00:05:30.940 that yeah look at that the mug made it i love that the mug is on the cover

00:05:35.620 uh that was one of scott's favorite portraits and our friend jessica vaughn actually flew up to

00:05:43.760 do a photo session with him and he said afterward that it was the best he'd ever had so we used one

00:05:49.600 her photos perfect for the book yeah oh it's so representative of just like everything i love it

00:06:06.080 well i'm feeling great actually i'm very excited about the book coming out in less than two weeks

00:06:11.360 now on november 12th and i feel like i'm having a very scott adams kind of day you know i'm just

00:06:17.920 having an incredible time watching this unfold.

00:06:22.740 Scott, I've had this great way of explaining systems versus goals.

00:06:27.080 You know, someone who thinks in terms of goals

00:06:29.340 fails every day until the day they achieve the thing that they were trying to do.

00:06:34.880 So it's not that they can't succeed, but they only have one day of success.

00:06:39.740 Someone with systems wins every single day

00:06:42.160 because every day that you do the thing that you're supposed to do

00:06:44.960 as part of your system, you have succeeded.

00:06:46.660 eventually you get to your goal. I think I'm having that day where even if this was just a

00:06:53.000 goal, it's a great day. But I've had wins every day this year writing this book. I've just gotten

00:07:01.360 through the work that I've had to do that day to get it done. And today feels like the point where

00:07:07.400 the systems and the goals intersect. Aw, that's amazing. Owen, I mean, we've been long awaiting.

00:07:14.660 Actually, it hasn't been that long, but we're long awaiting it.

00:07:18.460 Yeah, so now I'm ready to order it.

00:07:20.500 I did find it, and when I searched, I found some fake ones.

00:07:25.540 There are some fake ones.

00:07:26.600 So this is the only authentic one is by me.

00:07:29.100 And the other thing is we're going to have a website up, scottadamsbook.com.

00:07:33.700 So if you just want to find it quickly, scottadamsbook.com is going to point you to the right book.

00:07:38.800 So that's all happening today.

00:07:41.460 But literally, this has all been a layered process where because we wanted to get the book out before the end of the year, we're running several processes simultaneously.

00:07:52.300 So while I was finishing the writing, we were also choosing photos and getting cover ready and doing all kinds of things.

00:08:00.520 And I've had an incredible amount of help and support from Joshua Lysak, who you guys know.

00:08:05.880 I know he was on the show earlier this week.

00:08:07.240 he has his fourth ever new york times bestseller this week with unelected by data republican

00:08:15.260 and i told him this is going to be number five so we uh we have to make this a bestseller and

00:08:22.440 once this is fully fully fully live and purchasable you can see amazon just sort of the gears are

00:08:28.760 turning uh once this is fully operational please please please go out and buy it and and i think

00:08:34.680 going to enjoy it but um yeah it's just just a fantastic feeling and joshua has been incredible

00:08:40.520 um may who is scott's art director has been amazing scott's family has been incredible

00:08:48.920 and they've been really supportive including his siblings his stepdaughter extended family so it's

00:08:55.800 been a real labor of love and a lot of people have worked very hard to make this happen so we're very

00:09:01.240 very excited oh my gosh no one's worked harder than usual you got on airplanes and you dug through

00:09:08.280 files and papers and binders and pictures and you know you tracked people down and it's just

00:09:16.680 you know and i know also oh i am not getting emotional i but i know how emotional it is

00:09:24.840 and how emotional it must have been you know it was an incredibly emotional project and

00:09:33.080 as you finish writing you do have to let go of it a little bit because now other people take over

00:09:38.200 and i wanted to say something about josh and his role in this whole thing i spent a lot of time

00:09:45.320 and and effort working on the manuscript it was a lot of hard work and then i saw his layout which

00:09:50.760 you'll see when you get the book and he really makes it come alive on the page you can see how

00:09:57.640 incredibly talented he is when you see what he does to a manuscript and how he brings it to life

00:10:03.800 and the layout and the editing and the care and the diligence and he works incredibly quickly

00:10:10.760 and none of this is ai this is just a guy and his brain and it's been incredible to watch him work

00:10:18.920 and you can see why he has the best sellers he understands the market he understands the process

00:10:24.520 and he has worked outside the system he's not working through an established

00:10:29.240 system of publishers and distributors he's really a remarkable guy and everybody who's

00:10:34.920 worked on this has been incredible savannah scott's stepdaughter found his journal when

00:10:43.240 when we were going through some of the archives.

00:10:45.420 So one of the documents I had access to

00:10:48.140 was a journal that Scott wrote from 1979 to 1998.

00:10:53.620 And that was very emotional to find that.

00:10:57.700 And there were other emotional moments.

00:11:01.080 One of them was finding someone

00:11:03.480 I've talked to you about before,

00:11:04.520 and you'll read the book and get the whole story,

00:11:06.740 but finding Joni Mahoney,

00:11:08.500 finding Scott's long lost girlfriend

00:11:12.320 was really really special and we didn't even know if she was alive so to find her was incredible

00:11:18.740 so lots of lots of things along the way and i just felt his presence in a way the whole time

00:11:26.760 that i was doing this and of course he's still very present in all of our lives through this show

00:11:30.800 and through his other books and you know today i just want to share this with you because i'm

00:11:36.320 having a fantastic day for other reasons um i don't like living temporarily in washington dc you

00:11:43.420 know we've been displaced from southern california by the fires i go back and forth to california my

00:11:49.340 family's in dc right now i'm not a huge dc fan but this year for whatever reason the fall colors

00:11:55.520 are spectacular they are so beautiful it wasn't like this last year i think we had some storms

00:12:00.940 last year and the leaves blew off just wasn't very nice this year nature is putting on a show

00:12:06.560 and i went down to the gym i walked my kids to the school bus to the bus stop and then i went

00:12:12.800 to the train station i went to the gym and the gym is closed closed on a friday i didn't know

00:12:18.000 it was closed on a friday until 10 a.m who waits until 10 a.m to go to the gym i don't know but

00:12:22.840 i'm standing there like well i'm just going to go for a run and so i ran with my bags over my

00:12:28.440 shoulders and everything i probably weighed an extra 30 pounds and i ran on this beautiful trail

00:12:33.600 called rock creek park trail and i just took pictures of everything i could it was so spectacular

00:12:40.460 i'm almost glad the gym was closed because it was amazing and that's the thing that scott taught

00:12:46.020 also you know when you have a system you've got to find a way to get that exercise in now even if

00:12:50.360 you just show up at the gym and it's closed and you go home that still counts for scott but i had

00:12:55.760 to stick to my system. And because I had that system, I had that incredible run and I was able

00:13:00.300 to improvise a little bit with my schedule. So here I am. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but I've

00:13:05.360 got the breakfast of champions and I sliced red pepper and tomato, lots of vitamin C.

00:13:12.060 You're so good.

00:13:13.260 Yeah. And I've got my coffee and I'm with you guys. So it's, it's just incredible. I mean,

00:13:17.620 there's so many wonderful moments and overall, I've just had that kind of a week where I've,

00:13:22.860 I've been able to savor the little bit of California that you can experience for about

00:13:28.100 one week in Washington, D.C. One week of the year. It has been stunning here on the Jersey Shore. I'm

00:13:35.120 not that, that far from you. And yeah, I agree. Like today it's going to be 70. The leaves are

00:13:40.460 gorgeous. And I'm like you, Joel. I am like that person that looks around, observes everything,

00:13:46.380 the sounds, the smells. It reminds me of, I had this weird thought yesterday, so random,

00:13:52.900 nothing to do with anything right now, but I was sitting outside for a minute and I was

00:13:56.380 looking at my emails and I was saying to myself, I always think my grandmother had Alzheimer's.

