Dilbert talks about UFO sightings in New Jersey, food dyes being banned by the FDA, and the benefits of taking psychedelics. Plus, why psychedelics are bad for your brain and why they are good for your body.
00:02:29.800Because this is happening under the Biden administration, and it seems to be perfectly aligned with RFK Jr.'s view of the world.
00:02:38.920So that is just the best welcome map RFK Jr. could possibly have, to have something that's just right in the middle of his sweet spot, adopted by the other team, which actually was his old team or maybe his future team.
00:02:58.760There's a study, according to the New Atlas, that they found that when twins are studied, the ones that eat the most fruit and vegetables have less depression.
00:03:13.400So are you surprised that eating well is good for your brain?
00:03:19.280No, because as I teach you every single day, your brain and your body are the same tool.
00:03:25.540If you let your brain, if you let your body get into disrepair or you don't exercise, you don't eat the right foods, your brain will not work as well as it should.
00:03:51.500I have a suspicion that if evolution is true, that we really evolved, doesn't it make sense that we're not all in the same exact place evolutionary-wise?
00:04:48.620But I don't think that's for everybody.
00:04:52.340I feel like at a very basic biological level, some people respond better to fruits and vegetables and some people like me better.
00:05:02.760It just feels like we shouldn't be looking for one diet that's right for everybody.
00:05:10.200Anyway, according to the Marijuana Herald, which I know you all read, psychedelics are linked to enhanced sexual function even months after you use them.
00:05:23.740So LSD, psilocybin, it improves your sexual function for months.
00:24:42.180But my speculation is at least a little bit the jury was not happy with the judge or the process that the judge was running.
00:24:52.120So Daniel Penny appears to be a free man.
00:24:56.040We still worry about the charge that was dismissed could technically be rerun, meaning they could try him again and try to get a conviction on the higher charge, the one that was initially dismissed.
00:25:11.160But as Jonathan Turley points out, that he thinks it would be presumptively barred by double jeopardy, which is a perfect lawyer sentence.
00:25:23.240So what I think that means is that although it would not be actual double jeopardy because there wasn't a completed trial.
00:25:31.560I think I think I think that makes a difference, but it would be in effect, in effect, it would be double jeopardy because he, you know, he had the jeopardy and then they put him in jeopardy again.
00:25:43.620So there's literally two jeopardies, double jeopardy.
00:25:46.980So I think that Turley probably has the right legal interpretation.
00:25:51.620Some people might disagree, but I don't see any way that they're going to try him again at that higher charge.
00:25:59.260That would just make the courts look like idiots.
00:26:02.100I mean, I think the jury would be extra mad if they knew that was happening.
00:26:06.280Anyway, the funniest, the larger part of the story is the racial element.
00:26:16.420Now, because the Daniel Penny is white and the person who died is black, how does that make it interpreted by Republicans?
00:26:26.160So how do Republicans interpret a white guy doing something that he thought was protecting people on the subway and in the process, the black guy died?
00:27:52.440This is the least racial situation you'll ever see.
00:27:55.660It just happened to have people of more than one race.
00:27:58.760So watching the Democrats who figured out or they haven't figured out, I guess, that identity politics and making everything about race is why they lost everything.
00:28:10.120Because I think this is another one of those common sense stories.
00:28:15.580Now, I'm not saying that that the justice system is colorblind.
00:28:21.560I'm just saying that this particular case had nothing to do with race, just this one.
00:28:27.780So, you know, I'm not talking in a general way.
00:28:29.840But for the Democrat, let's say the leading news entities and leading opinion people to try as hard as they can to turn this into a racial case.
00:28:42.000It just makes the Democrats look so out of touch.
00:28:46.120It makes them look almost like they're in the wrong decade or something.
00:28:49.280It's it seems so tone deaf and of time.
00:28:57.120There's just no there's nothing right about it.
00:28:59.840It's just pure incompetence, evil, not understanding the moment, not understanding the country, not trying to be helpful, not trying to make the country a better place.
00:29:39.780It's the reason he got charged because he wouldn't have been charged if he had been black.
00:29:43.660There's not a single person who thinks that.
00:29:45.200I don't think you could find even one person who thinks that a black penny, you know, the guy penny would have been accused from the very moment they tried to turn it into a racial thing, which it never was.

00:31:43.280And then, you know, I've been complimenting CNN lately because they let Scott Jennings do his thing.
00:31:51.080So he's usually supporting the Republican side of things.
00:31:54.720And I've complimented CNN not only for having him on the show, you know, as a regular, but allowing him to speak without cutting him off or, you know, yelling him down or anything like that.
00:32:13.320But they've got a new host who decided that talking over Scott Jennings the entire time he talked, at least on one topic, was the way to go.
00:32:26.940It's like they couldn't stay in that, you know, unbiased zone.
00:32:33.100It had to be that Scott Jennings is not allowed to talk because if he talks, only bad things will happen.
00:32:38.620So they're right back to right back to being terrible.
00:32:44.220They were halfway away from terrible, but they're back to terrible.
00:32:48.980Black Lives Matter, of course, decided to get involved.
00:32:53.420How many of you saw the video of Black Lives Matter local leader, not national, Hawk Newsome, where he was saying that maybe black people need to get some vigilantes to go after white people?
00:33:11.500Now, if you saw it, could you tell he was super drunk?
00:33:18.880Now, I've talked to Hawk, you know, personally at length several years ago, and I know what he sounds like when he's not drunk, and it's not that.
00:33:33.800Now, how come we never talk about that in the news?
00:33:36.640Like, I can say it because I'm, you know, just this guy with a live stream, but CNN, Fox News, there's nobody who's willing to say that man is obviously super drunk, and not just a little bit.
00:33:50.840He was super drunk because even the things he said, I don't think he would say if he hadn't been drunk.
00:34:12.620It's one super drunk guy, and it seemed like there were maybe 20 people pretending they cared, but it looked like just sort of theater and acting out.
00:34:24.700And, you know, I don't know that Hawk has much chance of getting a regular job, so I think he's just trying to monetize the activism.
00:34:32.700Don't know for sure, but he's in a situation where making money would be kind of hard because of his Black Lives Matter association.
00:34:43.380And anyway, so then later there were hundreds of marchers, but I saw the video of the, quote, hundreds of Black Lives Matter sympathizers marching.
