And if you'd like to take it up a level — and I know you do because that's the kind of people you are — do you settle for the best day ever? No, that's not good enough. Let's take it up a level.
All you need is a copper mug or glass, a tankard — tell us, not in a canteen, jug, or flask — a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Watch this. Watch it. Savor it. Savor it. Good. Good job on the simultaneous sip.
Those of you who only watched — well, some people like to watch. Some people like to get right in there, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? Some people just want to sit in the corner and watch, but that's okay. That's okay. I'm not judging. I'm not judging.
Yes, the people who do the simultaneous sip are better than all the other people. No, I didn't say that. I'm just kidding.
Well, you should know if you're not on the locals subscription platform following me that I'm almost at my 200th micro lesson. These are these little two- to four-minute lessons where I teach you a life skill that you can actually use forever, and we've got over about 200 of them. The one I did yesterday was a micro lesson on persuasion voice, so how to control your voice for maximum persuasion. So that's on locals.
Last night my house got vandalized. Yes, my house got vandalized. Now, I don't know who vandalizes a house that's bristling with video cameras, but it's probably going to turn out to be a bad play because I expect that ten minutes after I get off this call I'm going to have a license plate and an identification. Let me just caution anybody who wants to screw with my neighborhood. My neighborhood is pretty prepared. So yeah, you can cause some damage to my house, and we don't know exactly if I was targeted or somebody else in the house was the target of it. But it's going to cost me some money to fix it. It'll cost me some money, and I will know who did it, probably in an hour.
So if you happen to be watching or know somebody who did that, just know that I'm going to be on them at about some time before lunch. Just know I'm coming for you. I'll have your identification probably either somebody already has that or they're just waiting to tell me. So anyway, just thought I'd tell you that. I don't know if there'll be more as it gets closer to election time. I'm expecting a lot more attacks on me personally. Aren't you? Don't you expect that there should be a major hit piece developing on me somewhere by now? Because I have a little bit too much influence. So whoever thinks I'm influencing in the wrong direction is going to be probably looking for some journalist to take me out. But good luck with that. Good luck with that.
All right, so the news is there are rumors coming out of Washington and the White House, and I would say these are probably just rumors, that Kamala Harris looks so unelectable that they're looking at getting rid of her. But they might do it with a promotion, which would be the most diabolical way to get rid of a vice president. What is the most diabolical way to get rid of a vice president if you have to pick one thing? If you're familiar with the Dilbert comic, yeah, you promote her. She might get promoted to the Supreme Court so they could get rid of her. Seriously.
Keep in mind that the Supreme Court is, in my opinion, the last credible institution, which doesn't mean I agree with them all the time, but I think a lot of people would have the same opinion. The Supreme Court is our last credible institution. Even if you don't like their decisions, you know at least they're credible. But if you put Kamala Harris on there for what would look like an obvious just-getting-rid-of-her reason, I'm not sure that makes the Supreme Court more credible. I think that would make it less credible.
I'm not saying because of her qualifications or because of her leaning left or any of that. It's just because if you think she was put there to get rid of her, you're just going to have a whole different idea about the Supreme Court. Oh, that's where you put the losers to get rid of them. I mean, that's not the case, but it would feel like that.
I'm going to say that the Supreme Court rumor is false. They may have talked about it, but I'm going to predict that does not happen. Anybody want to challenge that prediction? Kamala Harris will not be named to the Supreme Court. They might be talking about it, but I don't think they can pull the trigger because that would just be so ugh. Right? You wouldn't even know how to put words on that, would you? You would just hear that story and you'd go like, it can't even be described, it's so awful.
Anyway, here's some more weirdness. Jack Posobiec was noting that the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell case is James Comey's daughter. Now, have I told you that one of the tells that we live in a simulation is character reuse? Not just code reuse, but specifically characters. Let me give you an example. This is from my real life. I think I could tell this story, and I can't tell this story well. Suffice to say a weird coincidence happened in my personal life that the same people keep popping up in all kinds of different contexts. So there's one person who popped up in one context who I knew from another context, and it was just a weird coincidence. But what are the odds that a case of this magnitude would have somebody from the known set of characters on it?
I think the answer is usually pretty good because in Washington, isn't every high-end lawyer related to a politician or married to one or used to work for one? Yeah, I think in some places you would expect these kinds of coincidences. Not really a big coincidence because everybody who goes into law has some kind of connection to somebody important, it seems like.
Anyway, I guess the judge is not going to allow the case to be televised, and there's speculation that they're protecting the elite pedophiles. I don't think that's why. If I had to guess it would be this. Now it could be just a general feeling that they don't want to make a spectacle out of the case. That'd be a good enough reason for me. But the other reason might be that a lot of names are going to come up associated with Ghislaine Maxwell and with Epstein, and they're not all guilty. You know what I mean?
I do genuinely think that he associated with people who were not necessarily doing any crimes. They might have just run into him, didn't know what was going on, interacted with them longer than they should have. Bill Gates, for example, might be one of those. So I would think that a smart judge would want to close the proceedings just because lots of names would come up without a case against them. It's one thing if prosecutors have a case, but if names just come up as associates or people they knew or people who traveled with them, I feel that would be deeply unfair in our system of justice.
What do you think? Don't you think it would be deeply unfair to start hearing names of people who just were in the circle? Trump, for example. Bill Clinton. I don't have any evidence that they did anything wrong, either one of them, nor do I have evidence that they didn't. I don't have evidence one way or the other. But I don't think that unless you're going to bring a case against them, I don't think we should be hearing these names in some kind of defamatory way.
Well, let's talk about the Omicron virus, which the World Health Organization knows literally nothing about. This is what they said on their tweet. This is the WHO: "We don't yet know whether it is associated with more transmission." Well, that'd be pretty important to know. We don't know if it gives you risk. We don't know risks of reinfection, risk of evading the vaccines. Basically we don't know anything about it. So you should be very, very afraid about the thing we don't know anything about, I guess. But they're working urgently to answer those questions.
Now, I ask this question because I'm an optimist, not because it's likely. I'm just an optimist. I'm trying to think of any way that any virus would stop circulating because we've talked about this before. For some reason they just stop. Now the old thinking was that things stopped because you reached some kind of herd immunity, but we know that that's not the case. Like the Spanish flu, I don't think, reached herd immunity but it stopped.
So I had speculated, and I'm getting closer to saying this is probably true, that the only way a virus stops is that it creates its own vaccination. Meaning that a variant eventually comes out that affects people as well or better than the original but doesn't make them that sick and then gives them some immunity against the bad one. Is there any scientific evidence for that at all? I can't tell if this is me just spitballing or if there's any science. Who's said something similar? Well, I know a dead host is useless. Yeah, but that's not exactly the answer here.
Okay, well that's what I think is happening. And one possibility is that this is the one. The Omicron might be the vaccination. It might be the end of the pandemic. But it's too early to say that because the early reports of mild symptoms are coming out of South Africa. Now South Africa is part of a continent in which people are way younger, way thinner, way less likely to have any problems at all. So I think that even the regular COVID would have given them, the same group of people, mild symptoms. So I don't think we know if Omicron is worse or not. Too soon to know. But we don't see evidence of people having worse problems from it. So we don't know that it's better, but there's no evidence of it being worse. So that's not quite data. That's short of being data.
But I'm feeling like it's time. It just feels like this is it. I'm not sure I felt like this before, so I can't tell you that my feeling is based on anything that you should believe because it's just a feeling. But I am feeling that this Omicron is going to be a mild one and that it will finish up our herd immunity in its own weird way.
I said this on Twitter yesterday and I got almost no pushback on it, which is the story itself. So here's something that I couldn't have said one year ago. The public wasn't ready for this. You ready?
So I've told you that there's some big shift in public awareness that's happening, and I'm going to talk about that a little bit more. But the first thing I noticed was this dog that stopped barking for about, I don't know, five years since I started doing public stuff about politics. For most of those five years the biggest criticism I got was, "Oh yeah, we should listen to the cartoonist. Let's not just listen to the experts. Oh, we should pay attention to the cartoonist. Sure, cartoon boy, tell us what you're thinking. We'll just stop listening to the scientists and the experts. We'll just listen to the cartoonist."
That all stopped. It's all stopped. And I didn't notice it for a while, and it took me a little bit to figure out why. Now I could take credit for maybe being more credible, but I don't think that's what's happening. I don't think that people's opinion of my credibility has changed because of my performance. I'd love to think that the world was like that. You know, they could see me doing a good job and then they could say, "Oh, that one's doing a good job predicting, so we'll give him a little more credibility." No, I don't think that happened.
Here's what I think happened. I think it was like Trump beating Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump never made himself more popular. He simply made her less popular successfully. And remember I predicted that. I said Trump doesn't need to become more popular. He just has to make her less popular. And then he went out and did that. He did exactly that.
So I think what happened is that the experts have so self-immolated that almost anybody seems credible relative to the experts now because the experts have done such a bad job. At least it looks that way. I would argue that it isn't so bad, but the public impression of the experts is awful right now. So suddenly if you say, "Well, I heard it from an expert" versus "I heard it from a cartoonist," they don't sound that different anymore, do they? They should. I mean they should sound different. But the experts have done such a good job of destroying their own credibility that people just don't say that about me anymore. So that's the first thing.
So I did a little experiment on Twitter because I was very curious about many of my critics who seemed to think I had completely different opinions than the ones I actually have. And they were quite adamant in their criticisms of the things I don't think and have never said. And I wondered, where is that coming from? And is this something that happens to everybody and I just see more of it because I have more of a public profile? And so I did a little experiment to find out, and I think I have the answer. I didn't think I would necessarily get one, but I do.
So I tweeted, "If you're one of my critics, tell me in one clear sentence what you believe is true that you think I don't." You know, just give me the one thing we disagree on. What do you think happened when I asked people — my critics, the people who are really, really mad at me — to tell me what they disagree with? What do you think happened? Almost none of them disagreed with me.
Yeah, no, it wasn't crickets because they had to say something. But I'll give you some of the examples of what they imagined I was saying that I didn't. I'll tell you why they imagined it. There's a very specific reason. The people who think they disagreed with me and that I'm talking crazy almost all were Twitter followers or people who had seen me on Twitter but not the live stream. All right? So the people who've seen my live streams had a completely different opinion of me. But on Twitter the biggest complaint was that I don't seem to take a side. I'm not taking a side. Or that I seem to be on both sides of issues. Is that fair? Would you say that that observation is true based on Twitter anyway? That I seem to be on both sides of issues.
That's how it works. Every issue has some positives on one side and some negatives on one side. So if you're not on both sides of every issue, are you even thinking independently? You should at least be able to say, "Oh, here's a good point on this side. Here's a good point on the other side."
Now on Twitter I think I'm less likely to state a direct opinion than I am here. I hadn't really thought about it, but I think that's true. So the people on Twitter, I call the underinformed the binaries. They're people who see two teams and they see you saying things that would be good for one team but wait, now you're saying things that would be good for the other team. So now, Scott, you're being ambiguous. How can you say something good for one team and then also say something good about the other team? That doesn't make any sense. So, Scott, you won't take a side. So therefore you're a weasel. That's what they say. Is that what's happening? And some people say I'm betting both sides. It's called fence sitting. Some people say, yeah, I would call it looking at all the issues. I mean that's what it looks like to me.
