Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2625 CWSA 10⧸11⧸24

00:00:00.000 ...up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.

00:00:05.220 All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:12.100 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:14.160 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:16.940 It's a dope being at the end of the day.

00:00:18.260 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:19.840 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:21.960 And it happens now.

00:00:23.840 Go.

00:00:24.060 The technology is working.

00:00:31.140 The coffee is delicious.

00:00:33.140 You're all streaming in for the best time of the day.

00:00:36.680 Well, I think things are going well.

00:00:39.740 Let's talk.

00:00:42.940 Well, last night I stayed up and with my live stream audience at Locals, we waited for and then watched the big Tesla announcement.

00:00:52.920 And it was really impressive, I've got to say.

00:00:58.680 It was really impressive.

00:01:00.340 So the new things that we saw, not all new, new, but we saw the robots.

00:01:05.440 We saw the cyber cab and something he calls a roboven, a roboven, because he didn't want to call it a robovan.

00:01:13.940 So they're working on a little bus, an electric bus that looks futuristic, but we won't see that for a few years.

00:01:22.960 The robots, I think, will be manufactured pretty soon next year.

00:01:27.920 And the cyber cabs that would be autonomous, no driver, no driver, doesn't even have a steering wheel.

00:01:34.300 So those will be available in 26, I think.

00:01:40.980 So anyway, here's what you missed.

00:01:43.640 So they rented some kind of movie set that looked like a city.

00:01:47.980 I think it's one that the studios use.

00:01:50.900 And they used that as sort of a virtual city, and then they had a whole bunch of autonomous Tesla cabs that were going to give every single person who attended a ride.

00:02:03.720 So people lined up, and then the cabs took them on rides around the fake city, just as if it were a real city.

00:02:10.800 Now, apparently, the technology looks like it works.

00:02:16.540 So the only thing they have to do is actually build the things.

00:02:20.120 I don't know exactly what the legal environment is.

00:02:25.520 They might need some kind of approvals before it goes live.

00:02:28.680 But the look of the vehicle is better than anything Tesla's ever made.

00:02:35.000 Way better design than any of the cars.

00:02:37.980 Way better design than the Cybertruck.

00:02:40.800 And the van also looked pretty impressive.

00:02:45.340 Pretty impressive.

00:02:47.200 One of the things that's weird about the CyberCab is that I think it doesn't have a back window.

00:02:56.280 But it doesn't matter because there's no humans involved in driving.

00:03:00.400 So I assume there's just a camera in the back and a camera on all sides.

00:03:03.880 And it's a robot, so it doesn't need a window.

00:03:07.860 So that's weird.

00:03:08.620 But the design is fantastic.

00:03:12.080 It's the best design I've seen so far in a Tesla.

00:03:15.880 All right.

00:03:18.220 Here's what else we learned.

00:03:20.480 So what is the most baller way you could introduce your new robot?

00:03:26.560 Let me tell you what I expected.

00:03:28.020 All right, ladies and gentlemen, at long last, we're going to give you a demonstration of the Tesla robot.

00:03:35.240 And then there would be a robot on stage.

00:03:37.080 This is how I imagined it.

00:03:38.380 It's not how it happened.

00:03:40.060 This is how I imagined it.

00:03:41.620 And then the robot would do something that's difficult.

00:03:44.460 Like it would iron a shirt.

00:03:46.620 Or it would make you a sandwich.

00:03:49.000 You know, things that would be hard for a robot to do.

00:03:51.140 And then everybody would clap.

00:03:52.520 And then you would wonder if that robot could really do that.

00:03:56.360 But instead, several robots, I don't know how many, maybe 20 or something, the door opens.

00:04:05.140 And there's a big crowd listening to Elon present.

00:04:08.620 The door opens and a bunch of robots just sort of walk in.

00:04:11.800 And Elon says that, you know, after he's done with his presentation, which was almost done, that the robots would just be mingling.

00:04:23.980 They would be mingling.

00:04:25.880 And that one of the robots would be making drinks.

00:04:29.360 Now, I saw that the robot making drinks had some kind of a human assist.

00:04:33.800 So I think there was maybe a human remotely who was making sure it could do what it needed to do.

00:04:40.120 But so the bartender wasn't full robotic.

00:04:44.700 I imagine it could be soon, but it wasn't.

00:04:48.020 But just imagine that he's so confident in the robots that he lets them just wander in and work the crowd.

00:04:55.540 So you could just talk to one and just hang out with the robot.

00:04:58.960 But I can't even imagine a more mind-blowing presentation than to not have the robot on the stage.

00:05:11.780 I mean, that was just killer.

00:05:13.560 Whoever came up with that idea, that was the sort of next level marketing.

00:05:17.820 We're not even going to show you the robot.

00:05:19.740 The robot's just going to be doing people things.

00:05:22.800 Yeah, the people will talk about it later.

00:05:24.240 But the robot's just going to be wandering around, talking to people, doing people things.

00:05:28.640 That's our presentation.

00:05:30.640 So that was impressive as hell.

00:05:33.580 We'll see what people say when they actually talk to it.

00:05:36.320 Apparently, there's also a demonstration of one of the robot hands.

00:05:42.260 And I'm going to do an impression that you can't see if you're listening just on audio.

00:05:47.020 But the hands, you know how hands used to be?

00:05:49.280 Sort of, you know, they were just like little claws that could go up and down.

00:05:52.280 And then I had, I guess I got to 11 degrees of separation.

00:05:56.460 So the hand could do, you know, some things that look like a robot hand, but it had more flexibility.

00:06:02.740 Apparently, they've got, I don't know, a whole bunch of degrees of separation now or movement.

00:06:09.360 So the hand does everything my hand is doing.

00:06:12.420 So there's nothing my hand is doing that the robot couldn't do that would look exactly the same.

00:06:17.360 Exactly the same as my human hand doing anything that I want it to do.

00:06:22.280 Now that's, I wasn't sure they were going to get there.

00:06:26.520 Now the question that you're all asking, and I asked on X is, are they ever going to make the palm a little bit softer? 0.98

00:06:36.460 Shut up. 0.98

00:06:37.280 You were thinking it. 1.00

00:06:38.500 You were thinking it.

00:06:40.020 You were thinking it. 1.00

00:06:41.940 You disgusting bastards. 1.00

00:06:43.660 Yeah, you were all thinking if that robot hand gets a little bit better, it just needs to be a little softer. 1.00

00:06:52.160 And that's the end of human reproduction forever.

00:06:57.200 So there's that.

00:06:58.120 So Robert Scovel was at the event, and he said he met an Apple employee at the Tesla launch there.

00:07:10.120 And he said that the Apple employee told him that Apple killed its own plans for an autonomous car after it found out what Tesla was building.

00:07:19.920 So Apple just said, ah, we're out.

00:07:25.480 Now, why would Apple, being such a capable company, not think it could compete with Tesla?

00:07:32.800 Well, number one, Tesla has all these zillions of miles of cars that have collected all this video knowledge.

00:07:41.100 So Tesla can train it, because it has training experience from other cars, but nobody else has that.

00:07:49.380 The other thing that's way bigger than all of that is that Elon Musk seems to be the only person who knows how to manufacture.

00:07:58.360 Apple doesn't know how to manufacture anything in America.

00:08:01.460 And if you make your robots in China, you've got some explaining to do. 0.96

00:08:06.020 But if Tesla makes their robots and their auto cars and everything in America, people are going to be a lot more comfortable with it.

