Transcript
00:00:00.480
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization
00:00:17.320
it's called coffee with scott adams and uh one of my streams is not working today
00:00:23.040
but i think we're doing fine on rumble and youtube and x uh those of you who are coming over from
00:00:31.200
the locals platform looks like it's got a little glitch this morning but everything else is working
00:00:36.000
fine and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with
00:00:41.160
their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass a tank of chalice
00:00:46.720
is dying a canteen jug of flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee
00:00:54.440
and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure dopamines end of the day the thing that makes
00:01:00.400
everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now
00:01:05.300
ah so good you know i feel bad for all those podcasters who take sundays off
00:01:18.780
and they don't get to enjoy this experience the best thing ever
00:01:23.620
and did you know it's national coffee day that's right today is national coffee day
00:01:32.120
so if there were if ever there was a day to enjoy it that's today anyway uh scott presler is saying
00:01:40.680
that there are about 20 000 amish people in pennsylvania who could really use a visit by trump
00:01:47.680
i think you i think scott's suggesting a rally but i would suggest not a rally i don't think you want to
00:01:57.280
do a rally with the amish i think you want to just um stop on main street talk to a bunch of locals
00:02:06.260
and find out what they care about make your pitch and if there are only 20 000 amish
00:02:12.060
and the president of the united states stops near main street without warning and just starts talking
00:02:18.340
to people everybody's gonna know i think it would be actually more effective to just go in person
00:02:27.280
be there physically talk to a bunch of people for an hour and word will get around that might be enough
00:02:35.000
to swing the state and swing the election and change civilization so amish it's up to you guys
00:02:43.420
the fate of civilization comes down to the people who have no technology maybe that's perfect maybe
00:02:53.720
well anyway there's a lot of uh polling that shows that trump is preferred in policies and capability on
00:03:05.780
the big stuff you know like borders and economies and wars but um harris is still preferred on the
00:03:14.780
and i feel like what we need to remind people is that sometimes you need dirty harry
00:03:23.860
and sometimes you need mary poppins it really depends what your problem is
00:03:29.920
if your problem is you need some babysitting mary poppins i would not get dirty harry
00:03:36.320
which is based on a movie in case you're in case you're too young you don't know there's a movie
00:03:40.820
with clint eastwood he plays dirty harry a cop who wants to do the right things but sometimes he
00:03:47.160
breaks the rules he breaks the rules so that's like trump so do we have problems in this country
00:03:54.800
that are the dirty harry kind of problems where the thing that really matters is you solve the
00:04:00.260
problems it doesn't really matter about the personality of the person solving the problems
00:04:05.500
or is it more of a what sure would be nice if we had a babysitter and then you get mary poppins
00:04:12.900
you don't really need the one with the gun for that so i would argue that we're in dirty harry
00:04:18.700
mode in the country we're not in mary poppins mode and so vote accordingly get yourself a dirty harry
00:04:26.360
we need one um i just saw on a post on x from uh joel pollack that uh apparently lindsey graham
00:04:36.940
just appeared on jake tapper's show on cnn and referred to uh i think this is literally true
00:04:44.040
referred to kamala harris's uh policies as quote batshit crazy
00:04:49.880
i guess trump uh said that kamala harris uh he said that biden became impaired
00:05:00.120
but kamala harris was born that way she was born impaired
00:05:05.900
and so of course jake tapper has to ask a republican to speak to that
00:05:11.780
and lindsey graham should he just says her policies are batshit crazy
00:05:17.180
now i hope he actually used the literal term batshit crazy because you know that's one of my
00:05:24.260
all-time favorites so i've been using it a lot and and i would say that when we're looking at the
00:05:31.940
harris versus trump policies there's lots about the trump policies that you might choose to not like
00:05:39.200
but they're not batshit crazy they're perfectly normal things that we've done through the you
00:05:46.920
know the entire history of the republic protect the border for example and her policies are literally
00:05:54.520
batshit crazy and i object to treating them as their different policy proposals they're not different
00:06:03.160
policy proposals one is a set of policies that you might like you might not that's trump
00:06:09.680
but one of them is just batshit crazy it's shit that you shouldn't even consider it barely it looks
00:06:16.760
like a policy you don't even know what what her policy is half the time because she's flip-flopping
00:06:21.800
so yeah we should get out of that model that's a competing policies it doesn't feel like that
00:06:28.780
all right remember i keep telling you that uh the movie that we're in requires a kraken
00:06:35.740
for trump to have a proper third act experience you know like a movie has a third act where you get out
00:06:42.560
of the the deepest hole and you you somehow prevail in the end like a movie he needs some kind of kraken
00:06:51.000
some kind of evidence that elections have been bad in the past that would really put him over the top
00:07:00.600
i think well here's something interesting um apparently the federal ninth circuit
00:07:08.140
and uh the supreme court will be presented in uh georgia what what's the federal ninth circuit and
00:07:17.560
i don't know what that means but anyway there's an appellate court i guess if that's the right word
00:07:25.000
that's looking at the claims from cary lake and uh the maricopa situation that the dominion machines
00:07:33.640
uh among other problems but specifically that it did not protect its encrypted keys
00:07:40.920
so the so-called encryption keys on the dominion machines allegedly i don't personally know but
00:07:49.560
allegedly they were in plain text instead of encrypted as there was some commitment to do contractually
00:07:57.320
so i don't know what it would mean if the court agreed and i don't know how they could lose the case
