Well, he was fired because he's a white male and that's the end of the case, isn't it? Or could you get a jury in San Francisco who said,…

View segment →filth that's going to take us down. That's just a preference, a big one.

View segment →Good morning everybody, and welcome to another highlight of civilization, Coffee with Scott Adams, the finest experience of your life so far. Tomorrow's looking good too.
Now if you'd like to take it up to levels of happiness that we didn't even know were possible until recently, all you need is a cup, a mug, or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, this time a canteen, jug or flask, or a vessel of any kind and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that Don B. A. means everything's better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens all over the world.
Now go. Very good, very good. Yeah, that's some good stuff.
Well, the good news is the Dilbert website is restored. So from Friday through Tuesday it was pretty well hosed. I don't have any updates myself, so I don't know what the problem was or why it took so long, but my initial belief was it was probably a bad hack. I don't know. But it's back up and is working, and that's all good.
Did you know that Intel, the company Intel, has developed a deepfake detector? Apparently you can look at a deepfake, you know, a digital image of a person, and they can even pick up like apparently changes in blood flow. I don't know how it picks that up, but it thinks it can. And so that would be awesome. Ninety-six percent is pretty good. I would think that the ones that we cared about would be the ones we can't detect. But then I wondered, I wonder if you could build a detector to detect NPCs.
And do you remember Battlestar Galactica where part of the technology was they could detect the androids I guess? So they could detect the people who looked exactly like people, the Cylons. Yeah, they look exactly like people but they were really mechanical.
Here's how I think you could build an NPC detector. It goes like this. You just go up to somebody you want to check and then you say, "Hey, I heard about a really good form of exercise. The experts are saying it's an excellent form of exercise and it's kind of new and, you know, it seems to hit all the notes and all the experts say it's a really good form of exercise."
Now what you do is then you wait. That primes the detector. What you're waiting for is for somebody to say "Swimming is the best form of exercise." And then you got them. That's an NPC because the NPCs will only say the most obvious thing you could say in that situation, right? So just ask that. Just say, "Oh, this new form of exercise." And just wait. "Swimming is the best form of exercise." Gotcha. I gotcha.
So you try that. Try that on your so-called relatives over the holidays. Find out how many of your so-called relatives, if you know what I mean, are real.
All right. San Francisco is going full racist. The city of San Francisco fired a person who is in charge of its elections, the elections department chief, whose performance was good. There was no problem whatsoever. And the people who fired him said, "No, there's no problem with his performance." He had one problem that they couldn't overlook: white and male.
And they said, "How in the world are we ever going to have diversity at the senior levels of responsibility if these white people are clogging up the progress? They're keeping these jobs." So there was a white guy who was like ruining everything by simply having a job and doing it well according to everybody. And because he had a job and he did it well, he was obviously sort of a racist because he was blocking out any chance of diversity because there were only so many jobs. So he got fired.
I would love to be the lawyer who handles that lawsuit because if that's not a slam dunk, I don't know anything. If you can't win that lawsuit, I don't know anything about anything. Am I wrong? Don't you just have to show up to win that one?
So why was he fired? Well, he was fired because he's a white male and that's the end of the case, isn't it? Or could you get a jury in San Francisco who said, "I'd like to hear more. I'd like to hear the other side of this."
Only in San Francisco could the actual employer say, "Well, we do stipulate, we do admit performance was great. He was only fired because he was a white male." And then only in San Francisco would somebody say, "I'll need to hear more. I'd like to hear, you know, because probably, you know, there's an argument on the other side." I'm not so sure. No standing.
All right, here is the most horrifying humorous story of the day. Can we agree there's nothing funny about people dying because we're all good people, right? It is not my fault that there's a story in which this is just horrendous like a human tragedy of the highest level and still something came out of it that I can't ignore.
All right. I didn't want to talk about mass shootings but you all know there was an LGBTQ nightclub that got shot up. I don't want to talk about those details although except there was a, I think an army veteran who took him out, took him down. So thank you for your service twice. There's somebody you can thank for his service twice. Once for I think three tours in Iraq and once for taking down the shooter.
And the LGBTQ club interestingly he was neither. He was not LGBTQ. He was just a fan. He just liked the environment. He was having a great time with his family and, you know, they have some connection to the community I guess. So he's a big fan of the LGBT community. But I bet they're pretty happy he was there because if you listen to his description, I'll tell you this is the best argument for diversity you'll ever get.
Now when I say diversity I mean all the ways people think differently, act differently, have different experiences, different life truths, you know, like all the whole realm of diversity. Do you know why? Because this military guy in that club, as he described it, when the shooting started he ran toward it. He ran toward it. How much training do you have to have to run toward gunfire? Well I don't have that although I can't guarantee I wouldn't run toward it because I do like danger more than I should. That's amazing, isn't it? It's amazing.
So if you didn't have one person with that kind of, let's call it diverse, the person with diverse experience and diverse, I don't know, maybe even philosophy about what to do in that situation, if you didn't have that guy there would have been a lot more people dead, right? So there's a case where diversity of one type really made a difference.
But here's the story which I hate to be amused by this because you know the larger story is a tragedy of course. But apparently the accused shooter is identifying as non-binary, which we cynical people suspect may not be entirely on the up and up because part of the charges would be hate crime related because of where it was. But he, the they apparently, we do not speak of the alleged shooter as he anymore. That's the old way. We now refer to the shooter as they.
So they has established a non-binary identity. And I don't know what is funnier, the fact that it might work, might work you know, and maybe he is. Can we rule out the possibility that the shooter actually does identify as non-binary? I think that's entirely possible. I don't know. That's why it might work.
And but the funny part is that the left has a very strong rule that you get to identify yourself. It's not for other people to tell you what you are. So I believe he's embracing and amplifying, if you know what I mean. He may be taking the left's own philosophy and just saying, "All right, if those are my rules I'll play by your rules. How do you like it?" Or his lawyer is. Right, some combination of him plus his lawyer.