So the binaries are the people who believe that everything fits into the two buckets and I never fit into the two buckets. So the binary choice is don't take the vaccine because it's dangerous or take the vaccination because it's good and you know it's more good than bad, right? Those are the binaries.
Cassandra says you fell for several hoaxes but yet you won't be able to name any. Watch this. Cassandra, name a hoax I fell for. I'll just wait for you. So on YouTube, name a hoax that I fell for. If you mean the Covington kids for exactly 24 hours, that would be true. The name, if we're talking about the virus, yeah, there won't be anything, right? So the Covington kids was, yeah, I was fooled by a hoax for all of 24 hours, so I cop to that.
You fell for the ICL model? No, I didn't. I don't know what that is. I'm sure I didn't fall for it. Previously vaccinated poses a far greater risk? No, the science is not growing on that. You're reading crackpots. I'm not ruling it out, but the science is not growing on that. I don't think that's true.
So here's what's happening. I think the people on Twitter who don't see me dealing with the whole issue, they just see me say things like, "I'm not sure if the vaccines work but I took them." Because that doesn't fit into another category, right? I don't know if the vaccines are good or bad. I only know that I decided to take them. Nobody else has that opinion that I know of, or at least they don't say it in public. Probably lots of people have it.
Or how about this: I think lockdowns work and we totally shouldn't do them, right? It doesn't fit into your box. People say either the lockdowns don't work and we shouldn't do them or they do work and we should do them. I say they do work but we shouldn't do them.
Let me give you some of the other comments that people believe I think. This is things that people said about me. You think vaccines work. Is that an accurate description of me? You think vaccines work. All I know is I took them and every expert in every country says that they work. That's what I know. Do you disagree with the fact that 99 percent say that they do work and that I took it? That's all I know. And I know that there are other people who are serious people, mostly rogue people, but they have credentials and I acknowledge that they say there could be some big problem. All right, so that's two nuances, I guess.
Somebody says I strategically avoid stating my position. No, I don't. No, I don't. I just don't always do it on Twitter. You believe it's likely that the vax compliance close to 100 will make the government remove restrictions. And somebody says there's no chance that — yes, I do believe that and so do all of you. So do all of you. If it'll never happen, right? We don't think it can happen. But imagine if California reached 100 percent vaccination or 95 percent. They would lose their argument for continuing to keep things locked down, especially as the therapeutics are coming online.
So I believe that if vax compliance was high, which I don't recommend — I'm not recommending you get them. I'm not recommending you do or don't get a booster. So I'm not saying what you should do. That's the problem. I'm just saying predictably if the government's reason for lockdowns goes away, probably the lockdowns will. Not right away, but we could make it happen.
If you got COVID, why would you not try ivermectin? I don't know. I don't know why. Do you think that I disagree with you? I would try it. So can I say that I think it's very unlikely that ivermectin is the solution to COVID and at the same time can I say but if I got COVID I would take ivermectin right away because I don't fear the consequences of it hurting me? So I occupy all these weird middle grounds where I can feel both sides.
But I don't think he didn't have it quite right. Somebody said they've successfully inserted — they being, I know, the deep state or somebody — have successfully inserted the narrative of blaming the wave of heart problems on COVID and the blue pills have taken it hook, line, and sinker. And that I'm the canary in the coal mine. So the suggestion is that I'm part of accepting the narrative that the wave of heart problems are the COVID and not the vaccination itself. No, no, no. That doesn't describe me at all.
What I would say is we don't know. I'm saying that all data is unreliable. There is definitely alarming stories about people dying. Usually those alarming stories turn out to be fake. They're just coincidence or misinterpretation. But I'm not going to tell you that the heart problems from the vaccination are less or more than the COVID risk. I'm just saying that they both have a risk. How in the world would I know which one is bigger? How would I ever know that?
All right, anyway, I could do some more of this. But my favorite one is the abacus. He's a user who sent me a list of tells for being a fascist and says that you should look at how many Scott Adams applies to. So I'm going to read the list of how to know you're a fascist and I want you to vote in the comments which of these apply to me.
Powerful and continuing nationalism. Yes or no? Does that apply to me? Powerful and continuing nationalism. People are saying no. Really? Definitely yes. Yes, yes. If this is a tell for being a fascist, absolutely. I have a powerful and continuing sense of nationalism. I'm not apologizing for that. I would call that patriotic and I would hope that people in other countries feel the same about their country. I hope so because I'm sure some of their countries are quite awesome and they should feel quite proud about it.
All right, how about this? The second one is disdain for human rights. Do I display a disdain for human rights? No. How about identification of enemies as a unifying cause? That would be everybody, right? Is there anybody who doesn't identify the side that's causing them problems? There's nobody who doesn't do that. So yes, I absolutely do this. So so far two out of three signs of fascism.
I perfectly identify with supremacy of the military. Well, supremacy meaning the military runs the country? I'm vehemently opposed to that. But I would like our military to be supreme compared to other militaries. So this one's ambiguous, but I certainly don't want the military running our country.
Rampant sexism. Did you know that was part of fascism? I feel like this was just like a woke thing that got added to the list. Rampant sexism. What's that got to do with fascism? But do I display rampant sexism? Rampant sexism would be the idea that some genders are superior. Yes, I do. Yes, I do have rampant sexism. I believe that men cannot have babies, for example. Some of you disagree, I know. But I believe that women are superior to men in the production of human life. You know, men are pretty good at their part, but when it comes to actually incubating the baby and producing it, compared to men, women do that way, way better. So I guess I am a rampant sexist because I do think women make babies better than men.
How about controlled mass media? Well, I don't control the mass media, so not sure that applies. Obsession with national security. Who isn't? Is there somebody here who doesn't think national security would be really high on the list of things to be concerned about? I cop guilty to that.
Religion and government intertwined. Well, I'm not a believer, but I do acknowledge that the United States has intertwined Christianity and government and got a good result, I think. Now I could criticize lots of elements of that and have, but I wouldn't doubt the fact that religion and government formed not a perfect union but pretty good. Pretty good.
Corporate power protected. Yeah, I want corporate power protected. That's why we have laws. We have laws to protect everybody, including corporations. And corporations of course are created for the benefit of the people. It just helps rich people more, but it doesn't hurt other people mostly.
Labor power suppressed. Have I wanted to suppress any labor power? I'm pro-union, so I don't know about that.
Disdain for intellectuals and the arts. Well, okay. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts. Guilty. Guilty.
Obsession with crime and punishment. Well, obsession is just sort of a trigger word, isn't it? Isn't everybody very interested in crime and punishment? I mean it's part of the texture of life.
How about rampant nepotism and corruption? Yes, I have hired relatives. I have in fact hired relatives. Now I don't run the government, so I think that would matter. Corruption, not so much.
And then fraudulent elections. Oh, I don't think that's me. You're talking about that might be the Democrats.
So anyway, this list of what it means to be a fascist is completely ridiculous. But apparently I do meet quite a few of those things unapologetically.
All right, the Waukesha narrative is getting hilarious with CNN. These are two things that CNN has said without being embarrassed apparently. On CNN they reported Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today. This might have been a tweet or a headline, I can't remember. Marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others. Now I am mad at that car. If it had had a driver, we'd probably want to know more about that driver. But CNN's reporting it was a car. So now we have rogue cars driving through parades and killing people. And that's a trend I hope doesn't continue. But no mention of a human involved in the crime. Just a car.
Also on CNN said that a New York NYPD hate crimes task force is investigating after police say an Asian American woman was attacked with a large rock. So it's worse than just the cars going rogue. Now the rocks are throwing themselves. It's dangerous to go outside. You got your COVID. You got your cars driving themselves after you. You got your rocks that are just flying through the air on their own. It's a dangerous world, people. It's a dangerous world.
So of course what's happening here is if anybody was white like Rittenhouse, they would be talking non-stop about that white supremacist, which is not, you know, that would be fake news. But that's what they do and did. But as soon as it's not a white male who's the alleged perpetrator, well, it's just the car driving itself and the rocks throwing themselves. Because the last thing we're going to do is blame anybody who's not a white male.
All right, I believe that there is an awakening happening and it looks like this. So it's a bunch of things that are happening. They're changing the consciousness of the country. Now I predicted this would happen after Trump, that we would just see reality differently. And specifically we saw that the news is fake. But mostly only the right saw that. The left thought it was only the news on the right that was fake. But the right I think is a little more aware that even the news from their own side could be fake. They're more likely to believe the news on the right, but they know now it could be made up because they've seen enough examples. But the left is just figuring that out with the Rittenhouse case in particular. And now with the Waukesha story, I'm hearing anecdotally — so we don't have a poll on this, but anecdotally — a lot of Hollywood people, a lot of left-leaning people, and people are sending me tweets, you know, private communications showing that their leftist friends have gone over to the other side. And they don't say it in public, but a lot of left-leaning people are just waking up and said, "Wait a minute, is all of the news fake? How long has this been going on?" Yeah, all of the political news is fake. I don't know about the rest of it, but all of the political news is fake. It has been for a long time. So the left is figuring that out.
Here's what else is going on to further wake them up. The Democrats are watching the far left of their own party destroy their chances of ever having political power again. So certainly the moderate Democrats are saying, "Wait a minute, why are we associating with this crowd? They're batshit crazy." So they're seeing their own wing being crazy while they always accuse the right of having the crazy wing, which it does. So both sides have crazy wings. I would say both are racist. You know, if you go far enough to the right you get racists, but most of the right are not. If you go far enough to the left you get racists, but most of the Democrats are not leading hard in that direction.
All right, Hollywood has even turned on the wokeness. I mentioned a TV series I've been watching called The Sex Lives of College Girls. I know, I know, it sounds like porn or something, but think of it as it's basically Sex and the City redone with college freshmen. So think of it that way. So it's just the Sex and the City model, which is four or five females working out their sex lives. So this is just a college setting. Now Mindy Kaling is one of the producers of this with one other guy, I guess. So Mindy Kaling is behind it, and that's important because it viciously mocks woke culture. And even one of the main characters is apparently a Trump supporter, but they don't say that. A female Trump supporter. Now I'm the one saying Trump supporter. The show doesn't say that at all. It just looks like a Republican. But the fact that Hollywood is viciously mocking the woke people in the show, that's different, right? It's now a subject of ridicule.
So you've seen Bill Maher turn against the wokeness, and now we see a pretty big property with a woman who you would imagine would be in the woke crowd because she's in Hollywood, person of color, woman — you know, every characteristic that would make you think she'd be the wokest person in Hollywood. And she's producing a show that mocks it. Now it could be that that's not necessarily her opinion. She might just be a good artist who likes to put out content that's provocative and may not match your personal opinions. That's a thing. But just the fact that it's even on at all, it means something to me.
