Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2638 CWSA 10⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.000 so we're gonna have a show oh my goodness oh my goodness is it gonna be

00:00:05.280 good you can't wait let me get my comments all working it'll be the show

00:00:11.880 of shows like nothing you've ever seen before if I can find the comments here

00:00:21.060 we go good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human

00:00:37.800 civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a

00:00:42.120 better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody

00:00:48.120 can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is

00:00:52.080 a cup or a mug or a glass a tankard shells a stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of

00:00:56.940 any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for

00:01:01.620 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes

00:01:04.800 everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go

00:01:11.220 oh my god so so good well I'd like to tell you a little bit about human minds

00:01:24.600 before we get into all the politics of it last night I was doing a live stream

00:01:29.640 with my subscribers on the locals platform that you can only see if you're a

00:01:35.100 subscriber at scottadams.locals.com and I needed my remote control for my TV

00:01:42.900 because I was gonna show them something really cool that was on my TV behind me

00:01:47.700 but I could not find my remote control which is very very unusual because I have

00:01:53.160 strict rules for remote controls number one this particular remote control was

00:02:00.480 touched by nobody but me because it was the man cave so there's nobody there but

00:02:05.540 me number two when I put a remote control down I only put it on a exposed clear

00:02:13.960 surface that's like the rule for all of my life you cannot put the you cannot put a

00:02:20.340 remote control on a couch because then it might fall in you know between the

00:02:25.560 cushions and stuff you cannot lay it on a let's say a pile of blankets

00:02:29.780 because then it might get covered up so what I knew about myself is that that

00:02:35.080 remote control was in a roughly 10 by 10 area roughly the the room around around my

00:02:43.300 desk right now so I knew for sure that it was on an exposed surface on the top of

00:02:50.920 something it was in full view and that it was within 10 feet and 300 people

00:02:59.780 watched me look for it for 40 minutes and not find it finally I did find it you know how I did it

00:03:10.020 I went and found a separate remote control from a different Apple TV one I don't use as much

00:03:16.740 and I said to myself well if I can't find the real one I'll at least reprogram this one to replace it

00:03:23.380 and so the process of reprogram it means you have to get close to the the TV box so it says you have

00:03:32.580 to be within three inches and you push certain buttons and stuff so I walk over there and I lean on the top of

00:03:39.060 my speaker and I look down and there it was it was the original remote it was on a flat surface

00:03:49.220 within 10 feet of me in full view now here's the interesting part uh I predicted to the people that

00:03:58.740 were watching me unable to find it that it would be on a flat surface within 10 feet in full view

00:04:06.260 and that I wouldn't be able to find it it was only because I was doing something that wasn't involved

00:04:12.500 in finding it that I accidentally encountered it now here's what you learn from this

00:04:20.740 your perceptions are guided entirely upon by your expectations your perception

00:04:29.220 is guided entirely by your expectations I have never once that I remember ever put my remote

00:04:38.420 control on top of that speaker that's next to the TV because I've never put it there before

00:04:46.180 my brain couldn't see it it was in full view it was never even a little bit covered up

00:04:52.820 it was not the same color as the speaker it had you know perfect contrast and it was within it was

00:05:00.100 actually within five feet of where I was sitting most of the time now this should not be a lesson

00:05:07.700 about how dumb I am I mean you could take it that way what this should be a lesson about is how everything

00:05:14.740 works this is how brains work in fact I predicted that it was in full view and that it was where it 0.92

00:05:22.260 shouldn't be and therefore it would be invisible to me and that's what happened it was invisible

00:05:28.580 because I didn't expect it to be there that is every perception you have your whole life

00:05:36.820 everything you see is based on what you expect it's not based on what's there sometimes your brain

00:05:45.540 corrects but not often usually you see what you expect to see so remember that when you get all

00:05:55.460 cocky about how your politics are right and everybody else is wrong and all your opinions about everything

00:06:00.820 are right and your perceptions are good and everybody else has bad ones nope nope we're all seeing what

00:06:06.340 we expect and that's pretty much 80 percent of the story all right here's some good news the golden age is upon us

00:06:15.220 says president trump and i say so say we all um here's some things science daily says that

00:06:24.820 they're getting close to being able to figure out how to grow food without sunlight

00:06:29.380 now also without light so it's not an artificial light but rather they're very close to being able to

00:06:37.780 send some kind of electrical impulse very slight into the plants and uh

00:06:46.340 essentially mimicking photosynthesis but doing with doing it with just a tiny tiny little bit of energy

00:06:53.220 energy now if you could actually master that and use just a few solar panels on top of an indoor garden

00:07:04.100 um you're going to reduce your your energy costs and most of your problems by you know 90 99 so if this works

00:07:15.940 it would revolutionize gardening to the point where you'd probably just every everybody would have a garden

00:07:20.980 it would be so much more efficient to just pack the plants in a little closet and send them a little

00:07:27.620 electricity in the dark and then go pick your tomatoes when you're ready so there could be a gigantic

00:07:34.740 a gigantic potential change in farming so you know a civilization altering technology or not

00:07:43.060 you know maybe they'll never get it to work but i'm going to go full gold full gold full golden age

00:07:52.020 today you need some optimism today anybody want any optimism full golden age i told you before that

00:08:02.180 there's some work being done on electric motors to create what they call an electrostatic motor or

00:08:07.940 something that ben franklin had been playing with years ago uh if they make this work and it's looking promising

00:08:15.220 uh it would make electric electric motors 80 percent more efficient

00:08:21.060 do you see where we're going with all this 80 percent more efficient electric engines they'll be the drivers of the robots

00:08:29.460 the drivers of the electric cars the drivers of most things could go down to 80 so if our food goes down

00:08:39.540 to you know maybe 10 of the production cost and our motors go down to 20 of the production cost what else

00:08:47.300 could be happening in the golden age well according to maddie chapman and ifl science there's some new material

00:08:54.260 they've created um i don't know what it's called but just some physical material that uh

00:09:01.460 if it comes in contact with co2 it just absorbs the hell out of it like nothing ever absorbed before