00:08:16.520 So I think that Apple is showing a weakness in that if they can't build it somewhere else in another country, I don't know if they can build anything.

00:08:28.740 But Tesla has shown it can build anything anywhere.

00:08:32.280 I mean, that's not even the same business, practically.

00:08:38.320 I don't know how, in the long run, it seems like Apple's got a lot of challenges.

00:08:44.040 So after all these amazing, amazing things that came out about Tesla and at least two of the markets it introduced are trillion-dollar markets.

00:08:53.520 So the robots will probably be a trillion-dollar business, maybe multiple trillions, and the cyber cabs could be another trillion dollars.

00:09:04.980 So what happens when a company that definitely can deliver says it's going to do things that would make the company worth 10 times as much as it is now?

00:09:15.340 Stock down 9%.

00:09:16.920 The stock's down.

00:09:19.300 Now, I assume some of this is because smart analysts are saying things like, oh, we thought it would come a year earlier, or we thought it would, I don't know, look different or something.

00:09:34.280 But I have no idea why the stock is down when they just introduced a really solid plan to be the biggest company of all time, changing the world.

00:09:46.740 So we'll see.

00:09:51.180 Also, speaking of Elon Musk, he said that Joe Rogan is definitely going to interview Trump before the election.

00:09:59.480 How big an audience is that going to be?

00:10:03.120 So it's kind of funny it hasn't happened, but Joe Rogan and Trump make sense, and I guess we'll see it before the election.

00:10:11.020 Oh, my God.

00:10:11.900 That would be such a viewing experience.

00:10:14.020 I can't wait.

00:10:14.600 Politico says that Tim Walsh is going to launch a media blitz to, and I quote Politico, woo male voters.

00:10:28.700 So Tim Walsh is going to woo male voters.

00:10:34.540 Can I give some advice?

00:10:37.100 I'd like to give some advice to the Democrats.

00:10:39.300 It's advice about male human beings. 0.88

00:10:47.160 You know what doesn't work for men? 0.98

00:10:51.580 Wooing.

00:10:52.920 We're not really big on the wooing.

00:10:56.360 Sometimes we do some wooing, but we're not really big on getting wooed.

00:11:01.840 When somebody says to me, Scott, what's your love language?

00:11:07.260 You know what I never say?

00:11:09.380 Getting wooed.

00:11:11.520 Oh, man, if somebody woos me, male or female, I don't care who it is. 0.98

00:11:15.580 If they woo me, well, I just melt like ice cream on the sidewalk of something warm.

00:11:23.080 Yeah, no, Democrats, let me give you some advice.

00:11:29.700 The wooing is the wrong vibe.

00:11:33.240 If you want men, there is one absolutely guaranteed, surefire way to get men to follow.

00:11:42.860 You have to be a leader.

00:11:45.400 Boom.

00:11:47.860 Men follow leaders.

00:11:49.440 And do you know what happens if there's no leader?

00:11:53.780 We become one.

00:11:55.780 Men have two modes, follow and lead. 0.88

00:11:59.660 Mostly.

00:12:00.400 I mean, there are some situations where we'll sort of partner equally.

00:12:04.160 But generally speaking, if you're a man, you want some kind of order.

00:12:09.320 And you'll take the order if someone else is in charge, if they're good at it.

00:12:13.360 They have to be good at it. 0.98

00:12:14.980 And if somebody is not good at being in charge, you will kill them and take their spot.

00:12:20.240 It's just biological. 1.00

00:12:22.220 You either lead me or I'm going to kill you. 1.00

00:12:26.780 I mean, I'm speaking a little bit hyperbolically, not necessarily kill, but replace. 0.99

00:12:32.220 So the only thing that the Democrats can do to increase the number of voters would be to be good leaders.

00:12:40.900 Apparently, that's off the table.

00:12:42.660 They got a woo. 0.97

00:12:44.100 A woo-woo. 0.97

00:12:44.620 Now, here's my second advice to Politico.

00:12:48.100 You know, you think Politico maybe is a little bit left-leaning.

00:12:52.320 I don't know.

00:12:52.860 But the photo that somebody chose to go with the headline, Walsh to do a media blitz to woo male voters, is the gayest photo you've ever seen of Walsh. 0.75

00:13:06.080 Now, I'm not saying he's gay. 0.53

00:13:08.920 I'm saying that if you saw that photo, you'd think so. 0.98

00:13:11.800 So how can you take a heterosexual man and find the one photo that makes him look gay as hell? 0.98

00:13:20.780 And then I'll do the impression. 0.97

00:13:23.820 See, here's what a straight man looks like when he's waving to the crowd.

00:13:28.680 Okay?

00:13:29.420 You're right.

00:13:30.100 Straight man waving to the crowd.

00:13:31.620 That's straight man waves to the crowd.

00:13:38.060 All right?

00:13:38.600 Now, I'd like to do Tim Walsh waving to the crowd.

00:13:46.200 Now, I can't quite pull off the full look.

00:13:51.020 But the body language is the least masculine thing you've ever seen in your life.

00:13:56.860 Not necessarily gay, but let's say the masculinity is not pouring out of his pores.

00:14:06.660 So that's pretty hilarious.

00:14:08.140 And everybody who was commenting at it had, like, photos of popcorn because they think that nothing could be possibly more entertaining than watching Tim Walsh try to act like a heterosexual male.

00:14:21.260 Anyway, I don't know anything about his sexuality.

00:14:24.460 I just know that his body language is not compatible with his stated sexual preference, which is there's no way you can ignore it.

00:14:36.940 I'm not going to ignore that.

00:14:39.020 Right?

00:14:39.640 So I'm not making any accusations.

00:14:41.640 And by the way, you know that I don't judge.

00:14:44.100 So I wouldn't care if he's gay. 1.00

00:14:46.740 If he were gay and said, I'm gay and I'm running for vice president, I'd never even bring it up. 0.97

00:14:51.540 I'd be like, okay, moving on. 0.70

00:14:54.460 So it has nothing to do with his sexual preference.

00:14:57.460 It has only to do with the difference between what he says he is and the way he presents.

00:15:03.960 That's the only thing that's worth noting.

00:15:07.940 Anyway, according to Rasmussen, Vance is ahead of Walsh in favorability.

00:15:14.120 So now that the debate has happened, people have seen both of them a little bit.

00:15:18.120 But 50% of likely voters think they have a favorable view of Vance.

00:15:24.880 And only 42% view Walsh favorably.

00:15:29.620 Does that surprise you?

00:15:32.060 After you saw the debate, are you surprised that there's a substantial difference in preference?

00:15:38.600 No, there should not be any surprise there at all.

00:15:46.440 Well, according to a study, trust in doctors and hospitals is way down because of the pandemic.

00:15:53.220 It's way down in every demographic group.

00:15:57.440 And it's both doctors and hospitals.

00:16:00.680 The trust is way down.

00:16:02.140 So it went from 72% having trust in their doctors and hospitals in 2020 all the way down to 40%.

00:16:10.340 It went from 72% to 40% trust in doctors and hospitals.

00:16:15.860 Now, let me ask you this.

00:16:19.060 How many of you have had this conversation with your doctor lately?

00:16:23.060 Because I have.

00:16:25.520 Blah, blah, blah.

00:16:26.700 This is what would be a good idea for you.

00:16:29.600 Me.

00:16:31.360 I don't really trust the medical process anymore.

00:16:38.260 That's something I actually said to my doctor.