00:08:06.200
because they're going to show screenshots of the encryption keys in plain text
00:08:12.440
so i don't think i don't think the defense is going to look at the plain text and say oh but it is
00:08:17.960
encrypted look at it and then everybody's going to say i'm just reading it it's in plain text oh no it's
00:08:24.680
not it's encrypted but what exactly would be the defense how could you defend against a screenshot
00:08:31.640
now i'm just guessing there's a screenshot it seems like likely there would be um so we'll see now if
00:08:38.840
it's like every other major kraken we expected it won't pan out so so far dominion has a real good
00:08:47.160
record of winning in these court cases but this one certainly looks different than the others
00:08:52.520
because the claim seems so insanely provable but i also don't know what it means if it is proven
00:09:02.040
is the remedy just uh well go fix that next time it's not like we're going to go back in time and
00:09:08.600
change any of our elections i don't think anybody's going to jail so what would it even mean if we found
00:09:15.160
out that the machines in the past the last election had some encryption you know failure
00:09:24.440
so i don't know but certainly it would change the news cycle if you know if we believe that the news
00:09:31.080
would cover the actual news um so we'll see keep an eye on that well uh i think it's tuesday that waltz
00:09:40.360
and vance are going to have their vp debate the only one and uh cnn is reporting that tim waltz is all
00:09:47.320
nervous and that he doesn't want to let down kamal harris and he thinks he's a bad debater do you think
00:09:55.400
tim waltz believes he's a bad debater uh cnn reporting it and uh so there are reports that he's just super
00:10:05.000
super nervous about going into the debate um now vance i think would be top five percent of debaters i think
00:10:14.360
he'd be one of the the best ones we've ever seen i think everything's working here your comments are
00:10:21.800
a little bit slow on this platform but here they are all right looking good all right so uh
00:10:31.000
so let's say he's uh real nervous so he's going to be using some advice uh obviously tim also be
00:10:38.840
prepared lots of preparation i'm sure he'll do a good job of preparation and don't you
00:10:44.280
expect that since it's vance there will be at least two waves of cat related attacks
00:10:51.480
so tim waltz will probably come with the haitian eating the cats thing oh he's such a racist he
00:10:59.080
says that the haitians are eating cats right we'd expect that that would be very you know very easy
00:11:05.160
to predict we would also expect that tim waltz would say something about um vance's past comment
00:11:13.000
about single cat ladies so the the single cat owning women being the dominant part of the democrat
00:11:20.520
party is something that vance has said so there are two attacks on vance that weirdly are cat related
00:11:29.240
also they're not really important so what happens if vance if waltz comes up with some cat related
00:11:38.520
attacks what should vance do well i'm going to give you some persuasion tips today here's what i would
00:11:46.600
do uh let's say and i i posted this so if anybody in the campaign sees that they would have the option
00:11:54.040
of borrowing it but suppose uh wall says something like blah blah blah you know you said the haitians
00:12:01.880
reading cats or blah blah blah you said single cat ladies here would be a good vance reply
00:12:09.800
quote it's not a quote yet but you can imagine it would be uh the public knows a trump administration
00:12:16.840
will perform best at protecting the border growing the economy and avoiding war they also know that a
00:12:23.240
harris waltz team would excel at cat related rhetoric and i think we can concede that
00:12:28.600
and we're done if waltz brings up anything involving cats the kill shot is to say yeah you know we're good
00:12:41.240
on the economy the border and avoiding wars but i have to agree when it comes to talking about anything
00:12:47.720
about cats that other team is much better done just done well once once the harris waltz team realizes
00:13:01.000
that if they talk about cats while the other team is talking about rescuing america from doom
00:13:08.600
the cat people aren't going to win so yes if you'd like to talk about cats i'm going to agree you're
00:13:14.200
better at talking about cats who's better at talking about the border you know whose tax plan do you
00:13:19.880
like better it's it's basically a total kill shot if they bring up cats all right according to the
00:13:27.880
post-millennial here's a story that i believe because it agrees with my observations doesn't mean
00:13:36.520
the data is always correct but when it agrees with me i embrace it
00:13:41.640
so uh apparently voters at the earliest age you can vote from 18 to 24 are identifying more as
00:13:49.960
conservative than liberal according to a harvard youth poll now that would be a big big change
00:13:58.920
if the youngest people are more conservative than liberal and by the way i have observed that
00:14:05.880
so you know just based on my anecdotal life experience even in blue california northern
00:14:12.280
california it does seem to me every time i hear from you know young people that there's way more
00:14:20.200
conservatives than you would expect at that age don't know why it might be a trump effect it could be
00:14:25.640
just i don't know maybe it's the easiest way to be rebellious these days i'm not sure what's behind it
00:14:31.080
but the the age a little bit above that is still more liberal so young people
00:14:38.760
who are a little bit older than the youngest of the young people still more liberal than conservative
00:14:46.600
well there's a lot of talk on social media about uh tim waltz being uh let's say
00:14:52.280
uh an interesting person the way he moves his body uh i don't know if you know but i've been studying
00:14:59.880
tim waltz and he is and let me start by saying this if you've been watching me a long time you know
00:15:07.240
you know i love the lgbtq community and uh i'd love to have a gay president or a gay vice president
00:15:15.000
i think we probably had several we just didn't know it uh doesn't mean anything to me you can do
00:15:20.360
whatever you want your free time but i i just don't have any interest whatsoever in anybody's sexuality
00:15:26.760
so i don't care what you are but it's part of the story and the part of the story is that tim waltz is
