00:00:10.240 flat kind of flat all right well then we'll do a show get our own excitement we don't need a stock

00:00:20.260 market good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:43.380 coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance

00:00:49.160 and in elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny

00:00:55.920 human brains all you need for that is a copper a mug or a glass a tanker chalice or stein a canteen

00:01:03.080 jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for

00:01:10.100 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine today the thing that makes everything better it's called

00:01:15.300 the simultaneous imp and it happens right now go

00:01:19.260 spectacular

00:01:27.300 well open ai and nvidia the two giants in the ai business are planning a combined hundred billion

00:01:38.340 billion dollar ai project that will require the power of at least 10 nuclear reactors

00:01:47.780 according to uh ars technica uh benj edwards writing about that so it says this enormous enormous project

00:01:58.180 do you wonder if they know for sure that that would pay off do you think they know enough

00:02:04.500 the people who are closest to it the ai experts to know that if they put a hundred billion dollars into

00:02:11.460 it and they and that that's not even counting the that's probably not even counting the nuclear power

00:02:18.660 plants right um do they just sort of know that there's no way that could be anything but a good

00:02:26.020 good deal for them makes me wonder we'll see well football retired football quarterback tom brady

00:02:35.380 and his business partners are investing in a robotic massage uh massage robot

00:02:44.500 so it's a robot you lay on the table like a regular massage and it massages you and it learns about you and it

00:02:52.340 sort of figures out your body and where it would feel best and everything and apparently it's already

00:02:59.620 it already exists and it's already in production already in the field and it works but you're probably

00:03:07.300 saying to yourself i'm not going to enjoy it if a if a machine does it isn't it the isn't it the

00:03:15.060 human touch that's sort of the whole point of it well i'll tell you uh right on the other side of my

00:03:22.420 computer i have a high-end massage chair um it's like really high-end very expensive and

00:03:31.780 uh i gotta tell you every time i use that it is just floods me with i don't know what uh whatever

00:03:41.220 happiness chemicals you get when you get a massage it is really effective i mean you don't you'll you'll

00:03:48.020 want to just sleep it off for an hour after that thing so if they made a better one that's like a

00:03:53.780 big arm that massages you would i like it even more i don't know the one i got is pretty pretty darn

00:04:01.860 good i don't know how it could be better actually

00:04:03.940 well meta the company has introduced a ai based uh i guess you could call it a dating app but it

00:04:15.540 won't work like regular dating apps i guess it's sort of chat based and you can tell it

00:04:21.380 you know exactly what you're looking for and it'll go off in the internet probably just on facebook and

00:04:27.700 look for somebody who meets all those qualifications wouldn't that be amazing that you'd have ai being

00:04:36.260 like a real matchmaker so it wouldn't be like you know tinder or hinge or okcupid or any of those it

00:04:42.980 would uh it would be more like a person that just happens to be ai and knows a lot about a lot of people

00:04:50.260 so we got that my suggestion is to cut out the middleman and just date the ai directly

00:05:02.180 i mean it sounds funny but let me ask you this if you had to compare spending time with whoever the ai

00:05:12.020 decided you should spend time with or spending time with the ai which one would you do

00:05:19.140 well it's pretty close to a toss-up at the moment so i think the real win for a ai would be to cut

00:05:28.020 out the middleman and become the date well you've probably already heard that abc and jimmy kimmel

00:05:36.340 have agreed that he will be coming back in the air tonight now not all of the affiliates that would be

00:05:43.620 the local stations they're not all going to automatically run it although that could change

00:05:49.140 by tonight but the sinclair group and nextar um they may not but they are also not the majority of

00:06:00.340 the stations so they would still have plenty of stations but they would lose maybe i don't know 20

00:06:07.700 or something if the sinclair doesn't participate it doesn't seem to me that there's any possibility

00:06:17.380 that they could make money on kimmel since they weren't making money anyway but if they lose

00:06:23.060 another 20 of their local affiliates i don't think there's any chance that they could make money so

00:06:30.900 i don't know what they're up to um here's uh here's my final take on it i doubt it'll be final um i'm glad

00:06:40.660 that he's going to be back on the air now i know you don't like it i know i know what i'm saying and i

00:06:48.260 know you don't like it but this was uncomfortably close to something in the free speech domain

00:06:56.900 it wasn't it was never it was never a question of free speech because the fcc has a mandate to police

00:07:05.620 the speech of the three networks it's actually their you know their lawful legal job is to make sure that

00:07:14.420 the three broadcast networks um don't do something that would be bad for the public that means that

00:07:22.740 it's their job to censor them so you can't say hey the government censored me when that's actually

00:07:30.820 specifically their job for those three limited resources that not everybody could have at the same time

00:07:38.020 so it's not it was never really a free speech question but it was uncomfortably similar to one or

00:07:46.980 reminded you of one or made you feel like you were living in one and anytime there's a gray area

00:07:53.540 i would default you know to free speech but remember it was up to it's a business decision

00:07:59.700 ultimately so my opinion about it doesn't matter your opinion doesn't matter

00:08:04.500 but i'm going to give you the kill shot on this topic are you ready here's the kill shot

00:08:10.980 if i have not changed your mind that it should be appropriate or at least allowable that jimmy

00:08:18.740 kimmel goes back in the air here is the thing that ends the debate you ready

00:08:29.140 what would charlie kirk have wanted if he could tell you what he wanted would he want jimmy