So watching CNN's Ellison Camarado deal with this news and not know what to say about it because she can't be anti-identify whatever you want. That's not going to really work with the CNN brand, even the revising in brand. And she can't say it's not true because they don't have that reporting. There's nobody to say it's not true. So what are you going to do with it? You just got to say it and then sit there with a look on your face like, "Oh God, why do I have to be involved in this news?"
The shooter is a fired non-binary cook. Somebody say, does anybody have any evidence that the non-binary was indeed non-binary before the shooting? Is there any actual evidence of that? Because that would make it even, I hate to say interesting. That's just a horrible word. Prior by two years somebody says. All right, well we'll see. We'll see. We don't know about that.
Anyway, so of course the Democrats are accusing Republicans of their rhetoric stoking this violence. Now of course that narrative will go away if it turns out that this is a leftist non-binary person as possible. So we'll see where this goes.
But I was wondering what exactly was it the Republicans said that would inspire somebody to get a firearm and go and shoot a bunch of people in the LGBT community. Have any of you heard any Republicans suggest death to the LGBTQ's or anything even close to that? Isn't the only thing they say some of you stay away from our kids? Like have you ever seen a Republican say it's all those gays, like all those gays want to train our kids in ways we don't like? I've never heard that.
I don't even know. I mean I don't even hear anti-gay anything from conservatives and I would hear it, believe me I would hear it. Like nobody, people don't hold back when they're talking to me privately. Like if you're new to my live stream or if you're especially if you lean left, trust me when people talk to me privately they don't hold back. And when conservatives tell me I get the whole story and I just don't hear any anti-gay stuff like from anybody. It just sort of doesn't exist.
Now I'm not saying there isn't some place in the deep south or some other places where it's really a bad problem. I'm just saying it's just one report, right? I'm just an anecdotal reporter so I don't mean to say that my experience is general but for what it's worth I have a lot of contact with the conservative community and they seem to be concerned about how things would affect their preferences but nobody gives a where you put your penis. I've never heard that. Nobody. Or where you put any other part of you I guess just to make it inclusive.
Yeah, Mike Pompeo who we think might be gearing up to run for president said this. I get asked who's the most dangerous person in the world. Is it Chairman Kim? Is it Xi Jinping? He said the most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten, the president of the biggest teachers union.
Now remember this is Mike Pompeo whose entire job was to figure out who is the most dangerous person in the world and protect America from him. And he just said the most dangerous person in America is an American who is essentially destroying your children's future by doing a good job.
So if I could be fair it looks like Randi Weingarten does a good job for her members if they don't care about anything else but it doesn't work for the rest of us.
All right. And Pompeo said who's the most likely to take this republic down? It would be the teachers unions and the filth that they're teaching our kids.
Well you know the filth part is a subset of the larger problem. I wouldn't say that's the big risk. I don't think it's the filth that's going to take us down. That's just a preference, a big one. I mean it's important but that's not I think what takes us down is just bad education system that fills people's heads with America-hating ideas.
All right, so I gotta say I hear lots of critics of Mike Pompeo and I don't know exactly what he did or didn't do that you don't like but if there's a Republican candidate who's going to go directly at the head of the teachers unions he just reached the top of my consideration list. I gotta say he just went right to the top.
Now not above Trump or above DeSantis but he's in the mix now. Until Pompeo said this I would not have considered him as serious anything. And if Mike Pompeo says I'll take out the cartels labs it's going to be tough not to support him. It's going to be tough.
So let me warn you in advance. If you have some reasons you don't want me to support Mike Pompeo for president maybe you should tell me before I get ahead of myself. Now everything you say about him, he's a RINO, he did this, he did that, I'm not going to care. I'm a single issue voter. If he plays me right on my single issue then you and I got to be on the other team, the opposite teams. That's just the way it's going to go.
All right. Now ideally what would happen, ideally he would make the other candidates more competitive. So if in fact he said something aggressive about the cartels I think Trump and DeSantis or whoever runs they're going to have to, they're going to take their game up to match it, don't you think? Whoever says the toughest thing on the Republican side that becomes a competitive point. Anybody who's below that point is going to have to come up to it I think.
So having Mike Pompeo in the race or even just talking about being in the race, so far good work, good work. Because Mike Pompeo just made the conversation better in my opinion. So forget about whether you support him or not. He just made the conversation better by throwing the Randi Weingarten issue into the at the top of the mix. So good job. He's already added to the country I think in that one sense.
I need to give you, there's a confusing story in the news today so I need to give you a clarification. Some of you may have mixed up two stories but there's a story in the news that in Mexico, speaking of Mexico, a dog was spotted running through Mexico with a severed human hand in his mouth. And so people followed it back to where it found it and found 53 bags of human remains buried in the ground.
So that was a dog with a severed human hand. And no, I know you're saying it's old news. No no no no. The old news was that a dog was seen carrying a severed head. Because so that's the confusing part. So not long ago there was in Zacatecas, Mexico, there was a dog carrying a severed human head which was also followed back to the mass burial where they found lots of dead bodies.
So don't confuse the story about the Mexican dog with a severed hand that tracked back to a big pile of dead bodies. That's different from the story of the dog with the severed head that tracked back to a pile of bodies.
Now I'm not a psychic but I'm going to make a prediction. I feel within two weeks there's going to be a story about a Mexican dog with a severed foot that will, wait for it, wait for it, lead back to a mass grave of other bodies. We'll just see how I do. See how I do. I just feel like that's coming.
So nothing to worry about in Mexico there.
Now let me ask you this. Do you think the average Mexican citizen would object to the American military wiping out the cartel, cartels, multiple cartels? Do you think the average Mexican citizen would be opposed to the American military saying, "Look we're just going to save you. You guys need some saving so we're just going to kill your bad guys for a while."
I feel like the citizens wouldn't be that opposed. I mean there's always going to be screaming but I feel like you could get 60% of the citizens on board just to say, "Well we'll wait and see how this turns out. Let's not judge this too soon. Let's see how it turns out." Yeah.