00:15:33.400
very flamboyant it doesn't mean he's gay it just means that his physical emotions uh remind us of
00:15:44.120
richard simmons more than they remind you of out of mike tyson or dana white or somebody
00:15:51.880
and i've been studying his motions and i want to show you all the tim waltz emotions we've got the
00:15:58.200
one hand up we've got the other hand up we've got the two hands up
00:16:08.280
and then we've got the claps like a seal have you seen claps like a seal
00:16:13.320
puts the elbows together ends up that's not even clapping clapping is like this
00:16:20.440
clapping like a seal is like that and then he does the uh the limp wrist and then the point
00:16:28.600
so the point you know the point is obvious it's just this but he likes to do the limp wrist when he
00:16:34.280
does the point so limp wrist point and then he does the open palms where he goes so if you put it all
00:17:08.760
yeah it's probably more than you needed meanwhile msnbc is doing this hilarious attempt to uh add some
00:17:21.000
testicles to uh waltz and they're trying to redefine masculinity so they're redefining masculinity so that
00:17:29.640
what it really means if you're an msnbc watcher real masculinity is being able to support a powerful
00:17:36.760
woman and being both sensitive and flamboyant and if you can do those things you're a man at least on msnbc
00:17:47.000
all right so are you having this situation that i'm having i'm experiencing a thing
00:17:56.600
and the thing i'm experiencing is that every story reminds me of a ditty party
00:18:04.040
is that just me all the stories makes me think of ditty so it doesn't even matter what it is so
00:18:12.200
there's a story in science now that uh according to the washington post there might be a low-tech
00:18:18.760
solution for storing carbon and uh it involves putting your log in a hole
00:18:29.640
why does every story just remind me of a ditty party i don't know but apparently if you bury your wood
00:18:36.840
in a hole and keep it there you can sequester some carbon in that hole so bury your wood in a hole
00:18:47.080
that's my recommendation well according to sci blog uh-oh science is racist
00:18:58.280
you know i wish science would not be so racist but listen to this
00:19:03.880
this apparently they say that vitamin d deficiency can lower the iq of a child or to put it in more
00:19:13.240
positive terms the higher your vitamin d level of the mother of the of the mother i believe
00:19:20.760
the higher the iq of the child now the first question you might ask is is that data
00:19:26.920
real or bs well it could be a correlation as opposed to a causation meaning that maybe the
00:19:34.920
people who get the most vitamin d are also the people who just make sure they do everything else
00:19:40.440
right if you did everything else right because you're just one of those people who says what do
00:19:45.880
i need to do vitamin d okay i'll do it what do i need to do uh eat less uh sugar okay i'll do it what
00:19:53.080
do i need to do eat uh drink less alcohol when i'm pregnant absolutely what do i need to do quit
00:19:59.480
smoking if i'm pregnant done so i suspect that there's a really high correlation between people
00:20:07.320
who supplement their vitamin d and people who do everything right so i would be one of those examples
00:20:15.400
right i supplement my vitamin d but i also have a lifestyle in which that would be normal for me
00:20:23.000
because i've got a you know clean diet and i exercise and i don't drink alcohol and i don't
00:20:28.120
smoke cigarettes and you know so i don't know that vitamin d is a cause of anybody's higher iq but
00:20:37.800
we do know that vitamin d seems to be uh implicated in a whole range of things that are important
00:20:44.840
for a human to operate so it wouldn't be a surprise if it turns out that it's causation and not
00:20:50.920
just correlation but you have to watch out for the correlation aspect however here's where it gets
00:20:57.080
all racist uh they threw this in the mix in this story that uh black pregnant mothers uh have less
00:21:07.960
vitamin d now some of that is just because the melatonin or the pigment of the skin so you absorb less sun
00:21:15.640
so just less efficient and absorbing and maybe a little less likely to supplement with vitamin d
00:21:22.200
i'm sure there's an income related correlation to that so according to science
00:21:29.000
the black babies would be lower iq and you could predict that based on the lower vitamin d
00:21:39.480
of the mothers now i don't think i'm buying this completely
00:21:46.360
it does seem like it's a good idea to supplement your vitamin d but i think that's as far as i'm going
00:21:51.560
on this one um and i'm a little surprised i went there but here's my reframing persuasion play and
00:22:00.920
i'll give you a little bit more of this on another story
00:22:07.320
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package
00:22:11.800
learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you think
00:22:18.840
here's what i care about i care about individuals so if there's an individual who needs some help
00:22:28.360
i'm all in can i help you're like a person especially if you're an american person american
00:22:35.480
hey i'm american too the rest doesn't matter i don't care about your sex or your religion or your
00:22:42.600
or your gender or your race i'm happy to help but here's what i'm not interested in
00:22:51.320
the average of people who look like you i don't care i don't care if the average of people that
00:22:59.320
you've decided to put in some group is doing better or worse than the average of some people that you
00:23:04.840
decided to put in a group why should i care about that then you say but but there's been systemic
00:23:11.560
racism for centuries and then i'd say i agree but why should i care well because it makes a big
00:23:20.520
difference and this one group is identifiably doing worse because of all these systemic racism
00:23:26.920
true but you didn't answer my question why should i care you just told me why they should care
00:23:34.200
if it were me i'd care but why should i care well because you did well and people look like
00:23:42.760
you did well and other people didn't do well and it's because of the system so you need to fix that
00:23:51.000
to which i say why you didn't give me a reason what's the connecting logic to that i understand
00:23:57.640
other people have problems how does that affect me well people who look like you were guilty of it and
