Summary
In this episode of Coffee with Scott Adams, I talk about the memes of me dating michelle obama, and how it might be possible that if we ever met her in person, we'd get along really well.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
and that's good i hope you're doing well we've got a show for you today as soon as i can see my
00:00:08.160
comments come on comments there we go everything's working out perfectly today
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:42.000
coffee with scott adams and i guarantee you've never had a better time in your life
00:00:45.840
but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their
00:00:53.500
tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mugger a glass of tankard shells
00:00:59.140
a stein a canteen jug a flask a vessel of any kind and fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee
00:01:03.460
join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything
00:01:07.840
better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:01:12.900
well i don't know how your life has gone for the last 24 hours
00:01:24.100
but ever since uh grok got really really good at making pictures uh there's been a non-stop uh
00:01:37.300
and the the images are so photorealistic that you know all morning long and yesterday too
00:01:46.420
i'm looking at photos going by in the locals that the people who chat on the locals feed
00:01:51.700
can put in images so we trade memes and there are about 10 000 memes of me making out with michelle obama
00:02:02.340
but but here's the funny thing uh they also tried to do uh aoc and me but every time they did an aoc picture
00:02:11.700
where where i was you know on as far as ai i was seemingly dating her it didn't look like we had chemistry
00:02:21.460
like we even though we would be like in the picture we'd be close
00:02:25.060
but just didn't look like we were that into each other but but the funny thing is the michelle obama
00:02:30.820
pictures almost all of them it looks like we're really getting it off we're really getting it off
00:02:36.420
and and it makes me wonder in the real world it makes me wonder given that ai is based on pattern
00:02:45.860
recognition is it possible that ai is predicting that if i ever met michelle obama in person
00:02:54.580
that we'd get along great do you think that that's possible do you think ai could figure out
00:03:01.060
just with its own little pattern recognition which kind of people i'd get along with and who i wouldn't
00:03:08.260
and is it possible that it knows i wouldn't get along with aoc and and i'm not talking about
00:03:13.380
dating i'm just talking about you know personal charisma and chemistry and stuff but it looks like
00:03:19.380
i would be i would like really get along with michelle obama and it makes me curious now i actually
00:03:25.540
really want to meet her just to see if we would just have like a natural connection i'll bet we do
0.55
00:03:32.340
i don't know if i had to bet it on it i'd say 60 40 yes that the ai is actually revealing that there's
00:03:39.780
some way we'd we get along great anyway there's a one of the top stories is there's a school shooting
00:03:47.860
and there's something about maybe trans and i'm not going to talk about any of that i don't love talking
00:03:52.820
about the trans stuff don't love talking about the crimes and when they're together uh i'm twice as
0.99
00:04:00.180
not twice as likely to not want to all right i have to i have to show if you don't mind the people on
00:04:09.220
locals uh i'm gonna i'm gonna show everybody some of the memes so here's me with michelle obama
00:04:19.700
on a date at the cat cafe that doesn't exist but should there we are see how we're hitting it off
00:04:31.140
for some reason it puts like spots on me all right what else we got here
00:04:40.740
but then notice how i don't have chemistry with everybody so here i am with kamala harris
00:04:46.500
no chemistry right you can see it there's just no chemistry there all right now let's see
00:04:57.060
find another one with michelle a whole bunch of them coming in just as i was talking about it
00:05:03.300
all right here's another one at the cat cafe you tell me
00:05:14.740
we're petting the cat we're drinking coffee these are good times
00:05:18.260
i'm gonna have a false memory that i actually dated her all right here's the best one
00:05:28.980
i almost don't want to show you this one but it's just too good
00:05:36.420
all right here's the best one now you tell me does it look like we have chemistry
00:05:56.020
it's still impressive all right so that's enough of that
00:06:01.540
how impressed are you at the quality of the images they're they're kind of amazing
00:06:05.700
anyway here's there's some science uh from the universidad castilla la mancha spain i know that
00:06:15.300
was a perfect pronunciation a lot of people would have had trouble with it because it's a foreign language
00:06:21.780
but uh i just have a thing with languages so universidad castillo la mancha that's how you do it
00:06:30.340
anyway according to them people who take a higher number of steps every day are likely to have
00:06:43.140
huh the people who are more active have less depression
00:06:51.060
what's also true is that people who have more depression don't feel like walking
00:06:57.060
so is it backward science is it and they admit that they think it might be backwards by the way
00:07:05.060
so in this in this case they're very aware that it's correlation not causation but why is it so
00:07:11.300
complicated to know what is the causation it's because it works both ways there's two causations
00:07:19.220
one if you're depressed you're not going to take a walk two if you could force yourself to take a walk
00:07:24.740
it would probably make you less depressed so it's a it's sort of a not backward science it's more like
00:07:33.300
bisexual two-way science sure let's call it that meanwhile there's some microchips being
0.98
00:07:42.180
developed that look like they could identify a whole range of diseases from things like just your breath
00:07:50.500
and other other factors i guess according to ken richards at the no trick zone
00:07:56.660
um oh wait no this is a different study i'm on to a different study
00:08:03.540
so let me give you some about the chips for measuring stuff so um a number of years ago i was at a berkeley
00:08:12.100
event where some startups were pitching their stuff and one of them that i invested in
00:08:17.380
was a startup that had a uh very inexpensive portable chip based thing for testing your blood
00:08:27.540
so you'd give it um the smallest little sample which actually they would take from
00:08:32.500
not even pinching you i think they would do it with like a band-aid thing that would slightly pierce your
00:08:38.020
skin and then they put that band-aid thing on it and they would do a blood test now that startup i don't
00:08:43.540
think worked out i haven't checked in with them but i don't i don't think they hit a home run there
00:08:49.140
but that was based on the fact that after 9 11 the government funded both a bunch of studies
00:08:56.260
to develop to see if you can develop quickly a way to detect you know chemical weapons so because the
00:09:03.940
government funded fast ways to detect chemical weapons the technology was developed that could also
00:09:11.460
detect other things and also be portable and inexpensive but that was years ago so it looks
00:09:17.860
like they've got something else going in that domain i think that's going to replace your doctor if you
00:09:23.620
give me ai and you give me a chip that can find most of my diseases
00:09:31.460
um i'm 80 good i mean other than catastrophic things that's most of my health care anyway
00:09:37.860
um back to uh ken richards at the no trick zone there's a study that finds there's no measurable
00:09:44.900
effect of reducing the uh admissions so the climate won't be any better because of it why
00:09:51.780
well this is the funniest the funniest potential debunk of climate change models that you'll see
00:10:00.020
i'm not going to say that i believe this is true this is just a claim right studies studies are about
00:10:06.500
half of them are true um but research found according to this one study that uh you get a lot of climate
00:10:15.540
effects um when co2 is up to a certain range but then after that range as the co2 continues to go up
00:10:25.300
you do not get a predictable amount of warming and the theory is that at first
00:10:32.420
you know if you went from no co2 or low co2 to a little bit you would see an increase in heat
00:10:39.300
but we're way past that so where we are the amount of co2 we have in the air if you were to double it
00:10:46.820
it wouldn't make much difference so apparently there's there's something about the nature of co2
00:10:53.460
that a little bit of it will get you warm but if you quadruple it barely makes a difference
00:11:00.020
it was the little bit to make you warm that mattered let me see if i could come up with an
00:11:04.260
analogy this is a bad analogy let's say if you were painting a room in your house and you put one coat
00:11:11.780
on it you'd say not good enough you put two coats of paint on it you're good you've got a nicely painted
00:11:18.020
room what if you put a third coat on it the third coat wouldn't make any difference what about
00:11:24.660
a fourth coat no difference so in so the claim and i'm not saying it's true it's just a study
00:11:34.100
is that the only the only differences that the co2 would make the biggest part is already made
00:11:41.460
and we're fine so even if we did even if we spent trillions of dollars to try to you know desperately
00:11:49.700
try to keep that number from rising wouldn't make any difference now is that true i don't know
00:11:56.740