00:16:40.200 I said nothing personal, but I don't trust anything about the medical process anymore.

00:16:46.580 Now, what I meant was that the doctor worked for Kaiser, you know, big healthcare HMO situation.

00:16:54.200 And anybody who's been with any big organization knows that the doctor would be constrained by what the larger organization he works for allows him to say and also allows him to recommend.

00:17:07.960 And given that I'm not necessarily wanting to be limited ever by what he's allowed to say and by what he's allowed to recommend, I just wanted to put down a stake and say, I don't trust the system.

00:17:22.120 I trust probably you, but I don't trust that you can operate freely within the system.

00:17:28.440 So I'm not going to necessarily take medical recommendations on face value.

00:17:33.600 I'm going to do a whole bunch of research and I'm going to make my own decision.

00:17:37.700 So that's the speech I give to doctors now.

00:17:41.260 I just wonder if any of you are doing the same.

00:17:43.580 Because it just doesn't feel like just take what they recommend.

00:17:48.240 It just doesn't feel like that's the right thing to do anymore.

00:17:50.880 You got to get a lot of opinions before you feel like you know anything about anything.

00:17:57.860 Anyway, in related news, Science Daily says that there's a new extra sensitive robot finger that is so sensitive it can take a patient's pulse and check for lumps.

00:18:12.180 So the finger can like, I guess, just put a finger on some part of your body and check your pulse.

00:18:17.880 And it can check for lumps.

00:18:23.080 I, for one, cannot wait to get fingered by my robot doctor.

00:18:28.100 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:18:30.440 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:18:32.960 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:18:38.940 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:18:44.320 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:18:49.160 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:18:52.600 But you got there on time.

00:18:54.480 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:18:57.060 Certain conditions apply.

00:18:57.980 I don't know if you saw a video of J.D. Vance at an event, and there was a very, very large woman that they placed on the stage behind him.

00:19:12.960 So you know how politicians always like to have a diverse set of supporters who are behind them on the stage, so that when you're looking, you can see, oh, people of all color and types and genders, they like this candidate.

00:19:27.380 So they had one very large woman of the diverse demographic, and the diverse woman who weighed something like 400 pounds crushed her chair while J.D. was. 1.00

00:19:45.740 She crushed her chair. 0.95

00:19:50.120 She was just sitting there, and all of a sudden, she crushed it.

00:20:00.360 So J.D., being quick on his feet, you know, he immediately stopped what he was doing because he thought somebody was in trouble.

00:20:08.280 And so he leapt to his feet to see what he could do.

00:20:12.380 Now, the first thing you like about that is that something dangerous happened, and you heard somebody, you know, scream out, and J.D. was immediately on his feet and facing the problem.

00:20:26.120 Like, that feels like military training, right?

00:20:29.440 You could easily imagine that if there's a loud scream behind you in the context of people being, you know, attempted to be assassinated on his very team, that the first thing you do is hit the ground, or that you would, like, look to get away from it or something.

00:20:44.840 He turned immediately toward it, you know, and it was behind him.

00:20:48.860 So just seeing the first instinct of Trump, which was to get up and yell, fight, fight, fight, it's just so revealing.

00:20:59.160 And then you see the first instinct of Vance, when there was trouble, is to go toward it.

00:21:04.900 He went toward it.

00:21:06.340 So I love that.

00:21:09.520 Who knows if it's, you know, really revealing his inner character or something, but this is somebody who joined the military, you know, the Marines.

00:21:18.860 That certainly suggests that he's a person who can run toward trouble.

00:21:25.240 But one thing I know is if RFK Jr. doesn't get elected, there's going to be a lot more broken chairs, because our food supply is completely botched.

00:21:37.260 And I don't even blame the people who were, you know, way overweight, as this particular woman was, 0.59

00:21:45.280 because I think our food system is so broken that some percentage of Americans just don't have a chance.

00:21:53.960 I mean, they don't have access to, you know, whole foods and, you know, maybe not the same knowledge of what the food is doing to them.

00:22:02.900 So, yeah, our food is really dangerous to at least half of Americans who haven't figured out a way around it.

00:22:10.480 And the other half are probably in trouble, too.

00:22:12.000 But Vance was smart and he blamed, he cleverly blamed Kamala Harris for building the platform.

00:22:20.180 So instead of blaming the person who was too heavy for a regular chair, he blamed the platform, not the chair.

00:22:27.060 And he blamed it on Harris, which in the context of a political campaign, got a real good laugh.

00:22:33.760 But it was smart that he, you know, he put the attention on Harris instead of the individual.

00:22:39.960 Nicely done.

00:22:42.980 By the way, just to be clear, I don't do fat shaming.

00:22:48.420 But the story is that an American ate American food until a chair broke.

00:22:53.920 So my focus here is on the food supply and the fact that we are not a healthy country.

00:23:00.960 That's where I'm looking.

00:23:04.640 You may have noticed that the polls seem to have dramatically shifted in Trump's favor.

00:23:12.280 Right on time.

00:23:13.380 How many of you are convinced that in the middle of October, you have known for at least a year

00:23:20.600 that no matter what the polls said until then, they would start to shift toward Trump toward the end?

00:23:28.540 Now, maybe not a shift toward him so that you'll see the as a commanding lead by Election Day.

00:23:34.580 But he doesn't need one.

00:23:37.000 You know why?

00:23:38.740 Do you know what it means if Trump is up by one or two nationally?

00:23:41.920 That's a landslide.

00:23:44.080 If a Republican is up by one or even tied in the national vote, that's a strong indication of a landslide in the Electoral College.

00:23:53.600 So in order for, I think Trump beat Hillary when Hillary had a pretty solid lead in the overall vote.

00:24:02.120 So here's what is really jumping out at me.

00:24:07.320 You have noticed that Kamala Harris keeps saying that she has a problem with men and that the male vote is just really obviously different than the female vote. 0.99

00:24:19.320 Let me ask you this question.

00:24:20.780 If I said to you, I want you to choose the gender that is more likely to lie to a pollster when they call your house, who's it going to be? 1.00

00:24:31.320 The man or the woman? 0.99

00:24:33.840 The Republican man or the Republican woman? 0.91

00:24:36.480 Who's going to lie to the pollster?

00:24:39.140 It's the man.

00:24:42.600 We do that.

00:24:44.520 It's who we are.

00:24:45.300 If we think we can get a strategic advantage by lying to a pollster, oh, we'll definitely do it without any reservation whatsoever, right?

00:24:55.960 It won't even feel like lying.

00:24:57.940 It'll just feel like strategy.

00:24:59.340 And the Democrats have all figured out by now that the so-called shy Trump supporter is not hypothetical.

00:25:11.940 Do you remember in the first election?

00:25:14.380 So before the election of 2016, I was very loudly and publicly saying that there was a shy Trump contingent and they were going to surprise in the end.

00:25:24.700 And there was, and they did, and it took a while, but eventually the media agreed, yeah, there really were a lot of Trump supporters who were hidden.

00:25:37.580 Now, in 2020, even though Trump lost, they found the same thing.

00:25:44.120 So in other words, even though he lost, the polls were way off in terms of his male support.

00:25:49.520 So right now, the polls show that Trump is slightly ahead in, I think, six of the seven swing states and slightly ahead in the national polls.

00:26:06.740 Do you know what that means when you add the shy Trump supporters?

00:26:10.400 If he's already ahead in all of the metrics that matter, he's never been there before.

00:26:19.520 Trump has never been leading in the polls, and on top of it, shy Trump supporters.