00:24:04.200
and maybe you got some benefits from looking the way you were okay suppose i accept all that is true
00:24:10.200
why do i care see if you if you can make people think past the sale to why you should care
00:24:19.800
then you're going to get them in this argument where they're going to decide whether systemic
00:24:24.040
racism exists or not it's easy to probably pretty easy to show it does and then the question is how
00:24:30.440
much money do you owe me because people who look like me who are not here had a bad time and some of
00:24:37.240
the ripple effect is coming into the future to which i say that's all true guess what your problems are
00:24:43.080
not special here's a list of my problems but but i didn't cause your problems well you did cause some
00:24:50.520
of them you did cause some of them but i'm not complaining about that i'm just saying my problems
00:24:56.680
mean a lot to me and i care about them a lot do you know what your problems mean to me
00:25:02.440
and an individual level i totally care as a group average i don't care i will never care about your group
00:25:10.600
average i will definitely care about you individually and i'll help if i can it's the only thing that
00:25:16.200
makes sense now can i find a story in the news that would be compatible with what i just said yes
00:25:23.800
apparently uh um the crown prince of saudi arabia a person you'd expect to be very interested in the
00:25:32.440
palestinian cause has said out loud and as clearly as he possibly can he's not concerned with the
00:25:39.720
palestinians just doesn't care and i said to myself oh my god he's as smart as i thought he was
00:25:49.560
because when the when the crown prince of saudi arabia got the job and and he seemed like a
00:25:55.800
deal maker and he seemed he just seemed like a different kind of character now i'm not going to
00:26:00.680
defend everything he's done you know if he chopped somebody up with a bone saw not depend not defending
00:26:06.840
it but it's also a different world so you know i'm neither i'm neither uh you know disavowing it or
00:26:17.560
defending it because you know there may be more to that whole bone saw story than we really know
00:26:22.920
but if you're just looking at is he a smart persuasive leader i think he's got the goods
00:26:32.200
he looks like he's got the goods and in my opinion that was exactly the right answer
00:26:37.080
what he should care about the palestinians is basically not it's just not his job and if anybody
00:26:44.680
tells him he should the question would be why well the palestinians have been they would say
00:26:51.640
abused for many years and then he would say i know but then why should i care well because history and
00:27:01.800
and also they're they're um they're muslim and you're muslim well right but i'm in charge of this country
00:27:09.080
i know but but the history and the bad treatment and their land and stuff right so why should i care
00:27:18.520
that's exactly the right the right answer is why should you care we really are completely busy taking
00:27:25.480
care of ourselves and i'm here to tell you that if you do a really good job of taking care of yourself
00:27:33.080
that's the best thing you can do for me it's probably the best thing you can do for anybody
00:27:38.120
because then at least you have some ability to take care of other people if you want to but take care
00:27:44.280
of yourself first meanwhile hillary has a book and uh it's a dana perino on the five saying she wishes
00:27:54.360
hillary wouldn't publish a book right around an election because she's out there calling republicans
00:28:01.320
deplorables again selling this book the book is called something lost something gained and they've
00:28:09.240
got of course a big picture of hillary clinton on the cover and she's got that democrat psychopath
00:28:15.720
smile you know the ones where the where the eyes and the mouth don't match it's it's that the no teeth
00:28:22.520
are shown and again i'll do the impression here would be my impression of a normal mentally healthy
00:28:29.080
person smiling yeah look at that that's my smile now i'm faking it but that even looks more there
00:28:38.120
here is a a psychopath pretending to be a person who smiles on the cover of hillary's book
00:28:46.360
yeah the psychopath closed lip smile that doesn't match the eyes so creepy
00:28:59.560
anyway apparently the book she says it's about friendship aging and marriage
00:29:04.200
okay well if i want to learn how to be a happy married person i think of hillary clinton
00:29:17.640
all right um apparently uh there are more students who want to go to college in
00:29:24.120
southern colleges and it's a pretty big shift instead of people wanting to go
00:29:28.920
to those nice old uh colleges in the northeast apparently the uh freer the freer life in the
00:29:39.640
south is uh attracting people i think it's an escape from wokeness so the wokeness is actually causing
00:29:47.960
you know the 18 to 24 year olds to be more conservative because they're rebelling against it
00:29:53.720
and also the uh college experience the young people are are just opting out of the wokeness
00:30:01.560
well meanwhile this is horrible there the uh hurricane just wiped out an entire town uh called
00:30:08.520
chimney rock uh looks like their entire main street got wiped away now i have to tell you that that hits
00:30:15.960
me a little harder than maybe it hits you because you're just thinking well it's a small town
00:30:22.040
if nobody got killed things happen but uh i i grew up in a small town and we lived on a hill
00:30:30.440
that happened to be just above the main street of my tiny little town windham new york the casco
00:30:35.800
mountains so very much a mountainous you know tree line kind of place just like this town that got wiped
00:30:42.040
away and we too had an experience with a flood now i recall it vividly even though i must have been
00:30:49.400
four or something i don't know i was really young and we were up on the hill and we looked into the
00:30:56.360
town because literally we're just on hill just above the town so we could see the cars drive by and see
00:31:02.920
people walking around they were that close and we saw people just taking stuff out of their houses and
00:31:09.000
throwing it in their cars like like they're running away from something and we're watching this and
00:31:15.080
you know we get on our binoculars and like um what do they know that we don't know
00:31:21.960