Now you also have to add in Biden and Harris's approvals are in the toilet and the Build Back Better thing's looking bad. So Rasmussen had a poll just came out: 51 percent of likely U.S. voters oppose the Build Back Better bill. Now 51 isn't a landslide number, but it certainly tells you that there are more than just Republicans who don't like this thing. I mean that's clear.
So some of the sheen of the Biden will do everything better, everything the Democrats do is better than Trump, that's all just dissolved now. Then you look at the fact that Trump's policies on a number of areas are just clearly better. The border. You don't think that a solid chunk of Democrats are saying, you know, if I had to be honest, Trump might have been a bastard but the border was in better shape then, right? You feel that they're seeing it now a little bit. Likewise with inflation. Likewise with China. Likewise with a lot of other things. Although I would say Biden and the Democrats are not terrible on China. They're not worse than the Republicans. I think they both fell short there.
And then of course the Rittenhouse case opened a lot of eyes. So Guy Benson tweeted this. He said that three left-leaning friends have independently texted me about this vanishing national story, talking about Waukesha. They understand what's happening. In other words, they understand now that the press is making stories disappear if they don't support the Democrats or the narrative, let's say. Now they can see it, but they can't quite bring themselves to flat out and say it's fucked up. One wrote, and then two of them concede that they now better understand conservatives' complaints about the media.
Here it comes. Or as I like to say, it's happening. It's happening. There is an awareness shift going on that's now I think easy to identify. We don't know how far it'll go. We don't know if this is just a minor pushback and then things keep going the way they were. But I've always told you that the slippery slope is not real. Or it's a better way to say it. I think I've said it poorly when I say it's not real. That probably is just fighting words. So let me say it less provocatively.
A better way to think of it is the celebrity of slippery slope. So instead of debunking it, let me upgrade it and get you to a place you could agree. I think everything goes in the direction it's going until there's a reason for it to stop. Right? You all agree with that, right? Everything will keep going the way it's going until there's a reason for it to stop. Could be a physical reason, could be psychological, whatever.
So the slippery slope doesn't add anything to the basic understanding that everything goes the way it's going until it stops. But if you can't see what would stop something, you say it's a slippery slope because you can't see the stop. But the stop materializes when it's needed. And I think we're seeing it materialize. The woke stuff now I think is so widely discredited that you would have no risk at all of mocking it in public. I don't know if you could have done that as much even a year ago. You can just say it's a whole philosophy that's hurting people more than helping. And you can say that the school systems are the systemic racists and you'd like to help. So I feel like things have really, really shifted just in the last really six months. I think it's accelerated.
So this is all anecdotal, right? Unless you have some kind of a scientific reason to think that there's something going on here, you should be a little bit cautious. Oh, it's pronounced Waukesha. So I've been pronouncing it Wakasha. Yeah, remember when they called it political correctness?
Erica says I have lots of friends confessing their Democrat hatred privately to me. Yeah, so yeah, I think the pendulum is a better model than the slippery slope. The slippery slope is like if you imagine the pendulum, you know, that one's got the several balls that are suspended and you take the one ball and you let it swing and it hits the balls and the other one, the other end goes up the same amount and it goes for a while. That feels like a better model than the slippery slope. Meaning that things will go in one direction and then they almost always reverse because people just get tired of things heading in the same direction or there's a counter that pops up.
Greg Gutfeld's show has helped increase the awareness level of the middle third of the public. Well, to the extent that he's pulling in any independents, yes.
Now how many of you see it? Are you seeing this trend in awareness? Are you seeing the complete destruction of the credibility of the press and the professional set in ways that even the left can clearly see now? They can see that their own media has duped them.
Now the other tell: it used to be when I called the fine people hoax a hoax on Twitter, it would be just filled with people saying, "You crazy thing. I saw it with my own eyes." But of course they didn't. They saw the selectively edited version of it which reverses its meaning. Now it used to be that people pushed back on that. Now I don't know if they all understand it's fake or if they know it could be, so they're just not joining the fight. So I don't know if I've convinced them it's fake. I've convinced everybody who looked at the transcript. If you look at the transcript, it's obviously fake. But I think people have softened to at least the idea that pretty much everything said about Trump was made up or hyperbole or crazy talk.
You know, the one thing that I think is always completely fair to say is Trump University. I think people sometimes ask me how I defend Trump University and I say I don't. I don't. You have any opinion of that you want? I will answer this one text and that's all.
All right, my dirt freaks out when your let's go Brandon. The bird was the vandal because somebody says gas prices are now so high it's actually cheaper to buy cocaine and run everywhere. I appreciate that.
Yeah, you know, here I can't defend Trump University but I'll give you some context. I was in the licensing business for many years with Dilbert and I can tell you that the person who licenses their name or their character, in my case, they don't look at all the operating details of the company that does the licensing. You know, you do a quick check to make sure it's not a complete fraud. But let's say it was somebody you knew. I think he probably worked with somebody new and they said, "Hey, we'll do this thing. We'll put your name on it. Trust us." So if he trusted someone he shouldn't have trusted, you should certainly hold that against him. Put it in the whole picture. But if you believe there's no evidence of this, that he knew exactly what was going on and was okay with it, that's not evidence.
Yeah, and I'm definitely licensed to people I wish I had not licensed to after the fact. So you're saying my Dilbert condoms were not a licensed product? Yeah, I'd worry about those. Do you know how many sales gurus call their programs universities? Well, yeah.
Did we do Kamala on the roof? Yes. So yes, we're talking about Kamala going somewhere. We talked about that.
All right, I don't have much else to talk about. How about this comment: "You okay with the normalization of pedophilia, Scott? All the capitalism couples." Why would you even ask that question? Why do you even ask that question? Like what would even provoke you to ask me if I'm okay with horrible crimes? Why would you be curious about that? For the record, I'm generally against all horrible crimes.
I haven't watched the Beatles Get Back special but it's on my list. If there's no Supreme Court, how will they get rid of Kamala? I don't know of any way you could do it, you know. I think the Democrats fear the most — you ready for this? Here's what they fear the most. Biden has to step down early. Kamala Harris takes over. And because she got the top spot the way she did, it makes her automatically the front runner for the nomination. Can you imagine anything that would scare the Democrats more than that? Because that would be a gimme win. That would basically be the election's over, I think. I'm not even sure it matters who she ran against. I think she would lose to everybody.
The Get Back show about the Beatles is good. You can't primary a black woman, is that what you're saying? That's in the comments. Yes, you can.
All right, I'm just looking at your comments. Yeah, your head would explode. You depend, you'd attend Dilbert University? Well, you know, I'm thinking of creating a university. So I told you I have 200 micro lessons now. So I'm thinking of packaging them somehow. You know, I had this idea of a university that you could attend while you're on the toilet. So the lessons would all be two to four minutes so you could do it while you're in there. Anyway, you do one a day, you'll have 365 life lessons at the end of the year, maybe more. And I jokingly called it Turd University because you do it in the bathroom, two minutes a day.
Are they appropriate for teens? Yes, the micro lessons don't have any profanity and they are all appropriate for teens. Although I am considering adding some content that I don't know if it would be appropriate for teens. They won't watch it anyway so I wouldn't worry about it.
So here's what I'm thinking about. I'm gonna turn off YouTube because you guys can't hear this topic. There's something I'm just gonna talk to the local subscribers about. Nothing personal. It's just that there's some things if they get into the total public domain they turn into something that they shouldn't be, which is actually the topic of what I'm going to talk about. But the locals people won't do that, which is what's good about the subscription system. So with all due respect, YouTube people, I will talk to you tomorrow. And locals people, hang on.
bam wow wow what a morning and it's just gonna get better holy cow um i think this is going to be the best time you've ever had in your life and maybe the best time anybody's ever had in any life ever we're including past lives and uh if you'd like to take it up a level and i know you do because that's the kind of people you are do you settle for the best day ever no that's not good enough let's take it up take it up a level all you need is a copper mug or glass a tanker tells us not in a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen now watch this watch it savor it savor it good good job on the simultaneous sip those of you who only watched well some people like to watch some people like to get right in there you know what i mean you know what i mean some people just want to sit in the corner and watch but that's okay that's okay i'm not judging i'm not judging yes the people who do the simultaneous sip are better than all the other people no i did say that i'm just kidding well um you should know if you're not on the locals subscription platform following me that uh i'm almost at my 200th micro lesson these are these little two to four minute lessons where i teach you a a life a skill that you can actually use forever and we've got over about 200 of them the one i did yesterday was a micro lesson on persuasion voice so how to how to control your voice for maximum persuasion so that's on locals uh last night my house got vandalized yes my house got vandalized now i don't know who vandalizes a house that's bristling with with video cameras but but it's probably going to turn out to be a bad play because i expect that 10 minutes after i get off this call i'm going to have a license plate and an identification let me just caution anybody who wants to screw with my neighborhood my neighborhood is pretty we're pretty prepared so yeah you you can cause some damage to my house and we don't know exactly if i was targeted or somebody else in the house was was the target of it but it's going to cost me some money to fix it it'll cost me some money and i will know who did it probably in an hour all right so if if you happen to be watching or know somebody who did that uh just know that i'm going to be them up at about some time before lunch just just know i'm coming for you i'll have your identification probably probably either somebody already has that they're just waiting to tell me so anyway just thought i'd tell you that i i don't know if there'll be more as it gets closer to election time i'm expecting a lot more attacks on me personally aren't you don't you expect that there should be a major hit piece developing on me somewhere by now because i'm you know i have a little bit too much influence so whoever thinks i'm influencing in the wrong direction is going to be probably looking for some journalist to take me out but good luck with that good luck with that all right so the news is there are rumors coming out of washington and the white house and i would say these are probably just rumors that kalama harris looks so unelectable that they're looking at getting rid of her but they might do it with a promotion which would be the most deliberate way to get rid of a vice president what what is the most deliberate way to get rid of a vice president if you if you have to pick one thing if you're familiar with the dilbert comic yeah you pre she might get promoted to the supreme court so they could get rid of her seriously keep in mind that the supreme court is in my opinion the last credible institution which doesn't mean i agree with them all the time but i think i think a lot of people would have the same opinion the supreme court is our last credible institution even if you don't like their decisions you know at least they're credible but if you put kamala harris on there for what would look like an obvious just getting rid of a reason i'm not sure that makes the supreme court more credible i think that would make it less credible uh you know i'm not saying because of her qualifications or because of her you know leading left or any of that it's just because if you think she was put there to get rid of her you're just going to have a whole different idea about the supreme court oh that's where you put the losers to get rid of them i mean that's not the case but it would feel like that i'm going to say that the supreme court rumor is false false they may have talked about it but i'm going to predict that does not happen anybody want to challenge that prediction kamala harris will not be named the supreme court they might be talking about it but i don't think they can i don't think they can pull the trigger because that would just be so ugh right you wouldn't even know how to put words on that would you you would just hear that story and you'd go like it can't even be described it's so awful anyway here's some more uh weirdness uh jack pasadek was noting that uh the lead prosecutor in the gelane maxwell case is uh james comey's daughter now have i told you that one of the tells that we live in a simulation is character reuse not just code reuse but specifically characters let me give you an example this from my real life i think i could tell this story um and i can't tell this story well suffice to say a weird coincidence happened in my personal life that the same people keep popping up in all kinds of different contexts so there's one person who popped up in one context who i knew from another context and it was just a weird coincidence but what are the