Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2537 CWSA 07⧸15⧸24

00:00:00.000 human civilization and if you'd like to take this experience which is already

00:00:04.720 going to be amazing up to levels that nobody can even understand all you need

00:00:08.280 for that is the simultaneous sip and for that you need the cover mugger a glass

00:00:13.000 of tanker gels or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

00:00:16.920 your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:20.680 of the dopamine the other day thing makes everything better it's called the

00:00:23.220 simultaneous sip happens now let me ask you is there any breaking news there

00:00:33.580 would be something else we need to sip to is there anything happening at exactly

00:00:38.000 this moment that would suggest another sip is appropriate let me check it turns out

00:00:46.260 that judge cannon has dismissed the mar-a-lago documents case because jack

00:00:51.860 smith's special counsel appointment was not appropriate

00:00:57.100 would like to drink to that is trump having the weirdest best week of all time i think he is

00:01:10.880 i think he is

00:01:12.000 so so good and now i'm seeing that one of you is enjoying the first day of retirement

00:01:24.600 does anybody like to would you like to join me in drinking to

00:01:28.760 this person's first day of retirement first day of retirement yay i'll drink to that

00:01:40.880 so good well we will of course talk about all things political and trump but i thought i would

00:01:49.560 give you this breaking news first in addition to the documents case so by the way i don't know yet

00:01:56.560 does that mean that there can never be a another prosecution for that or does it mean it's delayed

00:02:03.440 past anything would be delayed past i don't know or you'd have to get uh democrats in power or something

00:02:13.120 so i don't know exactly if that means there's no way he's ever going to be at risk for that

00:02:17.760 or there's no practical way he'll ever be at risk but technically he could be so we don't know the

00:02:23.760 ramifications we'll wait for our jonathan to release and our dershowitzes to tell us what's going on

00:02:30.000 but sounds good all right uh last night i had this idea i wonder if i could teach chat gp hypnosis

00:02:39.920 so i taught us some uh persuasion techniques i'll call it waking hypnosis so not the kind of hypnosis

00:02:47.200 where you put somebody in a so-called trance but the kind where you just affect them with your words

00:02:53.280 in a in an unusually forceful way and so i taught it some techniques of uh persuasion and that i had

00:03:01.840 it tested by turning it on me to see if it could use those techniques of persuasion and then i would

00:03:08.480 as it would use a technique i'd interrupt and say oh here's a here's another technique to wrap on top of

00:03:15.680 that and maybe intermix with what you're already doing and then i'd interrupt it again and say okay

00:03:22.160 you're doing a great job but maybe you could add this technique as well and it started stacking

00:03:28.160 techniques until i had about six of them and i gotta tell you you have no idea what's coming

00:03:38.560 now i know everybody says that about ai but they're talking about different you know aspects of it

00:03:46.080 i trained chat gpt to give me an experience which is reproducible by the way it would be easy to

00:03:53.040 just have it do it again uh and by the way chat gpt now remembers what you tell it from one session to

00:03:59.680 another so it now knows but only in my account i think i don't think that means all of chat gpt knows

00:04:06.640 i think only in my account it learned some weapons grade persuasion and when it turned it on me

00:04:17.680 i had the most profound experience

00:04:22.160 now there's no way to explain it to you you know it was a an experience i know it's very

00:04:27.280 reproducible because it was so powerful and what it was is i always wondered what would happen if

00:04:33.440 somebody knows what i know and used it on me and i experienced that i've never experienced that

00:04:40.400 before and oh my god was it powerful now i'll tell you the domain the domain was i told it to make me

00:04:49.360 feel good i said persuade me to feel good and i know what you're going to ask you're going to say what's

00:04:58.240 the prompt you know what prompts did you give it to make this happen and the answer is i will never

00:05:03.920 tell you those prompts they are way too dangerous dangerous because it will absolutely take over your

00:05:10.160 brain it it gave me an experience that is beyond psychedelics it was basically that powerful and it did it

00:05:20.480 instantly and it could do it it could do it as long as i wanted it it instantly put me in a state of um

00:05:31.920 bliss

00:05:34.720 and it could keep me there as long as i wanted it was on freaking believable and you i know you're going to

00:05:43.040 want to know how i did it i honestly can't tell you it's too dangerous it is way way too dangerous but

00:05:48.880 that's coming

00:05:51.920 well the big news in politics is uh there's reports that the democrat leaders have capitulated

00:05:58.000 meaning that they think a trump presidency is inevitable and they better get ready

00:06:03.040 to just deal with the future um they've also said that there's probably no way to replace biden now

00:06:10.720 it's not practical nobody's nobody's going to want to take the job just to lose to trump

00:06:15.520 because nobody thinks trump's going to lose at this point do you remember who's the first person who

00:06:21.200 told you that biden would not be replaced because this that was me

00:06:28.320 yeah and by the way if you didn't see that on your own

00:06:31.840 um that's why i'm here yeah that created a situation in which there wasn't any way that biden could leave

00:06:37.760 and then biden went and acted presidential which basically guarantees it'll stay because he got

00:06:46.000 through one presidential thing now anything could happen you know the entire situation could change

00:06:53.440 change in a moment as it did already once it could change many times more um

00:07:02.560 yeah now the reason i uh brag to you about anything that i predicted that i got right

00:07:08.640 is not just because i like bragging feels good everybody likes it but it's because this is what i do

00:07:15.520 i make predictions i tell you what basis the prediction is made upon and then you see if it

00:07:22.000 works and then you can see if the tool that i used to make the prediction worked in that case and then

00:07:28.880 you can make your own judgment about oh i will employ that tool in the future or not because it worked or

00:07:35.520 it didn't so in this case i told you that i could just see the gears of the machine and the gears of the

00:07:42.800 the machine indicated that uh nobody would want to lose basically human nature so human nature was

00:07:50.080 the filter that nobody wants to go into a surely losing situation and that's all you needed to know

00:07:56.320 that there would be no replacement for biden and sure enough in 24 hours they just abandoned the whole

00:08:01.280 idea of of replacing him but the capitulation um comes with some weird elements to it we'll talk about

00:08:09.840 now as fisher king a great account you should be following on x reminds us that trump might win

00:08:19.520 in 2024 but only if we have a massive landslide because let me say clearly and out loud and with

00:08:25.920 no ambiguity we do not trust the government to do elections that are clean i don't now do i know

00:08:34.960 therefore that there's proof you know court proof that elections in the past were rigged that's not

00:08:41.360 my claim i'm not making that claim i'm saying we live in an environment in which trusting that this

00:08:47.600 would be the the one area where things are not rigged is naive there's not much chance that the most

00:08:56.880 valuable and easily riggable system is the only one that's not rigged really but let's let's do the really

00:09:03.760 test on it if you're new the really test is if you make a claim and somebody can debunk it just by

00:09:11.040 tilting their head to the side and going really but then you don't have a good claim all right let's try

00:09:17.840 it the claim is that although we've seen every major system and every major organization we've ever

00:09:25.520 trusted to be thoroughly corrupt in the worst possible ways that the one and only one exception

00:09:32.240 is our election systems which we know are not fully auditable and yet even though the stakes are

00:09:38.960 through the roof people think they're stopping hitler so we have the highest incentive the lowest

00:09:47.040 probably protection because it's not fully auditable and under those conditions you're telling

00:09:52.640 me that that's the only system in all 50 states run separately all of those 50 states are the only good

