Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2572 CWSA 08⧸20⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.220 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.620 And today, if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand

00:00:17.500 with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass,

00:00:22.360 a tank or gel, syshton, a canteen, jerker, flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with

00:00:26.740 your favorite liquid.

00:00:27.580 I like coffee.

00:00:28.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine at the end of the day, the thing

00:00:33.180 that makes everything better.

00:00:34.620 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now, damn it.

00:00:37.480 Go.

00:00:42.460 Oh, divine.

00:00:46.220 So, so good.

00:00:48.040 Well, today, I have a special guest.

00:00:50.360 I'm going to bring on author Joel Pollack, who's got a new book called The Agenda, What Trump

00:00:56.160 should do in his first 100 days.

00:00:57.800 And if my technology works the way I know it will.

00:01:02.080 There you are, Joel.

00:01:03.300 Good morning.

00:01:04.260 Good morning.

00:01:06.660 Wait.

00:01:08.420 We don't have sound.

00:01:10.760 Did you turn off your sound?

00:01:12.600 No, I'm still here.

00:01:13.420 Hopefully, you can.

00:01:14.060 Oh, good.

00:01:14.680 Yeah.

00:01:15.680 Problem was on my end, as usual.

00:01:18.520 Well, good morning.

00:01:20.140 It's great to see you.

00:01:21.340 Good morning from Chicago, Illinois.

00:01:23.060 I'm usually in L.A., but I'm here covering the Democratic National Convention.

00:01:27.780 So.

00:01:28.360 Have you run into any protesters who threatened your life yet?

00:01:32.580 No, but they tried to block me from walking down the street at one point, and I just told

00:01:38.120 them not to do that.

00:01:39.500 And they're not a particularly intimidating bunch, so they.

00:01:46.200 That's the best riot story I've heard.

00:01:48.620 It's like, you can't go here.

00:01:50.460 No, I think I will go here.

00:01:52.220 Oh, OK.

00:01:53.560 Yeah.

00:01:53.940 I was doing a live stream, and one of the guys in the yellow jerseys who was from the

00:01:58.900 protesters was wearing an outfit.

00:02:01.880 I didn't really want to do this, and I don't like to make fun of people's appearance, but

00:02:06.820 I just panned the camera down because he was wearing these rolled-up jean shorts and

00:02:12.260 these loafers without socks, so he had these, like, very thin legs, and I just thought,

00:02:17.240 you know, people need to see exactly what's going on here.

00:02:19.480 This is not exactly the Chicago Bears defensive line.

00:02:24.620 Yes.

00:02:25.440 If things turn dark, it'll end soon.

00:02:29.260 Hey, let's talk about your book.

00:02:32.040 Do you have an image of your book?

00:02:33.800 It's so brand new.

00:02:34.640 It just came out today that I, there it is.

00:02:37.020 It's called The Agenda, What Trump Should Do in His First 100 Days.

00:02:40.400 Now, my audience knows that I don't normally have a guess unless it's something pretty

00:02:45.140 interesting and special to me.

00:02:48.660 So I got to, you let me look at the book ahead of time before publication.

00:02:53.020 It's one of the few books that actually has impressed me, and it's because I got a feeling

00:02:59.820 from it, like I got a feeling of optimism in politics that I've not experienced really

00:03:07.040 in a long time, maybe since 2016 or something.

00:03:10.240 And so your book, if I can describe it, is 200 suggestions of what Trump could do in his

00:03:16.700 first 100 days?

00:03:18.360 And that would include executive orders and, and other things that a president can do.

00:03:23.780 Yes.

00:03:24.340 And, you know, you're feeling a sense of optimism, partly because I'm reflecting your optimism.

00:03:29.640 You've inspired me in so many ways, including in writing this book.

00:03:32.780 So I'll tell you the story of how this book came about, but you'll really see that I'm

00:03:36.460 applying the Scott Adams approach to life here.

00:03:38.680 So I was watching Trump get convicted in New York, and like a lot of people, not just Trump

00:03:45.400 supporters, I was frustrated.

00:03:47.000 I was angry.

00:03:47.820 I hung my flag upside down outside my house for a few weeks, and I made some nasty social

00:03:52.660 media posts, and I still felt angry.

00:03:55.100 And I thought, you know, this is not the way I like to live.

00:03:58.240 And certainly in the decade almost now that I've been watching you, I've learned you don't

00:04:03.380 have to live that way.

00:04:04.420 You can actually get into the interface for reality and think about a more positive direction.

00:04:11.000 So I thought, okay, let me do something positive.

00:04:13.580 Let me think about what happens if Trump wins?

00:04:16.120 What happens if he overcomes all these prosecutions and the media bias and everything?

00:04:20.880 What does that feel like?

00:04:22.260 So I fast forwarded in my mind to January 20th, 2025, imagining that Trump had won the election.

00:04:28.760 What next?

00:04:29.760 And then I realized he had to come in with a very strong agenda of things he could do

00:04:34.300 right away, because the media narrative would shift from the election and the transition,

00:04:38.800 and it would just be on day one, Trump's a lame duck.

00:04:42.760 He can't run for reelection.

00:04:44.240 Let's talk about the candidates for 2028.

00:04:46.360 It would be Gavin Newsom for four years, and they would drown out Trump.

00:04:49.860 So he had to come in with something really big and a list of things he could do right

00:04:55.400 away and get them all done as soon as possible without waiting for Congress, without waiting

00:04:59.340 for Democrats and Republicans to figure themselves out.

00:05:01.940 So I wrote the book that way, and I go issue by issue, point by point with suggestions and

00:05:07.460 ideas.

00:05:08.540 And I think you feel optimistic when you read it, because I felt optimistic when I wrote

00:05:13.640 it.

00:05:13.800 It really pulled me out of the morass of the polls and court cases, and it just painted a

00:05:21.500 picture of the future.

00:05:22.720 And I think the future is very bright, potentially.

00:05:24.640 So that's why I wrote the agenda.

00:05:27.460 Yeah, it sounds like you had an experience that I have every now and then where I remember

00:05:31.900 I'm an adult.

00:05:34.940 You grow up in the country, and you think you're just an observer, right?

00:05:39.160 You're taught you can't do much.

00:05:40.820 But then you look around, you go, wait a minute, I've got a podcast.

00:05:44.080 You've got a big platform at Breitbart, and you're an author.

00:05:47.060 You can actually change things.

00:05:48.500 So you write this book, I read it, and I'd love for you to give some examples, things

00:05:56.900 that Trump could do without getting too much approval from other people that would just

00:06:01.940 be commonsensical.

00:06:03.980 I mean, that's what I reacted to.

00:06:05.880 It's like, my God, these are all just common sense.

00:06:08.280 Can you give us some examples for the audience?

00:06:11.000 Yes.

00:06:11.280 Well, some of them are simply reversing bad things that Biden has done.

00:06:15.700 Biden came in and reversed a lot of Trump's policies on immigration, for example.

00:06:20.540 So Trump can immediately restore the border wall project.

00:06:24.100 He can restore Remain in Mexico. 0.99

00:06:26.220 And those policies will immediately tighten the border and have a huge impact.

00:06:30.520 But he can do also other things as well.

00:06:32.560 He can, for example, he can suspend student visas from China because of the fentanyl problem.

00:06:39.280 He can say to China, and you've said this many times, hey, if you're not going to stop 0.99

00:06:43.340 producing fentanyl, we're not going to let Chinese students study in the United States 1.00

00:06:47.040 anymore.

00:06:47.700 Donald Trump can do that himself.

00:06:49.120 He doesn't need Congress to do that.

00:06:50.360 He can stop that right away.

00:06:52.200 And there are so many other examples of things he can do.

00:06:55.220 One thing I think he should do that I know you've also mentioned is release all of the

00:06:59.540 nonviolent January 6th protesters.

00:07:01.760 You know, we have political prisoners in this country.

00:07:04.320 And it's not just about Republicans and about January 6th.

00:07:09.180 It's about the rule of law.

00:07:10.240 People have lost confidence in the impartiality of the Department of Justice and the justice

00:07:15.080 system in general.

00:07:16.340 And you need to restore that.

00:07:17.940 The other suggestion is you've got to punish people who did things that were wrong.

00:07:25.440 Oops, we lost our sound for a moment.

00:07:28.880 You got sound?

00:07:31.360 How did we lose sound?

00:07:34.320 Oops, I just lost the signal.

00:07:37.600 Looks like it might be a Wi-Fi problem.

00:07:40.760 Maybe on Joel's end?

00:07:42.700 No, I'm here.

00:07:43.460 I'm good.

00:07:44.120 Oh, no.

00:07:44.680 I got your back.

00:07:45.400 All right.

00:07:46.000 Continue.

00:07:48.260 Oh, I lost you again.

00:07:49.940 So I'm losing the signal, not just the audio.

00:07:52.940 So you're freezing.

00:07:54.720 Yeah.

00:07:55.560 So I was just...

00:07:56.320 Oh, I think we may have a bad hotel Wi-Fi issue here.

00:08:07.060 I'm here if you can see me and hear me.

00:08:10.440 Yeah, I can intermittently.

00:08:11.940 Okay, well, let's keep going and see how we should.

00:08:16.660 Go ahead.

00:08:16.980 So one of the other things Trump needs to do is punish people who've broken the law.

00:08:22.760 And one of the suggestions that Steve Bannon in particular liked, he wrote the forward for

00:08:27.180 the book.