00:09:09.300 so they don't have to suck the co2 out of the air if they wanted to reduce it 1.00

00:09:14.740 they could just put it in contact at the point of production let's say in a smokestack wherever the co2 is

00:09:20.900 being produced they could just put some of this material and it just sucks it out of the air

00:09:26.660 without any work whatsoever it just has to come in contact with it and it does it so well it's not

00:09:33.140 like anything that's ever happened before now may i call upon the npcs i would like to give you some time

00:09:41.940 as tradition requires when the topic of removing co2 from the atmosphere is raised

00:09:48.660 you must if you are an npc say but but that's my plant food you can't take my plant food out of the

00:09:56.980 air stop taking my plant food so i'd like to give you a moment i know you can't resist

00:10:04.740 uh plant food anybody npcs yeah okay good we all know that that would uh destroy the planet if you

00:10:13.140 remove too much co2 from the air now i'm not in favor of or opposed to removing co2 from the air

00:10:22.740 i don't really know if it makes any difference at all i have no idea so i don't have an opinion on it

00:10:28.180 i do know it's expensive so suppose the only thing that happened was they decided that if you needed

00:10:35.700 to remove it from the air they could do it a hundred times cheaper well that would be good you don't need

00:10:43.220 to be throwing all this money at crazy climate change things and then you can decide later if you

00:10:49.140 remove too much co2 and the plants are dying because i'm pretty sure that adding co2 would not be nearly

00:10:54.980 the problem as removing it so i'm not really too worried we'll remove too much it seems far more likely

00:11:02.980 we you know that it won't make any difference that would be my my best guess is that co2 is not making 0.99

00:11:08.900 much of a difference uh in other science popular mechanics says that uh fungi you know mushroom type

00:11:17.380 things they have some kind of an intelligence and that they communicate across their broad network of

00:11:25.140 fungi fungi fungi whatever they are and they uh tested it and they apparently they're they communicate and

00:11:33.700 and so your fungi acts like a big brain it's got some kind of intelligence and can communicate with

00:11:41.780 other things in its network to tell it what to do to avoid trouble etc now the interesting thing about

00:11:49.220 this is that not only can the fungi think but uh 25 of them have already um signed up to support

00:11:57.860 kamala harris 25 75 of them pro-trump but 25 of the fungi very solidly supporting kamala harris

00:12:11.780 well i'd like to give an update on what i call the pathetic campaign of kamala harris now in my opinion

00:12:18.900 she is the worst candidate for any office of any time in my life i've never seen anything like it 1.00

00:12:24.500 yeah it's really extraordinary how bad she is and uh an account on x called bad hombre

00:12:33.460 has a good summary you probably are aware that a whole bunch of october surprise hoaxes dropped

00:12:39.860 yesterday uh they were all sort of anti-trump hoaxes but uh it didn't go as i hoped apparently the public

00:12:49.060 is now on what we've wised up to october surprises so that everybody just shrugs and go oh that's not

00:12:55.780 true right here's here's a uh summary by bad hombre total meltdown tonight at the harris waltz campaign

00:13:05.540 here are the bullet points the hitler hoax didn't gain any traction uh they've already overplayed that

00:13:10.980 hand we'll talk about that that's the john kelly hitler hoax uh the effing mexican hoax uh that's

00:13:19.780 that's where trump is allegedly offered to pay for the funeral of uh i forget who was somebody who

00:13:28.100 was murdered uh of a murdered soldier and that uh when the price tag came back too much

00:13:35.220 uh i think this was in the propaganda network uh called the atlantic it's a propaganda publication

00:13:42.260 and allegedly trump said uh that that was too much to spend uh burying a effing mexican 0.99

00:13:51.540 now obviously he didn't say that the the the hoaxes are just so insanely absurdly stupid 0.98

00:13:58.660 that that that we're just ignoring them then there was uh somebody has a 32 year old claim that trump 0.99

00:14:07.060 grabbed her butt nobody cares uh the wall street journal because we don't believe it of course 0.82

00:14:15.700 uh a new wall street journal poll says harris is losing the popular vote now if you're losing the 0.99

00:14:22.660 popular vote and you're democrat you're going to get smashed in the electoral college so that's a

00:14:28.100 landslide so the polling is strongly suggesting that the trump landslide at this point and uh and then

00:14:35.780 harris completely bombed the uh cnn town hall which should have been a friendly but she couldn't 1.00

00:14:41.860 even handle the friendly she just fell apart so we'll talk about a little bit those things in

00:14:48.660 general but here's here's the big picture i feel like the public has matured in their understanding

00:14:59.620 of the media landscape in 2015 if these things if these hoaxes had landed the media would treat

00:15:07.300 them all like they're true and then voters would wonder and all that but at this point i think

00:15:14.260 zero republicans think these are true is that fair would you say that there's not a single republican

00:15:20.900 who thinks any one of these is true i i think that's fair to say but also democrats don't even think it's

00:15:27.460 true which is what's different we'll talk about that in more detail all right so uh jeffrey goldberg

00:15:36.820 at the atlantic he's the most famous maybe the most famous propagandist so if you see his name

00:15:43.940 or you see the atlantic that's not news people that's not bias that is just purely made up stuff

00:15:52.820 so once you know what's purely made up allegedly allegedly it's allegedly purely made up

00:16:00.820 all right um so so most of those uh rumors came from that or from uh general kelly who we have many

00:16:11.140 questions about so i i don't really think it's worth talking about the rumors because they're so absurd

00:16:17.700 and stupid and people are onto it so they're discounting it but uh let's talk about uh act blue 0.70

00:16:24.740 here's something fun so uh speaker johnson is pointing out that there's now a website 0.99

00:16:32.740 where you can go to to find out if act blue which is this big money laundering organization

00:16:39.620 that supports democrats so they pretend that it's a place where individuals are making small

00:16:45.860 contributions and then they get summed up and you know used for democrat purposes but indeed it seems like

00:16:52.420 it's more likely that it's more likely that it's a place where rich people give large amounts and then

00:16:58.100 they artificially pretend it came from individuals which means there's lists of people who uh are

