Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization. It's called
00:00:39.620
Coffee with Scott Adams, and I can assure you that you've never had a better time in
00:00:44.280
your whole life. But if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even comprehend
00:00:49.820
with their shiny, tiny human brains, all you need is a cupper, mugger, a glass of tanker
00:00:54.260
gels, a stein, a canteen jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite
00:00:58.780
liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine
00:01:03.180
at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous
00:01:15.360
Oh, my goodness. I'm seeing in the comments a sign from Berkeley that says,
00:01:21.240
Conservatives welcome. Is there an official Berkeley statement that they're welcoming
00:01:28.340
conservatives? That's not true. It's not even close to true that they're welcoming
00:01:38.940
Well, the top of the news, according to Science Alert, drinking caffeine may reduce your Alzheimer's
00:01:44.280
clumps. Yeah, if you've got some clumps in your head and you put enough coffee in there,
00:01:51.780
the coffee will remove your Alzheimer's clumps. I feel like I've got a little clump forming,
00:01:58.800
so if you don't mind, then I'm going to take one more sip to see if I can declump that so
00:02:10.680
I think it's working. Yeah, yeah, I feel the clump going away.
00:02:16.860
Excellent. All right, here's your simulation thought for the day. This is going to ruin your
00:02:25.120
whole day. Here's what's going to happen. AI is going to train on everything in the real world.
00:02:33.800
So it's going to suck up the entire internet, already has. Then it's going to learn from robots
00:02:40.440
who are doing real things. So as the robots are learning how to do things, the other robots will
00:02:46.080
get that knowledge and then they'll all be able to do things. However, between the times that AI
00:02:52.800
has sucked up everything that's on the internet and the time that there are enough robots operating
00:02:58.140
in the real world just like their people, there's going to be this period where the AI is going to
00:03:03.280
be trained on artificial worlds. In other words, the AI will create an imaginary world and then it will
00:03:13.840
observe the imaginary world to learn things for the real world. How many imaginary worlds will each
00:03:22.400
AI platform form in order to train itself? The answer is more than one. So every AI that's based in the
00:03:35.460
real world will be creating probably multiple AIs just to train itself. So for example, it might train
00:03:44.560
an AI about a guy who lives in the real world, but he doesn't really, he thinks he does. He thinks he's
00:03:51.840
a cartoonist and he thinks he has one water leak related problem after another for his entire life and
00:03:59.280
can't get over the fact that it's such a bad coincidence. For example, right now my neighbors are saying,
00:04:06.880
is there some reason that this stream of water is running from your property down the road?
00:04:10.880
To which I say, hmm, I guess that will be number 1,625 things that I will have to look into to find
00:04:20.080
out about my water leak problems. Could it be that I am an artificial training module who is supposed to
00:04:28.480
live something like a normal life except it's peppered with continuous problems in just a few different
00:04:35.040
domains? I have a few other patterns like the water thing where there's something that happens to me
00:04:41.280
over and over, just my entire life, just to me, over and over. And as soon as one part is done,
00:04:48.000
a new part will jump in to replace it. Now that can't be a coincidence. It really can't be. There's
00:04:54.800
just no way that these are coincidences. So for the longest time, I've been under the impression that I'm
00:05:01.600
a training module. But I never thought I was training AI. I always assumed I was training just people
00:05:08.400
in another realm. But it makes far more sense since we know our AI will create the training modules.
00:05:16.880
The odds are that we're a training module. Or the odds are that I'm a training module and
00:05:23.520
you might be NPCs. I don't know. Or there could be one big fake world, but then the individuals are
00:05:30.400
placed into it in artificial situations that they can spot. So I will add to the thing that
00:05:39.440
Elon Musk says often that if you're going to create even one artificial world, you'll probably create more
00:05:46.400
than one. So the number of artificial ones that think they're real will definitely, a far out number,
00:05:54.480
maybe a billion to one, the number that are real.
00:05:57.040
Did you know there's a report from No Ridge, no with a K-N-O-W, that MIT engineers have figured out how to use
00:06:09.840
solar power for desalinization. Now you might say to yourself, Scott, I'm pretty sure they already know
00:06:18.080
how to use electricity to desalinate water. Duh! Well, here's what they did that's different.
00:06:24.800
They don't need a battery. Normally, if you're desalinating, you have to put a constant amount
00:06:30.560
of pressure to shoot the water through the filter usually, or whatever it is that they're using to
00:06:36.320
desalinate. But the MIT engineers found a way to moderate how much energy is going into the
00:06:43.040
desalinization based on how much sun there is at any moment. And that gets rid of the need for battery
00:06:49.840
storage, which is a big, big, big, big, big deal. It means that you listen to this number.
00:06:58.960
So I saw a picture that looked like it was maybe like the size of the, I don't know, the back of a
00:07:04.640
small van or something. But I couldn't tell how much that was the active part of the equipment,
00:07:09.600
but it fit in there. So it's, you know, it's not as big as a building. It's something you can put in a
00:07:13.680
truck. And it made 5,000 liters, I think. Where's that number? It made 5,000 liters of clean water in
00:07:23.920
one day, even as the weather was changing. So it wasn't always sunny, and it wasn't always daytime.
00:07:31.200
And it still made 5,000 liters of clean water in one day. That feels like a lot of water, isn't it?
00:07:37.600
Like, how much would you need to take a shower? How many liters? I don't know. It's hard to put that
00:07:44.720
in perspective. Anyway, did you know that there's a new university in America that's sort of anti-woke
00:07:52.880
and some billionaires are funding it? So in Austin, the University of Austin is brand new.