so suddenly we realized we better find out what they know because they're all packing up their
00:31:27.720
shit and they're really in a hurry and people are just like you can see the people just like running
00:31:33.080
for it and so we we drove uh just close enough to town to ask the first person what's going on
00:31:41.560
and they said the dam broke so there's a dam several miles away that broke and there was a wall of water
00:31:48.760
coming toward our town and we had a warning it was just a wall of water and they knew it was coming
00:31:56.200
the dam broke so we quickly went back to our hill and stood in front of our big window and in the
00:32:03.000
front and we watched a flood just bury my town now most of it recovered it wasn't it wasn't above the
00:32:11.720
roofs you know it was like i'm not sure how tall it might have been five maybe five feet of water and
00:32:18.840
some people's you know ground floors and stuff so it really wiped out you know most of the
00:32:24.360
the most of the living experience it took a while to recover but when i when i went to uh buy my own
00:32:33.400
house that i was going to live in forever the one i'm in now one of the first things i looked for
00:32:38.840
was can i get the higher ground because you get you get scarred by that if happens when you're little
00:32:46.680
i'm not going to die in the flood now the lightning might get me the fires the venezuelan gangs but i
00:32:56.200
don't want to be in that situation i watched the town in where they were running for their lives
00:33:01.560
because a wall of water was coming their way so i'm on a hill searchlight pictures presents the
00:33:09.400
roses only in theaters august 29th from the director of meet the parents and the writer of poor things
00:33:15.400
comes the roses starring academy award winner olivia coleman academy award nominee benedict
00:33:21.240
cumberbatch andy sandberg kate mckinnon and allison janney a hilarious new comedy filled with drama
00:33:27.400
excitement and a little bit of hatred proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses see the
00:33:33.320
roses only in theaters august 29th get tickets now all right um apparently uh got some new york judges
00:33:43.160
they're looking at that according to the federalist there's a new york appellate court that's looking
00:33:48.200
at that attorney general letitia james case that trump had to pay 450 million in penalty because of a
00:33:56.440
loan that the bank liked and he paid back and everybody's happy and they'd love to do business
00:34:00.920
with him again but they say it inflated his assets on some paperwork which banks don't even look at
00:34:07.080
anyway they they don't pay attention to your paperwork when you put your own value on it they go check on
00:34:12.120
their own which they did so there was no victim in this crime nor any real chance there could have
00:34:18.360
been a victim because the process of the bank 100 of the time involves they go look themselves they
00:34:25.560
don't take your word for your asset value ever ever not once so there was no risk of anything
00:34:32.760
happening bad to anybody um and he's got to pay 450 million now obviously that's just lawfare and that
00:34:39.880
had nothing to do with what made sense in this case so um it might be interesting so i guess
00:34:47.880
there's some uh reporting that some of the judges might think it's kind of troubling the way that all
00:34:54.120
went down wouldn't that be interesting if that got reversed before the election i don't know if there's
00:35:01.240
time for that to happen but maybe maybe trump has said again that is rally quote if we win and when we
00:35:09.960
win we're going to prosecute people that cheat in this election and if we can we'll go back to the last
00:35:15.800
one too perfect yeah trump should be saying out loud and often that if you cheat in this election you're
00:35:25.080
going to jail and he started saying it now given that people think that it's at least a coin flip
00:35:31.880
whether he'll be president would you cheat in the election if you thought there was a 50 chance that
00:35:38.280
the person who won is going to come for you if you get caught it should reduce the amount of cheating
00:35:46.040
which is why he does it he's doing it to reduce the amount of cheating it should work all right um
00:35:54.920
meanwhile the department of justice this is one of those stories that tells you everything you need
00:35:59.640
to know did you have any questions about whether the democrats plan to rig the election maybe in ways
00:36:08.840
that are totally legal but still you would look at him and say hmm looks like you rigged that election
00:36:14.920
not in an illegal way but you still rigged it here's an example so the department of justice sued the state
00:36:21.960
of alabama and its top election official and they say that the problem is that the state of alabama
00:36:29.000
removed voters from the voting rolls um that were not eligible to vote
00:36:36.200
so they got sued let me say it again the state of alabama wanted to remove people from the voting
00:36:46.760
laws rule roles that didn't belong there and the department of justice is suing them under a
00:36:52.840
technicality because they're not supposed to change the voting rules within 90 days of the election but they
00:36:58.760
they did it within 84 days so it's something that's so desirable it's written into the law
00:37:06.440
that you can do it because everybody thinks it would be good to clean up the voter rolls but you have to
00:37:13.320
do it within 90 days which i can kind of see makes sense you know in case there's any challenge to it you've
00:37:19.320
got time to look at the challenges but do you think that they should be sued for doing it within 84 days
00:37:26.920
instead of 90 because you know 90 was a little bit arbitrarily chosen
00:37:32.040
it's not like something happens after the 90th day if 84 days looks like well that's looks good enough
00:37:41.880
that's what the courts should have said the courts should say uh or the department of justice should
00:37:47.880
say yeah technically it should have been 90 days but 84 is not bad given that everybody wanted it done
00:37:55.000
if nobody wanted it to be done if there was some reason to have non-voters on your rolls
00:38:00.280
well then you could question the deadline but if everybody agrees we don't want non-voters voting
00:38:08.680
your people are not eligible why is the difference between 84 and 90 days important enough for the
00:38:15.160
department of justice to sue the state i can only think of one answer the one answer is that the
