Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2613 CWSA 09⧸30⧸24

00:00:00.000 do do do do do do do do do do do do good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human

00:00:08.500 civilization it's called coffee with scott adams by the way my new book um it's well it's an

00:00:14.700 updated book win bigly second edition available now but only in hardcover and you can see it now

00:00:22.820 up on the screen if you get the blue one the one that's got the blue background the one you can see

00:00:27.900 that's the updated one if you go to amazon you'll have trouble finding it amazon has hidden it so

00:00:35.420 amazon is not allowing the uh the kindle version or the soft cover we couldn't even get them improved

00:00:42.140 and we can't can't even figure out why they're not approved we can't get any action on amazon so is it

00:00:48.080 a big fucking coincidence that the book that says that trump is good at his job is the one that they 0.66

00:00:53.800 can't get published no probably not probably not a coincidence so you're gonna have to look extra

00:00:59.460 hard if you want to see what's real and what's true and thwart amazon so that's what the the book is it's

00:01:06.000 a win bigly but look for the one with the blue background that's the updated one the other ones

00:01:11.540 i don't get money for by the way if you buy the the one with the old one with the black background

00:01:16.200 i don't get anything i get zero money from that so please don't buy the one with the black background

00:01:23.980 all right let's go back to a better picture of me

00:01:28.860 there we go anyway if you'd like to take this experience up to levels and nobody can understand

00:01:36.740 with their shiny tiny human brains all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tank or gel sistein a 0.99

00:01:41.800 canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee

00:01:45.800 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes

00:01:50.540 everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go

00:01:55.280 delightful no there is no audiobook yet for win bigly um everything that i'm doing has been

00:02:08.100 stopped by one kind of platform or another uh it's always a technical problem yeah there's a

00:02:14.760 technical problem no matter what i do there's a technical problem that applies to my material but

00:02:21.180 not other people's and no i don't think it's a coincidence so if you want any of my materials

00:02:28.840 you're gonna have to work for it and if you want the dilbert calendar page a day calendar which got

00:02:33.980 canceled for last year but it's back made in america uh the only place you can find it is go to dilbert.com

00:02:41.940 if you go to dilbert.com it'll have the link to uh to buy it you won't be able to find it anywhere

00:02:48.260 else in the world it's not going to be on amazon anyway did you know that the ceo of netflix

00:02:55.020 endorsed kamala harris which apparently is setting off a wave of cancellations which makes me ask the

00:03:02.840 following question why would the ceo of a major consumer company um endorse the candidate knowing

00:03:13.080 it would be devastating for the shareholders why would you do that that doesn't seem like that's a

00:03:22.820 violation of your fiduciary responsibilities if i invest in a company and they come out and endorse

00:03:29.720 a candidate and make 50 of their base aid them i'm not going to be too happy with that ceo 1.00

00:03:36.060 now nothing to do with the politics of it why would you as a ceo do something so freaking stupid 1.00

00:03:44.140 i mean that's just stupid isn't it so how do you explain it well i've got a suggestion 1.00

00:03:52.540 one way to explain it i don't know if this is the way but we're being conspiratorial today 0.98

00:03:58.620 you ready do you remember that uh in the early earlier part of the last century

00:04:05.000 that the cia was definitely talking to hollywood and making sure that the movies and the tvs were

00:04:11.740 compatible with the propaganda and brainwashing that the government wanted to do to the citizens

00:04:16.920 needed to make us patriotic and want to join the military and think that america is the best and all

00:04:23.660 that stuff so we know that there's a long history of the cia and the government meddling with our

00:04:31.700 major media entities what is our major media entity for movies you watch at home netflix

00:04:39.720 netflix do you think that netflix is completely independent and has no connection to dark parts

00:04:47.420 of the government which tell it what it can and cannot promote and which movies they should

00:04:51.520 float to the top and which ones should get the most exposure when it's recommended to people

00:04:56.400 well i don't know but if the cia is doing all those other things and they're leaving netflix alone

00:05:04.660 that would be more of a story netflix is the obvious place that the cia should put their lever

00:05:12.940 because it's the big movie outlet so if you were going to do if you're going to do any kind of control

00:05:19.740 over how people think you'd go for that one first which suggests that the founder may have a cozy

00:05:27.540 relationship with somebody within the government and may have more at stake than just the stock price

00:05:34.440 now i have no information whatsoever to imagine that anybody at netflix is working with anybody in

00:05:42.380 the government for any reason other than making money for their shareholders but when you see the ceo do

00:05:49.280 something that's so plainly and obviously bad for the stock price you must ask the following question

00:05:54.640 why why would you have a job that is specifically to make your stock price do well and then do

00:06:03.820 something that's so obviously terrible for it i mean really obviously and he would know it i mean

00:06:08.700 it's not like i'm not saying i'm smarter than him and therefore if he were smarter he would have

00:06:14.900 known that this recommendation would no everybody knows it a hundred percent of everybody in the

00:06:20.720 world knew that that would cost them a big amount of money but he did it anyway now i guess he's a

00:06:26.960 founder so he doesn't have to worry about being replaced by the board but if he hadn't been a

00:06:31.220 founder i would think the board should replace you if you do something that reckless but nope there's

00:06:38.700 probably more to this story and we don't know what it is economist mark zandy who uh is a fairly high

00:06:47.220 profile economist um i don't know if you've heard his name but if you're a nerd like me i've heard his

00:06:52.700 name and he had something to say about our current economy and he's an expert all right so here's an

00:07:00.720 expert economist you can trust an expert economist can you he's using data people he's going to use

00:07:09.140 data and i'm going to tell you the data you believe data don't you come on come on you don't believe data

00:07:16.220 and you don't believe experts i i you're just so cynical now you're so cynical all right i'm going

00:07:24.400 to read you what the expert economist said and then i want each of you who are not experts

00:07:30.400 you are not well some of you actually are economists but those of you who are not economists

00:07:35.740 i want you want you to see if you can find out what's wrong with this analysis now remember you're

00:07:42.900 not an expert and he is so this will be a tough challenge see if you can find the tiny small little

00:07:51.760 tiny almost imperceptible problem with this analysis okay you ready and mark zandy says i've

00:07:59.340 hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic but with last week's big gdp revisions

00:08:05.440 there is no denying it this is among the best performing economies in my 35 plus years as an

00:08:12.680 economist now he hasn't he hasn't uh justified his opinion yet but wait for it because it's based on

00:08:20.300 data and i think the data is the accepted data so listen to this he said economic growth is rip