00:08:00.000
Well, brand new. November 2021 has started. It's got a couple of big billionaires behind it. It's got
00:08:05.920
Harlan Crow and Jeff Yass. And it's small. It's only got 92 kids in it, but it's growing.
00:08:15.920
So here, the free market is doing the free market thing. So there's actually a college you could go
00:08:22.000
to now without all the woke garbage. Will it work? I don't know. I still think that AI and robots are
00:08:31.600
going to be the new education system of the future. I don't think the idea of driving somewhere and
00:08:39.520
some big organizations in charge of your... I don't know if that model is going to work in the long run.
00:08:46.480
So anyway, you probably all know the story. Yesterday, Elon Musk's starship took off and
00:08:55.920
not only successfully took off and separated, which is what they were testing, but the hard part,
00:09:01.840
was the reusability. The reusability depends on this thing. I guess they can't do it the way the
00:09:09.920
other rockets do, which is simply to land, you know, standing up. For some reason, it can't do it.
00:09:15.680
I think it has to do with the size of the weight or something. So instead, Musk designed a gigantic set
00:09:23.760
of chopsticks. That's what he calls it. It's like two arms that are like chopsticks. And this gigantic
00:09:32.160
rocket falls down and these chopsticks grab it before it hits the ground. And you don't even
00:09:37.920
believe this could possibly work. It's the most ridiculously unlikely successful thing you've
00:09:44.960
ever seen in your life. Like I would have made a pretty big bet that that wouldn't work. There
00:09:52.080
it is. It's probably like a billion dollar bet that paid off. So I have to say that was one of
00:10:00.560
the most inspiring things I've seen. And I'm going to say what you're all thinking, but you don't want
00:10:06.320
to say it out loud because you're good people and you don't like to cause trouble.
00:10:09.760
Did you notice that we got the biggest, most impressive technical achievement out of the
00:10:28.480
It might be, it might be a coincidence, but it's hard to ignore that there's one person who's
00:10:34.880
the most vocal about being anti-woke and that that very same person's company did something
00:10:41.680
that we didn't even think could be done in America anymore because we don't have other companies doing
00:10:46.480
something that impressive anymore. So we just sort of thought, well, I guess we're done doing
00:10:50.400
impressive things. And then he does something that's so impressive, the entire world stopped
00:10:55.200
and said, wait, what are you doing over there? What?
00:10:57.440
Did you really just send an enormous rocket into space and then just catch it with giant chopsticks?
00:11:04.320
You did? My God, that is impressive. Now, I don't want to go too far and say that, yes,
00:11:12.800
it's because they ignore DEI. That's why they're successful. That's not, that's not in evidence.
00:11:18.480
That's not in evidence. I'm just saying it would be a weird coincidence if the person who's most famous
00:11:24.560
for being in favor of merit coincidentally had the best success. I mean, it could be a coincidence,
00:11:36.800
but I doubt it. I doubt it. By the way, I do think they probably do have some kind of DEI
00:11:45.440
efforts, but maybe they don't go crazy on it. Probably they do. Here's a stat from Evil Texan on X.
00:11:59.440
Did you know SpaceX has 13,000 employees and they're doing amazing things? And NASA has 42,000 employees
00:12:09.440
and your tax money is paying for it, unlike SpaceX. And so far, the 42,000 employees at NASA have managed also a success.
00:12:21.760
So they're both good. So SpaceX has put impossible rockets into space and rescued some astronauts.
00:12:30.640
And NASA with its 42,000 employees. Not to be outdone, they've launched a gay flag. So a gay flag.
00:12:40.560
So they've, they've matched the regular flag with a gay, gay flag.
00:12:47.520
And you know, it didn't launch itself, people. I mean, that flag didn't just get on that pole by itself.
00:12:55.520
That required NASA and its 42,000 employees. So good job, NASA, of raising a flag.
00:13:04.720
SpaceX halfway to Mars. Okay. Meanwhile, in a story that shouldn't be funny, but it is,
00:13:15.200
Bill Clinton went to McDonald's and he was being filmed from a short distance away, you know, just to see.
00:13:22.480
And the idea was, uh, apparently they were trying to see the reaction of the staff.
00:13:28.960
When Bill Clinton walks in and orders a hamburger,
00:13:32.240
imagine, just imagine what the ordinary staff would be there. They're just doing their McDonald's
00:13:36.960
job. It's like, Oh, would you like some fries? You know, you're, you know, would you like something
00:13:41.600
with that apple pie? And then the next customer that walks in is Bill Clinton, just by himself.
00:13:49.760
He walks up to the cashier and the cashier. Now, just so you can imagine it, it's not important to
00:13:55.040
the story, but just so you can visualize it. Imagine a, uh, maybe 20 something year old, uh, black woman.
00:14:06.240
And she looks up and she sees Bill Clinton standing on the other side of the cash register.
00:14:20.560
And Bill Clinton had to introduce himself. Uh, no, I'm Bill Clinton. Well, then she was very impressed.
00:14:30.320
She, she did recognize that name and they, they got along great. Um, so that wasn't exactly what
00:14:38.960
they were planning on when Bill Clinton went to McDonald's, but it was still good. It was still fun.
00:14:44.880
So apparently Duke energy and his big solar farm in Florida, it's where they've got, you know,
00:14:50.240
gigantic number of, uh, solar panels on big fields. And, uh, I guess hurricane Milton or more specifically,
00:14:57.920
probably a tornado associated with it, just ripped a path right through the middle of it.