but i'll tell you what is definitely true the models do not predict the future
00:12:02.580
all they predict is the assumptions you put into them they predict the past climate models predict the past
00:12:12.100
do you know how because they tell you what assumptions you put in in them in the past
00:12:16.580
you if you show me a climate model and i were an expert in models and climate models i could look
00:12:23.780
at it and say hmm i predict that in the past you assumed that the temperature goes up smoothly at the
00:12:31.860
same rate as the co2 that's my prediction did you do that in the past yeah we did nail it nailed it i
0.89
00:12:40.900
predicted the past does it predict the future i doubt it but but it definitely predicts the past it'll
00:12:52.100
tell you what assumptions you put a new model in the past all right um i think there's some fake news
00:12:59.620
out there on the political right but i'm not positive so the political right is all upset and i've i've
00:13:07.060
reported on this too that the biden administration is selling off uh perfectly good parts of the
00:13:15.460
southern wall um components that are being sold for scrap when uh by when it's clear that trump would
00:13:24.420
use them so we're just wasting our money and the story is that it's you know supposedly bad for trump
00:13:31.780
because you'll have to spend more money to build wall but i saw jessica tarloff on the five the other
1.00
00:13:37.940
day saying that was fake news how many of you have heard that's fake news now i'm not saying it is
00:13:46.420
i'm just saying how many of you have heard the claim that that was fake news have you even heard the
00:13:52.660
claim because i wonder how much is getting through into their into our bubble because i'm in the same
00:13:58.660
bubble you are i only saw one one little sliver of that which is i was doing something else and i i
00:14:06.180
heard jessica tarloff and you know just talking while the tv was on and i was like what what so some of
00:14:15.380
you yes so i believe her argument was that the stuff being sold was actually junk now what's the difference
00:14:23.940
between perfectly good wall and junk i don't know but i think you'll recall that when i first told you
00:14:32.340
the story i suggested that there might be more to it as in there might be a reason they're throwing it away
00:14:39.860
so there is a counter claim and the counter claim i don't know the details of it but would suggest
00:14:47.700
exactly what i was i was imagining it would suggest that not all the wall is the same
00:14:53.780
and that there might be parts of it that they they concluded were not usable maybe they were stored
00:14:59.700
incorrectly maybe they were the wrong specifications maybe they don't um maybe there's some structural
00:15:07.460
problem i don't know so uh just put a put a pin in this one when i first heard that story
00:15:15.140
i had a i didn't say it and i should have so this is on me it wasn't a little bit too much on the nose
00:15:23.380
when you heard that biden is selling off the wall that everybody knows would be a good idea to keep
00:15:29.620
do you think that that really did that sound like a real story when you first heard it
00:15:34.900
or did it sound like exactly the kind of things that are fake stories it sounded it sounded to me like
00:15:42.020
exactly like exactly like a fake story like you just had all the characteristics of an obviously
00:15:46.980
fake story but i didn't see any reporting and as of today i think fox news is still
00:15:55.140
and other major pundits who would know better are still reporting it's a real thing
00:16:00.980
so i'll put it out there as a question mark if i had to put my money on it i would bet it's fake
00:16:07.540
fake if i had to put my money on it i bet it's fake but i don't know so we'll find out
00:16:16.340
um do you remember i don't know if you even noticed there was a lot of news about how if you're using a
00:16:22.420
black spatula or black any of the black kind of kitchen utensils you were poisoning yourself because
0.96
00:16:30.500
there was stuff in that plastic that was coming off and getting in your body and yesterday i almost
00:16:36.260
i almost replaced all of my black plastic um kitchenware because it's basically all i have
00:16:44.340
it's all black plastic kitchenware and i thought damn it you know they were they were pretty adamant
00:16:50.340
that there was some bad stuff in there i better replace it well turns out according to ours technica
00:16:57.220
that uh they made an error in the math and they added an extra zero and they were off by 10x
00:17:04.900
they were off by a factor of 10. it is 10 as dangerous as they said and it wasn't exactly that
00:17:14.980
dangerous so so what did the scientists do when they found out that instead of finding out that
00:17:23.140
it was above the safe level it was actually one-tenth of the safe level so obviously they immediately
00:17:30.900
apologized they immediately retracted the paper and concluded that black plastic spatulas are just
00:17:38.500
fine right obviously obviously that's what they did no no what they did was they said oh
00:17:53.620
it's one-tenth of what you can tolerate but still it's the same point because it's one-tenth of what you
00:17:58.820
can tolerate so they've decided that they'll you know keep the conclusion but the numbers will change
00:18:06.580
by 10x but not the conclusion conclusion is fine but the climate change models are all good right
00:18:23.780
uh sometimes i think you would have had to spend no time in in real life in real life all of this
00:18:40.660
well apparently there's going to be lasers on drones uh somebody in north korea
00:18:46.020
not not north korea um hong kong a researcher according to new atlas uh found a way to put
00:18:54.900
powerful lasers on drones but they did it in a clever way because you're saying to yourself
00:19:00.260
oh scott scott scott scott oh let me let me let me clear this up for you you are so dumb scott about
0.95
00:19:09.940
all things science and here's another example of it because you couldn't possibly you couldn't
00:19:15.700
possibly support the weight of uh the weight of a laser that would be powerful enough to do any damage
00:19:23.220
you'd never be able to put this big truck size laser on a drone scott you freaking idiot
00:19:31.700
well they didn't do that they're using a mirror on the drone and they have a ground-based laser that
00:19:38.580
they would shoot up to the mirror i'm simplifying it's more than a mirror i'm simplifying they hit
00:19:44.180
the mirror and then it would form into a deadly laser beam if they aimed it correctly
00:19:51.460
which is remarkably impressive technology if they can make it work
00:19:57.540
it's not the first time this has been thought of because there have been space-based
00:20:02.580
ideas for space-based satellites that would also reflect a laser
00:20:08.100
maybe those already exist would we know i don't know it's kind of cool idea so you need a truck
00:20:14.900
size thing to make that work but the truck would be on the ground ontario the wait is over the gold

casino.com for details please play responsibly support for nuclear energy is at an all-time high you're
00:21:23.460
welcome i say that because i was one of several people who for the last eight years have been
00:21:31.700
banging that drum you don't understand it's safer than you think you know the modern ones are not as
00:21:38.180
dangerous as the old ones they know how to handle the waste etc so apparently that got through
00:21:45.620
but according to just the news um 70 of men support nuclear energy but only 44 of women
00:21:55.780
why the difference and don't say something sexist why is there such a gigantic difference
00:22:03.460
about something that that isn't personal to women it's not like it's an abortion
00:22:08.820
it's not personal to women in any way why would there be a gigantic difference
00:22:14.900
well answer the question without being a sexist you sexists why do you why do you think there would
00:22:25.300
that nuclear energy is not only good but necessary which is what all the tech all the tech leaders are
00:22:44.020
saying they're all saying it's not only good it's required we're going to need it for ai and other stuff
00:22:49.700
now my audience is 80 for 85 percent male and i've i've trained my 85 percent male audience completely
00:22:59.780
every one of you could could argue about a nuclear energy you know at your next party and you know what
00:23:06.980
you're talking about but also 15 of the women the women who are watching me would also be able to argue the
1.00
00:23:12.900
same i think it has to do with what sources of information men and women use i think the podcaster
00:23:21.620
world and the tech bro world is 100 pro nuclear energy if you watch joe rogan somebody would have been
00:23:31.220
on there like michael schellenberger for example and would have said nuclear energy no you have it all
00:23:36.900
wrong nuclear energy is great it's necessary it's required really and who watches what's the gender
0.99
00:23:44.420
breakdown of joe rogan it's probably not too far from mine it's probably 80 20 i'm just guessing but
00:23:52.180
mostly male how many people are following you know michael schellenberger
00:23:57.700
yeah so if you just go right down the line i think you would find that the the more tech oriented
00:24:06.180
topics attract men and so men become informed on tech oriented things if i said to you um that what
00:24:15.380
percentage of men versus women have a pretty good understanding of cryptocurrencies it would also skew
00:24:23.300
male wouldn't it much less much less but it was skew male maybe 60 40 there there are tons of women
1.00
00:24:29.620
who are deeply into crypto uh and know what they're talking about but still at least 60 40.