00:26:29.180 We've never been here before.

00:26:31.880 So you're looking at a total collapse of the Harris campaign.

00:26:37.420 The next week, you're going to see collapse.

00:26:40.660 The pollsters will start being a little more honest in the reporting.

00:26:46.460 Some of the ones who haven't weighed in will have to.

00:26:49.640 You will see that the older polls start dropping off the averages, right?

00:26:55.120 They'll focus on the newer ones.

00:26:57.120 And there will be a dominant position that Trump will have before the shy Trump voters.

00:27:03.180 If he's ahead on everything that matters, and he will be, and they haven't even counted the shy Trump supporters, he's got it in the bag.

00:27:15.960 But that doesn't mean he's going to win.

00:27:19.220 Doesn't mean that at all.

00:27:20.440 Let me tell you what Adam Townsend said.

00:27:27.780 So Adam Townsend, you should follow him on X if you're not.

00:27:32.160 He posted, there's a 100% chance the Democrats will use overseas ballots and other tactics to steal an election.

00:27:41.260 Do you agree with that?

00:27:42.440 Do you agree that the odds are 100% and we even know how they're going to do it?

00:27:48.920 The overseas ballots would be the biggest part probably.

00:27:52.060 So do you agree with the estimate of 100% odds of cheating?

00:27:57.580 I do.

00:27:59.220 How many things are 100%?

00:28:02.320 You know that I love to talk in percentages.

00:28:06.120 I don't use 100% very often.

00:28:09.900 Would you agree?

00:28:10.600 If you've been watching me for years, how often do I say there's 100% something will happen?

00:28:17.360 Not often.

00:28:18.740 Like even when I'm really, really sure, I try to keep it to 99 or 95.

00:28:24.140 Adam Townsend, one of the smartest guys you'll ever know, says 100% chance they're going to try to cheat with overseas ballots.

00:28:33.540 I agree.

00:28:35.600 It's 100%.

00:28:36.900 I don't know how there could be any other possibility, really.

00:28:42.720 And he asks, and then he points out further, that they clearly plan to exhaust all Republican and public efforts to challenge them, run out the clock with favorable press, and call anybody dissenting a neo-Nazi, etc.

00:28:59.440 Again, 100%.

00:29:01.440 Again, 100%.

00:29:02.960 100% that's going to happen.

00:29:07.300 100%.

00:29:07.900 And he asks, what's the RNC plan to counter it and mobilize mass street protests?

00:29:16.880 Of course, we're not going to.

00:29:17.860 And he mocks the Republicans for being so proud that Scott Pressler is registering lots of Republicans, which he is.

00:29:28.520 He's doing an amazing job.

00:29:30.320 But is that going to be enough if the cheat is on?

00:29:33.860 No.

00:29:34.860 It won't be enough.

00:29:35.920 So, he says two words that are the most important two words you need to know about what's going to happen on election day and the few days after that.

00:29:49.280 Two words.

00:29:51.600 Now what?

00:29:54.500 Now what?

00:29:55.400 I don't know.

00:29:59.080 I don't know.

00:29:59.860 The wild card is whether there's anything that the Republicans are doing, Laura Trump and all of her attorneys and watchers, is there anything they're doing that could detect this at a scale where the courts would say, oh, okay, wow, this is so bad, we have to put a stop to this?

00:30:20.140 Maybe.

00:30:20.580 But since we don't know exactly the nature of the cheating and all the places it could be caught, is it even possible?

00:30:28.980 If a million votes came in from overseas that were a million more than we expected and they didn't have proper anything on them, would it matter?

00:30:40.020 Would the watchers be able to look at the overseas votes and say, oh, these don't look good to us?

00:30:45.140 And even if they didn't look good, don't they get counted anyway?

00:30:47.840 And if they get counted anyway, then don't you have to, then you have an election result and they would call Kamala Harris as the winner. 0.99

00:30:57.200 When have we ever had somebody called the winner and have it reversed?

00:31:02.120 In American history, that's never happened, right?

00:31:04.740 Nobody's ever been declared the winner on election day.

00:31:07.520 And then, oh, we checked a little, did a little more checking, we reversed it.

00:31:12.220 I don't think we have reversible elections.

00:31:15.760 I think whoever is called the winner on election day is simply going to take the job.

00:31:21.360 I think that's where we're at.

00:31:23.100 And it's because we don't have a system that can correct it within the short period of time and with the tools that are available to the courts.

00:31:31.240 We don't have any tools to correct it.

00:31:33.180 I don't think.

00:31:34.680 Unless, again, unless the RNC with, you know, Watley and Trump have done such a good job that they can look behind, you know, they can look around corners and they can see in the darkness where nobody else can see.

00:31:48.500 I don't know how you do it.

00:31:50.280 I mean, I don't know how there's any practical way you could catch the cheating in time that anything useful could be done about it.

00:31:59.840 But we'll see.

00:32:01.800 So what now, I think, is the big question.

00:32:05.660 I don't think Republicans are going to take to the street because January 6th was such a chilling thing.

00:32:12.000 You could see that the Gestapo will round you up and put you in jail.

00:32:15.180 So, I don't know.

00:32:20.340 I really don't know what's going to happen.

00:32:23.180 I've told you the whole time that when I try to imagine the future after the election, I don't see anything.

00:32:31.960 And I've never had that before.

00:32:33.680 It's just like a black box.

00:32:35.900 Now, I have complete confidence that Trump will get the most natural votes.

00:32:42.680 That I have confidence in.

00:32:45.180 But who actually takes the job?

00:32:49.540 No idea.

00:32:50.800 No idea.

00:33:53.260 Kamala Harris was talking to a Hispanic crowd at Univision.

00:33:58.880 And she says very clearly that she's trying real hard to get a pathway to citizenship for all the people in this country, which means voting.

00:34:09.000 So, as others have said, you're saying it directly and out loud that the, she doesn't say that this is the point of it, but you can sort of assume this, that the point of the migration was just to help Democrats win elections and hold power.

00:34:27.240 And that none of what they said was true except that.

00:34:31.880 That's what it looked like.

00:34:32.940 She was asked about grocery prices, and she said she was born in the middle class and she would never forget it, and she wants an opportunity economy.

00:34:43.000 All right, let's be honest. 1.00

00:34:43.740 She is a moron, and we've never had a moron run for president, have we? 1.00

00:34:48.840 Like an actual moron. 1.00

00:34:52.220 She is a dumb person. 1.00

00:34:54.700 Like, Trump calls her out for a low IQ, and then, of course, you know, somebody's going to say it's sexist or racist. 1.00

00:35:00.780 But the fact is, you can just observe that she is not a high IQ individual. 1.00

00:35:08.320 She's dumb. 1.00

00:35:10.040 She's dumb. 1.00

00:35:12.000 And surprised me, because, you know, years ago when I would see her operate, you know, at these hearings and stuff, when she was a senator, I thought she was a pretty good operator. 1.00

00:35:23.540 But she's super dumb. 1.00

00:35:26.180 Like, actually just dumb. 0.99

00:35:27.940 Well, the Atlantic, that's a publication, sort of, Charlie Warzel writes that free speech was and is an unmitigated disaster, and we need to really aggressively get some aggressive government regulations on the speech platforms, because the free market doesn't work and it never will, in terms of free speech. 0.97

00:35:52.780 So there is a Democratic message that they'd like to end free speech, and they'd like to bring in illegal aliens to take your jobs and vote your money away.

