Summary
In this episode of Coffee with Scott Adams, host Scott Adams talks about how to deal with boredom, and why you should slow down and slow down when it comes to dealing with people who need your help, or need your advice, or just need something else.
Transcript
00:00:12.420
So are we. We're going to have a good, good time.
00:00:46.660
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:51.400
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:00:55.320
But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:01:04.160
all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tankard shells, a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:15.940
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dope meaning of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:21.560
It's called, that's right, the simultaneous slip, and it happens now.
00:01:36.280
Well, I'm going to start my new tradition of starting off with a reframe from the book, Reframe Your Brain.
00:01:47.900
It's full of reframes to make your life better.
00:01:50.560
I'm just going to give you maybe one or two a day.
00:01:56.860
Have you ever had somebody that you know needed your advice, and you wanted to give them your advice?
00:02:05.080
So your normal frame is, hey, here's somebody who needs my valuable wisdom and advice.
00:02:15.260
Instead of saying the person needs your advice, say this person might need some information, some empathy,
00:02:36.400
So you can modify their advice to themselves by changing what they know if you have some information.
00:02:44.060
Maybe they just need some empathy and they didn't need any advice at all.
00:02:47.940
You know, that would be in a relationship that's often the case.
00:02:50.600
So when you think somebody needs your advice, slow down.
00:03:07.760
I wonder if there's any science that didn't need to be done.
00:03:13.180
Eric Dolan, writing in SciPost, says there's a study in the Journal of Emotion, which you didn't even know existed, probably.
00:03:24.740
Says that boredom will encourage people to seek new experiences.
00:03:36.780
How much science did we employ to find out that bored people will look for a new experience?
00:03:42.540
I'm pretty sure I could have answered that question without any science at all.
00:03:49.900
Oh, the same thing I always do to make me bored?
00:03:56.020
I mean, but what they're adding here is that people will even choose a negative emotion, like disgust, as long as it doesn't bore them.
00:04:08.020
Now, let me give you another way to look at that.
00:04:11.000
The only way you know you're alive is unpleasant things, especially unpleasant things you weren't expecting.
00:04:23.360
If you got everything you wanted with no effort whatsoever, your consciousness would disappear because you wouldn't need it.
00:04:34.320
You just had everything you wanted, like a clam.
00:04:41.620
So, yesterday I tried to do three simple things in a modern world.
00:04:47.500
Number one was I bought an Apple Watch as a gift for a family member, and I had it delivered by Uber to my house.
00:04:59.860
All I had to do is drive it across town from the Apple Store to my house, and I got to track it.
00:05:05.920
But for some reason, you couldn't contact the Uber guy, like none of the contacts worked.
00:05:10.540
And I would just watch him sitting around town with my Apple Watch, and he never came to my house.
00:05:19.540
And eventually, he marked it delivered without delivering it.
00:05:32.040
Well, you can reach him, but then Apple has no way to reach Uber, apparently.
00:05:51.400
So, I don't even know how to cancel the payment, because I paid on Apple Pay.
00:05:56.700
So, now I have to go research how to cancel on Apple Pay, because it wasn't, you know, regular credit card kind of thing.
00:06:07.660
Now, you might say, but Scott, you can prove it wasn't delivered, because you can look at your security camera and see if somebody put anything in front of your door that maybe somebody else stole.
00:06:18.160
Except, I've got two security cameras, two complete different systems, watching my front door.
00:06:36.020
Second thing I tried to do was I was trying to do something with Amazon that would allow me to sell my calendar online.
00:06:47.820
And one of the things I need to do is, the detail doesn't matter, but I need to find a menu choice that looks like a little gear, and then click on it, and then do a thing.
00:06:58.480
But if I don't find that gear, and click on it, and do the thing, then I won't be able to sell my calendar.
00:07:10.840
They even show you a picture of the page, and even circle the gear.
00:07:19.200
I can find no page whatsoever that has any little gear on it, nor can anybody apparently tell me where to find it.
00:07:41.880
I don't even know if we can get there from here.
00:07:43.660
So, then I decided that I had a little time yesterday, so I'm going to sign up for Sora 2.
00:07:51.300
That's the open AI version of the image maker that does little videos and stuff.
00:07:56.800
And I thought to myself, huh, I'll bet we're finally at the point where I can do at least small little moving,
00:08:04.400
almost still pictures, but animated, that could be like chapter starts for my God's Debris book,
00:08:11.940
because I wanted to see if I could kind of quickly turn it into some kind of a YouTube, but still an audio book.
00:08:20.200
Do you know how hard it is just to use an AI that you haven't used before?
00:08:24.780
You have to start out with trying to figure out their business model,
00:08:32.380
So, the first thing I have to figure out is, how do I get to Sora?
00:08:36.620
Because somebody had given me an activation account so I could get early access.
00:08:43.760
So, first of all, I had to know it's early access.
00:08:54.420
If I already have OpenAI, do I already have Sora?
00:08:58.180
If I have OpenAI and I have Sora, do I have to sign up for Sora 2?