00:14:02.040 I'm like, what if I had Alzheimer's? I'm like, but she has memories. She could remember things

00:14:06.620 from long ago. And I started thinking to myself, I am so observant and I have so many memories

00:14:14.360 about the weirdest little things. And I was like, you know what, maybe I'd be okay with that because

00:14:20.660 I like to think about all my memories in such detail. And I'm so happy that I took the time

00:14:26.320 to be so observant about just like the little things that I think they would keep me happy

00:14:31.000 like later in life. So I think that that's a good lesson is don't just run through your life,

00:14:36.960 like really observe what's around you and what it smells like and what it sounds like and what it

00:14:41.800 tastes like and feels like and just soak it all in because you know it's just yeah stop and smell

00:14:48.320 the flowers because there's so much cool stuff around I got my wife to leave work yesterday and

00:14:53.840 joined me at this local garden where the trees were in full color and so she slipped out of work

00:15:01.680 and they tried to give her an assignment as she was leaving and she said I'll do it tomorrow

00:15:05.740 morning and we kind of slipped away together to this garden and all we did was sit there for an

00:15:11.240 hour but it was great you know it's just it's just amazing and first of all it's amazing that

00:15:16.740 my wife and i are still sneaking away after 16 years of marriage and you know having having fun

00:15:23.080 uh being a little bit naughty but also just the the fact that you take time to admire the beauty

00:15:28.920 around you is just incredible and you know it's easier in california when it's just beautiful all

00:15:34.720 the time everywhere you look despite the wildfires and the homeless people and all the problems that

00:15:40.980 California has created for itself. Wherever you look in California, it's beautiful. And so

00:15:45.360 in places like D.C., you do savor it. I mean, I thought growing up in Chicago that Chicago

00:15:51.820 was actually a beautiful city. It is a beautiful city. D.C. has nice monuments and museums. I don't

00:15:56.920 feel like it's the most beautiful place. So to find a few moments of beauty here feels like a

00:16:02.660 bit of a victory. Aw. Owen, are you smelling the flowers or are you just running full steam ahead?

00:16:08.440 oh i i went up to wisconsin over the weekend with my wife to go look at the changing colors so

00:16:15.380 we certainly try and do that and get out oh i've been with you there i mean i i don't get out

00:16:21.300 nearly as often as i'd like to or i should but i certainly understand the value of it and i i think

00:16:26.100 people should try and just get out and smell nature and be in nature and there's plenty of

00:16:30.520 science behind that too i've i've seen articles recently where it's just you know being out in

00:16:34.380 nature just it does good things to your brain it does well scott talked about it i mean scott

00:16:39.940 talked about finding beauty every day you know if you have to change your commute so that you go

00:16:44.180 through something beautiful you should do it you know beauty is a part of our experience

00:16:48.660 just two more notes about that i if you how do i say this if you follow my instagram there's a lot

00:16:57.960 of commentary now you know because of the california post they've been making a lot of

00:17:02.300 videos with me so i do a lot of news commentary on pollock joel is my you know someone else had

00:17:07.880 joel pollock already so i just did my my name backwards um i have a fondness for beautiful

00:17:13.260 women i have uh i do some photography and once in a while you'll see a beautiful woman today i

00:17:19.780 saw a beautiful man just an absolutely beautiful man and i took his photograph and i put it on

00:17:24.740 instagram and it was this police officer who was just moving the barriers on rock creek parkway

00:17:31.840 you know closing the traffic in one direction opening it in another direction but this guy had

00:17:36.000 a motorcycle and he had the helmet and the boots and he just looked like this complete unity of man

00:17:43.140 and machine and i said to him can i take your picture and he goes i'm busy and i said just give

00:17:49.620 me a minute so he let me take his picture underneath this bridge the connecticut avenue

00:17:53.780 bridge the largest freestanding concrete bridge in the world and the colors of the leaves behind

00:17:58.960 him and you know just i think you just got to savor those things anyway the other the other

00:18:03.280 thing i'll say about that are you following trump's lead on that yeah you know by the way 0.93

00:18:11.140 i don't think anything trump said about anybody's ass was wrong i mean i wouldn't advise doing that

00:18:18.580 in the workplace but i feel like one of the things that gen z misses and one of the reasons they're 0.94

00:18:23.780 unhappy and they don't date and they don't have kids is they just don't get beauty when they

00:18:30.440 encounter when they encounter the opposite sex okay they have access as scott would often say

00:18:37.380 to a world of pornography the likes of which none of us above the age of 40 grew up with i mean yeah

00:18:42.660 that's your first encounter in many cases for young people with anything that's revealed about

00:18:49.500 the opposite sex whereas those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s you know there was playboy there

00:18:55.140 were other things like that that you know as a young boy you take an interest in if you can find

00:18:59.040 one but um you know at least that was beauty it was about beauty and and beauty was a gateway to 0.88

00:19:06.000 everything else whereas these kids today it's just like sex and as a result i think their brains are

00:19:11.480 kind of fried and i think that's one of the reasons they're unhappy and they don't hook up and they

00:19:15.940 don't, I mean, by hookup, I mean, connect to each other in a positive way. And I feel like

00:19:21.220 it's okay if our president says so-and-so is attractive. I think that's actually okay.

00:19:27.300 I actually like the fact that people are comfortable talking about that, even if it's,

00:19:33.920 you know, not appropriate in a workplace setting, so you wouldn't do it at work. But

00:19:36.800 I just think people need to discover that it's okay to be attracted to the opposite sex. You 0.98

00:19:43.260 don't have to look for like a new gender if you want if you want to find romance and attraction

00:19:48.900 you know anyway um but the other thing i wanted to say was because i was so taken with the beauty

00:19:56.940 of nature this week i took a train and the best way to do it i wanted to take a journey to the

00:20:01.040 real real colors in virginia so i i took a train to charlottesville i found i could take an amtrak

00:20:07.900 from dc to charlottesville and get on another one back in the opposite direction an hour later

00:20:12.080 it was a beautiful ride beautiful scenery and i went to market street square where the statue

00:20:18.340 of robert e lee had been it used to be lee lee square or lee park and i i did a little video

00:20:25.560 about scott debunking the very fine people hoax and it's crazy because i have a lot of liberal

00:20:33.280 friends from college and childhood and so forth and i put a picture of myself in the park on

00:20:39.320 Facebook and I had friends, some of whom live in Charlottesville saying, Hey, you should have

00:20:43.080 looked us up. And they basically were making comments about the fine people hoax. Like they

00:20:47.540 didn't know it was a hoax. It's just, I think Scott did a great job debunking it. There are

00:20:56.260 still people who live in a bubble, but even in Charlottesville, but you know, it was just an

00:21:02.380 important way to kind of connect this journey into nature with what I was also doing in writing the

00:21:07.060 book. Oh, I love that. So Owen, do you have any questions? I don't know how long we have Joel

00:21:15.020 for. Did we know Joel? I'll be late for my next meeting. Oh, good. Because I mean, are you okay

00:21:21.440 to chat about news too? Let's talk about the news. Yeah. Okay. So I figured I knew you were coming on

00:21:27.460 this week and I know nothing about the Israel elections. And I thought maybe you could catch

00:21:35.280 us all up to speed. I'm not really sure how it all works and all of that. So what happens next?

00:21:43.260 Want me to do it quickly? I'll do it as concisely as I can. So Israel has a parliamentary system

00:21:49.520 like most of the rest of the world. So they vote for a party, not for a person. They actually tried

00:21:55.260 direct elections of the president for a while back in the 90s, and it was a total disaster.

00:22:00.480 so they just went back to party elections. There are 120 seats in the Israeli parliament or the

00:22:08.220 Knesset. So to win the election, to govern really, you have to have 61 out of 120 seats.

00:22:16.700 No party in the entire history of Israel has ever had 61 seats. No party has ever had a majority on

00:22:23.380 its own. Every single government in the history of Israel has been a coalition government.

00:22:27.520 And the reason, if I can be politically incorrect and I guess Jewish privilege here, I can criticize my own people. 0.79

00:22:35.760 We have a lot of opinions about things, as you might have noticed, and it's kind of in our culture to be argumentative.

00:22:43.500 So so we tend to think that we'll be happier in a smaller party where everybody kind of agrees with us.

00:22:50.900 But it's very hard for us to join large parties that are kind of internal coalitions.

00:22:55.600 So Israel has a lot of political parties, including Arab parties, by the way.

00:23:00.100 The Arab community in Israel, full citizens, they can vote.

00:23:02.980 There are Arab political parties.

00:23:04.120 They're also kind of divided.

00:23:05.180 But every government has been a coalition government.

00:23:09.320 Benjamin Netanyahu's party, the Likud party, in the last election was the largest party,

00:23:13.720 won a very large number of seats, about a quarter of the seats.

00:23:16.520 And the right-wing parties that are used to working with him joined him in a coalition

00:23:24.440 that was more than 60 seats.

00:23:26.480 I think it was 64, 65.

00:23:27.840 I can't remember what it was.

00:23:28.940 So they've been governing for the last four years.

00:23:32.160 Four years is up.

00:23:33.220 They have an election.

00:23:34.600 And this time, the liberal media pundits

00:23:38.120 expected Netanyahu to do very badly.

00:23:40.200 First of all, October 7th happened on his watch.

00:23:42.680 Second of all, the world hates him.

00:23:45.680 And even his friends in America

00:23:47.320 are not being nice to him right now, some of them.

00:23:50.100 And he's been branded a war criminal and blah, blah, blah.

00:23:53.480 So everybody expected that he was going to lose.

00:23:57.940 Do you like him, Joel?

00:23:59.320 I think he's fantastic.

00:24:00.680 OK.