00:36:06.460 And the Democrats are saying it pretty directly, pretty direct.

00:36:11.980 They want to take your free speech, they want to take your guns, and they want to make sure that your vote doesn't count, because they'll bring in lots of illegals, and it also gives them an ability to create their own illegal votes. 0.67

00:36:24.500 So, they're saying it directly, so they're saying it directly, you can't say that they didn't warn you, they did, they're warning you plenty, they're saying exactly what they bled to do.

00:36:38.440 Anyway, according to Zero Hedge, there's what's called an anti-hate art exhibit in LA.

00:36:46.080 Okay, so if you were going to do an anti-hate art exhibit, what would be some things that would be included?

00:36:54.560 Well, you probably have a long list of things you would include if you were doing an anti-hate art exhibit.

00:37:00.780 But this particular anti-hate art exhibit includes a head of Donald Trump that is either rubber or something that you can kick around.

00:37:15.880 So they had a game that involved using Donald Trump's head as a soccer ball.

00:37:23.760 This is for the anti-hate art exhibit.

00:37:27.740 So the anti-hate people were teaching people to hate white people, and Trump in particular, at the anti-hate art exhibit.

00:37:40.740 Now, have I ever mentioned that Tucker Carlson was completely right, even though I mocked him for years,

00:37:47.900 when he said that the Democrats will accuse you of doing exactly what they're doing right in front of you while they're accusing you? 1.00

00:37:54.140 And I said to myself, that's stupid. 0.99

00:37:57.740 They're not going to be doing exactly the thing that they're accusing you of. 1.00

00:38:02.560 I mean, how stupid would that be? 0.97

00:38:04.300 You couldn't accuse people of hate while running a... 1.00

00:38:08.500 Oh.

00:38:09.600 Okay.

00:38:10.840 Yeah, the art exhibit is accusing people of doing exactly what they're doing.

00:38:16.560 But thank God nobody else is doing that.

00:38:20.520 Thank God. 0.75

00:38:21.240 Next story, Obama is blaming black men for being too sexist and not supporting Kamala Harris. 0.96

00:38:28.760 Oh. 0.78

00:38:29.760 He talked to at some college and he said, quote,

00:38:31.920 the brothers are not turning out for Kamala Harris like they did for him,

00:38:35.520 and he thinks it might be because they're not comfortable with a woman as president.

00:38:41.880 Yeah. 0.99

00:38:42.260 He actually decided to be a racist against black people. 0.87

00:38:51.480 What is it that the Democrats accuse the Republicans of? 0.97

00:38:57.080 Oh, yeah. 0.95

00:38:58.560 It's being racist against black people. 0.99

00:39:00.820 So Obama tells some black men that they're bigots against women 0.99

00:39:06.720 and that that's why they won't have nice things. 0.99

00:39:12.920 Oh, my God.

00:39:14.780 Tucker Carlson was so right.

00:39:16.540 So now they're turning on each other, but they're keeping it racist and sexist.

00:39:26.400 So it's racist and sexist, and Trump's never mentioned anything along those lines at all.

00:39:35.340 All right.

00:39:35.940 And then Obama, of course, was taking credit for the economy.

00:39:40.280 Here's my take.

00:39:41.280 I think that immigration ruined the Democrats' narrative that our country was a competition

00:39:49.140 between black and white people.

00:39:51.880 Now, a competition between white people and everybody else, too, 0.69

00:39:56.520 but it felt like the major focus was that the world was black against white in the United States.

00:40:04.860 And then the border opened, and a bunch of people who were neither black nor white in the traditional way 0.99

00:40:12.740 are coming across the border and getting lots of resources that black people say,

00:40:19.300 hey, we can really use those resources.

00:40:22.760 And so the whole black versus white model just fell apart because it was never real.

00:40:28.880 It was never real.

00:40:29.940 And now it's just obvious because, you know, that money is involved, you know,

00:40:35.160 huge transfers of money away from either white or black Americans and toward the migrant group.

00:40:41.300 And so what do people say when they have a common enemy?

00:40:45.940 Well, you're my friend now.

00:40:48.680 So there is a common enemy, and I don't mean the migrants. 0.92

00:40:52.160 I mean the system that would allow some, you know, favorable treatment to some group that's not already here.

00:40:59.940 So the problem is the system, not the people.

00:41:02.960 I like to make that distinction in all things.

00:41:05.660 It's the system.

00:41:06.400 It's not the people.

00:41:08.980 All right.

00:41:11.540 Jamie Raskin, who is one of the people who is really big on Trump being an insurrectionist,

00:41:19.240 and January 6th was terrible, and who could ever challenge an election,

00:41:22.940 and who would ever interfere with an election, and the will of the people.

00:41:25.700 And somebody finally asked him if he would certify a Trump win even if it didn't look like it was a fair election.

00:41:37.060 And do you know what he said?

00:41:39.540 I'm paraphrasing, by the way, just paraphrasing.

00:41:42.440 He said something to the effect of, you know, if it looked like a good election,

00:41:46.580 if it looked like a good election, then, of course, he would certify him. 0.96

00:41:53.580 Oh, Raskin, you rascal.

00:41:58.140 You know what your next question is going to be?

00:42:00.900 What if it doesn't look like an historically typical election and Trump wins?

00:42:06.900 And notice my careful wording.

00:42:08.640 It doesn't look like the same patterns we've ever seen in the past.

00:42:14.300 And then Trump wins.

00:42:16.640 Would you certify his election, Jamie Raskin, if the voting pattern you saw did not match what you expected

00:42:22.720 or what a normal election normally looks like?

00:42:26.680 What's he going to say?

00:42:28.860 Well, he's going to say no.

00:42:31.700 He's going to say if the election doesn't look fair, we're going to have to look into it before we certify it.

00:42:39.600 What does that sound like?

00:42:41.160 That's January 6th. 0.62

00:42:42.880 This is the kill shot. 0.98

00:42:44.600 And by the way, the fact that it took this fucking long to find that kill shot that I've been telling you about 0.99

00:42:49.940 for I don't know how long is really, really disappointing me about the Republicans. 0.99

00:42:55.060 Get this fucking guy on camera and all the other fucking January 6th people. 0.99

00:43:00.380 And you ask this question. 0.99

00:43:02.900 If Trump wins and the election does not look like it was copacetic to you, will you certify him anyway? 1.00

00:43:10.680 You motherfuckers, you motherfucking cunts, will you certify him if it doesn't look like a good election to you? 1.00

00:43:18.280 Because that's what 2020 looked like to a lot of people. 1.00

00:43:22.920 It didn't look fair. 1.00

00:43:24.880 So you tell me, you fucking assholes. 1.00

00:43:27.460 You fucking assholes. 1.00

00:43:28.780 You tell me. 1.00

00:43:30.980 You get it certified if it looks wrong to you?

00:43:33.660 Get on video. 1.00

00:43:35.080 Fucking assholes. 1.00

00:43:37.720 Oh. 1.00

00:43:41.340 That's your kill shot. 1.00

00:43:43.740 That's your kill shot. 0.90

00:43:44.740 Meanwhile, Trump, giving a speech on energy, says he'll cut the energy costs and electricity in half within 12 months.

00:43:56.240 He'll expedite environmental approvals, double our electricity capacity, drive down inflation, make America and Michigan the best place on earth to build a factory.

00:44:05.060 Well, that sounds a little hyperbolic, but I don't mind at all.

00:44:12.020 I don't mind at all.