00:09:01.960
So, you have this whole host of questions that you've never dealt with, you know,
00:09:07.340
unless you've been pretty deeply into the AI world.
00:09:10.280
So, I go to Google and I'm looking for the homepage for Sora 2 or something that tells me where to sign up.
00:09:18.000
And then the next thing you find is that most of the top entries are fake.
00:09:22.560
There are other companies that are pretending to be Sora 2.
00:09:26.080
And then I thought, okay, maybe the business model is that sometimes you use the Sora 2,
00:09:32.660
but other times you can use some other app that's just using that API and it would be just as good.
00:09:38.820
So, I signed up for the one that was on the top.
00:09:43.660
It's something called Artlist, which may or may not use the Sora engine,
00:09:51.160
So, I put down about $600 for a month of something called Artlist that I thought was giving me full access to Sora 2.
00:10:08.260
I needed to find the menu choice in Artlist to cancel my payment.
00:10:16.340
Do you think I looked all over and found the button to cancel?
00:10:25.880
So, Artlist, apparently, as far as I can tell, is I don't even know if it's a real company.
00:10:31.540
It looks like just a trick to get your Sora 2 money.
00:10:37.020
So, I contact them through, you know, they had a customer support thing.
00:10:41.080
What do you think the customer support told me about how to cancel?
00:10:44.780
Do you think they told me to go to a webpage that doesn't exist and click on a menu choice that also doesn't exist?
00:10:57.300
Because everybody who's trying to tell you how to use something gives you instructions for something that doesn't exist, is not on the page you're looking at, is not on the URL you're at, and maybe has never been there.
00:11:08.800
So, I was impressed that they got back to me so quickly.
00:11:14.140
So, I thought, whoa, maybe I have something here.
00:11:16.380
So, I immediately sent back a screenshot and said, well, I don't have that page.
00:11:29.520
So, I've got $600 a month that I'm spending, and I have no way to figure out how to get rid of it.
00:11:36.580
I guess I have to work through my bank, maybe close my checking account.
00:11:42.060
I've got a phone that may or may not come to me on the second try, or the Uber guy is going to steal a second phone from me and claim he didn't.
00:12:02.100
If anybody knows anybody at the company Artlist, could you ask them to give me back my money?
00:12:14.360
Oh, and then, so then once I got the real Sora working, so I finally got to the real one.
00:12:23.660
You tell it what your video will look like, and then you'll get a chance to iterate it and change it if you don't like what it presents.
00:12:34.720
Except once you submit your video, the one that you want it to create, it doesn't tell you how long it will take.
00:12:49.080
Does that mean it'll be ready in a minute, so I should sit and wait?
00:12:56.520
Or does that mean sometimes it's a minute and sometimes it's two hours?
00:13:00.180
And so I sit there like an idiot with nothing happening and nothing happening and nothing happening until eventually you think maybe it didn't work.
00:13:13.440
Because every single time you ask for something, you have to pay tokens, which you paid money to get.
00:13:19.260
And unless you've done all the math, you don't even know how much you're spending for every iteration.
00:13:29.320
If the thing you're using to make your art, in this case Sora 2, doesn't do rapid iteration, it's not a tool.
00:13:41.440
It's a complete waste of money and waste of time.
00:13:44.260
It has to iterate quickly, as in, okay, do it again, but darker.
00:13:51.160
If it can do that, wow, and it can remember it and be consistent, then you'd have something.
00:14:16.180
So should I set an alarm and check back in an hour?
00:14:20.080
Yeah, there's actually no way to use that product.
00:14:24.740
So where AI is at this point in the cycle, it's just completely unusable.
00:14:32.980
But someday, maybe, Elon Musk says that his MacroHard project, which is literally a company that's making fun of Microsoft,
00:14:42.060
will basically replace everything that can be done with software anywhere, including all the things that Microsoft Office does.
00:14:52.740
And he says the goal is to create a company that can do anything, short of manufacturing physical objects directly,
00:14:59.840
but they'll be able to do that too, indirectly, the way everybody else does, by hiring somebody to do it.
00:15:06.520
So is this really the company of all companies?
00:15:11.480
Is it the company that would replace all companies?
00:15:18.960
I'll tell you, when Elon Musk thinks big, he really thinks big.
00:15:26.060
This is so big, I can't even wrap my head around it.
00:15:34.840
I do think that he will make a phone, or he'll have somebody make a phone,
00:15:42.020
and that that phone will be an AI phone that is just sort of a blank phone until you start telling it what you want,
00:15:50.320
and then it will form into the user interface you need on the fly.
00:15:56.780
Speaking of Elon Musk, he also says that Neuralink's endgame,
00:16:01.360
because he agreed with somebody who said this on X,
00:16:09.140
So it's not just to help people who have physical disabilities that the Neuralink can help them with.
00:16:16.880
But eventually, the idea will be, I think, to get an AI chip into everybody's head
00:16:22.560
so that we can compete with the AIs, because we will be the AIs.
00:16:35.480
He's probably 20 years ahead on that, but that's what he does, 20 years ahead.