00:08:27.580 I didn't ask him to.

00:08:28.440 He simply did it.

00:08:29.640 It was the last thing he wrote before he went to prison.

00:08:31.380 But one of the suggestions is to revoke the security clearance of all 51 of the national

00:08:36.560 security officials who signed that letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian

00:08:41.520 disinformation.

00:08:42.380 I mean, they've abused the public.

00:08:43.940 So that's just some of them.

00:08:45.960 But there are over 200 suggestions in the book.

00:08:49.160 Now, give me some that are maybe not as obvious as, you know, we would have guessed something

00:08:55.720 about immigration and rule of law.

00:08:57.900 But what are some things that maybe people didn't see coming that you just thought were

00:09:02.420 a good idea?

00:09:03.840 Well, you've advocated for this, and this is in the book, develop a national bicycle trail.

00:09:08.980 And this is a section about the environment.

00:09:12.120 You know, there are things Trump can do to restore a sense of national unity.

00:09:15.860 And the environment and national parks are part of that.

00:09:19.140 And you don't need to extend federal authority over more pieces of land.

00:09:23.140 But you can take existing rights of way and connect them and create a national bicycle

00:09:28.240 trail that becomes like the Appalachian Trail for bicycles that people visit.

00:09:33.280 They can hop on, hop off.

00:09:34.920 They don't have to do it coast to coast.

00:09:36.260 Or they could.

00:09:36.740 They could take a week or two and just go from one side of the country to the other.

00:09:41.160 And again, it's not just about recreation.

00:09:44.120 It's also about national unity.

00:09:45.880 So there are things that he can do.

00:09:47.240 And there's funding to do it in the national parks budget and so forth.

00:09:52.260 Go ahead.

00:09:53.840 Yeah, there is a national bicycle trail project that is transitioning railroad, you know,

00:10:03.180 abandoned railroads into and other things into bicycle trails.

00:10:06.860 But it would be one trail across sort of the maybe the top third of the country from east

00:10:13.600 to west.

00:10:14.260 But it wouldn't be a complete trail to get to all the cool places.

00:10:18.360 Another thing he could do, you know, President Biden has played around with student loans

00:10:22.720 a lot to try to forgive as many student loans as possible.

00:10:25.760 So he's shown actually that the president has executive authority to redesign student loans.

00:10:31.580 Well, I think Trump should redesign student loans so that the universities are on the hook.

00:10:35.380 Right now, it's just the federal taxpayer and the borrowers.

00:10:39.580 And the universities are raising the tuition prices and churning out graduates who don't

00:10:44.420 have any marketable skills.

00:10:46.280 Trump can redesign the loans and say, OK, the universities are on the hook if the student

00:10:50.920 goes into default.

00:10:52.180 All of a sudden, you're going to turn out more engineers.

00:10:54.600 You know, you're going to have fewer queer studies majors and you're going to have people 1.00

00:10:58.800 who can build things and who can learn things.

00:11:01.040 And that makes sure that we don't have a massive student loan default.

00:11:04.100 Again, Trump can do that on his own.

00:11:06.380 Now, I like that.

00:11:07.260 But does that get the government into the free market business?

00:11:12.540 Well, it's in the business already.

00:11:15.080 I mean, so much of our student loan market has already been taken over.

00:11:18.460 Obama basically took over the federal student loan market.

00:11:21.440 I'm just saying as long as the government's issuing these loans, they should make the universities

00:11:26.220 the guarantors of the loans so that the universities have an investment in the students actually

00:11:30.160 being employable after college.

00:11:32.080 Yeah, it makes sense.

00:11:32.660 I mean, they have the upside.

00:11:34.040 They're getting the revenue from the student.

00:11:36.820 So they should take some risk.

00:11:38.420 All right.

00:11:38.640 So is there a few others that you want to mention that would be non-obvious to us?

00:11:45.080 Well, I think that federal regulations need to change to allow households to make money

00:11:50.400 from power generation.

00:11:52.500 You know, when they started solar energy in California and other places, you could get money

00:11:57.160 back if you put solar cells in, solar panels, and fed back into the grid.

00:12:01.680 There are still places where they do that.

00:12:03.900 But in California, they canceled that because the large utilities were spending all this money

00:12:08.320 to develop these big solar farms, and they wanted to recoup the investment.

00:12:11.460 So there wasn't this expansion of solar energy anymore at the household level because you

00:12:16.460 couldn't make money.

00:12:17.640 They should change federal regulations so that people can make money by generating energy.

00:12:22.200 I mean, if you want solar energy to expand, just do that.

00:12:25.960 So, yeah.

00:12:26.920 That was the thing that really struck me when I was looking at your book, is that so many

00:12:33.100 of the ideas were just, they just sit there like, well, this is so obvious.

00:12:36.900 Why weren't we doing this before?

00:12:38.880 And I'm sure you would acknowledge there might be some counter arguments to them, but just

00:12:43.840 having 200 really good ideas is just so exciting to me.

00:12:48.460 You know, if 20 of these got implemented, you would really be excited as a citizen.

00:12:55.240 Now, I didn't include all the ideas that I could have thought of.

00:12:59.120 You know, there are some ideas that I like that I know Trump doesn't like.

00:13:03.320 I'm in favor, for example, of banning TikTok.

00:13:06.060 I think you can do it consistent with the First Amendment because it's not about free speech.

00:13:10.000 It's about national security.

00:13:11.640 But Trump has already said he's not going to ban TikTok.

00:13:14.400 So I didn't put that in there because I wanted this list to be practical.

00:13:18.780 I wanted it to be real.

00:13:21.260 So I didn't put that in there.

00:13:23.240 But this is not just a list of ideas.

00:13:25.080 It really is a program that Trump could implement.

00:13:28.100 And that's because I want people to be able to envision what the future looks like if he

00:13:33.080 wins.

00:13:33.500 Again, I'm not a member of the Trump campaign.

00:13:36.100 And I actually think that even if Trump loses, the country's going to be in a bad place.

00:13:41.540 But it's not lost.

00:13:42.800 I mean, as we've learned from California, none of the ideas that the Democrats are proposing

00:13:47.020 actually work.

00:13:48.280 So it's almost like you have two ways to win.

00:13:50.640 Trump wins and you have this great future or Kamala Harris wins and we get to laugh for

00:13:55.900 four years as price controls fail.

00:13:58.140 And, you know, it's going to be bad for the country.

00:14:00.600 But I think that there needs to be just a sense of optimism.

00:14:05.180 Trump is getting better at it.

00:14:06.820 I've seen him improve over the last few days.

00:14:09.240 But what he's got to do is convince his own voters that voting for him means something

00:14:14.200 positive, that they don't have to worry about the polls so much, that they just have to

00:14:18.860 stick with him and that they can actually overcome all the obstacles that vote by mail

00:14:22.620 and everything like that.

00:14:23.540 You know, we like to joke about a margin of fraud, which is the margin you actually have

00:14:27.920 to win by because of the fraud inherent in the system that Democrats are running.

00:14:32.060 I think he can beat the margin of fraud if he has enough enthusiasm.

00:14:35.520 So he's got to inspire his own voters to believe that he can win.

00:14:38.880 And I think this book, The Agenda, can be part of that.

00:14:41.900 And importantly, people are going to, and this is not your fault, of course, they're going

00:14:46.200 to say, hmm, how does this relate to that Project 2025, which was nothing but bad news

00:14:51.280 for Trump because he always had to explain why that wasn't his ideas.

00:14:54.820 Now, yours clearly are your ideas.

00:14:58.060 These are, and you've tried to make them not provocative in terms of Trump world.

00:15:03.440 So there wouldn't be as much gap between Trump and your ideas, I'm guessing, than there would

00:15:10.060 be between 2025 and his ideas.

00:15:12.100 Well, also, Project 2025 was written kind of as a conservative wish list.

00:15:17.300 You know, if we controlled Congress forever and if our congressional leaders actually

00:15:22.700 cooperated with each other and with Trump, this is what we could do.

00:15:26.440 Oh, and also if we had the right people appointed in the right places.

00:15:29.340 So it's kind of like a utopian vision of what a conservative future would look like.

00:15:34.680 I liken it to the phone book.

00:15:36.360 You know, we don't use phone books anymore, but those of us over a certain age will remember

00:15:40.180 if you wanted to find a number, there was this thousand page tome that you would keep under

00:15:45.120 your desk and you would open it up and leaf through it and find a page and find the number.

00:15:49.620 That's kind of what Project 2025 is.

00:15:51.720 It's like a giant phone book where some government official in a Trump administration would forget

00:15:56.640 about what policy they were supposed to have on a particular issue and then they'd kind

00:16:00.100 of leaf through it.

00:16:00.840 It's 922 pages long.

00:16:02.700 I guarantee you nobody has actually read it, not even the people who wrote it.

00:16:05.600 There were like 100 authors.

00:16:07.180 So that's kind of what it is.

00:16:08.660 But I didn't even know about Project 2025 when I wrote the agenda.

00:16:12.520 Nobody heard about it until late June, really.

00:16:15.740 And I just wrote this list of ideas and suggestions that Trump could implement on his own without

00:16:22.120 waiting for the politics, without waiting for the media, for the filibuster, for whatever.

00:16:26.840 These are things he can do within his constitutional authority.

00:16:30.180 And I felt liberated by writing it.

00:16:32.540 I know you enjoyed reading it.