00:44:13.440 Do you think he's going to get energy prices cut in half in 12 months?

00:44:17.260 No, I don't think so.

00:44:19.180 Do you think he'll do everything that would be a smarter thing to do if you wanted to lower energy prices?

00:44:25.480 Yes.

00:44:26.660 Uh-huh.

00:44:27.320 Yep.

00:44:27.740 I think he'll do that.

00:44:29.160 Right.

00:44:29.700 That's what I'm asking for.

00:44:31.220 Am I asking specifically to cut electricity and energy in half in 12 months?

00:44:36.200 No.

00:44:37.020 It'd be great if he could do it, but I don't think he could do it.

00:44:39.400 I don't think anybody could do anything in 12 months, but is he going to do everything that a leader should do and all the things that Harris is not doing?

00:44:47.420 Yes.

00:44:48.240 Yes, he is.

00:44:49.280 And we know that because we know exactly what he likes to do and we know it works.

00:44:53.840 So, yes, I don't mind one bit if he is exaggerating what he can do in 12 months.

00:45:01.000 That's the president I want.

00:45:02.660 You know what I don't want?

00:45:03.820 Oh, I think I could take it down 10% in four years if I work really hard.

00:45:09.560 No.

00:45:10.460 No.

00:45:11.020 Tell me you can do better than that.

00:45:13.040 Tell me you can do 30%.

00:45:14.500 Nope, not good enough. 0.99

00:45:15.840 Tell me you can bring it down 50 fucking percent. 0.98

00:45:18.500 I don't believe it, but I love that you said it. 0.98

00:45:21.000 I love that you said it, even though I don't believe it.

00:45:25.800 That's fine.

00:45:26.840 I want my leaders to think big.

00:45:28.940 I want them to reach as far as they can reach, fight as hard as they can fight, do everything they can do, and over-claim.

00:45:38.600 Go ahead, over-claim.

00:45:40.360 I'm good with that because maybe it'll help us, you know, perform a little better.

00:45:45.220 It's not unusual in leadership and motivation to over-claim.

00:45:49.680 Which one's a leader?

00:45:51.900 Trump.

00:45:52.960 Trump.

00:45:53.740 I told you that men don't need to be wooed. 0.83

00:45:56.700 We need a leader.

00:45:57.440 Leader, you're going to do what?

00:45:59.300 You're going to cut my electricity in half and you tell me how you're going to do it with expedited environmental approvals and basically lower regulations?

00:46:08.740 Oh, okay.

00:46:10.100 That's leadership.

00:46:11.640 I'm in.

00:46:12.740 I'm in.

00:46:13.640 Yeah.

00:46:13.920 And if you didn't do this, if you didn't do this, then I'm your leader because I'm not going to be leaderless.

00:46:21.500 Either be the leader or I'm going to be the leader. 0.99

00:46:24.080 And don't fucking woo me. 0.99

00:46:25.960 I don't need to be wooed. 0.99

00:46:27.240 I need a leader.

00:46:28.320 It's either somebody else or me.

00:46:30.740 And every man is saying the same thing.

00:46:32.960 All right.

00:46:33.360 I like a leader so I could just do my own life. 0.98

00:46:36.520 But if you can't give me a leader, I'm going to have to fucking do it because we're biologically built that way that we won't be leaderless. 0.98

00:46:43.540 We just won't do it. 0.99

00:46:46.060 Trump's a leader.

00:46:47.600 That's what it looks like.

00:46:49.680 That's perfect leadership.

00:46:50.880 Exactly what he's going to do.

00:46:54.140 Exactly the right priorities.

00:46:56.440 Will it be 50% in 12 months?

00:46:58.900 I doubt it.

00:47:00.220 But I love that he says it.

00:47:02.340 I love that he says it.

00:47:03.560 Meanwhile, Judge Chuck Kahn is an Obama, she is an Obama appointed judge.

00:47:17.180 And she's going to unseal Jack Smith's quote evidence against Trump before the election.

00:47:24.220 Now, you might know that there's a very long history of the courts and the FBI and everybody wanting to not interfere with an election.

00:47:34.620 But it's not a law.

00:47:36.400 There's no law that says you can't do it.

00:47:38.360 It's just people who want what's best for the country know that you don't want to ruin the electoral process by throwing some legal stuff in there or some FBI and stuff in there and that that's just not good for the country. 0.90

00:47:52.540 However, Judge Chuck Kahn apparently doesn't give a fuck what's good for the country, only what's good for her team. 0.55

00:47:58.500 And she's going to unseal that evidence in October surprise. 0.98

00:48:01.620 But here's the joke on them.

00:48:05.640 Nobody's going to believe the October surprise.

00:48:08.360 No, nobody really cares about the details of this thing.

00:48:11.500 And there's probably nothing in there that's especially damning anyway.

00:48:14.240 So I'm not sure it'll make any difference.

00:48:17.540 But they can write anything in there and there won't be time to legally dispute it.

00:48:24.720 So just the fact that people will have heard the accusations is so slimy, so dirty, so obviously interfering with an election in a way that should be illegal.

00:48:34.920 And this is one of those weird cases where I'm absolutely positive that the judge should be in jail for this.

00:48:41.660 And I'm absolutely positive that Trump should not be guilty of anything based on what I've seen.

00:48:48.480 So how often have you seen a case where you're pretty sure the judge should be locked up immediately and that the defendant should be set free?

00:48:56.580 I've never seen one.

00:48:58.360 I've never even heard of that.

00:49:00.460 I mean, I've seen bad judges, but usually the defendant is guilty too.

00:49:04.400 I've never seen the case where the judge should obviously go to jail.

00:49:09.200 I mean, just obviously.

00:49:10.760 There's no crime that I'm aware of.

00:49:13.700 But the badness with which she's acting is on a level that you should think, oh, somebody acting that poorly and that anti-socially, you wish they're in jail.

00:49:26.380 Well, but there's no law against it as far as I know.

00:49:31.640 All right.

00:49:35.140 The betting markets are anewac with the polling at the moment, quite anewac, because the polling says it'll be close.

00:49:43.680 But the betting market says no way.

00:49:46.540 Trump's up 13 points on the betting markets.

00:49:50.040 And that happened fairly recently.

00:49:51.840 So it's a little bit closer and then, bam, big difference.

00:49:56.160 Why do you think there's a big difference suddenly?

00:50:00.460 Go.

00:50:01.520 In the comments, I want you to give me your opinion of why it suddenly changed.

00:50:06.120 And then I'll tell you the correct answer.

00:50:08.960 The correct answer is that people have different information.

00:50:15.100 When people had all the same information about the candidates and the polling, the betting markets and the polling weren't too far off.

00:50:27.120 But that's not the case now.

00:50:29.680 The people who have access to the internal polling.

00:50:33.920 You see that Trump has a dominant position.

00:50:36.780 The people who only have access to the public polling still think it's close.

00:50:41.920 So whenever you have this situation, which is an unusual one, it's unusual that there would be some subset of bettors who would have way better information than the other subset of bettors.

00:50:56.780 When you've got some bettors who know the real answer and some bettors don't, boop, you're going to see that jump.

00:51:05.160 So what you're seeing is that the people who have access to the internal polling are betting strong on Trump because they know he's way ahead.

00:51:14.740 The people who have only access to the public polling are still saying, well, Democrats have a good ground game.

00:51:21.660 So I think Kamala's going to pull it out. 1.00

00:51:24.460 So I think the entire thing is that the insiders now have special knowledge about the extent of the difference.