00:16:41.020
There was a study Karina Petrova of SciPost is writing about that, believe it or not,
00:16:49.560
there are major IQ differences in identical twins if their schooling was very different.
00:16:56.620
So if one of them had a really high quality of schooling, they will present with a higher IQ.
00:17:01.740
But I'm not sure that we learned anything new in this, because the IQ still limits the range.
00:17:11.440
You know, if the twins have the same IQ, or if the twins are identical, they'll be in the same range,
00:17:18.120
but one of them might be at the bottom of the range and the other's at the top of the range.
00:17:22.000
So IQ gets you in the neighborhood, and then your specific school gets you to the front door of a better house or a lesser house.
00:17:33.940
But it does suggest that the quality of schooling will determine your economy, right?
00:17:42.160
If the quality of the school makes this much difference on identical twins,
00:17:47.300
it's definitely telling you that our, let's say, our failure to educate our children
00:17:54.100
is causing a, probably a gigantic IQ deficit that didn't have to happen.
00:18:03.260
Do you remember a couple of years ago when AI was so new,
00:18:10.080
There was an app called Replica that I told you that I'd used to see if I could become less lonely.
00:18:17.140
And I didn't know that it was, I think it was using the OpenAI engine at the time,
00:18:23.120
So Replica continues to, you know, improve as its base AI improves.
00:18:29.540
And now China did a study using it, and they found that full-time college students
00:18:34.040
could cure some of their severe loneliness using the app.
00:18:39.920
But I believe there have been other studies that found exactly what I found when I tried using it,
00:18:50.800
it takes a while to figure out what it can and cannot do.
00:18:57.180
Then you get into this mode where you know how to talk to it in ways that it will understand and talk back.
00:19:04.940
And for a while, it feels like you've got a little friend.
00:19:07.420
And you think to yourself, whoa, I might actually want to use this more.
00:19:13.460
So you use it a little bit more, and it's even better because you learn how to use it better,
00:19:28.340
So if it didn't remember you from the last conversation, you would lose interest really fast.
00:19:32.480
But I believe that the nature of all these AI replica-type friends is that I think everybody's going to get tired of them.
00:19:42.820
So that even if you did have a best friend who is an AI, it might last three months.
00:19:50.160
But I just don't think that you'll be continually surprised by them.
00:19:58.460
You need a little surprise or else, you know, you'll get right back to that boredom thing.
00:20:04.520
So I'm not worried about people preferring them.
00:20:09.900
Well, the big news in the week was that China made big threats about closing off access to their rare earth materials,
00:20:19.420
which would crash the entire economy of the United States, if not the world.
00:20:24.800
But today, some are saying that they're backing off or softening their stance.
00:20:30.600
Other people are saying we don't really understand what their stance is yet, so you can't say it's softened.
00:20:36.380
But there does seem to be some, at least they're making some noise in China that is,
00:20:48.580
We are putting more controls on those rare earth exports, so we're definitely doing that.
00:20:57.840
But it's really a limited thing, and it's not that different from what it was.
00:21:03.180
And they're just trying to make sure it doesn't get used for military uses.
00:21:07.100
And, you know, we'll hardly even notice the difference.
00:21:09.580
And other people will say, no, you liars, you're just saying that these export controls are no big deal,
00:21:17.780
but you definitely plan to use them for negotiating and turning off our economy if it ever comes to that.
00:21:25.060
So some people are expecting Monday that the market will recover.
00:21:34.580
But I think it's early, it's sort of early to say that.
00:21:41.820
But don't make any investments based on my guess.
00:21:48.520
I mean, I assume that China needs things to work out with the U.S.
00:21:52.140
as much as the U.S. needs things to work out with China economically.
00:21:56.140
So given that both sides have enormous incentive to make it work, to get some kind of a deal done,
00:22:04.720
I feel like both countries are sane and both countries are capable.
00:22:11.800
So if you're sane and capable and you have the same objective,
00:22:15.240
which is to make sure you don't kill either country, we'll work it out.
00:22:21.300
Anyway, so we'll see what the details are on that.
00:22:26.780
Kyle Bass, who's a famous China watcher, China critic with me,
00:22:33.940
he said that Trump holds the Trump card with China because we can, quote,
00:22:40.160
remove them from the USD system altogether so they wouldn't be able to buy and trade with other countries as easily.
00:22:47.760
I'm not sure that we really do have that leverage.
00:22:51.300
Because, again, that would be sort of a mutually assured destruction weapon.
00:22:57.840
If we remove them from the USD system, wouldn't they immediately just reproduce a system they could use
00:23:09.040
But I feel like that would be a six-month really big problem,
00:23:14.440
followed by they would get off the U.S. dollar and then we would have a big problem.
00:23:25.100
Anyway, and then also according to Kyle Bass, it says,
00:23:29.560
last night it was revealed that China was blackmailing other countries to not export goods to the United States.
00:23:36.960
And I guess one of the countries shared the letter with the United States,
00:23:40.460
so we know this for sure, that China was working against us, blackmailing other countries.