00:24:36.660
what about uh electric cars if i were gonna get into a debate about the pros and cons of electric cars
00:24:44.980
who do you think would be more informed about that men not because men are awesome but because they
00:24:51.700
would just automatically they would just automatically they're drawn to topics like that and podcasts
00:24:56.660
like that and articles like that so we kind of like our nerdy stuff so it makes sense but it also but
00:25:03.220
also suggests a a fixable problem it sounds like women are less informed on the pros and cons of nuclear
1.00
00:25:12.420
energy and again this has nothing to do with being female there's there's no gender or anything here
0.95
00:25:18.100
it's just that there are natural preferences of podcasts and new sources so this is a big problem
00:25:27.460
and i would argue that the uh the resistance to nuclear energy if we had not had it which means
00:25:36.020
if women had been on the right page because women are on just the wrong page there are very few topics
0.99
00:25:42.420
where i can just say oh you're 100 wrong right if we're talking about abortion it's very subjective
00:25:50.180
but not nuclear power nuclear power is purely objective and it just is clearly in one direction
00:25:57.140
you should do a lot of it so that's an education problem if we don't educate women on some of these nerdy
1.00
00:26:05.940
things we're gonna have problems getting things done that need to get done all right well kamala harris
00:26:13.700
uh emerged to do some more word salad and uh i feel like she has about four sentences that you can just
00:26:22.420
interchange and then just repeat them in different order and you would have a kamala harris speech
00:26:28.100
um so it kind of goes like this but with a drunken accent we have to put in the work we have not been
00:26:40.580
defeated our spirits have not been defeated because we're going to put in the work and i've been very
00:26:49.540
very clear that we've not been defeated and we're going to put it in the work
00:26:57.700
and we know what we stand for and we know democracy matters i've been very clear and as long as we put
00:27:07.220
it in the work no individual can take away our power because i've been very clear we put it in the work
00:27:14.900
so that's basically her old speech right there and i would like to make a persuasion suggestion to
00:27:24.820
kamala harris now that she's lost i can give her this advice do you not the worst possible
00:27:31.780
fucking thing you could ever say if you're running for office we need to put in the work don't ever say
0.93
00:27:39.060
that nobody likes work let's compare uh we're really gonna have to put it in the work
00:27:55.300
make america healthy again oh you got me okay you got it we're entering the golden age oh
00:28:02.500
oh really the golden age nice my energy is up let's make america great again make it healthy again
00:28:11.380
the golden age i've been very clear we're gonna have to do the work do the work i've been very clear
00:28:19.860
they can't steal our democracy i've been very clear
00:28:26.580
i mean i don't want to get all analytical but which one do you like make america great again or
00:28:42.980
that's uh she's uh anti-persuasive is what i call her let's see let me tell you the least surprising news
1.00
00:28:51.540
um according to zero hedge uh the philadelphia fed finds that all the jobs created in the second
00:29:05.300
really so the biden administration when it needed the jobs to look good it was maybe the most important
00:29:12.500
thing that they needed i had some statistics that have all been let's say modified and corrected and
00:29:19.860
improved since then and now we know that all of the job growth was fake it was fake
00:29:29.060
have i ever told you have i ever told you that all data that matters is fake
00:29:35.940
if you could remember just one thing about the world it would protect you so much all data that matters
00:29:44.260
is fake now that matters is doing a lot of work there so for example if you were to uh count the
00:29:52.660
number of shoes in your closet and there were too many for your storage space well you know the data
00:29:58.100
matters so i mean it doesn't matter to the world but so in small ways data is useful in small ways data is
00:30:06.020
useful but whenever there's a big data that can only be put together by the special people you know not
00:30:14.500
everybody can do a climate change analysis it's got to be the special people not everybody can tell you
00:30:20.820
how much the employment is this quarter i can't do it you can't do it you have to listen to the special
00:30:27.220
people so when the special people are in charge let's see are these vaccinations going to be good for
00:30:33.940
us or bad for us let's ask the special people because we can't really tell ourselves
00:30:41.460
whenever the special people control the data it's fake do you know how i know that because it used to
00:30:49.540
be my job to tell people what the data was when i worked in big companies do you think i was concerned
00:30:57.940
about the accuracy of the data yes if it didn't matter but if it mattered i was concerned about
00:31:06.180
not getting fired and when it mattered i gave my boss whatever he wanted that was my job and all i had
00:31:15.940
to do is change the assumptions i didn't even have to lie i didn't even have to do anything dishonest
00:31:21.780
i could just look at my assumptions and say well you know if i tweak that one it's going to give my
00:31:28.180
boss exactly what he wants and then is that dishonest no because i would footnote well not
00:31:34.100
even footnote i'd say it directly uh these are my assumptions and it would actually be a an assumption
00:31:40.020
page so whenever i did a any kind of a projection financial project projection which i did for a living
00:31:46.500
i would list my assumptions and if you were if you were to read those assumptions you would say huh
00:31:54.420
that looks kind of subjective you could have gone this way or the other way and there would be an
00:31:58.580
argument both ways so i picked the way that my boss liked just like every other person who does numbers
00:32:06.100
every other person gives their boss what they want if you think it happens some other way you're not
00:32:12.660
working in you're not living in the real world yeah in the real world the boss gets what they asked for
00:32:18.980
that's how money works anyway uh zero hedge was uh reporting on that
00:32:28.580
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:32:40.020
so you know how uh trump won the case against george stephanopoulos who said he had been found liable for
00:32:49.060
rape and then i saw on social media a bunch of other people uh passing around you know video of
00:32:56.900
other people who had also said that trump was a rapist and they said oh you know pretty soon you're
00:33:02.420
gonna have to pay 15 million dollars so it was a way to say that what stephanopoulos was doing
00:33:09.060
was what everybody else was doing and they should all be sued as well but they weren't doing what he was
00:33:16.500
doing what stephanopoulos was doing was more unique than what the others were doing if somebody says
00:33:25.860
trump is a racist or trump is a rapist or trump is dishonest or trump is anything
0.95
00:33:35.220
whatever they say whatever they say that's an opinion you're you're fine if it's just an opinion
00:33:41.220
so if you say he is a certain bad thing well it's an opinion but if you say
00:33:48.260
that somebody that a court found him liable for rape and that is not technically true then you're in
00:33:55.940
trouble especially if you are a news organization
00:34:00.820
if you're a news organization and you've covered that specific news in detail
00:34:06.980
and that specific news never produced the the true fact
00:34:12.980
i'm saying it's not a true fact uh in that there was never a point where he was found liable for rape
00:34:20.500
i if i understand it correctly the liability was because he called her a liar
00:34:26.260
and then the court found in their opinion by a majority that uh that it wasn't a lie
00:34:35.940
um guilty or liable for rape they found him liable for lying about the situation according to the
00:34:45.380
jury and we don't know if they lied but uh as uh byron york pointed out if you look at the uh how many
00:34:54.500
times stephanophilus phrased his question with the phrase liable for rape he said it like 10 times
00:35:03.620
in about five minutes about 10 times he said liable for rape but he's liable for rape liable for rape
00:35:12.020
so that's how you know it wasn't an accident like if he said it once but maybe the other times he'd
00:35:17.380
put the nuance on it he'd probably be fine but if you say it 10 times emphatically and you're a news