00:16:33.720 I've had a lot of people have the same reaction, that they felt it was really a fun read.

00:16:38.080 And that's unusual for a policy book.

00:16:39.660 People actually enjoy reading it.

00:16:40.960 Yes, that was the thing that surprised me the most, was that I couldn't put it down.

00:16:47.640 Like every page was like, wow, that's a good idea.

00:16:50.140 Wow, that's a good idea.

00:16:51.120 I loved it.

00:16:52.220 So I will let you get back to your day.

00:16:56.600 But it's available now on Amazon and I assume wherever books are sold.

00:17:01.760 Yes, I wanted to say one thing, Scott, and that is to thank you.

00:17:04.960 And I know that the people watching agree, but you've really changed my approach to writing and to politics and life in general.

00:17:13.400 And, you know, I was living in California, nice family, great job.

00:17:17.720 Things were pretty good.

00:17:19.100 But when I started tuning in to you and learning about how you approach the world, it made things so much better.

00:17:25.700 I found myself so much less frustrated by everyday problems.

00:17:29.540 The idea that there's kind of a user interface for reality, that we can be the authors of our own experience, that changed the way I think about everything.

00:17:37.300 And so that's why when I was feeling miserable about Trump being convicted, which is really a terrible thing to happen in a democracy, I said, well, okay, he's going to have a mandate for radical changes when he gets into office because of this terrible thing that's happened.

00:17:50.940 Look on the bright side.

00:17:52.500 And that's often what we get as viewers when we come to your show every day is we get unexpected analysis of what's happened in the news.

00:18:01.700 You often take a point of view that's different than the standard conservative view, for example, or standard, you're not a conservative, but standard view of someone who likes Trump or is partial to Trump.

00:18:11.700 And you also just say, look, there's positive energy in some negative events sometimes.

00:18:17.560 And I think that's what enabled me to write this.

00:18:19.940 If I hadn't watched you for eight years, I turned this book around in 10 days.

00:18:23.480 You know, they were, the publishers were, they said, if you want to get this out before the election, you have to do it by June 11th.

00:18:28.880 And I started writing on June the 1st.

00:18:30.800 And, you know, it's not possible unless you've got that Scott Adams energy.

00:18:35.460 I mean, honestly, so I want to thank you for the opportunity to talk about the book, but also just thank you for everything you do for your viewers and for the country, because I really do think you've cracked the code about how to live a happier life.

00:18:47.680 Well, thank you for that.

00:18:51.300 I don't know what to say about that.

00:18:52.700 That's a lot.

00:18:53.360 But thank you very much, Joel.

00:18:55.780 So the book is The Agenda, What Trump Should Do in His First 100 Days.

00:18:59.720 It's Joel Pollack.

00:19:00.760 It's available on Amazon and it's great.

00:19:03.360 You should get a copy.

00:19:04.660 Thanks, Joel.

00:19:05.780 Thanks so much, Scott.

00:19:06.900 All right.

00:19:07.540 Take care.

00:19:07.960 All right.

00:19:36.780 It's back to me.

00:19:39.780 Want to talk about some news and politics and stuff?

00:19:43.940 And now suddenly it just seems so lonely.

00:19:45.960 It's, you know, it feels so different when it's just me all of a sudden.

00:19:51.860 All right.

00:19:55.340 So here's some things in the news.

00:19:58.080 There's a study that says that people who smoke a lot of marijuana are less obese.

00:20:02.560 So there's a high correlation, according to a study, if studies were real and if you believe them and if they were better than a coin flip and if anybody really thought that there was no money involved with the people who did the study.

00:20:14.920 And if you were inclined to believe everything you see in the news, you would say to yourself, wow, smoky weed might make you thinner.

00:20:21.980 First of all, we don't know if the data is true, because remember, all data about everything important is fake.

00:20:30.240 But here's why it might be true.

00:20:33.900 So I've told you this, this idea before.

00:20:37.840 That I believe humans require a minimum amount of pleasure or else they'll just, they can't go on.

00:20:46.540 You know, we're, we're sort of dopamine fiends.

00:20:49.300 We got to get, and I use dopamine for any source of pleasure, but we, we need pleasure.

00:20:56.120 So I'm not surprised that if somebody finds pleasure in one way, let's say marijuana legally, we're talking about adults.

00:21:04.920 Um, that they might need to seek a little less pleasure in another way, which is delicious food.

00:21:12.000 Now that's, that's kind of my experience.

00:21:16.100 That if I have one kind of pleasure in any domain, it's like a really good pleasure.

00:21:21.620 I don't feel the need to go chase another pleasure because I got some.

00:21:26.560 So it might be true.

00:21:28.040 It might be true that if you're getting your pleasure one way, you don't need another.

00:21:31.660 This is why I don't judge people who are drug addicts, partly because I don't believe in free will, but partly because I think that if you don't have access to some other pleasure, you're going to get it any way you can.

00:21:47.940 And I don't judge that because I think that's everybody.

00:21:50.940 And the people who are judgy, maybe they do have easier access to regular pleasure.

00:21:55.840 And somebody else doesn't, but everybody's going to get it.

00:22:00.180 You're going to get your minimum pleasure per day or die trying.

00:22:04.260 We're just built that way.

00:22:05.400 Well, Star Wars has canceled future plans for the Acolyte after one season.

00:22:14.200 So that was their, some say extremely gay version of Star Wars, which by the way, the creator of it says, the creator of it says, yeah, it was intended to be a little extra gay.

00:22:27.240 Um, but I don't know if it was the extra gayness or just being bad, but, uh, it was roundly, uh, criticized and I guess it's going away.

00:22:38.760 Meanwhile, over at Harley Davidson, you've heard this story, but here's the update.

00:22:42.600 They had apparently a pretty aggressive DEI woke culture there that the new CEO had brought in.

00:22:49.200 And, uh, that got a lot of external pressure from customers and, um, Robbie Starbuck in particular was making a, uh, public social media example of them as somebody who had gone too far in their wokeness.

00:23:04.640 But, uh, Harley Davidson is apparently reversed all of it.

00:23:09.760 So, and Robbie Starbuck gets the, the win on this.

00:23:13.280 I think this would be a second in a row, uh, very similar to, uh, John Deere tractor.

00:23:19.200 So in both cases, Starbuck, uh, went after that's a person, Robbie Starbuck, um, went after both of them on social media, simply to explain people what was going on.

00:23:31.500 So it's not like he was a critic per se.

00:23:34.480 He just shined a spotlight on the thing and they died.

00:23:38.560 So, so both John Deere and Harley Davidson completely folded on all their extra DEI wokeness stuff.

00:23:46.620 As soon as the public got a good look at it, just think about that.

00:23:51.600 As soon as the public got a good look at it, they had to completely just get rid of it.

00:23:56.340 So that should tell you something, but they have.

00:23:59.980 And so I'm going to join with, uh, others who have said, uh, this would not be the time to criticize Harley Davidson.

00:24:07.300 Great American company.

00:24:09.400 Maybe they did some things you don't like.

00:24:11.400 Maybe they corrected it.

00:24:12.980 What do I tell you about how to judge people?

00:24:15.100 Um,

00:24:16.620 Well, if you don't remember, I don't judge people by doing something I didn't like, which you might call a mistake.

00:24:23.740 I judge them by, did they correct it?

00:24:26.840 You know, once they realized that they messed up, did they fix it?

00:24:32.080 Yes.

00:24:33.220 Yes, they did.

00:24:34.280 They fixed it.

00:24:35.380 Well, you know, if you believe their statements as of now, they got rid of their DEI.

00:24:40.660 They're just going to concentrate on, you know, good quality employees and making a good product.

00:24:45.840 And they're just readjusting their point of view.

00:24:48.680 To me, that's a 100% honorable move.

00:24:53.040 Uh, we do not expect people to be flawless.

00:24:56.160 We do not expect them to agree with us.

00:24:58.460 We do not expect them to never make a mistake.

00:25:01.280 That's unreasonable.

00:25:02.160 I do expect that once they realized that they had a misstep, if you could call it that, that they acted in the way that a sensible, realistic person who wants to make the world a better place would act.

00:25:16.520 And they did.

00:25:17.100 So, John Deere, thumbs up.

00:25:21.620 Harley Davidson, thumbs up.

00:25:23.460 If you're thinking about getting a bike, I recommend them.

00:25:29.360 Alex Berenson.

00:25:30.720 You know Alex Berenson from the COVID days.

00:25:33.920 He was very influential in that world.

00:25:36.700 Had, I think he was writer at the New York Times at one point.

00:25:39.940 Now independent, I think.

00:25:41.280 But anyway, he, uh, noted that I and others have been talking about Kamala Harris looking like she's obviously inebriated.

00:25:49.420 And he, uh, he said this.

00:25:52.180 He said the, quote, Kamala is drunk thing is the latest sign that the right has lost its mind.

00:25:58.800 And he said, look, I get it.

00:26:00.580 The media gaslit all of us about Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline.

00:26:06.840 But that doesn't mean making up stuff about Kamala Harris will work.

00:26:10.720 It makes you look crazy and mean.

00:26:13.380 Now I was, uh, I was named in the post that he was reposting.

00:26:18.540 So I thought, hmm, maybe I need to respond to this.

00:26:22.120 Which I did.

00:26:24.100 So here's my take.

00:26:27.440 Four or five years ago, I said, Joe Biden has obviously got dementia.

00:26:31.920 And it's not going to get any better.