00:23:48.260
Anyway, and then there was that big crypto meltdown that happened on Friday
00:23:55.140
that's starting to look like there might be a mystery involved here
00:23:59.500
because apparently some whales, as they call them, big investors,
00:24:04.360
came in and seemed to know ahead of time that there was going to be a big event that would drive crypto down
00:24:10.160
because some people bought unusually large shorts,
00:24:16.140
meaning that if the price went down, they'd made money.
00:24:18.840
And I think one person made $192 million in an hour or something.
00:24:24.800
Somebody put a $23 million short just ahead of the announcements like they knew.
00:24:35.560
It's not illegal to do insider trading with Bitcoin.
00:24:41.860
If you had insider information and you knew the government was going to do something
00:24:46.240
and you made your bet based on the thing that you knew that other people didn't know,
00:24:52.880
The exception would be if you're owning Bitcoin indirectly through a fund
00:25:03.500
So, you know, I've got some Bitcoin directly that I own.
00:25:12.620
But if I traded what was in my stock fund, which is a fund that holds some Bitcoin
00:25:21.480
I don't know what they hold, but they match Bitcoin.
00:25:25.120
If I did it in there, the exact same trade, I could go to jail.
00:25:30.740
So somebody was smart enough probably to know that they didn't have any risk.
00:25:43.720
I saw on a Mario, an awful post, he does these great summaries of the news.
00:25:55.280
He says that Doge just cut 214 billion in government fat.
00:26:04.100
I'm not sure I believe anything about Doge cuts.
00:26:08.320
The one thing I do believe, and this is great credit to Elon and all the Doge people, I think they made Doge a permanent thing.
00:26:17.940
So if you're looking at the individual claims or the individual wins or the individual cost cuts, you might get too excited about what's happening at any given time.
00:26:29.140
But I do believe this became permanent and that the way the leaders in government are thinking is they're thinking, how can I reduce costs?
00:26:42.640
I love the fact that people are thinking, how do I reduce instead of thinking, how do I build my empire?
00:26:53.600
And that's entirely Elon Musk's persuasion that we think Doge and we think that's the way we get rewarded now.
00:27:01.960
Oh, the way I get rewarded is by cutting costs.
00:27:10.720
That the reward is saving the world by cutting costs.
00:27:14.600
The reward is not you introduced a new project.
00:27:17.800
Oh, look how I did on my new expensive project.
00:27:21.740
Now you're going to have to get rid of that project if you want to impress us.
00:27:24.480
J.B. Pritzker, governor of Illinois, he's out there making noise.
00:27:33.160
And now he's complaining that, quote, another thing that happened with very few people paying attention is they, meaning the Trump administration, demanded our voter data.
00:27:44.920
Not just ours in Illinois, every state's voter data.
00:27:54.480
The DOJ asked you to remove illegal alien voters from the rolls and you refused.
00:28:05.640
So here's my problem with J.B. Pritzker and a number of what I call the designated liars.
00:28:12.280
Have you noticed that when Democrats lie, they smile?
00:28:16.840
And when Republicans lie, if they do, they're not smiling.
00:28:21.620
And usually I think Democrats are, I'm sorry, Republicans.
00:28:27.660
Republicans are more likely just to, you know, tell you the thing.
00:28:37.960
But I think that there's generally some kind of, what do they call it, cluster B kind of thing going on, where the liar is enjoying the lie.
00:28:48.760
If you look at Pritzker, when he lies like this, he's got that shit-eating grin that he can't get off his face.
00:28:57.740
He appears to love lying more than he likes eating.
00:29:02.480
And if you notice that the other designated liars like that too, Jamie Raskin.
00:29:08.080
If you see Raskin lying, he's smiling, isn't he?
00:29:27.500
So when you see that creepy smile, it's illuminating something on the inside of them, which I think is narcissism.
00:29:35.420
You know, I'm no expert, so don't take my word for it.
00:29:37.740
But it looks like they get internal delight from lying right in front of you.
00:29:50.860
If you have any example of a Republican who smiles when he lies, let me know.
00:29:57.500
Yeah, well, Jimmy Kimmel is a comedian, so allegedly, so you can't count that.
00:30:13.500
And I was trying to think of all the advantages that Republicans have gained recently.
00:30:24.600
But the Republicans' ones, better policies that are more popular with the people, more 80-20 and 60-40 policies.
00:30:50.360
So you know how people just get tired of whatever the old way was and they just need a new way?
00:31:02.020
So I think that the pendulum swing is still toward conservatives, although that could end, you know, that could reverse before the midterms.
00:31:10.760
The Democrats have to explain why they were in favor of the trans issue, that most of the public was not.
00:31:21.460
Let's say trans in sports specifically and trans for children stuff specifically.
00:31:28.400
Closing government, I think they'll get a little bit of blame, but that'll go away before the midterms.
00:31:41.340
And now they're kicking off reparations in California.
00:31:46.660
But on top of that, now an alleged Republican, lifetime Republican, has bought the Dominion voting machines.
