainwashing propaganda.

00:41:45.560 How does management handle that?

00:41:47.560 They should get rid of her if they're trying to find the middle. 1.00

00:41:51.120 Advice to CNN?

00:41:52.980 Get rid of Abby Phillip. 1.00

00:41:55.040 She's one of the fine people hoaxers. 1.00

00:41:58.600 Yeah, she's not helping you.

00:42:00.520 She's not helping at all.

00:42:04.860 All right.

00:42:05.260 Here's my favorite story of the day.

00:42:09.340 There's a scientist who's suggesting that the problem with Biden's brain...

00:42:14.900 Wait for it.

00:42:16.220 This is a good one.

00:42:17.660 That the real problem with Biden's brain is not dementia.

00:42:22.220 Could be damage from Russia's secret sonic weapon that they've been using on the embassies, he says.

00:42:29.440 Which, of course, is not true and has never happened.

00:42:33.160 But I was so impressed that there was somebody in the news who could find a way to blame Biden's brain deterioration on Putin.

00:42:45.580 There's actually somebody who made it Russia's problem.

00:42:51.860 Do you notice any pattern?

00:42:54.960 Have you seen the pattern?

00:42:56.920 Oh, I've got a hangnail.

00:42:59.320 Putin!

00:43:01.240 Looks like it's cloudy today.

00:43:03.300 Russia!

00:43:04.380 Russia!

00:43:06.420 Yeah, we noticed.

00:43:08.020 We noticed the pattern.

00:43:09.020 Well, let's talk about presidential immunity.

00:43:15.040 The Supreme Court rule, we'll talk about that a little bit.

00:43:17.960 But Biden gave a four-minute, I don't know what you call it, a clever wag on the locals' platform.

00:43:29.240 He called it the cuckoo clock press briefing.

00:43:35.460 See, now a cuckoo clock works.

00:43:37.500 The little doors open and the cuckoo clock, right?

00:43:41.020 And then the little cuckoo bird comes out, goes, cuckoo, cuckoo, and then goes right back in and the little doors close.

00:43:48.780 That's what Biden did.

00:43:51.020 There are two big brown doors and they open.

00:43:53.840 Biden comes out by himself, spends four minutes talking cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, and then goes right back with no answering, no questions.

00:44:02.400 It's the cuckoo clock.

00:44:04.300 We've got a cuckoo clock president.

00:44:05.840 He can't answer questions.

00:44:07.680 He can't talk for more than four minutes unless he's reading it.

00:44:11.580 And that's normal.

00:44:13.080 Let's pretend that's normal.

00:44:15.100 That's not normal.

00:44:18.120 All right.

00:44:19.320 But here's the funniest part that I mentioned if you joined the show at the beginning.

00:44:23.800 That Biden was apparently way makeup to more than normal, probably in response to the fact that he looked pale and deathly at the debate.

00:44:33.580 So they gave him a good few layers of makeup that turned him orange, turned him orange. 1.00

00:44:42.880 So, and then Trump posted on True Social just a picture of his big face looking orange and stupid. 1.00

00:44:52.480 I just love the fact that he didn't need any words to sell that meme. 1.00

00:44:58.940 Oh, my God.

00:44:59.740 That's funny.

00:45:00.220 All right.

00:45:02.840 Over on MSNBC, they had a legal analyst on who told them what they certainly didn't want to hear.

00:45:10.380 He thought that the decision from the Supreme Court that basically says that if the president's doing official president business, that he's got lots of immunity from criminal prosecution.

00:45:22.900 But if it's not in the, if it's not an official act, then he'd be as exposed as anybody else.

00:45:30.080 Now, that seems to be a strengthening of what was a historical situation.

00:45:37.320 We always thought presidents had a little more, you know, a little more wiggle room than other people.

00:45:43.080 Obama using a drone to kill an American overseas, for example.

00:45:46.820 You know, so we've always just assumed they had extra wiggle room.

00:45:50.240 Or, as I like to say, above the law.

00:45:56.040 Now, when I thought that Obama was acting like he was above the law, did I mind?

00:46:04.360 No, not much.

00:46:06.160 No.

00:46:06.600 Because to me, it looked like he was doing something in his official capacity.

00:46:10.760 Maybe you could argue he shouldn't have done it.

00:46:13.180 But it looked like he was doing it for the benefit of, you know, the country, the military.

00:46:18.600 So, I didn't have a problem with it all.

00:46:21.520 So, just to be clear, do I think some Americans are above the law?

00:46:27.000 Yes.

00:46:28.380 And do I think it's always bad?

00:46:31.400 Depends.

00:46:32.620 I think the presidency, and that includes Biden, by the way, not just Trump, but I think the

00:46:38.260 president should have a little extra, little extra leeway.

00:46:43.820 I'm totally good with that.

00:46:45.100 Now, is that an example of no one being above the law?

00:46:48.360 No.

00:46:49.280 Not really.

00:46:50.300 That's a case of the office being above the law.

00:46:54.940 That's how I see it.

00:46:56.540 It's not a case of Obama was above the law.

00:46:59.300 It was a case that the office was.

00:47:01.260 And I was okay with that.

00:47:02.820 As long as it was, you know, directed in my benefit.

00:47:05.360 Or even allegedly in my benefit.

00:47:07.580 That'd be fine.

00:47:08.180 So, but now it's, let's say, a little bit more legitimized by the court with more clarity.