00:08:28.740 roaring with real gdp up three percent over the past year unemployment is low at near four percent

00:08:34.980 consistent with full employment that's an economics term for saying that if it were less than it is

00:08:41.920 you know if if employment were any better it would cause inflation so that's how they say that they call

00:08:47.680 it a full employment so that would be great um inflation is fast closing in on feds two percent target

00:08:54.740 grocery prices rents and gas places are flat to down over the past year now remember he's not making

00:09:02.120 the mistake of saying that prices are down right he's an economist he's not a politician politicians

00:09:08.980 say stuff like oh prices are down no they're not they're way up inflation is not as bad as it used to

00:09:16.340 be it's just not but the the you know the base price is still way higher than it should be so he's smart

00:09:21.900 enough to know that you have to say it the right way so he's saying it the right way

00:09:27.100 and then he says households financial obligations are light and set to get lighter really household

00:09:35.040 financial obligations are light i didn't know that but he's probably right about that um oh with the fed

00:09:41.820 cutting rates okay so that's going to help interest rates will go down house prices have never been higher

00:09:47.640 well okay that's good if you own a house and most homeowners have more equity in their homes than

00:09:53.880 ever corporate profits are robust and the stock market is hitting a record high and seemingly

00:09:58.840 daily basis and he says uh you know of course there's some other things all right so what is the

00:10:06.600 problem with his analysis do you see anything is there anything he left out

00:10:11.320 did you see any any variable that you think might matter that's left out

00:10:21.640 the national debt

00:10:24.920 that the national debt is on an unambiguous path toward complete destruction of the united states

00:10:32.840 i feel like that should be mentioned there's not a single thing that he mentioned that's going well

00:10:39.160 that would be going well if we hadn't borrowed and spend more than we have all of those things he

00:10:46.360 says are good are based on the fact that we have a existential doom cloud like we've never seen 36

00:10:53.800 trillion dollars worth of debt and we don't have any way of paying it back do you know how i can make

00:10:59.000 you all rich i can make you all rich right now i'll give you all a 10 million dollar loan that you never have

00:11:06.680 to pay back hey i just fixed everything i just made everybody rich look at me give me a give me some kind

00:11:15.800 of nobel prize in economics for that yeah if you ignore debt that is both crushing and unsolvable

00:11:25.560 things look great things look great now how about the fact that young people can't afford 0.95

00:11:32.520 homes and they'll all be replaced by robots pretty soon well we got problems all right so it's a

00:11:40.760 political season so you can tell who he backs politically without much effort i don't know

00:11:47.320 anything about his political opinion but based on his economic opinion leaving out the debt i'm gonna

00:11:53.800 say he might be a democrat might be anyway um do you really this this next story is weird all right

00:12:04.840 i'm going to get to all the big stories but i like to start with the weird ones um how many of you

00:12:11.480 remember that the other day it was only a few days ago i speculated that playing the game tetris

00:12:18.440 specifically specifically tetris would be good for your mental health does anybody remember me saying

00:12:25.960 that just a few days ago that the game tetris would be good for your mental health

00:12:34.680 i think you remember right well a few days later there's this story that's just it's just so weird

00:12:42.760 it i feel like the simulation must be the simulation must be it must be real all right so here's a story

00:12:50.200 i see today uh from upsella university wherever that is a single treatment session including the video

00:12:58.120 game tetris reduces ptsd symptoms they actually tested it they tested ptsd for people paying tetris now

00:13:12.040 remember what my what my uh hypothesis was the hypothesis was that our brains like um things

00:13:20.600 that will you know take our mind off of our troubles but also that we're accomplishing things so every

00:13:26.760 time you you mentally twist one of those little tetris blocks in your mind so it fits together with the

00:13:32.600 other blocks you're accomplishing a thing and you're it requires some focus in a part of your brain

00:13:39.720 remember i talked about shelf space yeah the more minutes of your day you spend thinking about not

00:13:46.920 bad things the better your mental health so if you make somebody focus on the the visual part of their

00:13:53.880 brain you have to use the visual part of your brain to do the tetris because you're you're moving

00:13:59.160 things in your mind before you make them real that's just a different part of your brain and that

00:14:04.200 doesn't involve your memory right your memory is one that's giving you the ptsd oh that thought

00:14:09.880 that thought that intrusive thought that intrusive thought well every single minute you spend not

00:14:15.320 doing that breaks the habit ptsd and ocd and those recurring thought ones the ones where you can't

00:14:22.680 get the thought out of your head that's a habit the only thing you need to do to break a habit is

00:14:27.720 something else that's the solution you just have to find something else the more time you spend doing

00:14:35.480 the something else the less of a habit it becomes so sure enough

00:14:41.720 and apparently not only does it work while you're doing it here here's the real payoff it's a lasting

00:14:48.600 benefit your ptsd symptoms stay reduced after you've played for a little while it stays that way not just

00:14:57.480 the day but like years you know presumably so what are the what are the odds that i would tell you

00:15:07.240 speculatively that tetris would solve your mental health and then within a few days there would be

00:15:13.240 the story about tetris doing exactly what i said it would do now i'm not going to brag about being smart

00:15:21.400 smart although i'm pretty smart i think i got this one right because of talent stack meaning that i'm

00:15:30.120 a trained hypnotist and so i really pay attention to the brain as a machine so when i think of the brain

00:15:36.440 i don't think of magic and free will and your soul and things i don't even think are real i think of it as

00:15:42.600 a machine what what did it do the most of did it spend most of its uh operating cycles doing this or did

00:15:50.040 it spend most of its operating cycles doing this other thing because you can tell like a machine

00:15:55.640 what the difference would be depending on what part of the machine you're stressing so that's the way i

00:16:00.440 see it as a hypnotist i see it as a machine certain parts are stressed certain parts are used and then you

00:16:07.480 can just kind of figure out what would happen if you do a certain change well there's a the hurricane

00:16:13.800 disasters looking pretty bad for five states in the uh in the east of the us uh five states got hit

00:16:22.280 pretty hard millions are without power still uh people are missing presumed dead we don't know the numbers

00:16:28.600 yet and uh there's a lot of pressure on fema which people say are not getting it done but uh it was

00:16:37.240 pointed out today that fema's number one goal their number one goal is to make sure that when there's 0.97

00:16:44.520 a disaster uh they save as many lives and as much property as they can that's their number one goal

00:16:51.320 number one goal for fema oh wait i read that wrong no their number one goal that's not that's not their

00:16:58.120 number one goal their number one goal is quote instill equity as a foundation of emergency management