00:15:03.600
So one of the problems with solar panels is that a big wind storm will just rip them up.
00:15:12.640
I don't know. Is it, do you think that a nuclear power plant would have problems from wind or a
00:15:20.000
tornado? Would a tornado hurt a nuclear power plant? I feel like they would make sure that it wouldn't,
00:15:26.480
that that would be kind of basic to make sure that it was hardened against that. Um, but the,
00:15:33.120
the solar panels just got destroyed anyway. Um, so there's a report of a potential
00:15:41.680
third assassination attempt against Trump. Uh, but there was a little ambiguity this time
00:15:47.360
because the person who was captured didn't have guns with him, but he had guns in his car.
00:15:51.760
He, uh, apparently is a well-documented long time, uh, Trump supporter.
00:16:01.040
And there's evidence of it more than just him saying it. So he's, he's got a, uh, some girlfriend
00:16:06.640
type who says, I've been going to Trump events with him forever. He's a, he's a Trump supporter,
00:16:10.880
but the local police, um, local police sheriff said that because the guy showed up with multiple
00:16:19.200
passports, uh, in different names, he had an unregistered vehicle with a fake license plate.
00:16:24.480
He had loaded firearms in it. And, uh, apparently he had some, some fake way to get into the VIP section.
00:16:32.800
And the sheriff says, uh, if you're asking him right, right now, I probably did have W's
00:16:38.160
that prevented the third assassination attempt. So basically says, the sheriff says, we have a serious,
00:16:45.200
serious problem in this country, uh, because this is a common sense and reason. In other words,
00:16:51.600
the sheriff is saying that this guy was so sketchy in, in his behavior, not his thoughts.
00:16:58.720
We don't know what his thoughts were, but his behavior was so sketchy that to imagine it wasn't
00:17:05.760
that he wasn't up to something. No good is sort of unreasonable.
00:17:11.760
But from what I can tell, there's pretty good evidence. He's a Trump supporter.
00:17:17.120
So this one's a funny one. Um, I don't think I'm going to take the side of him being a assassin,
00:17:27.840
but anything's possible, right? Anything's possible. So I'm not going to rule it out,
00:17:33.520
but innocent until proven guilty. He has a history of being a Trump supporter.
00:17:39.360
And before that, apparently he was a Bernie guy. And I don't think the Bernie guy who becomes a Trump
00:17:46.400
supporter becomes an assassin unless there was mental illness involved. And apparently there wasn't.
00:17:53.600
But on the other hand, why does he need a unregistered car full of guns and fake passports with different
00:18:00.880
names? Well, uh, I'll just throw out a possibility that there are a lot of Trump supporters who say
00:18:10.720
things like, uh, I think Andrew Tate says this, that, uh, you should have multiple passports because
00:18:18.000
the country might not be safe. Meaning America might not be safe. So you might need a bug out country
00:18:24.160
or, or multiple bug out countries. He's not wrong about that. By the way, when, when Andrew Tate says,
00:18:30.880
maybe you should have some multiple passports just in case things go bad, wherever you are,
00:18:36.480
that feels like just sort of basic risk management. That's not crazy at all. I I'm not doing it myself,
00:18:43.200
but it's not crazy. So who knows? We'll find out maybe, uh, here's a reminder of something.
00:18:53.040
I did not know at the time. Maybe, uh, do you remember there was a case of the DC madam
00:18:59.760
and that there was some famous, um, madam of many prostitutes in DC and she got picked up,
00:19:07.920
arrested. And you said to yourself, uh, Oh, all the big names of the big politicians who use prostitutes
00:19:14.640
are going to come out, you know, like, like the Epstein list came out.
00:19:20.240
Well, more recently, like the ditty list came out. Oh wait, the ditty list didn't come out.
00:19:26.960
Oh wait, the Epstein list didn't come out. Oh wait, the DC madam list was never released.
00:19:35.200
Well, but at least, at least, you know, there's this, uh, uh, that in Congress,
00:19:42.880
I think the house, there's a fund for paying out with sex, sexual claims. So at least we've seen
00:19:50.000
the list of all the sec. Oh, no, we haven't. We haven't. So there are at least four different
00:19:56.000
lists of sex offenders of high level people that we know for sure exist. And we'll never see them.

00:20:18.800
you're richer than you think. Now, here's something I don't remember happening in the news.
00:20:24.560
So give me a fact check. Um, did Alex Jones, what did the DC madam tell Alex Jones that she wasn't
00:20:34.400
suicidal and then soon after was found in a suicide? Is that a real thing that happened?
00:20:42.000
I don't remember how that situation resolved itself, if that's, if that's the right way to put it.
00:20:47.760
But is it true that the DC madam said in public to Alex Jones that she wasn't suicidal
00:20:55.440
and then committed suicide? Allegedly? Is that a real story? Or did somebody just some,
00:21:04.240
I'm seeing yeses in the comments. How did I not know that? Like I missed that entirely.
00:21:09.360
Wow. And did you know that people were trying to get the client list from that madam reveal,
00:21:17.040
uh, reversed or not reversed? People were trying to get it revealed, the client list. And, uh,
00:21:25.440
there was a judge who decided not to. So who was the name of the judge back in those days who blocked
00:21:32.400
the client list from being revealed? His name was, uh, Judge Merrick Garland. Have you heard of him?