00:47:17.160 So, one of MSNBC's legal analysts told them what they didn't want to hear, that the decision

00:47:23.400 was logical and makes sense.

00:47:25.420 And that we should avoid rejecting that decision just because it's about Trump.

00:47:32.480 He says, don't look at it through a Trump lens.

00:47:35.340 If you just look at it in a non-Trump lens, it actually made sense.

00:47:39.780 It was a good, clean decision that cleared up a lot, apparently.

00:47:44.720 Some say.

00:47:45.840 I'm no expert here.

00:47:47.060 But Eric Holder had a different opinion.

00:47:52.560 Now, he would be ex-attorney general, right?

00:47:55.760 So, he said, our democracy has been gravely wounded.

00:47:59.980 Huh.

00:48:01.500 He said, the Trump immunity decision says the president can violate a criminal law if he

00:48:06.640 acts within his broadly defined constitutional authority.

00:48:09.500 This is absurd and dangerous.

00:48:11.220 And there's no basis in the Constitution for this court-constructed monstrosity.

00:48:19.320 So, I guess Democrats don't like activist courts.

00:48:24.100 Hmm.

00:48:24.800 That seems like the opposite of what they always said before.

00:48:29.100 So, of course, I'm no expert.

00:48:31.380 And when I hear a lot of the people like Sotomayor say stuff like, well, I guess the president 0.97

00:48:37.700 can order SEAL Team 6 to kill his opponent.

00:48:42.020 Do you think that's true?

00:48:44.900 Based on what the news told you.

00:48:47.940 Okay.

00:48:48.160 Based on the news or your own opinions.

00:48:50.900 Do you think that a president could order SEAL Team 6 to kill a candidate who's running

00:48:56.320 against him and that that would work out and he would just retire in peace and people would

00:49:02.600 say, man, I wish he hadn't killed that guy.

00:49:04.560 But, you know, the office of the president, it's above the law.

00:49:08.580 We're good with it.

00:49:10.020 Now, I didn't have to be a legal scholar to know that wasn't true.

00:49:17.040 No.

00:49:17.980 I didn't need to be.

00:49:19.240 Did you?

00:49:20.460 You know, most of you are not legal scholars.

00:49:22.740 Did you need a legal scholar to tell you, you know, that's probably not true that if

00:49:27.900 a president killed somebody that the Supreme Court says they can just, you know, as long

00:49:32.560 as they're sort of semi-official, it's okay.

00:49:37.620 No, that's not true.

00:49:38.880 So, I asked ChatGPT to clarify.

00:49:43.800 What sort of things would a president still be in big trouble for and not have immunity

00:49:49.840 for even under this new Supreme Court interpretation?

00:49:54.560 And the answer is long.

00:49:56.060 So, first of all, the president can be impeached, right?

00:49:59.600 So, you can be impeached.

00:50:00.600 So, but still, even impeachment would not make you criminally liable if you could argue

00:50:09.900 that during the presidency it was part of your job, even with impeachment.

00:50:15.380 But impeachment exists.

00:50:17.000 It's not a nothing.

00:50:18.140 But here are the examples where the president could be prosecuted in just any normal way,

00:50:25.860 even if he argued that it was in the course of doing his job.

00:50:34.080 So, if the president obstructed justice, there would be no immunity.

00:50:39.880 So, for example, if there was some legal process going on and the president closed it down for

00:50:45.200 just, you know, naked political reasons, nobody's going to say, well, presidents can do that.

00:50:51.180 So, I guess you can obstruct justice.

00:50:54.800 No, the president isn't allowed to obstruct justice.

00:50:59.380 Not allowed to.

00:51:01.460 But other things, according to ChatGPT, you should do a fact check on this, by the way.

00:51:06.380 So, I'm not saying ChatGPT is correct, but just as a reference point.

00:51:11.400 So, things that a president would still be in big trouble for would be obstruction of justice,

00:51:17.940 bribery, perjury, financial or other fraud, embezzlement, espionage, witness tampering,

00:51:23.300 conspiracy, monitoring, laundering, obstruction of Congress, murder of an opponent,

00:51:28.180 conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit murder, abuse of power.

00:51:33.140 So, basically, there is no scenario in which a president can kill his opponent,

00:51:38.680 just to kill his opponent.

00:51:41.400 Now, you might say to me, but, Scott, they're going to find a clever way around it. 0.98

00:51:46.580 Well, sure.

00:51:48.860 But it's going to be kind of transparent.

00:51:51.700 So, I don't know if they get away with it.

00:51:54.280 What would be the argument that Biden could kill Trump?

00:52:00.840 What would be the argument for that?

00:52:03.220 Like, how in the world would he get away with that?

00:52:06.820 Crazy stuff.

00:52:07.600 Anyway, so, a lot of lying going on there.

00:52:13.360 And I would call it gaslighting.

00:52:16.720 If the Supreme Court and the experts who can understand the Supreme Court say,

00:52:22.140 no, it is not true that the president can murder his opponent.

00:52:28.220 But then somebody who is a prominent member of the Democratic Party says, it's true. 0.91

00:52:34.880 The court says he can murder his opponent.

00:52:38.020 That's gaslighting.

00:52:39.920 Because it's not a normal lie.

00:52:41.440 It's a lie where you can see right in front of you that that's not true.

00:52:46.020 Because you can turn on the TV and have a Supreme Court scholar say, no, that's not true.