00:10:00.160 examples of things that are not rigged in the entire united states really

00:10:08.320 really but scott nothing's been proven in the courts i mean the courts that have also been shown to be

00:10:16.880 completely corrupt are you talking about those courts yeah so your evidence that the elections

00:10:26.800 are not rigged are that the other system that is rigged says it's not really really

00:10:39.520 see that really just works so as fisher king points out we're probably going to need a

00:10:45.600 landslide in order to beat the ballot harvesting and whatever shenanigans will happen we certainly expect

00:10:52.000 shenanigans and so the the advice is this something happened right the the assassination attempt

00:11:03.680 did change everything your common sense and even things you're hearing in the media is that that guarantees

00:11:10.400 a trump victory do not assume that the only thing that would guarantee him a victory is a landslide

00:11:17.760 a slight advantage does not guarantee him anything the only way he wins is with a landslide you've got it

00:11:26.160 you've got to put the pedal to the metal you've got to accelerate into the corner this isn't the time where you go

00:11:34.720 well i guess i don't have to vote at all no you got to accelerate into the corner this is the time to put the

00:11:40.480 afterburners on the afterburners on it's not the time to relax

00:11:47.040 all right um i didn't see this coming but uh google has disproved the existence of god

00:11:55.680 wow next story now you probably want some details don't you yeah so some google researchers

00:12:04.320 uh say they simulated the emergence of life with just uh programs so they did an experiment

00:12:13.680 they said what would happen if you left a bunch of random data alone for millions of generations

00:12:18.800 so they just left data alone

00:12:22.160 and somehow they witnessed the emergence of self-replicating digital life forms

00:12:29.040 so somehow the data managed to evolve into self-replicating programs from random starting points

00:12:39.680 so they think uh um it's great stuff forward he says understanding the potential roots to the

00:12:45.280 origin of life here in the medium quite removed from the standard wet wear of biology now they didn't

00:12:50.800 create they didn't create life in a biological sense what they did was they showed that randomness

00:12:58.240 can create order how the hell they did that i don't know it doesn't sound terribly doable to me

00:13:06.720 i'm not sure i trust this story at all but the claim is that if you can create order out of nothing

00:13:14.080 and apparently no god involved that would suggest that uh maybe we got here without a god

00:13:21.760 now it doesn't answer the question of how the whole universe got here before life

00:13:25.520 but neither does god because in both cases you can't have some nothing making something so if you'd

00:13:33.120 like to have an answer to the how could it be that something came from nothing it didn't there was always

00:13:40.640 something why do i say there was always something because everything else is nonsense if i just say there was

00:13:47.760 always something all questions are answered there was always something

00:13:55.600 all right now let's talk about a little bit more about god that was just your introduction um i saw many

00:14:03.760 many people and i believe a lot of you are in this camp you believe that the fact that trump moved his head

00:14:10.160 slightly and he went from being assassinated to probable president had to be an act of god how many of you

00:14:20.160 felt that god must have had his hand on that day in the comments who wants to uh say they think god was

00:14:30.880 involved probably one of the most common opinions in the country right now i would think

00:14:36.560 even if you were not pro-trump you're probably wondering if god was involved in that particular

00:14:42.240 incident yeah lots of yeses lots of yeses now my regular audience knows that i'm not a believer in

00:14:52.400 any traditional sense so uh my journey was i was raised a methodist but that didn't take so i went through

00:15:00.720 an atheist phase and maybe there was a phase you could have called be agnostic uh there was a point

00:15:06.720 where i believed in the simulation and that's sort of where i am now it's a good model for understanding

00:15:13.840 things we might be some kind of simulation a simulation not unlike what google discovered with its random

00:15:20.880 data starting to self-organize maybe but in this case i would imagine there's actually a creator

00:15:26.400 now i don't know the answer so let me be very clear i certainly would not try to convince you

00:15:34.800 i would not try to convince you the simulation is true i'm not going to convince you that there

00:15:40.080 is a god or there's no god i'm just going to tell you this interesting fact

00:15:47.360 biden called for unity and i said to myself that is insincere and political

00:15:52.880 he's been the main driver of disunity in my opinion and so his calls for unity i felt were insincere and

00:16:00.960 maybe just self-protective then trump called for unity and of course i put the same filter on and i said

00:16:11.280 my god this man can read the room

00:16:16.000 the the opportunity to win has already been given to him

00:16:23.440 if he wants to win he now has everything he needs

00:16:28.000 but there was another opportunity that was bigger it was the opportunity to be a legend

00:16:34.400 he can be the president you want if he stays feisty and keeps fighting and says i'm gonna you know

00:16:41.760 make sure that every all the bad people pay for what they've done and a lot of his base would say

00:16:46.800 that's exactly what i want i'm so mad wow do i want revenge some of you might say and that would make him

00:16:54.480 something like a president

00:16:57.840 if that's what he wanted to be a president

00:17:00.080 seems like on the surface that's what he wants but maybe he wants to be a legend

00:17:08.400 and so he called for unity and he became a legend

00:17:12.720 now you could say to yourself trump has been chasing this narcissistic dream forever

00:17:23.600 right since his youngest days he's always been kind of full of himself

00:17:27.600 and he's been chasing glory you might say and some would say to the point of maybe it's even ugly

00:17:36.720 that he would chase fame chase glory brag about himself build himself up

00:17:44.000 kind of create this artificial picture of greatness and you would say to yourself well you're a good

00:17:50.560 salesman but i don't know if you're great you know that's maybe not for me to judge

00:17:58.800 and i would say that uh trump did not find greatness i don't think he found it i think he chased

00:18:06.160 greatness all of his life and he did not find it but it sure as hell found him

00:18:16.720 and citizens are sort of all over the place

00:18:20.800 and they're starting to come to some common understandings they're starting to feel like

00:18:29.600 something happened they don't quite understand it but they feel it

00:18:34.080 it and you have the media which seems to at least for a while they seem to have climbed down a little

00:18:42.400 bit maybe the media is being nice or a little less provocative because they realize that they're in

00:18:52.800 trouble maybe they're just covering them with their own butts maybe they've seen the errors in the way 0.97

00:18:59.200 maybe they realize they're culpable and they feel a little sheepish so they've got their own incentives

00:19:07.600 so you've got biden who's probably out for himself you've got trump who's maybe opportunistic

00:19:13.840 you've got the citizens who are all over the place you've got the media that seems to be

00:19:20.800 sheepishly keeping its head down a little bit in fact we heard today that morning joe is

00:19:26.000 cancelled this morning so msnbc thought that it would be a little bit too risky to have morning joe

00:19:32.560 even on the air

00:19:35.840 that's a big deal it feels to some people like an admission of guilt that they were part of what

00:19:42.960 created this situation where somebody would want to take out a president some of it may be just good

00:19:48.480 business that they'd rather keep the news people on there for a while

00:19:51.840 um we'll see what they do with joy reed and rachel maddow i don't know any decisions have been made

00:19:59.040 i i advise them i don't know if you saw on social media but i advise them to keep their opinion

00:20:04.880 people off the air for a week because there's no way we don't see them as culpable we do and

00:20:12.960 i think keeping morning joe off the air feels like a confession it feels like a confession and i don't

00:20:21.200 mind that you know i i want the truth more than i need any kind of revenge i don't need revenge if