odds that like a case of this magnitude would have somebody from the known set of characters on it i think the answer is usually pretty good because in washington isn't every high-end lawyer related to a politician or married to one or you used to work for one yeah i think in some places um you would expect these kinds of coincidence not really a big coincidence because uh the everybody who goes into law has some kind of connection to somebody important it seems like anyway i guess the judge is not going to allow the case to be televised and there's speculation that they're protecting the the elite pedophiles i don't think that's why if i had to guess it would be this now it could be just a general feeling that they don't want to make a you know a spectacle out of the case that'd be a good enough reason for me but the other reason might be that a lot of names are going to come up associated with galen maxwell and with epstein and they're not all guilty you know what i mean i i do genuinely think that he associated with people who were not necessarily doing any crimes they might have just run into him didn't know what was going on you know interacted with them longer than they should have bill gates for example might be one of those so i would think that a smart judge would want to close the proceedings just because lots of names would come up without a case against them it's one thing if prosecutors are have a case but if names just come up as associates or people they knew or people who traveled with them i feel that would be deeply unfair in our system of justice what do you think don't you think it would be deeply unfair to start hearing names of people who just were in the circle trump jumps a good example right clinton bill clinton i don't have any evidence that they did anything wrong either one of them nor do i have evidence that they didn't i don't have evidence one way or the other but i don't think that unless you're going to bring a case against them i don't think we should be hearing these names in some kind of you know defamatory way well let's talk about the omicron virus which the world health organization knows literally nothing about this is what they said on their tweet this is the the who we don't yet know whether it is associated with more transmission well that'd be pretty important to know we don't know if it gives you risk we don't know risks of reinfection risk of evading the vaccines basically we don't know anything about it so you should be very very afraid about the thing we don't know anything about i guess but they're working urgently to answer those questions now i ask this question because i'm an optimist not because it's likely i'm just an optimist i'm trying to think of any way that any virus would stop circulating because we've talked about this before for some reason they just stop now the the old thinking was that things stopped because you reached some kind of herd immunity but we know that that's not the case like the spanish flu i don't think reached herd immunity but it stopped so i had speculated and i'm getting closer to saying this is probably true that the only way antivirus stops is that it creates its own vaccination meaning that a variant eventually comes out that affects people as well or better than the original but doesn't make them that sick and then gives them some immunity against the bad one is there any scientific evidence for that at all is that i can't tell if this is me just spitballing or if there's any science who's said something similar well i know a dead host is useless yeah but that's not exactly the the answer here okay well that's what i think is happening and one possibility is that this uh that this is the one the omicron might be the vaccination it might be the end of the pandemic it could you know the but it's too early to say that because the early reports of mild symptoms are coming out of south africa now south south africa is part of a continent in which people are way younger way thinner way less likely to have any problems at all so i think that even the regular covid would have given them the same group of people mild symptoms so i don't think we know if omicron is worse or not too soon to know but we don't see evidence of people having worse problems from it so we don't know that it's better but there's no evidence of it being worse so that's not quite you know that's not quite data that's short of being data but i'm feeling like it's time it just feels it just feels like this is it i'm not sure i felt like this before so i i can't tell you that my my feeling is based on anything that you should believe because it's just a feeling but i am feeling that this omicron is going to be a mild one and that it will finish up our herd immunity in its own weird way i said this on twitter yesterday and i got almost no pushback on it which is the story itself so here's something that i couldn't have said one year ago like the public wasn't ready for this you ready so i've told you that there's some big big shift in public awareness that's happening and i'm going to talk about that a little bit more but the first thing i noticed was this dog that stopped barking for about i don't know five years since i started doing you know public stuff about politics for most of those five years the biggest uh criticism i got was oh yeah we should listen to the cartoonist let's not just listen to the experts oh we should pay attention to the cartoonist sure cartoon boy tell tell us what you're thinking we'll just stop listening to the scientists and the experts we'll just listen to the cartoonist that all stopped it's all stopped and i didn't notice it for a while and it took me a little bit to figure out why now i could take you know credit for maybe being more credible but i don't think that's what's happening i don't think that people's opinion of my credibility has changed you know because of my performance i'd love to think that the world was like that you know they could see me doing a good job and then they could say oh that one's doing a good job predicting so we'll give him a little more credibility no i don't think that happened here's what i think happened i think it was like trump beating hillary clinton in 2016.
trump never made himself more popular he simply made her less popular successfully and remember i predicted that i said trump doesn't need to become more popular he just has to make her less popular and then he went out and did that he did exactly that so i think what happened is that the experts have so self-immolated that almost anybody seems credible relative to the experts now because the experts have done such a bad job at least it looks that way i would argue that it isn't so bad but the public impression of the experts is awful right now so suddenly if you say well i heard it from an expert versus i heard it from a cartoonist they don't sound that different anymore do they they should i mean they should sound different but the experts have done such a good job of destroying their own credibility that people just don't say that about me anymore so that's the first thing so i did a little experiment on twitter because i was very curious about many of my critics who seemed to think i had completely different opinions than the ones i actually have and they were quite adamant in their criticisms of the things i don't think can have never said and i wondered where is that coming from and is this something that happens to everybody and i just see more of it because i have more of a public profile and so i did a little experiment to find out and i think i have the answer i didn't think i would necessarily get one but i do so i want to give you uh i'll tell you what happened so i tweeted if you if you're one of my critics tell me in one clear sentence what you believe is true that you think i don't you know just give me the one thing we disagree on what do you think happened when i asked people to tell me my critics the people were really really mad at me to tell me what they disagree with what do you think happened almost none of them disagreed with me yeah no it wasn't crickets because they had to say something but i'll give you some of the examples of what now they imagined i i was saying things that i didn't i'll tell you why they imagined it there's a very specific reason the people who think they disagreed with me and that i'm talking crazy almost all were twitter followers or people had seen me on twitter but not the live stream all right so the people who've seen my live streams had a completely different opinion of me but on twitter the biggest complaint was that i don't seem to take a side i'm not taking a side and therefore or that i see him on both sides of issues is that fair would you say that that observation is true based on twitter anyway that i seem to be on both sides of issues that's how it works every issue has some positives on one side and some negatives on one side so if you're not on both sides of every issue are you even thinking independently you should at least be able to say oh here's a good point on this side here's a good point on the other side now on twitter i think i'm less likely to state a direct opinion than i am here i hadn't really thought about it but i think that's true so the people on twitter i call the underinformed the binaries are people who see two teams and they see you saying things that would be good for one team but wait now you're saying things that would be good for the other team so now scott you're being ambiguous how can you say something good for one team and then also say something good about the other team that doesn't make any sense so scott you won't take a side so therefore you're a weasel that's what they say is that what's happening and some people say i'm betting both sides it's called fence sitting some people say yeah i would call it looking at all the issues i mean that's what it looks like to me so the binaries are the people who believe that everything fits into the two buckets and i never fit into the two buckets so the binary choice is don't take the vaccine vaccination because it's dangerous or take the vaccination because it's you know good and you know it's more good than bad right those are the binaries cassandra says you fell for several hoaxes but yet you won't be able to name any watch this cassandra name a hoax i fell for i'll just wait for you so on youtube name a hoax that i fell for if you mean the covington kids for exactly 24 hours that would be true the name if we're talking about the virus yeah there won't be anything right so the covington kids was yeah i was fooled by hoax for all of 24 hours so i copped to that you fell for the icl model no i didn't i don't know what the that is i'm sure i didn't fall for it um previously vaccinated poses a far greater risk no the science is not growing on that you're you're reading crackbots um i'm not ruling it out but the science is not growing on that i don't think that's true so here's what's happening i think the people on twitter who don't uh see me you know dealing with the whole issue they just see me say things like i'm not sure if the vaccines work but i took them because that doesn't fit into another category right i don't know if the vaccines are good or bad i only know that i decided to take them nobody else has that opinion that i know of or at least they don't say it in public probably lots of people have it or how about this i think lockdowns work and we totally shouldn't do them right it doesn't fit into your box people say either the lockdowns don't work and we shouldn't do them or they do work and we should do them i say they do work but we shouldn't do them other let me give you some of the other comments that people believe i think this is things that people said about me you think vaccines work is that an accurate description of me you think vaccines work all i know is i took them and every expert in every country says that they work that's what i know do you disagree that that you know let's say 99 do you disagree with the fact that 99 say that they do work and that i took it that's all i know and i know that there are other people who are serious people mostly rogue people but they have credentials and i acknowledge that they say there could be some big problem all right so that's two uh nuance i guess um somebody says i i strategically avoid stating my position no i don't no i don't i just don't always do it on twitter uh you believe it's likely that the vax compliance close to 100 will make the government remove restrictions and somebody says there's no chance that yes i do believe that and so do all of you so do all of you if it'll never happen right we don't think it can happen but imagine if if california reached 100 vaccination or 95 percent they would lose their argument for continuing to keep things locked down especially as the therapeutics are coming online so um i believe that if uh vax compliance was high which i don't recommend i'm not recommending you get them i'm not recommending you do or don't get a boosters so i'm not saying what you should do that's that's the problem i'm just saying predictably if the government's reason for lockdowns goes away probably the lockdowns will not right away but we could make it happen if you got kovid why would you not try ivermectin i don't know i don't know why do you do you think that i disagree with you i would try it so can i say that i think it's very unlikely that ivermectin is the solution to covet and at the same time can i say but if i got covet i would take ivermectin right away because i don't i don't fear the consequences of it you know hurting me so i i occupy all these weird middle grounds where i can you know feel both sides but i don't think he didn't have it quite right somebody said they've successfully inserted they being i know the deep state or somebody have successfully inserted the narrative of blaming the wave of heart problems on covet and the blue pills have taken it hook line and sinker and that i'm the canary in the coal mine so the suggestion is that i'm part of accepting the narrative that the wave of heart problems are the covid and not the vaccination itself no no no that doesn't describe me at all what i would say is we don't know i'm saying that all data is unreliable there is definitely alarming stories about people dying uh usually those alarming stories turn out to be fake they're just coincidence or misinterpretation but i'm not going to tell you that the heart problems from the vaccination are less or more than the the covert risk i'm just saying that they both have a risk how in the world would i know which one is bigger how would i ever know that all right anyway i could do some more of this but my favorite one is the abacus he's a user who sent me a list of tells for being a fascist and says that you should look at how many scott adams applies to so i'm going to read the list of how to know you're a fascist and i want you to vote in the comments which of these apply to me powerful and continuing nationalism yes or no does that apply to me uh powerful and continuing nationalism people are saying no really definitely yes yes yes if this is a tell for uh being a fascist absolutely i i have a powerful and continuing sense of nationalism i'm not