00:24:01.040 Yeah, I think he's fantastic.

00:24:02.460 Having said that, I have said before that his time in public life was probably over,

00:24:08.320 or so I thought, because I tend to think people should not stay in office very long.

00:24:13.440 So he had a couple of terms in office, and then Obama was on his way out.

00:24:17.940 And I wrote a piece at the time saying, now is the time for Netanyahu to leave politics,

00:24:21.380 because his major achievement was to steer Israel through the Obama years.

00:24:24.820 Obama was quite hostile to Israel, and Netanyahu stood up to Obama.

00:24:28.260 And I thought that's really been his historic role.

00:24:31.760 But he stayed around, and he developed this relationship with Trump,

00:24:35.000 and they forged these peace agreements in the Middle East.

00:24:37.120 And then you get to October 7th.

00:24:39.620 And the one thing Netanyahu had never been before was a wartime leader.

00:24:42.760 He had never led during wartime.

00:24:44.820 And a lot of his critics on the right said it was because he was risk averse.

00:24:47.520 He would always prefer some kind of ceasefire rather than a war.

00:24:50.900 So even though he's portrayed by his critics to some like warmonger or whatever, if you look at his, if you look at his career, he often backed away from confrontations all the time. And that was a big knock from the right on Netanyahu. And I can't go into the details of what I talked to him about once, but I had a conversation with him once that was off the record, right?

00:25:08.940 challenged him on some of these points, and he defended himself very ably. But

00:25:13.640 this last period of the last two years where he was very aggressive going after Hezbollah in

00:25:20.760 Lebanon, going after Iran, he turned that whole impression on his head, and he really took some

00:25:27.000 risks that very few other people would have, and they were mostly successful. So he kind of

00:25:31.660 recovered politically because after October 7th, his party was really just in the dust. Israelis

00:25:38.460 were so mad at him they blamed him for not being aware of the threat on october 7th but because he

00:25:44.600 led the country so well through the war and because the israeli economy is growing at like

00:25:48.880 five percent i mean we're growing at 3.4 which is incredible the israeli economy is growing even

00:25:53.240 faster and people are doing well in israel israelis have a very high per capita income

00:25:59.500 they're just doing great so he came back and all the pundits were saying he was going to lose

00:26:06.060 And then the exit polls came out, and it's almost like they wrote the stories that they

00:26:09.980 had already prepared.

00:26:11.320 You know, Scott talked about this a lot.

00:26:13.180 It was cognitive dissonance.

00:26:14.980 The exit polls came out, and he was winning.

00:26:17.660 His party was in the lead.

00:26:19.320 They had, in some of the polls, they had 27 seats.

00:26:21.660 It was less than last time, but it was more than the other parties.

00:26:24.720 So he was winning, and they all wrote these stories like Netanyahu is losing, Netanyahu

00:26:29.340 trails and early results, all that stuff.

00:26:31.760 And one of the reasons they were writing that was that if you added up the seats in the

00:26:34.720 exit polls. The opposition coalition had 52 seats and Netanyahu's coalition had 50. Neither side had

00:26:41.320 more than 60. So neither one would have been able to form a government. The Arab parties had 18 or

00:26:47.100 19 seats because of huge Arab turnout. And there are some reasons for the Arab turnout, which are

00:26:52.280 not important to get into, but basically the Arab voters came out. Neither of the two mainstream 0.92

00:26:58.180 blocks in Israel will go into a coalition with the Arab parties. They did it a few years ago

00:27:02.620 and the government fell apart after a year.

00:27:05.020 So it's not something the Israeli public

00:27:07.180 has an appetite for right now.

00:27:08.880 But the Arab parties are very well represented,

00:27:11.720 at least in the opposition.

00:27:12.440 They do have some role maybe in certain votes

00:27:15.560 that could determine the fate of the next government.

00:27:18.100 Anyway, the exit polls said

00:27:19.360 the opposition coalition was ahead.

00:27:21.760 So all these pundits came out and they're like,

00:27:23.720 well, it's a rebuke of Netanyahu and all this nonsense.

00:27:27.960 And then three hours later,

00:27:29.240 the exit polls completely flipped.

00:27:30.960 and suddenly Netanyahu, not only did his party have more seats, but his coalition now was much

00:27:35.780 bigger than the opposition. Still not at a majority, but like four or five seats ahead.

00:27:41.180 And so he is the winner of the election. And if they don't have a clear majority,

00:27:45.600 then they're going to have another election in a few months time. But that favors him because now

00:27:49.600 his supporters have seen that the polls were wrong. They've been reminded that the pundits

00:27:52.880 are wrong. The polls are wrong. So they're just going to go back and vote for him again.

00:27:56.560 Why are people voting for him? Well, they're voting for him because, as I said, he steered

00:28:00.060 them through the war and he got them back to economic growth. But the other reason they're

00:28:03.380 voting for him is because of all the international condemnation. You know, when you condemn him and

00:28:07.580 you're going to arrest him and all this stuff, people say, well, we're a sovereign country.

00:28:12.120 We're not going to be told what to do by the United Nations. We're going to rally behind our

00:28:15.840 leader. They're very much like Americans. I mean, if the rest of the world hates Trump,

00:28:20.180 does that mean Americans are not going to support Trump? Maybe some on the left. But,

00:28:24.380 you know, if you kick our president around, we rally behind the president. And that's what

00:28:28.800 happened in israel so the more these mamdani people and you know navi pillay the nobel prize

00:28:33.660 winner talked about genocide and war criminal the israelis were like okay i know that's bs i'm

00:28:38.820 standing with this guy so that's what happened when navi pillay came out and accused him of

00:28:43.200 genocide i said you could write that as an endorsement of netanyahu because he was just

00:28:47.500 proving like israel needs me i'm the strong leader and it wasn't you know nobody believed in israel

00:28:53.400 that some other leader was going to be better liked by the rest of the world it was totally

00:28:58.240 clear that this was just the rest of the world on its own little trip and so you know he's the

00:29:03.060 winner trump's endorsement helped okay trump is very popular in israel he is beloved by people

00:29:09.080 they named a town after him they're naming train stations after him people love donald trump

00:29:14.000 and his endorsement mattered it mattered chuck schumer who is jewish trashed netanyahu a couple 0.52

00:29:21.880 years ago and said he should step down and have new elections okay nobody in israel likes chuck

00:29:26.660 Schumer. It's almost like America likes Chuck Schumer. Yeah, yeah, I know. But he might be a

00:29:31.860 Senate leader after this ridiculous election on Tuesday. So, you know, it's crazy. But so so so 0.92

00:29:37.640 what's the takeaway from all this? The takeaway is that voters respect strength. People will forgive

00:29:46.620 just about any other flaw. But if you are strong, you will attract people to support you. And

00:29:53.200 Netanyahu projected strength throughout this entire time. 0.88

00:29:56.200 And yes, he screwed up.

00:29:58.060 The intelligence was not there on October 7th.

00:30:00.760 He did not do what he should have, you can say.

00:30:04.940 The buck stops with him, right?

00:30:05.960 He didn't do enough to protect the country.

00:30:08.820 He's also been around forever, but he's a survivor.

00:30:12.900 And like Trump, he's been hit with bogus criminal cases.

00:30:15.600 I mean, he's under trial for corruption. 0.99

00:30:17.280 It's the most ridiculous. 0.93

00:30:18.100 If you watch the details, they tried to bribe the prosecutors in Israel. 0.98

00:30:22.320 They hate Netanyahu as much as the deep state hates Trump in America.

00:30:25.660 I mean, Israel has a left-wing establishment too, okay, or a liberal establishment.

00:30:30.280 And they were going after Netanyahu.

00:30:33.640 I mean, some of it's like petty infighting.

00:30:35.740 So, for example, Netanyahu was building up the Israeli Navy, and the real elite in Israel

00:30:40.620 is the Israeli Air Force.

00:30:41.700 The Air Force is great, but Netanyahu was like, you know what, we need a Navy.

00:30:45.000 So he ordered a submarine or something, and then they made that a scandal.

00:30:48.260 Like, it must have been corruption.

00:30:49.620 Like, why would we get a submarine?

00:30:50.760 He must have ribed somebody.

00:30:52.500 You know, it's a submarine.

00:30:53.880 Like they needed a submarine.

00:30:55.020 So anyway, it's just, I think that there's something that Americans can take heart in

00:31:01.680 from watching all this.

00:31:02.760 First of all, the polls don't mean anything.

00:31:06.060 They just don't mean anything.

00:31:07.020 I mean, they're not accurate.

00:31:09.000 The exit polls are even worse.

00:31:10.460 And as I said, when the exit polls in Israel came out, I said, if exit polls determined

00:31:14.840 elections, then Hillary Clinton would have been president.