00:17:05.320 so more of a dei thing that's their number one goal so if you're going to judge fema because a bunch of

00:17:12.520 people died or they didn't do enough i don't think that's fair because you'd be judging them against

00:17:18.920 a standard which is not their standard their standard is how much did they support equity and dei and i

00:17:27.000 think they did a good job on that so all of you complainers who are saying oh oh but the lights are

00:17:34.120 off and we don't have food and people are drowning and we can't find them and there's not enough

00:17:39.320 resources stop whining they got the equity just right and that was their number one priority

00:17:47.240 so so anyway um you might know somebody who predicted that if dei became a top priority

00:17:56.760 no with no uh let's see with uh nothing to do with anybody's genes or culture or gender or anything

00:18:05.480 like that it is a system which on paper should destroy the country in other words if you look

00:18:12.360 at it like a machine you say all right suppose the country is a machine and it has these various moving 1.00

00:18:18.920 parts what would happen if you threw a bunch of gravel into it well if you're not a fucking idiot you'd 0.99

00:18:25.480 know that putting gravel into a machine is a really bad idea so in this case the gravel they're throwing 0.99

00:18:31.080 in their fuma machine is dei i love the idea of having our big organizations represent the actual

00:18:38.920 public i love that i do think that our big important industries and governments should they should as

00:18:47.720 you know in an ideal world should represent the people who live here should look a little bit like the 0.99

00:18:53.480 public but if you force it it's gravel in the machine and there's just no way around that so we should

00:19:02.760 predictably see a failure in all of our major institutions and we should see the failure

00:19:08.600 happening first in the government because the government is pushing the hardest and been doing

00:19:15.720 it the longest so sure enough fema's getting a lot of bad attention by the way i don't know that fema's

00:19:21.640 doing a bad job uh i'm just saying that the critics are saying that i feel like fema's one of those

00:19:30.280 agencies that will never seem like it's doing enough because if you're in an emergency if you're

00:19:35.960 the person who's in the emergency you never really think they're doing enough so i'm not entirely sure

00:19:41.960 they're failing but the criticisms are out there um ontario the wait is over the gold standard of

00:20:50.440 proposed lawsuit against the secret service um because of their dei goals apparently they were trying

00:20:59.240 to get into the country's 30 percent female workforce there is allegedly a non-profit 0.98

00:21:04.840 that's defending women's issues so it's a weird entity to be doing this but a some non-profit

00:21:13.800 is going to sue the secret service for what it alleges is quote arbitrary diversity equality and

00:21:19.480 inclusion that harms female employees why does that harm female employees so this sounds like some

00:21:27.640 right-leaning entity is trying to trying to do the best they can but make it look a little confusing

00:21:34.520 for their own influence reasons um so so whether or not this lawsuit is effective we don't know but we

00:21:44.280 do know that uh there are criticisms of the secret service especially that handling the uh the trump

00:21:52.120 situations and uh some have said that dei is directly responsible for that incompetence we don't know

00:21:59.160 that for sure but on paper if you took the secret service and you thought of it as a machine and then

00:22:06.760 you said to yourself i wonder what would happen if i threw a bunch of gravel into this machine called

00:22:11.640 the secret service what do you think i'm going to say next it's exactly what it should be these are the

00:22:17.880 the most predictable outcomes in the world if the dei stuff had nothing to do with the uh the failure

00:22:25.880 of the trump protection which is possible in the same way that fema might be operating really well

00:22:32.200 you know and maybe the critics are going overboard don't know but i can tell you that whether or not

00:22:37.880 these are real failures caused by dei the system as it's designed is throwing gravel into the machines

00:22:46.280 and there's no way it can't destroy them whether it's happened yet that's still a question

00:22:54.440 meanwhile kamal harris says she wants to appoint the first woman to run the pentagon

00:23:00.360 what do you think i'm going to say about that

00:23:05.000 yes she wants to bring dei to the pentagon not only is she the dei candidate because she is let's face

00:23:13.320 it uh kamala harris would not be the candidate if she were not a person of color and a woman we all 1.00

00:23:20.360 know that and so she's the dei commander in chief who is committed to use dei to staff the military at the top

00:23:32.680 so uh what do you think i'm going to say about the machine that's the military and throwing some

00:23:38.040 gravel in the machine it's going to do exactly what you think it's going to do exactly what you think

00:23:44.280 it's going to do but on top of that there's something that's very different about the military

00:23:50.520 compared to everything else and i need to say this as often as possible because if you don't understand

00:23:57.880 this world dead like actually dead dead you know not hyperbole dead but the dead kind where you're not

00:24:05.400 breathing kind it goes like this discrimination is immoral and unethical and unwise and it's not good for

00:24:17.400 you in almost any domain you could think of so if it's employment discrimination don't do it bad for 0.97

00:24:25.240 you bad for them bad for society uh if it's in your personal relationships don't be a fool you should

00:24:32.600 at least be open to any any group having you know the love of your life come out of it if you're choosing

00:24:39.320 friends it's hard to have friends at all if you can find any kind of friends don't close yourself off

00:24:45.160 because of race and gender and stuff like that so for most of the things that are the common things

00:24:51.720 that people do in the world discrimination should be drummed out of it and we should be

00:24:56.280 trained and not to be thinking like that and it's not good for anybody in most of those domains there

00:25:02.120 is however one exception self-defense self-defense doesn't have any discrimination variable if you're

00:25:14.360 trying to protect yourself you can discriminate as much as you want the only requirement is whatever's

00:25:20.760 in your own head nobody can tell you that's immoral nobody can tell you it's unethical nobody can tell

00:25:28.200 you it's inappropriate you're just looking for what works because if you don't find what works you're

00:25:34.840 dead that's what self-defense is so if you're going to discriminate in self-defense all that matters is

00:25:42.520 did you do a good job of it did you discriminate well for example wouldn't it be great if people have

00:25:49.160 physical disabilities are not completely borrowed from the uh workplace yeah that's probably good

00:25:55.800 because a lot of people have disabilities all kinds so making some accommodations for our citizens

00:26:02.440 in the workplace it definitely has a cost i know why people complain about it when i owned a small

00:26:08.280 business i didn't like building a ramp and you know having all these wheelchair things that literally

00:26:13.880 nobody ever used but i also appreciate it i know where it's coming from i don't mind that expense to

00:26:20.600 me that's it's it's an expense but to me that seems like where we want to be as a people you know not

00:26:27.720 letting people go because they got a bad leg or something right but when it comes to protecting yourself

00:26:35.880 you can discriminate all you want and i don't think that women should be in charge of defense 1.00