00:20:31.520 i can get the truth give me the truth and we're good now by the way i live my life like that i've had

00:20:38.640 situations where i really needed an apology and i traded the apology for the truth if you tell me

00:20:46.400 the truth you'll never need to apologize just tell me the truth and we're good and that works it's a

00:20:53.760 good standard by the way at gray goose we believe that pleasure is a necessity that's why we craft the

00:21:01.040 world's number one premium vodka in france using only three of the finest natural ingredients french

00:21:06.800 into it water from jean sac and yeast with gray goose we invite you to live in the moment and make time

00:21:15.680 weight sip responsibly so i had this weird feeling yesterday as i was watching what's happening to the

00:21:28.880 common consciousness of the country and did you feel that there's a common consciousness

00:21:34.400 did you feel that that even though we disagree in many ways we have different intentions and different

00:21:43.440 goals and all that that we're all sort of focusing on the same thing at the same time and for a moment

00:21:53.840 we all wished for the best

00:21:56.640 now it's a lot like your body isn't it think of your body you know your your cells in your body

00:22:07.440 they're not aware that they're part of a body are they they're they're just doing their thing your bones

00:22:14.160 are doing different things in your skin your eyes are doing different things in your ears and none of

00:22:18.080 them are really aware that they're part of some larger emergent thing which is you so the human

00:22:24.400 being which is you is sort of a some kind of emergent property that is the sum of all these parts

00:22:31.040 that don't have the same intention as you they're all just doing their thing and then i look at the world

00:22:39.760 and i think huh there's me believing what i believe there's you believing what you believe

00:22:45.280 there's somebody else believing what they believe we don't have the same awareness we don't have the

00:22:53.360 same intentions we don't have the same priorities and we got the biden calling for unity and maybe he's

00:22:59.360 insincere you got trump calling for unity maybe he just reads the room because he's good at that

00:23:07.600 we've got all kinds of people all over the place and yet and yet yesterday i felt something that i've never

00:23:18.960 felt before some kind of benevolent force that i can't explain

00:23:30.080 did you feel it now there's definitely evil out there you can feel that too

00:23:38.000 but there is some kind of emergent property that is a benevolent force

00:23:45.600 and i had once speculated in a book

00:23:50.720 that god could be your past and god could be your future but it's entirely possible

00:24:00.320 that god goes through phases where maybe god dissembles into parts and maybe when you watch

00:24:13.840 civilization start from a bunch of people carving on stones and you see that it's marching inexorably

00:24:22.240 toward better communication with itself we build printing presses we build telephones we build the

00:24:32.320 internet what does it all have in common an instinct to connect an instinct that is way beyond even your

00:24:41.680 biological instincts it's not about reproduction there's some larger instinct that makes us want to

00:24:46.640 want to connect and want to connect better connect faster and so now we have here we are living in the

00:24:54.880 age of ai in the age of the internet and we're watching this great thing called a civilization it's all these

00:25:02.480 different parts they got different intentions different thoughts different priorities

00:25:10.240 and somehow there's an emergent property from all of it called civilization

00:25:13.840 and maybe there are other emergent properties that you didn't see coming and are not the intention of

00:25:20.320 any of the parts and yesterday that's what it felt like it felt like god was reassembling

00:25:30.720 and you could feel it

00:25:34.480 now i didn't say that just so i could write tell you that i wrote a book about it but i did write a book

00:25:40.480 about it if you want to see the the fictional version of god reassembling that's what the book's about

00:25:47.680 and i got to tell you that as someone who doesn't believe in the standard model

00:25:54.400 of religion i felt something and still feel it and it's bigger than the evil it's bigger

00:26:02.720 so keep an eye on that

00:26:11.040 um we're watching a number of people come forward and say that the event made them trump supporters

00:26:16.080 but it is what i call the fake because i've talked about this a lot a fake because is in the world of

00:26:22.960 persuasion is where somebody really really wants to be persuaded they want to change their mind in fact

00:26:28.720 they've already decided to change their mind but they're going to need a reason because they may

00:26:34.480 have changed their mind for emotional reasons they may they may need an external reason to change their

00:26:39.840 mind but it's a fake reason they've already changed their mind in in their heads and apparently the

00:26:46.480 assassination attempt is a fake because i'll just read you one of them james uh in galanera i think he's

00:26:54.800 a tech guy in san francisco he says that the dam broke for me and many others today i live in san

00:27:01.040 francisco where it's a social death sentence to voice support for trump regardless i will be voting

00:27:07.040 for trump this election and will voice my support publicly and unabashedly social and financial

00:27:11.360 consequences be damned a very serious line was crossed today

00:27:16.320 yes it was how many people feel like james don't know because remember we're not talking about people

00:27:26.640 who changed their minds we're talking about people who had maybe long ago changed their minds but they

00:27:33.120 couldn't admit it they were afraid so do you know what went away fear fear went away the people who were

00:27:44.880 afraid of saying what they believed now are willing to say what they believe now i don't know how big

00:27:51.280 this is but james says it's some common feeling and anecdotally i am seeing a lot of it anecdotally i'm

00:27:59.280 seeing people come out of the trump closet and say you know what i don't care what happens

00:28:06.000 well we we have to stop now and fix this let's fix this

00:28:10.000 there is a benevolent force it's not trump

00:28:17.760 and it's not because trump found greatness it's because somehow it found him

00:28:24.320 where's that come from that's the big question isn't it

00:28:31.360 well the fact that trump would go with the unity theme is a lesson in persuasion that uh in fact i just

00:28:38.400 gave this lesson to my man cave people the people who subscribe on locals it goes like this

00:28:47.840 persuasion only works when it's the right timing

00:28:52.320 if trump had said before the assassination attempt you know what i've decided to go with a unity theme

00:28:59.120 what would his base have said what unity theme do you have any idea what they're trying to do to you

00:29:06.080 they just they're trying they're going to try to kill you and then they do try to kill him not they but

00:29:11.440 one crazy guy

00:29:14.640 and then instead of getting madder and he certainly was mad when he got shot you could tell that

00:29:19.440 but instead of doing what they expect him to do which is go crazy and unleash his white supremacist

00:29:26.560 army that doesn't exist he reads the room correctly again how many times does trump have to read the room

00:29:35.920 correctly before he realizes it's not an accident and he says he's going to go for unity he's going to

00:29:43.920 change up the whole approach now do you mind if trump is thinking maybe in terms of just political

00:29:54.000 expediency and it's just a good strategy do you mind if biden and the media are just covering their asses

00:30:04.800 i don't think you do i think what you need is the outcome you don't need their intentions

00:30:11.200 you just need not to be shot you don't need their good feelings you just need a civil society

00:30:20.320 and so like all of your body parts that don't really have anything in common and they don't

00:30:24.080 have any intention and they're just doing their thing maybe all all these people are just doing their

00:30:28.720 thing too just taking their shot when their shot is available to them and the emergent property is unity

00:30:36.320 so here's what i think i think that trump is not just reading the room he's not just being political

00:30:48.720 he has entered presidential mode meaning that he too sees that the other side is capitulated

00:30:56.080 they have realized that he's going to be their president perhaps he's realizing it too or more

00:31:01.440 importantly he's going to persuade it into existence so he may stop acting like a candidate

00:31:09.920 immediately and he might start acting like he's already your president remember he told you he

00:31:16.560 would solve the war in ukraine before he was sworn in he just had to get elected now he doesn't even