00:52:52.120 They didn't rule that.

00:52:53.860 And they probably all will say that.

00:52:56.500 But then you're going to turn to Joy Reid and she's going to tell you, well, now the president 0.92

00:53:00.720 can murder his opponent. 0.76

00:53:03.600 That's gaslighting.

00:53:05.100 Because you can see with your own eyes that the experts are saying, no, you can't do that.

00:53:09.580 And then you turn the channel and she'll say, oh, you could totally do that.

00:53:13.320 Even when you know you can't.

00:53:15.580 Well, you should know it.

00:53:17.640 All right.

00:53:18.520 Here's a case of know the players.

00:53:20.460 Remember, I tell you that if the only thing you did is watch the news, you wouldn't know what's going on.

00:53:26.420 You have to know who is in the news and who they're connected to and what their pattern is.

00:53:31.620 And then, you know, let me give you some examples.

00:53:35.720 Haven't heard from Adam Schiff lately, have you?

00:53:39.560 Do you know why he comes out?

00:53:42.260 Adam Schiff comes out when you need to tell a big lie.

00:53:46.060 He's not the little lie guy because the regular people can take care of that.

00:53:50.140 The small lies, you know, the little exaggerations, the hyperbole, the, you know, arguing about what

00:53:55.860 the inflation rate is.

00:53:57.880 That's the little stuff.

00:53:58.840 So the regular, normal politicians and pundits do the little stuff.

00:54:03.300 But when they need a big one, like a big lie, like a really good gaslighting big lie, they

00:54:11.100 bring out Adam Schiff every time.

00:54:15.240 Here he is right on schedule.

00:54:17.440 And he's saying that, well, basically he's saying that the presidential immunity lets the

00:54:26.320 president do everything and it's a violation of the Constitution and basically everything

00:54:31.620 that's untrue.

00:54:32.400 If you just took the opposite of everything that Schiff says about this, you would find

00:54:35.960 the truth.

00:54:36.440 Now, if you didn't know that and you were just a casual viewer and you turn on the news

00:54:43.520 and you see this guy who's been elected a number of times saying that the Supreme Court got it

00:54:48.900 wrong and, you know, people will be murdering their opponents, you would find that convincing,

00:54:54.700 wouldn't you?

00:54:55.000 The only thing that makes it not convincing, if you were to see it out in the context of

00:55:00.340 other people's opinions, is that, you know, it's Adam Schiff.

00:55:04.880 They only bring him out for the big lies.

00:55:08.680 Otherwise, you never see him.

00:55:10.760 Have you ever seen him say anything that was true?

00:55:13.680 You know, just come out and talk about the news.

00:55:15.700 Oh, a thing happened today.

00:55:17.300 No, no.

00:55:18.780 He doesn't do normal hyperbole.

00:55:21.700 He only comes out when they got a big one.

00:55:24.940 And here it is.

00:55:26.320 So this is signaling that this is the big hoax.

00:55:29.740 This could be, I think they're still searching for the big summer hoax, but this might be it,

00:55:34.680 the summer hoax.

00:55:35.700 They will actually convince their public, the Democrats, that because they've already convinced

00:55:42.860 them that Trump is Hitler, and now they're going to convince them that we've given Hitler 0.89

00:55:47.560 total power to murder people. 0.87

00:55:49.080 That's actually the gaslighting that they're planning to do to their voters, that Trump

00:55:55.500 is Hitler, and he just got full power, because the Supreme Court that he appointed, the majority, 0.85

00:56:02.840 they just gave it to him.

00:56:04.400 So basically, he gave it to himself by appointing that majority.

00:56:08.960 Wow.

00:56:10.360 So that's the world.

00:56:11.140 So I feel sorry for the Democrats, because the Democrats are living in, what year was

00:56:17.680 it, 1939, Germany or something, where their actual experience is that Hitler just rose to

00:56:24.380 power and took complete power.

00:56:28.000 That's actually what they wake up to.

00:56:30.700 Nothing like that's happening.

00:56:32.060 In fact, it's, you know, it's literally the opposite, but that's what, that's the world

00:56:38.720 they're going to live in.

00:56:39.720 How do you think you would ever penetrate that world?

00:56:42.960 How could you ever talk anybody out of any of that?

00:56:45.700 Because they have no contact with Republicans.

00:56:50.120 Here's the thing.

00:56:50.840 I said this before, but let me say it in a, in a, let's say a stickier way.

00:56:59.200 In the old days, Republicans and Democrats would go to the same party.

00:57:04.300 I don't even think that happens, the same dinner party, because the host would say, I can't

00:57:09.400 have these people sitting at the same table.

00:57:11.100 It's going to, it's going to be a fight.

00:57:12.960 But in the old days, it was, it didn't even come up.

00:57:15.680 I don't think anybody really much talked politics.

00:57:18.780 You know, it's hard to avoid now.

00:57:19.880 But if you had lots of casual contact with normal people, who thought that Trump was

00:57:26.640 normal, don't you think that'd help?

00:57:30.480 Just seeing normal people who are not afraid of him.

00:57:34.180 But imagine if every person you talked to about Trump was shaking with fear.

00:57:41.380 How could you not be affected by that?

00:57:44.180 If you thought everybody was literally shaking.

00:57:47.320 The first time I saw this was 2016.

00:57:49.880 I was at a restaurant and there was a table near me where I could hear what they were saying.