apologizing for that i would call that patriotic and i would hope that people in other countries feel the same about their country i hope so because i'm sure some of their countries are quite awesome and they should feel quite proud about it all right how about this the second one is disdain for human rights do i do i display a disdain for human rights no how about identification of enemies as a unifying cause that would be everybody right is there anybody who doesn't identify the the side that's causing them problems there's nobody who doesn't do that so yes i absolutely do this so so far two out of three signs of fascism i i perfectly identify with supremacy of the military well supremacy meaning the military runs the country i'm vehemently opposed to that but i would like our military to be supreme compared to other militaries so this one's ambiguous but i certainly don't want the military running our country rampant sexism did you know that was part of fascism i feel like this was just a like a woke thing that got lit added to the list rampant sexism what what's that got to do with fascism uh but do i display rampant sexism rampant sexism would be the idea that some uh some genders are superior yes i do yes i do have rampant sexism i believe that men cannot have babies for example uh some of you disagree i know but i believe that uh women are superior to men in the uh production of human life you know men are pretty good at their part but when it comes to actually incubating the baby and producing it compared to men women do that way way better so i guess i am a rampant and sexist because i do think women make babies better than men um how about controlled mass media well i don't control the mass media so not sure that applies obsession with national security who isn't is there somebody here who doesn't think national security would be really high on the list of things to be concerned about i cop guilty to that religion and government intertwined well i'm not a believer but i do acknowledge that um the united states has intertwined christianity and government and got a good result i think now i could criticize lots of elements of that and have but i wouldn't doubt the fact that religion and government formed a not a not a perfect union but pretty good pretty good corporate power protected yeah i want corporate power protected that's why we have laws uh we have laws to protect everybody including corporations um and corporations of course are created for the benefit of the people it just helps the helps rich people more but it doesn't hurt other people mostly labor power suppressed have i wanted to suppress any labor power uh i'm pro-union uh so i don't know about that uh disdain for intellectuals and the arts well okay disdain for intellectuals and the arts guilty guilty uh obsession with crime and punishment well obsession is just sort of a you know a trigger word isn't everybody uh very interested in crime and punishment i mean it's part of the texture of life how about rampant nepotism and corruption yes i have hired relatives i have in fact hired relatives now i don't run the government so i think that would matter uh corruption not so much and then fraudulent elections oh i don't think that's me you're talking about that might be the democrats so anyway this list of what it means to be fascism is completely ridiculous but apparently apparently i do meet quite a few of those things unapologetically all right the waukesha narrative is getting hilarious with cnn these are two things that cnn has said without being embarrassed apparently on cnn they reported wakisha will hold a moment of silence today this might have been a tweet or a headline i can't remember marking one week since a car drove through a city christmas parade killing six people and injuring scores of others now i am mad at that car if it had had a driver we'd probably want to know more about that driver but cnn's reporting it was a car so now we have rogue cars driving through parades and killing people and that that's a trend i hope doesn't include but no mention of a human involved in the crime just a car also on cnn said that a new york nypd hate crimes task force is investing after police say an asian-american woman was attacked with a large rock so it's worse than just the cars going rogue now the rocks are throwing themselves it's dangerous to go outside you got your covered you got your cars driving themselves after you you got your rocks that are just flying through the air on their own it's a dangerous world people it's a dangerous world so of course what's happening here is the cnn if if anybody was white like rittenhouse they would be talking non-stop about that white supremacist which is not you know that would be fake news but that's what they do and did but as soon as it's not a white male who's the alleged perpetrator well it's just the car driving itself and the rocks throwing themselves because the last thing we're going to do is blame anybody who's not a white male all right um i believe that there is an awakening happening and it looks like this so it's a bunch of things that are happening they're changing the consciousness of the country uh now i predicted this was happen after trump that we would just see reality differently and specifically we saw that the news is fake but mostly only the right saw that the left thought it was only the news on the on the right that was fake but the right i think is a little more aware that even the news from their own side could be fake they're more likely to believe the news on the right but they know now it could be made up because they've seen enough examples but the left is just figuring that out with the written house case in particular and now with the waukesha story i'm hearing anecdotally so we don't have a poll on this but anecdotally a lot of hollywood people a lot of left-leaning people and people are sending me tweets you know private communications showing that their leftist friends have gone over to the other side and they don't say it in public but a lot of left-leaning people are just woke up and said wait a minute is all of the news fake how long has this been going on yeah all of the political news is fake i don't know about the rest of it but all of the political news is fake it has been for a long time so uh the left is figuring that out here's what else is going on to further wake them up the democrats are watching uh the far left of their own party destroy their chances of ever having political power again so certainly the moderate democrats are saying wait a minute why are we associating with this crowd they're batshit crazy so they're seeing their own wing being crazy while they always accuse the right of having the crazy wing which it does so both sides have crazy wings i would i would say both are racist you know if you go far enough to the right you get racists but most most of the right or not if you go far enough to the left you get racist but most of the democrats are not you know not leading hard in that direction all right hollywood has even turned on the wokeness uh i mentioned a tv a series i've been watching called the sex lives of college girls i know i know it sounds like you know porn or something but think of it as it's basically sex in the city redone with uh college freshmen so think of it that way so it's just the sex and the city model which is you know four or five uh females you're working out their sex lives so this is just a college setting now mindy kaling is one of the producers of this with one other guy i guess so mindy kaling is behind it and that's important because it viciously mocks woke culture and even one of the main characters is apparently a trump supporter but they don't say that a female trump supporter now i i'm the one saying trump's supporter that the show doesn't say that at all it just looks like a republican but the fact that hollywood is viciously mocking the woke people in the show that's different right it's now it's now it's a subject of ridicule so you've seen bill maher turn against it the wokeness and now we see a pretty big property with a woman who you would imagine would be in the woke crowd because she's in hollywood person of color woman you know every characteristic that would make you think she'd be the wokest person in hollywood and she's she's producing a show that mocks it now it could be that that's not necessarily her opinion she might just be a good artist who likes to put out content that's provocative and may not you know match your personal opinions that's a thing but just the fact that it's even on at all it means something to me now you also have to add in biden and harris's approvals are in the toilet and the buildback better things looking bad so rasmussen had a poll just came out 51 percent of likely u.s voters oppose the buildback better bill now 51 isn't you know landslide number but it certainly tells you that there are more than just republicans who don't like this thing i mean that's clear um so so some of the the sheen of the you know biden will do everything better everything the democrats do is better than trump that's that's all just dissolved now then you look at the fact that trump's policies on a number of areas are just clearly better the the border you don't think that a solid chunk of democrats are saying you know if i had to be honest trump might have been a bastard but the border was in better shape then right you feel that they're they're seeing it now a little bit likewise with uh inflation likewise with china likewise with a lot of other things although i would say biden and the democrats are not terrible on china they're not worse than the republicans i think they both fell short there and then of course the written house case opened a lot of eyes so guy benson tweeted this he said that three left-leaning friends have independently texted me about this vanishing national story talking about waukesha they understand what's happening in other words they understand now that the press is making stories disappear if they don't support the democrats or the narrative let's say now they can see it uh but they can't quite bring themselves to flat out and say it's f'ed up one wrote uh one wrote and then two of them concede that they now better understand conservatives complaints about the media here it comes or as i like to say it's happening it's happening there there is an awareness shift going on that's now i think easy to identify doesn't we don't know how far it'll go we don't know if this is just a you know a minor pushback and then things keep going the way they were but i've always told you that the slippery slope is uh not real or it's a better way to say it i think i've said it poorly when i say it's not real that probably is just fighting words so let me say it less provocatively a better way to think of the celebrity is slippery slope so instead of debunking it let me upgrade it and get you to a place you could agree i think everything everything goes in the direction it's going until there's a reason for it to stop right you all agree with that right everything will keep going the way it's going everything until there's a reason for it to stop could be a physical reason could be psychological whatever so the slippery slope doesn't add anything to the basic understanding that everything goes the way it's going until it stops but if you can't see what would stop something you you say it's a slippery slope because you can't see the stop but the stop materializes when it's needed and i think we're seeing it materialize the woke stuff now i think is so widely discredited that you would have no risk at all of mocking it in public i don't know you could have done that as much even a year ago you can just say it's a whole philosophy that's hurting people more than helping and you can say that the school systems are the systemic racists and you'd like to help so i feel like things have really really shifted just in the last really six months i think it's accelerated so this is all anecdotal right unless you have some kind of a scientific reason to think that there's something going on here you should be a little bit cautious um oh it's pronounced walker shaw waukesha so i've been pronouncing it wakasha yeah remember when they called it political correctness right um erica says i have lots of friends confessing their democrat hatred privately to me yeah so yeah i think the uh the pendulum um is a better model than the slippery slope the slippery slope is like you know if you imagine the pendulum you know that um imagine the one that's got the several balls that are suspended and you take the one ball and you let it swing and it hits the balls and the other one the other end goes up the same amount and it goes for a while um that feels like a better model than the slippery slope meaning that things will go in one direction and then they almost always reverse because people just get tired of things heading in the same direction or there's a counter that that pops up greg gutfeld's show has helped increase the awareness level of the middle third of the public well to the extent that he's pulling in any independence yes all right now how many of you see it are you seeing this trend in awareness are you seeing the complete destruction of the credibility of the press and the professional set in ways that even the left can clearly see now they can see that their own media has duped them now the other here's the other tell it used to be when i called the find people hoax a hoax on twitter it would be just filled with people saying you crazy thing i saw it with my own eyes but of course they didn't they saw the selective edit of it which reverses its meaning now it used to be that people pushed back on that now i don't know if they all understand is fake or if they know it could be so they're they're not just not joining the fight so i don't know if i've convinced him it's fake i've convinced everybody who looked at the transcript if you look at the transcript it's obviously fake but uh i think people have softened to at least the idea that pretty much everything said about trump was made up or hyperbole or crazy talk um you know the the one thing that i think is like always completely fair to say is trump university i think people sometimes sometimes ask me how i defend trump university and i say i don't i don't you have any opinion of that you want um uh i will answer this one text um and that's all all right my dirt freaks out when your let's go off uh the bird was the vandal because somebody says gas prices are now so high is actually cheaper to buy cocaine and run everywhere i i appreciate that yeah you know here i can't defend trump university but i'll give you some context i was in the licensing business for you know many years with dilbert and i can tell you that the person who licenses their name or their character in my case they don't look at all the operating details of the company that does the licensing you know you do a quick check to make sure it's not a complete fraud but let's say it was somebody you knew i think he probably worked with somebody new and they said hey we'll do this thing we'll put your name on it trust us so you know if he trusted someone he shouldn't have trusted you should certainly