00:26:33.980 Don't you all see it?

00:26:36.140 And some of the people on the right said, yeah, we see it.

00:26:39.380 But generally speaking, the public did not.

00:26:42.520 Now, was I right about that?

00:26:44.840 Yes, I was 100% right.

00:26:46.900 And I saw it before most of the public saw it.

00:26:51.080 Why?

00:26:52.040 Well, I'm not entirely sure.

00:26:53.760 But if I had to guess, I might be a little bit better at detecting things in people's personal actions.

00:27:03.160 Because, you know, there's a wide, wide range of how good people are at this.

00:27:08.720 You know, can you read people's faces?

00:27:11.340 You know, can you intuit what's going on?

00:27:13.780 If you're, let's say if you have Asperger's, for example, you wouldn't be as good as it.

00:27:17.800 You know, you would have other skills, but maybe not that.

00:27:21.560 So what it feels like, based on a lifetime of experience, is that I'm kind of good at it.

00:27:29.640 And it's been my observation about Kamala Harris being what I think is obviously inebriated in a number of videos where she's operating in an official capacity. 0.96

00:27:43.240 I've had lots of other people who I would consider experts in that domain weigh in.

00:27:50.320 So people who have worked in rehab, people who have themselves been addicts, people who are police officers who have dealt with hundreds of inebriated people.

00:28:01.200 And to a person, every one of them says, yeah, that's obviously inebriated.

00:28:06.460 The only conversation is what is the source of the inebriation?

00:28:10.060 But I haven't seen anybody who looked at the videos that I've looked at who said, no, in that video, she's just being joyous.

00:28:19.920 No, no, no, you're, I think you're over-interpreting this, Scott.

00:28:23.820 In that video, she's just being silly, having a good time.

00:28:27.520 Not a single person.

00:28:29.180 Now, I am a little bit siloed, you know, in my social media experience, so I don't get all of the Democrat opinions.

00:28:36.220 But I don't know how much more obvious it could be.

00:28:41.680 It's not really hard to pick on a drunk.

00:28:45.460 That's not a hard thing.

00:28:47.260 Now, I said that about dementia, too.

00:28:50.600 You know, when I was picking it out, I felt like the little boy crying wolf or something.

00:28:55.840 You know, don't you see this?

00:28:57.660 Like, everybody, everybody, you can't see this?

00:29:01.300 You know, back in 2019, I'm saying it.

00:29:03.560 And sure enough, apparently people didn't see it.

00:29:09.120 But they learned to see it.

00:29:11.560 So, I had to point back that I'm not making a claim of fact.

00:29:17.940 I'm making a claim of observation.

00:29:19.640 My observation is that she looks drunk to me. 0.70

00:29:24.100 If you don't think that's important, I think you're missing something important.

00:29:29.860 Which is, it might not be important if she were just some citizen. 0.97

00:29:34.680 But this is somebody who's running to have their finger on the button.

00:29:38.520 And in her official capacity, looks inebriated.

00:29:43.080 I don't know if she is.

00:29:44.300 So, is it inappropriate to say how somebody's vibe is?

00:29:50.080 Not in politics.

00:29:51.880 It's the one place where talking about somebody's vibe and how you suspect they are really matters.

00:29:58.220 I mean, it's the main complaint about Trump is that the people who don't like him get a vibe from him.

00:30:04.840 It's not about what he has done.

00:30:07.240 It's about what they suspect based on their vibe he might do.

00:30:11.200 Now, I think that they're bad at judging character.

00:30:14.300 And, you know, there's a lot of brainwashing going on.

00:30:16.700 So, I don't think they're right about Trump.

00:30:19.100 But it's certainly part of the conversation.

00:30:21.540 I would never deny that if half of the country thinks he looks sketchy to them, that that doesn't matter to voting.

00:30:29.380 Of course it does.

00:30:31.200 The feeling you get from the candidate is very, very important.

00:30:35.120 Maybe more important than their policies in the real world.

00:30:38.400 Same thing with Tim Walz.

00:30:40.980 I don't have any proof that he's done anything.

00:30:43.540 You know, untoward or illegal or inappropriate in any way.

00:30:48.780 In any way.

00:30:49.780 I don't have any proof of that whatsoever.

00:30:52.580 But there is a certain vibe.

00:30:54.780 And I think the Democrats are saying some similar thing about J.D. Vance.

00:30:59.940 So, the vibes matter.

00:31:03.040 Yeah.

00:31:03.340 How they present themselves does affect your vote.

00:31:09.020 Well, Newsweek wanted to weigh in this.

00:31:11.180 And it said that, here's the Newsweek take on this story.

00:31:15.920 As Donald Trump grapples to combat the surge of support for Kamala Harris.

00:31:20.920 All right.

00:31:21.240 First sentence is in the bag for Harris.

00:31:23.680 With a barrage of personal attacks.

00:31:25.840 Okay.

00:31:26.120 Second part of that is in the bag for Kamala Harris.

00:31:29.920 Against her.

00:31:30.880 His campaign team appears to be rolling on a new line this week.

00:31:34.760 By alleging that his Democratic rival has a, quote, drinking problem.

00:31:40.280 Then they go on talking about one of the campaign people mentioned.

00:31:43.620 That she might have a drinking problem, etc.

00:31:45.740 And then it closed by saying that there's no evidence of this drinking problem.

00:31:49.820 Wait, the entire point of the drinking problem claim is that there are at least half a dozen videos that clearly show, in my opinion, her looking inebriated in public during the course of her official duties.

00:32:10.420 Did Newsweek not know that that's what we were looking at?

00:32:13.820 Because most of them are being forwarded around like crazy.

00:32:17.300 They're all viral.

00:32:17.920 So, when they say there's no evidence, don't you think that they should have let you figure that out on your own?

00:32:26.260 How about, here are links to six videos that people say proves or is evidence that she's inebriated.

00:32:34.960 Judge for yourself.

00:32:36.900 No.

00:32:37.680 They not only don't show you the links to the evidence, they tell you there is none.

00:32:44.080 What do you mean there is none?

00:32:45.540 If you see a drunk stumbling in the streets, are you going to say, well, there's no evidence that that person who's stumbling and, okay, they just fell in the bush.

00:32:55.540 Okay, they got a bottle in their hand.

00:32:57.360 But there's no evidence they drank the bottle.

00:33:00.500 Yeah, it's half empty and it's in their hand and they're stumbling and they fell in the bush.

00:33:04.260 But I don't see any proof that that person's an alcoholic or that there's any drinking going on there at all.

00:33:12.060 So, I thought that was pretty funny of Newsweek.

00:33:16.120 No evidence.

00:33:16.820 We'll talk about the DNC in a second.

00:33:46.820 So, I have to just reiterate the Mike Benz view about the 2020 BLM riots.

00:34:01.500 Did you know that the CIA has released documents that show the technique used by our CIA to destabilize and take over other countries?

00:34:14.040 And what it involves is, you know, bribing or getting control of leaders of movements that could start trouble on the streets, such as Black Lives Matter.

00:34:25.240 And that it's a normal, repeated process.

00:34:30.660 It's the most normal process to bribe the leaders of movements so you can put muscle on the street, opposing whoever's in charge of that other country, so that it's easier to take them down.

00:34:43.580 So, it's basically a coup process.

00:34:45.840 So, did you know that John Podesta, and I think there was at least one CIA asset, maybe more, that they ran before Trump got elected the first time?

00:35:00.200 They had a big meeting in which they did wargaming of what would happen if Trump, you know, lost or he won barely, and then what would happen if he just unambiguously won?

00:35:11.560 And they actually wargamed how to take him out of office if he won fair and square.

00:35:19.780 And that's all documented.

00:35:21.680 We know the people, and we even know what their solution was.

00:35:27.820 And I believe the solution was to create unrest.

00:35:31.420 So, exactly what the CIA does in other countries, they had already wargamed that they would try to take out President Trump if he got totally legally elected.

00:35:43.140 They would use their same technique they use externally, internally.

00:35:48.580 And then we watched it happen.

00:35:50.620 You know why you're not seeing a lot of Black Lives Matter protests anymore?

00:35:55.640 When nothing changed.

00:35:57.360 Nothing they asked for really changed.

00:35:58.980 It's because it was fake.

00:36:02.740 Apparently, it was the Democrats and maybe the CIA who may have inspired their leaders with money or bribes or whatever it took to get their people on the streets.

00:36:14.460 And, you know, you heard that Soros was funding Black Lives Matter.

00:36:19.380 Well, I heard it from Black Lives Matter.

00:36:22.600 Soros would be, allegedly, the bank for all those people.

00:36:27.320 You know, the Atlantic Council.

00:36:29.220 So, if the intelligence and State Department and those people want something to happen that requires money, Soros has money.

00:36:40.420 So, they have some kind of a working arrangement, apparently.

00:36:43.640 Now, I don't know the details.

00:36:44.960 And I'm just telling you what it looks like.

00:36:47.260 And I'm telling you what Mike Benz is explaining.

00:36:50.280 So, look for Mike Benz.

00:36:51.800 Look for his videos on this topic.

00:36:54.120 And you will find that, apparently, fully disclosed, fully documented, no secret documents.

00:37:01.480 Right?

00:37:01.820 There's no sketchy evidence.

00:37:04.880 This is all well-confirmed, published, no controversy that these things happened, etc.

00:37:12.280 And, sure enough.

00:37:14.460 And then, of course, controlling the media would be important to run a coup in any country.