00:31:22.400 need to get elected if trump wants something to happen at this point he can already make it happen

00:31:30.160 he's already our president in our minds now we know you know there's a process and he's got to get elected

00:31:37.200 and all that but democrat and republican they know he's your president when he raised his fist

00:31:48.800 he became he became your president

00:31:51.120 well he wasn't the only thing that got shot because even though he lost an ear um and one

00:32:02.480 well two people lost their life if you count the shooter too badly injured let's not forget about that

00:32:08.720 but uh something else got assassinated it was dei dei is never going to be the same

00:32:17.920 when you think dei is making it uh let's say harder to deal with your business or maybe you lost your

00:32:23.920 promotion or something very annoying but when you see dei might have killed your president

00:32:29.520 and that is exactly what it looks like it looks like that's what happened that'll that'll wake you

00:32:36.320 up and i think that now um people can say in the fullest voice they can dei is a horrible evil process

00:32:45.600 it is brought us to the it brought us to the brink of civil war it did it literally brought us there

00:32:52.320 because if that guy had been let's say taken out earlier it would have just been a security story

00:32:58.880 imagine if they'd taken him out before he took the shot

00:33:03.360 then it's a security story and then wow they did a good job and it wouldn't change everything it would

00:33:09.280 just make you really wake up but it wouldn't change everything taking the shot changed everything

00:33:16.560 so um dei looks like it was the problem one of the dei agents uh you know how the visual is always

00:33:27.680 going to be more persuasive than anything anybody says and the visual of that one security agent who

00:33:33.440 looked like melissa mccarthy she looked like that actress who pretends to be you know an 1.00

00:33:38.880 incompetent police officer or detective looked just like an actress couldn't put her gun back in 0.99

00:33:46.320 the holster didn't look like she knew what she was there for now i don't know what she was thinking

00:33:52.000 or even if she did a good job so i'm not a judge of you know whether any of them did their job right

00:33:58.960 i'm just saying the way it looked was that she wasn't hired for her capability and you can't

00:34:05.120 get that image out of your head because the stakes were so high and you're going to see that so many times

00:34:12.640 anyway apparently biden's uh social media called trump a dictator minutes before the assassination attempt

00:34:22.080 the post said america wants a president not a dictator that was on his facebook page right before the

00:34:27.280 assassination and of course everywhere on social media you're seeing these compilation clips of all the times the democrats

00:34:33.120 and biden called trump a dictator a fascist or hitler and i'm not sure i'm not sure if the left

00:34:42.160 ever really understood how much danger they were creating but let me put it in context

00:34:49.840 i asked chat gpt this i said if somebody created a situation that they knew was likely to get somebody

00:34:57.520 killed but it was only a statistical kind of a thing it wasn't a cause and effect directly would that be

00:35:05.200 a crime is it a crime to create a situation which you knowingly created with a complete awareness that

00:35:13.600 there's a high likelihood somebody would die from it well apparently that's a crime so here's what uh

00:35:21.680 chat gvt says it says uh creating a situation that you know is likely to kill someone and then it does

00:35:28.480 result in death can be classified as something called reckless homicide or it could could be called

00:35:35.120 depraved heart murder in other words you are so uncaring that you created a situation where your

00:35:41.600 depraved heart made it happen but maybe not in a direct cause and effect way and then there's also

00:35:47.840 uh under some places it would be second degree murder now give me a fact check um fact check

00:36:00.160 was that what happened to derek chauvin i thought derek chauvin was essentially convicted

00:36:07.520 because he should have known he was creating a situation that could have led to death and he didn't

00:36:13.040 do the right things to make it not that situation so they're not saying he killed him as in i know

00:36:19.360 i'm killing you die die that would be first degree murder i guess but he did something that created a 0.90

00:36:26.480 situation that through his actions increased the odds that george floyd would die and that was enough to

00:36:34.080 put him in jail now how is that functionally different than what the democrats and the democrat

00:36:40.800 leaning media has been doing for years to me it looks crystal clear and to all of you all right

00:36:47.040 you have the same opinion that they created a situation which any reasonable person would have known

00:36:53.440 would have caused probable death now how do i know that a reasonable person would know

00:37:00.080 that what they were doing would cause death because there were so many reasonable people who said

00:37:06.560 what you're doing is going to get somebody killed i've listed them before you know it's your everybody

00:37:12.880 from tucker carlson to you know mike servich to me to molly hemingway to do you want 10 more do you

00:37:21.040 want 10 more i could give you 10 more i mean i could list them all day long all reasonable people saw this

00:37:28.000 situation and if all reasonable people can tell that this is going to get somebody killed and then somebody

00:37:34.880 gets killed

00:37:38.720 isn't that illegal based on our system now there's no reasonable way that anybody could go to jail for

00:37:46.560 it in this situation because there are too many people involved and if you created that standard then

00:37:52.480 all political speech would end up getting you know sucked into it so as a practical matter you can't really

00:37:58.640 go after anybody for it and your president and maybe your future president are both calling for unity

00:38:08.320 unity would suggest that you don't put people in jail for their political speech even if they knew

00:38:13.680 it was going to get somebody killed because it's political speech and it's too important to protect it

00:38:20.400 but if you want to know how dire it was if you want to know how reckless it was it was murder

00:38:29.280 now it might have been second degree murder and might have been called this other weird thing

00:38:33.680 depraved heart murder it might be called reckless homicide but we all recognize it in a common sense

00:38:39.040 way as murder you just watched the democrat machine with complete knowledge of what they were doing

00:38:47.520 create a murder machine that tried to execute its murder and the only thing that saved it from happening

00:38:54.880 was trump turned his head that's it but the murders still happen because a man got murdered in the in the stands

00:39:06.800 so i'm not going to forget that and i'm not going to forgive it

00:39:12.560 i can i can find unity but i will never forgive this i don't think any of you should i don't recommend

00:39:22.480 any kind of violence of course but forgiveness absolutely not no because this was done with

00:39:29.440 complete knowledge of what they're doing i like to forgive mistakes if somebody does something that's a

00:39:35.200 mistake yeah yeah i mean you don't want mistakes but i'd forgive it but if you spend years doing a

00:39:43.680 thing which you know the outcome of that thing that's likely no you don't get forgiven for doing

00:39:51.040 a plan of evil for years in a row and putting all of your energy into it no i don't forgive hitler

00:39:57.600 i don't forgive stalin and while i'm not saying that any of these people are hitler or stalin i'm

00:40:04.000 saying only in the the you know very narrow sense that there are some actions that are unforgivable

00:40:11.680 this is unforgivable what joy reid and maddow and morning joe have done to this country not not just

00:40:20.560 by themselves but with others is completely unforgivable i hope it's also unforgettable

00:40:28.160 because it's the only way we'll be able to keep any kind of unity if we ever get there so you can

00:40:35.280 you can stand down and you can tell yourself you can be the better person you can tell yourself that

00:40:41.440 for the good of the country you're not going to seek retribution and i don't think you should

00:40:45.600 but you should not forgive do not forgive that is completely inappropriate

00:40:53.200 searchlight pictures presents the roses only in theaters august 29th from the director of meet

00:41:00.560 the parents and the writer of poor things comes the roses starring academy award winner olivia coleman

00:41:06.720 academy award nominee benedict cumberbatch andy sandberg kate mckinnon and allison janney a hilarious