00:21:38.720
He would be the current attorney general. And, uh, as Mike Ben says, who knows more about this stuff than
00:21:49.520
all of us put together, he says, uh, Garland is the mop up man. He's a career janitor on permanent
00:21:56.240
sweep duty for crimes of the intelligence state. Hmm. Huh. Now it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
00:22:04.880
If you were the, you know, allegedly some kind of deep state people and you wanted to make sure that
00:22:13.520
you didn't personally go to jail, what is the one job that you'd want to make sure you had your person
00:22:20.720
in? It'd be the attorney general, wouldn't it? You'd want to really, really make sure the attorney
00:22:26.960
general's on your side, no matter who the president is. It wouldn't matter who's, who's in office.
00:22:31.680
You'd really, really, really want to make sure the attorney general's not on the president's side,
00:22:39.760
you know, less by coincidence, but more on your side, whoever you are.
00:22:44.400
And I say that because, uh, Liz Harrington is talking about, uh, that in 2020, December, 2020,
00:22:52.840
a quote, irate Bill Barr called investigators looking into Jesse Morgan's claims of hundreds
00:22:58.760
of thousands of completed mail-in ballots hauled across state lines. And Bill Barr, um, told the
00:23:05.560
investigators to stand down and he was quite agitated. It is reported and told them to stand
00:23:13.400
down. Do you remember the reasons he gave for that? The reasons for standing down on what looked
00:23:18.840
like a very credible claim of massive election fraud. Do you remember the reasons?
00:23:27.560
I don't, I don't remember any reasons. And, you know, Liz doesn't mention any,
00:23:34.360
I don't remember seeing any in the news. Did he have reasons? What, why would you have reasons?
00:23:40.200
If the investigators thought that there was something that was reported by a, as far as they knew,
00:23:48.680
a credible citizen, and it was a report of the most major crime you can imagine. And then Bill
00:23:54.760
Barr was one of the ones who was, you know, quite certain that the election was fair. How could he
00:24:01.080
know that? There's one thing you can't know, whether the election was fair. But Bill Barr seemed to act
00:24:08.840
like he knew it. Don't you think Bill Barr would know? Because he's been around everything and he's
00:24:14.280
smart. Wouldn't he know that it is unknowable if somebody cheated and got away with it? The only
00:24:21.480
thing you'd know is that you didn't have proof from some court or something that maybe you believed. But
00:24:29.640
you can't know the election was good. That's not a thing. You can only know you didn't find anything.
00:24:35.400
So here's my question. Are all the attorney generals sort of deep state people and it wouldn't matter
00:24:49.160
who the president was? I kind of wonder. Maybe that's the one thing you have to control and then
00:24:56.520
everything else takes care of itself. I don't know. Let's talk about the propagandists, the propaganda
00:25:04.760
network, MSNBC. They like to bring in these crazy generals. So the anti-Trump people like to bring in
00:25:14.600
generals. The generals they bring in are the least impressive generals I've ever seen. If the only
00:25:20.680
thing I knew about the American military was the generals that go on TV and say things about Trump,
00:25:26.680
I would immediately attack the United States. After seeing like three or four of our best generals,
00:25:33.160
I don't know if they're the best, but see, if you see three or four of our generals go on TV
00:25:37.800
and talk about how Trump is a fascist, I would just say, oh my God, they don't have any leadership
00:25:43.880
there. Attack now. They all look incompetent. So MSNBC propaganda network has this retired major
00:25:51.080
general, Randy Manor. And he says, quote, you tell me if this sounds like a reasoned, tactical,
00:25:59.400
strategic, brilliant general, or in this case, a major general. Quote, President Trump is demonstrating
00:26:07.800
the attributes of fascism every single day. And every American that is supporting Trump right now
00:26:13.960
needs to understand that they are absolutely supporting fascism if they vote for Trump.
00:26:20.360
And of course, there were lots of reasons to back up that opinion, right?
00:26:28.360
He just looked crazy as shit. You just have to look at the major general, just look at his eyes,
00:26:34.280
look at his face. And if he doesn't look crazy, maybe it's just bias. But I mean, they just don't look
00:26:41.400
like they're playing on the same wavelength as other people. They just look like, oh my God,
00:26:48.200
you were in charge of people? Like, how could this person have been in charge of sending people into
00:26:55.320
battle? My God. Anyway. And then Joe Scarborough said, quote, talking about Trump, he says,
00:27:09.320
he thinks fear, he thinks loathing, he thinks darkness wins. How do you combat that? You combat
00:27:15.960
it with being defiant, but being joyful. Talking about Harris. She seemed to strike that tone last
00:27:22.520
night very well. Talking about Harris's rally in North Carolina. Yeah. So according to Joe Scarborough,
00:27:29.480
if you want to beat fear, loathing, and darkness, you should do it with joyfulness.
00:27:34.360
Well, I'd like to give a little persuasion lesson to you. Persuasion lesson number one.
00:27:43.080
Nothing that Joe Scarborough says is worth listening to. That's number one. Number two,
00:27:52.280
fear beats everything. Joyful doesn't be fear. No, fear beats joyful 100% of the time.
00:28:00.680
That's not even a fair fight. Joyful can be boring. Joyful could be, you know, somebody who's less
00:28:12.280
capable. Joyful could be somebody who has maybe better, a little bit better policies. So joyful is
00:28:20.520
not empty. Joyful can motivate, but not against fear.
00:28:29.320
So imagine you're, you know, there's a knock on the door and you think it's the Venezuelan gang coming
00:28:33.880
to get you. What are you going to do? Are you going to ramp up your joyfulness?