00:37:18.160 And do the bad guys control the media in this country?

00:37:24.720 Well, according to a NewsBusters study, Harris' coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC has a 84% positive,

00:37:33.960 while Trump's coverage on the same networks is 89% negative.

00:37:38.440 Does that sound to you like the intelligence people in this country control the media?

00:37:42.840 Well, unless they are all just automatically, accidentally on the same side, yes.

00:37:50.480 Well, you don't know.

00:37:51.920 I don't have any proof.

00:37:54.020 So, everything I've talked about, I have no proof for.

00:37:57.700 But the pattern recognition is really high on this one.

00:38:02.220 It does look like people in this country associated with their intelligence and, you know,

00:38:10.920 let's say the long-term managers of the country used the techniques they used to do coups in other country against Trump.

00:38:19.820 It looks like everything from the legal lawfare stuff to the fake news to the fake protests was all run for the purpose of a coup.

00:38:31.860 Now, I can't say that that's 100% true.

00:38:34.780 I'm just saying that it's hard to imagine what the second explanation of it would be.

00:38:40.100 Let's put it that way.

00:38:42.740 There's a whole bunch of stories about elections and all the states trying to shore up the elections,

00:38:48.900 and there's always some Democrat who wants to stop them from making the elections secure.

00:38:53.960 So, that's the big story.

00:38:55.540 And I feel like every day there's another few of these stories.

00:38:58.600 That was some state that wanted to make their elections secure, but the Democrats in the state didn't want to. 0.95

00:39:03.680 All right, here's the newest one.

00:39:06.040 So, there's a group that wants to challenge up to 364,000 voters in Georgia,

00:39:12.220 meaning that there might be 364,000 voters, 364,000 who are not eligible to vote,

00:39:23.500 but are on the voting logs, I guess.

00:39:27.360 So, those would be people who moved or died or are not citizens.

00:39:32.740 I don't know what the mix is.

00:39:34.200 But they'd like to challenge them and then have them removed from the voting rolls.

00:39:38.400 But Cobb County said that they would have to charge any group that wanted them to do that.

00:39:44.760 If you're saying to yourself, oh, wait a minute, isn't that their job to make sure that you don't have fake names on there?

00:39:49.620 Yes, it is Cobb County's job already to make sure there are no fake names.

00:39:56.980 They're being asked to do it, and they're saying, we're going to charge you $10 estimated per challenge, per name.

00:40:03.840 So, that would be $10 for each of the 364,000 voters.

00:40:08.060 So, if they want to actually check to make sure that the people listed as eligible for vote are really eligible to vote,

00:40:16.900 it would cost $3.6 million.

00:40:21.660 And, of course, it's the Democrats who want to install that fee.

00:40:26.220 So, it's very consistent.

00:40:28.660 Number one, that the Democrats say that it's Trump who is trying to rig the elections, or the Republicans,

00:40:37.240 are trying to rig the elections so that they suppress votes.

00:40:41.080 But what they're trying to suppress is the very obviously illegal votes.

00:40:46.720 They are trying to suppress those.

00:40:49.400 But the Democrats are so good at the bullshit that they'll just say, no, they're trying to suppress all those minority votes,

00:40:55.800 which nobody's trying to do.

00:40:58.660 All right.

00:41:02.160 Let's talk about the DNC.

00:41:05.100 So, you know that the Democrats are very welcoming to the migrant community.

00:41:13.000 Very welcoming.

00:41:15.280 But also, you know, you probably heard the story that Planned Parenthood was going to provide free vasectomies

00:41:21.800 and abortion pills during the DNC.

00:41:25.880 They didn't say that's only for the white Democrats.

00:41:29.520 But I got that feeling.

00:41:32.280 I feel like the Democrats want to get rid of the residents of this country, whether they're white or black or anything else.

00:41:38.860 And they're really very welcoming to the people who weren't born here, who were here illegally.

00:41:45.760 I like the people who weren't born here who are here legally.

00:41:49.120 So, anyway, I don't know.

00:41:56.180 There's a joke here about the Democrats wanting to kill the people who are here, but let in the people who are not legally here. 0.99

00:42:04.120 The consistency of this is just very alarming.

00:42:07.740 You know what we'd like of?

00:42:09.960 We'd like less of you citizens.

00:42:12.640 We'd like lots of abortion. 1.00

00:42:14.600 And I'm not giving you any personal opinion on abortion.

00:42:17.540 I'm just saying, why is it that everything that looks like creating less Americans who are already here is always popular with Democrats,

00:42:27.560 and anything that brings in people who weren't already here suddenly is very popular?

00:42:33.300 Like, why is that?

00:42:35.500 Where is that even coming from?

00:42:38.340 Well, anyway, the Democrats tried to screw Joe Biden by making him the last or one of the late speakers at the event on the first night.

00:42:46.840 I think he was there way past his bedtime, but also way past the time people would watch.

00:42:52.540 They're obviously embarrassed to have him there.

00:42:55.180 Nate Silver says the media is very East Coast focused, talking about the timing of it.

00:43:01.600 And he said, you've got to be pretty naive to think the prolonged DNC tonight is for any reason other than diminishing Biden's visibility.

00:43:10.820 In other words, they made sure that everything ran late so that when Biden talked, nobody would be listening.

00:43:16.860 They'd already be in bed.

00:43:19.040 And that turned out to be probably a good idea because Biden did the entire dump of every debunked hoax he ever talked about during his life.

00:43:32.380 He talked, he spread the fine people hoax again, the most debunked hoax in American history.

00:43:37.540 He did the, there's going to be a bloodbath if he isn't elected.

00:43:41.920 That, of course, was a different context.

00:43:44.520 They took out of context.

00:43:46.120 He did the suckers and losers hoax, of which there's no evidence that that actually is something he ever said.

00:43:53.560 Nor would Trump ever say something about the military, that there were suckers and losers.

00:44:00.240 How did anybody ever believe that he ever did that?

00:44:02.620 By the way, Trump himself was debunking that the other day.

00:44:05.600 He said, Trump will not accept defeat if he loses.

00:44:10.640 You know, that's the whole he's going to steal your democracy thing crazy.

00:44:14.540 He said, Trump tried to avoid visiting U.S. graves in Europe.

00:44:17.600 That's been debunked.

00:44:18.700 That's a hoax.

00:44:20.020 Then Representative Warnock came out.

00:44:21.960 Well, let's just finish with Biden.

00:44:23.300 So, everybody, I think, had the same impression I did, that Biden was so angry and dementia riddled.

00:44:33.120 He just had dementia anger that it was hard to watch because I just saw a crazy person who shouldn't be talking in public.

00:44:40.600 But it looked like old man yells at the sky because he seemed angry at everything he said.

00:44:47.120 He was even angry at his own accomplishments.

00:44:50.160 So when he wasn't complaining about Trump, he was just as angry when he would talk about what he did.

00:44:56.040 He'd be like, and, and, we did this.

00:44:59.480 And it was just like old, angry man yelling at everything.

00:45:05.060 It was really embarrassing.

00:45:07.700 He should not be allowed to speak in public.

00:45:10.800 I mean, that was really bad.

00:45:12.260 It's the worst I've seen.

00:45:14.060 I would say of public speeches, maybe of any public political speech I've ever heard, that was probably the worst.

00:45:24.780 Would you disagree, if anybody saw it?

00:45:28.560 I think, I think Biden's speech at the DNC last night was the worst political speech I've ever heard.

00:45:37.340 He looked bad.

00:45:38.620 He looked scary.

00:45:39.420 He didn't look in control.

00:45:40.940 He looked crazy.

00:45:41.880 And he repeated every debunked hoax.

00:45:44.780 It couldn't have been more pathetic.

00:45:48.480 And, honestly, Kamala Harris didn't even look comfortable listening to it.

00:45:52.480 But then Representative Warnock gets up.

00:45:56.500 Ontario, the wait is over.

00:46:55.100 Please play responsibly.

00:46:56.160 And he starts telling the big lie about January 6th, which is that it was an insurrection.

00:47:03.240 He talks about all the anti-democratic voter suppression laws that the Republicans are passing.

00:47:08.820 No, these are laws to make sure that non-citizens and people who shouldn't vote don't vote. 0.57

00:47:15.620 He said that Trump is a clear and present danger, which is, you know, only weeks after an assassination attempt on him,

00:47:22.080 which is probably one of the most dangerous and irresponsible things an elected politician could ever do.

00:47:29.720 Sounds like he's kind of asking for violence against me.

00:47:34.460 Let me say that again.

00:47:36.400 When Representative Warnock says that Trump is a clear and present danger,

00:47:41.900 and I would be identified, as many of you, as a supporter of Trump,

00:47:46.660 that puts me in physical danger.

00:47:48.640 Because he's basically saying it's okay to kill these people.

00:47:53.780 Now, he didn't say that.

00:47:55.600 You know, I'm putting words in his mouth.

00:47:57.420 But somebody's going to hear it that way.

00:48:00.160 If somebody is a clear and present danger to the entire country,

00:48:04.200 that would include the supporters as well as the person they support,

00:48:07.780 what would you do to somebody who's a clear and present danger?

00:48:11.620 Let them go on with their business?

00:48:14.420 Is that how you handle a clear and present danger?

00:48:17.600 Oh, carry on.

00:48:19.080 Free speech.

00:48:19.840 Go ahead.

00:48:22.000 I don't know.