00:31:16.860 because I remember Frank Luntz saying on November 8th, 2016, the exit polls have come out. Hillary

00:31:23.220 Clinton is the next president of the United States. And I went to the Trump victory party

00:31:27.180 and it was like a funeral atmosphere. Like everybody was kind of mopey because the exit

00:31:31.900 polls said that Trump was going to lose. And then the results started coming in and he started

00:31:35.760 winning everywhere. And, and so just, you know, it was, it was a crazy, I got a friend of mine

00:31:42.340 into the party. He said it was the best party he'd ever been to. Well,

00:31:46.860 Think about that. You start at this emotional low and then, you know, so 2020 was just as crazy.

00:31:54.640 Like I, I went to bed thinking Trump has got this. It was an obvious victory. And then I wake up and everything's changed.

00:32:02.060 It's like, what happened? That was different, though. That wasn't exit polls. I mean, Trump overcame the exit polls in 2020.

00:32:08.740 Also, I mean, he was supposed to lose Wisconsin by 17 points. He lost it by one. But I mean, you know, I would just say to people.

00:32:16.860 vote, go out there and do it. Just ignore all the crap. I mean, 0.99

00:32:22.240 the polls are not looking good for Republicans, but look at the guy out there. Look at the guy

00:32:26.220 on the trail, rally after rally. I mean, there's, you can say whatever you want about Trump. You

00:32:32.400 can disagree with his policies and maybe his party is going to lose big, but the guy is out

00:32:37.700 there. He's leaving everything on the field. Yeah, for sure. I mean, so I feel like that's

00:32:44.680 who we are as a nation i don't care if you're a republican or a democrat we just don't quit

00:32:48.760 and i feel like that's the lesson of the israeli elections um i also want to say one other thing

00:32:54.400 about that um when i was on this show a couple weeks ago it was after the israelis had overpowered

00:33:01.460 the hijackers in that flight you know they rescued the flight and i said something on this show i was

00:33:06.760 sitting on a park bench in dc and i said that todd beamer and the people who rushed a cockpit in

00:33:14.440 flight 93. They didn't save the plane, but they inspired these Israelis who rushed the cockpit

00:33:21.360 25 years later. And we all were aware of 9-11. There was a dude on a park bench, the next park

00:33:27.380 bench over, listening to me talk to you. And I'm always very reluctant to say what I believe in

00:33:32.900 public because you never know in a liberal city. And I always happen to live in liberal cities for

00:33:37.120 whatever reason. You never know who's going to react and what they're going to say. So I got

00:33:42.040 off the interview with you guys and this guy walks over and he says are you some kind of

00:33:48.980 public commenter or whatever like are you some commentator i said well yeah i'm the opinion

00:33:54.720 editor of the california post and he said you know what that thing you said about todd beamer

00:34:00.420 he said that blew my mind i had never heard anybody say it that way before he said i just

00:34:07.300 i'm just so glad i heard you say that oh oh i love that i was expecting to get you know 0.51

00:34:14.080 the full slew of insults about you know take your maga hat and get out of here you know like you

00:34:20.640 know watching him for a bit to pull a knife or something but he said he said that's amazing that

00:34:27.140 was just the coolest thing i was just i couldn't help but listen to what you were saying i just i

00:34:31.000 thought that was fascinating it's a great uh um analysis because i think after 9 11 and knowing

00:34:38.440 that about let's say todd beamer and the others that you know rushed the cockpit um that we all

00:34:45.500 in that moment we're like oh my god yeah you know what if something ever happens and i'm on a plane

00:34:50.620 i'm doing the same thing like we're not going to sit by you know and just be like okay we're sitting

00:34:55.600 here we'll do whatever you say it's like no like just everybody just know band together and there

00:35:01.080 is more of you than them and just do what you got to do but um and especially in dc we all know like

00:35:08.920 sitting on a park bench in dc you could be next to any single person giving out secret information

00:35:15.720 so you got to be careful a lot of transactions on park benches in dc well i don't want to think

00:35:22.880 about what other transactions go on well park benches in dc but um i actually that was one of

00:35:30.580 my that ended up being one of my best days ever in dc because i took my daughter kayaking that

00:35:34.660 day it was fantastic you know a very beautiful very beautiful october um you're so cute in dc

00:35:40.620 what's that i didn't know you could kayak in dc yeah here's the thing with kayaking in dc so they

00:35:45.940 have a couple of boathouses on the potomac and you can rent kayaks but then you know this is

00:35:49.640 the problem with DC. They closed the kayaks on Monday, this past Monday. And I wanted to take

00:35:55.700 my wife kayaking. She hadn't had a chance. And they closed it. I went down to the docks a couple 1.00

00:36:01.240 days before just to check it out and make sure, you know, whatever. I actually wanted to go on

00:36:05.600 my own before I took my wife. And they tell me that they've closed it down for the season. I was

00:36:10.320 like, you've got to be kidding me. It's 70 degrees outside. It's gorgeous. This is the most beautiful

00:36:15.720 time of year and you're closing the kayaks we're scheduled it's so dc that's the most dc thing

00:36:21.600 ever like in california people would basically take money from you to rent you the kayak make a

00:36:28.480 buck and just keep it open break bend the rules a little bit just you know whatever dude have fun

00:36:33.080 that would be the california approach and then skiing season is the same way right like in all

00:36:38.100 the mountain areas skiing season is the same way in the mountain areas if the weather permits

00:36:41.760 They're going to stay open as long as they can. Yeah, yeah. I mean, California, you know, it's got stupid policies, but there is still this entrepreneurial kind of culture. And so the other thing is I grew up in Chicago. Okay. So I said to the guy at the dock, you know what, I grew up in Chicago. I grew up in frigid Chicago. And they let you keep your boat on the lake until October 31st.

00:37:04.800 So how are you guys in warm, warm ish DC going to close the kayaks on January 26th?

00:37:11.780 They're still open in Chicago.

00:37:12.840 He says, you should have gone to Chicago then.

00:37:16.380 And it was, it was so rude.

00:37:18.480 It was so rude that I had to laugh.

00:37:20.320 Like, like I wasn't, I wasn't even insulted because it was so damn rude.

00:37:25.320 I was like, you're like, yeah, I should have, you know, and then I, according

00:37:31.020 to your strength filter, does that mean Tyler Rico is going to lose?

00:37:34.800 And Tallarico has one thing going for him.

00:37:38.240 What?

00:37:40.300 I don't – somehow I can't see him winning, but he has one thing going for him.

00:37:44.340 I couldn't understand, like, what's the appeal of this guy?

00:37:47.000 His voice.

00:37:48.360 He has an excellent voice.

00:37:50.560 If you listen to his voice, the face is the face of a child,

00:37:54.820 but the voice is the voice of an old-school radio announcer,

00:37:59.640 heavy with cigarettes, calling the baseball game for you.

00:38:02.420 I mean, he's got this kind of deep, manly voice.

00:38:04.800 The rest of him is just beta, but the voice is alpha.

00:38:10.380 And I think that's the thing.

00:38:11.920 Really?

00:38:12.480 That's the thing.

00:38:13.480 Yeah.

00:38:13.880 I mean, it's like the Bushes and stuff are behind him and they're trying to just screw,

00:38:18.060 I guess, screw Paxton.

00:38:19.280 But it seems like there's some, you know, inter like like state politics going on.

00:38:24.920 I don't even know if it has anything to do with national politics.

00:38:27.900 Yeah.

00:38:28.220 The people don't like Paxton.

00:38:29.480 They haven't liked him for a while.

00:38:30.640 He was impeached and he wasn't convicted.

00:38:32.300 But, you know, the thing is. Nobody's going to vote for Paxton because they like Paxton.

00:38:38.580 They're going to vote for him because they don't want the Democrats to take the Senate and they don't want Texas to be represented by a Democrat who doesn't represent.

00:38:44.500 I mean, Tallarico's social positions are just bonkers and he's trying to walk them back now.

00:38:50.600 I saw his CNN town hall. You know, the guy can't tell a straight story.

00:38:54.300 We've seen this act before. He does the Obama thing where you ask him a direct question.

00:38:59.120 And instead of answering you, he gives you your argument the way he understands it.

00:39:04.040 And then you feel like he's listened to you, but then you realize he hasn't answered your

00:39:07.300 question.

00:39:08.140 So, for example, in the CNN town hall, they said, you know, a lot of us want voter ID.

00:39:13.720 A lot of us want the SAVE Act.

00:39:15.380 Are you going to go to D.C. and vote with Texas for the SAVE Act?

00:39:19.080 Because Texans want the SAVE Act.

00:39:21.380 And he said, I'm going to be a senator for Texas and not for California and not for New

00:39:27.940 York.