00:28:42.120
Well, it looks like I might be killed by the people on the other side of that door that they're knocking
00:28:47.960
hard trying to knock it down. It looks like they're all armed, as I point out, if I look out the window.
00:28:53.720
But if we ramp up the joy, I think we can counteract this. No, no. Joyfulness is not a response to fear.
00:29:02.680
Fear wins every time. Every time. So that's your persuasion lesson.
00:29:11.800
And it's also the reason that the, and keep in mind, Morning Joe just had a major general on
00:29:20.040
to scare Americans into thinking that Trump was the scariest fascist alive. And then the very next
00:29:27.800
opinion is, well, you know, joyfulness beats fear on the same network, same morning, the propaganda
00:29:35.800
network. It's so funny. But here's something you don't hear about on the news. And it takes people
00:29:41.800
like me to really point it out. Let's see if this works. So here's a picture. You can't see it, but it's
00:29:48.760
a picture of young Joe Scarborough. And I think I understand why he doesn't shave his head. Because
00:29:58.120
if he did, he would look exactly like one of those gray aliens that we keep thinking are kidnapping
00:30:03.880
people. Now, if you're only listening to this, you are not seeing the hilarious side-by-side pictures
00:30:10.120
of an alien and young Joe Scarborough. But trust me, you'd be laughing so hard right now.
00:30:18.840
All right, let me get back to where I need to be. Back on me, where we belong. Speaking of propaganda,
00:30:26.760
the headline in the Washington Post is, quote, Trump urges using military to handle
00:30:33.080
radical left lunatics on election day. You think that happened? It's in the Washington Post.
00:30:40.120
It's a paper of record. It's one of the newsmaking papers, one of the most respected institutions
00:30:45.560
in all of America. So do you think it's true that Trump urged using military to handle the
00:30:51.720
radical left lunatics? Of course not. Of course not. Did he say, quote,
00:31:00.120
quote, that if there were any trouble around election day, did he say, quote,
00:31:05.480
it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary,
00:31:11.720
by the military, because they can't let that happen? Does that sound like urging to use the
00:31:18.280
military against the radical left? Or does it sound like if it's a last resort, we can't have the
00:31:25.240
country torn apart. So you might have to do what you got to do.
00:31:31.720
I see Mike Burke coming in from the locals. Looks like we have a success. That only makes sense to
00:31:39.560
the people on locals. Yeah. So Trump saying that in the worst case scenario, you would have to do the
00:31:48.680
thing that nobody wants to do, which is use the military, which to me sounds like a normal person
00:31:54.680
talking in a normal way. Washington Post says he's urging the military to take care of these
00:32:02.040
radical left lunatics. No, that's not exactly what happened. It was sort of a last, last resort kind of
00:32:09.400
thing. Ontario, the wait is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived. Golden Nugget Online

00:33:11.140
Did you know that Time Magazine is currently owned by, at least in part, by Mark Benioff,
00:33:17.800
the billionaire owner of and creator of Salesforce? And so that means it's left-leaning because Benioff is
00:33:25.620
a big Democrat supporter. But even he is not too happy that Kamala Harris refused an interview in
00:33:33.500
Time Magazine. And he said, quote, Harris declined repeated requests for an interview for this story.
00:33:40.040
So Time Magazine did a big feature story about Harris without getting to talk to her.
00:33:45.060
Now, Time Magazine isn't what it used to be. You know, it used to be one of the most respected news
00:33:50.560
entities. At the moment, it's a, it's a hollowed out, you know, gawker, Huffington Post kind of
00:33:56.920
situation. So it's not really what it used to be. But still, she, she did not do it. And then
00:34:02.900
Benioff says, in contrast, Trump talked about his policy vision with a Time reporter for 90 minutes
00:34:08.740
across two interviews. Okay, that is an unambiguous statement that said Trump is a better politician
00:34:16.500
in this specific regard than Harris. That's really clear. You know, I got to tell you that I think I
00:34:26.040
may have told you this story. I used to do a lot of public speaking. And I've only had one person who
00:34:33.700
hired me for public speaking, tell me that I did a bad job after I was done. It was Mark Benioff.
00:34:41.160
And by the way, he wasn't wrong. He wasn't wrong at all. Because I wasn't doing speaking when when
00:34:47.040
the request came in. And so I slapped something together. Because they they're, I guess their
00:34:52.000
speaker canceled. So the speaker, the speakers bureau said, Oh, we got to find somebody who can drive
00:34:58.420
there. Because, you know, it's too late to travel. And I live locally. So they said, you know, would
00:35:04.820
you do something on short notice? And I was like, Oh, I really don't want to, but they're going to pay
00:35:10.320
you a lot of money. I was like, Oh, how much? And they said this much. And I said, Really? And I said,
00:35:15.760
I'll be right there. So I hung out, hung out with Benioff before the event. And I have to say,
00:35:23.620
he's one of the most impressive people in person you'll ever meet. You know, sometimes you meet a
00:35:30.700
rich person, and you say, How did you get rich? It must have been luck. But you talk to Benioff,
00:35:36.160
he'd go, Oh, okay, I get it. I see how you got rich. Yeah, yeah, his philosophy, his whole mannerism,
00:35:42.180
his charisma, his intelligence, the whole thing is there. Like he's missing nothing. But one of the
00:35:48.400
things that he can do is he can, you know, invite me in to give a talk and then tell me it was bad
00:35:53.640
after it was done. And, and the thing was, he wasn't wrong. That's what I appreciated. It was the
00:36:01.340
worst, maybe, maybe the worst presentation I'd done since I started doing it years before that.