00:48:22.580 It looks like a call to violence to me.

00:48:25.600 Because what are you supposed to do about a clear and present danger?

00:48:29.180 Talk about it?

00:48:31.540 I mean, I think it's a call to action, not a call to talking.

00:48:35.060 But that's how I take it.

00:48:36.440 And then Breitbart's fact-checking him.

00:48:43.560 Biden said he was creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in clean energy for American workers,

00:48:49.820 including the IBEW, installing half a million charging stations.

00:48:55.880 I think he's done eight.

00:48:58.140 But the way he said it was suggesting he's already done it,

00:49:01.980 but you could also interpret it as suggesting that the plan is that they will do it.

00:49:06.860 So he was ambiguous about, has it happened, or are they in the process of trying to make it happen?

00:49:12.200 But it did create the impression, if he didn't know any better, that they'd already done it.

00:49:19.680 So I think the fact-check is correct in claiming that's false.

00:49:26.240 So here's the fun part.

00:49:28.000 So I just told you that the convention was especially full of lies.

00:49:33.660 Some of the worst lies in the history of politics.

00:49:38.220 The fine people lie.

00:49:40.380 And also, Robert Garcia, he's another Democrat, got up.

00:49:45.460 And he said that Trump told us to inject bleach into our bodies.

00:49:49.680 Of course, that never happened either.

00:49:52.180 So now you've got everything from the fine people hoax, these.

00:49:56.880 I mean, there's like half a dozen of the biggest hoaxes in the world.

00:50:00.360 But fear not, because CNN brought their fact-checker on after the Biden speech.

00:50:09.280 And if the fact-checker comes on and Biden is told the biggest whoppers ever,

00:50:15.480 well, you know he's going to dig in, right?

00:50:17.240 He's got a lot of juicy material, that fine people hoax, the drinking bleach, I mean, lots of stuff.

00:50:24.200 Here's what Daniel Dale fact-checked.

00:50:27.920 You're not even going to fucking believe this.

00:50:30.220 So after all of those lies, Daniel Dale says, there were certainly some false or misleading claims there.

00:50:41.520 Oh, okay.

00:50:42.720 Okay, maybe I was too harsh on him.

00:50:45.600 Because he's saying right in the front, he goes, there were certainly some false or misleading claims.

00:50:50.000 All right.

00:50:50.560 Now we're going to get into the good stuff.

00:50:52.200 So what did he say about them?

00:50:53.700 He says, especially on the subject of the economy.

00:50:56.140 Huh.

00:50:58.860 Well, I just mentioned a whole bunch of hoaxes, but none of them were about the economy.

00:51:06.360 So it turns out that the things that weren't hoaxes were just lies.

00:51:12.440 So the stuff about the economy, which I don't call hoaxes, they're just flat-out lies.

00:51:17.060 Because Daniel Dale decides to fact-check just the technical problems with the financial claims.

00:51:27.780 And he says, he said that Biden said that we have 1,000 billionaires in America, and their average tax rate is 8.2%.

00:51:39.160 And he also said that we used to import products and export jobs.

00:51:45.060 Now we export American products and create American jobs right here in America.

00:51:48.880 So Dale fact-checks him on the tax rate of billionaires, saying that that's not true for all billionaires.

00:51:57.300 Every situation is different.

00:51:59.060 Correct.

00:52:00.660 Then he fact-checked him on the ratio of imported versus exported jobs, and apparently that was just a lie.

00:52:09.160 So the two things that Joe Biden said about economics, or at least those two things, were a lie.

00:52:17.460 And then, you know, since that's just the beginning, I mean, those are like the warm-ups.

00:52:22.880 You know Daniel Dale's going to go hard on this fine people hoax and the drinking bleach and the January 6th insurrection

00:52:29.680 and the, you know, the losers quote that's obviously...

00:52:34.000 So here's how that went.

00:52:35.700 Jake Tapper said, all right, Daniel Dale, thank you so much.

00:52:44.240 And we're done.

00:52:48.640 Are you amazed that you can watch this happen right in front of you?

00:52:54.680 The biggest lies in the whole fucking history of the United States.

00:52:59.020 And he didn't even address him.

00:53:01.320 He's the fact-checker.

00:53:03.100 Didn't even address him.

00:53:04.480 How embarrassing and humiliating would it be to be Daniel Dale today?

00:53:10.380 He's either a fucking coward and doesn't want to lose his job.

00:53:15.360 Nobody wants to lose their job.

00:53:16.700 So he's either a fucking coward or he's really incompetent at his job.

00:53:21.500 And all the evidence so far suggests that he does know how to do his job.

00:53:26.680 So he must have management advice that says he can't fact-check the big ones.

00:53:35.920 Do you think he's doing it on his own?

00:53:38.560 Did he decide on his own to leave the biggest lies in all of American politics untouched?

00:53:44.140 As the fact-checker, the fact-checker on CNN.

00:53:48.320 And he's not going to touch the biggest hoaxes in American history.

00:53:51.720 They were repeated in public again.

00:53:55.680 What is wrong with that fucking guy?

00:53:59.640 Man, I've never lost that much respect for a human being so quickly.

00:54:03.820 I really thought maybe he'd take a swing at it.

00:54:07.260 Not even, didn't even try.

00:54:08.540 Then Hillary the Horrible gets up and I forgot how much I hated that woman. 1.00

00:54:16.560 And I think a lot of it has to do with her face matched with what she says.

00:54:21.560 Because she goes after Trump with delight that he's been law-fared into 34 felonies.

00:54:28.240 And of course, her idiot audience thinks that these are all deserved, you know,

00:54:32.160 Department of Justice, nobody's above the law kind of stuff.

00:54:35.540 None of that's true.

00:54:36.340 These are all bullshit lawfare charges that wouldn't have happened to anybody except Trump.

00:54:42.040 And probably they'll all go away eventually.

00:54:44.020 And she gets up there happy as a little clam. 0.80

00:54:47.380 She can't get that smile off her face.

00:54:50.320 Fucking bitch. 1.00

00:54:52.240 Oh my God, I hate her. 1.00

00:54:54.440 Now, if you think that sounded sexist, it wasn't meant to be.

00:54:58.840 Because I don't say that about, you know, Democrat women who are just ordinary people. 0.80

00:55:03.700 But she is a piece of work.

00:55:06.680 Oh my God, I hate her. 1.00

00:55:09.520 I hate her with just a passion.

00:55:13.820 You know, Kamala Harris, I don't have any hatred for her at all.

00:55:18.320 Because she doesn't project something that would trigger that.

00:55:23.560 You know, I think she's lying.

00:55:24.880 I think she's a drunk. 1.00

00:55:25.780 I think she's incapable.

00:55:28.460 But so are a lot of people.

00:55:31.520 You know, that's not that unusual.

00:55:33.380 But whatever Hillary Clinton's got going on is a whole other level of evil. 1.00

00:55:38.680 I don't feel the same about her that I do about anybody else.

00:55:43.200 She's, she's a piece of work. 0.70

00:55:46.300 Wow.

00:55:47.580 I am so glad she never became president.

00:55:50.700 My God, she's evil. 0.85

00:55:52.680 You can just feel it.

00:55:54.340 You can just feel the evil.

00:55:56.460 Ugh.

00:55:57.440 Now, again, that's just my impression.

00:55:59.560 You may have a different one.

00:56:03.020 All right.

00:56:05.240 But Kamala Harris herself did appear at the DNC. 0.99

00:56:08.820 And did she appear inebriated?

00:56:11.420 No, not at all.

00:56:12.900 Not at all.

00:56:13.520 Which is more evidence that those other videos are, in fact, inebriation.

00:56:18.740 Why?

00:56:19.560 Because when she's not inebriated, it's really obvious.

00:56:22.960 She looks like everybody else who's not inebriated.

00:56:26.160 She looks like she's in control.

00:56:29.060 Her body looks normal.

00:56:31.160 Her mannerisms look normal.

00:56:33.360 And she looks like a leaderly, you know, persona.

00:56:37.760 So, the fact that she looked perfectly fine and in control and, dare I say, presidential,

00:56:46.640 doesn't change the fact that those other videos really look drunk.

00:56:51.100 So, if there's some other explanation for the videos that make her look drunk, I'm open to that.

00:56:56.860 But if they're fake videos, I'd really like to know that before I go too far.

00:57:01.620 So, if somebody does have any pushback to that, based on the videos, not just based on there's no proof, but based on the videos, I'd like to know.

00:57:11.560 So, I guess Kamala Harris has declined the offer to do a debate of Fox News with Trump. 0.99

00:57:20.360 So, that may have more to do with Fox News.

00:57:22.840 I don't know.

00:57:24.020 Or it may have to do with fewer debates is better from her point of view.

00:57:28.580 But I would agree that there's no reason for her to ever do a debate. 0.94

00:57:32.460 And there's no reason for her to ever talk to the press.

00:57:35.300 Because apparently her voters don't care. 0.95

00:57:38.240 You don't really see a bunch of Kamala Harris supporters saying,

00:57:42.800 but you know, I'm not going to vote for her unless she does a press interview.

00:57:48.360 None of them.

00:57:50.180 And they're not wrong.

00:57:52.600 You know, as I've said before, when Trump talks to the press,

00:57:55.880 we do say, oh, there's somebody who can talk to the press.

00:57:59.660 But when it's done, they take something he said in a context and turn it into a hoax.

00:58:04.520 That's where the fine people hoax came from.