00:57:54.640 And there was a woman who was talking about Trump and the fear she had and her body was

00:57:59.900 shaking.

00:58:01.380 Her body was shaking in a public place.

00:58:04.660 And I was just talking about him because she was so, so afraid.

00:58:08.140 And I thought, you look like somebody who doesn't have contact with any Republicans.

00:58:14.680 Because your sympathetic nervous system, you know, the way that we're influenced by our contacts with other people, would certainly be calmed down.

00:58:24.020 If you spend a few minutes with people who know that Hitler did not rise and that Hitler did not take over the country.

00:58:31.280 And by the way, the first four years were pretty ordinary.

00:58:34.040 So, I think the social contact between Republicans and Democrats strands Democrats in a poor mental health situation because they can't escape the gaslighting.

00:58:47.920 AOC, being her AOC self, thinks that if things don't go her way, she needs to impeach the entire Supreme Court. 1.00

00:59:00.640 So, that's her plan.

00:59:02.020 Does that sound like a normal political opinion or something closer to a dark triad personality trait?

00:59:11.920 Because she's this new young member of Congress and she thinks it's her job to get rid of the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:59:24.480 Does that sound like normal politics or some kind of mental illness? 0.91

00:59:30.180 I don't know. 0.97

00:59:30.820 That's a gray area.

00:59:32.140 But you decide.

00:59:36.020 All right.

00:59:36.700 I guess Trump's using the new ruling about immunity to try to overturn what some are calling the Manhattan case or the Stormy Daniels case.

00:59:47.020 Now, here's the thing.

00:59:48.980 The activities that were the subject of the trial happened when he was not president.

00:59:55.840 So, that stuff is not covered by immunity.

00:59:58.520 But here's the interesting part.

01:00:00.560 Some of the evidence that was presented in the case about something that happened before he was president included some facts that were apparently important to the case that happened while he was president.

01:00:14.760 So, there must have been some communication or something while he was president that may have confirmed what they thought about before he was president.

01:00:23.580 Now, you might say to yourself, well, that seems fine because it's just adding information to what you know before he was president.

01:00:30.000 So, why would that even be relevant?

01:00:33.840 But apparently the Supreme Court was specific that you can't even use evidence from when a person was president, which even I would say feels a little bit extreme.

01:00:44.920 I think if Democrats found that part sketchy, I'd have to say, I'm going to listen to that argument, that you can't even use evidence from when they were president to confirm that they committed a crime when they weren't president and had never been elected yet.

01:01:04.120 I don't know.

01:01:04.880 Does that feel right to you?

01:01:05.940 I guess I like that it's so clear, but I don't know.

01:01:13.020 That doesn't feel right to me.

01:01:15.400 So, if Democrats wanted to complain about that, I'd say, well, I'll listen to that complaint.

01:01:20.620 That doesn't seem crazy.

01:01:21.560 But I can also see why, if I were a lawyer, I would have a much more nuanced and smart opinion about it.

01:01:28.760 And I feel like if I were a lawyer, I'd be saying, yeah, you have to do that.

01:01:32.920 You know, oh, well, actually, here's an argument.

01:01:35.680 Maybe you have to do it so that the president isn't always being forced to testify.

01:01:40.060 You know, you could peck a president to death, making him give up information about what happened before he was president, he or she.

01:01:48.980 So, okay.

01:01:51.600 All right.

01:01:51.860 I suppose that would be the argument.

01:01:53.600 Something like that.

01:01:54.060 I'm just guessing.

01:01:54.860 I don't know.

01:01:55.720 But it feels like that might be the argument.

01:01:58.840 Searchlight Pictures presents The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.

01:02:03.100 From the director of Meet the Parents and the writer of Poor Things comes The Roses, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney.

01:02:15.840 A hilarious new comedy filled with drama, excitement, and a little bit of hatred, proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses.

01:02:23.960 See The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.

01:02:26.720 Get tickets now.

01:02:29.460 All right.

01:02:30.140 So, I don't know that Trump will prevail in that.

01:02:32.920 I would guess he won't.

01:02:34.380 But it might delay it.

01:02:37.160 So, it might delay sentencing until it all goes away after he's president.

01:02:40.880 And then there's the January obstruction case.

01:02:47.420 That's when we think that case will keep going.

01:02:50.420 And Jeffrey Toobin was on CNN saying that, yeah, he thinks that case might get yanked.

01:02:58.700 Okay.

01:02:59.260 You knew I was going to do it.

01:03:01.040 Don't act surprised.

01:03:03.300 Don't act surprised.

01:03:04.760 You heard me say, Toobin.

01:03:06.020 You knew I wasn't going to let it alone, so to speak.

01:03:12.040 So, it looks like, as Toobin says, a big victory for Trump.

01:03:16.420 And at minimum, everything will be delayed.

01:03:20.220 So, it looks like Trump's going to have something like a clean sweep.

01:03:24.520 Meaning that nothing in the lawfare will prevent him from being president.

01:03:31.560 I don't know how much it will linger, but it looks like it's not going to stop him from being president.

01:03:39.000 Something else might, but not that.

01:03:41.400 Biden says that they've got some polls that are circulating showing that his polling didn't change after the debate.

01:03:51.080 Really?

01:03:53.300 Really? 0.99

01:03:53.900 Apparently, his approval didn't change after they saw he didn't have a brain.

01:04:03.100 Apparently, the brain was optional.

01:04:05.960 No, I don't believe that.