Now of course plenty of people would be nationalists and plenty of people would be benefiting from the cartels and so you're always going to get lots of disagreement on anything but I got a feeling a lot of the public would be okay with it. I mean if you've got dogs scaring around body parts where you live you're going to be looking for an alternative.
All right. As was noted, CNN might not have tweeted this or had this news story a year ago. Here's the actual headline on CNN talking about the vaccinations: "New boosters add limited protection against COVID-19 illness."
Did you expect CNN ever to say that the boosters don't help that much? Yeah, yeah.
Now can we take a moment to once again give CNN a little bit of credit, right? Every time they do something right I feel like I should call it out and this looks like straight reporting to me. That's just great reporting. So good job as far as that goes.
So I have a theory. The Democrats vote mostly for policy and Republicans vote mostly for personality, leadership I'd say. Now of course both sides consider all variables. They both consider the leadership, they both consider the policies. But do you think that you could ever get a Democrat, I'm sorry do you think you could get a Republican candidate like let's say with just the general capabilities of Biden, Fetterman, Adam Schiff or Swalwell?
I mean I feel like Republicans say first we're going to start with are you a functioning human being? You have some leadership skills. And you say well Trump, you know, lots of leadership skills. DeSantis, lots of leadership skills. You know Abbott, leadership skills. And Lindsey Graham exists, you know, lots of exceptions, lots of exceptions of course.
But in our current mode don't you think that the Democrats can literally run anybody? Am I wrong? I think the Democrats are okay with having somebody who's just like a seat filler or a proxy for the policies that they like. I think as long as they get their policies they don't really care who it is. And I feel like the Republicans are a little bit more maybe more tuned to strength of leadership.
You know, maybe isn't there some science about that that Republicans are like strong leaders? Did it, I think I saw that. So it kind of makes sense. It kind of makes sense that there's no bench for the Democrats but it might not make any difference at all. In fact I'm going to predict that the quality of the candidate for president probably won't be a factor at least on the Democrat side.
But on the Republican side if the Republicans are not all happy with the leadership qualities of the candidate that's the problem. So I think you could get Democrats to vote for literally any individual long as a Republican Democrat but I feel like Republicans are going to be a little more judgy about the leadership capabilities of the specific person. So that's a problem for Trump.
Have you ever seen a time when we had fewer genuine leaders in this country? Is it my imagination that leadership is largely gone away? Right, it seems like there's an enormous vacuum and I don't just mean that Biden is weak. That's part of the story but it feels like nobody's strong, right? Because Trump has been suppressed and he's off of Twitter and everything else even though Musk is teasing it back with funny memes which is hilarious.
But we've never had less leadership and I feel like some of that void is being filled by the internet dads, you know the actual internet dads influence. So there's definitely a shift happening I think.
And more to my point the two, you know some of the most provocative or let's say what do I want to say, extreme I don't know candidates on the right. So think about the people who get the most criticism on the right. Let's say Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert. Let's just pick two of those characters. Don't you notice that both of them are both strong leaders like the personality wise? They just like scream leadership.
But you might not like some things they do. You might not like some things they said. You might not like their policies but wouldn't you agree that they're both very strong charismatic leaders? So you can dislike them for any number of things but you can't deny that when they're on camera they project a strength. It's very Republican thing. I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's just an observation that could explain a few things.
All right. And the Republicans don't really have, the Republicans are in real trouble you know, right? Because if you say to yourself well you got Trump. If people decide him he's been president. That's a strong choice. And then you look at your Republican bench and you say, "Scott, that Republican bench looks pretty strong." What's it going to look like after Trump is done with them? It's going to look like you're going to have a Trump that a third or more of Republicans aren't happy with and then all of the options will be destroyed. So we're not going to have much left to choose from by the time we're done.
All right. Did you see the spokesperson for Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre? Why can't I never remember her name? Jean-Pierre. Okay, whatever.
But her answer about fentanyl coming across the border was that the Biden administration has caught a record amount of fentanyl. They have interdicted a record amount. So that's pretty good, right? They got a record amount that they captured coming across the border.
I'll tell you there's nothing that makes me more angry than when somebody is bullshitting you and they don't bother to make it look like maybe they're not. If you ask what are you doing about fentanyl and the only answer is how much they caught at the border and they don't tell you how much got through. As in did more get through than ever or is all that catching at the border reduce the total amount that got through? Or is it possible you don't know? Because the only data I care about is what got through. If you're telling me what didn't get through you're not talking in the same conversation.
Oh very good. I'm glad you caught it. No, good job. Go catch some more. But has nothing to do with understanding what the problem is. If you are going to insult the public with that answer of how much you caught and completely ignore the fact that you don't know how much got through you suck. Like you're a shitty person and I can't respect you whatsoever because if you're gonna on me like I'm so stupid that I can't tell the difference between what got through and what got caught and I'm going to fall for this misdirection then you think I'm an idiot, right? And you treat me like an idiot and it's going to come back. It's going to come back.
Yeah you know I think the spokesperson is either a liar or completely incompetent which is pick one. Pick one. I don't care which one you pick. Yeah I know you want me to use the c word but I can't. I can't give it away gratuitously.
By the way for the purposes of this criticism I identify as non-binary. I'm just non-binary as long as I'm criticizing the spokesperson. As soon as I move to the next topic right back to my old identity of adult black male.
All right. I think the biggest risk to humanity is not just the teachers unions. I think it's the bad relationship advice on social media. I'm not joking. No joke. The biggest risk to America anyway is the bad relationship advice on social media. My God is it bad. My God.
Let me give you just an idea of the types of bad advice we're getting.
Number one, my favorite is advice that only works if the two adults are both functional humans who really have their shit together. That addresses almost nobody. If we were functional you know we and a couple if you were functional you probably didn't need much advice in the first place. But very few, how often do two functional people get together? Have you ever heard anybody talk about their divorce? Do they ever say you know I was very functional and so was my partner but you know didn't work out for some reason? No they always say the other person is bad, crazy or a narcissist, right? The guy is always abusive narcissist and the woman's always bad crazy even if they're not.