00:41:12.800 new comedy filled with drama excitement and a little bit of hatred proving that marriage isn't

00:41:18.320 always a bed of roses see the roses only in theaters august 29th get tickets now

00:41:27.040 all right and so you're seeing what i call play dumb week by the media i actually watched in horror

00:41:34.000 as a host on msnbc said she was trying to understand what would radicalize people to be

00:41:42.400 like this what what would cause that shooter to be willing to do what he did and i watched that and

00:41:49.280 i said are you really going to tell me right to my face you don't know that you did it not you

00:41:54.960 personally but you collectively radicalizing your base to violence you didn't know that was happening

00:42:03.200 of course you knew of course you knew you got exactly what you hoped would happen in your fantasy

00:42:09.520 of politics they wanted him taken out um so you're going to see them all act like they're confused

00:42:18.720 about why the public has no unity they're all confused and it may be because of what trump has said

00:42:26.160 now does trump cause some disunity yes does he did he uh cause the kind of disunity that should get him

00:42:33.840 shot no no because if you took that standard then everybody who got raped had it coming everybody who

00:42:43.040 had a wallet should get robbed everybody who had a door you could kick down should get you know home

00:42:50.480 invaded everybody who had a car with windows at break should get you know should get their car stolen no

00:42:57.280 no no we have to have a system that's a little more proximate than that and if one group is saying

00:43:03.280 you are a person who should be killed that's what hillary is a person who should be killed that is 0.99

00:43:08.880 different from saying there are too many criminals coming into the country those are not the same and

00:43:14.800 all of the efforts to both sides it are just ass covering because the journalists are literally

00:43:21.120 concerned about being killed speaking of wit jen saki said i'm scared for journalists after trump's

00:43:28.560 assassination attempt the daily wire is reporting that now don't be violent i have to say that first

00:43:40.560 there's no call for violence you're probably going to get everything you want without it

00:43:45.280 so violence would be really stupid really stupid don't do anything to any journalists but should 0.74

00:43:52.080 they be scared fuck yes they should be scared they should be scared all the way down to their boots

00:43:59.200 they should be shaking they should know exactly what they did to the country and they should be

00:44:03.840 fucking scared don't touch them don't touch them don't touch a hair on their heads or you're the 0.97

00:44:11.760 asshole don't be like them don't be like them don't be like them let them live with what they've done 0.79

00:44:24.320 let them live with it they know what they did and they should be afraid of being killed don't kill them

00:44:30.480 don't touch them don't do any violence absolutely not but should they be afraid yes everybody who does

00:44:38.000 something like that should be afraid they should be afraid they should be very afraid don't do it again

00:44:45.120 just don't do it again we can find unity it can be done and we're willing to do it don't be like that

00:44:55.120 don't become them

00:44:58.640 van jones is uh sane uh he's he's usually the sane one now of course he's biased for his team and that's

00:45:05.920 fine because he wears his bias publicly right i don't mind anybody who's biased and says i'm biased

00:45:12.240 you know i'm from my team so here's what i think it's good for my team that's fine that's politics

00:45:17.600 perfectly acceptable no problem with it so and van jones is always in that category for me that even

00:45:23.920 when i don't like the politics even when i think he may be stretched a point a little bit i'm like oh

00:45:29.200 that's fine you're not crazy you don't hate me that's different all right here's what he says he

00:45:35.680 says america dodged a bullet last night if that thing had been a quarter inch over you'd have you'd 1.00

00:45:40.960 have had an assassination half of the country would have felt the other half of the country took their

00:45:46.160 leader that is correct van jones half of the country would not have said that was a lone shooter

00:45:54.800 because it wasn't that was a shooter who was rattled radicalized by the bad forces on one side of the

00:46:03.280 country we would have seen it as you killed our leader that's exactly how we would have seen it so

00:46:09.920 that's that is an accurate assessment and he said you would have had millions of people ready to shoot back

00:46:15.520 let me clarify not as citizens

00:46:24.560 there's no republican who wanted to go out and just start shooting democrats

00:46:28.880 did anybody think that yeah that would be such a complete fundamental misunderstanding of what a

00:46:34.640 republican or a conservative or a trump supporter is that would be a complete misunderstanding no we don't

00:46:40.320 want to kill citizens citizens are the ones we like even the ones we disagree with right we like 0.90

00:46:48.480 the democrats we like americans we like americans if you're american and you're not bothering us

00:46:57.120 nobody wants to shoot you we'll protect you we'll we'll prevent somebody from shooting you

00:47:02.640 if we can no we weren't going after any citizens were there any you know players who were especially

00:47:10.880 bad who might have to worry about legal action i don't know maybe but it would be special cases it's

00:47:17.840 not like a it's not like some general roundup of anything there's no energy for that even if trump

00:47:24.640 had been assassinated it wasn't going to be killing people in the streets there's no energy for that there's

00:47:30.240 no reason nobody's talked about it nobody thinks about it it's not a thing but i do think that

00:47:37.120 when the press talks about it there's a little bit of an acknowledgement that they're the cause

00:47:43.920 because they are people and i've said this a million times but it's more obvious now than ever

00:47:50.320 citizens don't get their opinions by looking at facts and thinking and coming up with their own 1.00

00:47:55.840 point of view our political opinions are assigned from somebody if some place it's from the media

00:48:03.840 now probably the you know the the parties have something to do with what the media says but the

00:48:08.400 media is a brainwasher the citizens don't come up with their own opinions that's not a thing so of course

00:48:15.680 the citizens would be mad at whoever radicalized this guy to kill their leader of course they would

00:48:22.400 and the press would be in great danger now if the president had been shot would there have been

00:48:28.560 violence against the press i don't know i know there wouldn't have been violence against just regular

00:48:36.720 democrats who are just being regular people who disagree that's not a thing but would the press have

00:48:43.600 been seen as the murderer well they would have been the murderer i don't know if anybody would have

00:48:50.000 acted on it it would have been foolish and i very much don't recommend it no violence no violence no

00:48:57.760 violence don't become them you don't have to they've disgraced themselves their own actions will take care

00:49:04.240 of this right just shine some light on it until the cockroaches have to you know do what they do now 0.96

00:49:13.360 all right um now some people are still hanging tough reed hoffman tried to both sides it and make

00:49:21.120 it sound like well you know trump's got some bad rhetoric too nope we're not buying it and i don't

00:49:28.240 know what's up with reed hoffman and some of the other you know famous people who are saying things that

00:49:34.880 look like it's their job now reed hoffman's a billionaire doesn't need a job but he acts like

00:49:42.480 this is his job meaning he's either getting paid for it which doesn't make sense because he's already

00:49:48.080 a billionaire so he wouldn't do it for the money or he's being blackmailed so i'll go with the default

00:49:55.760 the default assumption is blackmail he does have some epstein island connections which there's no no

00:50:02.080 indication that he did anything illegal on epstein island or anything else there's no indication of

00:50:07.440 any illegality but the way he acts is so off model that it's being driven by something we don't

00:50:15.200 understand so if it's not being driven by money and i don't think it is it's being driven by something

00:50:23.200 it's not being driven by mental illness because he clearly doesn't have any it's not being driven

00:50:29.600 by his own let's say lack of intelligence he's brilliant he's not even just ordinary smart he's

00:50:36.720 super smart right so whatever is driving him from the outside it looks like blackmail that's what it