00:58:07.240 It came from talking to the press.

00:58:09.600 That's where the drinking bleach hoax came from.

00:58:12.900 It came from talking to the press.

00:58:15.440 So, talking to the press is a losing strategy for everybody.

00:58:21.200 You know, I've told you this story about Bloomberg back in 2016, maybe.

00:58:26.660 They sent a report around to spend the day with me.

00:58:29.120 And I don't know what I was thinking.

00:58:32.960 Like, I don't know why I said yes to that.

00:58:35.240 Because I should have been smart enough by then to know that it was going to be a hit piece.

00:58:40.460 And of course it was.

00:58:42.320 So, even for me, talking to the press, unless I'm selling a book, it's just a bad idea.

00:58:48.020 So, the press is just so evil that spending time with him is just a bad idea.

00:58:54.760 So, neither of the candidates should talk to the press, in my opinion.

00:58:59.760 Ron Klain, who is, is he still the, is Ron Klain still the chief of staff for Biden?

00:59:08.860 Or has he moved on?

00:59:10.640 Anyway, doesn't matter.

00:59:12.300 But Steve Hilton is reporting in the New York Times had a story that Ron Klain said that Kamala Harris failed as a vice president. 0.63

00:59:23.280 He said, quote, we were all united behind the idea she should be successful.

00:59:27.900 We just didn't find a path to do it.

00:59:30.180 So, that's like a major part of the Biden administration saying they wanted her to be successful as a vice president, but they couldn't figure out how to help her, and she was not successful.

00:59:44.600 That's from a Democrat.

00:59:46.460 And that wasn't the headline of the report.

00:59:49.200 They included it, to their credit, but they didn't emphasize it.

00:59:53.960 All right.

00:59:55.840 The DNC platform on the website apparently mentions Biden's second term 19 times, but doesn't even mention Kamala Harris once.

01:00:05.140 Are they incompetent, because they have not updated their website, to get rid of the Biden second term stuff, especially by the DNC, the time of the DNC, and to update it with all of Kamala Harris's ideas?

01:00:20.800 Well, they're in a tough spot.

01:00:24.760 So, I put my Dilbert filter on this one, and I say, what would happen in a Dilbert world?

01:00:30.720 In a Dilbert world, since they don't know exactly what the Kamala Harris policies would be yet, if they got rid of Biden, they would have nothing, and that would look even worse.

01:00:46.580 If they tried to tweak Biden's and just put in her name instead of his, then it would be the wrong policies, because her policies might have some nuances that his didn't.

01:00:56.660 And if they're not done coming up with her policies, they can't just erase everything that's there and put in all of her new policies, because that would just create targets for somebody to shoot at.

01:01:08.800 The longer she goes without telling you any of her policies, the better she is. 0.98

01:01:14.900 You know, when she tried and said, how about my policy of price controls on food?

01:01:21.020 She couldn't even get a Democrat economist to agree with it.

01:01:25.800 So, I don't think you need much more proof that the less she tells the public about her policies, the better.

01:01:33.520 So, instead of having a blank, which would raise questions, they just left the old Biden language up there, and then every reasonable person says, oh, you know, they'll update that later.

01:01:44.360 But they haven't gotten to it as dumb as it sounds to not have her named on the platform, it actually was the right play.

01:01:55.340 So, I'm going to say it again.

01:01:57.000 Whoever is managing her campaign right now, it's just nonstop good advice.

01:02:03.500 I hate to say it, but it's nonstop good advice.

01:02:08.540 So, we'll see if that continues.

01:02:11.320 Meanwhile, there's a founder of the, there's a Harris Super PAC, so somebody who's big on getting money for Harris, who says that they have some internal polls.

01:02:25.120 I guess the PAC itself has some internal polls.

01:02:28.060 And it says our numbers are much less rosy than what we're seeing in the public.

01:02:34.600 So, if you do your own private internal polling, apparently it says that Kamala Harris is losing big. 0.99

01:02:45.340 But if you were instead to look at the public polling, it says the opposite.

01:02:53.660 Now, Rasmussen has been on this for a while, because Rasmussen has continuously shown that Trump had a solid lead.

01:03:02.980 And Rasmussen kind of makes fun of the other polls, because they're so obviously rigged.

01:03:07.280 What they do is they just oversample Democrats.

01:03:11.120 So, instead of saying, you know, they're whatever the number is, 32% Democrats.

01:03:16.000 So, instead of saying the 32% of the people we talked to are Democrats, they would just have more of them.

01:03:22.460 And so, if there are more Democrats, Harris gets more votes in the poll.

01:03:26.220 So, it's apparently the polls are rigged that obviously, because even when you read the poll, you can tell, you know, the numbers of people who are polled.

01:03:36.700 You just have to know to look for it.

01:03:38.500 So, the current polls are allegedly completely fake.

01:03:45.300 Not Rasmussen, but a number of the others are allegedly completely fake.

01:03:50.820 Surprise? No.

01:03:51.980 There was a labor union boss who talked at the DNC, April Verrett. 0.98

01:03:59.300 And you'd have to listen to this to hear the worst voice you've ever heard in your life.

01:04:04.200 I can't do an impression of it.

01:04:06.500 But, oh my God, I hope she doesn't have a husband unless the husband is deaf. 1.00

01:04:11.420 You cannot listen to that woman talk. 1.00

01:04:14.060 Just the physical sound of her voice.

01:04:16.260 I can't even do an impression.

01:04:18.060 But, oh my goodness, it was difficult to listen to.

01:04:21.460 Wow.

01:04:22.720 Anyway, she said, quote, we're going to build a younger, darker, hipper, sneaker-wearing labor movement. 0.85

01:04:33.680 What does she mean by darker?

01:04:37.540 She means less white people, right? 0.89

01:04:40.480 How do you get fewer white people?

01:04:42.120 Well, in the ideal world, it happens on its own.

01:04:51.420 Because you just, you know, hire the best people you can, and then it starts to look like the character of the United States itself.

01:04:58.340 So that would be good, right?

01:05:01.520 If all you had to do was do a really good job in making sure you got the best candidates, you would end up with something that represented the country.

01:05:10.140 Say the people who believe that works.

01:05:11.440 Say the people who believe that works.

01:05:13.880 But those of us who have had one minute of experience in the real world know that what that means is massive discrimination against white people.

01:05:22.380 And you can say it out loud now, at a convention, that you were going to massively discriminate against white employees.

01:05:31.460 Now, she didn't say that, but in the real world, that's clearly what happens when you set your sights on getting a, quote, browner labor movement. 0.90

01:05:42.720 Or darker, she said darker.

01:05:45.860 I don't know what else it could mean.

01:06:04.180 Anyway, then my favorite guilty pleasure is watching Morning Joe.

01:06:09.040 Because as I've said, if you think about it this way, it's funnier.

01:06:13.200 So if you want to enjoy watching Morning Joe, imagine what I said.

01:06:17.300 That every day is like a college essay where they have to write a brand new essay that doesn't repeat their last one.

01:06:24.180 That's yet another reason that orange man is evil and Trump should not be your president.

01:06:29.800 So they've got to write a new one every day.

01:06:32.960 So here's what Scarborough said about the DNC.

01:06:36.180 He said, Republicans saw what they fear the most at the DNC last night.

01:06:42.000 Joy.

01:06:42.520 Now, you tell me, does that sound like a real person's opinion?

01:06:49.280 Or does that sound like a college student who was asked to write an essay and they had run out of good ideas?

01:06:55.360 It's like, well, I'll just say I'll read the minds of the Republicans.

01:06:59.660 And I'll find out that their biggest fear is not nuclear war.

01:07:06.740 It's not the end of democracy.

01:07:10.100 It's not any of those things.

01:07:14.060 Their biggest fear is that the DNC would have joy.

01:07:18.000 Joy, how do you treat that as anything but humorous?

01:07:24.560 Yeah, where everybody's afraid of that joy.

01:07:29.100 Now, presumably, we would be afraid of joy because it would cause the Democrats to win the election.

01:07:36.380 I don't know that joy has anything to do with it, really.

01:07:40.780 I mean, I get that enthusiasm is part of every election.

01:07:44.620 But joy?

01:07:45.800 I don't know.

01:07:47.300 I don't think so.

01:07:48.780 We'll see.

01:07:51.440 But Kamala Harris did say she wants to raise taxes on corporations from 21% to 28%. 1.00

01:07:58.380 Is that a good idea?

01:08:02.220 Probably not.

01:08:03.060 How does this work?

01:08:07.460 If you raise taxes, they pay fewer dividends.

01:08:14.400 I don't know.

01:08:15.240 I'm not sure you get your money back on that one.

01:08:17.460 But as she would tell you, that's a good return on investment.

01:08:22.560 So yesterday, we found out that that shooter, the attempted assassination guy, Thomas Crooks,

01:08:28.040 was not shot first by the Secret Service sniper.

01:08:33.060 He was shot first by the local police sniper or local police who saw him and took the first shot.

01:08:41.900 And the first shot might have hit the gun and disabled it, but it was the Secret Service who did the headshot.

01:08:47.860 Why did it take so long for us to find that out?

01:08:53.140 I can't even believe, you know, certainly I always warn you about the fog of war.

01:08:58.980 You know, when the story about the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania first came out, you know, I always do the beware all the early stories are fake.

01:09:08.220 But we got weeks into it, weeks into it, without finding out who shot the shooter first.