So there's no such thing as these two functional people getting together and working through their issues with their good tools. Oh I think that happens for some people. So if you're giving advice that could only work in the rarest of situations it doesn't help.
Now this is analogous to my criticism of success advice. Do you know what kind of advice doesn't help? Success advice that only works for really smart people because you might not be one, right? So when I talk about forming a talent stack or the systems are better than goals do you notice that that works for everybody? I don't know if anybody's picked that up but that you know probably the two most important contributions I'll make to civilization is the talent stack idea, putting together talents that work well together, and having a system as opposed to a goal. Those two things work for everybody. Smart people, dumb people, criminals, non-criminals. Like it just it's as good a generic advice.
But man when I hear the advice about learn to code maybe but I'm not sure everybody can learn to code, right? That's not good advice. So same with relationships.
Here's another category. Advice that made a lot of sense in the 50s. I'm seeing a lot of advice that was just perfect for the 50s but the things have changed a little bit and your old traditional situation it might have been better, you know the traditional family it might have been better but you're not going back. Like sort of the horse got out of the barn there a little bit. So that advice is a little bit of a problem.
How about number three? I'm seeing a place for men that's so hostile in human reproduction. Advice for men that's so about what women want and how hard it is to satisfy them and happen if you get married. It's I've seen more honest advice than I've ever seen in my life. Honest advice would end civilization because the only reason we do things that make civilization go forward is because we're hypnotized by civilization to think that we should do things a certain way that helps reproduction. If you were just looking out for yourself probably you would make different decisions but you know we're sort of reproduction optimized so we're going to reproduce no matter what.
And I would say Andrew Tate is on that list. So they're the men who say you tell the woman exactly what you will put up with and then if she crosses that line there's no forgiveness. You just walk away and break it off. How does that advice work in the real world? Ah well if you're Andrew Tate it probably works great for him. It might be perfect because he's got resources and he can travel the world and he can just get rid of one girl and get another.
Now suppose everybody took his advice and you all said you give me once and I'm out of here. You know I'm in charge. That's how this is going to work. As soon as you stop understanding that oh you can you're free go make it somewhere else. Do you think that would work? No it would end all reproduction.
The only reason we reproduce is because men don't quite realize that the evolutionary purpose of a woman is to drain a man's resources and transfer it to children. If you see humans as a machine you know like if you're looking at an engine you say all right the carburetor does this the spark plugs do this. If you just look at humanity as a machine the purpose of women is to take resources from men and not to leave them alive or healthy. Nobody needs that. All you need is the kids to be alive and healthy. If the kids are doing good then reproduction has been satisfied and that's all evolution cares about.
Evolution never said hey let's make men happy. Instead it went cheap. Instead of making men happy with I don't know how you do it but it'd be hard. Men have been designed by evolution apparently to believe that tomorrow is going to be better if they just give the woman what she's asking for. She won't be unhappy tomorrow because you will solve their problem. And if men did not have the illusion that women have problems that can be solved and then everything's good because the problem is solved. If we could ever get out of that illusion everything would break. But men stay with it because we're pretty sure that was just a temporary problem. I'm sure that that won't happen again tomorrow and maybe it doesn't but it's a different thing.
So here's the most important thing you need to know about women. They're designed to keep their man unhappy because if the man is happy he's not going to do anything for him. If the woman projects herself as being unhappy the man will say all right all right you're ruining my whole day. I'll give you that thing and then tomorrow because I solved this problem tomorrow is going to be good. At least tomorrow is going to work out. And then the woman realizes that this happy man isn't going to give her anything so she gets unhappy again and then the guy's all right one more day I'll just do this other thing. Repeat forever.
Now if men understood this and I could even tell you and like we're so trained to not see the world that way that I can't just tell you and then you can see it. But am I wrong? Imagine just taking your own relationship and imagine you took Andrew Tate's advice and man let me ask you this married men. He takes his advice. If your woman doesn't give you what you want you just walk out. You say we're done. We're done. How would that work in your life? It wouldn't work at all. It wouldn't work at all because you're not Andrew Tate and you can't get on your private jet and go to another country and woo some Romanian girl that doesn't know you.
Right now I'm not saying he hasn't worked on a good system for himself and I compliment him for that and Andrew Tate is doing a great career, financial, energy monster kind of job for himself. But I don't think his advice is going to work for all of you necessarily.
Oh here's another category. Advice for women about what men want as if giving men what they want would make a woman happy. I keep hearing you know women you have to know that you know men need you know some quiet time and you know they need to be appreciated and the advice sounds really good. Sounds really good like wow seems like that those are all the things the man would want.
Do you know what's wrong with that advice? You're giving advice to somebody who doesn't want that advice. They know how to make the man happy. They keep him unhappy intentionally because making him happy would be terrible for them. They wouldn't get what they wanted like I just said, right? They have to keep him slightly unhappy all the time. That's how this entire operating system, there's no second way to do it. All right unless you know if there's some rare very functional people.
And here's one. This is just me being an asshole so I'll say it first so you don't have to. So the fifth one on my list is just me being a little bit of an asshole and the fifth one is advice from relationship experts who spend most of their time on the road. I'm just gonna let that sit there. Yeah I don't want to hear. I do not want to hear relationship advice from somebody who doesn't have to be home very much. You know what I mean? I feel like we'd all do a little bit better if we were home and that's especially what I feel when I hear.
And to be honest if you haven't picked it up a lot of this is indirect criticism of Jordan Peterson's relationship advice. Now Jordan Peterson is genuinely a super smart guy and when he says things they always make sense, right? And you know if people could do the things that he's recommending they'd probably be great but I think he does advice for functional people who largely don't exist and he models being away from home a lot because it seems like he gets around. I know I feel like that's got to be part of it.
And he said something that I saw yesterday. I don't know when he said it but I saw a clip of Jordan Peterson saying that you know being a high character man and building a functional relationship and especially a family is really the only thing that's going to make you happy when you reach the age of 60.