01:04:07.460 That sounds like a fake poll to me.

01:04:11.960 Now, countering that, there's a New Hampshire poll that shows that Trump ended up ahead of Biden.

01:04:19.600 There's a 12-point swing in New Hampshire in favor of Trump.

01:04:24.880 So, he's now ahead where I think he would normally be expected to be behind.

01:04:30.800 All right.

01:04:31.380 Here's another know the players.

01:04:33.880 Know the players.

01:04:36.000 When was the last time you saw one of those Watergate guys on TV?

01:04:41.360 Bernstein, and I can never remember the other ones.

01:04:44.260 Who's the other one?

01:04:45.140 Bernstein, and...

01:04:46.960 Anyway, they drag those guys out when, you know, when there's something important.

01:04:56.360 So, they're sort of like the pundits under glass.

01:05:00.880 You bring them out just to say that something that Trump did is worse than Watergate.

01:05:06.180 But in this case, Carl Bernstein went on CNN and said that based on, you know, his reporting

01:05:12.100 and talking to people close to the presidency, that there have been 15 to 20 occasions where

01:05:19.120 Trump, where Biden has glitched down and looked like he just wasn't there, sort of like the

01:05:24.620 debate, 15 to 20 times, and that there's been an ongoing, a lot of people noticing donors,

01:05:33.360 insiders, well understood by the entire, every insider knew it.

01:05:37.840 A lot of people who saw him in person knew it.

01:05:44.300 And the 15 to 20 observations are just the ones in public.

01:05:49.100 Well, I guess some of them saw him behind.

01:05:50.980 But imagine how many there were that we didn't hear about.

01:05:54.440 If reporting can kick up 15 to 20 over, let's say, the course of the last year or six months,

01:06:00.800 how many were there?

01:06:02.660 Probably every night.

01:06:03.640 Probably every night he was, you know, completely out of it.

01:06:08.920 So even Carl Bernstein and even CNN are completely throwing Biden under the bus because they're

01:06:14.920 not buying at all the, it was a one-off bad night.

01:06:19.180 If CNN were trying to back Biden, they would be backing the narrative that, well, it could

01:06:24.440 be just one night and maybe he'll be fine.

01:06:27.600 But they're not, they're definitely not backing the narrative.

01:06:30.600 And now imagine if, if observers saw 15 to 20 occasions of Biden's brain breaking, how

01:06:39.580 many has Jill seen?

01:06:41.880 Imagine how about what Jill has seen and keeps him in the race.

01:06:47.780 Yeah.

01:06:48.540 Now you say it's elder abuse and I could certainly see that argument, but I wonder if it's narcissism.

01:06:55.560 I wonder if it's the dark triad.

01:06:58.120 Because it feels to me that what's missing here is empathy and what's here is gaslighting.

01:07:05.400 What does that signal?

01:07:07.980 So let's see, you've got a woman, so that's your first hint.

01:07:12.880 She's gaslighting the world about something that we can all see.

01:07:16.640 Who does that?

01:07:18.860 Who gaslights you on something you can see with your own eyes, as Jake Tapper says, hear

01:07:23.720 with your own ears, and still tells you it's not happening while you're looking right at

01:07:27.780 it?

01:07:28.860 Only narcissists.

01:07:30.780 That's not political. 0.80

01:07:33.240 Only narcissists do that. 1.00

01:07:34.980 So, and also the other symbol, the other signal for narcissists is a lack of empathy.

01:07:46.920 What are all of us saying about how Jill is treating her husband?

01:07:52.940 It looks like just a crazy lack of empathy.

01:07:56.500 Like it doesn't seem like spouse behavior at all.

01:08:00.120 It looks crazy, the lack of empathy.

01:08:02.600 Because somebody with empathy would have shut him down and tried to preserve what's left

01:08:08.500 of his legacy, if anything.

01:08:11.520 So no.

01:08:12.420 So if you have no empathy, you're gaslighting us right in front of us.

01:08:18.600 Why not just say it's the obvious?

01:08:21.620 Why are we saying that's political or she likes the limelight? 0.98

01:08:25.480 Well, people say she likes the limelight, but that would also be a narcissist, wouldn't 1.00

01:08:29.960 it?

01:08:30.140 So basically, every hint we're getting is some kind of narcissist, dark triad personality

01:08:36.820 problem that we're calling politics.

01:08:40.000 Again, every time you call this politics, you're on the wrong page.

01:08:44.240 This isn't politics.

01:08:45.940 This is gaslighting.

01:08:47.620 And it's dark triad behavior.

01:08:50.340 And we're the victims.

01:08:53.020 That's what's happening.

01:08:53.900 Carl Bernstein even said that at one point, Biden was giving a talk and rigor mortis set

01:09:02.580 in.

01:09:03.240 He got so stiff that they had to bring a chair and have him finish in the chair.

01:09:06.760 And Bernstein is telling Anderson Cooper this stuff.

01:09:12.240 And Anderson Cooper had to pretend he didn't know all along.

01:09:15.760 Now, I would like to nominate Anderson Cooper for an Academy Award for the best act on television 0.99

01:09:27.320 of pretending you didn't know for fucking five years, Anderson Cooper, you lying piece 1.00

01:09:33.440 of shit. 1.00

01:09:35.320 Now, Anderson Cooper, I don't think is being driven by narcissism in this situation. 1.00

01:09:42.160 I don't know, probably just political or lying, you know, something ordinary, because he obviously

01:09:49.780 knew.