hold that against him you know put it in the whole picture but if you believe there's no evidence of this that he knew exactly what was going on and was okay with it that's not evidence um yeah and i'm definitely licensed to people i wish i had not licensed to after the fact so you're saying my dilbert condoms were not a licensed product yeah i'd worry about those do you know how many sales gurus call their programs universities well yeah um did we do kamal on the roof yes so yes we're talking about kamala going somewhere we talked about that all right i don't have much else to do uh to talk about how about this with this comment you okay with the normalization of pedophilia scott all the capitalism couples why would you even ask that question why do you even ask that question like what would even provoke you to ask me if i'm okay with horrible crimes why why would you be curious about that for the record i'm i'm generally against all horrible crimes um oh i haven't watched the beatles get back to special but it's on my list if there's no supreme court how will they get rid of kamala i don't know if anyway don't know of any way you could do it you know i think the uh let me tell you what i think the democrats fear the most you ready for this here's what they fear the most biden has to step down early kamala harris takes over and because she got the top spot the way she did it makes her automatically the front runner for the nomination can you imagine anything that would scare the democrats more than that because that would be a gimme when that that would basically be the election's over i think i'm not even sure it matters who she ran against i think she would lose to everybody um oh the get back uh show about the beatles is good uh you can't primary uh black woman is that what you're saying that's in the comments yes you can um all right i just looking at your comments yeah your head would explode uh you depend uh you'd attend dilbert university well you know i'm thinking of creating a university so i told you i have 200 micro lessons now so i'm thinking of packaging them somehow as you know i had this idea of a university that you could attend while you're on the toilet so the lessons would all be two to four minutes so you could do it while you're in there anyway you do one a day you'll have 365 life lessons at the end of the year maybe more so i and i jokingly called it turd university because you do it in the bathroom two minutes a day uh are they appropriate for teens yes the the micro lessons don't have any profanity and they are all appropriate for teens uh although i am considering adding some content that uh i don't know if it would be appropriate for teams teens they won't watch it anyway so i wouldn't worry about it i'm so here's what i'm thinking about i'm gonna turn off youtube because you guys uh can't hear this topic uh there's something i'm just gonna talk to the local subscribers about nothing personal it's just that there's some things if they get into the total public domain they turn into something that they shouldn't be which is actually the topic of what i'm going to talk to but the lo the locals people won't do that which is what's good about the subscription system so with all due respect youtube people i will talk to you tomorrow and locals people hang on
bam
wow
wow
what a morning and it's just gonna get
better
holy cow
um
i think this is going to be the best
time you've ever had in your life
and maybe the best time anybody's ever
had in any life ever
we're including past lives
and uh if you'd like to take it up a
level and i know you do because that's
the kind of people you are do you settle
for the best day ever no
that's not good enough let's take it up
take it up a level all you need is a
copper mug or glass a tanker tells us
not in a canteen jugger flask a vessel
of any kind
fill it with your favorite liquid
i like coffee
and join me now
for the
unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit
of the day the thing that makes
everything better
it's called the simultaneous sip and
it's going to happen now
watch this watch it
savor it
savor it
good
good job on the simultaneous sip those
of you who only watched
well some people like to watch
some people like to get right in there
you know what i mean you know what i
mean some people just want to
sit in the corner and watch
but that's okay that's okay i'm not
judging
i'm not judging
yes the people who do the simultaneous
sip are better than all the other people
no i did say that i'm just kidding
well um
you should know if you're not on the
locals subscription platform following
me
that uh i'm almost at my 200th micro
lesson
these are these little two to four
minute lessons where i teach you a a
life a skill
that you can actually use forever
and we've got over about 200 of them the
one i did yesterday was a micro lesson
on persuasion voice
so how to how to control your voice for
maximum persuasion
so that's on
locals
uh last night my house got vandalized
yes my house got vandalized
now
i don't know who vandalizes a house
that's bristling with
with video cameras
but
but it's probably going to turn out to
be a bad play because i expect that
10 minutes after i get off this call
i'm going to have a license plate and an
identification
let me just caution anybody who wants to
screw with my neighborhood
my neighborhood is pretty we're pretty
prepared
[Laughter]
so yeah you you can cause some damage to
my house
and we don't know exactly if i was
targeted or somebody else in the house
was
was the target of it
but it's going to cost me some money to
fix it
it'll cost me some money
and
i will know who did it probably in an
hour
all right so if if you happen to be
watching or know somebody
who did that uh just know that i'm going
to be them up at about
some time before lunch just just know
i'm coming for you i'll have your
identification probably
probably either somebody already has
that they're just waiting to tell me
so anyway just thought i'd tell you that
i i don't know if there'll be more as it
gets closer to election time
i'm expecting a lot more attacks on me
personally aren't you
don't you expect that there should be a
major hit piece
developing on me somewhere by now
because i'm you know i have a little bit
too much influence so whoever thinks i'm
influencing in the wrong direction is
going to be probably looking for some
journalist to take me out
but good luck with
that good luck with that
all right
so the news is there are rumors coming
out of
washington and the white house and i
would say these are probably just rumors
that kalama harris looks so unelectable
that they're looking at
getting rid of her
but they might do it with a promotion
which would be the most deliberate way
to get rid of a vice president
what what is the most deliberate way to
get rid of a vice president
if you if you have to pick one thing if
you're familiar with the dilbert comic
yeah you pre
she might get promoted to the supreme
court
[Laughter]
so they could get rid of her
seriously
keep in mind that the supreme court
is in my opinion
the last credible institution which
doesn't mean i agree with them all the
time
but i think i think a lot of people
would have the same opinion the supreme
court is our last
credible institution even if you don't
like their decisions
you know at least they're credible
but if you put kamala harris on there
for what would look like an obvious
just getting rid of a reason
i'm not sure that makes the supreme
court more credible
i think that would make it less credible
uh
you know i'm not saying because of her
qualifications or because of her you
know leading left or any of that it's
just because if you think she was put
there to get rid of her
you're just going to have a whole
different idea about the supreme court
oh that's where you put the losers to
get rid of them
i mean that's not the case but it would
feel like that
i'm going to say that the supreme court
rumor is false
false they may have talked about it
but i'm going to predict that does not
happen anybody want to challenge that
prediction
kamala harris will not be named the
supreme court they might be talking
about it but i don't think they can i
don't think they can pull the trigger
because that would just be so
ugh
right
you wouldn't even know how to put words
on that would you you would just hear
that story and you'd go
like it can't even be described
it's so awful
anyway here's some more uh weirdness
uh jack pasadek was noting that uh
the lead prosecutor in the gelane
maxwell case
is uh james comey's daughter
now
have i told you that one of the tells
that we live in a simulation
is character reuse not just code reuse
but specifically characters
let me give you an example this from my
real life
i think i could tell this story
um
and i can't tell this story well suffice
to say a weird coincidence happened in
my personal life that
the same people
keep popping up in all kinds of
different contexts
so there's one person who popped up in
one context
who i knew from another context and it
was just a weird coincidence but
what are the odds that like a case of
this
magnitude
would have somebody from the known set
of characters on it
i think the answer is usually pretty
good
because in washington isn't every
high-end lawyer related to a politician
or married to one or you used to work
for one
yeah
i think in some places
um you would expect these kinds of
coincidence not really a big coincidence
because uh the everybody who goes into
law has some kind of connection to
somebody important it seems like anyway
i guess the
judge is not going to allow the case to
be televised and there's speculation
that they're protecting the
the elite pedophiles
i don't think that's why
if i had to guess
it would be this
now it could be just a general feeling
that they don't want to make a
you know a spectacle out of the case
that'd be a good enough reason for me
but the other reason might be that a lot
of names are going to come up associated
with galen maxwell and with epstein
and they're not all guilty
you know what i mean
i i do genuinely think that he
associated with people who were not
necessarily doing any crimes
they might have just run into him didn't
know what was going on you know
interacted with them longer than they
should have
bill gates for example might be one of
those
so i would think that a smart judge
would want to
close the proceedings just because lots
of names would come up
without a case against them
it's one thing if prosecutors are have a
case
but if names just come up as associates
or people they knew or people who
traveled with them
i feel that would be deeply unfair
in our system of justice what do you
think
don't you think it would be deeply
unfair to start hearing names of people
who just
were in the circle
trump jumps a good example right clinton
bill clinton i don't have any evidence
that they did anything wrong either one
of them nor do i have evidence that they
didn't
i don't have evidence one way or the
other but i don't think that unless
you're going to bring a case against
them i don't think we should be hearing
these names in some kind of
you know defamatory way
well let's talk about the omicron
virus which the world health
organization knows literally nothing
about
this is what they said on their tweet
this is the the who
we don't yet know whether it is
associated with more transmission well
that'd be pretty important to know
we don't know if it gives you
risk we don't know risks of reinfection
risk of evading the vaccines basically
we don't know anything about it
so you should be very very afraid about
the thing we don't know anything about
i guess
but they're working urgently
to answer those questions
now i ask this question because i'm an
optimist
not because it's likely
i'm just an optimist
i'm trying to think of any
way
that any virus would stop circulating
because
we've talked about this before for some
reason they just stop
now the
the old thinking was that things stopped
because you reached some kind of herd
immunity
but we know that that's not the case
like the spanish flu i don't think
reached herd immunity but it stopped
so
i had speculated and i'm getting closer
to
saying this is probably true that the
only way antivirus stops is that
it creates its own vaccination
meaning that a variant eventually comes
out
that affects people as well or better
than the original
but doesn't make them that sick and then
gives them some immunity against the bad
one
is there any scientific evidence for
that at all
is that
i can't tell if this is me just
spitballing or if there's any science
who's said something similar
well i know a dead host is useless yeah
but that's not exactly the
the answer here
okay well that's what i think is
happening and one possibility is that
this uh
that this is the one
the omicron might be the vaccination
it might be the end of the pandemic
it could you know the
but it's too early to say that
because the early reports of
mild symptoms are coming out of south
africa
now south south africa is part of a
continent
in which people are way younger way
thinner
way less likely to have any problems at
all
so i think that even the regular
covid
would have given them the same group of
people mild symptoms so i don't think we
know if omicron is worse or not too soon
to know
but we don't see evidence of people
having worse problems from it
so we don't know that it's better
but there's no evidence of it being
worse
so that's
not quite
you know that's not quite data
that's short of being data
but
i'm feeling like it's time
it just feels
it just feels like this is it
i'm not sure i felt like this before so
i i can't tell you that my
my feeling is based on anything that you
should believe
because it's just a feeling but i am
feeling that this omicron is going to be
a mild one
and that it will finish up our herd
immunity in its own weird way
i said this on twitter yesterday and i
got almost no pushback on it which is
the story itself
so here's something that i couldn't have
said
one year ago
like the public wasn't ready for this
you ready
so i've told you that there's some big
big shift
in public awareness that's happening
and i'm going to talk about that a
little bit more but the first thing i
noticed was this dog that stopped
barking
for about
i don't know five years
since i started doing
you know public stuff about politics for
most of those five years the biggest uh
criticism i got
was oh yeah we should listen to the
cartoonist
let's not just listen to the experts oh
we should pay attention to the
cartoonist sure cartoon boy tell tell us
what you're thinking
we'll just stop listening to the
scientists and the experts we'll just
listen to the cartoonist
that all stopped
it's all stopped
and i didn't notice it for a while
and it took me a little bit to figure
out why
now i could take
you know credit for maybe being more
credible
but i don't think that's what's
happening
i don't think that people's opinion of
my credibility has changed
you know because of my performance
i'd love to think that the world was
like that you know they could see me
doing a good job and then they could say
oh
that one's doing a good job predicting
so we'll give him a little more
credibility
no i don't think that happened here's
what i think happened
i think it was like trump beating
hillary clinton in 2016.