00:17:05.860 allegedly donating to active blue who don't have any idea that they've donated because they didn't

00:17:12.900 but there's a website called checkmydonations.org which when i checked it this morning was under attack

00:17:23.380 you couldn't get close to it it was like blinking on the screen so i assume it wasn't just a

00:17:30.180 technical error with the site it looks like it's a denial of service attack so what would you do if

00:17:37.220 you're the democrats and you got caught red-handed and there's a website where everybody who's been

00:17:43.460 taken by the same scam can go look up their name and presumably thousands of people will say hey

00:17:50.980 you use my name and this isn't me well the only way you could protect yourself if you're part of this

00:17:56.340 democrat scam is to attack that website and and take it out of service and that's what's happening

00:18:03.060 now i'm speculating because i've never seen a website that blinked have you ever seen that

00:18:12.100 a website that blinked i've seen them when they don't work or they give you an error but it's

00:18:18.100 literally blinking like you can't even enter anything so i think it's the denial of service attack

00:18:25.940 is that is that the most likely explanation because it's very unlikely that it was just

00:18:31.380 you know too many people went to use it and the traffic was too much i probably a denial of service

00:18:37.940 so i think that might be exactly what it looks like act blue is uh caught red-handed

00:18:43.220 ha ha ha or blue-handed in this case i think we should change it to being caught blue-handed

00:18:52.340 yeah you okay with that we're going to change the saying from being caught red-handed which might

00:18:57.940 have been racist by the way is that a racist thing we're going to change it to being caught blue-handed

00:19:05.540 um so that's happening um according to zero hedge wisconsin election agency is uh confirming that they

00:19:14.820 had a bunch of outages in their voting systems on the first day of early voting

00:19:20.020 um how could that be i i thought that all the machines were tested thoroughly but they seem to

00:19:33.060 be having some unexpected problems huh um but it's a good thing we're using the machines because

00:19:40.420 they're more reliable okay no they're not more reliable that's right but at least at least using

00:19:47.140 machines you can get the election results more quick okay well no you don't get the election

00:19:52.980 results more quickly but at least at least they're more credible and the public at least okay the public

00:20:01.300 doesn't trust them i'm sure there's a reason for them i'm positive there's a reason we have election

00:20:07.620 machines i just don't know what the reason is anybody anybody

00:21:24.340 i'm watching in the comments there's always somebody who thinks there's no audio but i can never tell if

00:21:30.180 they're trolls but the uh other commenters are are slapping them down no the audio is fine

00:21:39.540 anyway um

00:21:43.940 so harris gave her town hall and i think that even cnn said that she failed completely

00:21:51.140 um

00:21:55.380 this is what even dana dana bash said now as you know dana bash is considered a very pro-democrat pro harris

00:22:05.140 commentator now uh cnn as i've been saying lately seems to be legitimately trying to find something

00:22:13.140 closer to the middle but if they're still biased toward the democrats i think that's fine

00:22:18.580 as long as it's transparent isn't the same as fox news right fox news is going to like the republicans

00:22:25.140 but it's very transparent so as long as it's transparent i'm okay i i just don't like things

00:22:30.020 like the the atlantic or msnbc because those are pure propaganda those are not in the same category with

00:22:37.140 news you you should you need to you need to update your thinking about some of those sites those are not

00:22:43.860 biased news reports those are propaganda sites that's their only purpose but

00:22:51.380 let's uh do a check on cnn's independence here

00:22:55.540 so this is from uh cnn anchor dana bash after the harris complete destruction at the town hall

00:23:02.980 quote what i'm hearing from people who i've been talking to if her goal was to close the deal

00:23:07.620 they're not sure she did that um and this is dana bash immediately after the event and quote having

00:23:15.140 said that any time that she can be in front of an audience and interacting with voters is a win as

00:23:20.740 far as her campaign goes and they're very happy about that really so let me if i see if i understand

00:23:29.460 this she did so poorly that even cnn says it was a failure but then they quote her campaign is saying 0.96

00:23:38.820 that whenever she's in front of people it's a win this is the campaign that kept her away from people for

00:23:45.380 two days two weeks before the camp before the election day clearly every time she talks to the

00:23:53.780 public it's a disaster it's a disaster and this one was maybe the worst one yet so she was asked about the

00:24:04.420 wall she couldn't answer the question of whether she'd be in favor of the wall she refused to answer it 0.98

00:24:11.540 because even uh even anderson cooper was pushing her you used to say the wall was stupid you used to 0.99

00:24:18.420 say the wall was bad what do you say now oh word salad oh we need good security at the border 0.99

00:24:25.940 right right right but are you in favor of building wall oh we will i was born in the middle class family

00:24:36.660 no you right right right do you favor building the wall well let me tell you about some things that

00:24:47.540 have nothing to do with walls it it was the most embarrassing ridiculous complete destruction of a

00:24:54.820 candidate you've ever seen it was by far the worst thing you've ever seen what am i looking at

00:25:07.540 oh i'm i'm looking at the list of uh people named scott adams who've uh who have donated to act blue

00:25:16.900 so somebody put my name in and you want to see how many times i've donated to act blue

00:25:28.580 that's my name next to all the donations i've made to act blue

00:25:32.820 now i have a common name so it's probably not me but it might be it might be

00:25:41.700 because i'm uh i have been famous as a non-voter so if somebody was going to try to pick up all the

00:25:48.500 non-voters and make it seem as though they were supporting her i would be i would be an obvious one 0.94

00:25:55.780 that you would pick up as a non-voter not this year though suckers i'm voting this year 0.73

00:26:04.340 anyway so yes she was a terrible um anderson cooper also asked her if she thought that trump was a 0.97

00:26:12.980 fascist and of course she gave a speech saying that he was a fascist and she repeated all the the john 0.60

00:26:19.380 kelly hoaxes and the the atlantic hoaxes if there are two things you shouldn't believe it's anything 1.00

00:26:26.340 that one of trump's old generals ever said because all of his generals were morons and and maybe not 0.99

00:26:33.940 even patriots so everything trump said about his generals is looks obviously true they they don't even 1.00