00:38:23.720
democrats have some control over the department of justice and they're just trying to make sure
00:38:30.120
that the democrats win and that it's purely unethical and corrupt it might be illegal so
00:38:38.840
it would only be unethical and corrupt but possibly totally technically legal
00:38:47.160
all right here's a persuasion tip courtesy of rfk jr who did it better than you'll ever see it done
00:38:53.240
all right the tip goes like this if you're trying to persuade a crowd and by the way this would work
00:38:59.960
on one-to-one as well if you can get the the rally people to do something physically whether it's clapping
00:39:08.200
or talking or laughing or standing up or introducing themselves to their neighbor whatever it is
00:39:13.640
if you as the person talking can get them to do something physically it causes you to bond with
00:39:21.240
them so get them to do something and you will bond but if you can make the thing that they're doing also
00:39:29.320
funny you get a twofer so get them to do something but make them laugh while they're doing it
00:39:36.600
okay that's as good as you can get that would be persuasion at almost beyond a commercial level
00:39:44.920
that would be like wizard level you know the the great persuader level listen now now that you know
00:39:51.640
that they're getting people to do something and especially if it's funny that would just be the ultimate
00:39:56.520
home run listen to what rfk jr did at a recent uh event uh he he told the crowd to answer in a
00:40:05.240
kamala harris way so he'd already primed them for their answer that they were going to yell out
00:40:10.040
so the yelling out is getting them to act right and so kennedy says to the crowd after he's primed
00:40:16.440
them he says the next time your boss asks you why you were late for work what are you going to say
00:40:21.640
and the crowd says in unison i was born in the middle class the audience responds because that's
00:40:27.640
what harris would say to any economics question and then kennedy says and the next time your wife
00:40:33.560
asks you why you didn't take out the garbage what are you going to say and the crowd yells i was born
00:40:39.080
in the middle class um that's just perfect there are actually three things he put together there
00:40:49.320
like i said number one is getting them to physically move in this case move their their mouths uh getting
00:40:55.560
them to laugh while they're doing it that makes everything stickier you always remember what's funny
00:41:01.560
so it just makes it way stickier but then on top of that he gives you two examples which are very
00:41:07.000
relatable which is uh being late for work everybody's done that at least once and uh the question about
00:41:16.440
who takes out the garbage so he brings it down to this most relatable thing adds the action adds the humor
00:41:24.280
that's a three for you don't see briefers this is a whole different level of persuasion ability i don't
00:41:33.800
know how all the kennedys have this how do all the kennedys have this gift i'm actually curious about
00:41:41.240
that i don't know how they can all do it anyway um as greg price and other people have pointed out
00:41:48.840
greg's on x um it's been um more than a day since ice revealed these terrible crime numbers of the
00:42:00.040
criminals have been left in that have been brought in uh across the border 13 000 illegal alien murderers
00:42:07.320
and 16 000 rapists according to ice now you would think that ice would be a credible source because they
00:42:14.440
must be you know vetting people at least enough to know if they're criminals so that's their numbers
00:42:20.440
but in the day or so since that's happening uh the new york times ignored it the washington post ignored
00:42:26.360
it abc and cbs didn't cover it and neither did cnn well i'm not sure i would say that they didn't cover
00:42:34.040
it because i did see scott jennings got plenty of time to mention it so he's their token republican on cnn
00:42:42.760
so i think it means that they didn't do a story about it but to their credit again i'm going to give
00:42:51.160
them credit where where it makes sense to cnn's credit they did have a republican on and they gave
00:42:57.960
him time to say his thing and they didn't interrupt him and everybody listened to it so scott jennings does
00:43:05.320
help cnn at least get the you know some of the stories out that they don't focus on
00:43:09.960
so that's exactly what you think it is so does that look like a rigged election it does to me
00:43:19.400
yeah when i when i see that this big damning story that favors one one over the other one of the
00:43:25.640
candidates over the other and it's also one of the biggest issues the border and you just see them
00:43:30.360
ignore the most important question about the border which is how dangerous is it how dangerous is it
00:43:37.240
is the whole question they're ignoring the central question of the biggest topic hold that in your
00:43:45.720
head your most important entities and i've told you before that the new york times and the washington
00:43:51.400
post there's a common descriptor for them in the business they're called the news makers meaning that
00:43:59.240
when they say it's news all the lesser entities that do news then they're all free to say oh i guess
00:44:05.080
this is a big story now so then they cover it too but until the new york times and the washington post
00:44:10.760
say something is important the rest of the news industry at least the left-leaning part won't touch it
00:44:17.480
yeah and that happened also with watergate i don't know the details but i think there was a uh
00:44:26.760
a lesser news entity that had covered watergate before the washington posted i don't know the
00:44:32.520
details of this so i could be wrong about this but it wasn't until the washington post covered it became
00:44:37.160
everybody's national story so is this election rigging yes this is unambiguous election rigging
00:44:48.200
if one of the biggest stories of the the most salient important part of the biggest story which is how
00:44:55.320
much crime is coming into the country if you ignore that when it comes from a credible source
00:45:01.720
that's election interference you can't tell me that that's just a decision what news to cover
00:45:08.520
no that is just flat out election interference and i don't think there's a doubt about it at this point

carey was at some event recently and he was complaining how our first amendment is a real impediment