00:26:44.440 because i don't think they're good at it now there could be exceptions there could be a specific

00:26:50.520 exception that i'd say okay all right tulsi gabbard she's been in the military i've heard her talk okay

00:26:56.280 you can be commander-in-chief fine um and you could come up with you know 10 more names pretty easily

00:27:04.520 where you'd say okay yeah that that one individual definitely should be commander-in-chief but if

00:27:11.000 you're starting with you're starting with they should be female you're into the dei force it kind of

00:27:19.400 situation now i'm no expert on the military but are there any women who have been in serious combat

00:27:26.760 extended combat who would also be qualified to be you know leading military groups

00:27:35.080 because i feel like you need to have been really really in the thick of war to be a good general

00:27:41.320 because you need to know what doesn't work as well as what works from the ground up

00:27:47.160 so i think men should be in charge of the military because we're biologically suited for it

00:27:54.520 i think women should take the lead on what the abortion laws are 1.00

00:27:59.240 and while men certainly retain all their rights and certainly have a say about spending money

00:28:06.120 the laws themselves are better suited for women to figure it out 1.00

00:28:10.040 um

00:28:11.960 just because it keeps the country together you know at least if women are on the same side of abortion 1.00

00:28:17.160 and by the way women and men don't have that much different opinion on on the topic it's more like

00:28:21.640 republican versus democrat so if you let the women work it out and just tell the men what they figured 0.99

00:28:26.760 out and then we just go with it that would be the equivalent sort of the the the balancing for

00:28:34.200 women i'm asking can you let the men do the defense you're really going to be better off now i'm not 0.91

00:28:40.120 saying that every man who could be a general would do a better job than every woman who could be a

00:28:45.320 general that's obviously not true but don't push it right let it happen naturally you know if if a

00:28:53.640 if a tulsi gabber gets the nomination for president someday then you'd say would she specifically be a 1.00

00:29:01.960 good commander-in-chief probably yes probably yes but don't just push it and say we got to get a

00:29:08.040 woman in there heading the military that's that's gravel in the machine all right california according 1.00

00:29:18.280 to politico passed a law to prevent the local governments from requiring id for voting that's

00:29:26.120 because there was one place in california hunting in beach that wanted to require people to show photo id

00:29:32.120 at the polling places to vote and governor newsom said no there's one thing we don't want in this

00:29:38.440 state it's that knowing that people who voted are allowed to vote now can you come up with a second

00:29:46.360 reason why this would be the law in california what's the second reason or or a reason give me a reason

00:29:56.440 um if you ask them they'll say well we don't want to um let's see uh discourage people from voting and uh

00:30:09.720 um i think um yeah it would be disenfranchising some people and

00:30:17.960 are those even real reasons they don't even sound like real reasons it doesn't even sound like somebody

00:30:23.240 is trying to do a good job of lying to you to me this is completely transparent we plan to cheat

00:30:30.840 here's how we plan to do it we plan to have a bunch of uh you know people who can't vote who are not

00:30:37.800 citizens we plan to have them vote anyway and then we're going to make sure it's too late to reverse it

00:30:43.880 it's right in front of you there there's not the slightest doubt what the plan is it's right there

00:30:53.960 right in front of you apparently there are 14 states that do not require voter id at the polls

00:31:00.840 let me guess let's see 14 states well we know one is california let's see i wonder what kind of states

00:31:08.360 florida no florida they require id see what other states uh texas would now texas of course would

00:31:16.760 require id oh it's all the democrat states yeah all the blue states um except one illinois

00:31:28.040 somebody's saying now i don't know if it's all the blue states it's 14 so there might be

00:31:32.680 one that's not blue but clearly the reason for it is fraud it's not like there's a second reason

00:31:42.680 for this there is no second reason it's just floor fraud it's just fraud and it's right in front of you

00:31:51.960 anyway so trump said again bright bar news is reporting that uh

00:31:57.160 he vows to prosecute google at the maximum levels for election interference

00:32:02.840 now election interference in this context is that they've allegedly rigged the search results so it

00:32:09.800 says more good things about harris toward the top and it's harder to find good things about trump

00:32:16.600 now is it true of course it is yes it's very true it's 100 true it is election interference it is illegal

00:32:27.080 i think i think i'm no lawyer but to me it looks like election interference and it looks intentional

00:32:35.640 and it looks like it's transparent it looks like management has said it directly you know if you've seen

00:32:41.880 the videos of the google leaders all being sad when trump won the first time and vowing it wouldn't happen

00:32:47.880 again well what do you think that means of course it means that it's rigged

00:32:53.560 of course it does now here's what's smart about trump uh threatening them when when a google employee

00:33:01.960 whoever it is makes a change to the algorithm and they know it's making a change that's negative for

00:33:08.280 trump what do you think they think about that today probably not much of anything it's like oh yeah let's just

00:33:16.200 tweak this it's a bad for that bad trump guy it's good for harris a little tweak go back to work

00:33:23.960 here's what they should be thinking if i change that am i going to go to jail

00:33:29.960 that's what they should be thinking they should be thinking if i change this code just a little bit

00:33:35.000 will i go to jail they should be thinking that because the things they're doing are just horrifically

00:33:43.640 undemocratic and and yeah they should go to jail they should absolutely be in jail so if they're not

00:33:53.720 thinking about that when they tweak something they need to start they need to start thinking what jail

00:34:01.000 is going to be like you should picture it i'm sitting there in jail and i'm sitting there in jail

00:34:07.240 and i'm still sitting there in jail because there's not much to do in jail except get abused i guess so

00:34:18.200 bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:34:22.680 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:34:29.480 think very good messaging so the longshoremen are going to strike i think that's tonight or something

00:34:38.040 um and i don't know what they're asking for but they better worry about robots because

00:34:44.600 if i were a shipping company i'd certainly be looking at robots to do my longshoremen 0.99

00:34:51.240 work eventually so they got that to worry about so i can see why they'd want to organize they've got a

00:34:57.080 lot a lot of reasons to do that um i'm going to give you the most contrarian view you've ever heard you're

00:35:06.280 ready this strike which allegedly will be a big problem for the supply chain it will involve some

00:35:15.480 kinds of foods maybe fruits coming from outside the company country uh it won't starve us you know we're

00:35:22.120 not going to run out of food but maybe some specific kinds of foods and then materials that we need for

00:35:28.200 products etc so it's going to be really really inconvenient and we're not going to like it

00:35:36.280 here's the contrarian take our supply roots and and supply chains we learned during the pandemic were