00:08:36.100 kimmel to be off the air because of what he said i don't know i mean we we can't know for sure

00:08:44.740 but i would say 99 chance that charlie kirk would have said you know what um i forgive him it was one

00:08:53.460 little slip and i think he took enough heat that he learned his lesson maybe maybe i should go on his show

00:09:01.700 i think if charlie kirk were here i mean obviously that's uh logically impossible as well as actually

00:09:09.620 impossible but if he were here he would say can i go on your show and we'll talk about it because

00:09:16.500 that's who he was right so do does it make sense that you or i should be opposed to it when you're

00:09:28.020 probably pretty sure he would not have been because you know in many ways he's better than us

00:09:35.300 i hate to admit it but yeah the reason that he's so beloved charlie kirk he's just better than us

00:09:42.900 in in a whole bunch of ways that's probably one of them so if you can tell me that you honestly believe

00:09:50.740 that charlie kirk would be happier if jimmy kimmel got you know destroyed career-wise and all the

00:09:58.820 people who work on his show lose their jobs i don't think that was charlie kirk was it you know if you

00:10:07.540 disagree with me i'd love i'd love to hear the counter-argument but i feel that if you believe that charlie

00:10:14.500 would have handled it differently kept him on the air and engaged him in conversation which is what i

00:10:20.500 think he would have done if you disagree i'm open to the argument but if you don't disagree then i think

00:10:29.220 that the let's say the respectful play the the way that you could most respect the memory and legacy

00:10:39.700 of charlie is to do what you think he would have done right i'll bet you hate how much that convinced

00:10:48.100 you and also i don't want to see the staff lose their jobs the staff didn't do anything right there

00:10:55.700 are a few dozen people on the staff and i was thinking about um you know i have an empathy problem

00:11:03.860 sometimes like too much of it i was imagining how jimmy kimmel felt when he knew that he wouldn't

00:11:12.820 personally be that affected by it because he's made his money by now but the staff the staff would be

00:11:19.380 struggling imagine knowing that you're the reason your your own stubbornness or stupidity 0.64

00:11:27.140 you probably thought of it that way cost i know dozens of people that you really really

00:11:32.980 like you know they're your staff cost them all their jobs because of some dumb damn thing you did 0.82

00:11:39.940 imagine how that would hurt like if you were a normal person who cared about other people

00:11:44.740 that would really hurt so if you imagine that jimmy kimmel just had a you know a few days off and then

00:11:51.460 he's just back to work and everything's good i i wouldn't you know i wouldn't discount the fact

00:11:58.020 that that must have been really painful not for himself i don't think he probably worried

00:12:02.900 too much about you know paying his own bills i doubt that was too high on his list but i'll bet he

00:12:09.460 cared a lot a lot about what it did to the staff so anyway

00:12:19.940 that is my final word um

00:12:24.100 now you might say but would he grant you the same uh grace to which i say that's not my

00:12:33.700 that that's not my standard my standard is to be better than him

00:12:40.260 my standard is not to be as good as him it's to be better than him you know the charlie kirk way

00:12:46.420 the charlie kirk way is to be the better person it's not to compete with the ugliness

00:12:51.860 all right

00:12:57.700 did you lock the front door check close the garage door yep installed window sensors smoke sensors and

00:13:02.980 hd cameras with night vision no and you set up credit card transaction alerts a secure vpn for

00:13:07.940 a private connection and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web uh i'm looking into

00:13:13.780 it stress less about security choose security solutions from telus for peace of mind at home

00:13:19.220 and online visit telus.com total security to learn more conditions apply um you know the story that

00:13:27.620 allegedly tom holman took fifty thousand dollars in cash in a in a bag uh for potential services later

00:13:37.540 should he become his current job and should trump have gotten elected so this was before trump got

00:13:44.980 elected and before he was in his job um do you know what the white house's response to that story is

00:13:51.060 is it never happened the response is not he took the money but it was a you know that's when he was a

00:14:00.260 consultant and maybe he didn't do anything that was illegal it's not that they say it just didn't happen

00:14:07.620 there was no transfer of money he didn't get any money do you believe that that's a pretty bold claim

00:14:14.820 if the if the allegation is allegedly on video the allegation is that it was a sting operation which

00:14:23.460 would mean that somebody in the fbi literally had the video of the transfer of money in a bag do you

00:14:30.180 think that if that exists and there's any chance that somebody would have access to the video and maybe

00:14:37.140 got a copy do you think that they would just say no never happened there was no transfer of money whatsoever

00:14:42.820 i don't know that they must be pretty confident that nobody can prove them wrong because it's a i mean

00:14:52.260 it's a binary it's yes or no it either exists or it doesn't exist but i am willing to believe

00:15:00.820 that the white house is correct and maybe it doesn't exist it could be that they offered him the money

00:15:06.660 and he didn't give a hard no nor did he give a hard yes so maybe maybe somehow that got turned into

00:15:15.780 well he sort of took it even though he didn't take it i don't know couldn't be anything

00:15:22.500 um california is the first state to require masks on law enforcement and the border patrol enforcement

00:15:31.860 people and uh i feel like they made a little mistake with that law so let me see if i understand this

00:15:42.340 it would be illegal for these border patrol uh or border enforcement people ice i guess to uh wear masks

00:15:52.020 but there's no law against wearing makeup right can the women wear makeup i think they can no law against 1.00

00:16:00.660 that would there be a law against somebody wearing a fake beard well a fake beard is not a