00:39:28.120 and what a great answer but notice he didn't answer the question he did not say whether he

00:39:33.280 would vote for voter id and you know what's going to happen he's going to get to dc and if the save

00:39:37.580 act comes up then he's going to say well this isn't the voter id that i wanted so i'm going to

00:39:43.040 vote against it so he'll pretend to support it's so slick and i think people are wise to it already

00:39:47.620 i think it doesn't work i just somehow i can't see him winning but if it if he does win it's

00:39:52.800 because people don't like paxton and because he has this voice just watch a clip of him and you'll

00:39:56.560 see the voice. Wait, I pulled too short of a clip. It's only six seconds. Let's see what he says.

00:40:02.200 And I guess I'm just confused why having a rainbow in class is considered indoctrination.

00:40:09.580 What a clip. Yeah, you're right. He does have a deep voice. 0.90

00:40:12.940 So he's telling you the most absurd thing. The most absurd thing that it's not indoctrination

00:40:19.780 to have a gay pride flag in class. You might agree with that form of indoctrination. You know, 1.00

00:40:24.780 scott made this point we brainwash everybody and we should brainwash people that's why we do the

00:40:28.660 pledge of allegiance that's why we have the flag i want kids to be brainwashed he said right well

00:40:33.060 you put a pride flag in the classroom you're brainwashing them for something else we can

00:40:36.420 disagree about what that is but i've uh you know it's not indoctrination he says so it's totally

00:40:42.680 absurd but the voice i know you know i'm so caught off guard because i look at him and i have this

00:40:51.140 uh strong opinion that's just mine that like do we know that he's been what's his name james

00:41:00.780 tallarico his whole life was he ever jane i'm just i swear i'm like he's so effeminate that i

00:41:07.120 which is like some men just are but i don't know he's so fixated on trans and children and this

00:41:13.380 and that i'm like dude why why like i feel like he's gonna win and then be like surprise

00:41:19.620 No, that's exactly right.

00:41:20.680 And it's the same with that lady, Annie Andrews, running in South Carolina.

00:41:24.460 I saw her interview last night on Fox, and it's the same story.

00:41:28.280 When they're running in the South, the Democrats pretend to be all, you know, down with the conservative struggle.

00:41:35.120 And then they get to D.C. and, yeah, first thing they're going to – I mean, Tallarico is that way because he went to some kind of divinity school.

00:41:41.760 And the divinity schools today are all woke.

00:41:45.120 And, you know, they teach them this crazy stuff.

00:41:48.020 So, you know, he's he's Obama. He's he's Obama, basically. If you liked what you got with Obama, you know, you'll like him. But I think I think it's going to be I don't know, it's going to be close there. I can't see El Sayed winning in Michigan, even though he's ahead in some of the polls. I just think this guy is bad news. And I think people in Michigan get it. And I also think that his responses to questions have been so aggro.

00:42:13.740 might be yeah like you know ease up ease up on the testosterone supplements buddy right that's

00:42:21.440 what i'm thinking i feel like he's on something yeah and you know what i this was a clip i was

00:42:27.060 going to play with owen just because it's one of those jfk was shot moments and like you remember

00:42:33.060 where you were when you heard this um and i was just talking about this this week so maze uh the

00:42:38.960 account maze, love our Maisie. He posted this one, two, three. And again, if you didn't get out and

00:42:46.060 vote yet, just show this to your friends and be like, do you want more of this? Because this is

00:42:50.880 what's coming. But listen to this little trio flashback. If you've been successful, you didn't

00:42:57.000 get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think,

00:43:04.080 well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there.

00:43:08.960 It must be because I worked harder than everybody else.

00:43:12.180 Let me tell you something.

00:43:13.220 There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

00:43:15.680 Somebody invested in roads and bridges.

00:43:17.500 If you've got a business, you didn't build that.

00:43:20.860 Somebody else made that happen.

00:43:24.220 The internet didn't get invented on its own.

00:43:26.600 There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.

00:43:31.280 Nobody.

00:43:32.200 You built a factory out there.

00:43:33.900 Good for you.

00:43:34.840 But I want to be clear.

00:43:35.940 you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest

00:43:43.640 of us paid to educate. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything

00:43:49.860 at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us

00:43:55.480 did. You know what their attitude is? I made my money all by myself. How dare your government

00:44:00.840 take my money from me. I don't want to pay taxes. Or I built my company with my bare hands. How dare

00:44:06.420 your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own,

00:44:13.320 or my employees? They hate government. Government's a barrier.

00:44:17.920 I'm cutting off, Chuck. Shut up, Chuck. No, listen, that's called infrastructure. Listen, 1.00

00:44:23.500 I could have taken the road to the arcade or to the crack dealer, but no, I took it to the

00:44:29.260 business i built that i built okay so whatever i i just remember hearing that for the first time

00:44:36.760 and i was like oh this guy hates us hates us go ahead and and i just have to add after hearing

00:44:44.000 all that crap but like who paid for the roads it wasn't the government it was the taxpayers

00:44:51.720 yeah and probably more likely the the the most of the taxes came from the people who are the 0.99

00:44:58.480 most wealthy. Yeah. Because their businesses and all the people that work for their companies and

00:45:03.120 all the different ways they pay taxes add up to probably a much larger share than any average

00:45:08.060 person contributed. So just remember, they hate you. They hate you. They want you pushed down

00:45:17.860 and, you know, on the struggle bus. So you're like, oh, help us, you know, overlords. And that's

00:45:23.280 what they want. And, you know, when I saw that clip, I was just like, oh, I was so angry all

00:45:28.260 over again. It's such a slap in the face of like, I think, especially the middle class who work so 1.00

00:45:34.760 freaking hard and have to just like give it all away. It's it's maddening, Joel.

00:45:40.400 Well, look at those three people. I mean, yeah, they're projecting because none of them has ever

00:45:46.360 had a job. OK. I mean, Obama spent his life in academia and politics. Elizabeth Warren,

00:45:52.520 academia and politics chuck schumer maybe he was at a law firm for a while but basically politics

00:45:57.640 how do you make money in politics well there's corruption but how do you actually run the

00:46:02.660 business of running for office and running a political party you have to beg people for

00:46:07.640 donations i mean all of our inboxes and text messages are full of people asking for money

00:46:11.980 how do they how do they make a living they have to ask people other people for money and that's

00:46:17.480 okay. That's our system, but they don't live off the sweat of their own labor. So they don't

00:46:23.460 appreciate hard work. And they, they just think money comes from other people because, because

00:46:28.300 it does. And we pay their salary and they always get a raise even when they suck. It's amazing. 0.99

00:46:35.020 I mean, the thing is, Elizabeth Warren is right. Obama's right. And Schumer's right. We all live

00:46:40.500 in a society, right? We all depend on each other, but for them, and this is really important.

00:46:46.120 for them the obligations end with taxes yeah they think that redistribution is the thing

00:46:55.400 that holds a society together and my old boss steve bannon had a great saying

00:47:00.460 which is that we're not an economy we're a nation and what conservatives remember and this is what

00:47:08.820 barry goldwater said in 64 he was seen as like the great libertarian conservative but he said

00:47:12.840 that conservatives get accused of being for the rich,

00:47:17.120 but actually conservatives are the ones

00:47:18.540 who are concerned about the human soul.

00:47:20.520 It's the Democrats who see everything

00:47:22.240 in terms of redistribution.

00:47:24.940 Conservatives understand that the things that unite us

00:47:27.320 are not economic. 1.00

00:47:29.420 That's why we care about these gender issues. 1.00

00:47:31.100 And that's why people were upset 1.00

00:47:33.040 about the COVID restrictions on churches,

00:47:34.760 because the things that matter to us

00:47:36.440 are not just who earned more, who earned less,

00:47:39.400 and how the money gets funneled around.

00:47:41.620 That's how Democrats think.

00:47:42.840 So they're right. Yeah. Why do people help each other? Why do people educate each other?

00:47:47.660 Did they go to school to educate the next generation that Elizabeth Warren talks about just because they were getting a salary?

00:47:53.700 Or did they go because they had some other ideal about what binds us as a society?

00:47:57.620 And the Democrats are busy destroying that.

00:47:59.520 So when you're James Tallarico and you put the pride flag in the classroom, it can even be alongside the American flag.

00:48:06.020 But if you put the pride flag, you're saying something different about the country.

00:48:08.540 and I'm okay with people putting other flags in for whatever reason. That's okay, but don't

00:48:15.780 undermine the American flag. And that's what they've done. They've taken these other things.

00:48:22.260 I'll give you a very quick story. Last weekend or two weekends ago, I went back to LA with my

00:48:27.080 daughter and she sang in a benefit concert with some other alumni from her elementary school.