01:09:16.540 How in the world did we not know that until now?

01:09:20.880 How in the world?

01:09:22.180 And I guess Representative Clay Higgins dug into it and he may have uncovered that.

01:09:29.300 Well, Vladimir Putin continues to be a clever bastard.

01:09:33.280 So he put on a notice to the world that Russia will be a safe haven for people trying to escape Western liberal ideals. 0.60

01:09:46.020 Now, if you separate the question of whether that's a practical idea, you know, is anybody going to actually move to Russia to get extra freedom?

01:09:56.480 Maybe not, maybe not, but is it smart for Putin to make the offer?

01:10:03.920 Yeah, it is.

01:10:05.480 I hate to say I don't want to be I don't want to sound pro Putin.

01:10:09.900 All right.

01:10:10.780 So I'm not supporting Putin as a as a leader.

01:10:14.420 I'm just saying that this was damn clever.

01:10:16.980 It was damn clever to to put this out there and essentially paint him as the protector of some kind.

01:10:26.480 Kind of ideals.

01:10:28.160 Pretty clever.

01:10:29.320 And he might you might get some famous people.

01:10:31.840 You could you could easily imagine.

01:10:35.240 Somebody in the UK being given a jail term for free speech who says to themselves, OK, I can either go to jail or if I can somehow stay released on bail or whatever.

01:10:52.280 It works in the UK.

01:10:53.160 I will escape the country and go to Russia and live out my days. 1.00

01:10:59.120 There might be somebody who takes him up on that.

01:11:02.260 I don't know if it's a good idea.

01:11:04.080 I mean, I wouldn't do it personally, but it's a hell of a smart thing for him to offer that.

01:11:10.500 It just made me laugh.

01:11:11.680 It's so funny.

01:11:13.340 All right.

01:11:13.560 Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it recovered six bodies in a Gaza operation.

01:11:19.700 No mention of how or when they died.

01:11:23.680 Any questions?

01:11:26.700 They got six bodies of hostages from Gaza, but no mention of when they died or how.

01:11:34.300 Well, here's what I think.

01:11:35.660 I don't think that they necessarily dug up six graves.

01:11:41.200 It feels to me like the most likely situation is that they died during the operation to to release them.

01:11:49.860 There's no direct evidence of that.

01:11:52.280 But the way the story is written, it's written to avoid the question of how and when they died.

01:11:58.400 So even the news is acting incurious about that question.

01:12:02.460 No, all we know is there was six hostages were dead.

01:12:08.480 It's a tragedy, of course.

01:12:09.740 I don't want to I don't want to, you know, get past the tragedy of six human beings.

01:12:15.500 First of all, captive, you may be tortured and now dead.

01:12:20.060 It doesn't get much worse than that.

01:12:22.280 But.

01:12:23.980 What is the news trying to do with this?

01:12:26.940 Is the news really just working for Israel at this point?

01:12:30.440 And by the way, I would not blame Israel if they did an operation to release the hostages and it didn't work out.

01:12:40.740 I wouldn't blame them.

01:12:42.340 It's war.

01:12:43.820 Stuff doesn't work out.

01:12:45.320 If they thought that was their best shot and not releasing them was worse and not trying to get them was worse.

01:12:52.880 Things don't always work out.

01:12:55.440 You know, war is not a clean business.

01:12:57.520 So I wouldn't give them even the slightest bit of criticism if what they did is try to release them militarily and it ended up in their deaths.

01:13:09.260 That's terrible and it's tragic.

01:13:13.120 But it's not to be ashamed of.

01:13:15.660 You know, there may be some details that maybe they wouldn't want you to know if something just went wrong.

01:13:21.600 But if they did it, if they made a solid good attempt and it just didn't work out.

01:13:29.420 Resulting in the tragic deaths.

01:13:30.820 I feel like the news should at least report that or at least they should act like they're curious why they don't know how and when they died.

01:13:41.560 Because I feel like if they had died a while ago, Israel would say that we recover the badly decomposed bodies of some hostages who had died.

01:13:52.160 We don't know how long ago.

01:13:53.140 So the lack of saying something like that tells you something.

01:14:00.140 Allegedly, according to the Sun, a publication, there's some kind of breakthrough in the Gaza war negotiations.

01:14:09.640 And Netanyahu has, quote, accepted the framework of a ceasefire deal to stop the Gaza war.

01:14:16.580 So this was last night's news.

01:14:19.420 Now, do you believe that?

01:14:21.540 Here's my take on that.

01:14:23.580 You can easily get one side to agree to a ceasefire.

01:14:28.620 The magic is getting two sides to agree.

01:14:31.540 All you have to do to get one side to agree is say, well, suppose it was you getting everything you wanted.

01:14:37.760 All right, I agree.

01:14:39.820 But you have to talk to the other side.

01:14:42.600 So to me, this news looks like complete bullshit.

01:14:46.300 I don't think they're close to any kind of anything.

01:14:48.260 And even if they do something that looks like a deal, it's going to be a fake.

01:14:53.960 You know, if Israel says, oh, we're going to remove our military.

01:14:59.260 Well, if they get their hostages back, you'd think the military will stay removed if all they wanted was their hostages.

01:15:07.700 You know, I think all it would take is for them to see some provocation and say, well, we intended to stay out.

01:15:16.080 But look at this new provocation.

01:15:18.520 So we have to go back in.

01:15:23.000 Anyway, I don't expect anything good to come out of that anytime soon.

01:15:26.300 Did you ever wonder why laws are written in an incomprehensible style?

01:15:33.060 You know, contracts are always written in this legalese gobbledygook.

01:15:37.200 Well, MIT did a study to try to figure out why that was.

01:15:43.660 And you know what I'm going to say.

01:15:46.420 You didn't really need to do that study.

01:15:48.440 You could have just asked me because I can tell you with complete authority and certainty why legal contracts are written in weird jargon that even lawyers have trouble reading.

01:16:01.580 Are you ready?

01:16:03.160 Number one, sometimes the language is overly complicated to make sure they don't leave something out.

01:16:11.200 But you could probably accomplish that with ordinary language as well.

01:16:16.000 So that's not the top thing.

01:16:18.440 The top thing is that you're not going to pay your lawyer to write something you could have written yourself.

01:16:24.960 You're not going to pay your lawyer to write something you would have written yourself.

01:16:29.780 And then when you need to revise a contract, you don't need to call a lawyer because it's just written in plain English.

01:16:36.380 So you go, oh, all right, we'll just get rid of this sentence and we'll add this sentence.

01:16:41.080 Are you good?

01:16:41.620 Yeah, I'm good.

01:16:42.100 But because you can't do that, you know, contracts are written so that things refer to other things and things have contingencies and they're so complicated that you would need a lawyer to know that any negotiated change won't have more impact than you hoped it would.

01:17:01.400 But the most important part is to make everybody sound smarter than they are.

01:17:07.140 It's the same thing in business.

01:17:09.720 So this is why the Dilbert filter works so well.

01:17:17.880 In business, people use lots of extra jargon to sound like they are smarter.

01:17:23.520 And it's that's the reason people want to appear smart.

01:17:31.340 And if you're a lawyer, you want to get paid.

01:17:33.860 So you want to be smart and also get paid.

01:17:36.880 So you use this weird, impenetrable legal language.

01:17:39.940 So everybody thinks, well, I couldn't have done that myself.

01:17:42.600 I certainly need to pay you thousands of dollars because there's no way I could have written this thing.

01:17:48.240 But what you didn't know is you could you could have just written it.

01:17:52.160 Probably would have been fine.

01:17:53.520 So something I used to do with my my first lawyer during my years of Dilbert contract negotiating, I was always doing contracts.

01:18:04.400 You know, being a cartoonist is so contract intensive.

01:18:07.440 It's crazy.

01:18:08.800 Every licensing deal, every publishing deal, they're all contracts.

01:18:13.440 So but then there would be smaller deals such as me hiring, hiring an assistant at one point.

01:18:20.640 And I had a contract.

01:18:24.380 So what I found with my lawyer is I would just write it in my own English and I would give it to him so that he'd know what I wanted in my contract.

01:18:33.320 And then he would rewrite it into weird legalese.

01:18:37.700 And then I would say, that's terrific.

01:18:39.960 Do you mind if I use my version?

01:18:42.000 Because yours is all complicated for no reason.

01:18:44.100 And he would say, well, yeah, you could do that.

01:18:49.680 And then I would say, well, what would be the downside of doing that?

01:18:53.400 You know, wouldn't it be better to have that with the one that's in plain English that both parties know exactly what they're doing?

01:19:00.720 Well, you could do that if you want to.

01:19:02.080 There's no real downside to that.

01:19:03.480 So it took a while, but my lawyer was kind of awesome and he did allow me to write things in plain English.

01:19:12.920 And then he made he made sure there was no mistake or something left out.

01:19:16.920 And then he would often do his own work far more, far more closely aligned with ordinary language than normal.

01:19:24.620 So you can get that done.

01:19:28.060 You can write things in your own language and ask your lawyer, what did I leave out?

01:19:32.940 And that works pretty well.

01:19:35.120 All right.

01:19:35.800 Ladies and gentlemen, we've gone on way too long.

01:19:39.340 Well, not too long.

01:19:40.620 Thanks for joining.

01:19:43.720 I'm going to say some words privately to the local subscribers.

01:19:47.740 So goodbye to the people on X and YouTube and Rumble and locals, people, I'm coming at you.