00:35:44.600 woefully terrible and we didn't really have backups and secondary ways to do things but we created a bunch

00:35:52.040 because we had to when the supply chains got broken people you know quickly compensated i think we need

00:35:59.000 to break the supply chains a few more times because if we don't break them in like serious ways they'll

00:36:06.760 never be fixed in other words we'll never uh we'll never have a reason to build the startup

00:36:14.360 that could be the alternative you know wouldn't it be great if they did the strike but then

00:36:20.120 immediately some startup pops up and says you know what we've got this fleet of electric ships or whatever

00:36:26.680 and we can do this at half the cost we just need a chance oh here's your chance so

00:36:32.200 i don't have a completely negative feeling about the strike first of all i i'm pro union i think the

00:36:41.800 union if they're not getting what they need and there's money to you know make them whole sure um

00:36:51.080 but i but i do think that uh it could be good for the system just just to force some alternatives

00:36:57.720 um so that we're less less susceptible in the future that might be a little too optimistic

00:37:04.920 but i'm feeling optimistic today andrew huberman phd says there's more data showing that card of

00:37:13.720 cardiovascular exercises improves your brain function in the hours that follow now apparently

00:37:20.360 cardio does much better than just lifting or resistance training in terms of your mental cognition now if 0.99

00:37:27.480 you do too much it'll make you stupid so if you run to the point where you just you know you're done

00:37:34.440 you're not going to be thinking too well either but if you do like a good cardio like a healthy 0.98

00:37:42.120 level of cardio for whatever stage of life you're at apparently that has a lasting brain benefits as

00:37:50.120 somebody who does creative stuff for a living and i spend lots of hours doing it my biggest

00:37:58.440 my biggest challenge always has been managing my energy and my mental state because you need to be

00:38:04.680 kind of in your top two percent to do what i do you know if you're if you're operating at 95

00:38:10.760 just nothing happens you can't really be creative at a commercial level if you're operating at 95

00:38:17.160 just nothing happens you got to get into that 99 of your own best before anything can happen so i've

00:38:25.800 been playing with this variable of exercise and from my own anecdotal experience um doing resistance

00:38:34.040 training makes me tired and doing some cardio if it doesn't go too bad allows me to really concentrate

00:38:40.840 on work and get stuff done so anecdotally it feels right feels about right to me cardio but don't

00:38:49.160 overdo it is good for your brain john carey said we talked about this before but like i can't get it

00:38:55.080 out of my mind he said this quote at some event our first amendment stands as a major block to the

00:39:00.920 ability to be able to hammer uh disinformation out of existence what we need is to win the right to

00:39:07.800 govern by hopefully winning enough votes that we're free to be able to implement change implement change

00:39:16.520 to the first amendment the freedom of speech

00:39:23.480 the new york timer the new i'm sorry the new yorker publication uh has a uh article

00:39:30.920 in which the title is is it time to torch the constitution

00:39:37.320 quote some scholars say that it's to blame for our political dysfunction and that we need to start

00:39:42.360 over okay so john carey is questioning the first amendment the new yorker left-leaning publication

00:39:49.880 thinks it might be time to torch the constitution or at least we should talk about it and uh

00:39:55.560 uh rfk jr at uh recent uh podcast said that uh 37 hours after harrison biden were installed in the

00:40:04.680 white house they opened an illegal portal between the social media giants and the fbi cia cdc to begin

00:40:11.800 rampant censorship so it appears that democrats uh need or they say they need rampant um censorship in

00:40:23.240 order to run the country otherwise it's going to be chaos now you've heard me say and i'm going to

00:40:29.800 triple down on it no country can survive free speech we've never had it

00:40:37.880 we've never had it the way they controlled our free speech in the past is by brainwashing us so that

00:40:43.960 when we thought we were speaking freely we were just mimicking what we've been brainwashed to say

00:40:49.560 so you can have something that feels like free speech so long as you've been brainwashed to

00:40:55.400 only say the things that are appropriate and so long as the entities that reported the news

00:41:01.160 were controlled by the government so if you said something that wasn't part of the brainwashing

00:41:06.280 well you didn't get on the news or if you did they mocked you as some kind of communist criminal and

00:41:11.640 you should be ignored now once the government no longer controls the news and social media is sort of

00:41:20.840 brainwashing people more randomly as opposed to the government doing it now you get a problem

00:41:27.000 because actual free speech where people are not brainwashed into their opinion but rather it comes to

00:41:33.560 them through some some sense of some set of variables um that's dangerous stuff that's dangerous and no

00:41:42.520 i don't think any country has ever survived that i think that people there there's always some other

00:41:49.320 either commercial or embarrassment or shame there's always some force to keep you from saying what you

00:41:57.000 maybe think you should say so we never really have free speech and i don't think we could survive it

00:42:04.280 but we do need to get back to the illusion of it the illusion of free speech is important the actual

00:42:10.760 free speech is less important now how much this matters depends on how bad your government is if your

00:42:20.440 government is terrible then not having free speech is the disaster if your if your government is chugging

00:42:27.720 along okay let's say a george bush senior kind of a world or you know reagan second term kind of a world

00:42:37.000 you don't really care too much people can say what they want we can argue about it things are going fine

00:42:44.920 it's just when you've got a really bad government uh that's when the free speech going away is

00:42:52.200 an existential risk and i would say that the democrats collectively i don't know what's wrong

00:42:59.400 like some say it's a marxist thing i don't know but there's something terribly terribly broken

00:43:06.680 in that the things that they're doing appear to be designed to destroy the country

00:43:10.520 meaning that if i gave you a set of democrat policies and didn't tell you their democrat

00:43:17.160 policies and i said instead there's a terrible entity that's trying to destroy the united states

00:43:23.800 look at the things they're doing and if you looked at the things on their list you'd say oh wow they're

00:43:30.280 pushing dei yeah that's gravel in the machine that's obviously that can't be for the benefit of the

00:43:35.480 country uh they're wait they're not they're not checking voter id well that looks like it's designed

00:43:42.280 for i don't know what but not for good elections oh they're trying to limit our free speech what

00:43:50.040 you know almost everything that they're doing if you saw it on paper and it had not been identified as

00:43:56.040 democrat policy you would think it was a plan to destroy the united states i mean it's that blatantly

00:44:02.360 obviously what the hell are you thinking situation anyway uh according to george it's an account on

00:44:13.640 on x that you should follow um austria just had an election and the uh i guess what is being called

00:44:21.160 their far right they might not call it that just one and i don't think people were necessarily expecting

00:44:27.240 it but the the side that won is anti-immigration um and therefore mass deportation and their their