00:26:40.580 seem like they're on the side of america the way they act um so yeah they're morons mostly and the 1.00

00:26:46.900 funny thing is that they act like morons on tv you know it's not like okay they look pretty good in 1.00

00:26:52.820 public but probably behind closed doors you know maybe they're not as smart no they look dumb in 1.00

00:26:58.820 public the generals look dumb in public and i've i've always been puzzled by that because i thought how 0.99

00:27:05.060 can they look so dumb in public if they're actually very smart you know how else do you become a general 0.99

00:27:10.900 well it turns out that being a general is a political appointment you can't become a general 0.99

00:27:17.460 unless the politicians like you it's not even about kind of your job as a military person

00:27:25.380 so that explains a lot i believe that the uh uh i don't know what the reason for john kelly being the

00:27:31.620 way he is but i don't think there's any chance he's telling the truth so that's just my opinion that i

00:27:38.820 i would say there's zero chance that anything he said it was true

00:27:43.700 but the girl who cried hitler was crying hitler again and the world finally caught on wait a minute 0.98

00:27:50.900 when when they're behind in the polls all they do is say hitler stuff it's pathetic it's weak and it could 0.99

00:27:58.740 get both candidates killed let me say that again the he's he's a fascist he's hitler stuff is 0.99

00:28:08.660 pathetic because we know we know the whole trick now like we know the whole play there was a time when 1.00

00:28:16.180 it worked so you say oh that's evil but i have to admit it's clever because it's working no it's not 0.99

00:28:23.380 working and it's not clever it's pathetic it's just pathetic and you know watching it is is just 0.99

00:28:35.460 incredible that that's all they have it's pathetic it's weak and it could get both candidates killed 1.00

00:28:42.740 now it could get trump killed as we've seen because painting him as a danger to the to the republic is 0.99

00:28:49.700 how you get somebody killed but i would go further and say it almost looks like they're trying to get

00:28:56.420 harris killed because you know nobody thinks that harris comes up with their own ideas so if she's

00:29:01.860 pushing the the hitler button hard in the last two weeks it's because somebody else told her to do that

00:29:07.380 whoever told her to push the hitler button hard is putting her in real danger because if trump gets taken out

00:29:15.700 i'm not going to finish the rest of the sentence

00:29:22.420 i don't have to do i whoever is telling harris to say this is putting her in mortal danger

00:29:27.940 like she's never been in this is the highest level of physical risk that kamala harris has ever

00:29:34.980 experienced i don't think she knows it i think she thinks that if trump gets taken out that they can just sell it

00:29:42.420 it's like well crazy guy isn't that terrible thanks for electing me i don't think it's going to go that

00:29:50.020 way i think that the reaction is unpredictable i certainly recommend against any violence do not do anything 0.99

00:30:00.180 violent please but i live in the real world if you shoot somebody in my family i'm going to kill you 0.98

00:30:08.740 right and most of you would say the same thing i'm going to kill you if you come after me or somebody 0.99

00:30:17.620 in my family there are people who feel that way about their politicians if if people think that the 0.94

00:30:25.060 democrats planned and executed a plan to take out trump i don't know what's going to happen you you get

00:30:33.300 into really unpredictable territory but i'll tell you the main thing that's going to happen

00:30:38.980 is that if kamala harris has not boosted her security details she needs to think about that right away 0.99

00:30:45.460 because the level of security risk she would be under if anything happened to trump would be beyond

00:30:51.380 anything we've ever seen it would be unparalleled so we don't want that to happen so the thing i'm most

00:31:00.660 worried about is that harris doesn't know how much trouble of her own side just put her in 0.98

00:31:05.700 they put her in a life and death situation and that's not cool see she's so dumb that she can't 1.00

00:31:13.460 even take good advice this is advice that's really putting her in danger anyway um i'd love to see her 0.98

00:31:22.660 define what fascist means in a way that doesn't include everything she supports because the democrats

00:31:28.660 are doing lawfare against an opponent fascists they're involved in foreign wars for reasons that

00:31:34.980 the public's having trouble understanding sounds a little fascist um they control the media fascists

00:31:41.780 they're punishing their political enemies fascists and you know we live in a full propaganda brainwashing

00:31:48.580 the atlantic msnbc world every part of that looks fascist to me

00:31:52.820 so what uh harris did is the most divisive thing that i think i've ever seen a politician do

00:32:03.380 but the fact that she can't identify a real fascist should be disqualifying

00:32:10.660 should be disqualifying now here's my provocative question i would last like to ask all of you

00:32:16.340 uh but mostly this is a curiosity about democrats

00:32:24.260 bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:32:28.820 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:32:35.620 think how do democrats explain the existence of smart well-informed trump supporters

00:32:43.300 do you ever think about that now during 2015 2016 if you're a democrat you could say well look who's

00:32:52.820 supporting him there's this guy named sternovich we never heard of there's this cartoonist who cares

00:32:58.980 what a cartoonist thinks of there's there's bannon oh he's a wild man there's there's a alex jones

00:33:05.780 well you know we've heard about him so it seemed as though when trump ran the first time and maybe even

00:33:12.660 to some extent the second time that if you were a democrat you could explain your own opinion

00:33:20.180 in the context of everybody else's opinion because you could say huh all my smart friends agree with me

00:33:26.660 uh it looks like most of the news agrees with me except that fox news and that bright bar

00:33:31.460 they're you know nobody pays attention to them of course so yes my my opinion against trump makes

00:33:38.180 perfect sense my friends agree the media agrees and the people on trump's side are all weirdos

00:33:46.340 time passes trump has a what republicans would call a very successful first term

00:33:54.180 and now his supporters include elon musk bill ackman uh david sacks uh vaik ramaswamy rfk jr

00:34:02.980 tulsi gabbard i could go on but what do all those people have in common you know what do they all have in common

00:34:11.060 they're very well informed they're clearly very patriotic americans and they're very very smart

00:34:19.540 so now what do you do because if you're a democrat you have to explain these people

00:34:27.380 it's one thing to explain trump you just say well he's a terrible monster and you know all the races 0.86