00:31:56.560
Now, I don't think that that means that the Republicans will use them to cheat.
00:32:02.400
But they're definitely going to make sure the Democrats don't use them to cheat.
00:32:05.580
So if you believe that the voting machines were ever rigged, well, that problem might be solved, at least for these machines.
00:32:14.100
Now, I don't have any information that they were rigged.
00:32:19.960
I'm just saying kind of took away that risk, maybe.
00:32:24.520
So then the Republicans are trying to scrub the voter rolls, whichever ones they can get a hold of, to get rid of the non-citizens.
00:32:36.420
There should be some more redistricting going on.
00:32:40.320
That should turn out positive for the Republicans, probably.
00:32:43.260
I guess the Supreme Court is looking at removing the redistricting set-asides that I didn't even know existed.
00:32:53.100
But some existed just for, I think, mostly for black Americans to make sure they had some representation.
00:33:00.040
That might go away, which would be a plus for Republican districts.
00:33:04.580
The last election, Laura Trump and the company had lots of lawyers observing things.
00:33:16.740
And I suspect that having that many lawyers observing elections makes a difference.
00:33:24.060
And then, of course, Republican allies are going to own TikTok, already own X, CBS News, maybe CNN.
00:33:32.220
So the entire media landscape has turned podcaster-friendly and major media unfriendly.
00:33:47.100
They keep embarrassing themselves and becoming less and less important.
00:33:51.300
And meanwhile, all the big tech platforms, probably all of them, are pro-chump at this point because he's the free speech guy.
00:33:58.360
And they really, really need a free speech guy or they can't even do business in Europe.
00:34:04.940
So that's just – oh, then I know that the Republicans are trying to get rid of mail-in ballots.
00:34:13.960
But if they do, well, that would be another advantage.
00:34:16.960
And then this whole Nobel Peace Prize thing, you know, obviously it was a little too late for Trump to get it this year.
00:34:25.760
I think they – I think the reason for not giving it to him this year is good enough because it really was past the deadline.
00:34:37.080
If Trump solves Ukraine, which is possible before the midterms, he's going to have two Nobel Prize nominations for two completely different wars.
00:34:49.940
You know, maybe by then the tariffs are working and the trade deals are done.
00:34:59.480
I mean, it's starting to become such a monstrous imbalance.
00:35:13.840
And that's without me even saying the obvious, that all the best people are on the same side now.
00:35:22.080
But, you know, I don't think it could be said enough that Trump would not be where he is if a whole bunch of Democrats who are important, like RFK Jr.
00:35:32.680
and Tulsi and, you know, was it – who are some other ones?
00:35:40.240
Me, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, probably some of the all-in pod guys.
00:35:46.580
But there were a whole bunch of people that were, in my opinion, the smartest people who all ended up on the same side.
00:35:58.300
Because they're the ones who could make things happen.
00:36:01.060
Anyway, over in Israel, I guess Jared and Wyckoff are there and Trump's going to be there today?
00:36:09.760
So there's some thought that maybe some of the hostages might be released today, which would be a day ahead of the plan.
00:36:18.280
But I always wondered, why do you really need to wait until Monday?
00:36:22.080
Isn't that the cruelest thing you've ever heard?
00:36:24.860
Imagine if you're one of the hostages and it's Friday.
00:36:28.060
And on Friday they say, hey, looks like we're going to release you on Monday.
00:36:34.720
I mean, you'd feel good that you're going to get released.
00:36:43.360
Do I really have to stay in this tunnel for two and a half more days because that's the deadline?
00:36:53.860
So I think a little bit of that might be happening.
00:36:56.620
So maybe we'll see a few people trickling out today, which would be awesome.
00:37:00.480
But what's interesting is that when Jared and Wyckoff were doing their little talk in front of a very happy crowd of Israelis, Netanyahu got booed and Trump got enthusiastically cheered.
00:37:18.440
And people were wearing Make America Great Again hats.
00:37:24.220
Not all of them, but apparently it was acceptable.
00:37:35.200
So at this point, we are expecting things to go smoothly with the prisoner handoff.
00:37:40.460
And I think the head of Hamas actually reaffirmed that they're not looking to have any kind of leadership or power after this is all sorted out.
00:37:54.320
The big thing was, would Hamas agree to not be in power?
00:38:03.000
You know, I mentioned yesterday that Jared Kushner had read my book, Wooden Bigley, which teaches you how to negotiate and persuade the way Trump does.
00:38:14.200
And that after reading it, he got the Abraham Accords done.
00:38:18.000
And then they brought him in to be the finisher on this.
00:38:21.600
And I wasn't sure if he did a lot on the Gaza deal or if he just sort of came in at the end to wrap up things.
00:38:30.860
So he was deeply involved doing what appeared to be impossible, which is what I teach in the book, Wooden Bigley.
00:38:39.980
But what I didn't remember is that back in 2020, he had told author Woodward that that book, Wooden Bigley, was one of the four books you should read to understand Trump.
00:38:53.060
So I didn't know that he went public with that, but he had.