01:09:50.520 They all knew.

01:09:51.140 So, Simone Sanders, political advisor, she says that the way to fix things is Biden should

01:10:01.860 go to town halls and answer more questions.

01:10:06.460 Okay.

01:10:08.160 So, she thinks the answer here is Biden should go out more and do more town halls and spontaneously

01:10:13.500 answer questions. 1.00

01:10:15.620 So, how stupid is that? 1.00

01:10:21.140 I can't even tell if she's running a prank. 1.00

01:10:25.120 Is that a prank?

01:10:27.060 It doesn't sound like it's even real.

01:10:29.900 Do you know what it is when somebody says something that looks like it could be a lie,

01:10:34.100 but it's so absurd because you can see the truth right in front of you?

01:10:37.880 Gaslighting.

01:10:38.780 It's gaslighting.

01:10:40.300 Yeah.

01:10:41.000 You know that's not the right answer.

01:10:44.040 You know that putting you in front of the public more is definitely the wrong answer.

01:10:48.880 But why is this political expert saying it's the right answer, besides gaslighting?

01:10:56.800 Do you remember, I want you to think back, put your historical hat on.

01:11:05.000 Can you remember a time when I would be mocked mercilessly in public for acting like I knew

01:11:11.960 more than an expert in some field or another?

01:11:16.280 Anybody have a memory of that?

01:11:18.600 I've done it a lot.

01:11:20.340 It's kind of a cocky thing to do.

01:11:22.720 Maybe it's because I'm a narcissist myself.

01:11:25.940 But on a number of occasions, I've told you, yeah, the experts are saying this, but I'm

01:11:32.900 telling you the experts are wrong.

01:11:34.680 And you all said the same thing.

01:11:36.400 Oh, God.

01:11:38.220 That is so cringy.

01:11:40.960 He has no expertise.

01:11:43.060 He's a cartoonist.

01:11:44.560 And he thinks he knows more than the scientists, more than the political experts, more than the

01:11:52.500 lawyers.

01:11:52.900 I mean, that's just insane.

01:11:58.140 Feels like a long time ago, doesn't it?

01:12:02.540 Let me give you a little update of Scott versus the experts.

01:12:07.640 And you can play, too.

01:12:09.080 You can play you versus the experts.

01:12:12.060 Let's see how you did.

01:12:14.440 Let's see.

01:12:15.160 Did you spot Biden's mental decline before the White House doctor?

01:12:25.880 I'll bet you did.

01:12:27.880 I'll bet you did.

01:12:29.900 Isn't the White House doctor the ultimate expert?

01:12:32.980 Went to medical school.

01:12:34.440 Must have been a good one to be the White House doctor.

01:12:37.160 White House doctor is the closest to the information, best information, and also the most expertise.

01:12:43.300 And you, you narcissist, you thought you knew more than the White House doctor?

01:12:50.820 Why do you think you know more than the experts? 0.53

01:12:53.980 It's because you did.

01:12:56.280 Now, we don't know why the White House doctor had the wrong answer and every one of you had

01:13:00.720 the right answer.

01:13:02.120 We don't know why.

01:13:03.920 He might be incompetent. 1.00

01:13:05.020 He might be stupid. 1.00

01:13:05.920 He might be gaslit. 1.00

01:13:07.340 Maybe bribed.

01:13:08.580 Blackmailed. 0.93

01:13:09.100 I don't know.

01:13:10.000 No idea. 0.99

01:13:11.240 All I know for sure is you got the right fucking answer. 0.99

01:13:15.860 You know you did. 0.99

01:13:17.640 But the expert didn't.

01:13:20.200 And then you looked at Simone Sanders, political expert, very experienced. 0.85

01:13:25.800 You know, one of the top rated political experts on the Democrat side.

01:13:30.380 And you just watched her give the worst advice, maybe in the history of political advice.

01:13:38.720 Did you say to yourself, I know that's the wrong answer?

01:13:43.000 You did, didn't you?

01:13:44.740 Every one of you said, I know that's the wrong answer.

01:13:47.480 You don't want to put Biden out there answering questions.

01:13:51.200 Did you or did you not beat the expert?

01:13:54.840 You did.

01:13:56.340 You're two for two.

01:13:57.340 You beat the White House doctor and you beat one of the top Democrat political analysts.

01:14:04.120 So good for you.

01:14:05.080 Two for two.

01:14:08.680 When Eric Holder did his legal analysis and some of the other experts and told you that

01:14:15.000 the president, and maybe Sotomayor too, told you that the president would be able to order

01:14:21.120 SEAL Team 6 to kill his opponent.

01:14:24.060 What did you say? 0.98

01:14:24.800 Did you say, huh, a Supreme Court justice, Sotomayor, is saying that he could kill his political

01:14:32.780 opponent and get away with it.

01:14:34.620 Now, did you say that's probably true?

01:14:36.940 Or did you say, well, I don't know much about the law, but I know that's not true.

01:14:42.720 I did.

01:14:44.180 I said that.

01:14:45.920 I'm no legal expert.

01:14:47.160 But did I beat a Supreme Court justice?

01:14:52.520 Yes, I did.

01:14:54.880 Unambiguously, my opinion on this one question was better than a Supreme Court justice, and 0.92

01:15:01.720 I will die on that hill.