00:16:08.740 it's not a mask i don't believe that's covered how about somebody who put a fake nose and glasses on

00:16:17.380 so you couldn't see their their eyes or their uh nose well i don't think that's really a mask is it

00:16:27.140 what about fake boobs supposedly uh all the all the guys put in fake boobs and makeup and eyelashes

00:16:36.660 and then they said oh no we're not doing border enforcement we're running a trans event it's a trans

00:16:44.020 event because they'd be wearing you know boobs and fake eyelashes and makeup but then they'd say 1.00

00:16:50.660 a trans-portation wink wink so i'm just saying that the ice could uh fight to work around just turn it into a

00:17:04.580 dress-up uh trans event trans-portation yeah all right i'm being silly well as you know uh trump and rfk

00:17:17.220 jr had a big announcement yesterday of what they found out so far or believe they know about autism

00:17:25.540 and uh boy did this get interesting so uh there are several things first of all they said that

00:17:32.420 tylenol um is not as let's say not as proven safe as they would like it to be and so some studies

00:17:42.660 say that uh if a pregnant woman takes tylenol or the acetaminophen so there are other companies that

00:17:49.860 make it besides the tylenol company but uh there's a bunch of studies that suggest that it's correlated

00:17:58.740 and therefore causation um but there are other studies that say nope there's no correlation at all

00:18:09.700 but uh i think it was a harvard group looked at all the studies and found out that there was at least

00:18:17.700 in their opinion there was more evidence that there is a connection than that there isn't do you know

00:18:25.460 do you know what it's called when you look at a whole bunch of studies instead of just one you look

00:18:31.460 at the the bunch of them what's that called that's called a meta study what if i taught you about meta

00:18:39.780 studies they're they're not a science that's not a science a meta study has too much opinion baked into

00:18:50.900 it even though you don't think so the way the opinion is baked into it a meta study which is a

00:18:57.060 study of all the other studies is that you have to make a decision about um which studies to include

00:19:06.660 so for example if there was one study that was much bigger than the others they said they sort of

00:19:12.420 they sort of weighed all the studies by the number of participants so if there's one that was like

00:19:17.460 a hundred times bigger than all the other studies put together well you don't really need to look

00:19:22.900 at all the other studies because the one would buy us you know the total so much then let's say there

00:19:29.300 was one that went one direction the study that went one direction another study that pointed the other

00:19:34.420 direction but you as the researcher said hmm i don't think this one study was done with high enough

00:19:41.220 quality so in my opinion it should be left out of the bunch and then because you left it out

00:19:49.700 it biased it in the other direction so was that a science or was there something about your opinion

00:19:56.260 that decided what was in the studies and really you're measuring your own opinion of what should

00:20:01.700 be in the studies and you're not actually measuring any kind of average of the studies

00:20:05.460 studies so in general meta studies are in my opinion not terribly reliable but to the credit of the

00:20:16.260 administration they're not saying we have proven the connection so i like that they're not saying

00:20:24.100 they are not saying we've proven the connection what they are saying is it's a sort of a scary

00:20:32.660 indication of what we're seeing and if i were you i wouldn't be taking tylenol if i were pregnant

00:20:41.220 although the the doctors just a lot of them not all of them some doctors i don't know what percentage

00:20:48.180 disagree because the the risk of not taking a painkiller might be could turn out to be worse than

00:20:56.580 the risk of the painkiller for example if you don't treat something with tylenol

00:21:02.420 and the other painkillers are also not allowed when you're pregnant so it's your only option if your

00:21:08.420 only option to be back the inflammation in the pain is tylenol then you've got this tough choice because

00:21:16.980 the inflammation in the pain might cause its own set of problems it could be the same as it could cause

00:21:24.340 autism some people speculate um so it could be some say that it's not that what you're measuring is not

00:21:33.140 so much the tylenol but what you're measuring is that they had an underlying condition that required

00:21:40.500 tylenol how would you know the difference suppose there's some you know fever or inflammation problem

00:21:48.020 that's common enough and that people would normally take tylenol for it wouldn't it look like the

00:21:55.140 tylenol was the problem but really it was the underlying inflammation because the people who didn't

00:22:00.500 need the tylenol also didn't have that underlying inflammation thing so there's all kinds of uncertainty

00:22:09.220 um but trump um in his trumpian ways is basically saying don't take tylenol don't take it um you know

00:22:18.740 he he admits that his his uh administration does not say that he's just telling you as your leader as

00:22:27.620 your president which i kind of like as long as it's clear that this is me saying this this is not the

00:22:35.460 medical people the medical people the medical people are saying you know use your judgment use it when

00:22:40.100 you need it use it at the lowest amount talk to your doctor and those are all the responsible right

00:22:46.500 things trump's giving you the common sense don't do it but like i said your doctor might say you know this

00:22:58.260 in your specific case it's worth a little risk so at least at least they're honest about you know leave

00:23:06.500 it to your doctor all right so see what else there's also uh

00:23:17.140 also let's see when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners

00:23:23.780 i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with 1.00

00:23:29.940 the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full

00:23:35.860 price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket those

00:23:42.020 shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning winners find fabulous for less

00:23:49.860 um there's there's also a new drug that's being rolled out for i don't know if it's every kind of

00:23:58.740 autism but some and then you got uh we don't know if that'll work yet but i mean it's approved there's

00:24:06.020 a new approved drug for autism that looks like it could help some if not all patients um and then i guess