00:34:33.060 support him but what about these guys not all guys but what about the group of this list and you know

00:34:39.940 it's a much longer list but how do you explain them what what exactly are you telling yourself

00:34:48.180 to make it okay that you're on the other side of the smartest people in the world

00:34:53.060 who are looking at the same stuff you're looking at how do you explain that

00:35:00.420 um do democrats uh just imagine that these people that most people would say are brilliant and 0.99

00:35:07.300 successful and well-informed do they tell themselves that these people are actually dumb 0.77

00:35:11.940 are there democrats who say it's a good thing i'm smarter than elon musk are they saying that 0.95

00:35:19.540 are there some people who are doing their own investing and they're saying that's a good thing

00:35:23.220 i'm smarter than bill ackman really is anybody saying that uh so as a hypnotist um i understand

00:35:37.700 why people don't like let's say the policies of the other side we all get that right if somebody says i

00:35:45.620 don't like those policies on the other side i get that that's not like anything strange or unusual

00:35:53.220 but how do you explain that the most transparent politician in the world trump the person we know

00:36:00.740 the most about served an entire term recently how do you how do you explain that the all these smart

00:36:09.700 people that i just mentioned can't see what uh heresies that really he's a secret hitler he's a secret

00:36:18.900 hitler they can't see it is that what the democrats think they just can't see it these smart people

00:36:25.780 they were so smart but now they can't see this well um here's the hypnotist take my take um it's

00:36:37.620 pretty obvious that some number of democrats are are under a brainwashing effect the brainwashing has

00:36:45.860 caused them to be completely irrational and even but here's the thing

00:36:51.620 um if you ask people how to explain the smart people who are well informed and clearly patriotic

00:37:02.580 if you said how do you explain that they exist and that they're public and they're really trying to

00:37:08.020 make sure that you understand what's going on how do you explain it now here's my prediction

00:37:14.900 if they're coming from some reasonable place that i just don't understand then the response to how do you

00:37:21.060 explain all these smart people supporting trump would be something smart but maybe something that you

00:37:27.380 didn't hear before do you think that's what would happen i don't think so i the the psychologists would

00:37:35.860 predict that under this situation where there's a clear absurdity that that voters are putting themselves

00:37:44.100 as smarter than musk akman sachs ramaswamy rfk jr and gabbard i mean really how many of you are smarter than

00:37:52.100 that group but democrats in order to accept this clearly absurd point of view would have to

00:38:01.460 employ cognitive dissonance to make the absurdity fit so they'd have to say something like well uh

00:38:08.980 they're really all i don't know what co-opted by russia or something is that there would be something 0.96

00:38:15.300 stupid so the question would be hilarious and you should ask your friends if you have a democrat friend 0.94

00:38:21.540 or co-worker just say i'm not judging i'm just curious how exactly would you explain the existence of all 1.00

00:38:31.780 these smart well-informed people who think that trump is clearly the right answer how do you explain it and

00:38:38.260 watch what happens it'll be it would just be word salad anger and changing the subject well but

00:38:46.500 you're bad okay sure i'm bad but but how do you explain all these smart people and then they say but

00:38:54.340 but trump did i go i know i know i hear what you're saying but how do you explain all these smart people 0.97

00:39:01.300 who don't know that but but but trump's a fascist i hear you i hear you but how do you explain

00:39:08.100 how none of these people can see it now here's something i tell you all the time

00:39:14.580 that i've never seen anybody agree with me yet so i'll keep working on you if you have two people

00:39:20.900 who go into a room and the room has no other entrance or exits except for the one door they go through

00:39:27.780 let's say it's a big door it's like a garage door it needs to be for this example and then when they come

00:39:34.100 out one of them says i can't believe there was an elephant in that room and then the other one says

00:39:42.020 uh there was no elephant in the room it was a 20 by 20 unfurnished room and just the two of us were in

00:39:49.540 there and the other one says are you kidding there was an elephant in the room there was an elephant in

00:39:54.980 the room i talked to the elephant i pet the elephant and the other one says there was not an elephant in

00:40:01.140 the room now which one of them is lying and which one of them is hallucinating

00:40:09.780 here's the rule people don't hallucinate nothing they hallucinate something

00:40:16.660 a hallucination adds something to the atmosphere it doesn't subtract it the person who says there's no

00:40:23.380 elephant is the one that's right you know unless they were telling some weird crazy lie but if but

00:40:29.860 if you're just trying to figure out who's got better perception the one who didn't see the elephant wins

00:40:35.620 every time you know lying would be a different situation but if you knew they weren't lying

00:40:42.340 the one who says there was an elephant is having a mental problem every time it's very very reliable

00:40:49.700 if you've added something to the environment it's a hallucination the person who doesn't see it

00:40:55.940 and is looking in the same place they're having the accurate impression

00:41:02.340 so the people who see the see hiller are having the hallucination all right uh even governor sununu

00:41:10.580 uh well he's republican but um he says that uh uh that what uh the claims about trump are all sort of

00:41:20.020 baked in and they're ridiculous and he dismisses them um he's what he say he says quote do you think

00:41:27.220 half of america is voting for a fascist now that ladies and gentlemen is the right question 0.98

00:41:35.940 do you really think that half of america was standing in that room and they say they didn't

00:41:43.220 see the elephant are they all hallucinating that there's no elephant in there because you could

00:41:50.740 have half america hallucinate there is an elephant that's actually something that could happen but half

00:41:56.740 of them not seeing an elephant it means there's no elephant if half of them can't see it that's what it means

00:42:04.020 um so given all that if you would like to end the race today and make it no doubt who's going to win

00:42:14.420 uh all you need is one person in the in the news business to ask the following question you ready for

00:42:22.180 it this is the question that would end the harris campaign now does that sound like a big claim

00:42:28.980 you're probably saying okay that's a little hyperbole a little bit of an exaggeration nope

00:42:36.900 no if anybody asks her this question and gets it on video it's the end of her campaign here it comes 1.00

00:42:49.860 uh miss harris um if you believe that trump is a fascist in the hitler mold