00:35:23.780
organization and you work for the news part of the news organization and the news said that didn't
00:35:29.620
happen but you're saying it did happen 10 times in a row and it's the worst thing you could say to
00:35:34.100
somebody in public right in front of them yeah i guess you lose 15 million dollars i think this one
00:35:40.980
totally makes sense apparently trump liked that and he might be looking at suing 60 minutes and
00:35:50.580
in pollster and seltzer for election interference i guess but 60 minutes famously took a kamala harris
0.97
00:35:59.220
answer that was just word salad and they replaced the word salad answer with her answer to a different
00:36:07.300
question spliced it together and looked like she had a coherent answer to a question now can you sue
00:36:16.260
somebody for that because that certainly looks like election interference to me it was a an important
00:36:23.460
and a rare the rare part is important too it was a very important high level rare interview with kamala
00:36:30.580
harris and they completely changed the reality so that you would see a non-reality and vote on it instead
00:36:38.500
of a reality is that against the law well it's not against the law probably just lying but did it was
00:36:48.660
it intentional election interference well i guess we'll have to let a jury decide that maybe
00:36:54.900
because it definitely interfered with the election but it's also maybe free speech i don't know so i'm
00:37:03.620
not sure which way the the court case would go but there's certainly a claim there i mean that's a real claim
00:37:10.660
then the the one about uh uh the pollster and sells her i guess the argument there would be you'd have to
00:37:18.900
prove that she really knew that her poll results that said that kamala harris was way ahead in iowa
00:37:25.220
which was impossible um you'd have to say that she knew she was wrong and did it anyway meaning she was
00:37:33.140
trying to influence the election i would say the the evidence strongly suggests in a circumstantial but not
00:37:42.900
a proven way that it would be hard to explain what we saw unless it was intentional and the argument for
00:37:51.140
that for that is that she was such a good pollster if you're that good a pollster and you come up with
00:37:56.820
a number that's clearly out of the out of the field with all the other pollsters and you don't catch it
00:38:02.900
and you don't at least say we're not sure this is true or at least put a footnote on it like we don't
00:38:08.580
you know we'll see if this persists next week but we're worried maybe there's a problem here that
00:38:14.180
would be the way to handle that so should she be sued well i don't know it it looks crooked to me
00:38:23.300
but there's no evidence or proof let's say there's no proof of corruption because if her argument is i
00:38:30.660
just made a mistake and by the way i'm retiring you could argue that she retired because she
00:38:38.420
knew she couldn't maintain a reputation after this or you could also say that the reason she's retiring
0.98
00:38:45.140
is that maybe she thinks she's like losing a step and that that part of the reason for retiring is that
00:38:52.180
she wasn't confident she could do her job as well as she wanted to so whether that's true or not it
00:38:58.500
feels like it would be a pretty good defense so um i don't know that you could win on those but the uh
00:39:06.500
stephanophilus one was a real clear case but back to that it seems to me that stephanophilus and abc
00:39:14.340
are often associated with the let's say the fake news matrix meaning that they're definitely
00:39:25.540
inventors of fake news and maintainers of fake news so i think that what stephanophilus was doing
00:39:34.180
was there was probably some meeting and they said we have to say not that he paid uh eg and carol
00:39:42.500
but that we have to make it sound more rapey and that they said let's try this let's try libel for rape
00:39:51.060
even though he technically wasn't but he was liable for accusing no saying that accusing her of lying
00:40:00.740
but lying about the rape which is kind of close to being liable for rape it's like it's like the cousin
00:40:07.860
of it and the net the zip code next door but it's not so what's the way what is the best way we can
00:40:15.060
fool the public into thinking something that happened that didn't happen or maybe didn't happen
00:40:22.020
and i think that i think the phrase libel for rape is not a george stephanophilus invention
00:40:29.460
that he just liked to say i would say that that is professional work
00:40:34.020
that the that the party told him to say and then like a good party apparatchik he just repeated it
00:40:42.420
and repeat it and tried to make it a thing so everybody else would repeat it as well instead he got his ass sued
0.86
00:40:47.700
so maybe he got got a little too close to the sun there george bummer um i've heard separately that uh
00:40:59.300
that eg and carol did a uh she did a magazine cover for the atlantic um in which the headline said
00:41:08.820
you know here she is wearing the same dress she was wearing when trump sexually assaulted her in burgdorf's
0.78
00:41:17.780
so that was the claim that she still had the dress she has such a good memory of the event that she
00:41:23.540
remembers the clothes she was wearing still has it and uh wanted to show you wearing it to really make
00:41:30.340
her story land but it turns out that that particular dress wasn't even in stores or available until long
00:41:39.140
after the alleged sexual attack now do you think the do you think the jury or the judge heard the evidence
00:41:49.060
that she was claiming she was wearing a dress that did not exist at the time of the claim given that
00:41:56.180
the quality of her memory was mostly what was on trial because if everybody agreed she had a perfect
00:42:02.820
memory and was telling the truth well then drums guilty but really the whole trial was about are these
00:42:09.860
things you think you remember real clearly a major really major part of the case that she remembers
00:42:18.900
the details including what she was wearing have been debunked and i don't think the jury heard that
00:42:25.300
that so it makes me wonder um so this gets back to uh reed hoffman who funded um eugene carroll's case
00:42:40.340
that might be one of the creepiest worst things that's ever happened in politics from a citizen
00:42:47.220
you know short of actual violence finding this victim and resurrecting a charge and
00:42:55.140
selling it by by keeping important information away from the jury everything about this is the worst
00:43:02.980
of human activity this is really really bad dark stuff so reed hoffman probably has
00:43:10.900
some karma coming for him uh for this if nothing else
00:43:17.220
so biden apparently has uh pardoned or commuted the prison sentence of uh an islamic terrorist
00:43:24.180
he's the half brother of the billionaire hamas leader
00:43:29.060
let me say that again according to breitbart um joe joe biden has commuted the sentence
00:43:39.620
of the half brother of the billionaire hamas leader
00:43:43.620
and he was involved also in funding the terrorism so he wasn't just related
00:43:58.580
now some speculate and i think this is good speculation that this is not an independent
00:44:04.740
act but rather related to some negotiations about the hostages
00:44:09.620
you could easily imagine that part of the negotiations are that israel would have to
00:44:16.100
free a bunch of prisoners maybe america has some prisoners to free and this might be it
00:44:21.780
so it's probably in the larger context of a prisoner swap thing and something that
00:44:29.780
biden is trying to get done before trump gets it done
00:44:32.100
but this would definitely be negotiating with terrorists this would be negotiating with terrorists
00:44:44.660
i used to think it worked no i didn't i never thought it worked didn't didn't we didn't we all know that
00:44:51.620
negotiating with terrorists just never works ever
00:45:02.420
um so the tick tock is scheduled to go out of existence for american customers
00:45:10.900
in january unless something changes so tick tock filed an emergency appeal with supreme court
00:45:18.660
to block the ban and uh trump's looking at it and uh he's more favorable to tick tock because
00:45:27.780
tick tock helped him get elected he believes it because he got he got the youth vote and it
00:45:34.020
probably made a difference um so on on one hand here's let me break it down on one hand tick tock
00:45:41.860
is a chinese propaganda machine that is an existential threat to america so that would be an argument for
1.00
00:45:48.820
banning it is that it's an existential threat essentially a weapon in the hands of our
00:45:54.580