00:24:16.580 trump suggested spacing you have spacing out and delaying some vaccinations that are common vaccinations

00:24:23.860 that typically everybody gets the science behind the spacing of it so you don't get them all at once

00:24:32.020 also i believe is not proven but trump again is being commonsensical and saying if you don't have to

00:24:39.380 give them all at the same time can't you reduce one risk by not doing it at the same time well there is

00:24:48.340 a counter to that the counter argument is if you have let's say you know four vaccinations that are

00:24:56.820 really good idea that we know individually are good if you don't give them at the same time the odds that

00:25:03.300 they don't get the the second dose that would be the other two goes way up so if you say well you

00:25:11.540 only have to get one shot you could probably talk parents and the kids into it even though it's a

00:25:17.140 combination of lots of different shots with uh unknown unknown directions so you could get a higher rate

00:25:26.580 of people getting the shots if you combine them but you have a higher risk because they're combined

00:25:34.260 now the higher risk i mean the higher unknown i shouldn't say risk i should say there's a higher

00:25:40.180 unknown but there is science whether it's valid or not that shows that even can combining the shots

00:25:48.980 doesn't make a difference of course there is some study that showed it made no difference

00:25:54.740 for autism is that study valid we cannot trust any of the studies in this domain i wouldn't trust any

00:26:05.220 i wouldn't trust any of the studies that's why i have to look at 46 of them and use magic to try to

00:26:12.260 figure out which ones are real um however let's see what else also hepatitis b they would wait to not you

00:26:22.820 know ideally not give it to kids until they're about 12 because it's a sexually transmitted disease

00:26:29.220 unless you got it from your mom at birth which which can happen you don't need to be protected and it's

00:26:36.580 routine i believe to screen the pregnant mother for hepatitis b so you could know in advance whether

00:26:44.340 they're you know that newborn needs a shot or not all right so those are all the things i think there's

00:26:52.660 you know generally in the right direction but i'm going to give you a alternative for you

00:26:57.620 that uh you can make your own opinion on so this is from a x user named cremeu a french french word

00:27:09.940 cremeu now i mentioned him before because his uh his analytical abilities are incredible

00:27:18.180 um and so when he has a a alternative point of view on something in the news it's definitely worth

00:27:29.380 listening to doesn't mean he's right so here's a here's a long list that i printed out from his x account

00:27:39.220 of his argument for why it might be that there is no increase in autism but we only think there is

00:27:48.420 now before i give you this you know the the wonky nerdy explanation of why he thinks maybe the data is

00:27:55.140 all wrong um i will acknowledge that if you talk to any school teacher today they would say uh there's

00:28:05.380 there's at least one autistic kid in every class now every class of 30 people just there's at least one

00:28:12.580 and when you were when people like me were children we believed that that was not the case we believed

00:28:19.780 that that was rare i mean i didn't even know any when i was a kid so the lived experience of the people

00:28:27.860 who were closest to this world teachers are 100 sure oh yeah there's a gigantic increase and i feel

00:28:37.220 like you see it in your own life right don't don't we observe it directly so even though i'm going to

00:28:43.300 give you a wonky argument that maybe it's not a it's not a big increase um there's a very compelling

00:28:53.380 case that it is very compelling you know it's not like rfk jr didn't look into this so i took all of

00:29:00.340 these reasons why maybe it's not a real increase and i fed into grok so that when i talk to you today

00:29:08.100 i could go down the list and say grok says this is bs grok debunked this grok says no uh do you know

00:29:17.220 what grok said he said true or mostly true or partly true for every one of these

00:29:24.580 so just remember when i when i read these off to you i'm not saying they're true because remember

00:29:34.100 this is a domain in which you just there's just no way to know what's real uh so i don't claim that i

00:29:40.740 know all right so here are the claims autism is being diagnosed more and more with each ear grok said yes

00:29:49.380 uh autistic traits are not any more common than when the dsm-3 first introduced modern diagnostic

00:29:57.860 criteria in 1980 grok said yes true older prevalence estimates are based on inconsistent diagnostic

00:30:07.860 criteria so we can't really compare the the past to the present because they didn't measure the same

00:30:14.500 things okay that that doesn't mean it's going up or down it just means you wouldn't know um

00:30:23.780 here's the one that stopped me cold when researchers go out and attempt to diagnose

00:30:29.380 everyone who has autism they they find equal prevalence estimates for youth and adult now

00:30:37.780 if that's true there is there is no increase in autism if you simply went out and said i'm gonna

00:30:47.140 get a random sample of people some of them were 70 years old some of them were eight years old and then

00:30:53.860 you just looked for symptoms of autism you would find according to creme you and whatever study he's

00:31:04.820 referring to that's not mentioned uh he he claims that you would find that the 70 year olds and the

00:31:11.300 eight year olds have roughly the same amount of symptoms if that's true then the only thing that's

00:31:18.500 different is diagnosis diagnosis if you know because there's no way that the 70 year olds and the eight

00:31:25.620 year olds would have roughly the same autism symptoms uh unless it had always been here

00:31:32.420 um because they're not getting it at 70 you know what i mean uh let's say

00:31:39.940 um familiar familial control studies show us that no vaccination has any causal relationship with

00:31:48.580 autism so cremeu believes that vac vaccinations have not been correlated with autism um which which would go to

00:31:58.660 the point that there's not a increase because of vaccinations if this is true now if you're just

00:32:05.540 joining i'm not claiming any anything i say here is true this is cremeu's argument and he is very good