00:42:58.500 do you have a responsibility and do democrats have a responsibility to rig the election to make sure

00:43:05.220 he doesn't win and that's the end of the election that's it there is no answer to that question that

00:43:16.020 isn't the end of the election she would have to she'd have to change the subject which is the end of the

00:43:22.100 election because if you bring back and say oh no but seriously if i were in your shoes miss harris

00:43:29.540 and i believed i could stop hitler from rising i would do everything i could

00:43:34.660 so if you really believe that he's operating in the mold of hitler or he's close enough so that you

00:43:40.740 think that description makes sense in a national race you think that's a fair description of him

00:43:46.740 wouldn't that mean that your patriotic duty is to get him killed arrested or rig the election

00:43:57.380 now now she says no we need just fair elections i'd say hold on hold on you said he's so dangerous

00:44:04.900 he's like hitler do you mean that because if you mean it you gotta act like it if you mean it you

00:44:12.340 better be getting ready to rig this election as hard as you can or if you don't mean it shut the 1.00

00:44:18.580 fuck up cunt because you're gonna get somebody killed don't add that second part 1.00

00:44:27.060 that's the end of the race just ask her if she's willing to act on her own beliefs 1.00

00:44:33.060 are you willing to act in a rational patriotic way for your beliefs because let me let me raise my hand

00:44:40.820 and say if i ever find myself in that position where i genuinely believe a hitler-like character

00:44:48.420 is rising to power i will if i can help rig the election i promise i promise if i really believe

00:44:59.700 a hitler-like character is coming i will i will rig the hell out of that election i'm stepping up 0.59

00:45:06.500 do you know why because i love the country because i'm a patriot because i'm not going to let hitler

00:45:12.660 come to power if you think he's hitler and you're going to let him come to power because you're behind

00:45:18.020 in the polls and if you don't rig it you're not going to win so you tell me do you believe what you're 0.99

00:45:23.700 fucking saying or are you not a patriot and we can't depend on you when things get tough 0.98

00:45:30.740 it's the end of the election there's no way she can handle that question 0.99

00:45:34.260 i mean even even someone who is really good at answering questions would have no hope of

00:45:40.740 answering that one now i don't think hillary was ever asked and i don't think the harris will ever

00:45:46.980 be asked because she's only going to do friendlies between now and the the election day but it is the 0.64

00:45:52.020 question that ends the race i'd love to see scott jennings ask the question on the on the cnn panel

00:45:59.620 i'd love to see somebody else force the question so that the voters have to struggle with it

00:46:06.580 themselves i want i want the democrats to struggle with how she can answer that question 0.71

00:46:13.620 because either she's just starting the biggest problem in the world by saying our president is going

00:46:18.580 to be hitler well i don't have to finish that anyway so uh cnn fact checker i told you this that uh

00:46:32.660 tim walsh got fact checked hard for saying that trump lost the most manufacturing jobs which wasn't even

00:46:38.020 close to true daniel dale slapped him down hard so again i'm going to compliment cnn because uh

00:46:45.300 dana bash at least she got halfway to being realistic about her opinion of how harris did she failed

00:46:53.540 and i think that she essentially admitted that and then there are fact checkers slaps down walls

00:47:00.660 um as hard as you can slap somebody so you know not everything cnn does is going to meet my

00:47:09.140 difficult criteria for success but i appreciate what they've done on this

00:47:17.460 um let's see what else the harris yeah so tucker carlson was giving a speech at turning point action

00:47:26.660 and he says americans have reached their boiling point with all of this um and

00:47:36.900 he is worried of course that trump will win on votes but then the election will be rigged or stolen

00:47:42.500 and he said that quote when they tell when they tell you they've won you can look them straight in the

00:47:49.940 face and say i'm sorry dad's home and he's pissed dad's home now that would be trump um however

00:48:03.620 i would like to suggest the following i don't believe the republicans have anything whatsoever

00:48:10.500 to stop the democrats from rigging the race telling the media that it was fair and then arresting people

00:48:16.900 who complain there's no counterforce is there because nobody's organizing republican street

00:48:24.660 demonstrations and if they did they would just get locked up and be in jail um there's nobody you

00:48:30.580 could assassinate even if you wanted to which is a bad idea it wouldn't change any outcomes right

00:48:36.420 there's nobody you could kill what are you going to do shoo your neighbor that's not going to work 0.67

00:48:40.580 what are you going to do march get a sign that's not going to work complain on social media

00:48:47.300 that's not going to work what are you going to do

00:48:52.260 the thing i worry about i saw mike sunovich say something along the same lines what harris has

00:48:58.900 dropped in the last two weeks especially yesterday where she's going full hitler you know full hitler 1.00

00:49:05.140 messaging on trump it looks like she's trying to get him murdered because she doesn't know how 0.93

00:49:10.900 she could win fair and square and then jamie raskin is waiting in the wings to not certify trump if he

00:49:17.540 wins and then of course the courts are waiting in the wings to put him in jail if he wins so they their

00:49:23.300 plan is clearly that they don't have the policies or the person to win so they're

00:49:28.660 looking to ramp up the odds of assassination odds of jailing people etc can anybody explain to me

00:49:38.740 anything anything that republicans could do if the election is obviously stolen but the media

00:49:46.980 insists that it wasn't and the legal system just does what they're told and they lock up

00:49:54.500 people who appear to be breaking the law what are you going to do about it what's the military going

00:50:00.180 to do nothing so they just the that it seems like they're trying to neuter the military with this

00:50:06.180 whole fascist general kelly thing because if you hear that a general said that this guy's a bad guy

00:50:13.380 then if something happens to the bad guy that a general said is bad well that tells the military

00:50:20.020 to stand down right so it looks to me that they're setting up a condition for rigging the race

00:50:28.820 if they if if trump survives it looks like they're creating a situation to rig the election

00:50:35.300 i believe it's going to be right in front of us and i believe that it will be obvious and i believe

00:50:41.220 that the news will say it's fine and that there's no recourse and if if you could think of a recourse