00:44:36.600 model is uh hungary with victor orban who's sort of on the same page with that stuff so and they're

00:44:44.360 opposed to sanctions against russia and they see ukraine as a nato provoked

00:44:50.920 all right and they're very angry oh okay that's according to a leftist professor but he's probably

00:44:58.840 not too far off um some say this is a sign of what's coming in the united states

00:45:06.600 is it you would expect that there would be some natural pushback and there is yeah there is i don't

00:45:16.120 know if it's telling us what's going to happen in the united states but i'm putting austria on my list

00:45:20.760 of escape countries if i ever have to leave the united states i'm going to say austria hello hello

00:45:28.200 can you take one more they're anti-immigration though so i don't know if i'll get in

00:45:33.640 it's like the good news and the bad news hey the good news is there's a country that might survive

00:45:39.480 the bad news is the reason they're going to survive is they don't let people like me into the country

00:45:44.520 all right uh the new polls are coming out uh trump's now ahead in pennsylvania according to

00:45:53.480 four different polls atlas intel insider advantage rasmussen and fox those all flipped in the last

00:45:59.640 couple of weeks last couple of weeks we're getting closer to the election things are changing

00:46:07.560 um msnbc is reporting the democrats are losing ground with latino voters i saw an eric abinante

00:46:14.760 post on this also great follow on x um 40 of hispanics said they'd vote for trump

00:46:22.200 now you might say but 40 that's not so good that's less than half but here's what it used to look like

00:46:30.120 uh the democrat advantage um there in 2012 in 2012 the democrats had a 44 point advantage

00:46:40.920 for hispanic voters 44 point difference yeah and that's huge but it went down a little bit by 2016

00:46:52.360 trump had gotten that down i don't know if it's because of trump but it down to 38 38 is a big big difference

00:46:59.720 in 2020 it fell again to 33 it's a big change but 33 is still a big big difference

00:47:13.640 current polling 14 so the the advantage the democrats had went from 44 38 33 and just cut by more than half

00:47:26.920 and the closer they are to the the border the more pro-republican they are now i don't know if

00:47:37.480 that's because they're close to the border uh or they're just in republican areas so maybe they just

00:47:43.560 lean that way i don't know but uh there could be some surprises coming uh steve cortez steve cortez i don't

00:47:52.120 know why i pronounced it wrong but steve cortez has a new film now called bad hombres i remember

00:47:58.360 that's what uh trump said there were some bad hombres coming across the border and then the

00:48:03.400 democrats said he's calling everybody a bad hombre no no he's saying that some of them are bad hombres

00:48:11.880 so it's the name of uh his film google it to figure out where it is steve cortez just search for

00:48:18.360 bad hombres new video i recommend it i haven't seen it but i'll i'll watch it i just saw but heard

00:48:25.480 about it this morning claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my match

00:48:30.520 all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her

00:48:35.640 backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto service

00:48:41.880 centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental

00:48:46.600 car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on time

00:48:53.000 intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply well here's a little uh sleeper

00:49:00.520 variable for the election let's see who saw this coming you know have you been wondering if the

00:49:07.960 laura trump and the republican organizers are doing a good job now we're hearing scott presler

00:49:14.200 doing an amazing job in pennsylvania registering people we know that uh there are going to be

00:49:20.360 something like a hundred thousand lawyers and observers for the election that sounds pretty

00:49:25.000 serious so the these are clearly good things that happen i think laura was behind supporting scott

00:49:32.760 presler so you're seeing you're seeing all these hints of smart effective things coming out of the

00:49:40.920 republicans well here's one i didn't know about turns out there's been an effort to organize churches

00:49:50.440 so that the churches will help collect mail-in ballots where it's legal now that would be called

00:49:56.120 harvesting but it's not illegal everywhere it's legal to stay can i can i help you take this to the

00:50:03.080 mailbox so churches are organized and that could be a really a really big difference if the churches

00:50:15.400 fully embrace mail-in voting and they start collecting it in the church and getting everybody

00:50:20.360 to sit there and fill out their ballot or whatever they're going to do i think this could be a sleeper

00:50:25.800 variable because the the uh left-leaning news is sort of it's invisible to them they're not really

00:50:33.800 covering republican church gatherings so i don't know it's too early to say because i don't know what

00:50:42.680 numbers are involved but given that the swing states have you know small margins if you get the churches

00:50:49.080 really organized it feels like that delivers votes more than most things right if the church is

00:50:57.240 collectively doing something it seems like the church members are going to be really influenced

00:51:01.720 by that so it could be a big deal all right here's something funny i saw on x uh a an account called peachy

00:51:11.640 keenan i don't know if that's a real name or i don't know just a name for twitter but peachy keenan

00:51:19.640 talked about harris waltz and i'm just going to read it because the writing is so good but it also sort of

00:51:26.920 nails um it nails a feeling that i had not been able to capture all right so peachy keenan says

00:51:35.720 men are grossed out by kamala tim because there's nothing to hook them the man 1.00

00:51:41.000 in quotes on the ticket is a weird little troll-like creep with bilateral limp wrists 0.98

00:51:48.840 and the female is a sexless vapid hr boss who projects deep hatred of masculine men 1.00

00:51:55.880 both couples seem like platonic relationships at best and possibly one beard situation

00:52:03.000 trump vance on the other hand are red-blooded hetero males with a healthy appreciation for

00:52:07.240 biological women their wives are lovely and poised it's a much more authentic relatable ticket 1.00

00:52:13.320 and he's and peachy says that harris waltz appeals to oddballs blitzed on mood enhancers and sterilized

00:52:20.120 by long-term birth control and gender studies phds

00:52:26.760 yeah that pretty much captured it

00:52:30.120 uh and then i saw jen saki was interviewing doug emhoff and she's been pushing this idea

00:52:38.680 that uh waltz and emhoff are uh are the new masculinity

00:52:46.680 so so she actually said to doug emhoff in an interview she said you reshaped the perception of

00:52:52.520 masculinity

00:52:58.840 let me just say this

00:53:02.040 if you ever really want to get under my skin and give me an insult that will like really

00:53:08.280 you know get to the get to my core

00:53:11.720 typically i'm pretty you know thick skinned people insult me all day on social media i don't really

00:53:16.680 think about it by the time i'm going to bed right sometimes i respond but it doesn't really doesn't

00:53:22.200 really get to me but if you really really wanted to insult me like deeply deeply insult me here's what

00:53:30.520 you should say scott looks like you reshaped the perception of masculinity 0.99