00:48:32.380 They sang these songs about the constitution. There was a history teacher at the school who

00:48:37.040 wrote a musical about the Constitution 30 years ago, and he wrote about Lewis and Clark, and he

00:48:41.700 wrote about the Mill Girls in Lowell, Massachusetts, this whole year-long curriculum of musicals about

00:48:47.420 American history, beloved by generations of students. So the students came back and they

00:48:52.340 sang these musicals to raise money for a local charity. The school does not perform those

00:48:57.100 musicals anymore. For the last year or two, it has not performed the musicals. Why? Because somebody

00:49:02.460 complained and said the musicals are outdated. They're not politically correct. The Native

00:49:07.980 Americans in the Lewis and Clark musical aren't wearing authentic costume. There aren't enough 1.00

00:49:12.300 female characters. It wasn't woke enough. And so the Los Angeles public school district cracked 0.98

00:49:18.380 down on the school and said, you can't do this. We have to have editorial changes. You can't use

00:49:22.540 the word slave to describe someone who's a slave because it's triggering. And so they chased this

00:49:27.420 musical off campus. I did a story about that about a year ago for Breitbart when I was still at

00:49:31.940 Breitbart. The Secretary of Education in Texas saw the story and wrote to the history guy,

00:49:38.120 to the teacher, the musical director, his name is Jeff Lantos. He said,

00:49:41.420 I want you to apply for this new program we're doing in Texas for education for elementary

00:49:46.180 schools, because I love this idea. So he applied, he submitted a bid to be, you know, become a

00:49:51.340 contractor or whatever for the state. Now thousands of kids in Texas are going to perform these

00:49:55.740 musicals. And now Florida is getting involved. So from my little school next to my house that

00:50:00.440 burned down in the fire and it's sort of you know now in temporary classrooms i mean the musicals

00:50:05.500 got canceled there but other people are picking them up it's great that other people are picking 0.97

00:50:09.740 them up but why are kids in la being denied american history because of this woke crap 0.65

00:50:14.500 and and and that's the thing like why are we educating them about history so that we can 0.90

00:50:19.680 get more money out of them when they become taxpayers that's not why we do it right it's 1.00

00:50:24.180 the stuff that that binds us together why why was i okay with her there are no female characters in 1.00

00:50:28.640 the play about the constitution because there were no women in the room but but the girls are

00:50:32.340 playing men i mean my daughter played roger sherman who was a representative from connecticut

00:50:37.100 at the constitutional convention and a girl played george washington like you know the girls can do

00:50:41.920 it too it's just like it's just teach history yeah don't rewrite it i would say that you know

00:50:48.980 when you say why do we teach history i think a lot of the teachers that are teaching history

00:50:54.480 might have a different agenda in mind. You know what? I'm going to say one thing about that,

00:51:00.400 right? You're right generally, right? I'm not, I'm not disagreeing with you, but

00:51:04.880 the teacher at the school who alerted me to this whole thing in the first place

00:51:09.820 was one of the wokest teachers in school. And it was too much even for her. Wow. She was like,

00:51:15.920 this is nuts. Even I know it's nuts. Yeah. So, you know, one thing I discovered going around

00:51:25.320 the country when I covered the Democratic primary in 2020, I wrote my book, Red November,

00:51:30.240 was that a lot of the people at the rallies for Democrats were basically the same as the people

00:51:35.800 at the Trump rallies. I mean, there aren't that many differences among Americans on both sides.

00:51:41.480 I could relate to the people at the Democrat rallies. I could relate to the people at the

00:51:45.120 Trump rallies. The Democrats were in a weird bubble where they only believed the worst possible

00:51:51.800 things. And they had oriented their brains to live in this nightmare. And I guess it guided

00:51:57.220 their lives because it gave them something to struggle against. It gave them a sense of direction.

00:52:02.140 But they were perpetually unhappy. They were the same people, but they just chose to be unhappy.

00:52:08.100 Whereas the Trump people would come in and no matter what was happening in their lives

00:52:11.500 or in politics they just decided to have a great time and they decided to have fun and it's just

00:52:18.280 a totally different orientation um it's almost like scott's idea of systems versus goals thinking

00:52:24.240 if you're a democrat you're a goal-oriented thinker usually because what democrats offer

00:52:28.440 is this utopia that we can all reach one day if enough of us sacrifice and we get the right rules

00:52:33.380 in place and we put the right diverse people in charge of things we'll reach this kind of societal 0.64

00:52:38.120 utopia and then one day truly one day as biden used to say we'll finally reach that all men are

00:52:45.620 created equal he used to say you know we've never lived up to it but we're we're getting closer you

00:52:49.660 know so like this goal of like future equality whereas the republicans are like our system is

00:52:55.380 freedom and you can be free every single day you can be free every day it doesn't mean your your

00:53:00.980 society is perfect no but your freedom every day hell yeah that's good i mean i agree with gavin

00:53:07.240 Newsom on one thing only, which is that I feel more free in California than I feel anywhere else

00:53:13.820 in the country. He meant in terms of freedom to have an abortion, but I felt free. Like, you know,

00:53:18.460 California is the one place I've lived where nobody bothers me about my whatever iconoclastic 0.97

00:53:24.480 views and silly ideas. And I just, I just feel like California really is a place where people

00:53:29.880 kind of let you just be a little weird. And I feel comfortable there. That's actually, that's me.

00:53:34.480 I'm not a conventional Republican conservative.

00:53:37.760 I just, I love it.

00:53:38.900 I love the free nature of California.

00:53:40.820 I don't feel free in D.C., but this week I did.

00:53:44.020 I rode around here, you know, people in D.C., look, I've met some great people here.

00:53:48.240 We have a wonderful community in my neighborhood, whatever.

00:53:50.380 But you go on the train in D.C., it's the most joyless experience.

00:53:55.340 Nobody smiles.

00:53:56.400 And it's not just because they're in their phones.

00:53:57.640 People are in their phones everywhere.

00:53:59.080 But in D.C., nobody smiles.

00:54:00.600 It's just such a miserable place. 0.98

00:54:02.340 It's miserable. 0.95

00:54:02.900 but I'm like cruising down the street. I take one of those little scooters and I've got my

00:54:06.400 headphones on and my music and I'm like headbanging on the scooter. And I'm like, I might be the only

00:54:10.440 free person in DC, but I feel free today. I feel free. That freedom is a choice. And that's what

00:54:15.400 it means to be conservative because we're like, our system is freedom. So you win every day that

00:54:19.980 you're free. You don't have to necessarily get to where you're going, but you know, that's, I mean,

00:54:24.120 I think Scott, just to round out the thought, I know we're short on time, but one of the things

00:54:29.900 I discovered in the book. Scott had this idea he wrote about in How to Fail when he talked about

00:54:36.980 selfishness, that we need to be selfish. He said, don't feel bad about being selfish, meaning

00:54:42.940 take care of your health, go to the gym, save money, do things for yourself. Then once you've

00:54:50.460 done things for yourself, you will be better for other people. Like when you've made your money,

00:54:54.800 it's not that you don't do things for other people while you're making your money. You don't

00:54:58.280 have to separate those two in terms of time, but make sure that you take care of yourself while

00:55:02.340 you're also taking care of other people. That resonated with me because one of the most important

00:55:07.460 thinkers I read at college was Alexis de Tocqueville. And Alexis de Tocqueville became one of my

00:55:13.440 favorite writers and philosophers. And he wrote Democracy in America. And he has a chapter in

00:55:18.880 Democracy in America where he says the defining characteristic of Americans is they have this

00:55:24.320 idea of what he called self-interest properly understood. That is, everybody pursues their

00:55:29.760 own self-interest in America. People are out for themselves, but they're out for themselves in a

00:55:35.220 way that helps the community. That's the flip side of what Elizabeth Warren is saying, right? She's

00:55:39.300 like, you didn't build that or Trump or not Trump, Obama, you didn't build that. The Tocqueville

00:55:45.040 approach is you built that and you helped yourself and it helped other people. Yes. You know, Elon

00:55:51.640 Musk, right? Buying Twitter. Is he making money? I don't know. But like, he's selfish, but he freed

00:55:57.140 everybody because he got rid of the censorship. So it's self-interest properly understood. And I

00:56:02.200 thought, you know, Tocqueville visited America. I wonder if he visited near where Scott grew up.

00:56:09.160 And I looked at a map. I found a map of where Tocqueville traveled in his travels across America,

00:56:14.500 where he was doing his research for that book. And he went right past Scott's town.

00:56:18.140 Now, Tocqueville went to the part of upstate New York between Albany and Rochester, whatever

00:56:24.380 it is, where Scott grew up.