00:32:13.540 at arguments and data so it's it's a he's a good source um he says that uh the rise in autism has

00:32:24.900 overwhelmingly been due to non-severe varieties non-severe varieties so you if you had a little

00:32:33.620 bit of it you could probably function in the world and get along in the old days life was simple

00:32:43.060 so let's say let's see let's go way back let's go back to the you know farming days of our early

00:32:49.380 early early american experience if you were a farm hand you didn't even have to own the farm or make

00:32:57.220 the hard decision here's the farm hand how hard would it be for someone with a minor non-severe version

00:33:04.580 of autism to simply spend a lot of time alone not make a lot of conversation do their job and get paid

00:33:13.300 and nobody would think anything of it you just say it's a different personality so it seems to me

00:33:21.940 that in the modern complicated world if you had a little bit of autism it might really trip you up

00:33:28.900 and people would really spot it because it'd be things you don't do or things you can't do

00:33:34.980 but back when everything was simple and all you did was milk a cow and you know cause some grass

00:33:40.740 of course nobody even noticed would they um so to driven by classifying people with other conditions

00:33:51.860 as autism some of that um and apparently if you add a monetary incentive to schools if they if they have

00:34:02.900 people who are autistic suddenly the number of autistic people in the school jumps by 25 in a single year

00:34:10.580 because the the uh funding follows the autistic kids so if you say you have more autistic kids you get

00:34:19.220 more funding for those kids so of course follow the money would give you a 25 increase without any real

00:34:27.540 increase in the the condition uh no environmental toxicants have been found

00:34:36.900 um no here's one uh adoption studies indicate that there's no apparent parental influence on kids

00:34:46.580 autistic traits but there is parental influence on the child's likelihood of receiving a diagnosis

00:34:53.220 so the kids that who your parents are will not make a difference about whether you have it but it'll make

00:35:01.860 a difference about whether you get diagnosed

00:35:03.700 what's that what's that tell you all right

00:35:10.900 uh

00:35:14.180 i want to do to non-severe what else so that's that's the basic idea now when you heard those

00:35:22.980 when you heard those explanations do they sound compelling to you

00:35:26.580 does the the the alternate explanation that no you just you're measuring it wrong does that sound

00:35:34.260 compelling it would sound compelling to me it would if there weren't so many teachers and parents

00:35:43.540 who can tell you there's no way there's not more of this it's just everywhere all the time now and

00:35:50.580 every group of 30 has one so i'm inclined to think that there is something real that's happening

00:35:59.540 but i have to admit that's a pretty strong argument and it's coming from somebody who's

00:36:04.180 not wrong a lot so you know i just put that out there to show you that all data is fake as i tell you often

00:36:13.140 all data is unreliable so the autism medicine is called the leacovorin leacovorin and if you

00:36:28.260 happen to have cerebral folate deficiency which i guess must be a partial cause or maybe an effect of

00:36:36.420 autism supposedly it can help and then the national institute of health is going to launch a big autism

00:36:44.180 data science initiative so they can learn more and that sounds good i'll tell you what i like about this

00:36:50.340 the most um you could argue all day long about whether what trump and rfk jr have done so far

00:37:00.100 is the right answer done enough should they have done something else are they looking at the right

00:37:05.060 studies blah blah blah those are all good questions and concerns

00:37:14.340 sorry i've got to get rid of something

00:37:21.860 there we go

00:37:25.620 all right i have an update and correction on the charlie kirk magic bullet question yesterday i told

00:37:32.660 you with great confidence incorrectly that he probably almost certainly had a metal chest plate

00:37:40.500 and the bullet probably hit it and ricocheted up and hit his neck turns out i have much better information

00:37:47.460 today there definitely was no uh like there was no vest there was no metal plate so that that comes from

00:37:55.220 the people closest to him so there definitely was no metal pit uh i've also learned from now three different

00:38:03.540 sources that i consider highly reliable that if you're trying to figure out the path of a bullet

00:38:10.660 when it enters a body it could be anything so people are advising me the people actually know

00:38:17.620 you know they've shot things and they've they've seen a lot of wounds and they killed a lot of wild boars

00:38:24.180 like alex jones has alex jones has killed he estimated 90 wild boars that he's personally shot to death

00:38:33.860 that's a lot of mammals but apparently if the bullet from that kind of a rifle which could be a variety of

00:38:40.900 different bullets so if it's a hollow point versus some other variety you would get a you know a

00:38:47.060 different uh fact pattern if it's all a point it probably wouldn't leave a body um it probably maybe

00:38:54.740 it would still go through a neck but the angle of attack appeared to be down and so the uh if i understand

00:39:02.660 it correctly the the neck wound was the enshu wound but the bullet went into the body may have

00:39:10.740 may have destroyed his uh vertebrae and bounced around a little bit in his body or not bounced around

00:39:17.940 necessarily intact but maybe in you know in pieces so the um i don't want to say the good news but the the

00:39:29.220 obvious uh the obvious conclusion is that he died immediately because the internal damage was extraordinary

00:39:39.780 and um probably bones were hit so the you know the bullet or the shards bounced around so i believe

00:39:48.340 that answers every question except why would the entry wound be so large because that's not that

00:39:55.460 doesn't make sense so i'm still waiting i i guess i still have to ask that question but it does seem to

00:40:01.940 be and i would say that my sources at this point are insider sources so we're talking about people who