biggest adversary but on the other hand uh trump did do his trump thing where he grabs the gun out of
00:46:02.900
their hand and turns around and uses it on them so trump instead of you know banning tick tock or
00:46:10.820
wanting to he joined it did so well on tick tock that it helped him win the election so you can see why
00:46:18.180
he'd want to keep it but on the third hand we should take into account that a a major donor to trump to
00:46:27.140
republicans and trump in particular a major donor is also a major owner of tick tock in addition to
00:46:34.580
china it's uh um he's a investor he's got a lot of money in it so trump's protecting a a uh a donator
00:46:50.820
china does have the right of free speech in america right oh no it doesn't
1.00
00:46:57.140
all right here's an argument i'm going to make that i wonder i wonder if anybody has made on
00:47:04.420
this case so far because i think this will be the first time you've heard it
00:47:09.380
so china obviously doesn't have the right of free speech in america because they're not american
0.89
00:47:13.940
residents or citizens uh actually resident would be good enough i guess um but if china is managing
00:47:23.780
the algorithm then the algorithm determines what parts of people's free speech reaches whose ears
00:47:45.620
so the cumulative speech that's coming out of um let's put it this way
00:47:50.420
the individuals the american individuals using tick tock are exercising their freedom of speech
00:47:59.300
protect it but the the vehicle tick tock the platform they use since it gets to decide who
00:48:08.580
sees what by changing the algorithm the algorithm effectively changes the speech
00:48:14.420
because let's say you had 10 people saying uh israel must be uh must succeed and one message it says
00:48:24.900
israel must be destroyed but let's say china decides to show the one message instead of the 10 messages
0.94
00:48:32.020
whose free speech is that it's not really just the person who said it it's china's free speech
00:48:38.420
so china speaking through the algorithm that speaks through tick tock is exercising its freedom of speech
00:48:46.260
in america that it doesn't have china doesn't have free speech people do so let me say it a different way
0.91
00:48:58.100
individuals using tick tock if you knew that the things they said would reach a predictable audience
00:49:05.060
the one that they wanted to reach then that would be pure priest free speech and i'd actually be cool
00:49:12.420
with that but if individuals are saying what they want to say but then that doesn't get to who they
00:49:19.300
wanted to get to with a reliability that they'd like rather it gets massaged combined moved to some
00:49:27.060
people sometimes and some people other times who controlled the speech in that case
00:49:31.620
because in that case the the messages that are being received are mostly because of and managed by
00:49:41.220
the algorithm meaning china so it's not that citizens are using free speech on tick tock that's a minor
00:49:51.940
part of it the major part of it is that the speech collectively has to be analyzed as a collective
00:49:58.820
speech and we don't have a law that says if the average of your algorithm you know creates some
00:50:05.780
speech there's a law against it or or it's a right i don't know that there's any right about chinese
00:50:14.180
algorithmically managed speech is that a right they're not citizens and they're the ones controlling what
00:50:30.500
that's it for that um so there were rumors that rfk jr was opposed to the polio vaccine and he
00:50:41.300
he answered a question on his way to something he said i'm all for the polio vaccine so it was fake news
00:50:46.740
that he was opposed to the polio vaccine is it fake news that he suspects the childhood vaccinations in
00:50:55.380
general are dangerous that's not fake news that's real but his plan is not to ban him his plan is to
00:51:03.700
make sure we have the right data to decide what we're doing and that makes sense
00:51:08.900
but uh democrats are apparently afraid of science now which which is the perfect complete turnaround
00:51:19.540
i am old enough to remember when it was just an assumption that democrats had the good firm
00:51:24.820
grasp of science and the neanderthals on the right were just ignoring science left and right they were
00:51:32.660
science deniers but now you've got democrats who are opposed to rfk jr making sure that we have good
00:51:42.020
science for our health care decisions and they're against it
00:51:49.140
so i'm not so sure they're the pro-science group
00:51:56.260
well the mayor eric adams situation is getting interesting because
00:52:00.260
trump actually said that he'd be uh he was unfairly treated and he'd consider pardoning him
00:52:06.420
so democrat mayor eric adams of new york who has been strong on strong on the borders
00:52:15.300
strong against crime and uh and uh yeah now he's and he's against wokeness basically
00:52:25.220
so let's see strong on crime strong on borders and he's anti-woke and he's being law-fared maybe
00:52:36.980
what does that sound like to you a person who's strong on the border strong on crime anti-woke
00:52:45.060
and maybe getting law-fared by democrats that's a republican
00:52:49.220
he used to be a republican but i don't think he ever really changed because uh
00:52:59.140
so here's what i think might be happening i think it's entirely possible
00:53:05.620
that uh mayor eric adams will turn back republican in return for a pardon
00:53:13.620
i don't know if that's legal to offer something in return for a pardon but if what he offered was
00:53:21.220
you know if i get a pardon i'm just going to register as republican and we're going to go from there
00:53:26.980
because it would be a hell of a story hell of a story now i understand that he has he has some
00:53:34.020
democrat positions that you don't like so we're just keeping an eye on this i don't have a
00:53:38.820
a strong preference it's just a good story meanwhile bill maher on club random was talking to
00:53:49.380
a comedian guest actor whose name i can't remember but uh
00:53:55.860
but apparently bill maher is no longer suffering the worst of the tds so he's decided we might be
00:54:02.660
able to survive the trump era without losing our democracy so here's what he said on club random
00:54:10.180
bill maher and the truth is you're probably going to be able to keep doing that meaning just doing
00:54:15.940
normal life and no matter what's going out there in the world of course the worst thing could happen
00:54:20.980
trump could get into office and blow up the world on day one could happen obviously it won't he goes
00:54:28.420
but you know i'm not going through the same spiel i did last time like when it happens
00:54:34.660
wake me but i'm not giving my mind over to it again and i'll see what happens and here's the
00:54:40.740
here's the kill shot you ready bill maher says and one thing i've learned about the future
00:54:46.420
is that we're very bad at predicting it and whatever you think is probably likely to happen
00:54:50.980
probably isn't going to happen let me read that again one thing i've learned about the future is that
00:54:57.060
we are very bad at predicting it we we are are we bad at predicting the future
00:55:09.220
you and i and bill we because i remember over 70 million americans who got it all right in 2016
00:55:20.260
all right in 2020 but there weren't enough of them the other side won and all right in 2024
00:55:31.940
and he calls that we can't predict the future yes we can 70 million people got the future right
00:55:38.740
three times in a row and not just a little bit like completely right three times in a row it's the same
00:55:46.100
people who spotted all the fake news three times in a row right well actually 100 times in a row
00:55:53.780
so this this just fascinates the hell out of me because i think bill maher is actually chewing
00:56:01.540
through the wall of his prison and i think he's gonna make it out that you know i i would have
00:56:08.660
bet against it i would have bet against it but he is so close that he's gotten to the the barrier and the
00:56:15.540
the barrier wall is that the the future is hard to predict it's really not
00:56:25.620
not for 70 million people on the right they kind of got everything right for 12 years in a row if he
00:56:32.580
hasn't if he can't go that final the final step he can't get out of the he can't get out of his trap
00:56:46.100
i bill maher i'm bad at predicting the future because i've been reading too much fake news
00:56:51.860
we are not bad at predicting the future we're not perfect get lots wrong but we're pretty darn good
00:57:01.060
at it do you know why the do you know why the political right is better at predicting the future
00:57:08.420
because the political right is not suffering under a bunch of weird