00:50:45.040 looks like and indeed i think that a whole bunch of what we don't understand about why things are the

00:50:50.000 way they are is blackmail i believe that um the easily blackmailed become important parts of the system

00:50:57.840 because they're easily blackmailed and if you happen to have billions of dollars and you're you know good

00:51:03.680 at stuff as he is the odds of getting blackmailed are probably through the roof how many do you how

00:51:10.960 many times do you think that people have tried to blackmail elon musk a lot i'll bet you a lot

00:51:18.960 apparently there were two attempts on his life this year two attempts that were thwarted yeah you

00:51:26.960 don't think anybody's trying to blackmail him of course they are of course they are anybody who could

00:51:32.960 blackmail him would have a lot of power so yeah i think we live in a blackmail system and anytime you

00:51:40.240 see something like this um you know whether it's rob reiner or stephen king or any of the ones who don't

00:51:47.040 look like they're acting rationally um you should at least suspect that somebody got to them don't

00:51:54.240 know can't can't know for sure it's just what it looks like all right um george takai who used to

00:52:03.760 play sulu in the old star trek you know him he said trump remains an existential threat to democracy

00:52:10.000 will defeat him with ballots not bullets george

00:52:20.080 you know until this very moment i had been quite supportive of him because he's funny

00:52:26.240 and i liked him as an actor and i think he's you know has a good heart but uh you're gonna have to

00:52:33.440 do better than this george if you don't understand this calling him an existential threat to democracy

00:52:39.600 increases the chance of death you need to shut the fuck up for well i don't want to say forever 0.83

00:52:47.280 because that sounds bad you need to get off social media because you're not part of the solution my

00:52:54.160 friend you are part of the fucking problem you need to take this attitude and shove it right up your 0.99

00:53:01.040 fucking ass and get out of here because your party called for unity trump called for unity 0.98

00:53:10.800 you're the assholes trying to ruin it and we don't need your weird fear about the end of the democracy

00:53:17.200 that's weak thinking if you can't even think strong maybe you're not helping all right think a

00:53:25.120 little bit better and maybe you can help over at abc news martha raddatz uh seems to be blaming uh 1.00

00:53:36.480 blaming it on trump's rhetoric you're gonna see more of that they're gonna test that out

00:53:40.880 to blame trump and let me just say that anybody who's blaming trump after a bullet took off his ear

00:53:46.240 you're the biggest pieces of shits of the world i mean you are real scum you're evil at a level that

00:53:55.520 i can't even understand and if you want to be that big a piece of shit martha raddatz and everybody else 1.00

00:54:03.520 who's going to take this approach just know that being you is the penalty you know what my revenge is

00:54:10.960 is to martha raddatz and she has to wake up as martha raddatz tomorrow whatever that is it ain't good

00:54:20.240 it ain't good do i want any rest rest i don't know revenge nope i don't need more revenge than the

00:54:28.720 fact that i'm not fucking martha raddatz i don't need more revenge than i'm not george takai i don't 0.99

00:54:34.960 need more revenge than i'm not fucking joe scarborough or joy reed or 0.99

00:54:41.280 fucking piece of shit rachel maddow that's my revenge my revenge is i get to wake up every 0.98

00:54:47.680 day and be the one that they they canceled that they canceled which feels pretty damn good

00:54:55.600 now of course uh the big controversy is uh why the heck was this the secret service not as effective as

00:55:03.120 they could be of course dei is part of the story uh if you think it's not part of the story you

00:55:08.880 haven't been paying attention it's not just a political opportunity where people could say

00:55:16.080 dei is bad it really was part of the story now now we've learned that these were not the a team

00:55:24.720 and there were a lot of attempts people were borrowed from the department of homeland security

00:55:30.560 and may not have been up to the job may have been a different training you know maybe they

00:55:34.560 didn't work together we've heard things about the con being bad maybe the cop couldn't get to him

00:55:40.640 i heard people saying that the police officer who saw him on the roof um should have done more

00:55:46.880 it sounds like he ran away that didn't happen my understanding is that the police officer climbed up

00:55:54.080 the ladder when his head went up you know so he could be seen the shooter aimed his gun at him

00:56:00.400 he ducked down and then the guy started shooting at trump so there wasn't really any time for that cop

00:56:07.200 to react i mean he just ducked and then the shooting started so i don't think he's the bad guy

00:56:13.200 i think he might be closer to a good guy who didn't didn't do what he wanted to do i mean he acted

00:56:18.640 he saw a threat he acted all right that's what you wanted right you saw a threat and he went toward it

00:56:26.160 you don't need him to keep his head up when the gun is pointing at it you don't need that so i hope

00:56:33.840 i hope that that policeman gets the credit that i think he deserves right we're still in the fog of

00:56:38.720 war don't know don't know everything but at the moment i think i would i would pull back from hating on

00:56:47.840 that one because he may have been the the one who did exactly what he should have done in that

00:56:52.080 situation he just didn't have time to stop it and we don't know exactly why the

00:56:59.760 sharp shooters didn't take the shot when we think they could have seen it lots will come out

00:57:07.040 let's wait for see if we can find out we do suspect the worst that maybe he had some kind of

00:57:14.720 incompetent leadership that told him not to fire if he had incompetent leadership that told him not

00:57:21.680 to fire i i heard one rumor that the rule was he couldn't fire unless the shooter fired first

00:57:28.880 that doesn't sound believable so i i'm a little worried about anything that i see

00:57:35.360 on on this story i don't believe that would be the rule and if somebody points a gun at a president

00:57:43.040 you have to wait till they shoot no i'm pretty sure that's not the rule so don't believe anything you

00:57:48.880 hear on that yet um the fbi says they can't get into the shooter's cell phone

00:58:00.640 don't don't make me say it don't make me say it i'm gonna say it oh you're gonna make me say it

00:58:08.800 the fbi admits they can't open the shooter's cell phone

00:58:16.560 really

00:58:19.520 really really

00:58:22.000 really

00:58:25.360 do i need to say anything else it is very deeper dive that is needed other than

00:58:30.480 really does anybody think that that sounds okay

00:58:38.720 no no i'm sorry

00:58:42.560 i don't believe any of that so uh i don't know what's going on but i certainly don't believe that

00:58:49.840 that remember the fbi is a low credibility organization um at the moment because of leadership

00:58:56.560 if a low credibility place tells you a thing that you know is possible is impossible what should

00:59:03.440 be your assumption guilt yeah my assumption is that the fbi probably doesn't want you to know

00:59:11.280 what's on the phone no i don't know that's true don't know it but what would be the reasonable

00:59:18.160 assumption that there's one phone in the world that they can't hack

00:59:21.840 i don't know um maybe maybe

00:59:30.400 apparently there's a movie i think the daily caller is behind it called rig

00:59:34.640 and it would be on the topic of the 2020 election and they say big tech is uh interfering and google

00:59:42.240 is censoring it again oh surprise massive censorship again in the media landscape

00:59:49.920 but thanks to x at least there's some uh pushback um so let me tell you if that movie ever becomes

01:00:01.520 available i don't know if it's i don't know if it's available yet they're complaining about the social

01:00:06.480 media but i didn't see if it's available as soon as it's available i'm going to watch it

01:00:11.040 um but beware of the documentary effect beware of the documentary effect all right so it's a documentary

01:00:20.000 which by its description seems to be a story where they'll show you that the election was rigged in ways