00:40:08.900 you know have talked to charlie's uh widow and you know gotten the real story because the widow knows

00:40:15.940 right she knows what's going on erica um but i believe that question has been now answered sort of

00:40:26.260 mostly well kamala harris trying to sell her stupid book um was on maddow show and i forgot how much fun it 0.98

00:40:36.340 was to play is she's stupid or drunk and once again i couldn't tell she was either being extra 0.75

00:40:45.460 stupid or she was drunk you know i know you're gonna say but scott it could be both yeah i know it could 0.65

00:40:52.660 be both but uh here are some of the things she said and uh oh my god did we dodge a bullet she is so

00:41:00.580 stupid and so incompetent that it just it just screams when she's on tv now i mean i guess maybe 0.81

00:41:09.060 we got used to it and we're used to joe biden so seeing massive incompetence it just didn't stand

00:41:16.420 out so much you know compared to biden but boy does it stand out now so maddow who is uh famously

00:41:27.220 in the lgbtq community um she wasn't happy because uh she said uh to harris to say that uh he was

00:41:38.900 talking about buddha judge not being picked because he was gay uh she said to say that he couldn't be on

00:41:45.540 the ticket buddha judge effectively because he was gay it's hard to hear now imagine you're maddow 0.89

00:41:52.260 and you've been massively supporting harris and then you find out that harris wouldn't put uh pete

00:42:00.580 buddha judge on the team because she thought the gay guy couldn't win 1.00

00:42:06.180 and harris goes no no no that's not what i said with the stakes being so high it made me very sad but i

00:42:14.180 also realized it would be a real risk so she denied that she kept him off because he was gay and then

00:42:22.100 she confirmed in her denial that she kept him off because he was gay drunk or stupid or both

00:42:31.540 or both who answers that way no it didn't happen and it totally happened and doesn't realize that

00:42:39.220 that needs to be cleaned up a little bit nope nope

00:42:42.980 so there's that and then the she described drunk uh trump as a dictator and a tyrant and

00:42:53.140 you know then she said they gotta fight fire with fire what exactly would it mean to fight fire with fire

00:43:01.460 if you're saying trump is a dictator and a tyrant is that not a call for violence

00:43:07.700 because what exactly is the fire that you're going to fight the fire with if you're fighting a dictator

00:43:14.340 and a tyrant i mean that sounds a little violent-y to me um

00:43:23.860 and she also claimed that she had quote had a certain responsibility to tell biden not to run

00:43:29.860 uh but she admits she engaged in what she calls recklessness because she didn't want to be seen as

00:43:37.300 self-serving but everything about that is wrong i mean how in the world did she get that close to the

00:43:45.940 presidency you're all just watching my cat now aren't you

00:43:50.020 so that this cat is roman with the blue collar hey roman i i spend the first part of the day

00:44:02.340 with my other cat on my lap likes to be on my lap when i'm when i'm getting ready for the show

00:44:08.740 but roman now likes to likes to join us all right um

00:44:17.620 so andy no is reporting in the post-millennial he's writing that uh antifa could soon be branded a

00:44:27.460 foreign terror group so um i guess they're already designated a domestic terror group or something

00:44:34.660 but that doesn't have any teeth if they're if they're branded a foreign terrorist group which

00:44:41.940 looks like that's imminent then i think that opens up a number of tools that can be used against them that

00:44:48.660 otherwise wouldn't so that's coming and it would allow sanctions uh overseas against networks and

00:44:57.860 individuals etc and uh i i saw a post by somebody called clandestine uh war clandestine is the the

00:45:09.780 account and uh clandestine says do you see it trump is neutralized into the deep states playbook

00:45:17.060 first he cut off their money supply via usa id and foreign aid and going after uh going after the

00:45:24.980 funding of soros so those would be like the democrats piggy banks and uh now clandestine says

00:45:32.340 now he's shutting down their brown shirts antifa now the reference there is to color revolutions the idea

00:45:40.260 that soros and the ngos and the other dark funding mechanisms fund uh people to protest

00:45:49.220 protest so that it can look like whatever it is they want looks like uh the public might want it too

00:45:55.940 so they they basically organize protesters with money but if you take away the soros money

00:46:04.020 or you defang it and you make antifa the fake i'm going to call them fake protesters because i don't

00:46:12.180 think they're organic in the least so if you take away the fake protesters in the street and you take away

00:46:17.700 the money um that goes a long way toward getting rid of the people trying to overthrow the government

00:46:24.980 on a regular basis well trump uh has uh spoken out against the uk for uh the uk decided to recognize uh

00:46:39.700 palestine as its own state i guess and uh trump says that uh britain's recognition of palestine is

00:46:46.660 nothing more than a quote reward for hamas it does nothing to free hostages or anything like that

00:46:54.980 so now the countries are allies that have accepted palestine as a state include britain france belgium

00:47:03.940 canada australia and portugal so it's starting to make the usa look like we're a little bit

00:47:11.620 um on our own there there's still lots of other countries that haven't done it but

00:47:17.540 fives a lot anyway so trump's gonna talk to the u.n general assembly today

00:47:25.620 um and uh some say that he's sort of boxed in by that stuff maybe we'll see anything could happen

00:47:34.260 um hamas has cleverly made an offer directly to trump not through israel to if if he can get a 60-day

00:47:44.980 pause that uh a 60-day pause in fighting if he can get that done then the hamas will release half

00:47:54.340 of the hostages uh we believe there are something like 20 hostages still alive and then a bunch that