00:51:31.720 I believe the Harris campaign is now the beginning of what will be a complete collapse in the next week.

00:51:40.380 Within the next week, all the polls will true up because it's the middle of the month and it's too close to the election to let it go on any further.

00:51:48.880 So that's when complete collapse happens.

00:51:52.160 And you're going to see a level of finger pointing by the Democrats.

00:51:55.500 I think the Democrats will fairly quickly abandon the normal rhetoric and start pointing fingers at each other so that the important thing is they know who was responsible for the loss that's coming. 0.95

00:52:10.700 Now, at the same time that those Democrats are thinking, oh, damn, we lost, I also think, I agree with Adam Townsend, that there's some other group of just criminals, just pure criminals, that are not working with the leadership. 0.88

00:52:28.520 It's like the Democrat leadership, maybe one of them is. 0.98

00:52:33.260 But in general, they're not having conversations with anybody who's planning to throw the election.

00:52:40.000 So if you didn't have any direct contact with anybody on your team who is literally planning to throw the election and the only polling you saw look terrible for your candidate, you would start pointing fingers because you think, oh, shoot, we're going to lose this.

00:52:52.500 The only thing I can get out of this is try to not have my reputation go down.

00:53:00.780 So people are going to point at Kamala Harris's campaign.

00:53:03.880 They're going to point at Biden.

00:53:05.040 They're going to point at Obama. 0.99

00:53:06.860 Obama's going to point at black men. 0.99

00:53:09.380 Women are going to blame men. 1.00

00:53:12.580 Pollsters are going to blame.

00:53:15.260 So next week, oh, it's going to be fun.

00:53:18.660 Total collapse, followed by the finger pointing.

00:53:24.240 But we still don't know who's going to win because Adam Townsend has the right take on this.

00:53:31.040 The votes, I don't think, are going to be the thing that determines who wins.

00:53:38.420 Anyway, do you know a, there's a, I guess I have to say he's black because that's just part of the story.

00:53:45.820 Ta-Nehisi Coates, I guess you'd call him an activist.

00:53:52.540 And he's saying some things about Israel and the Palestinians that are getting people all worked up.

00:53:58.560 So I said to myself, oh, I think I'll wade into this and cause some trouble.

00:54:02.760 No, I just thought that some clarifications were in order.

00:54:06.340 Let me ask you this.

00:54:07.420 So he said something that got taken out of context, in my opinion, that he wouldn't be, he said that he could imagine that if he had had, and I'm paraphrasing here, he said that if he could imagine what it was like to be a Palestinian living under the conditions that the Gazans were living under,

00:54:30.080 that he couldn't rule out the fact that he might have been persuaded to participate in something like an October 7th surprise as a Palestinian.

00:54:41.860 Now, most people, good people, the people who don't like terrorism and violence, and the people who love Israel, quite reasonably said,

00:54:51.920 did you just say that if people were persuasive, you might become a terrorist?

00:55:00.040 Really?

00:55:01.140 And how could he even, how could he even say that?

00:55:03.920 How could you say that in public unless you were, you know, a little bit anti-Semitic?

00:55:10.140 Because who goes in public and says, under the right conditions, I would have been one of the Hamas terrorists? 0.79

00:55:19.040 Is that something you say in public?

00:55:21.920 Well, I'm going to surprise you and disappoint some of you.

00:55:27.740 I totally agree with him.

00:55:29.940 A hundred percent.

00:55:31.600 But not because of anything about politics, not anything about Hamas or Israel or Jews or Palestinians.

00:55:39.120 My opinion has nothing to do with the people involved.

00:55:42.520 It's just that you can brainwash anybody to do anything.

00:55:47.000 Did you not know that?

00:55:48.240 Well, you can brainwash anybody to do anything, always, everywhere, all through time.

00:55:57.060 That's never been different.

00:55:59.280 Do you think that the German citizens who got convinced to do horrible things, do you think that they were all born horrible people?

00:56:06.860 No, no, no, they had a certain set of influences.

00:56:10.480 Do you think that the Manson family, the members who were not Charles Manson, do you think every one of them was a murderous psychopath?

00:56:19.720 Not always, not always, not always, they were put in a position of brainwashing and became that.

00:56:26.500 So when Todd Nahasi Coates says that he can imagine that if he were in a certain set of circumstances, that he would have been one of the terrorists, I'm going to agree with him totally. 0.90

00:56:38.860 Absolutely. I could totally imagine that if I were in a certain set of circumstances where brainwashing was being deeply applied every day since I was born.

00:56:49.920 Absolutely. Yeah.

00:56:51.620 So I'm going to back Todd Nahasi on this one opinion.

00:56:56.200 Again, it has nothing to do with Jews or Palestinians, has nothing to do with Israel, has nothing to do with the Palestinians, has nothing to do with Hamas.

00:57:03.700 Not even talking about that. Just this one point. Could any regular good human be turned into a murderous monster?

00:57:13.380 Yes. Yes. All of us. Every one of us. Yeah. Guaranteed. Yeah. You just have to start from birth.

00:57:22.680 That's all it takes. The Palestinians have been trained since birth.

00:57:25.880 So there's no mystery to it. There's no secret technique. There's no magic they use. There's no, there's no like, oh, it's only because these three amazing coincidences happen.

00:57:37.740 No, this is the most ordinary thing in the world that anybody can be turned into a psychopathic murder.

00:57:44.280 If you don't know that, a lot of the world will be confusing to you.

00:57:47.360 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:57:56.360 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. Are those from Winners? 0.96

00:58:00.800 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? 0.70

00:58:04.620 Or that leather tote? Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots?

00:58:08.300 That dress? That jacket? Those shoes?

00:58:10.780 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:58:13.700 Stop wondering. Start winning.

00:58:15.540 Winners find fabulous for less.

00:58:19.300 So, let me be clear. I don't know what else Ta-Nehisi Coates says about anything else.

00:58:25.360 I'm sure I don't agree with it all, so I'm not, you know, backing him and all of his opinions.

00:58:30.380 I'm just saying, anybody can be brainwashed to become a murderer if you have enough time and you put enough effort into it.

00:58:37.980 However, he did raise this question, and this will be something about the media landscape.

00:58:48.560 Okay. So, as carefully as I can say this, nothing that I say next will be justifying terrorism or murder.

00:58:59.760 But it might sound like that, because that's the way he got blamed on it.

00:59:03.760 So, I'm going to walk into the same trap he walked into, because here's why I'm doing it.

00:59:08.840 I'm doing it because I don't like the fact that he was treated the way he was for the ordinary part of his opinion.

00:59:14.720 He's got some opinions you're not going to like.

00:59:18.000 He's got some opinions I don't like, but not this one.

00:59:23.260 And I've got to make a distinction there.

00:59:26.000 So, here's another thing he said.

00:59:27.760 He described the difficulty and what would appear to be discrimination of the Palestinians compared to the Israeli citizens.

00:59:38.620 Now, talking about both in Israel, but also in the West Bank.

00:59:42.480 So, how many of you know the details of that?

00:59:47.960 How many of you, if I said to you, hey, can you describe what are the Palestinians even complaining about? 1.00

00:59:54.640 Like, what's going on that would make you want to behave badly?

01:00:00.220 Now, here's the important part.

01:00:02.680 I don't think that the bad treatment from, the allegedly bad treatment from Israel is why the attacks happened.

01:00:12.480 Israel, I think, has supported them, but it's not why they happened.