trump never made himself more popular
he simply made her less popular
successfully and remember i predicted
that i said trump doesn't need to become
more popular
he just has to make her less popular and
then he went out and did that he did
exactly that
so i think what happened is that the
experts have so
self-immolated
that almost anybody seems credible
relative to the experts now because the
experts have done such a bad job
at least it looks that way i would argue
that it isn't so bad
but the public impression of the experts
is awful right now
so suddenly
if you say well i heard it from an
expert versus i heard it from a
cartoonist
they don't sound that different anymore
do they
they should
i mean they should sound different but
the experts have done such a good job of
destroying their own credibility
that people just don't say that about me
anymore
so that's the first thing
so i did a little experiment on twitter
because i was very curious
about
many of my critics
who seemed to think i had completely
different opinions than the ones i
actually have
and they were quite
adamant in their criticisms of the
things i don't think can have never said
and i wondered where is that coming from
and is this something that happens to
everybody and i just see more of it
because i have more of a public profile
and so
i did a little experiment to find out
and i think i have the answer i didn't
think i would necessarily get one but i
do
so i want to give you uh
i'll tell you what happened so i tweeted
if you if you're one of my critics
tell me in one clear sentence
what you believe is true that you think
i don't you know just give me the one
thing we disagree on
what do you think happened
when i asked people to tell me
my critics the people were really really
mad at me to tell me what they disagree
with what do you think happened
almost none of them disagreed with me
yeah no it wasn't crickets because they
had to say something
but i'll give you some of the examples
of what now they imagined i i was saying
things that i didn't i'll tell you why
they imagined it there's a very specific
reason
the people who think they disagreed with
me and that i'm talking crazy
almost all were twitter followers
or people had seen me on twitter
but not the live stream
all right so the people who've seen my
live streams had a completely different
opinion of me but on twitter the biggest
complaint was that i don't seem to take
a side
i'm not taking a side and therefore or
that i see him on both sides of issues
is that fair
would you say that that observation is
true based on twitter anyway that i seem
to be on both sides of issues
that's how it works
every issue
has some positives on one side and some
negatives on one side so if you're not
on both sides of every issue
are you even thinking independently
you should at least be able to say oh
here's a good point on this side here's
a good point on the other side now on
i think i'm less likely to state a
direct opinion than i am here
i hadn't really thought about it but i
think that's true so the people on
i call the underinformed
the binaries are people who see two
teams
and they see you saying things that
would be good for one team
but wait now you're saying things that
would be good for the other team
so now scott you're being ambiguous
how can you say something good for one
team
and then also say something good about
the other team that doesn't make any
sense so scott you won't take a side so
therefore you're a weasel
that's what they say
is that what's happening
and some people say i'm betting both
sides
it's called fence sitting some people
say yeah
i would call it looking at all the
issues
i mean that's what it looks like to me
so the binaries are the people who
believe that everything fits into the
two buckets
and i never fit into the two buckets
so the binary choice is
don't take the vaccine vaccination
because it's dangerous
or take the vaccination because it's you
know good
and you know it's more good than bad
right those are the binaries
cassandra says you fell for several
hoaxes
but yet you won't be able to name any
watch this
cassandra name a hoax i fell for
i'll just wait for you
so on youtube
name a hoax that i fell for
if you mean the covington kids for
exactly 24 hours that would be true
the name
if we're talking about the virus
yeah there won't be anything right so
the covington kids was
yeah i was fooled by hoax for all of 24
hours
so i copped to that
you fell for the icl model no i didn't i
don't know what the that is
i'm sure i didn't fall for it
um
previously vaccinated poses a far
greater risk no the science is not
growing on that
you're you're reading crackbots
um
i'm not ruling it out but the science is
not growing on that i don't think that's
true
so here's what's happening i think the
people on twitter who don't uh see me
you know dealing with the whole issue
they just see me say things like
i'm not sure if the vaccines work
but i took them
because that doesn't fit into another
category right
i don't know if the vaccines are good or
bad
i only know that i decided to take them
nobody else has that opinion that i know
of or at least they don't say it in
public probably lots of people have it
or how about this
i think lockdowns work
and we totally shouldn't do them
right it doesn't fit into your box
people say either the lockdowns don't
work and we shouldn't do them
or they do work and we should do them
i say they do work
but we shouldn't do them
other
let me give you some of the other
comments that people
believe i think
this is things that people said about me
you think vaccines work
is that an accurate description of me
you think vaccines work
all i know is i took them and every
expert in every country says that they
work
that's what i know
do you disagree that that you know let's
say 99
do you disagree with the fact that 99
say that they do work
and that i took it that's all i know
and i know that there are other people
who are serious people mostly rogue
people but they have credentials and i
acknowledge that they say there could be
some big problem
all right so that's two uh nuance i
guess
um somebody says i i strategically avoid
stating my position
no i don't
no i don't
i just don't always do it on twitter
uh
you believe it's likely that the vax
compliance close to 100
will make the government remove
restrictions
and somebody says there's no chance that
yes i do believe that
and so do all of you
so do all of you
if
it'll never happen right we don't think
it can happen but imagine if if
california reached 100 vaccination
or 95 percent
they would lose their argument for
continuing to keep things locked down
especially as the therapeutics are
coming online
so um i believe that if uh vax
compliance was high
which i don't recommend
i'm not recommending you get them i'm
not recommending you do or don't get a
boosters so i'm not saying what you
should do that's that's the problem
i'm just saying predictably
if the government's reason for lockdowns
goes away
probably the lockdowns will
not right away but we could make it
happen
if you got kovid why would you not try
ivermectin i don't know
i don't know why do you do you think
that i disagree with you i would try it
so can i say that i think it's very
unlikely that ivermectin
is the solution to covet
and at the same time can i say but if i
got covet
i would take ivermectin right away
because i don't i don't fear the
consequences of it you know hurting me
so i i occupy all these weird middle
grounds where i can you know feel both
sides but
i don't think he didn't have it quite
right
somebody said they've successfully
inserted they being i know the deep
state or somebody have successfully
inserted the narrative of blaming the
wave of heart problems on covet and the
blue pills have taken it hook line and
sinker
and that i'm the canary in the coal mine
so the suggestion is that i'm part of
accepting the narrative
that the wave of heart problems are the
covid and not the vaccination itself
no
no
no that doesn't describe me at all
what i would say is we don't know
i'm saying that all data is unreliable
there is definitely alarming
stories about people dying
uh
usually those alarming stories turn out
to be fake
they're just coincidence or
misinterpretation
but
i'm not going to tell you that the
heart problems from the vaccination are
less or more than
the
the covert risk
i'm just saying that they both have a
risk
how in the world would i know which one
is bigger
how would i ever know that
all right
anyway i could do some more of this but
my favorite one is the abacus he's a
user who sent me a list of
tells for being a fascist
and says that you should look at how
many scott adams
applies to
so i'm going to read the list of how to
know you're a fascist
and i want you to vote in the comments
which of these apply to me
powerful and continuing nationalism yes
or no does that apply to me
uh
powerful and continuing
nationalism people are saying no
really
definitely yes
yes
yes if this is a tell for uh
being a fascist
absolutely i i have a powerful and
continuing
sense of nationalism
i'm not apologizing for that
i would call that patriotic
and i would hope that
people in other countries feel the same
about their country i hope so
because i'm sure some of their countries
are quite awesome
and they should feel quite proud about
it
all right how about this the second one
is disdain for human rights
do i do i display a disdain for human
rights
no
how about identification of
enemies as a unifying cause
that would be everybody
right
is there anybody who doesn't identify
the
the side that's causing them problems
there's nobody who doesn't do that so
yes
i absolutely do this so so far two out
of three
signs of fascism i i perfectly identify
with supremacy of the military
well
supremacy meaning the military runs the
country
i'm vehemently opposed to that
but i would like our military to be
supreme compared to other militaries
so this one's ambiguous but i certainly
don't want the military running our
country
rampant sexism
did you know that was part of fascism
i feel like this was just a
like a woke thing that got lit added to
the list
rampant sexism
what what's that got to do with fascism
uh
but do i display rampant sexism
rampant sexism would be the idea that
some uh
some genders are superior
yes i do
yes i do have rampant sexism i believe
that men cannot have babies for example
uh some of you disagree i know but i
believe that uh women are superior to
men in the
uh production of human life
you know men are pretty good at their
part
but when it comes to actually incubating
the baby and producing it
compared to men
women do that way way better
so i guess i am a rampant and sexist
because i do think women make babies
better than men
um how about controlled mass media well
i don't control the mass media so
not sure that applies
obsession with national security
who isn't
is there somebody here who doesn't think
national security would be
really high on the list
of things to be concerned about
i cop guilty to that
religion and government intertwined well
i'm not a believer
but i do
acknowledge that um
the united states has intertwined
christianity and government and got a
good result
i think
now i could criticize lots of elements
of that and have but
i wouldn't doubt the fact that religion
and government
formed a
not a not a perfect union but pretty
good
pretty good
corporate power protected yeah i want
corporate power protected
that's why we have laws
uh we have laws to protect everybody
including corporations
um and corporations of course are
created for the benefit of the people
it just helps the helps rich people more
but it doesn't hurt other people
mostly
labor power suppressed have i wanted to
suppress any labor power
uh
i'm pro-union
uh so i don't know about that
uh disdain for intellectuals and the
arts well okay
disdain for intellectuals and the arts
guilty guilty
uh obsession with crime and punishment
well obsession is just sort of a
you know
a trigger word
isn't everybody
uh very interested in crime and
punishment i mean it's part of the
texture of life
how about rampant nepotism and
corruption
yes i have hired relatives
i have in fact hired relatives now i
don't run the government so i think that
would matter uh corruption not so much
and then fraudulent elections
oh i don't think that's me you're
talking about
that might be the democrats
so anyway this list of what it means to
be fascism is completely ridiculous
but apparently apparently i do meet
quite a few of those things
unapologetically
all right
the waukesha narrative is getting
hilarious with cnn these are two things
that cnn has said
without being embarrassed apparently
on cnn they reported wakisha will hold a
moment of silence today this might have
been a tweet
or a headline i can't remember marking
one week since a car drove through a
city christmas parade killing six people
and injuring scores of others
now i am mad at that car
if it had had a driver
we'd probably want to know more about
that driver but cnn's reporting it was a
car
so now we have rogue cars driving
through parades and killing people and
that that's a trend i hope doesn't
include but no mention of a human
involved in the crime just a car
also on cnn
said that a new york
nypd hate crimes task force
is investing after police say an
asian-american woman was attacked with a
large rock
so it's worse than just the cars going
rogue
now the rocks are throwing themselves
it's dangerous to go outside you got
your covered you got your cars driving
themselves after you you got your rocks
that are just flying through the air on
their own
it's a dangerous world people it's a
dangerous world
so of course what's happening here is
the cnn if if anybody was white like
rittenhouse
they would be talking non-stop about
that white supremacist which is not
you know that would be fake news but
that's what they do and did