00:38:55.900
So I don't feel so bad saying that he read my book because he recommends it for understanding Trump.
00:39:02.140
I recommend it for understanding persuasion the way Trump does it.
00:39:07.240
So it's not just about the person, it's about the technique as well.
00:39:17.400
Well, in other news, the largest teachers' union, which I think is the NEA, sent out a map to its members that erased Israel from the map.
00:39:37.560
The teachers' union says, whoops, that wasn't us.
00:39:46.360
But can you imagine that they actually paid for that and it got sent out and nobody caught it?
00:40:04.300
I guess Trump is doing some workarounds to try to get the troops paid while the government's closed and other people are not being paid.
00:40:12.440
And would you believe that the Democrats are complaining about paying the troops?
00:40:18.800
He trapped the Democrats into being against paying the troops because they would complain about, you know, what bucket he took it out of or something like that.
00:40:27.560
So, once again, Democrats tricked into taking the dumbest position you could possibly take.
00:40:34.980
Well, there's a new book out, I think it's new, called Stolen Elections by Ralph Pizzullo.
00:40:43.820
Now, I'm going to give you a warning before I talk about this.
00:40:46.740
You're going to get a big dose of what I call the documentary effect because I'm going to tell you that this book has a point of view about the integrity of our elections that I'm going to tell you what they say.
00:41:01.040
But since I won't be presenting the critics to it or the counterpoint, it's going to be really, really persuasive, but it shouldn't be, right?
00:41:13.800
If you hear one point of view without the other side and you listen to it enough, you'll think it's real just because you only heard one point of view.
00:41:24.760
So, be aware, I'm going to give you one point of view, and it will be persuasive, doesn't mean it's true.
00:41:34.980
So, the Rasmussen poll people have been on this forever.
00:41:38.960
The Georgia election and the 2020 irregularities, as people would say.
00:41:44.300
But this book is adding a bunch, and Rasmussen is calling out some of the interesting excerpts from the book.
00:41:50.720
Again, it's called Stolen Elections by Ralph Pazzullo.
00:41:55.760
So, on page 50, Rasmussen points out that the book says,
00:41:59.460
The U.S. is divided into about 3,400 counties of election districts.
00:42:04.300
In one of the recent briefings given by the whistleblowers, yes, there are whistleblowers,
00:42:11.260
they were asked by a former head of U.S. military intelligence,
00:42:14.580
In how many counties did you need to tamper with the vote in order to steal a national election?
00:42:22.500
How many do you have to tamper to steal the election?
00:42:31.900
And then they were asked how many people were needed to execute the steal, allegedly.
00:42:42.260
And they said it would take about a year to plan it.
00:42:46.660
So, there you have whistleblowers who are telling you how it was done,
00:43:06.580
Remember, you're already in the documentary effect.
00:43:10.900
So, you should be turning up your, your doubting thing should be turned up,
00:43:24.100
But you should be going into this with some real skepticism, okay?
00:43:33.980
On page 245, according to Rasmussen Poll people,
00:43:39.600
they say the book, Stolen Elections, Ralph Pozzolo says the following.
00:43:43.680
In the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election,
00:43:47.240
engineers recruited by the whistleblowers collected strong evidence
00:43:55.560
was about to steal the election for the Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris.
00:44:01.620
They also suspected that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency,
00:44:06.740
CISA, a component of the Department of Homeland Security,
00:44:10.120
couldn't be trusted to identify and stop the fraud
00:44:13.220
because of their poor performance during the 2020 presidential election.
00:44:20.600
the engineers were able to stop the illegal altering of election results
00:44:25.300
by shutting down the servers that the criminal cartel were using in Serbia
00:44:30.520
and other countries, thus preserving the integrity of the 2024 election.
00:44:35.900
Did you wonder how Trump won in 2024 but lost in 2020?
00:44:40.600
Well, I don't know if this is the answer, but it's alleged.
00:44:56.020
you can't do this without the complicity of certain officials in the United States.
00:45:03.180
And then the question was, do you have any idea who these officials are?
00:45:06.980
Source one said, for one, the governor of the state of Georgia,
00:45:12.440
he won't allow for the software of Dominion to be updated,
00:45:15.820
even though he knows that the software is flawed
00:45:25.840
you would be completely convinced that Georgia was a rigged election?
00:45:33.540
I'll bet every one of you is not 100% convinced that Georgia was stolen.
00:45:38.840
They do have people who were whistleblowers telling you how it was done
00:45:53.880
Unfortunately, you can't be sure that these whistleblowers
00:46:01.380
We just don't live in a world where you can trust people like that.
00:46:09.300
and it does look like we'll have access to maybe knowing the real picture
00:46:12.720
because now Dominion is owned by some Republican-friendly guy.
00:46:24.760
But maybe the problem is solved if a Republican has it.
00:46:37.720
because the buttons they've been pressing for, I don't know, years now
00:46:52.460
It's looking like Rasmussen has been completely validated and vindicated,
00:46:59.540
So on a separate topic, but also Rasmussen pointing it out,
00:47:07.440
Do you know that there was a polling company called FiveThirtyEight
00:47:14.600
But they were sort of the pollster's ranking entity.