00:56:27.760 And I felt like that is it, that the town that Scott grew up in, and I spent some time

00:56:32.940 there with his sister and doing some research there.

00:56:35.740 But that, I think Scott imbibed some of those core American values that Tocqueville experienced

00:56:41.340 when he went through upstate New York and Ohio and other places, but especially upstate

00:56:45.780 New York.

00:56:46.080 upstate New York is urbane it's connected to New York City but it's also rural right it's got that

00:56:51.420 country vibe and I think I think Scott embodied the kind of contemporary spirit of Tocqueville

00:56:57.640 in his philosophy it's the most American thing ever it's so beautiful so I had moments like that

00:57:04.020 writing the book that's why I think people are going to enjoy it oh Joel I love that are you

00:57:09.260 allowed to go kayaking in the reflecting pool come on Joel we'll be watching we're like

00:57:15.980 Let's go, Joel.

00:57:18.420 I want to do a Forrest Gump and just like wade in and, you know.

00:57:21.920 My wife will hit it on the other side and we'll run toward each other.

00:57:24.920 I think by now Trump probably has snipers trained on the reflecting pool.

00:57:30.000 It would be a great ad for the Scott Adams school.

00:57:32.420 You can give us a shout out in there.

01:01:59.680 bye thanks joel i'm gonna get going see you later bye guys

01:02:11.580 here are the other buttons which are mostly self-explanatory but freedom is a big thing

01:02:22.740 people will trade a lot for freedom you could say would you like a bad life with freedom

01:02:29.120 or a good life with no freedom but people will take some bad life with freedom so if you ever

01:02:35.220 have a chance to create a situation where you can offer someone more freedom that's

01:02:41.180 very powerful. That's a bum. And you should get as much for yourself as you can. And you 0.98

01:02:46.240 can use it as a tool to help other people get what they want. Because they will train

01:02:49.780 a lot for freedom. Because they will train a lot for freedom. People will train a lot

01:03:01.120 for freedom. Because they will train a lot for freedom. And freedom can come in the

01:03:11.160 form of getting money that gives you freedom having a flexible schedule it gives you freedom

01:03:16.280 being in the right kind of social situation gives you freedom so there's lots of ways to get fear is

01:03:23.320 a motivator i don't recommend using it unless you're trying to save somebody yeah you could use

01:03:28.760 fear to keep them from smoking cigarettes for example i wouldn't use this in the evil way

01:03:34.040 curiosity is one of the most important and overlooked buttons on the human interface

01:03:39.320 You can see that authors that are good at it will make you curious at the end of the chapter so that you'll want to keep reading.

01:03:50.320 So that you'll want to keep reading.

01:03:56.320 Building curiosity into things is a really, really important button.

01:04:01.320 When you can joke somebody's curiosity, you can really shape what they do and you can shape your environment.

01:04:09.320 Through curiosity

01:04:11.180 Very, very powerful

01:04:14.100 But freedom is a big thing

01:04:17.140 People will trade a lot

01:04:19.240 For freedom

01:04:21.980 They will trade a lot

01:04:25.120 For freedom

01:04:27.520 People will trade a lot

01:04:30.440 For freedom

01:04:33.120 They will trade a lot

01:04:36.280 For freedom

01:04:39.320 We'll be right back.

01:05:09.320 Oh, I love that.

01:06:34.320 Peeps, one of my favorite candies, the yellow. I like the yellow bunnies compared to the chicks.

01:06:42.700 What's your favorite candy, you guys, for Halloween? Like, what do you steal out of

01:06:46.940 your kids' bags? I think Reese's are always like the favorite. What kind of gummies? Not that kind.

01:06:55.340 I feel like Reese's are like the most popular. No, you're not. You're giving away dollar coins?

01:07:04.320 Reese's. I love peeps, Jim Courtney, the yellow ones. Twix. Snickers. Snickers are good. Oh,

01:07:16.740 nerds. Yeah, nerds are fun. Reese's require extra inspection. You have to taste them to make sure. 0.95

01:07:24.940 Mm-hmm. Baby Ruth. All right, Lang, sugar is poison. We know. No temptation for you.

01:07:38.340 What's your address? It's 123 Main Street, any town, USA.

01:07:45.580 Candy corn. Stop it. You're the person they're making it for? 0.85

01:08:11.200 size too. You guys, I bought boxes of the candy that kids sell for fundraisers. So they're like

01:08:17.320 big bars. I'm just putting all that out there. I can't wait. Reese's, Peeps, and candy corn during

01:08:25.240 the holidays. You go, Dorothy. Yeah, no, there's no fighting over it. Hershey bars, just like a

01:08:33.700 traditional Hershey bar. Look at that. I have Hershey bars in there too, actually. Peeps are

01:08:38.900 your kryptonite. I love it. Oh, no. Bookish, I have a weird reaction to the Dubai dark chocolate.

01:08:45.840 not like a, uh, an eating reaction, but there's something about the picture. This is a really

01:08:52.440 weird thing. I almost can't even talk about it, but for some reason, when I see that bar,

01:08:58.220 like the picture of the Dubai chocolate cracked in half with like the pistachio stuff on the

01:09:02.960 inside, I don't know why, but it gives me like, I almost want to vomit when I think about it.

01:09:08.320 I don't know why. I don't know why I love pistachios. I love dark chocolate,

01:09:11.640 but for some reason, I can't do it. Beef jerky. We could give out beef jerky over here.

01:09:18.040 Are you guys prepping at all? Are you guys like at all concerned with these warnings and are you

01:09:25.780 getting anything? Oh, fangs. Let me see. Oh, what about wax fangs? Oh, York peppermint patty minis. 0.75

01:09:36.860 it's so delightful. Let me see. It's a reaction to the patriarchy. Oh my goodness.

01:09:51.640 You're still prepped from Obama. You're always ready in California. I had to break into my

01:09:57.380 Ebola survival kit a few years ago. I forget what I needed out of there.

01:10:00.840 water and toilet paper always prepping more ammo you're prepped goldie all right what's

01:10:10.120 what are like two items that people should know like not your typical water and toilet paper but

01:10:19.100 like what are two obscure items that you think people forget about that they should have

01:10:23.680 like two things that someone might not think about.

01:10:32.740 What do you mean you thought it was a PSYOP? Trash bags. That's good. Cash.

01:10:41.260 Let me see.

01:10:44.820 A ham radio, but I mean, isn't that hard to get? I don't know.

01:10:48.540 can opener, a non-electric can opener, you guys, salt. Yep.

01:10:57.820 Nipple butter. I don't know if that was in response to something, but all right. 0.95

01:11:02.440 Fuel for the vehicles, pet food. You guys don't forget the pets. Gatorade.

01:11:09.920 oh nj let's see polycystrine what is that i mean i've i know the name but what is it and why do

01:11:22.800 we need a cat litter hand turned flashlight extra batteries these are all good you guys so just

01:11:31.360 think about like what's around your house and what you might need like oh i have a flashlight okay

01:11:35.900 but do you have batteries? Make sure. I love pistachios. Mouthwash and deodorant toothpaste.

01:11:46.460 Yep. Maybe like, like body wipes in case you can't like take a full on shower. All right.

01:11:52.840 Thanks. Thank you. I mean, now why would you post that flutch? He's a solar everything.

01:12:05.900 Oh, polysaurin and band-aids.

01:12:11.280 Uh-huh.

01:12:12.120 Yes.

01:12:12.980 Yeah.

01:12:18.460 Cheese.

01:12:19.680 Sure.

01:12:20.320 Cheese is nice.

01:12:21.840 I mean, if it's winter, you could just make your garage like a refrigerator.

01:12:26.420 I have a fuzz on my nose.

01:12:27.680 It's making me nuts.

01:12:30.760 Ciao.

01:12:31.240 Oh, battery backup for your CPAP.

01:12:35.900 Let's go. Matches? Yes. Drive. All right. So now, Jim, if the shit hits the fan, can we

01:12:46.900 use our stoves? Can we cook? That's what I was wondering. Dr. Drew's emergency medical kit. 0.99

01:12:58.720 listen even if it's if this whole thing is just to scare us or whatever

01:13:07.140 it is true that it's just better to be prepared i mean you know you could have like a weird storm

01:13:14.320 you could have a hurricane you could have anything um probably just better

01:13:20.480 you have a 300 gallon propane tank and a propane stove all right but jim you also have like five

01:13:28.680 thousand acres in Alaska. So we should go to gyms. What are you getting, Luddite? One of those kits

01:13:39.460 from Dr. Drew? Propane camp stove. I was like, wait, what? Extra medication. Yeah. So all right,

01:13:55.500 you guys, these are some good ideas. So just have some stuff. I mean, you know, some people are like,

01:14:02.200 oh, in case it's like, you know, three to nine days, I would say have more than that.