but as soon as it's not a white male
who's the alleged perpetrator
well it's just the car driving itself
and the rocks throwing themselves
because the last thing we're going to do
is blame anybody
who's not a white male
all right
um i believe that there is an awakening
happening and it looks like this so it's
a bunch of things that are happening
they're changing the consciousness of
the country
uh now i predicted this was happen after
trump
that we would just see reality
differently and specifically we saw that
the news is fake
but mostly only the right saw that
the left thought it was only the news on
the on the right that was fake
but the right i think is a little more
aware
that even the news from their own side
could be fake
they're more likely to believe the news
on the right but they know now it could
be made up because they've seen enough
examples
but the left
is just figuring that out
with the written house case in
particular and now with the waukesha
story
i'm hearing anecdotally so we don't have
a poll on this but anecdotally a lot of
hollywood people a lot of left-leaning
people
and people are sending me tweets you
know private communications showing that
their leftist friends have
gone over to the other side
and they don't say it in public
but a lot of left-leaning people are
just woke up
and said wait a minute is all of the
news fake
how long has this been going on
yeah all of the political news is fake
i don't know about the rest of it but
all of the political news is fake it has
been for a long time
so
uh the left is figuring that out here's
what else is going on to further wake
them up
the democrats are watching uh the far
left of their own party destroy their
chances of ever having political power
again
so certainly the moderate democrats are
saying wait a minute
why are we associating with
this crowd
they're batshit crazy
so they're seeing their own wing being
crazy while they always accuse the right
of having the crazy wing which it does
so both sides have crazy wings i would i
would say both are racist
you know if you go far enough to the
right you get racists
but most most of the right or not if you
go far enough to the left you get racist
but most of the democrats are not you
know
not leading hard in that direction
all right
hollywood has even turned on the
wokeness uh i mentioned a tv a series
i've been watching
called the sex lives of college girls i
know i know it sounds like
you know porn or something but think of
it as it's basically sex in the city
redone with uh college freshmen
so think of it that way so it's just the
sex and the city model
which is you know
four or five
uh females
you're working out their sex lives so
this is just a college setting now mindy
kaling
is one of the producers of this with one
other guy i guess
so mindy kaling
is behind it and that's important
because
it viciously mocks woke culture
and even one of the main characters
is apparently a trump supporter but they
don't say that
a female
trump supporter now i i'm the one saying
trump's supporter that the show doesn't
say that at all it just looks like a
republican
but the fact that hollywood is viciously
mocking the woke people in the show
that's different right
it's now it's now
it's a subject of ridicule so you've
seen bill maher turn against it the
wokeness
and now we see a pretty big property
with a woman who
you would imagine would be
in the woke crowd because she's in
hollywood person of color woman
you know every characteristic that would
make you think she'd be the wokest
person in hollywood
and she's
she's producing a show that mocks it
now it could be that that's not
necessarily her opinion she might just
be a good artist
who likes to put out content that's
provocative and may not you know match
your personal opinions that's a thing
but
just the fact that it's even on at all
it means something to me
now you also have to add in biden and
harris's approvals are in the toilet
and the buildback better things looking
bad so rasmussen had a poll
just came out
51 percent of likely u.s voters oppose
the buildback better bill
now 51
isn't you know landslide number
but it certainly tells you that there
are more than just republicans who don't
like this thing i mean that's clear
um
so so some of the the sheen of the you
know biden will do everything better
everything the democrats do is better
than trump that's that's all just
dissolved now
then you look at the fact that trump's
policies on a number of areas are just
clearly better
the the border
you don't think that a solid chunk of
democrats are saying
you know if i had to be honest
trump might have been a bastard
but the border was in better shape then
right you feel that they're they're
seeing it now a little bit
likewise with uh inflation likewise with
china
likewise with a lot of other things
although i would say biden
and the democrats are not terrible on
china they're not worse than the
republicans i think they both fell short
there
and then of course the written house
case opened a lot of eyes so guy benson
tweeted this he said that three
left-leaning friends have independently
texted me
about this vanishing national story
talking about waukesha
they understand what's happening in
other words they understand now
that the press is making stories
disappear if they don't support the
democrats or the narrative let's say
now they can see it
uh but they can't quite bring themselves
to flat out and say
it's f'ed up one wrote
uh
one wrote and then
two of them concede that they now better
understand conservatives complaints
about the media
here it comes
or as i like to say
it's happening
it's happening
there there is an awareness shift going
on that's now i think easy to identify
doesn't we don't know how far it'll go
we don't know if this is just a you know
a minor pushback and then things keep
going the way they were
but i've always told you that the
slippery slope
is uh not real or it's a better way to
say it i think i've said it poorly when
i say it's not real
that probably is just fighting words so
let me say it less provocatively
a better way to think of the celebrity
is slippery slope so instead of
debunking it let me upgrade it and get
you to a place you could agree i think
everything everything goes in the
direction it's going
until there's a reason for it to stop
right you all agree with that right
everything will keep going the way it's
going everything
until there's a reason for it to stop
could be a physical reason could be
psychological whatever
so the slippery slope doesn't add
anything
to the basic understanding that
everything goes the way it's going until
it stops
but
if you can't see what would stop
something
you you say it's a slippery slope
because you can't see the stop
but the stop
materializes when it's needed
and i think we're seeing it materialize
the woke stuff now i think
is so widely discredited
that you would have no risk at all of
mocking it in public
i don't know you could have done that as
much even a year ago
you can just say it's a whole
philosophy that's hurting people more
than helping and you can say that the
school systems are the systemic racists
and you'd like to help
so i feel like things have really really
shifted just in the last really six
months i think it's accelerated
so this is all anecdotal right unless
you have some kind of a scientific
reason to think that there's something
going on here you should be a little bit
cautious
um
oh it's pronounced walker shaw
waukesha
so i've been pronouncing it
wakasha
yeah remember when they called it
political correctness right
um
erica says i have lots of friends
confessing their
democrat hatred privately to me
yeah
so
yeah i think the uh the pendulum um
is a better model than the slippery
slope
the slippery slope is like
you know if you imagine the pendulum you
know that um
imagine the one that's got the several
balls that are suspended and you take
the one ball and you let it swing and it
hits the balls and the other one the
other end goes up the same amount and it
goes for a while um
that feels like a better model than the
slippery slope
meaning that things will go in one
direction and then they almost always
reverse
because people just get tired of things
heading in the same direction or there's
a
counter that that pops up
greg gutfeld's show has helped increase
the awareness level of the middle third
of the public well to the extent that
he's pulling in any independence yes
all right now how many of you see it
are you seeing this trend in awareness
are you seeing the complete destruction
of the credibility of the press
and the professional set
in ways that even the left can clearly
see now they can see that their own
media has duped them
now the other here's the other tell
it used to be when i called the find
people hoax a hoax on twitter it would
be just filled with people saying you
crazy thing i saw it with my own eyes
but of course they didn't they saw the
selective edit of it which reverses its
meaning
now it used to be that people
pushed back on that
now i don't know if they all understand
is fake
or if they know it could be so they're
they're not just not joining the fight
so i don't know if i've convinced him
it's fake
i've convinced everybody who looked at
the transcript
if you look at the transcript it's
obviously fake
but
uh
i think people have softened to at least
the idea
that pretty much everything said about
trump
was made up or hyperbole or
crazy talk
um
you know the the one thing that i think
is like always completely fair to say is
trump university
i think people sometimes
sometimes ask me how i defend trump
university
and i say
i don't
i don't
you
have any opinion of that you want
um
uh
i will answer this one text
um and
that's all
all right my dirt freaks out when your
let's go off
uh
the bird was the vandal
because somebody says gas prices are now
so high
is actually cheaper to buy cocaine and
run everywhere
i
i appreciate that
yeah you know here
i can't defend trump university but i'll
give you some context
i was in the licensing business for you
know many years with dilbert and i can
tell you that the person who licenses
their name or their character in my case
they don't look at all the operating
details of the company that does the
licensing you know you do a quick check
to make sure it's not a complete fraud
but let's say it was somebody you knew i
think he probably worked with somebody
new
and they said hey we'll do this thing
we'll put your name on it
trust us
so
you know if he trusted someone he
shouldn't have trusted you should
certainly hold that against him you know
put it in the whole picture
but
if you believe there's no evidence of
this that he knew exactly what was going
on and was okay with it
that's not evidence
um
yeah
and i'm definitely licensed to people i
wish i had not licensed to after the
fact
so you're saying my dilbert condoms were
not a licensed product
yeah i'd worry about those
do you know how many sales gurus call
their programs universities
well
yeah
um did we do kamal on the roof yes so
yes we're talking about
kamala going somewhere we talked about
that all right i don't have much else to
do
uh to talk about
how about this
with this comment you okay with the
normalization of pedophilia scott all
the capitalism couples why would you
even ask that question
why do you even ask that question
like what would even
provoke you to ask me if i'm okay with
horrible crimes
why why would you be curious about that
for the record i'm i'm generally against
all horrible crimes
um
oh i haven't watched the beatles get
back to special but it's on my list
if there's no supreme court how will
they get rid of kamala i don't know if
anyway
don't know of any way you could do it
you know i think the uh let me tell you
what i think the democrats fear the most
you ready for this
here's what they fear the most
biden has to step down early
kamala harris takes over
and because she got the top spot the way
she did
it makes her automatically the front
runner
for the nomination
can you imagine anything that would
scare
the democrats more than that because
that would be a gimme when
that that would basically be
the election's over i think i'm not even
sure it matters who she ran against i
think she would lose to everybody
um
oh the get back
uh show about the beatles is good
uh
you can't primary uh black woman
is that what you're saying
that's in the comments yes you can
um
all right i just looking at your
comments
yeah your head would explode
uh you depend uh you'd attend dilbert
university well you know i'm thinking of
creating a university
so i told you i have 200 micro lessons
now
so i'm thinking of packaging them
somehow as
you know i had this idea of
a university that you could
attend while you're on the toilet
so the lessons would all be two to four
minutes
so you could do it while you're in there
anyway you do one a day
you'll have 365
life lessons at the end of the year
maybe more
so i and
i jokingly called it
turd university
because you do it in the bathroom two
minutes a day
uh
are they appropriate for teens yes the
the micro lessons don't have any
profanity and they are all appropriate
for teens
uh although i am considering adding some
content that
uh
i don't know if it would be appropriate
for teams
teens they won't watch it anyway so i
wouldn't worry about it
i'm
so here's what i'm thinking about i'm
gonna turn off youtube because you guys
uh can't hear this topic
uh there's something i'm just gonna talk
to the local subscribers about
nothing personal it's just that there's
some things if they get into the total
public domain
they turn into something that they
shouldn't be which is actually the topic
of what i'm going to talk to but the lo
the locals people won't do that which is
what's good about the subscription
system so with all due respect
youtube people i will talk to you
tomorrow
and locals people hang on