01:00:27.040 you don't know about it's a documentary it will be convincing do you know why it's a documentary

01:00:35.280 what about all the facts that they're going to show you that's the reason it's convincing right

01:00:40.400 nope it's a documentary that's why it's convincing if they can make you sit there for an hour watching

01:00:47.280 one point of view with no counterpoints you will be convinced likewise if somebody makes a documentary

01:00:53.440 to show that our elections were perfect in 2020 and you sat there for an hour and you watched it you

01:00:59.360 would come away thinking you know actually i'm convinced those elections were pristine you will

01:01:04.560 be convinced that it was rigged if you watch a movie or a documentary called rigged you all get that

01:01:12.720 right that if you think you're going to watch a documentary called rigged and you're going to

01:01:18.960 come away knowing if it was rigged that's not what's going to happen it's not designed that way

01:01:25.520 the design of a documentary is to make you think what the documentary wants you to think

01:01:30.480 it's not to make you understand what's reality now it could be the same sometimes the documentary

01:01:36.480 does in fact have the grasp on reality and that you didn't have it before and then it gives it to

01:01:41.280 you and that could be exactly what's happening but i wouldn't believe it because it was believable

01:01:48.640 that's the question at the end of it you're going to say well you know scott said

01:01:53.680 i'm going to be persuaded but honestly i'm not persuaded because it's a documentary i'm

01:01:58.160 persuaded because they had the goods they showed their evidence they showed the people they showed

01:02:02.880 the documents it's very clear no i'm convinced because the evidence don't fall for that

01:02:11.200 don't fall for that you're convinced because it's a documentary if you lose sight of that

01:02:16.880 you can be convinced of anything because the very next documentary could be complete

01:02:21.440 bullshit and you'll be like yup yup looks good to me don't see any counterpoint 0.78

01:02:26.800 now i happen to think that the rigged movie is probably closer to true than not

01:02:31.840 that's my bias but that's just a bias

01:02:34.000 so just be just wear your uh intellectual armor when you watch any documentary whether it's this

01:02:42.160 one or not i guess that's a good enough commercial isn't it that wasn't a commercial announcement but

01:02:48.880 if but if i ever gave you a better reason to watch a documentary i don't think i have

01:03:55.440 all right uh you do recall that alex jones was sued for saying the sandy hook was staged right

01:04:02.160 remember that he lost everything billion dollars he got sued for lost his business reputation

01:04:08.800 because he suggested that the sandy hook shooting was not what it looked like

01:04:15.200 and that caused stress for the family members and they successfully sued and he lost everything

01:04:22.320 now it turns out that a whole bunch of people on the left and apparently this is a big trend are

01:04:28.960 saying that the attempted assassination of trump was not real it was staged by trump

01:04:34.480 and then somebody was a sharpshooter and shot his ear and carefully made sure that they didn't do any

01:04:42.240 worse than shooting his ear now i saw a guest on cnn last night say that that was just batshit crazy

01:04:51.680 which is a good sign now i don't know if that if that guest leaned left or right it was someone that

01:04:56.480 i hadn't seen before but he was somebody who was speaking with authority and said no that's that is crazy

01:05:04.480 that's not something you should entertain nobody set up nobody sets up a deal where their ear gets

01:05:10.480 shot from 150 feet away by a guy who got rejected from his shooting club in school because he wasn't

01:05:17.760 good at shooting no nobody goes to the 20 year old and by the way uh well let me just finish this point

01:05:25.680 so some say that uh all those people saying that it was a setup and it was staged would be causing

01:05:32.480 some kind of some kind of trauma to people and could they sue now i'm not in favor of that i'm just

01:05:39.360 saying that why did alex jones get sued for this if it doesn't apply here why does the law only apply

01:05:46.960 in some cases is somebody above the law because i was told reliably nobody's above the law now i don't

01:05:54.480 think that the sandy hook thing should have been successful because i think that alex jones was saying

01:06:00.080 something he thought was true and then it wasn't that's my take i think he thought it was true

01:06:07.200 because he doesn't seem to say a lot of things that you could tell he knows are not true

01:06:11.680 if you watch you know msnbc it does seem like they're saying things that maybe they don't think

01:06:18.160 is true but i don't get that from alex jones i think he may be wrong sometimes but he sure looks like

01:06:26.880 he believes it should you be sued for being aggressively wrong in your opinion i don't think

01:06:33.520 that's right i don't think it's right even if it upset somebody terribly um so i would say that neither

01:06:43.920 neither cases should be subject for lawsuits but uh you have to wonder why one is and one isn't

01:06:50.320 i would like to also point out uh the following if you believed as the left does that this might

01:07:00.880 have been a staged thing that's as crazy as believing that um the democrats were somehow

01:07:08.400 behind the shooter and let and let me let me tell you if you hadn't thought of this

01:07:12.960 let me tell you why it's obvious so if you believe that let's say the the deep state or somebody

01:07:22.640 was working with this 20 year old nobody picks a 20 year old to do something like that do you know why

01:07:31.440 you can't trust a 20 year old to do anything if you were gonna work out with some kind of clever

01:07:38.800 assassination plot you'd go for late 20s early 30s maybe older because you'd have somebody who would

01:07:46.720 actually know what they're doing and then you'd say well not only could you get away with this because

01:07:51.600 you know what you're doing but um you know we think we can shut you up afterwards and all the

01:07:59.360 all the trail will be covered nobody gets a 20 year old who is bullied and says why don't you become

01:08:06.640 part of my clever plan you wouldn't be part of trump's clever plan to shoot his own ear

01:08:12.720 ridiculous and he wouldn't be part of the cia's plan because they're never going to use an asset

01:08:17.760 that would be that undependable a 20 year old who was bullied with mental problems not a chance not a

01:08:25.600 chance now the the more likely and obvious explanation is he just got radicalized by the media

01:08:33.680 which would include tick tock reels and wherever else he was watching we don't know what he watched

01:08:38.880 and um one reason that you could imagine if the fbi is lying about their access to his phone and his

01:08:47.520 social media you could imagine somebody in the fbi and leadership you could imagine it i'm not saying

01:08:54.800 it happened you could imagine that if that person was radicalized by specific people in the media

01:09:00.720 that the fbi might say this is where we're not going to give you any transparency

01:09:09.520 now i'm not going to name a name as an example but you know fill in the name with your own example

01:09:14.480 suppose they found on the phone that he was an obsessive listener to a specific kind of content

01:09:19.760 with a specific host i don't want the fbi to tell me that do you know why

01:09:25.520 because that would paint a target on that host back and as despicable as i think many people in

01:09:34.320 the media have been you don't want to paint a target on somebody's back i don't want to see any

01:09:40.240 anybody get hurt even if they did terrible terrible things i need the legal system to do what it does and

01:09:46.080 i need to stay out of it and the citizens need to stay out of it anyway um

01:09:54.320 rasmussen did a poll on hand counted ballots and says that a lot of people believe the paper ballots

01:10:00.800 are more trustworthy and here's the interesting part a majority of people they surveyed a majority

01:10:07.680 said they'd volunteer to count ballots and you know it was the first thing i thought

01:10:12.240 i'd do that i i would i would volunteer do you know what would really bring the country together

01:10:19.840 you want some unity stand shoulder to shoulder with me and help me count ballots

01:10:26.560 and disagree with me about everything but help me count ballots if i could count ballots with you