00:36:08.140
So he wasn't wrong. And here he is, you know, he's very clearly a Democrat, but his person who's on his
00:36:16.180
side, Harris, fucked up. She said no to Time Magazine for a big feature piece. And so he's
00:36:24.720
just saying, Okay, in public, you're, you're no, you're no Donald Trump. So the first thing you have
00:36:31.020
to know about Benioff is that he's the real deal. If you do something good, he'll say so if you do
00:36:39.140
something bad, he'll say so with the same level of candor. So I mean, it's not an accident that he's
00:36:45.620
a billionaire, not an accident. Anyway, J.D. Vance was talking to ABC's Martha Raddatz. And he is so
00:37:00.980
good at this. J.D. Vance is a really good pick, because he, he just really dominates the interview
00:37:08.240
situation. And that's not, it's not common, not everybody can do that. But so apparently,
00:37:14.420
the mayor of Aurora, Colorado was saying that the, the issue with the Venezuelan gangs was real. But it
00:37:23.400
was a handful of problems, and that they were all handled. So there wasn't a real problem that needed
00:37:30.100
to be addressed at a national level. There were some problems, they took care of it, we're all good
00:37:35.380
now. Now, Trump had been saying something closer to, you know, the gangs were taking over the city of
00:37:42.020
Aurora, and the mayor was disagreeing. So Martha, so Raddatz was taking the mayor's, I won't say she
00:37:52.360
took his side, although she did, but she was quoting him to say that Trump was exaggerating the thing.
00:38:00.980
Now, here's what J.D. did, which was a very clever reframe. No, that's too nice. It was a weaselly
00:38:13.340
thing he did, but he did it so well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna point it out. So Raddatz says, it's only a
00:38:19.820
handful of problems. So she's quoting the mayor, there were only a handful of problems. But the issue was,
00:38:26.820
were there apartment complexes, in which the gangs had basically taken control of the apartment
00:38:32.560
buildings. Now, when you hear the phrase from the mayor, that there were a handful of problems, does that
00:38:41.420
tell you that there were a handful of apartments taken over by gangs? Or were there a handful of problems, and it
00:38:48.540
wasn't, wasn't that they took over the whole building, but they might have been in the building, and they might have
00:38:53.740
been a problem, and then they took care of it. What do you hear? When I hear there were a handful
00:38:59.640
of problems, I don't hear they took over a handful of apartment buildings. Now, again, I wasn't there.
00:39:07.280
Maybe they did take over a handful of apartment buildings, and I don't know it. But that's not what
00:39:11.720
the statement was. It was a handful of problems. But J.D. says, and very cleverly goes, he said,
00:39:20.940
a handful of apartments. So he changed a handful of problems into, well, you know, you're saying it's
00:39:27.060
not a problem that a handful of apartments were taken over by Venezuelan gangs. And then he accused
00:39:33.800
her of nitpicking versus acknowledging that apartment takeovers by South American gangs is
00:39:39.260
something you should worry about. Really well done. Really well done. You know, if I'm going to be
00:39:47.940
honest about it, he did, he did a little bit of a magic trick there by changing a handful of problems
00:39:55.440
into a handful of apartment buildings. It's not the same. But in doing so, he pressed his point perfectly.
00:40:03.180
The point is, you shouldn't take this lightly, even if the mayor is. Like, it's still a big enough
00:40:11.260
deal that this is worthy of conversation. And it is. So just watching him handle that situation,
00:40:19.180
and then Raditz had to, at the end, put in her last little fact check. You know, she goes,
00:40:24.300
but they did not take over the city. Now, even J.D., I think he admitted during the interview
00:40:30.680
that there was some hyperbole involved in saying taking over the city. So Vance was not going to
00:40:37.160
support the point that they took over a city. He just said that was hyperbole. But, you know,
00:40:42.340
we're talking about some apartment buildings, and that's pretty big. If it's true. So great job
00:40:50.980
in handling the media there. Did you know that Democrats are going crazy about Elon Musk and not
00:40:58.720
in a good way? So a number of people are asking, thinking he should go to jail. I don't even know
00:41:04.640
for what. What would be the crime? So Hillary Clinton has said that Musk maybe needs to go to jail.
00:41:12.520
Hillary Clinton. Silicon Valley investor Robert McNamee called for Musk's arrest and said that it should
00:41:22.200
be a condition for getting government contracts should require him to moderate his speech.
00:41:27.480
So for the fact that his speech is not moderated, maybe he should go to jail or not get government
00:41:33.860
contracts. Robert Reich, the former Clinton Secretary of State, said Musk should be arrested for refusing
00:41:41.980
to censor other people. So he's not doing enough censorship on the X platform, so he should be arrested,
00:41:48.680
according to Robert Reich. And then Keith Olbermann, of course, batshit crazy Keith,
00:41:55.020
called for Musk to be deported. And all the federal contracts with his company is canceled.
00:42:04.140
Olbermann. The Democrats are crazy as shit. I mean, they're just batshit crazy. They can't even come up
00:42:13.380
with a crime. They're asking to jail the guy after he just did the greatest technical week of
00:42:22.460
innovation that anybody's ever done in the history of the United States. And all for the benefit of
00:42:28.360
humankind. And these assholes want to put him in jail. It's so pathetic. The Democrats have just
00:42:37.760
become completely pathetic. Anyway. Kamala Harris has a new racist plan. So she's not hiding anymore.
00:42:48.480
She's going full racist. And it involves providing... So it's a plan to get black voters on her side.
