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
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
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
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
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
00:13:51.540
now obviously he didn't say that the the the hoaxes are just so insanely absurdly stupid
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
00:14:07.060
grabbed her butt nobody cares uh the wall street journal because we don't believe it of course
00:14:15.700
uh a new wall street journal poll says harris is losing the popular vote now if you're losing the
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
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
00:16:24.740
here's something fun so uh speaker johnson is pointing out that there's now a website
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

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
00:21:43.940
so harris gave her town hall and i think that even cnn said that she failed completely
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
00:22:55.540
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
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
00:24:11.540
because even uh even anderson cooper was pushing her you used to say the wall was stupid you used to
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
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
00:25:55.780
that you would pick up as a non-voter not this year though suckers i'm voting this year
00:26:04.340
anyway so yes she was a terrible um anderson cooper also asked her if she thought that trump was a
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
00:26:19.380
kelly hoaxes and the the atlantic hoaxes if there are two things you shouldn't believe it's anything
00:26:26.340
that one of trump's old generals ever said because all of his generals were morons and and maybe not
00:26:33.940
even patriots so everything trump said about his generals is looks obviously true they they don't even
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
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
00:26:52.820
public but probably behind closed doors you know maybe they're not as smart no they look dumb in
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
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
00:27:10.900
well it turns out that being a general is a political appointment you can't become a general
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:28:35.460
incredible that that's all they have it's pathetic it's weak and it could get both candidates killed
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
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
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
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
00:30:17.620
in my family there are people who feel that way about their politicians if if people think that the
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:35:07.300
successful and well-informed do they tell themselves that these people are actually dumb
00:35:11.940
are there democrats who say it's a good thing i'm smarter than elon musk are they saying that
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
00:38:15.300
stupid so the question would be hilarious and you should ask your friends if you have a democrat friend
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
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
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
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
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
00:44:18.580
fuck up cunt because you're gonna get somebody killed don't add that second part
00:44:27.060
that's the end of the race just ask her if she's willing to act on her own beliefs
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
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
00:45:23.700
fucking saying or are you not a patriot and we can't depend on you when things get tough
00:45:30.740
it's the end of the election there's no way she can handle that question
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
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
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
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
00:49:05.140
messaging on trump it looks like she's trying to get him murdered because she doesn't know how
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
00:53:46.500
it says the washington post but i don't believe that i don't believe the washington post is throwing
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
00:54:09.380
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
00:54:26.900
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
00:56:14.180
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
00:56:49.380
reasons the harris will win uh the first reason was some dumb drunk stupid shit second reason was some
00:56:57.140
idiotic word salad garbage and the third reason was the average of the two it was ridiculous but here is
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
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
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
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
01:02:08.980
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
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
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
01:06:13.220
transportation in the united states and if you stop all transportation largely republican domain
01:06:21.540
nobody gets anything so yes raskin if you try to fuck with this election with your little shenanigans
01:06:31.620
the republicans the republicans are going to starve this country and good luck getting food so if i
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