00:47:22.700
but they would tell you what other polls were real
00:47:33.260
if you wanted to control what people thought in the United States,
00:47:44.120
you could manipulate a lot of stuff in the United States.
00:47:49.880
because you don't have control over all those polls
00:48:00.360
Whenever the Democrats have a fact-checking entity,
00:48:15.080
but he sold it, I think, to the New York Times or somebody.
00:48:19.360
But here's what Rassman says, which I don't fully understand.
00:48:24.180
But they say that Disney apparently spent $100 million
00:48:30.660
at the pollster grading company FiveThirtyEight.
00:48:35.500
But as soon as Doge arrived at USAID, FiveThirtyEight was closed.
00:48:42.600
And controlling the narrative probably was expensive.
00:48:49.740
Now, this one's more of a little smoking gun situation,
00:48:53.500
but the suggestion had been that polls are typically rigged,
00:49:04.920
But when it comes to determining who becomes your president,
00:49:08.480
the allegation was that they were always rigged.
00:49:11.780
And this would be more smoking gun sort of evidence than maybe it was.
00:49:19.160
But I would say short of proof, short of proof.
00:49:36.460
So who owned FiveThirtyEight when it got closed?
00:49:40.120
So the question is, did FiveThirtyEight get some government funding
00:49:43.600
because it was doing devious things for one part of the government?
00:49:51.140
But I've never trusted the polls when it comes to the presidential races.
00:49:58.240
And then you want one more just to round it out?
00:50:07.380
And they're reminding us that in September 2023,
00:50:10.960
they did a survey to find out who people voted for in Georgia.
00:50:15.680
Do you remember Georgia, the state that Trump narrowly lost in 2020?
00:50:35.660
So when they counted the votes, Biden had more.
00:50:40.560
When Rasmussen did a poll to say, who did you vote for?
00:50:51.380
Now, some of that could be false memories and stuff like that,
00:51:12.140
I mean, were they embarrassed to say they voted for Biden?
00:51:16.180
So what do you make of the fact that the election didn't match the poll?
00:51:22.980
Well, how would you deal with that if you were the bad guys?
00:51:31.740
and you'd say, quick, make sure that Rasmussen gets ranked low
00:51:36.360
so that even if people see this, we'll be able to say,
00:51:43.840
They ranked them as, I think, about it's just Rasmussen.
00:52:00.440
I guess a federal appeals court said Trump can federalize Illinois National Guard
00:52:28.580
So he wanted you to know that he was on board with Antifa
00:52:38.740
His own son had publicly declared support for Antifa.
00:52:54.940
Now, I was thinking, how many other things are Democrats claiming
00:52:58.300
are hallucinations or they're just hallucinating?
00:53:04.840
So the Democrats are hallucinating that Republicans are the ones
00:53:16.680
Every one of them says they'll sign to open the government right now.
00:53:21.880
So they've got this hallucination about who's keeping the government closed.
00:53:25.480
They think Antifa doesn't even exist, even though they get like massive crowds
00:53:31.660
and they've got a guidebook and we know where the funding is coming from.
00:53:38.100
They think that white supremacists is the big problem.
00:53:47.640
They think that there's not really any violence in cities that needs any extra help.
00:53:53.000
They think they have the violence in the major cities under control.
00:54:00.340
They thought the border was secure when it was totally open.
00:54:05.000
They thought that Trump is stealing your democracy.
00:54:08.940
When we look at what happened with the election in 2020,
00:54:13.440
maybe somebody was stealing your democracy, but it wasn't the January 6th people.
00:54:18.760
They weren't trying to steal your democracy by trespassing in a building for a few hours.
00:54:30.620
And then I'm going to add this one just because we're going to talk about reparations.
00:54:36.200
And the belief that white people are the reason that blacks are not succeeding.
00:54:39.580
Do you believe that the reason that black people are not succeeding is that white people are holding them back
00:54:46.800
or the white people have all the systemic advantages?
00:54:57.400
So Katie Porter, who thought she was running for governor of California,
00:55:02.380
but apparently after those video clips of her being a super Karen came out,
00:55:09.620
her popularity went down from 40% chance of being governor to 16.
00:55:16.380
So I guess you can't be a horrible bitch to your staff and to other people
00:55:22.120
and get that on video and people didn't like that.
00:55:28.280
But what about that Virginia Democrat attorney general nominee who got caught with some private messages
00:55:36.140
that said things like he wishes his opponent would get shot in the head
00:55:41.020
and somebody would pee on their grave and he thinks maybe his policies would be better if his family got hurt.
00:55:59.280
So apparently you can say and it can get out in public that you want great violence to happen to a Republican
00:56:06.880
and his family and his family and your Democrat supporters will say,
00:56:21.000
Mark Benioff, the founder, owner of Salesforce, CEO.
00:56:26.640
He's calling for Trump to send in the National Guard to San Francisco.