00:53:36.920 oh yeah well screw you 0.99

00:53:43.080 i don't have to take that from you yeah that's what i'd say uh but the more important thing is that doug 0.99

00:53:49.240 emhoff does not have a brother named jack

00:53:54.520 i'll give you a minute you can work on that at home

00:53:57.720 doug emhoff does not have a brother named jack

00:54:05.000 all right everybody caught up all right good good um trump apparently is going hard at the 1.00

00:54:11.480 idea that harris is an idiot um he's called her stupid mentally impaired and disabled 1.00

00:54:17.560 um and you might say to yourself 1.00

00:54:21.160 how could such a person be doing so well well easily one of the biggest uh demographic groups 1.00

00:54:27.480 in the united states is people who are stupid mentally impaired and disabled mentally disabled 1.00

00:54:33.400 and uh they seem to love her you know why she looks good to them 1.00

00:54:41.480 and i'm not even joking you know in in prior elections and hillary clinton would be one 0.99

00:54:48.200 whatever you want to say about hillary clinton she's not stupid can we all agree on that she's brilliant 0.97

00:54:54.360 maybe evil but she's not dumb and you know if you looked at uh other women who have run for office 1.00

00:55:02.760 you know nikki haley um you could name several other democrats or do any of them register as dumb 0.75

00:55:11.720 no no some of them you might prefer or not prefer but none of the ones none of the women who ran for 0.99

00:55:17.720 president look dumb but she does and and i'm not saying that just politically she actually looks dumb 1.00

00:55:29.320 and so i love trump going after her for that uh but it might backfire because there's so many in 1.00

00:55:35.560 that demographic group that they might say wait we have a dumb candidate finally somebody who can represent me 0.84

00:55:41.400 have i told you that i sometimes test my persuasion by using non-standard terms to see if they pop up in 0.50

00:55:52.760 some other context because if if i persuaded using ordinary words and then my persuasion like influenced somebody

00:56:01.720 else i wouldn't really know it because they would just be ordinary people using ordinary words

00:56:06.920 so one of the things i did intentionally several months ago is i tried to see if i could um brand

00:56:17.720 the democrat policies and specifically the harris policies as quote batshit crazy does anybody remember

00:56:24.920 me saying i was going to try to insert that term into the political conversation i want to see in the

00:56:32.680 comments do you remember me saying that or no anyway it was my intention to not say i don't like these

00:56:41.720 policies or these policies are good for some people but bad for others you know the usual things you say

00:56:47.640 some of the policies such as price controls they're batshit crazy they are just batshit crazy and for a

00:56:58.760 while i was saying that every day on social media and on my live streams well i guess yesterday senator

00:57:05.080 lindsey graham called v called harris's policies batshit crazy and he said it on a live broadcast

00:57:17.240 nicely done lindsey graham nicely done now we we have collectively you know found reasons to

00:57:23.960 criticize lindsey graham on this or that but if we're being fair this was really good because it

00:57:31.480 became a headline and i think we need to reframe this is not democrat versus republican because this time

00:57:38.840 it doesn't look like it every other election looked like it to me you know they all look like oh 1.00

00:57:44.280 democrat versus rule this is batshit crazy brain dead walnut brain stupid fucking idiot 1.00

00:57:52.360 against a candidate who's interesting this is not just two political opinions there's no philosophical 1.00

00:58:00.600 difference going on here there's one that's just batshit crazy and the the micro the msnbc you know the 0.51

00:58:08.200 the main propagandists to support the democrats they're just batshit crazy i probably looked at

00:58:15.640 five different clips from msnbc that were sent to me this morning do you know why people sent me the clips

00:58:24.760 for humor for humor and nothing was added in other words that nobody had to add the comment look what

00:58:33.000 they're doing or uh look how they cover this topic or nothing they just simply send me exactly what

00:58:40.600 msnbc said and i just go oh my god oh my god like i can't even believe it and i just laugh at it so

00:58:48.200 msnbc has literally morphed into no longer anything like a news entity it just looks like this weird 0.96

00:58:55.240 propaganda brainwashing operation full of people who are mentally ill it just looks like a monkey dance 0.95

00:59:03.000 it's like total random mental illness going on the monkey part was not a racial term 0.98

00:59:09.800 i wasn't thinking of any particular people it's just monkeys are funny there are plenty of white 1.00

00:59:15.400 people who work at msnbc don't take me out of context all right um apparently there's this leaked

00:59:24.520 telephone conversation between arizona's uh democrat governor and secretary of state and this is

00:59:32.600 reported by the gateway uh pundit jordan conradson and apparently this uh telephone call they were

00:59:39.960 worried and trying to figure out what to say about 98 000 voters that were part of a registration glitch

00:59:48.520 now i think the glitch was we couldn't tell if they were citizens so there were close to a hundred

00:59:54.360 thousand people who if they voted you wouldn't know if they were legal votes now i don't know if they

01:00:02.680 were legal or not but you wouldn't know because somehow it got disconnected from from knowing who's uh

01:00:09.320 who's actually eligible to vote so apparently they were perfectly aware that uh if it became known

01:00:16.600 that they had a hundred thousand voter mistake that it would show that the whole system is messed up

01:00:23.880 now you know what's interesting that the thing we know for sure is that our elections are pristine

01:00:31.160 and that there was no cheating involved and yet every single day i hear multiple reports of irregularities

01:00:39.320 that can't be explained or are transparently illegal and or broken we have the most broken system

01:00:49.880 of all systems and yet for the last several years we've been told they're perfect

01:00:55.800 no problem they're they're not auditable by design but who makes it who makes an election system that

01:01:02.840 can't be audited by design only people cheating there is no second answer to that question nobody builds

01:01:12.680 something that can't be audited by design unless they don't want it to be audited because they plan to

01:01:20.120 cheat there's no other reason all right there was a big rescue the republic event yesterday that looked

01:01:30.760 like a big success in terms of turnout and big big name speakers rfk jr and tulsi gabbard and jordan

01:01:38.520 peterson and on and on and on it was quite a slate of stars but i don't know what it was trying to accomplish

01:01:47.480 uh but only because i don't know i'm not saying it didn't accomplish anything i'm just saying what were

01:01:53.000 they trying to get done was there something specific we were trying to get out of that or just raise

01:02:00.040 some attention for some points of view yeah matt taibbi was there i heard he was great yeah okay so

01:02:08.680 i'm a little under informed on the topic but if somebody could let me know what was the objective

01:02:14.920 of that i could tell you if i thought they met it but um my guess is it got covered by all the right-wing