01:00:16.800 The why it happened had to do with the religious interpretations.

01:00:20.140 And Israel did not give the religious interpretations to the Palestinians.

01:00:24.340 They gave that to themselves.

01:00:25.980 So, the reason for it is the religious interpretation.

01:00:29.420 But it is certainly supported by the population who says, yes, we have some real complaints.

01:00:37.880 How many of you, if you were asked, could describe the real complaints that the Palestinians have in their situation?

01:00:46.620 Now, again, I want to be careful.

01:00:49.020 They could be real complaints, but not necessarily Israel's fault.

01:00:53.500 And the way that would work is that Israel has a totally dangerous situation where there are too many terrorists that they can't identify within the normal public.

01:01:04.840 So, they're acting in a way that you wouldn't want anybody to act unless they were trying to save their lives, which is exactly what they're trying to do.

01:01:12.060 They're trying to save their own lives.

01:01:13.500 And that requires something a little less than, a lot less than, you know, full, equal freedom and treating everybody the same.

01:01:23.100 But how many of you have even seen a news story in which somebody said, well, we certainly don't support any of the violence.

01:01:31.320 But it should be said that the conditions, partly, mostly it's the religious interpretation, but partly the, you know, the way people are treated differently on the ground might be part of the story.

01:01:45.200 Could you do it?

01:01:47.700 I couldn't.

01:01:49.300 So, I went to chat GPT and I said, tell me what the Palestinian complaints are.

01:01:55.280 And it was a pretty long explanation.

01:01:57.460 It was stuff like inability to travel with the same freedom as the Israelis. 0.98

01:02:05.560 Again, that's because it's dangerous.

01:02:08.980 It's not random discrimination.

01:02:11.960 The Israelis know that if you let Israelis travel wherever they want, the Israelis don't blow stuff up.

01:02:19.200 But if you let the Palestinians travel wherever they want, one of them is going to come in with a weapon. 1.00

01:02:27.460 And they don't want one person to come in with a weapon.

01:02:30.260 I don't.

01:02:31.840 So, that would require some differential treatment between the demographic groups, which is discriminatory.

01:02:39.680 And if it happened to you and you couldn't get where you wanted, you'd be really, really mad that the people were stopping you.

01:02:45.100 If you were not personally violent, you'd be like, I didn't do anything.

01:02:49.440 You just discriminate.

01:02:50.740 What?

01:02:50.900 I can't go on this road?

01:02:52.960 Are you telling me that only Israeli Jews can go on this road?

01:02:56.860 Or maybe Israeli citizens? 0.62

01:02:58.240 I'm not sure.

01:03:01.520 So, it's complicated.

01:03:03.500 But if you've never heard the story of what their, like, actual legitimate citizen complaints are, then you wouldn't understand the full situation.

01:03:12.960 Now, let me go back to a point I've made in the past.

01:03:18.460 We all like to live in a world where there are rules and people act ethically and people act morally.

01:03:26.700 There is an exception to that.

01:03:28.360 Do you remember what the exception is?

01:03:29.980 Where you can act immorally and unethically and even illegally.

01:03:34.040 It's self-defense.

01:03:35.900 If self-defense is what we're talking about, you can do anything you want.

01:03:39.040 And in my view, Israel, who is taking a self-defense, rationally, logically, obviously, common sense, they're taking a self-defense posture.

01:03:51.680 And in some situations, such as determining who can freely use a road, it requires some discrimination.

01:03:59.660 Now, I'm not favoring it.

01:04:01.220 I'm just saying that if you're going to be mad at somebody for self-defense, you're off base.

01:04:12.200 And it's the same argument about the border. 0.99

01:04:15.180 I want the border sealed tight as a gnat's ass. 0.98

01:04:21.060 But would that be discrimination against, you know, the good people who just want to be American citizens and work and add to the tax base? 0.99

01:04:29.700 It would be a little, some would say, unethical or immoral to discriminate against 99 people to stop that one cartel or Venezuelan gang member to come over.

01:04:45.600 You know, you're basically treating 100 people like the one bad one that's in the batch.

01:04:50.400 I'm okay with that.

01:04:51.780 No problem with that.

01:04:53.540 Nope.

01:04:54.280 Is it immoral, unethical?

01:04:57.280 I don't care.

01:04:58.140 Why would I care?

01:05:01.680 If it saves me from being killed, be unethical.

01:05:06.540 Be immoral.

01:05:08.200 Violate your Bible, if you like. 0.98

01:05:10.360 If it keeps me from getting killed, of course.

01:05:13.440 So I'm going to apply the same standard to Israel, which is if I watch anybody doing anything that looks unethical or immoral to somebody else,

01:05:21.640 but it's also clearly keeping the people safe who are doing it, I'm going to say, none of my business.

01:05:29.360 None of my business.

01:05:30.700 Because you know what else is none of anybody else's business is what I do to keep myself safe.

01:05:36.260 None of your business.

01:05:39.180 Nobody's business but mine.

01:05:40.500 So, same situation.

01:05:43.120 So, it's complicated, and I think it's fair if you want to understand the situation to see that there are legitimate complaints from the citizens of the Palestinian situation.

01:05:56.780 But, in my opinion, the source of their complaints is their own people.

01:06:01.500 So, if the Palestinians rooted out the terrorists within their ranks, taught their children not to be dangerous in these situations,

01:06:14.040 then eventually they would solve their own problem, and Israel would say,

01:06:17.920 huh, nobody's attacked us like a terrorist in 10 years.

01:06:21.620 Why do we have these roadblocks?

01:06:23.000 It's not helping anybody.

01:06:24.320 So, they get rid of the roadblocks.

01:06:25.800 So, the Palestinians have a lot of control over their situation, but it's going to look like Israel's the bad guy, 1.00

01:06:37.220 because they're the ones putting the force down, but self-defense.

01:06:42.800 There's no argument against self-defense that makes any sense.

01:06:48.020 So, that's the situation.

01:06:50.520 I hope I nuanced that enough so I don't get double-canceled by the end of the day.

01:06:54.740 And, ladies and gentlemen, I think I've said enough for today.

01:06:58.960 Too much, maybe.

01:07:00.640 I'm going to talk to the subscribers on Locals privately, so the rest of you who are on X and Rumble and YouTube,

01:07:12.460 I'll see you later.

01:07:13.760 You can see over my shoulder.

01:07:16.380 No, that shoulder.

01:07:18.100 The 2025 Dilbert calendar, now for sale at Dilbert.com.

01:07:22.300 It's the only place you can find the link to buy it.

01:07:25.580 It's not on Amazon, and it won't be.

01:07:27.580 It's not in bookstores, and it won't be.

01:07:29.940 It's only in one place, online, at the link at Dilbert.com.

01:07:34.940 It's right at the top.

01:07:35.840 You'll find it.

01:07:36.860 And then, I've reintroduced my book, Win Bigly, that you see behind me.

01:07:40.900 This is the second edition.

01:07:42.000 So, if you're trying to understand persuasion, you can learn persuasion to use it yourself

01:07:48.440 by listening to the story about Trump and 2016, a little bit of updates in the book,

01:07:54.020 but mostly about the prior election.

01:07:56.160 And you can see all the tricks of persuasion, and you can learn them for yourself.

01:08:00.220 A lot of people say it changes their life.

01:08:02.540 Once you learn how persuasion works, you're just better at everything.

01:08:06.280 All right.

01:08:07.920 That's all for now.

01:08:10.180 Coming at you, locals. 1.00