Have you ever heard him say that? Like when you reach a certain age you know all of your cheap joy and cheap sex and all that it's not gonna, that's not gonna feed you once you're 60. What are you going to do still be a playboy at 60?
Now interestingly he just turned 60. So that's his age. And I was sitting there before I heard that at age 65. I was sitting there thinking damn I just have good days lately. Like ever since I got off that pharmaceutical nightmare a few several weeks ago but I've had nothing but good days. Like I wake up and I go oh man I'm gonna like have a nice walk in the sun. I gotta get a massage later. Like I'll just do one good thing after another. I'll go play with my dog. Even the work I do is work I don't mind doing. I miss arguably this is work but barely.
And I was thinking to myself I was perfectly happy and then I listened to Jordan Peterson tell me that I was empty and had no chance of happiness because I'm not in the family. And I thought maybe, we'll see. He could be right about that.
All right. Did you hear CNN playing cell phone conversation of a Russian soldier in Ukraine calling his girlfriend and complaining about the Russian leadership? Now that the summary of that is that the Russian soldiers said that the leadership got shelled and they packed up and they moved further away from the front line but they didn't move their troops further from the front line. They didn't move the troops further. And the soldiers like what the hell? Like we're just getting apparently half of them had been wiped out. So they and the soldier was talking about killing, murdering their own commanders.
Now I don't know if it's just one guy spouting off to his girlfriend but he actually said it you know there that they were getting ready to go just kill their own commander. And who knows how representative it is but one of the things that the soldier said is that if it wasn't for this ragtagged bunch of people who were half of them have been killed and they don't want to be there that that's the only thing keeping Ukraine from marching to Moscow.
And I thought to myself have the Russian soldiers been told that they're protecting Moscow? Do you think that they believe maybe they've been propagandized the Ukraine is the aggressor? Do they believe that a Ukrainian aggressor? Because maybe.
I mean you are ignorant concerning Jordan Peterson igles says aren't we all? How could I not be ignorant about Jordan Peterson? Would I not need to read his mind to have a complete picture? I suppose you've done that. Have you done the work? You did some research, dug a little deeper, developed a machine that could read his mind, complete all the picture, fill in all the black dots. All right well I just want to mock you a little bit for that.
All right. Student loans. And let me summarize everything that you hear out of Ukraine is propaganda. You know I just have to remind you because every once in a while people say how did Scott believe that propaganda? I don't believe it. I'm just saying it exists. You shouldn't believe anything out of Ukraine. It is entirely possible that the Russian troops are right at the point of total collapse but I wouldn't bet on it. It's possible.
So the White House found a new way to screw the country by extending the student loan repayment until June 2023. And that's an interesting time because doesn't that mean that it would expire before the election? Is that when they wanted it to expire because then it looks like the Democrats picked something that would expire? I think they want to make it look like it's a Republican's fault I suppose. I could spin it that way but anyway it's a as weasel plans go it's a pretty weaselly plan.
The fact that they're selling to their idiot base that they're actually going to be able to get away with this loan repayment stuff it's just amazing to me.
All right I want to give you my favorite story of the day. You know as you know I have a mascot. Does everybody know who my mascot is? I want to make sure that I've got the word around. You is Keith Olbermann.
Now the way this works is that a mascot is somebody who starts as just a critic but if they're really really good at it or really energetic and really entertaining then they rise to the level of mascot. So in my life Keith Olbermann has been criticizing me for 20 years and it's all crazy and funny. So like once I realized he was my mascot then I look forward to every time I hear from him. So it just sort of turns it into a positive.
But Tim Poole got himself a mascot and maybe a better one than mine. I mean I thought Olbermann would be hard to top but Tim Poole he got himself a good mascot. I'm going to play it for you.
Some little kids like that. Go get them boys. Guys go get them. Please please vote for our molesters and our pedophiles. Republicans say Republicans you're guilty. Okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop. They're thinking about kids I guarantee it. The reason Tim Poole wears a beanie is because he's trying to contain the pedophilia that's in his head. That's what he's always talking about it. He's seeing it everywhere. Why? Because he's projecting. And the right way he's like yes I love how they molest the little kids like that. Go get them boys. Guys go get em. Please please. Foreign. Republicans say Republicans you're guilty. Okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop. They're thinking about kids I guarantee it.
So Tim Poole retweets it. You know you've done a bad job as a critic when the target of your criticism retweets it. And the first part of the retweet is LOL. I said Tim Poole says LOL. OMG this is amazing. It's weird because I'm not a Catholic conservative or Republican. Like they can't understand that independents oppose them too. Anyone who isn't in the cult is Republican. And he says Jack I love you buddy which is perfect.
So if you want a lesson how to handle your craziest people, read with them and just give them an LOL retweet and let people decide for themselves. So that was about as perfect as it could be.
And my other favorite story. Elon Musk finds a closet full of stay woke shirts at Twitter. Is the entire closet full of secret closet of hashtag woke. That's for sure. Here we are at the most thing that Elizabeth. So everything that you imagined about Twitter is apparently true. Like every everything you imagined that could be maybe you know not quite ideal it was all true.
Now may I add my own suggestions? I think Elon Musk should take all these shirts and give them to the homeless. Not only that but I think that Republicans should make lots more shirts that also have Democrat slogans on them and also give them to the homeless. In fact I would give the homeless free clothes forever as long as that this is the free clothing had a pro-Democrat statement on it. And by the way I wouldn't have anything anti-Democrat. It would be their own. It'd be like vote for Hillary. You know Joe Biden is my president. You know that sort of thing. And just make it free but good enough quality and clean and maybe even do a laundry service.
Now imagine offering laundry service for the homeless like actually literally wash their clothes but also part of that provide them new fresher clothes that have Democrat slogans on. Come on that's, you love that idea. It's yes. Democrats for fentanyl. Ah that would be funny.