00:57:13.300
you know illusions that they look at motivation so when you see elon musk he was posting the other
00:57:23.540
day about something you know it wouldn't motivate this i think it was if you if you hire somebody to
00:57:31.860
get rid of x x will never be gotten rid of because that's the person's job if he gets rid of it he
1.00
00:57:38.420
doesn't have a job so the incentive structure is hiring somebody to get rid of problem x will
00:57:43.220
guarantee the problem x never goes away because the guy's getting paid to stay there and fight it
00:57:48.580
not to not to beat it and go away so as long as as long as republicans understand incentives
00:57:57.540
and they also understand the news is all fake they're going to be in pretty good shape for predicting
00:58:03.460
the future if the democrats still think the news is real because they read the new york times
00:58:09.060
and they don't know that incentives are the only thing that makes anything predictable is the
00:58:15.540
incentive structure they will be wrong forever you just got to learn these two things the news is
00:58:22.260
intentionally wrong intentionally if you don't understand that it's intentionally wrong then
00:58:28.020
you're really gonna be lost because nobody makes that many mistakes accidentally
00:58:40.660
that's enough of that meanwhile derek chauvin's lawyers or derek chauvin himself maybe is he won the right
00:58:49.940
to re-examine the heart tissue and fluid samples from george floyd's body because there was one hypothesis
00:58:57.460
that somehow didn't make it to chauvin that there was some doctor who hypothesized floyd had a specific
00:59:04.980
kind of heart condition that would have killed him so if they can find that these heart tissue and
00:59:12.420
samples are suggestive of that specific heart condition then he's got a you know a cause maybe
00:59:21.300
overturning it or getting a pardon or i don't know something and i don't know if this is going to work
00:59:33.140
but i feel like trump's third act just needs it it just needs it i think trump needs to find out that
00:59:40.340
the climate change alarm was a little overdone he needs to find out that all the hoaxes were hoaxes
00:59:46.740
he needs to find out that the elections didn't have the integrity that people hoped for and he
00:59:53.620
needs and we need to overturn the derek chauvin thing maybe the daniel penny not guilty verdict was
01:00:01.860
you know getting us moving in the right direction
01:00:06.980
we'll see but uh trump's getting ready to run the table on all that stuff uh there's a rumor trump says
01:00:13.380
he might be considered not a rumor i guess the news he says he's considering the privatization of the
01:00:19.060
post office uh unusual wales was reporting that and um somebody said it's the the post office is a
01:00:28.500
garbage delivery service that's exactly how i see the post office so i've got this box at the end of my
01:00:36.260
driveway that every few days i have to go and empty and almost never almost never is it anything
01:00:45.380
but garbage it's literally just garbage in fact i like to check my mail on uh the day after garbage
01:00:52.900
day because on garbage day the mailbox is sitting next to my garbage so i just open up the garbage take
01:01:00.980
out the mail and put it in the garbage and that's that's my most efficient mail day now i do check
01:01:06.180
it to make sure there's there's nothing strange in there but at most i have maybe three things
01:01:14.820
three things that ever come to me in the mail that i care about and those three things easily could
01:01:20.820
turn into digital bills and you know emails so i don't really have a reason for a post office
01:01:27.780
do you yeah we have competing services and they would just pick up the difference so yeah
01:01:34.660
i think maybe getting out of the postal service business is exactly what 2025 requires
01:01:43.460
um meanwhile so here's the trump effect i've got a few trump effect stories so gavin newsom said that
01:01:52.420
california has been working to reduce costs in government and he's going to eliminate 62 000 positions in
01:01:58.900
california um they're government jobs but here's what he had the nerve to say this is gavin newsom
01:02:05.460
governor of california quote we've been working before before doge was doge it's like a promo project we're
01:02:13.220
going to eliminate 62 000 positions california is a leader in that space
01:02:17.860
so here's what comes after total capitulation so the democrat party completely annihilated
01:02:28.900
just nothing left and what you're seeing is that people are finding it might be safer
01:02:35.140
to embrace trump than to embrace democrats now that's fully destroyed he is he's actually went from
01:02:43.780
everything trump does is bad and he's hillary he's going to steal your democracy to all the way all
01:02:50.340
the way to we're going to do trump stuff better than trump we're going to do even more trump stuff and
01:02:55.620
sooner than trump that trump stuff is so good that i'd like to brag about doing the trump stuff even
01:03:01.620
faster than trump now how can trump win harder than that that's the hardest trump could ever win
01:03:10.420
instead of having somebody bragging on the you know on the defeated team having somebody bragging
01:03:15.860
that they're acting more like trump every day how do you win harder than that my god
01:03:23.700
but anyway also uh good work gavin newsom so i like to be the guy who doesn't say everything's
01:03:30.500
bad on the other team if this is real if they really eliminated 62 000 positions and it really makes
01:03:37.380
sense this is just good work do more of this please all right uh as you know reuters is a sketchy
01:03:46.820
organization and their news looks like it's you know uh it looks like it's intentionally just democrat
01:03:54.180
fake news but did you know that reuters is more than just um alleged fake news they also have some
01:04:02.260
side businesses and they have uh over 300 million dollars in government contracts
01:04:09.460
this is according to mike benz they have 11 different biden agencies targeting elon's business
01:04:17.220
and all 11 agencies are paid millions are paying millions to reuters so the same government agencies
01:04:25.220
that are weaponized against elon musk are funding reuters you all see what's going on here so reuters
01:04:36.340
man and then it gets better it gets better so i'm going to say the first two parts again so that when
01:04:42.260
i say the third part you'll you'll just like throw your phone across the room you ready for this
01:04:47.300
are you ready you better be sitting down for this i'll just read the first part again the but uh
01:04:54.820
so this is from mike benz the biden administration paid reuters over 300 million in government contracts
01:05:00.740
again for their side businesses and 11 different biden government agencies targeted elon musk's businesses
01:05:09.220
and all 11 have paid millions of dollars to reuters
01:05:13.140
and here's the third part wait for it reuters then won the pulitzer prize for their work on
01:05:27.860
no don't throw your phone don't do it no no don't do it calm down
01:05:35.140
is this real it's real yeah i bet ben joey shows the receipts when mike benz tells you something's
01:05:42.580
happening he always as far as i know he always has the the public publicly available link you can look
01:05:52.020
look and see it yourself so i think all of this is just public but but until somebody like ben's
01:06:00.740
pulls together the the different parts you don't see the picture do you you can't see the picture
01:06:07.220
until he shows you how it's connected to everything which is uh what would we do without mike benz
01:06:15.780
and the glenn greenwalds and the uh michael schellenbergers and the matt taibis um elon to some
01:06:23.860
extent david sachs but we now have this constellation of uh temporarily anyway right-leaning people
01:06:34.020
who all have this ability to see the entire field and all the connections we didn't have that before
01:06:41.380
yeah well i'll add mike cernovich to the list somebody who sees the connections uh jack pasabek
01:06:47.860
sees the connections um uh bannon in the war room he sees the connections so i could go on you know
01:06:56.580
with a dozen more names but the the ability of the political right to understand the whole field
01:07:04.580
and see all the connections is really really impressive at this point i i think they're
01:07:10.900
unbeatable for a while well you know the story about the radioactive material that went missing
01:07:18.740
near new jersey earlier in december and then we've got all these reports of the drones so some people
01:07:27.620
say those drones are looking for the cat 3 nuclear waste now first of all cat 3 nuclear waste doesn't