00:48:01.540 would just be the the bodies but uh 20 living hostages and they would offer to release 10 i guess

00:48:08.580 ish um if he gets a 60-day pause what do you think do you think there's you think trump's gonna take that

00:48:16.500 deal no i i don't think israel will let him take that deal even if he wanted to

00:48:21.940 um but it's very clever from hamas because it puts a wedge between israel and the united states

00:48:28.900 because trump really really likes releasing hostages not just these hostages but he's got

00:48:36.580 this great track record of being able to get hostages out and he brags about it so hamas cleverly thinks

00:48:42.740 uh there's no way trump is going to say no to a sure thing it'd be a sure thing 60 days uh of not

00:48:53.460 fighting for half of the hostages and uh we don't know that there's any response but i think it only

00:48:59.940 matters what israel thinks of it uh turkish president erdogan who as you know was a member of nato

00:49:09.140 um was asked in interview do you consider what's happening in gaza a genocide erdogan says there's

00:49:15.940 no other explanation this is a full-fledged genocide and then yahoo is responsible

00:49:24.260 and the question that i ask is what would it be if hamas were the dominant military and israel was

00:49:32.580 just you know hiding in tunnels would that would there be a genocide in that direction yes of

00:49:39.540 course there would hamas has been very clear that it would be a genocide as soon as they have the 1.00

00:49:45.220 ability to do it so my take is genocide is bad with the single exception that if the other team is saying

00:49:56.420 directly and consistently and for years if you if we get a chance we are going to genocide you so hard

00:50:05.540 what else are you going to do it might still be a genocide but you have to genocide a genocide

00:50:13.780 how else would you stop it because if the only thing that will stop them from killing you

00:50:18.500 is you know completely taking them off the field what are you going to do

00:50:26.820 so russia has been shooting down ukrainian incoming drones like crazy including a number of them were

00:50:33.140 heading toward moscow now how would you feel if you lived in a major city anywhere and on a regular

00:50:41.940 basis your government had to shoot down incoming exploding death drones like even if they got them

00:50:49.540 all would you ever feel comfortable going outdoors i mean it feels like it'd be really uncomfortable

00:50:57.780 so makes me wonder if the population in moscow is starting to feel the war in a way that they

00:51:05.860 hadn't felt it before you know i think moscow you know is most of the opinion that matters

00:51:15.300 so i guess they their anti-aircraft destroyed 81 ukrainian drones in one night and that's a lot

00:51:28.420 sweden says that they're prepared to shoot down any russian jets that wander into their territory because

00:51:34.420 as you might know uh for reasons that i'm not entirely clear about the purpose russia has been

00:51:41.940 quite consciously wandering into the airspace of other neighboring countries so estonia poland romania

00:51:50.980 you know russia just keeps accidentally flying into their airspace presumably putting pressure on

00:51:59.060 or maybe testing defenses or both or what but sweden says if russia flies over their space they're going

00:52:07.300 to shoot it down no they say no warnings and no excuses do they mean it i don't know we might find out

00:52:17.220 i saw a post by alex prompter who says that google is right on the border of revolutionizing education

00:52:27.060 apparently google has launched a uh ai um i guess an app or a program called learn your way so what it

00:52:36.980 does is uh it it gives a very personalized lesson to each student based on what they need basically so

00:52:46.020 if you have a different learning style you know if you need a mind map or an audio lesson the timeline

00:52:51.060 that you can click around on or or quizzes that will change based on what you know and what you don't

00:52:56.900 know and that sort of thing so they tested it on 60 high schoolers and it worked great apparently every

00:53:04.740 one of them said it made them more confident scores were up and uh so basically if ai could adapt

00:53:14.820 it's a teaching method for each person and maybe each day you know maybe one day is different from

00:53:22.500 another um the the potential for how well you could learn things uh apparently is really good so that might

00:53:31.940 be a a big deal because you know in my opinion the the terrible school system is one of the biggest

00:53:40.740 things that holds back you know people were born into poverty is that they can't that they can't

00:53:46.660 necessarily use school to escape and if you can fix that by making it sort of universally possible that

00:53:56.500 everybody can get this kind of education with ai um then you would solve one of the biggest problems

00:54:03.940 in the country and they may they may have solved it you know we we may see that uh that instead of

00:54:12.100 regular classrooms maybe you just go to a pod of you know a dozen people that decided to be in the

00:54:19.140 same pod because none of them are travel makers and you just sit there for two hours a day learning stuff

00:54:26.020 and maybe that's all you need because you've heard that before right that you could compress the entire

00:54:31.780 school day into two hours if you knew how to do the two hours right i totally believe that there's

00:54:38.980 no way that you're learning more than two hours worth of content in a school day so if you could compress

00:54:45.140 it yeah that'd be quite a day well sarah adams no relationship to me is former cia intelligence

00:54:54.980 expert you may have seen her own podcast she says the terrorists are already set up here in america and

00:55:00.900 they're planning on a major attack on the homeland now she's been saying this for a while and uh

00:55:08.100 long enough that you might say to yourself but scott you don't need to be a former cia intelligence

00:55:14.740 expert to say that terrorists will eventually do a big attack on the homeland you know if you don't

00:55:22.820 know when it's going to happen or those specifics we all could have made that same prediction so as long

00:55:30.980 as you're not held to the date uh or the approximate date that's a pretty safe um it's a pretty safe