All right. And I saw a parody on Twitter that I honestly couldn't tell. I had to tweet to ask if it was parody or real. Good I didn't care. So it was somebody saying that they were a fired fact checker at Twitter and it was so spot on of what looks like it could have been an actual fired fact checker at Twitter that I couldn't tell. It was hilarious but I didn't know if it was hilarious because it was parody or it was hilarious because it was real. I actually couldn't tell. Like legitimately I didn't even have the best guess.
Now it turns out it was parody and it was labeled parody in the profile but I didn't want to check. Like obviously I could have checked in a second right but I didn't want to look because I didn't want to know if it was parody. I didn't want to know. I just wanted to enjoy it for its beauty without knowing for a while.
Here's another in the category of things you suspected that turns out are totally true. I saw Dinesh D'Souza tweet where he was talking about Twitter and said that the censorship was deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives. All right so that's a big statement, right? This is sort of conspiracy theory statement you would have heard a year and a half ago and you would have said well that just sounds like Dinesh is making just a purely political statement, right?
So censorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives. And then Elon Musk replies in the comments with one word: correct. Correct.
Now do you think that Elon Musk now knows exactly how things were being censored and why? Probably. Probably Musk knows exactly who got censored and why. And as someone else pointed out, maybe it was Dinesh pointed out I think Dinesh pointed out that you're not seeing a bunch of banned leftists coming back on the platform. Do you know why? Because there weren't any. And there weren't any. It was exactly what you thought it was. It was just a way to suppress conservatives apparently.
All right. So ladies and gentlemen I feel like there was a few funny stories that I missed. Oh the Krasenstein brothers. Yeah you know Kathy Griffin. Well Kathy Griffin was sort of a special case wasn't she? And you know I thought it was funny and smart that Musk brought Kathy Griffin back in the first wave of people brought back because that showed he was at least considering both sides of the aisle for comebacks. And I thought that was just a smart way to play it.
Do I have a MyPillow promo code? I don't. I do need some new pillows though. I should get some.
Now how many of you are noticing an improvement in the troll criticism activity on Twitter? I would say that my troll traffic is down at least 80 percent. In fact I'll even go further. The people who criticize me now might actually be real people. They might actually just be people who disagree with me. It feels very different. Yeah I can feel my metabolism doesn't do the same thing it did even a year ago on Twitter. A year ago on Twitter I could feel my body catch on fire after a few tweets but that doesn't happen now. When I check Twitter now it feels like a pleasant informational humorous kind of experience. Doesn't it? Feels very different now.
But here's my question. A hundred percent of my tweets still instantly get a spam. I think you've all seen it. It pretends to be Elon Musk giving away something right but it's all fake. But it's instant and it's as soon as I tweet. How in the world can Twitter not stop that? Because the content of the tweet is always the same. They don't have any way to instantly look for you know Elon Musk is not giving away any Bitcoins or whatever the hell this is. You've never seen it? Are you serious? It's in every one of my tweets including today. It happens instantly.
Let me do a test. I'm going to do a non like just a nothing tweet. Testing. How long before the spam hits my comments? Because I do wonder if anybody's watching to see if the content of my tweet is one that they want to connect to. So I don't know if it's content related. So I'm going to tweet this and if it's automatic the spam will be there like usually it's the first comment. So let's just test it. Let's test that tweet if any of you are watching it at the same time.
All right. The first two comments are not spam so it's possible that there are humans deciding which ones to attach the spam to. Do you think that's how it works? Do you think a human is doing it? Because it happened so quickly it looks like it's automated. If it doesn't pop up in like a minute then I won't believe it's automated. And let's see. Show more replies. Of course more replies on this one than normal of course. All right well I don't see it so I just I guess I don't know if it's automatic. Erica the excellent has already weighed in on this tweet and you're right. You're correct Erica.
All right. Is there any stories I missed that don't involve mass tragedies affected? What about Kanye's tweet about asking Trump to be his running mate? Oh did he do that? Well.
Oh Alex Berenson and Tom Elliott are in a Twitter argument on weed. So Berenson was sort of anti-weed, right? So there's one statistic that I follow for weed is life expectancy. The only study I've seen comparing frequent weed users with the rest of the public showed that their life expectancy was greater than the regular public. Now I don't trust studies so I'd have to see more but what I don't trust is the ones that say this looks like weed is even worse for your lungs than whatever because it feels like all those things are suggestive of a problem that doesn't show up in total mortality. And it all shows up in total mortality.
Have you ever heard of anybody dying of a weed related problem? Have you ever heard you didn't smoke cigarettes but he died of lung cancer? I've never heard of it. I mean maybe it happens.
Ali is still suspended. Ali Alexander is still suspended somebody says. Yeah he's going to be an edge case too.
Oh I forgot my best joke. Can you mentally go back with me in time? I've got to rewind. All right this will be worth it. Watch this. It'll be just like this it hadn't already happened and you hadn't already watched it.
So Tim Poole has a new mascot Chang or Uyghur I don't know how to pronounce his last name. And you may know him as the poor man's Alex Jones. Okay that's all I wanted to do. Now back where we were. He's the poor man's Alex Jones. Come on that's pretty good.
By the way this is one of my favorite jokes or joke structures. I love the joke structure when you say somebody is the poor man's somebody else because you can do it for almost anybody. You find somebody who just reminds you of them and is worse or better in some way and then you say they're the poor man's. It's always funny.
Somebody says I'm the poor man's Jordan Peterson. See that's perfect. That works. Yeah calling me the poor man's Jordan Peterson is perfect. Yeah that is the exact that's how you do that. Well executed. Well executed.
Now I try to be consistent on the following point. If somebody criticizes me or insults me in a way that's legitimately funny I'm just going to go with the joke. I'll just ignore the criticism because usually it's about the joke not the criticism and I'll just appreciate it. I appreciate a good joke at my expense if it's well formed and you know you're going for the laugh. That's fine.
Yay tweeted to use that bar Lago. Do you think that anything can redeem Kanye when he does the you know I'm Jewish stuff?