01:15:03.000 It was better. 0.75

01:15:04.840 Because of course he would be prosecuted for murdering his opponent, even if Justice Sotomayor

01:15:10.940 says no.

01:15:11.840 Now, I think that most of you got that one right.

01:15:15.180 Am I right?

01:15:16.720 So are you three for three?

01:15:19.100 You beat the expert White House doctor.

01:15:22.180 You beat the best political analyst the Democrats have.

01:15:25.620 And now you've beat a Supreme Court justice.

01:15:28.900 You are amazing.

01:15:30.580 Have I ever told you how proud I am of you?

01:15:33.180 I'm so proud of you.

01:15:34.220 And how about the professional press?

01:15:41.340 You know, they're not like you, you unwashed masses.

01:15:46.400 No, these are people who studied journalism.

01:15:49.700 They've been practicing it for years.

01:15:51.500 And only the best of the best reached these good jobs in the New York Times and CNN.

01:15:56.780 So, you wouldn't want to be such a narcissist that you think, like, you could report better,

01:16:04.140 you know, understand the news better than the professionals, right?

01:16:09.860 Except that all of these professionals, at least on the left, didn't notice the fine people

01:16:17.720 hoax.

01:16:18.240 And they didn't notice that Biden's mental health was declining.

01:16:26.220 But you got both of them, didn't you?

01:16:29.400 Telling you, come on, don't be modest.

01:16:31.420 Don't be modest.

01:16:33.100 Don't be modest.

01:16:34.460 You knew the fine people hoax was fake news, didn't you?

01:16:38.020 You did.

01:16:38.800 You knew that. 0.93

01:16:40.100 And you knew that Biden's brain had been shot for a long time. 0.66

01:16:46.500 So good for you.

01:16:48.240 So you beat the White House doctor, a Supreme Court justice, you beat the scientists, you

01:16:57.300 beat, oh, we haven't gotten to the scientists yet.

01:17:01.040 When the scientists told you to wear masks to beat the pandemic, told you a horse dewormer

01:17:09.600 would be bad for you, told you that those vaccines would stop you from getting it and that they

01:17:16.240 were totally safe.

01:17:17.100 What did you say?

01:17:19.680 Well, we won't get into all the details, but I'm going to say, because I trust you, I'll

01:17:25.620 bet you got those answers right more often than the experts.

01:17:31.760 Am I right?

01:17:33.040 Does anybody want to raise their hand and say, yeah, you know, honestly, all things considered,

01:17:38.220 I beat the experts, I beat the experts?

01:17:39.900 Did you?

01:17:41.000 I'll bet you did.

01:17:42.680 Because you're a smart and wise and spunky group.

01:17:45.940 I think you beat the experts.

01:17:48.040 How about climate change?

01:17:49.180 Well, we don't have a final judgment on climate change, do we?

01:17:58.680 Because 97% of the experts say it's real.

01:18:01.800 What do you say?

01:18:05.540 Do you say something like, I don't think they can measure the temperature of the earth, especially

01:18:12.360 with the heat island problem.

01:18:13.620 And I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as predicting the future with multivariable models.

01:18:21.260 That's what I say. 0.95

01:18:24.500 And if I say that the models are really transparently obvious bullshit, even if, even if the planet's 0.96

01:18:33.740 getting warmer and it's somewhat caused by people, it still means that the, that's unrelated to 0.99

01:18:39.580 the question of whether the models are bullshit. 1.00

01:18:41.580 They're complete bullshit. 1.00

01:18:42.620 Of course they are. 1.00

01:18:43.620 We can't do that.

01:18:44.780 You can't measure the temperature of the earth everywhere to the precision that you need. 0.99

01:18:48.860 Their predictions have all been bullshit so far. 0.97

01:18:51.260 And so, did you beat science when it came to climate change? 0.99

01:18:57.620 In your opinion, did you beat the experts?

01:19:00.940 Yes.

01:19:01.680 You beat the political experts, the medical experts.

01:19:04.860 You beat the press.

01:19:07.040 You beat the Supreme Court justice and science all over the place. 0.68

01:19:15.460 You beat it like crazy.

01:19:17.680 Now, can we make an agreement?

01:19:21.260 That the next time I doubt the experts, just call it a tie.

01:19:28.540 Your starting assumption should be, well, it's, you know, before I know more, at least

01:19:35.220 it's possible.

01:19:36.280 He's beating the experts because you do it every day.

01:19:38.900 You, you, you individually are beating the experts on a regular basis.

01:19:43.900 We all are.

01:19:45.860 It's now so common that it's nothing to brag about.

01:19:49.080 It's become easy. 1.00

01:19:50.700 So, yeah, experts are bullshit. 0.99

01:19:53.600 Well, there's a new story that, uh, um, Trump had some phone calls to Epstein. 0.99

01:19:58.820 We don't know what the subject of the phone calls were.

01:20:01.940 He was single at the time.

01:20:03.880 So people are saying, you know, something there.

01:20:07.200 But I don't know if this is any new news because we were already aware that, um, there was a

01:20:13.020 brief time when they knew each other and Epstein had been at Mar-a-Lago, but then something

01:20:18.800 happened where Trump figured out what was going on and excommunicated him.

01:20:22.880 So you can make something out of it, but there's not any real new information because we knew

01:20:29.640 they had some contacts during that time.

01:20:32.740 Nothing new.

01:20:34.860 All right.

01:20:35.720 Ladies and gentlemen, um, that concludes my prepared comments.