00:50:50.980 that's like a real world thing you could actually do let me know i don't know about it i mean i can't

00:50:55.460 even think of one in sort of a hypothetical speculative sense we're not going to take to

00:51:01.620 the streets people are not going to take their guns out of the closet they're not going to shoot

00:51:06.740 their neighbor what are you going to do there's nothing you know you hear all the time that the cia

00:51:16.500 has you know run all these coups and rigged elections in other countries do you know why

00:51:22.580 it's happened so many times i guess there are 80 examples of it or something do you know why it's

00:51:26.820 happened so many times because it works you can overthrow a country all you need is the media on your

00:51:35.940 side that's it if the media says it was fair then they can apply as much muscle as they want behind

00:51:43.140 the scenes and the media will say yeah it's all working out everything's fine relax go back to

00:51:48.020 work i'm not aware of anything you could do if they steal the election no matter how obvious it is

00:51:54.980 you could take it to courts and the courts will say well we don't have time you don't have standing

00:52:00.820 even if this is true the specific case is not enough what are you going to do the courts can't sort

00:52:07.860 it out there's no street muscle that's going to sort it out if you can come up with anything anything

00:52:19.700 that's non-violent and could right or wrong like that should happen let me know i can't think of

00:52:27.060 anything this country is so neutered that we just like the 80 other countries that got taken over

00:52:34.420 allegedly they they don't complain right even ukraine was uh taken over what twice

00:52:45.780 and and it just went on like well i guess that's who's in charge now

00:52:53.620 anyway cnn's uh oh according to rasmussen half of the country thinks there will be violence

00:53:01.460 after the election no matter who gets elected uh but don't worry 23 say violence is very likely to

00:53:09.940 fall oh okay um so the point is that half of the country and it's both democrats and republicans

00:53:19.940 think that if the wrong person wins or no matter who wins really um there's going to be violence

00:53:25.620 oh look who it is the head of the adl what's he being blamed for

00:53:34.260 ah so somebody is saying that the adl uh the washington post is saying that adl data on right-wing

00:53:42.820 extremist violence is a fraud really

00:53:46.500 it says the washington post but i don't believe that i don't believe the washington post is throwing 0.89

00:53:54.740 the adl under the bus are they i'll have to look into that the adl as you know is a um just a corrupt

00:54:04.340 organization in my opinion

00:54:09.380 anyway so people are certainly primed to think violence is happening but since there's no violence

00:54:15.220 that anybody could think of that anybody could do i don't i don't know i i suppose if well let me ask you this

00:54:23.620 um

00:54:26.900 i'm seeing some things going by in the comments that look important but i'm not sure yet

00:54:34.420 yeah uh oh it was dated 2022 okay it was an old article

00:54:38.740 got it so harry enton at cnn says trump is up one in michigan pennsylvania wisconsin is that the

00:54:49.780 blue wall and biden was up five in the last election so that's bad for democrats uh independence

00:54:59.540 were plus 11 for biden at this time but now they're only plus two for harris

00:55:05.300 uh basically every poll that's moving is moving toward trump even if slightly so all movement is

00:55:10.820 toward trump everywhere so democrats are obviously prepping plan b assassination

00:55:18.420 raskin plan of not certifying or jailing jailing trump even the la times didn't endorse harris

00:55:28.100 so the uh the editorials editor resigned because the la times refused to endorse harris and i guess

00:55:36.820 she thought they should uh and then it was on social media and star wars actor mark hamill

00:55:44.580 he tried to be helpful and so he posted that he was going to cancel his he canceled his subscription

00:55:50.420 to the la times and then the editorial editor who resigned over it uh had to remind him um

00:55:58.260 no we still want the employees to have jobs so you're not really helping me mark hamill

00:56:09.300 mark hamill is not helping

00:56:14.180 all right my my favorite comment on the internet by the way the la times used to run bilbert

00:56:20.580 uh but when it was rated totally g uh dilbert got censored in the la times more than any other

00:56:32.340 newspaper in the world they they were the most censorious woke uh entity just complete editorial

00:56:40.820 garbage but uh they shouldn't last that long so james carville uh wrote an article with the three 1.00

00:56:49.380 reasons the harris will win uh the first reason was some dumb drunk stupid shit second reason was some 1.00

00:56:57.140 idiotic word salad garbage and the third reason was the average of the two it was ridiculous but here is 0.99

00:57:05.460 the reason i'm mentioning james carville somebody named marco rizzolo on the x referred to him as fire marshal bill 0.98

00:57:15.300 and once you see it

00:57:20.900 fire marshal bill now if you don't know that reference that's a jim carrey character from

00:57:27.060 million years ago where he was a burn victim and

00:57:31.940 there is something about carville that looks like fire marshal bill

00:57:36.020 oh they're sending their best meanwhile uh microsoft uh this one is hilarious microsoft believes that

00:57:46.820 they've uh discovered that russia is trying to influence our elections of course and they're

00:57:53.860 doing their world-class memes to do it so here's here's a description of one of the world-class

00:58:01.940 uh world-changing memes that are coming out of the ruction the alleged russian uh attempt to sway our

00:58:10.180 elections uh they put out a a deep fake or basically just a fake a meme that suggested that uh

00:58:21.140 that kamala harris uh had been illegally poaching in zambia

00:58:26.100 so according to microsoft and we're supposed to believe this is true the the nation of russia

00:58:37.620 put its best people together and they said you've got to you've got to influence that election in america

00:58:43.620 how are we going to do it boss well you're going to do some memes that are so strong it's going to

00:58:51.380 change everything yeah yeah and then they come back and they say we've got this meme we made a video that

00:58:57.780 accuses uh kamala harris of illegally poaching in zambia and then putin says

00:59:04.820 um i'm gonna have to execute you and your entire family because uh that's not even really let's put 0.99

00:59:16.660 it this way if you could imagine the best meme maker in the world let's say like a 10 and a 10 0.99

00:59:25.380 and then you could imagine that there are other people who are just pretty good at it

00:59:28.420 there are eights and nines and then there are people like me who are just you know playing with