00:46:24.360
to governing meaning that since information is not controlled people keep hearing things that he
00:46:31.640
believes they shouldn't hear and it makes them hard to control by the government it is so freaky to hear
00:46:38.440
them say it out loud and um he didn't really hold back anything so whatever you're whatever you're most
00:46:47.800
worried about your government censoring you john carey says it directly that the biggest problem
00:46:54.440
in governing is that people get their own information from sources they don't control
00:46:59.560
and therefore if they try to get a common opinion in the country get everybody on the same page so we
00:47:04.840
can do something you can never do it because too many people will have found the wrong story he would say
00:47:11.800
on the internet now the the first level of awareness of this is to understand that
00:47:24.920
the government does have an effect on free speech and wants to in other words they want to limit free
00:47:31.800
speech to things where the government still has some control over the populace so that's the first level
00:47:37.640
of awareness the it's the moment we say wait a minute are you saying that our own government
00:47:44.920
has a problem with the first amendment they they're the ones who should be defending the first amendment
00:47:50.520
but you're telling me that they're working against the first amendment maybe indirectly through the
00:47:55.080
censorship on the social media because the government doesn't want free speech
00:48:01.240
here's what i'm going to add i'm going to take you to the level of awareness above that one
00:48:08.440
no government can survive free speech and never has
00:48:15.400
unfortunately you can't survive free speech because everything would fall apart you wouldn't
00:48:21.720
know what was real now when you don't have free speech which is i believe the the common situation for
00:48:28.600
the entire history of america we imagined we had free speech because we thought walter cronkite was honest
00:48:37.640
what do you think now now that you know that the cia and the intelligence people of every country
00:48:44.520
every country be they democratic or be they dictatorship or anything else
00:48:49.640
all of them control their media and always have so if you're just finding out that the government
00:48:58.840
wants to control what you hear and see and think well welcome to the third level of awareness
00:49:05.800
if your if your awareness is that we used to have free speech but the government just recently is
00:49:14.440
finding out that they want to uh clamp down on it that's not what's happening
00:49:18.600
no we have never had free speech it's just we found out finding out you never had it
00:49:29.240
i know that's hard to hear if you're just finding out that in america we've never really had free
00:49:37.720
speech or even close really because the the media was just propaganda machine always was and uh we
00:49:45.800
think we have free speech but if you had an opinion that that the mainstream media didn't want to air
00:49:53.160
it didn't matter if we had free speech nobody was going to hear it
00:49:55.640
it so the truth is when it comes to the media anyway there's no country that can survive free
00:50:02.280
speech it would be too chaotic they have to control it to keep the country together
00:50:08.360
i don't like that don't love it not good for me it's just true no country can survive real free
00:50:18.040
speech but every country is better off if they have the fake kind
00:50:25.000
all right uh i'm gonna do a little uh little bragging here on my long range predicting
00:50:33.800
now as you know like everybody else i don't get all my predictions right but um when i get them right
00:50:41.640
i like to tell you and when i get them wrong you usually tell me but i usually try to mention it
00:50:47.560
just to be fair so this is part of you know you analyzing whether you should listen to any of my
00:50:53.240
predictions because if i never got one right you probably shouldn't listen to any others but if i
00:50:59.160
got a few right that were surprising then maybe you should pay a little extra attention next time i have
00:51:05.400
one for example um i've said for 20 years that moderate drinking is not really good for you even though
00:51:12.520
science said it was i'm right about that i've told you that there's no way that climate change can
00:51:19.480
measure the temperature accurately enough to know exactly what's going on
00:51:24.520
science isn't there yet but it will be you know it will be so i'll be i'll be you know 10 years ahead
00:51:31.560
of that and i think you know that i'll be right about that um i've been saying that uh in addition to
00:51:38.200
saying that alcohol is poison i've been saying that our food supply is poison i think i was one
00:51:45.480
of the early ones on that but not i'm not like the pioneer who's talking about our um our nutrition
00:51:52.280
but i'm one of the people who said um i think our food supply is actually poisoned
00:51:59.720
now probably for a long time a lot of you thought that's a little bit of hyper release scott
00:52:04.920
we have good food we have bad food but if you just concentrate on the things you know are good
00:52:09.480
for you you'll be fine doesn't turn out that's true so it's not just the highly processed stuff
00:52:15.960
there's something wrong with a lot of stuff maybe from fertilizer who knows i don't know the details but
00:52:22.840
you're every day now i see somebody prominent who's getting a lot of attention saying our food supply
00:52:29.480
is literally poison so i'm going to say i was early on that one how about uh you've watched me for 10
00:52:37.320
years or so say that nuclear is the solution it's not the problem now pretty much in a bipartisan way
00:52:47.720
every scientist every person who cares about the green world are all really pro-nuclear all of a sudden
00:52:53.960
but i was early it was probably 10 years out of that saying maybe 20 i just wasn't doing it in public
00:53:02.600
how about the first person who said that uh trump is not a clown he's the most persuasive person in
00:53:10.360
politics i was the first one to say it that his persuasion was through the roof and now that's just
00:53:17.080
understood even people who hate him say okay we hate him but i have to admit he sure persuaded
00:53:24.200
45 percent of the country and that's no joke so i was early on that and now i'm telling you that no
00:53:33.080