Here's how he could redeem himself. Kanye could just deny and say you know all that I'm more Jewish than the Jewish people. You know I did some more research and I found out that that wasn't all it was cracked up to be. You know that the research didn't pan out. And then just say I did more work and now I changed my mind. Could he do that? If you saw Kanye say you know everybody criticized me I looked into it and I gotta say that was just a mistake. I believe he could pull that off. He could pull though because you know what America really forgives? Well what is it that America is really forgiving for? We forgive honest mistakes when somebody owns it, right? If you own your mistake people are way okay with you, right?
And I always thought that was part of Trump's magic. If Trump had said elect to be president yea is the poor man's Kanye that's pretty good. Part of Trump's magic is that he never told he was a high character person. And so when things the accusations came out that would go to his character you would say ah oh yeah you did tell us that. I guess that was pretty transparent. He actually said running for president I'm no angel. I'm no angel. That is the clearest statement you could ever get that if you dig around you're going to find some stuff you don't like but that's not what I'm proposing as president. As president I'm proposing to do these things for you. I'm not proposing to date you. I'm not proposing to sexually harass you so you could care about it but that's not my proposition. So I'll give you that. That's you got some things in my closet there you're not gonna like.
So I think that Ye is a sympathetic character meaning that people are primed to want to like him. Would you agree? I think people are primed to want to like him. So all you have to do is just give us a path. But he made it impossible because what am I going to say oh I agree with the guy saying anti-semitic things? Like it just cuts me off. Like I'm not going to go there. So he has to fix that but I want him to. I would like him to fix it like us all to learn something from it. Ye literally and then move on. I'd be fine with that.
You know I don't think Ye has ever told us he's complete has he? Has he ever said you know I've got my completely together you know why don't you be more like me? Quite the opposite. Quite the opposite. He is all he has always told you he's basically a mess who happens to be an artistic genius. Both true. He's an artistic genius maybe a business genius until recently and he's also a mess but he's transparent about it. You know mental problems and all.
Ice Cube passed up 9 million because of the jab and so he lost some work because is that what you're saying? Yeah he he's still interesting though.
All right. Anybody watching the World Cup? I guess Lionel Messi his team lost to Saudi Arabia. Wow that was a shocker. If you don't follow soccer you don't realize what a world bending shocker that was.
Now here's a little tip for you. If you don't like watching soccer and that would be common of a number of Americans spend five minutes looking for highlight reels of Lionel Messi scoring goals and it's not like watching soccer, right? Soccer is a lot of people trying stuff that doesn't work. Oh I tried that pass but somebody got it. Oh I tried to get past that guy but he stopped me. It's like a whole bunch of people who aren't quite good enough to play soccer playing soccer it looks like. And then Lionel Messi will just dribble through like 13 of them in a row and then score this ridiculous goal into the corner. And you watch that and you say I don't know what I even saw. Like I don't even know how any that's possible.
And you also have to remember that Messi was told he was too small to play professional soccer because he's small and he's the best player in the world. So you know I guess maybe I root for him for overcoming that obstacle as well. But when you watch Lionel Messi it's not like watching soccer. You're watching it almost looks like it's not possible. It looks like magic or something. So do yourself a favor. Five minutes of Lionel Messi YouTube highlight reel. It'll just blow your mind. You won't believe people can do what he does.
He was put on HGH during puberty we'll see. How tall is he? Alexa how tall is Lionel Messi? He's five seven.
All right ladies and gentlemen I believe that's just about all I have for today. This might be the best live stream you've ever seen. Tom Brady is the poor man's Lionel Messi. Okay maybe there is a limit to that. There might be a limit to how well that joke works, huh?
Did exception to the rule. All right. Yeah the news was interesting but there wasn't much of it today so I'm gonna go do some other stuff and all of you have a great day on YouTube. I'll talk to the locals people in a minute.
good morning everybody and welcome to another highlight of civilization coffee with Scott Adams the finest experience of your life so far tomorrow's looking good too now if you'd like to take it up to levels of happiness that we didn't even know were possible until recently all you need is a cup of mug or a glass attacker jealous this time a canteen drug or flask of a vessel of any kind and fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that don't be anything means everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens all over the world now go very good very good yeah that's some good stuff well the good news is the Dilbert website is restored so from Friday through Tuesday it was pretty well hosed I I don't have any updates myself so I don't know what the problem was or why it took so long but my initial initial belief was it was probably a bad hack I don't know but it's back up and is working and that's all good did you know that Intel the company the company Intel has developed a deep fake detector apparently you can look at a deep fake you know a digital image of a person and they can even pick up like apparently changes in blood flow I I don't know how it picks that up but it thinks it can and so that would be awesome 96 is pretty good I would think that the ones that we cared about would be the ones we can't detect but um and then I wondered I wonder if you could build a detector to detect NPCs and do you remember the Battle Star Galactica where part of the technology was they could detect the uh this Androids I guess so they could detect the people who looked exactly like people the the cylons yeah they look exactly like people but they were really young mechanical uh here's how I think you could build an NPC detector it goes like this you just go up to somebody you want to check and then you say hey I heard about a really good form of exercise the experts are saying it's an excellent form of exercise and it's kind of new and uh you know it seems to hit all the notes and all the experts say it's a really good form of exercise now what you do is then you wait that's that that primes the detector what you're waiting for is for somebody to say swimming is the best form of exercise and then you got them that's an NPC because the NPCs will only say the most obvious thing you could say in that situation right so just ask that just say oh this is new form of exercise and just wait swimming is the best form of exercise gotcha I gotcha so you try that try that on your so-called relatives over the holidays find out how many your so-called relatives if you know what I mean are real all right um San Francisco is going full racist um the city of San Francisco fired a person who is in charge of its elections the the elections Department chief whose performance was good there was no problem whatsoever and the people who fired him says no there's no problem with his performance he had one problem that they couldn't overlook white and male and they said how in the world are we ever going to have diversity at the senior levels of responsibility if these white people are clogging up the progress they're keeping these jobs so there was a white guy who was like ruining everything by simply having a job and doing it well according to everybody and because he had a