00:42:56.660
So it's a bunch of economic things targeted primarily at black voters. So she wants to give a million loans,
00:43:05.060
forgivable loans up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs, and, quote, others who have
00:43:10.820
historically faced barriers. So in other words, not white men. So she wants to give... So if you're
00:43:17.200
poor and you're a white man, fuck you. You're a poor white man. Fuck you. Go die in the gutter
00:43:24.840
somewhere. Because the racist Kamala Harris has some good plans for people who are just as poor as you,
00:43:32.180
but they happen to have different colors. So she'll help them. But not you, you whitey. Go die in the gutter,
00:43:41.620
says the racist. And she would... Let's see. What else she would do? She would have a national health equity
00:43:49.900
initiative that would aim to address sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other
00:43:55.380
health challenges that disproportionately impact black men. That one's good. That if there's one place
00:44:03.320
you should have equity, you should definitely have equity when it comes to health care. That's one
00:44:11.180
place where I'm all in. I'm all in on that. If black Americans have special, you know, some health care
00:44:18.580
risks in some categories. Yes. Yes. Go do that. So that's fair. Now, is it racist? Yes, but in a good
00:44:27.960
way. Is that a thing? Because, you know, the world is complicated. It's not like racism all bad,
00:44:37.780
racism all good. That's not true. This is purely racist because, you know, white people don't have
00:44:43.920
sickle cell and some of these special health impacts. But yeah, let's treat every patient
00:44:53.680
like they're unique. And if you can know something about them because of their genetic background,
00:44:58.700
that's part of what makes them unique. And let's get everybody some help. Absolutely. Totally on board
00:45:04.260
with that one. So that would be a case where in my... Because nobody's left behind, right? They're not
00:45:10.700
saying that if you're a white person, they're not going to check your prostate. If they decided
00:45:15.600
we're not going to check your prostate, if you're poor and you're white, I'm out. Just to be clear,
00:45:21.360
I'm not going to go to that level of racism. But if you want to make sure that people who are
00:45:26.720
different individuals with different situations are also treated as best they can, yes, full equity.
00:45:33.680
Give me all the equity you got. But how about this one? Legalizing recreational marijuana nationally
00:45:44.980
and creating opportunities for black Americans to succeed in the industry. Hmm. I know a white
00:45:53.000
American who once tried to open a weed business in California. And there were lots of obstacles
00:46:00.280
because it's actually a really hard business to get started. And he couldn't, he couldn't make it
00:46:06.000
through the red tape and the bureaucracy and the approvals and all that stuff. What's wrong with that
00:46:12.400
guy? Well, why can't he have a weed business? But if he were black, if he were black, he'd be in the weed
00:46:20.040
business. And that's fair how? Nope. Nope. You can go fix all the sickle cell anemia.
00:46:30.260
Please, please do. But no, this is just fucking racist. Everybody who is poor should have a shot
00:46:39.320
at everything that's better than being poor. No, this is just fucking racist.
00:46:45.980
Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament. I've been visualizing my match all week.
00:46:50.820
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:46:55.760
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the
00:47:01.860
country. Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
00:47:07.000
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round. But you got there on time.
00:47:12.340
Intact Insurance, your auto service ace. Certain conditions apply.
00:47:15.820
How about this one? Harris would provide education, training and mentorship programs to help black men
00:47:22.980
get jobs in high demand industries. But she would target specifically teaching jobs.
00:47:28.180
What, there are no white men who could use a little mentoring and help to get a teaching job?
00:47:36.460
And why do you want to specifically target one group for one profession?
00:47:42.600
Why can't just everybody who needs a help get a little help?
00:47:45.960
This is purely racist. Purely racist. Now I will, but I'll make one small shift to this.
00:47:55.800
I do think that one of the biggest, I guess, systemic racism problems that I recognize besides
00:48:03.460
the school system is mentorship. Mentorship is a really big deal. If you happen to be lucky enough
00:48:12.300
to know a bunch of rich people, let's say your parents are doing well and they know other rich
00:48:16.500
people, that's a huge, huge advantage because you can get advice and you can get, you know,
00:48:24.040
connections and stuff. So if you could fix mentorship for the underserved people in the world, as long
00:48:30.880
as you're doing it for everybody, that would really be a big, that would be a really big bite out of
00:48:36.280
what I would agree is systemic racism. So for that, I'm all in. On mentorship, I think everybody
00:48:45.660
should get more. It's a fact that black Americans have less access. So a little extra effort.
00:48:53.120
I think that would be fair. But if you're, you know, spending money on things that everybody needs
00:49:02.320
and you're only allowing one group of people to get it, not so good, not so good. The thing about
00:49:08.580
mentorship is it doesn't cost anything. All right. One of the weird things I've told you a number of
00:49:14.600
times is that although I got canceled, I have and continue to mentor black individuals just because
00:49:24.040
they asked. It turns out the asking is a really good strategy. Who teaches this? There's somebody
00:49:33.040
very famous who recently has made a big deal about the fact that just asking, if you can learn to ask
00:49:41.360
knowing that you'll get turned down for a lot of stuff, you're going to get a lot of stuff.
00:49:45.640
So when somebody asks me for some kind of mentorship or advice or a connection or something,
00:49:52.840
I don't ask them their color. I don't ask them their politics. I don't say who you don't like
00:50:01.420
for president. I just say, you have something that you need. I have the answer to that question.