no country can survive free speech maybe in 10 years that will be common knowledge at the moment it hurts
00:53:41.400
just to hear it so there's that i've also predicted and this has not come true but i feel confident about
00:53:50.200
it the ai will not take your art job or your humor job because those things are based on the reason you
00:53:59.080
like any form of art is because it appeals to your mating instinct meaning that you're thinking of the
00:54:05.320
artist oh my goodness a human being made this and i'd like to mate with them even if you're not thinking
00:54:12.200
consciously about mating with them that's what's that's the thing that's getting tickled in your
00:54:17.640
subconscious is your mating instinct and since you don't mate with ai it doesn't matter how good a job
00:54:23.720
it does could be a great job and wouldn't matter
00:54:31.160
all right this there's a new uh poll on the swing states this is from atlas intel somebody said they're
00:54:37.560
one of the more accurate ones um i don't know personally but somebody on social media said they're
00:54:43.000
one of the more accurate ones um but this one has north carolina um
00:54:48.520
um wait a minute i'm having trouble reading these well it looks like trump would be up in six
00:54:56.920
out of seven of the polls if if that's what's going on um if i'm reading this right it's a really bad
00:55:06.920
bad organized data i think it's saying that trump is doing well anyway
00:55:15.640
uh uh uh well let's do an update on lebanon so um i saw a uh i saw a long uh message uh by jared
00:55:31.400
kushner talking about uh lebanon and hezbollah and israel and uh summarizing a long point that was well
00:55:40.600
written um kushner basically said it's go time that israel would be crazy if they don't take care
00:55:51.080
of hezbollah now because there's never going to be a better chance remember i've told you so october 7th
00:55:59.480
is still fresh enough in people's minds so that gives them all the everything they need apparently
00:56:05.560
israel is way better at war than we knew because they just took out the communications and the entire
00:56:11.320
leadership of hezbollah at somewhat minimal um external casualties and they seem to be able to
00:56:21.560
do it at will i don't know the degree to which they've penetrated with intelligence but it looks
00:56:26.680
like they can take out the leadership anytime they want so if they get a new one that's just going to
00:56:31.160
disappear so i would agree with kushner you don't have to be pro israel i i remind you that i don't
00:56:39.320
support israel as a country because they don't support me is that fair at the very least they should be on
00:56:48.840
my side you know i'm not not just picking random people in the world to support how about if you
00:56:56.040
support me i'll support you but that's not the situation so instead i'm just an observer and as
00:57:02.680
an observer it wouldn't matter if it was israel or the or the opposite i'd be saying the same thing from
00:57:09.480
a military um political standpoint israel will never see this situation again this is the only team the
00:57:20.440
time they could go in and just mow the lawn take care of business maybe degrade hezbollah permanently
00:57:27.400
maybe so if they don't do it it would just honestly it would look like the biggest geopolitical mistake
00:57:37.640
of a hundred years i mean they have this mortal threat and this one opening that may never happen
00:57:44.600
again where people are going to say well we don't like it but i can see why you did it
00:57:50.280
and then you know you add to that uh the crown prince of saudi arabia saying he doesn't care about
00:57:55.880
the palestinians that's sort of a that's sort of a you know a signal to do what you need to do
00:58:04.280
i think he's just doesn't need the distraction of the palestinians always pestering him for something
00:58:09.880
yes and netanyahu uh has a a golden situation because there's no american leadership and that's
00:58:22.440
the perfect situation no leadership and even other countries are going to look at it and say
00:58:29.080
uh the other countries are going to look at it and say the npcs are weighing in i can tell when all
00:58:37.240
they do is insult me that you don't have any argument so made of scars says you're a joke scott
00:58:46.200
if you had any real point i'm pretty sure you would have mentioned it
00:58:52.840
is there something i'm missing is there a fact that would be important that i haven't mentioned
00:59:00.120
is there some context i'm leaving out you use your words see otherwise you just look like a drunk
00:59:08.360
retard use your words what is it that you're disagreeing with
00:59:24.520
all right well that has shut you up yeah get a little get a little smarter in your comments
00:59:30.520
take your game up that this is not the dumb the dumb podcast if you want to watch a dumb podcast
00:59:37.160
you should go watch uh you thought i was going to put a name in there but i wasn't
00:59:40.680
all right that quieted you down all right and apparently israel killed another top hezbollah official
00:59:51.400
um i would not want to be the new leader of hezbollah
00:59:55.080
i would not and relative to nothing if you're still wondering whether we live in a simulation
01:00:05.240
i would like to point out that the biggest issue in the campaign is the border and kamala harris
01:00:18.280
really of all the politicians in the world you had to pick somebody whose name is trump's signature
01:00:28.600
policy walls what are the odds of that are you telling me that that's a coincidence
01:00:41.480
why do i say they don't support me do they support you uh who are they supporting
01:00:50.840
no i say it because the adl has called me an anti-semite because they believe i doubt the holocaust
01:00:58.600
i've never even met anybody who doubts the holocaust i didn't even know that's the thing
01:01:04.920
but allegedly they think it's the thing and the head of the adl came after me now the adl does not
01:01:11.480
work for israel but obviously it would be within the domain of things that they could have an opinion
01:01:18.280
on and if they would care to support me well maybe i'd support them but right now we don't have a
01:01:25.400
relationship israel is doing nothing for me i'm doing nothing for them i'm just observing all right
01:01:51.400
constructive criticism all right well i guess we said everything we need to say
01:01:57.240
um i'm hoping the locals platform will be back up running soon and uh we'll talk to the talk to