01:02:22.680 media and it got ignored by the rest unless they said a bunch of racists met today so i don't know

01:02:30.440 if it moved the needle but i don't know if that's what it was supposed to do you know maybe there was

01:02:35.880 multiple variables involved so let me know if you if you think that moves the needle in some way that i'm

01:02:42.120 i'm missing well let's talk about hezbollah according to the wall street journal uh israel's been

01:02:49.720 carrying out these small targeted raids in lebanon and the suggestion is um

01:02:58.120 that they're going in on the ground israel will make a ground assault on lebanon to try

01:03:03.240 to get rid of hezbollah once and for all um now the idf has confirmed that they killed the commander of

01:03:11.720 hamas in lebanon i don't know what the commander is so it's not the head guy the head guy sinwar is

01:03:20.280 still around but uh they took out another leader now you really have to ask yourself does israel know

01:03:28.760 at all times where all the leaders are or did somehow they just got lucky and found out just when

01:03:35.800 they needed to kill them all because it looks to me like they have some kind of permanent program

01:03:41.000 where they know where every bad guy leader is all the time it seems like a big coincidence they could 0.98

01:03:47.240 get them all in a week so i mean the the pager thing didn't require them to know where they were

01:03:53.080 i guess so that was different so it looks like the war is on they're going to go in and take care of

01:04:00.680 business um it looks like if you judge based on what they've done so far they've crippled the

01:04:09.160 communication which means it would be hard for hezbollah to respond with a massive rocket attack

01:04:14.760 at the same time because it would be hard to get the notice to everybody to do things simultaneously

01:04:20.680 so if they can't communicate well and all the leaders have been taken out this would be the

01:04:25.080 time to attack if they're going to attack ever if this would be the time to do it um

01:04:31.400 iran says they they won't send forces to help hezbollah

01:04:37.880 why would they say it it's interesting that they say it it would be one thing not to do it

01:04:44.200 but why do they say they're not going to send forces because doesn't that make it safer for israel

01:04:52.120 to go in or do they figure israel is going in no matter what and they might as well at least avoid 0.85

01:04:58.120 the avoid being painted in that same uh brush even though they're the ones supporting hezbollah

01:05:05.960 well over in saudi saudi arabia has banned all public displays of support for

01:05:11.720 uh palestine hamas and hezbollah so if you basically said something to even support them

01:05:19.240 you get arrested in saudi arabia so remember there was a story that said that the crown prince of

01:05:24.680 saudi arabia was uh not interested in the palestinian problem and then they tried to clean it up and say no

01:05:32.200 no no he's totally interested but only because his citizens are interested he's not interested

01:05:40.200 personally he doesn't think that he should be spending time on it but there are people in

01:05:44.200 the country who think it's important so he's acknowledging the importance of his citizens

01:05:49.960 but at the same time he's acknowledging that the citizens have this view he's making it very clear

01:05:54.440 that he doesn't and it makes sense because they're big competitors iran so the palestinians and

01:06:02.840 hamas and hezbollah are allied with his enemies so it makes sense that he would be 1.00

01:06:09.080 trying to suppress them without making too big a deal with his own public

01:06:14.600 the ap referred to uh nasrallah the head of hezbollah they got taken out as charismatic and shrewd in one

01:06:22.920 of their headlines charismatic and shrewd let's see how did they re how did they treat republican uh

01:06:29.640 uh senator jim inhoff when he died uh they called him uh he called he called human cause climate change a hoax

01:06:40.360 so there the ap is kinder to the head of hezbollah than a republican senator yep that's a real thing to happen

01:06:50.600 if i haven't mentioned it the dilbert 2025 calendar desk calendar is available now you can pre-buy it

01:06:59.160 go to dilbert.com to get the link it's the only place you can get it you can't get it on amazon but

01:07:05.160 you can get my book win bigly second edition look for the one with the blue cover that's the only one

01:07:12.040 i get money for the other ones i think are pirated or used books or something but there's a original

01:07:19.480 the black cover one don't buy that one that one doesn't help me at all it's not the updated one

01:07:25.720 all right well ladies and gentlemen i think i've said what i need to say for today uh monday is going

01:07:33.800 to be lit um i'd watch the polls as you know the polls are going to get a little more honest in the

01:07:41.560 month of october because all the pollsters have to become honest the month before the election you're

01:07:47.800 going to see that in the next two weeks or so because they don't want to suddenly close the gap like

01:07:53.000 a week before the election you need a good solid month and that means by the middle of october the

01:08:01.160 polls should be close to something like reality and then we're going to find out some interesting stuff

01:08:07.880 like who's ahead we'll see if your anecdotal sense of things makes a difference now i didn't mention this

01:08:16.120 before but uh bill moore on friday said that he can't tell what's true anymore because he reads one

01:08:23.400 source that says crime is up another source that says it's down and you can't tell and he's getting

01:08:31.080 very close to my opinion that all data is fake but i would ask you this on the question of whether the

01:08:39.960 crime is up or down what's it feel like if you ignore the news just ignore the news like the

01:08:48.280 news never happened your own life my neighborhood has been burgled three times in the last 18 months

01:08:55.720 that's never happened before there was a somebody you know gunned down in in front of a

01:09:03.160 home depot in my town i think it was a year or so ago but that was unusual like we don't get

01:09:08.920 that kind of gun violence usually it's you know somebody who knows somebody pretty well but not a

01:09:13.720 not a random shooter so my experience is that crime is way up and then when i see pictures of

01:09:22.520 the sidewalks in the major cities i say well looks like crime's way up and i see the fentanyl deaths

01:09:29.560 are you know higher than ever and i say looks to me like crime's up so if you can't tell what the data is

01:09:37.800 telling you you might want to ignore the news and just look at your own situation because remember

01:09:45.080 the news is is pushing narrative on both sides it's not like one side's honest and the other's a

01:09:49.560 narrative both sides are pushing a narrative if if it feels like it's more dangerous where you are it

01:09:55.480 probably is you're probably right about that so i'd go with that does seem that that the crime is worse

01:10:03.800 in some ways there might be some categories where it's not all right um

01:10:13.560 it's a fact of life all right

01:10:20.520 now it was an oakland resident who killed the guy at the home depot it was not the people waiting to

01:10:27.000 be picked up to work um the lived experience yeah you can use it yourself the lived experience

01:10:39.400 all right people that's all i got i'm going to talk to the uh subscribers on locals privately

01:10:45.960 the rest of you i'll see you same time tomorrow thanks for joining on x and rumble and youtube

01:10:52.200 bye for now and locals coming at you in 30 seconds