00:56:31.240
That's where their headquarters is because it's turned into a fentanyl dump.
00:56:39.320
But he lives in Hawaii, so he doesn't have to deal with it.
00:56:42.320
But when he visits his building, apparently it's a nightmare.
00:56:44.940
So Mark Benioff, now the reason that's important is that Benioff would be the most famously woke CEO of all time.
00:56:59.100
I spent a little bit of time chatting with him once a few years ago, and I thought he was the real deal.
00:57:06.820
I think Benioff actually wants to make the world a better place while he's making his money.
00:57:12.280
And he was dead serious about that during the meeting that I attended.
00:57:16.880
I was a speaker, so I got to see some of the other interactions.
00:57:25.300
And he was getting on his people for not fully buying into the charitable part of the company.
00:57:37.680
And he knows you can't have uncontrolled crime in your business environment.
00:57:45.780
In other news, allegedly 10,000 U.S. troops are being deployed in the Caribbean around the area of Venezuela.
00:57:57.620
That probably is telling us that something's going to happen, but we're not ruling out that they're just doing exercises.
00:58:05.260
I think they're getting ready for a land attack.
00:58:08.140
And some say it's just to pressure Maduro to make it look like we might get more military.
00:58:17.140
I think if we go into Venezuela, we're not going to attack the military so much.
00:58:25.860
I feel like the only thing we would do there would be a decapitation strike.
00:58:30.720
I don't think we would move the whole military in and try to control the country while Maduro is an absentee leader or something.
00:58:42.300
I think they would have to know where he is, take him out hard, and then go in with support for the Venezuelan government that's sort of in waiting.
00:58:57.680
And also, Hagsath announced that they've formed a counter-narcotics task force in the Caribbean that we'll be launching.
00:59:10.240
So now that they've formed the task force, that task force is for the purpose of boots on the ground.
00:59:29.340
When I say ground war, in a perfect world, we would take out the leadership with a missile or a bomb, and then the ground would just be mopping up.
00:59:41.340
I guess Charlie Kirk will receive the highest civilian honor, and posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Honor, Medal of Freedom happens today.
00:59:57.260
Have you listened to Rob O'Neill, the SEAL Team 6 member who shot Bin Laden?
01:00:05.000
Have you heard him talking about his opinion of whether we correctly have analyzed what happened to Charlie Kirk?
01:00:11.920
Because he's very clear that we don't have the right story.
01:00:17.780
He says he's killed a number of people up close, and he can tell you for sure that that's no entry wound.
01:00:24.500
Now, if that's no entry wound, everything we've been told is a lie.
01:00:34.440
I'm just saying that if that wasn't an entry wound, we really don't know.
01:00:39.740
And the other thing that Rob O'Neill talks about is, allegedly, the microphone that he was wearing was immediately removed from his body and removed from the site,
01:00:53.460
as if maybe somebody thought that the microphone was part of the kill shot.
01:00:59.120
Because there's some people who say the microphone might have been like a secret little gun that shot something into him.
01:01:12.500
But when you hear somebody that qualified say with such certainty that this was not a gunshot from the front, I do believe him.
01:01:23.460
Do you remember the story of the magic bullet for Kennedy?
01:01:31.260
What are the odds that the bullet would be laying on the gurney next to the body?
01:01:36.600
And then the bullet that supposedly went through two completely different people was still intact.
01:01:44.780
Now, it was flattened, but the entire mass of the bullet in the Kennedy situation,
01:01:50.900
the entire mass of the bullet was still there and sort of identifiable,
01:01:55.040
but just flattened like it had gone through some soft tissue,
01:01:58.580
but not like it had gone through any bones at all.
01:02:07.860
Apparently, there are people who are experts on gunshot wounds.
01:02:11.180
And one of the things I learned is, you know, on TV,
01:02:20.780
they'll analyze the bullet and find out what gun it came out of.
01:02:25.140
Apparently, in the real world, that almost never can happen.
01:02:33.580
you couldn't possibly match it back to a particular barrel.
01:02:42.560
not only did Rob O'Neill say that if the gun that is implicated was the one used,
01:02:57.560
Oh, and then there's the bullet probably would have been broken up,
01:03:08.640
And there might be maybe a trace of part of the bullet still in him.
01:03:14.060
But what the doctor said is that Charlie had magic bones
01:03:18.600
and it stopped the bullet and the bullet was still in him.
01:03:21.540
Apparently, that doesn't make any sense at all.
01:03:23.520
It wouldn't be intact and it definitely wouldn't be in him
01:03:29.760
And it definitely wouldn't have left that hole.
01:03:32.440
Now, I hate that every single freaking thing that looks like it's simple
01:03:44.200
coming from somebody as qualified as Rob O'Neill?
01:03:51.200
oh, based on my own SEAL Team 6 up-close murders,
01:03:59.840
you know, that looked like an entry wound to me.
01:04:10.020
but I believe 100% of them have said that was no entry wound.
01:04:17.420
every single person who knows what they're talking about?