00:59:34.100 it and we can hit a seven or eight on a good day um if you're in uh college and you're just playing

00:59:41.780 around with these things you could hit a six or seven if you're in high school and you're doing a

00:59:46.660 high school project you could probably do a four or five and a ten powerful meme uh this one's like a

00:59:55.700 point two point two point two and ten how in the world does microsoft think we're going to believe

01:00:05.220 that the mighty the mighty uh nation of russia couldn't come up with a better way to control

01:00:12.820 our election than making a fake looking video that nobody saw accusing kamala harris of poaching in zambia

01:00:20.740 do you remember what i said when um the news quite illegitimately told you that

01:00:32.100 i'm looking at some memes that are going by they're pretty funny

01:00:35.060 um do you remember when the the news told you that russia influenced the election with

01:00:40.180 with all their meme work from the troll farm and then if you looked at the actual memes they looked

01:00:46.260 like children that made them they couldn't have possibly influenced any election anywhere and uh

01:00:52.260 they just don't show you the memes so that you don't know that the claim is so obviously wrong

01:00:58.020 like i don't know if they came from russia but if they did there wasn't they weren't really trying

01:01:01.620 very hard anyway so that's that's what's happening

01:01:06.900 so that ladies and gentlemen is uh the end of my prepared comments uh i should tell you that i've

01:01:18.020 accepted an invitation by cenk yuger of the young turks to discuss why i think trump is a good idea for

01:01:27.540 election and he'll have the opposite opinion um that's not tonight though tonight i believe he's

01:01:34.180 having a show with some other people he's talking to uh and that was his original idea to do it tonight

01:01:39.620 i couldn't make that schedule but he did agree to have me on his show on monday that will be 8 pm

01:01:46.420 eastern time on the young turks and uh you'll get to see me talking to cenk who i appreciate a lot

01:01:55.620 for his uh flexibility and openness and willing to have that conversation we probably don't agree on too much

01:02:04.260 but you might be surprised

01:02:08.980 i'm saying that all hope is lost probably not i do think the election is going to be too big to rig

01:02:17.540 i think it will be very obvious it was rigged and we may be very close to what i'll call the best

01:02:23.300 case scenario the best case scenario would be that the election is rigged massively and we uncover it

01:02:33.620 right away that that would be the ultimate the ultimate would be they do cheat and we teach them

01:02:42.420 we catch them and it's just so obvious that even the media can't cover it up anymore that's what we need

01:02:48.900 um and then the golden age is completely unleashed because if we don't get past this idea that our

01:02:55.300 elections you know we have to trust our elections we're not there we got to get past that and we've got to

01:03:02.340 get the uh pirate ship of highly qualified people in that can make a difference i saw was it i think

01:03:09.380 bill ackman was talking about this that trump's the only one talking about growth uh harris is talking

01:03:16.420 about an opportunity economy which sounds more like equity which doesn't sound like growth trump is

01:03:24.580 saying we got to grow our way out of it and i've got the smartest entrepreneur in the world elon musk who's

01:03:30.900 going to cut our costs if you do those two things we might survive cut costs by re-engineering government

01:03:38.260 it won't be just cuts it's got to be re-engineered the whole rethought from ground up

01:03:42.740 and you've got to grow like crazy you've got to get rid of got to get rid of your regulations you've got

01:03:50.740 to make the animal spirits zoom you've got to have better better relationships with other countries

01:03:57.300 access to all the resources we need etc so the golden age is upon us we're going to have some robots

01:04:07.860 we're going to have cheap electricity um the the nuclear energy field is exploding not in the bad

01:04:14.500 way it's just there's more of it not exploding not exploding and uh if you were to take the temperature

01:04:24.020 right now of what it looks like i do believe that the democrats are preparing uh a set of the worst

01:04:33.540 case scenario plan b everything from literally by the way i mean this literally this is not hyperbole

01:04:41.780 i do think they're trying to kill trump they're trying to kill trump in my opinion because i don't see

01:04:49.540 any other explanation for what they're doing none so that's real but he's going to have a good

01:04:57.140 protection i think he'll i think he will survive any attempts uh next they're going to try to lawfare him

01:05:06.500 i think the courts will be too reluctant to do that i think he can survive the lawfare and then there's

01:05:14.420 the raskin plan to declare him i don't know an insurrectionist or something but he's not going

01:05:20.340 to be able to do that because the public isn't going to let it happen now he could try but um at that

01:05:31.700 point i think complete civil obedience kicks in now when i said there's nothing you can do yeah you can

01:05:39.300 shut down the whole country if raskin tries to put uh take trump out of it we can shut down the whole

01:05:45.620 country you can shut down all the trucking we can shut down the we'll starve the whole country so if

01:05:52.020 you ask me what will republicans do that they could actually do they will starve the country they will 0.99

01:05:59.700 starve you you're not going to get food if you fuck with this election and i believe that will really 0.99

01:06:07.540 happen now that doesn't require everybody to be in on it you don't need a lot of people to stop all 0.99

01:06:13.220 transportation in the united states and if you stop all transportation largely republican domain 0.98

01:06:21.540 nobody gets anything so yes raskin if you try to fuck with this election with your little shenanigans 0.97

01:06:31.620 the republicans the republicans are going to starve this country and good luck getting food so if i 0.99

01:06:38.820 were you i would stock up because the the odds of a disruption in the supply chain are really high

01:06:48.100 so i i've already put in some supplies i think a few weeks would be fine like you you should have at

01:06:54.100 least enough to eat for two weeks so make sure you got water if you can get a electrical backup generator

01:07:01.380 that'd be good we will be fine of this i'm sure i'm sure we'll be fine we will work it out

01:07:11.620 but you should get ready if raskin tries something it's got to be massive and immediate complete civil

01:07:17.860 disobedience we gotta just shut down the roads basically

01:07:24.420 um i'm hoping nothing like that happens i'm hoping everything just goes

01:07:28.660 nice and smoothly but we'll see all right ladies and gentlemen uh let's go check the uh stock market

01:07:35.700 see how we're doing today and uh i will see the uh locals people in the man cave tonight if you didn't