00:50:08.660
Why wouldn't I give it to you? Why wouldn't I? Of course I will. So when it comes to mentorship,
00:50:17.080
most of it should be free. And it's a gigantic disadvantage when you don't have it, white or
00:50:22.760
black. So I'm pretty liberal in giving it. So I'll give this advice. If you're black and you're
00:50:29.740
under mentored, it's probably the case. You should really just try asking some white people and some
00:50:36.080
brown people who have succeeded and some women who have succeeded. You're going to be amazed.
00:50:41.120
You're just going to be amazed how willing people are to help you out on an individual basis.
00:50:46.780
But if you go to somebody and say, can you do something for all the people who look like me?
00:50:52.480
Good luck. I'm not in on that at all. Not at all. But if you individually have something, sure.
00:51:06.080
Kamala's brain. So I'm just going to read this because I love his writing. So this is a Trump
00:51:13.440
posting on truth. He said, quote, I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on
00:51:19.000
cognitive stamina and agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something
00:51:25.240
very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes on CBS in order to protect Lion Kamala illegally and
00:51:33.440
unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally bonkers with another answer that
00:51:39.860
had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic
00:51:44.260
in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that.
00:51:50.820
We shouldn't have to do it again. Oh, this is brilliant. It's brilliant. Now,
00:51:58.180
will she take a cognitive test? Of course not. Of course not. Will they fight back and say,
00:52:06.300
you're the one who's too old and should take a cognitive test? Of course they will.
00:52:10.820
But I love that he's injecting it into the conversation and saying that the evidence is clear
00:52:17.100
that she's got a cognitive deficit. Now, wasn't it, I need a fact check on this.
00:52:24.360
Did Harmeet Dillon say on Tucker Carlson that she remembers Kamala Harris from long ago
00:52:31.040
and that Kamala Harris didn't used to be stupid? Did that actually happen or did I imagine that?
00:52:38.240
Can you give me a fact check? So it would have been the Tucker Carlson conversation with Harmeet,
00:52:43.140
but I thought I saw like just a clip or a reference to it. So give me a fact check. I'm not sure of that.
00:52:49.880
But the funny thing is that I had that same experience.
00:52:55.040
Meaning that, let's say, I don't know, eight or 10 years ago, when I would see Kamala Harris in public,
00:53:02.460
like as a senator, I would say to myself, pretty good. Pretty good. Handled herself well.
00:53:08.420
And then I would see her at a hearing or something, and she'd be one of the attack dogs that the Democrats like.
00:53:15.220
And I'd say to myself, oh, you did some good questions there. You look tough, smart.
00:53:20.400
But then she runs for president, and she kind of looks like an idiot.
00:53:25.400
And I've been racking my brains and trying to figure out, was it me?
00:53:31.620
Was it me who just was fooled, but she's always been a moron? Or did something actually change?
00:53:39.900
Now, Trump is suggesting, by asking the question and asking for a cognitive test,
00:53:45.060
he's suggesting that something might have changed. And I'm on that page.
00:53:49.220
It could be substance abuse, which is what it looks like.
00:53:55.260
But it also looks like just some kind of cognitive decline.
00:54:01.640
And I mean that seriously. I don't mean that as, oh, say anything to make your candidate win.
00:54:08.020
And, you know, I'm pro-Trump. And I always say that whoever's against Trump has cognitive problems.
00:54:12.840
I don't. And I remind you, Joe Biden certainly had cognitive problems,
00:54:21.080
which I called out four years ago and was completely right.
00:54:28.580
Hillary Clinton has no cognitive problems whatsoever.
00:54:36.880
Not once did I suggest she had any kind of, you know, dementia.
00:54:54.220
And I'm one of the ones who caught it as early as you could possibly catch it.
00:55:06.680
I would love to know if she used to be smart and isn't.
00:55:17.680
Because remember, I can't rule out the possibility it's me.
00:55:20.840
It could be that I'm so deeply biased or maybe she was always dumb,
00:55:25.780
but she acted better back then because she had some notes or something.
00:55:33.980
So we all watched her try to run for president the first time,
00:55:37.620
where she was the first one that got kicked out of the primary.
00:55:45.060
Was that just the California machine put her in office
00:55:56.900
But I love the fact that Trump is injecting that idea into our conversation.
00:56:06.840
that there's something I called an October surprise coming,
00:56:10.740
and I told you that I had some knowledge of it coming?
00:56:13.760
Well, today's the day I'm going to tell you what it is.
00:56:22.420
The polls were going to change in the middle of October,
00:56:27.380
because nothing would happen that would make the polls change.
00:56:30.940
All it's going to be is a rethinking of who the likely voters are,
00:56:35.380
and once that's rejiggered, which is what's happening now,
00:56:39.160
it's going to make Harris look less competitive.
00:56:45.440
and it's going to change the conversation totally.
00:57:15.980
You would say, oh, those are the two friendliest networks
00:57:25.700
ABC is the last debate that people think was fixed.
00:57:32.200
So ABC News, the poll before this most recent one,
00:57:44.300
Does anybody believe that Harris was up by six last week?
00:57:53.500
Well, they just revised it, and now she's up by two,
00:58:24.140
Do you believe that Harris was up five last week?
00:59:00.760
everybody would be a little biased toward Harris.
00:59:06.480
And it would make it look like it's a close race
00:59:13.360
that those poll numbers were maybe a little artificial
00:59:20.780
they knew they were going to close toward the election day.
00:59:42.360
Then you need, here's the second part that I predicted.
00:59:48.480
You're going to need a couple of very pro-Harris polls
01:00:44.820
It's just they're adjusting it closer to reality
01:01:00.320
I mean, she wasn't the candidate six months ago.