00:55:39.860 prediction however you want to get really scared now uh i hate to do this but this seems like an

00:55:49.060 unrelated story but i'm not so sure apparently the secret service has found that there is this

00:55:55.860 massive site in new york somewhere near new york city where there was a building with a whole bunch

00:56:02.260 of equipment in it that was designed for no other purpose than to disrupt cell networks all over new

00:56:09.540 new york city and the thinking was that maybe had to do with the united nations meeting coming up

00:56:16.740 to which i say would that really be worth it if they if they built this expensive complicated facility

00:56:25.300 do you think that the best use of that would be to make the cell phones not work at the un

00:56:30.500 does that seem like that would be what the plan was i've got a better suggestion that will scare you

00:56:39.780 it could be that the the the plan to turn off the cell phones all over new york city could be related

00:56:48.580 to that big terror attack if you were going to do a big terror attack and you had the option you would

00:56:55.940 turn off the cell phones in that area so that the first responders couldn't help and then nobody can

00:57:02.580 figure out what's going on to figure out how to get out of the city so even if there was an escape let's

00:57:07.940 say there was you know one path to get out of the city you you wouldn't know because your cell phone

00:57:13.940 didn't work nothing would work so the funniest not funny it's not funny at all but the oddest part of

00:57:23.300 this story is that they're not even speculating who put that facility there was it al-qaeda if al-qaeda built

00:57:32.740 that thing then yes it was part of a larger attack plan which means that they're really really serious

00:57:40.100 about whatever the next one is they're not going to mess around um but if it was maybe

00:57:47.380 some black hat hacker group maybe it's something they were using to make money somehow which would be

00:57:56.740 bad but not nearly as bad as a joint attack with al-qaeda that also takes out your phones so

00:58:08.180 that's scary i hope we find out more about that soon

00:58:11.620 well trump is uh said to have a victory on big pharma because there's a new drug coming out from

00:58:20.020 bristol myers squibs that will cost the same all over the world so the united states will not be

00:58:26.740 you know paying the 10 times more than other places and they're saying it's you know because of the

00:58:32.340 president uh but it's only one drug bright bar news is reporting on this um it's a schizophrenia drug

00:58:41.780 cobenfi it's going to launch in the uk and uh i guess the list price will be the same as in the u.s

00:58:51.300 so i don't know what happens with all the other drugs aren't they supposed to eventually be the same

00:58:57.780 price everywhere or are they only doing the new ones something wrong with that story all right here's

00:59:05.060 a story that could be nothing or it could be everything uh the gateway pundits reporting this

00:59:10.820 patty mcmurray that uh new jersey man has somehow succeeded in getting a million documents from 1.00

00:59:17.780 detroit's 2020 election he did this he'd been doing this long foia request thing but he finally got them

00:59:24.740 so he got a million documents that includes copies of absentee ballots and signed envelopes um

00:59:33.380 basically there was a picture of him with the back of a truck open just you know tons of documents and

00:59:40.180 and detroit is uh considered by some as one of the places that a cheat happened in 2020 presidential

00:59:50.740 election election now i'm not saying that because i don't personally have any evidence of that

00:59:57.220 however um if these million documents pay off the way the individual who got these documents

01:00:06.740 thinks they will there will be proof that the election was stolen

01:00:13.380 so do you think that they gave him anything that would show proof that the election was stolen

01:00:19.940 or did it take so long because they had to look through it to make sure they didn't give him anything

01:00:25.700 that would prove the election was stolen they just give all the other stuff i don't know

01:00:35.060 yeah i don't know so we'll see um according to newsmax money the way we calculate the

01:00:44.900 the inflation is wrong and if we did it right it would look a lot higher i remind you that all data is

01:00:52.020 fake so we don't know about autism because we don't trust the data we don't know about uh we don't know

01:00:59.540 about uh um inflation because we don't trust the data we don't know about the election in 2020 because we

01:01:07.860 don't trust the vote totals do you see any pattern developing here there's no data that's reliable

01:01:16.420 now that's something i've always known because i worked in jobs where it was my job to collect the

01:01:24.500 data that was accurate and one thing i learned right away it didn't matter what the domain was

01:01:31.380 it didn't matter what the source of the data was it was always inaccurate and we used it anyway

01:01:38.980 because you got to do something you can't you can't just say i don't know we're just going to

01:01:43.860 guess from now on so uh yeah all data is inaccurate or unreliable

01:01:52.500 well you know we're heading toward another uh government shutdown possibility because we'll never

01:01:59.220 agree on a budget of course and the government funding as it is expires on september 30th

01:02:05.940 and there are too many large differences between the democrats and republicans

01:02:10.340 and it's groundhog day all over again uh i would expect to see some posts from thomas massey

01:02:18.660 reminding us that there's no chance that congress will act responsibly and come up with a budget

01:02:25.860 that is you know the product of their negotiating and reduces the deficit which is their main thing that

01:02:31.940 they have to do uh yeah uh but anyway so if it's like every other time they're going to do another

01:02:45.620 continuing resolution they're not going to cut the budget they're not going to make any decisions and

01:02:51.060 they'll just kick the can down the road because that is apparently all they're able to do

01:02:56.340 and that ladies and gentlemen is all i have to tell you oh that's pretty good i was shooting to end at

01:03:03.700 eight o'clock missed it by one minute that's pretty good for not watching i feel like i have this little

01:03:11.060 internal clock that's that's weirdly accurate yeah it's a kick the can cr all right what else are we saying