01:14:08.880 And, oh, you know what you need to do too? I don't think phones are going to work, but

01:14:13.000 they, I was listening to somebody and they were like, make sure you actually know people's phone

01:14:19.420 numbers, like write them down because you won't be able to like look through your phone perhaps.

01:14:23.860 So maybe you could print out a list of the contacts in your phone so you have people's

01:14:30.080 phone number. I don't know, guys. I don't know. Hopefully nothing's going to happen,

01:14:35.100 but it is better to be prepared. What is that? And you guys, my other thing. Oh, okay. That

01:14:45.140 looks good. That chocolate looks good. The other thing I can't handle, chocolate-covered fruit,

01:14:51.980 like a chocolate covered cherry. I said gun to my head. If I had to eat one, I would eat a 0.97

01:14:57.900 chocolate covered strawberry, but like gun to my head and like chocolate covered fruit. It's just

01:15:05.320 a no for me. I had to share that with you for some reason. Water purifier. Good, good.

01:15:14.700 Adding extra to our pickup. Okay. All right. So I feel like you guys, you're thinking a lot of you

01:15:21.500 have really good answers. Um, hopefully we'll never need this stuff, but hopefully it's all

01:15:28.400 no luddite now, but hopefully it's all things that you'll use anyway. Okay. So, um, you know,

01:15:36.060 the advice is don't get things you would never eat. Like, like for me, I'm not going to eat a

01:15:41.020 can full of Vienna sausages. So that's not something I'm going to pick up. Oh my gosh.

01:15:47.520 I know everyone's got their, you know what? I had like a traumatizing moment as a child with

01:15:54.060 chocolate covered fruit. Actually that picture of me at my kindergarten graduation, I used to go

01:15:59.400 there during the summer for camp and it was on a ride home from summer camp from there that I had

01:16:06.000 a chocolate covered cherry. I didn't know it was a chocolate covered cherry. Somebody asked me if I

01:16:10.740 wanted a piece of chocolate. I put it in my mouth and I bit down and all this like cherry juice came

01:16:17.860 out and I was paralyzed for life. I was just like, oh my God, I'm going to die. So yep. Trader Joe's.

01:16:25.660 What do you get there? Chocolate. Oh, you don't like just the plain chocolate? My friend Mindy

01:16:32.760 loves her chocolate too. Look at us just chitty chatting over here. Uh-huh.

01:16:40.740 I always say like, sometimes I shop and it looks like I'm shopping for like 15,

01:16:49.900 15 year old kids that are like stoned and it's not. What in particular are you talking about

01:16:55.620 prepping for? Um, because there's just been a lot of talk about the military bases being fortified,

01:17:02.200 um, for they all around the world, basically they want the military bases to be able to be

01:17:09.180 self-sufficient, like with no outside assistance or electricity or food or anything for 90 days,

01:17:18.900 like that they have to be prepared for 90 days. And then other countries are telling their

01:17:24.960 residents, you guys should have a little stockpile at home for three to nine days. I think Sweden

01:17:33.480 said for three weeks. So we're all just like, yeah, our base is, but everyone's like, well,

01:17:39.460 why are other countries, like Japan's telling their residents also to have a little stockpile?

01:17:45.080 So I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to get myself a little stockpile too. So I was just saying,

01:17:49.820 what things do we not think about that we should have? Europe is preparing for war, correct?

01:17:56.320 Perfect. You knew you liked Mindy, right? Yes. Eat your prep food and replenish. Yes.

01:18:07.200 Who gets EJ? Love it. Love it. Love it. All right, you guys. So I guess I better just keep

01:18:19.840 moving. Get the MRE bucket from Costco, a hundred dollars. How many meals is that for?

01:18:29.760 Let's see. Alien invasion. Listen. Yes. Water, lots of water, right? 0.97

01:18:37.960 Yep. Yep. Yep.

01:18:41.480 So I know I have, I think I have one phone turned on or that like I could use a landline phone,

01:18:48.820 but the ringer is not on. It hasn't been on for 15 years, 30 days. All right. That a hundred

01:18:56.780 dollars is good. That's like, okay. So that's like emergency, emergency guys. All right. Like

01:19:02.400 we're talking apocalypse. So if that's the case, you know, that's a whole different story, but

01:19:09.960 I'm sure we're going to be fine, but I'd rather just know that I have some things at home.

01:19:16.960 We don't have to get crazy, but just, you know, remember your whole family

01:19:21.780 and whatever you might need. Hook up an answering machine and see who leaves messages. I know it

01:19:29.020 wouldn't be anybody. Oh, okay. Chocolate covered coconut. Absolutely. Yes. Love that. Scott's books.

01:19:40.600 Yep. You're, you're fueled up in that department. We meet at the reflection pond.

01:19:54.720 Yeah. So, you know, I just got some backup batteries, just some extra pet food and, um,

01:20:03.620 food that like you wouldn't really need to cook just in case. So that's all toilet paper.

01:20:16.960 Yes. Yes. MCN. Oh, X, Y, Z.

01:20:26.560 Penny. All right. Um, you guys, I'm reading your comments.

01:20:31.160 mounds. Yeah. I like coconut and chocolate for sure. So that's an exception. I could probably

01:20:40.940 handle like chocolate and banana and chocolate and coconut because those are like, they're mellow.

01:20:47.300 But if you get like that little fruit acidity, thank you, Mrs. Scoop.

01:20:54.860 Thank you. Thank you. All right, guys. So, um, I mean, I could just stay on here. You guys can

01:21:01.920 keep chatting. Um, and joy has nuts. Mounds don't. Water, water, water. Julie, have a great weekend. 1.00

01:21:13.880 and Illinois location. Oh, and listen to Erica. 1.00

01:21:23.920 Oh my God. Oh, Mary Kay. 0.99

01:21:30.820 Oh yeah. See now the chocolate covered oranges were also like a big Italian thing. I can't do

01:21:36.540 it. Mm-hmm. I want to, but they ruined me at camp that year. Thanks, Crusher.

01:21:50.720 Listen, we have to carry on. I mean, we have Halloween. We've got Thanksgiving coming.

01:21:59.400 Oh, God. See, that's where I get lost, Fletcher. It's like, I don't know.

01:22:03.440 that's when you realize you're so unprepared when they're like, well,

01:22:07.500 just have a little file of like the paperwork you need. I don't know what I need.

01:22:15.000 Bottom of the line chocolates. What, what's bottom of the line chocolates, Flynn?

01:22:23.000 A chow chow. What's a chow chow?

01:22:29.400 You forgot Thanksgiving.

01:22:33.440 your foot's going to itch. Oh my gosh. Honey and peanut butter are shelf stable forever. Are they

01:22:40.920 for, I know honey is, I didn't know peanut butter is sure. Metal seer. Come on over.

01:22:48.380 I am lucky because all of like our neighbors know each other and I have lots of friends that I could

01:22:55.040 walk to their houses. Really? The chocolate and coconut hat. Oh no pineapple. No.

01:23:03.440 chow chow is a weird fruit type of compote oh

01:23:09.760 southern pickle like relish

01:23:14.040 i like pickles

01:23:17.200 at the hall bah humbug you are i kind of am too i kind of am too that's why i go to my friend's

01:23:28.520 house for dinner. There's a group of us and they live in neighborhoods where there aren't many

01:23:34.580 trick-or-treaters and we're just like, let's make dinner reservations and just get out. And I used

01:23:38.920 to give my candy to my neighbor across the street and they would hand it out. But whatever. You have

01:23:44.620 a glorious weekend too. Yes, yes, yes. All right, you guys. So let's do it. I'm for real going to

01:23:52.080 get moving. But I love hanging out with you guys. Oh, I couldn't do a show last night. I was going

01:23:57.740 to maybe do one for, um, I want to do a replay of one of our shows and do it live. Like I did the

01:24:05.120 other day with the Gadsad interview that way we can all, you know, like rewatch it and chat live

01:24:10.980 on the thing. So I think I am going to do one tonight and, um, I was going to do it last night,

01:24:17.000 but I went to the eye doctor yesterday and he dilated my eyes. I ended up getting like a

01:24:21.200 headache. And I was just like, oh Lord. Oh, thanks Holly. Stella is, she's good. I filled her up to

01:24:29.360 her gills with food before the show, but I will say she's been shaking her head a little. So I'm

01:24:34.920 like, oh no, what's going on? Something with her ears. But we're going to the vet tomorrow for

01:24:40.720 just kind of a checkup. So I'll have them checking her ears. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. Surprise guests

01:24:49.980 next week, I might, I'm going to figure it out today, move him to a different day because

01:24:57.420 Marcella has given me some days that she can't be on. So I might ask him to move to a day that