01:07:34.260
seem to be like a super dangerous kind i'm no expert but cat 3 isn't exactly a dirty bomb is it i mean
01:07:44.020
i'm not sure why i'm not i don't know that you can even weaponize it if you wanted to so i'll look for
01:07:49.460
a fact check on that if somebody could tell me later or in the comments could you weaponize what they
01:07:56.500
call cat 3 nuclear waste i think it's something from medical processes
01:08:04.260
what do you think can you weaponize that so but whether you can or not um here's what i know
01:08:11.620
you wouldn't use drones alone and you wouldn't use these kinds of drones to look for radiation
01:08:17.940
um i know that because it just i didn't realize this but i know somebody i know somebody personally
01:08:26.420
who was involved in looking for weapons of mass destruction in iraq and they were looking for
01:08:32.100
radiation signals and what we learned from that is that you would have most of the work would be in the
01:08:38.740
ground so it's not impossible that there could be an airborne element to it but i think even if in the
01:08:47.540
old days anyway in iraq they would have to drop down some kind of a sensor i don't think they could
01:08:53.300
just fly over unless they have some new tech we don't know about which is possible they might have
01:08:58.260
new tech but in the classic sense of looking for radiation you'd need to be on the ground
01:09:04.740
and you'd need to have your devices for looking for it on the ground flying a thousand feet in the air
01:09:09.940
or 500 feet in the air probably doesn't get it done if you're looking for a you know weeks signal so
01:09:18.100
i would say the um the coincidence of the lost materials is probably not related to the drones
01:09:25.780
i'm gonna i'm gonna say not related but here's some updates number one apparently what the government
01:09:32.260
the federal government emphasis on the federal government apparently the approach they're going to take
01:09:37.940
is that there there were never on any unusual drones so everything was either a legal airplane
01:09:46.340
or a hobbyist drone or a commercial drone but nothing actually happened there was no unusual activity
01:09:53.700
whatsoever and that will be their story now this is fun for me because you know i like the persuasion and
01:10:04.420
the uh the you know all the the psychological elements of the story could it be possible
01:10:13.540
even remotely that there was not a single unusual drone now i'm going to say i haven't seen anything
01:10:21.700
that convinces me i saw any unusual drones on any photography or any video i've seen things that
01:10:29.140
people who were there in person who took the pictures say oh this was not normal didn't look
01:10:35.460
like a plane it was too low too many of them and that sort of things but i haven't personally seen
01:10:42.660
anything but you know shady videos that look like regular planes or regular drones or something so i
01:10:50.100
haven't seen any evidence of drones have you just think about that i've been following the story and i
01:10:58.020
haven't seen any evidence of drones that i would consider reliable but here's the thing that is
01:11:06.020
reliable the people who are standing there at the moment and saying i'm standing here and i'm looking
01:11:11.860
at a sky that doesn't look normal here's what's happening these things are these things are hovering
01:11:18.340
the hovering might be a mistake the hovering might be that they were just in the distance coming
01:11:23.380
toward you and they look like they're hovering but actually they're just getting close to you slowly
01:11:28.580
so is it possible that this is a hundred percent mass hysteria is that possible because here here's why
01:11:38.260
i'm resisting it i'm resisting it because i didn't see it and that's sort of my job i feel like it's my job
01:11:48.020
when when a mass hysteria forms that i should be the one to tell you informed and i've been saying i
01:11:53.780
don't think so i don't think so did i get taken by this did did i get taken by a mass hysteria
01:12:03.380
and again i'd like to emphasize that including individuals that i know personally when they're
01:12:10.500
standing there looking at it they'll tell you very clearly this stuff is not normal whatever we're
01:12:15.860
looking at this is not not normal which is also very persuasive so here's what i think might have
01:12:25.700
happened this is pure speculation what i think might have happened is they had to do a lot of
01:12:32.580
training or maybe they were testing some new technology for drones but that it was real it was real and it
01:12:39.940
did last for over a month but now they're done or they need to do less of it or they found another
01:12:47.140
place to do it so now that the sightings will be decreased because they don't have the need to do it
01:12:55.460
um they can say it never happened and they can walk outside and say look i don't see anything
01:13:01.860
nothing happening now and all those videos you sent where the pilots are all saying they're just
01:13:06.980
airplanes apparently pilots are having a good laugh at the whole situation because the professional
01:13:13.940
pilots believe they're experts and they believe that they can tell looking at a picture that it's
01:13:18.820
definitely planes or or ordinary drones or i guess here's a perfect example um governor the former
01:13:28.660
governor of maryland um was posting a video of some drones that he was watching
01:13:34.660
that turned out to be the stars uh beetlejuice and bellatrix
01:13:39.780
so the former governor of former governor of maryland couldn't tell the difference between stars
01:13:49.060
and vehicles and that's probably what a lot of people were doing so i'm i'm gonna
01:13:58.900
i'm gonna be right on the fence on this one i don't know how much of this was mass hysteria
01:14:05.460
i'm guaranteed that 95 of it was mass hysteria so i don't know about the five percent but i'm sure
01:14:12.740
that most of the sightings were airplanes that i'm sure of that most of the sightings were airplanes
01:14:18.660
that still leaves plenty of room for mysterious drones that were more than we've ever seen
01:14:25.300
so i'm gonna go with the government was definitely doing something like trump said the white house
01:14:31.540
knows exactly what they were doing probably training we're testing out something and they're now they're
01:14:37.220
done because they had an immediate need but they met their immediate need uh probably preparing for war
01:14:43.780
i hope it's in the middle east and not here and
1.00
01:14:50.020
now the government can claim it never happened they'll just debunk all the photos and videos
01:14:55.860
say no no it's just a it's just a bad photo and a bad video nothing happened and then you won't see
01:15:01.620
anything happening at the moment so you won't be able to get any new or better pictures
01:15:06.820
so they can just say nope never happened you imagined the whole thing they are going to tell
01:15:13.300
us we imagined the whole thing but we might have imagined the whole thing that's actually possible
01:15:23.460
so i i've got you know the the two conflicting feelings uh one is that
01:15:29.780
it's hard for me to imagine so many people saw so many things and it was a mass hysteria but that's
01:15:37.940
what makes the mass hysteria work the reason the mass hysteria works is that people say things like i
01:15:43.700
just said well i can't imagine so many people would be fooled from a direct observation yes so many people
01:15:51.940
can be fooled very easily in a direct observation um also a little fake news uh i was one of the
01:16:01.860
people who said hey biden's preemptive pardons are crazy there's so many of them because he had like
01:16:07.220
over six thousand of them when other presidents had a few hundred and then somebody said that um
01:16:14.100
uh oh no he had over eight thousand i guess somebody said that uh the vast majority of them
01:16:18.980
were people in jail for weed related offensives is that true are are most of the volume of the
01:16:27.380
biden um pardons are coming commuting sentences are those for weed related things because if they are
01:16:34.980
then i'm okay with it and and i would say why didn't trump do it basically so that might have been fake
01:16:41.380
news that his pardons were out of control they might so in the end his his number of like individual
01:16:48.020
pardons might be comparable to the past but if he did a whole bunch of marijuana people at once
01:16:55.700
i'd call that good i'd say good for you um but um as jonathan totally points out if if biden is planning
01:17:06.980
a blanket pardon for his entire administration which he might be um he might do that because he's afraid of