01:20:44.820 I hope that didn't distress you too much.

01:20:48.420 And if you, and I'll remind you, if you want to see the naughtiest Dilbert comic of all

01:20:52.600 time, it's the one today, but you'd have to be a subscriber on X or Locals to see it.

01:20:58.860 And, uh, thanks for joining YouTube and Rumble and X platforms.

01:21:04.620 I'm going to say bye to you guys.

01:21:06.540 And we're going to stick with the, uh, locals, my beloved local subscribers for a little bit.

01:21:11.900 And thanks for joining.

01:21:14.100 I enjoy every morning.

01:21:16.140 I really do.

01:21:17.600 Yeah.

01:21:17.880 This is the only thing I've ever done that you could argue is work.

01:21:22.600 That I just look so forward to doing every day.

01:21:25.300 It's a pretty good deal.

01:21:26.940 Bye for now.

01:21:29.960 All right.

01:21:30.440 Let's hit the right button.

01:21:31.660 Oh, I think I hit the wrong button.

01:21:33.280 No, it won't work.

01:21:35.000 Maybe it will.

01:21:39.060 Nope.

01:21:40.920 Oh no.

01:21:41.740 Oh, all right.

01:21:43.360 I found a bug in the Rumble Studio that I thought I saw before.

01:21:47.260 So here's the, here's the problem.

01:21:49.920 It's part of human error.

01:21:52.160 Um, I, I hit the wrong button, but then I backed out.

01:21:56.300 So it didn't take any effect.

01:21:57.800 And then I hit the right button.

01:21:59.940 When you hit the right button, you can't do it anymore after you've hit the wrong button

01:22:04.220 and backed out.

01:22:05.040 So even though the wrong button didn't execute anything, it put me in some kind of mode that

01:22:09.820 created a bug in the Rumble Studio.

01:22:12.100 So I don't have the option.

01:22:13.600 Uh, I thought I'd seen that pattern before.

01:22:17.060 It's a weird pattern.

01:22:18.320 It's hard to check.

01:22:19.380 If you're checking your own software, one of the things you don't do is click a totally

01:22:25.400 wrong button and then back out and then go over and click the right button.

01:22:30.280 Like it wouldn't occur to you to even test that because they're different buttons.

01:22:34.160 Like why would you even test that?

01:22:36.040 Uh, but I've seen the pattern now.

01:22:37.620 So if you're a Rumble developer, do this, hit the end stream button.

01:22:43.600 But then don't confirm, you know, back out, don't actually confirm the end and then hit

01:22:48.640 the button that, um, will subtract everything, but the Rumble and, uh, and locals people.

01:22:56.400 If you do it in that order, it bugs and then you can't actually, uh, limit it to the locals

01:23:03.000 people anyway.

01:23:05.220 Um, but let me say that the Rumble Studio is a marvel of technical brilliance and, um, you

01:23:12.940 know, it's new, so you're going to get a little bugs, but my God, is it great?

01:23:17.540 Um, I, it's the product I've been waiting for, for five or 10 years.

01:23:22.100 It does everything I want it to do.

01:23:24.600 Uh, a couple of bugs fixed and it will be amazing.

01:23:28.540 So pretty normal stuff.

01:23:30.200 Anyway, I'm going to say bye to everybody.

01:23:32.980 Uh, cause those are my only options now with where the interface is.

01:23:37.600 So bye to everybody.

01:23:39.940 I think I have to wait 20 seconds so that the locals people don't get cut off.

01:23:46.980 So now I'm just stalling and you should probably just say goodbye if you can hear me.

01:23:53.080 But in theory, this part will get cut off.

01:23:55.700 So nobody should hear it, but maybe some people will hear it and some won't.

01:23:59.460 Um, and the stream won't end.

01:24:06.100 All right.

01:24:06.640 So that didn't work either.

01:24:07.820 So the stream won't end, which means that I have to delete all the live streams on the,

01:24:13.900 on their destinations.

01:24:15.900 So, um, if you didn't see the show, you probably won't.

01:24:20.980 Cause this particular bug will keep the other shows live forever.

01:24:25.380 They can't be, I can't cut them out.

01:24:27.500 Um, so if there is a, I'll look, I'll, I'll try to kill them, but they'll, they'll either 0.96

01:24:32.960 run forever or I'll have to delete them. 0.98

01:24:37.520 Yeah.

01:24:38.100 The end, end stream just doesn't work.

01:24:41.540 All right.

01:24:42.620 I'm going to just cut, shut down the application and then try to kill stuff normally if I can.

01:24:57.500 And, and just relax a bit.

01:24:58.400 See you later.

01:25:04.040 I'll see you later.

01:25:07.240 All right.

01:25:07.800 Okay.

01:25:08.280 And, and then, and then, and then, you go over there too.

01:25:16.440 Okay.

01:25:19.480 Okay.

01:25:20.500 Okay.

01:25:21.240 All right.

01:25:21.560 on the back side, I'll see you later.

01:25:21.960 Okay.

01:25:22.460 All right.

01:25:22.540 All right.

01:25:23.520 Okay.

01:25:24.540 All right.

01:25:24.880 Thank you.

01:25:54.880 Thank you.

01:26:24.880 Thank you.

01:26:54.880 Thank you.

01:27:24.880 Thank you.

01:27:54.880 Thank you.

01:28:24.880 Thank you.

01:28:54.880 Thank you.