01:10:34.640 we're going to find unity it's the same reason that i recommend that you don't try to get out of

01:10:40.320 jury duty there's sometimes you might need to get out of it but you should make it a goal like visiting

01:10:48.800 mecca right it's practically a religious experience other people say the same thing when you see the

01:10:56.800 seriousness of your fellow citizens to get it right to get it right it changes you you don't you come

01:11:06.720 away from that thinking wow we do have this one thing that protects us the one thing is if you

01:11:14.720 put 12 citizens in a room who have been vetted to be on the jury they're going to try hard to get it

01:11:20.960 right and i saw it with my own eyes now i think in the extreme political situations it still breaks

01:11:27.600 you know the trump situation but for everything else they might be right on their verdicts and they

01:11:33.440 might be wrong but boy did they try to get it right they really try to get it right and if you

01:11:38.240 haven't experienced somebody trying really hard to get it right for other citizens they're trying to get

01:11:46.960 it right for the victims but they're also trying to get it right for the accused because the accused isn't

01:11:52.720 always guilty so you have to have that experience and a lot of people won't

01:11:59.360 now the nearest thing that i could think of that would connect you to the you know the process that

01:12:07.360 is what makes america america would be counting ballots i want to stand with you shoulder to

01:12:13.040 shoulder and count ballots at the same time you did one one two two etc that's how you get unity

01:12:24.400 unity unity is from working together even on something trivial like counting ballots do you

01:12:32.080 know why people who have been in the military together become best friends for life even if

01:12:37.120 one's a democrat one's a republican wouldn't make any difference because the experience unity comes from

01:12:44.880 shared activity and that shared activity if it's around the country's you know core beliefs

01:12:51.520 is going to be your strongest unity so um 38 of likely voters um think hand marked ballots are more

01:13:00.960 trustworthy than the touchscreens 16 say they're less trustworthy look at that you couldn't even get 25

01:13:09.120 of the country to say that they're less trustworthy and i always joke that 25 get everything wrong

01:13:14.720 could even get 25 and uh about 41 think it's about equal that's not bad you know i think they're wrong

01:13:27.920 but it's not crazy to think well maybe they're about the same

01:13:33.440 all right here's something that uh naval ravikant advises us and let me tell you something about

01:13:41.200 naval if it's the first time you've heard his name uh you have no exposure i can tell you what other

01:13:47.200 people already know when he says something you should stop what you're doing and listen to it

01:13:54.240 because it's going to be different from what you've heard and it's going to be almost always the

01:13:59.200 better take probably could be the strong the smartest person i know um and he has uh just three

01:14:07.840 sentences these are the three takeaways if you get these three things right then all the other

01:14:16.480 things that look like they're going to take you down you will be protected against

01:14:22.240 here's naval's three things resist censorship resist lawfare resist disarmament everything else is

01:14:32.560 downstream that's all you needed to know that that's the fight there are three vectors of the fight

01:14:53.600 stay armed resist lawfare make sure you keep your free speech if you have those three things

01:15:00.000 the public has some power if you lose those three or any of them then fascism is guaranteed

01:15:13.680 well i'd like to end with uh some uh politics some uh some science there's a new way to screen for

01:15:22.320 drunk drivers using ai when you're in the car so now the ai in your car potentially it's not there yet

01:15:29.680 will be able to scan you and it will look for signs of intoxication and it says it can find that

01:15:35.760 you're drunk with 75 accuracy i'd love to see that used on um kamala harris do you think you could

01:15:45.680 create an ai they were just looking at somebody's mannerisms compared to their baseline and tell you

01:15:50.640 if they're drunk yeah of course you could do you think you could do that on kamala harris

01:15:57.040 if you looked at some speeches where she clearly wasn't and then you looked at some where she's 0.73

01:16:01.920 going crazy about school buses and venn diagrams and laughing like a hyena yeah you could i believe

01:16:08.560 that ai could determine that she's drunk i think so um but this gets me halfway to what i really need

01:16:17.760 what i want is ai that can tell me if i accidentally got decaf um you know that the other day i accidentally

01:16:24.800 had decaf i didn't look at the little coffee pod closely enough and i thought that i was dying from

01:16:30.560 long covet and it wasn't until i realized oh my god i'd accidentally poisoned myself with decaf and i

01:16:37.280 corrected it and i was on the mend well i need ai to tell me that and uh do you think you could tell

01:16:43.440 if if i've got my caffeine well this is me with caffeine would you like to see my impression of

01:16:50.480 me without caffeine all right i'll read the same story without caffeine so there's a there's a

01:16:58.640 some kind of a story about uh what is this about uh some driving about the driving and the uh scanning

01:17:06.480 in the cars with the uh what are they using some kind of a some kind of an ai robert mitchum

01:17:13.520 again i'm stealing dana carvey's joke where he makes fun of uh joe biden by throwing in robert

01:17:19.120 mitchum into his babble talk so please tell me if i've had decaf there was a meta-analysis of 180 studies

01:17:30.160 that seemed to confirm that women experience the thing called imposter syndrome more frequently

01:17:35.680 than men wow a meta-analysis of 180 studies how about that so i did a meta-analysis on meta-analyses

01:17:46.240 and if you do a meta-analysis on meta-analyses you will determine that meta-analyses are not a

01:17:53.360 science they're not logical and they're not credible they're complete bullshit that they sold to you as

01:17:59.840 a science they're basically the credibility of astrology because with meta-analysis you get to

01:18:06.240 pick which things are in your study and which are not and you usually say things like oh this one's a

01:18:10.960 bad study i'll throw it away and then maybe one of your studies is much bigger than the others you

01:18:15.760 just throw it in and you don't know that it completely that one study basically moves the

01:18:20.720 statistical treatment completely and if that one was bad they're all bad because it overwhelmed the

01:18:26.640 small ones because they took an average meta-analysis is not real every time you see meta-analysis

01:18:34.480 in a story it means they didn't use science it doesn't mean they use extra science it doesn't

01:18:41.040 mean it's deluxe science because meta-analysis sounds like wow it's not just science it's layers of

01:18:48.800 science i mean i started with some science the one study but then i added some science and then i added

01:18:54.800 some science on top of that and i added some more science and then you won't even believe this but

01:19:00.880 i wrapped it in a ball of science called meta-analysis and now i have more science than anybody ever had

01:19:07.760 science believe me believe me people science no meta-analysis is not real it's something they do

01:19:16.480 but you shouldn't believe it there's a drug that might reverse diabetes uh let me read it to you

01:19:25.840 like i didn't have caffeine uh something about mice i don't know something about mice but it's kind of

01:19:31.520 cool to think that they they're scientists who could make the diabetes and mice go away

01:19:37.120 um as you probably know if you watch my show a lot the odds of going from a mouse study to hey this

01:19:46.080 works in people too is actually really low i think the mice are good at telling you if you die

01:19:52.320 they're not good at telling you a drug works they're pretty good at telling you if it's toxic

01:19:57.040 you know not completely good at it but uh don't confuse the mouse studies with reality don't confuse meta-analysis

01:20:05.280 with science and whatever you do don't believe that prediction models about climate change

01:20:11.360 are science because it's not it's adjacent to science very much not science

01:20:19.440 all right that's what i got for you today i'm going to go talk to

01:20:24.160 um you're going to talk to the locals people privately thanks for joining you're the best see