01:17:16.100
lawfare um which he should be and it might create a situation where every president can give preemptive
01:17:24.900
pardons to his entire administration which would mean there would be no accountability whatsoever to
01:17:31.540
any administration for anything because they would just all get pardoned so we may have we may have
01:17:39.460
drifted into a really bad situation we'll see if we can manage this probably can but yeah if biden does
01:17:46.740
literally preemptive pardons for his entire administration
01:17:52.420
it's going to be hard to imagine that trump wouldn't do the same thing and then what do you have
01:17:59.300
anyway apparently the german government just collapsed with a no confidence vote and that's not too long after
01:18:05.940
the french government collapsed with a no confidence or the collapsed i guess and uh now there are reports
01:18:13.060
that uh justin trudeau is considering resigning why is this all the is this all the trump effect
01:18:27.620
because i think maybe he did and here's why i think if the other countries look at america and they
01:18:38.820
say wait what's trump doing he's closing the border really he's closing your border he's saving america
01:18:47.700
by closing your border we need that wait what else is he doing he's unleashing the energy production in
01:18:55.460
his country to lower all their prices wait we need that he's tough on crime
01:19:05.060
wait we need that he's for free speech we need that it might be it's too early to say but it might be
01:19:16.580
that when people see that trump is offering and delivering a package of goods that they desperately need
01:19:23.380
need desperately need in their country how about nuclear power do you think there are any countries
01:19:29.060
in europe that are anti-nuclear power or looking at us and saying um they look like they're going strong
01:19:35.780
into nuclear power yeah i i think that trump by existing and being so right on all the common sense stuff
01:19:46.020
these are all common sense things close the border common sense crime common sense nuclear energy
01:19:52.820
common sense there's no politics in any of that and i would imagine that's those are universal messages
01:20:00.980
because everybody likes those things you know they like more energy if they know the right way to do it
01:20:06.260
so maybe other other other governments specifically the you know so-called democratic countries they might
01:20:16.660
all fall because they all got woke they all got under control and watching america lead and this is america
01:20:23.860
leading let's let's be clear about that america doesn't always lead i i think europe leads in food safety
01:20:31.860
for example so we don't lead in everything that's for sure but we're leading like hell right now uh
01:20:39.620
trump trump leads like he's really good at it you know as much as trump got credit for being uh come from
01:20:48.900
behind kind of you know came out of left field the first time and then came from behind the second time
01:20:55.140
the thing he doesn't get enough credit for is that once he's secure in his power
01:21:02.020
he's one cool cucumber he he is so much in his exact element where everything he's ever screamed that he
01:21:12.020
wanted you to believe you now believe everything he yelled about you now think is just common sense
01:21:20.180
he won everything he won everything so he's comfortable and it looks like it and i think
01:21:27.140
other countries are going to say give us one of those you've heard this probably it's going around
01:21:32.580
on social media but uh former cia person sarah adams no relation um says united states is not ready for
01:21:40.660
the kind of terrorist attacks that are certainly coming and she says there'll be swarming attacks
01:21:46.660
and there are new thinner blow-up vests so you're going to see more people wearing exploding vests in
01:21:56.900
the united states and uh that the people were fighting mostly the radical islamist types are going to
01:22:04.260
fight until they get killed because they expect to die and she says if multiple waves of these kinds of
01:22:11.540
attacks broke out at the same time around america we'd be really unprepared and really in trouble
01:22:18.980
now i think she is right that there will be coordinated multi-city attacks but i still think it's going
01:22:26.500
to be by drone and i still worry that it's going to be a chemical attack because if they crop dust
01:22:33.780
enough cities at the same time with any material that looks like it's dangerous the country's going to
01:22:40.340
fall apart because you won't be able to get out of the city the traffic will be immediately it'll be
01:22:46.420
a mess so i think that's where it's headed multiple attacks at the same time some somewhat like the
01:22:54.580
the october 7th thing so now you've been warned i'd uh i would get a gas mask um if you don't have one
01:23:04.660
that's that's serious by the way i don't know where you get one but if you could get a gas mask that
01:23:09.460
would protect you from any airborne aerosol poisons i would get one for each of the family members
01:23:17.540
and one for the dog because it's sort of guaranteed not in your town but it's kind of guaranteed that
01:23:26.260
somebody's gonna get a drone with some chemical or biological agents and start sprinkling it somewhere
01:23:33.060
um so i would be equipped for that uh i wasn't following the romania thing but apparently america
01:23:45.300
once again is trying to control another country successfully i guess so romania had an election
01:23:51.700
and it got canceled um because america and nato want to build a huge nato base in romania that is
01:24:00.180
pointing right at crimea did you know that it would be uh by a factor of two it would be the biggest
01:24:11.620
nato base anywhere would be the biggest one and if you could imagine imagine the black sea like a like
01:24:21.700
an oval and then crimea sort of dangles down like a scrotum so crimea is like the scrotum of the black sea
01:24:32.580
just sort of dangles down well they want to put this gigantic nato base on the the left side of the potato
01:24:40.900
facing the scrotum how happy is russia gonna be if crimea is is like a short walk from the biggest
01:24:53.620
nato base i mean i'm exaggerating it's not a short walk but it doesn't look good so apparently we really
01:25:02.100
need this and so america seems to have uh beaten away the election challenger and now it's a now
01:25:18.980
so the question that i ask about the neocons and the the plans for russia and all that
01:25:25.300
um do we really think we can defeat russia militarily are we actually trying to overthrow
0.66
01:25:33.940
the entire country militarily and control it from for the rest of time are we really doing that and
01:25:40.980
you know it would sound crazy except we do this routinely we just do it with smaller countries like
01:25:48.260
romania so but is that the plan is is the the golden plan to just conquer russia and try to fool them
01:25:57.780
into not using their nukes somehow so i don't know you know i i don't seem probably seem to you like i
01:26:08.820
speak out against our evil military colonial ambitions and it's because i'm not sure they're bad
01:26:16.020
they're evil they're 100 evil but i don't know if it's bad for me because this concept of controlling
01:26:27.940
other countries probably works to some extent doesn't work every time
0.99
01:26:36.260
but i you know i've said before if your country is not expanding it's shrinking
01:26:40.740
there's just no other way to go you're either growing or you're shrinking so if this is how we
01:26:47.780
grow like trying to dominate other countries well what's the alternative none of it's good
01:26:55.860
i mean the the whole business of geopolitics is dirty business
01:27:03.140
all right colonialism is good people are saying
01:27:10.740
all right we should do it without being detected
01:27:21.060
i think you either expand or you die it was true of trump
01:27:41.940
well switzerland is the exception that proves the rule
01:27:46.100
if switzerland had anything that anybody wanted it would already be conquered
01:27:50.820
can we agree on that if switzerland had anything that anybody important really really wanted
01:27:55.940
they would already be conquered so switzerland wins by being the banker for all the bad guys
01:28:04.420
so the bankers of the bad guys don't get attacked because the bad guys need bankers
01:28:09.300
so it's really a special case you know there's certainly no argument uh there's no good argument
01:28:16.340
for staying um unaligned in the long run that doesn't work somebody somebody will whack you
01:28:23.060
all right ladies and gentlemen did i forget anything today i believe i've covered everything important
01:28:30.260