job and he did it well he was obviously sort of a racist because he was blocking out any chance of diversity because there were only so many jobs so he got fired um I would love to be the lawyer who handles that lawsuit because if that's not a slam dunk I don't know anything if you can't win that lawsuit I I don't know anything about anything am I wrong don't you just have to show up to win that one so why was why was he fired well he was fired because he's a white male and that's the end of the case isn't it or could you get a jury in San Francisco who said I'd like to hear more I'd like to hear the other side of this only in San Francisco could the actual employer say well we do stipulate we do admit performance was great he was only fired because of his uh he was a white male and and then only in San Francisco would somebody say I'll need to hear more I'd like to hear you know because probably you know there's an argument on the other side um I'm not so sure no standing all right here is the most horrifying humorous story of the day can we agree there's nothing funny about people dying because we're all good people right it is not my fault that there's a story in which this is just horrendous like a a human tragedy of the of the highest level and still something came out of it that I can't ignore all right I didn't want to talk about you know mass shootings but you all know there was a lgbtq nightclub that got shot up I don't want to talk about those details although except there was a I think an army veteran who took him out took him down so so thank you for your service twice there's somebody you can thank for his service twice once for I think three tours in Iraq and once we're taking down the shooter and the lgbtq club interestingly he was neither he was not lgbtq he was just a fan he just liked the environment he was having a great time with his family and you know they have some connection to the community I guess so he's a big fan of the LGBT community but I bet they're pretty happy he was there because uh if you listen to his description I'll tell you this is the best argument for diversity you'll ever get now when I say diversity I mean all the ways people think differently act differently have different experiences different life truths you know like all the whole realm of diversity do you know why because this military guy in that club as he described it when the shooting started he ran toward it you ran toward it how much training do you have to have to run toward gunfire well I don't have that although I can't guarantee I wouldn't run toward it because I do like danger more than I should um that's amazing isn't it it's amazing so if you didn't have one person with that kind of let's call it diverse the person with diverse experience and diverse I don't know maybe even philosophy about what to do in that situation if you didn't have that guy there would have been a lot more people dead right so there's a there's a case where diversity of one type really made a difference um but here's the story which I hate to be amused by this because you know the larger story is a tragedy of course but apparently the accused shooter um is identifying as non-binary which we cynical people suspect may not be entirely on the up and up because part of the uh part of the charges would be hate crime related because of where it was but he the the uh they apparently we do not speak of the alleged shooter as he anymore that's the old way we now refer to the shooter as they so they has established a non-binary identity and I don't know what is funnier the fact that it might work my work you know and maybe he is can we rule out the possibility that the shooter actually does identify as non-binary I think that's entirely possible I don't know that's why it might work and but the funny part is that the the left has a very strong rule that you get to identify yourself it's not for other people to tell you what you are so I believe he's embracing and amplifying if you know what I mean he may be taking the left's own philosophy and just saying all right if those are my rules I'll play by your rules how do you like it or his lawyer is Right some combination of him plus his lawyer so uh watching CNN's Ellison camarado deal with this news and not know what to say about it because she can't be anti-identify whatever you want that's not going to really work with the CNN brand even the revising in brand uh and she can't say it's not true because they don't have they don't have that reporting there's nobody to say it's not true so what are you going to do with it you just got to say it and then sit there with a look at your face like oh God why do I have to be involved in this news uh the shooter is a fired non-binary cook somebody say does anybody have any any evidence that the non-binary is indeed was indeed non-binary before the shooting is there any actual evidence of that because that would make it even I hate to say interesting that's that's just a horrible word prior by two years somebody says all right well we'll see we'll see uh we don't know about that um anyway so of course the Democrats are accusing Republicans of their rhetoric uh stoking this this violence now of course that that narrative will go away if it turns out that this is a leftist non-binary person as possible so we'll see where this goes but um I was wondering what exactly was it the Republicans said that would Inspire somebody to get a firearm and go and shoot a bunch of people in the LGBT community have any of you heard any Republicans suggest death to the lgbtqs or anything even close to that isn't the only thing they say um some of you stay away from our kids like have you ever seen a republican say it's all those gays like all those gays want our want to train our kids in ways we don't like I've never heard that I I don't even know I mean I don't I don't even hear anti-gay anything from conservatives and I would hear it believe me I would hear it like nobody people don't hold back when they're talking to me privately like if if you're if you're new to my live stream or if you're especially if you lean left trust me when people talk to me privately they don't hold back and when conservatives tell me I get the whole story and I just don't hear any anti-gay stuff like from anybody it just sort of doesn't exist now I'm not saying there isn't some place in the Deep South or some other places where it's really a bad problem I'm just saying it's just one report right I'm just an anecdotal reporter so I don't I don't mean to say that my experience is General but for what it's worth I have a lot of contact with the conservative community and they seem to be concerned about how things would affect their preferences but nobody gives a where you put your penis I've never heard that nobody or where you put any other part of you I guess just to make it a just to make it uh inclusive yeah Mike Pompeo who we think might be gearing up to run for president um you said this I get asked who's the most dangerous person in the world is it chairman Kim is it uh Xi Jinping he said the most dangerous person in the world is Randy Weingarten to the president of the biggest teachers union now remember this is Mike Pompeo whose entire job was to figure out who is the most dangerous person in the world and Protect America from him and he just said the most dangerous person in America is an American who is essentially destroying your children's future by doing a good job so if I could be fair it looks like Randy Weingarten does a good job for her members if they don't care about anything else but it doesn't work for the rest of us all right and uh Pompeo said who's the most likely to take this Republic down it would be the teachers unions and the filth that they're teaching our kids well you know the filth part is a subset of the larger problem I wouldn't say that's the big risk I don't think it's the filth that's going to take us down that's just a preference a big one I mean it's important but that's not I think what takes us down is just bad education system that fills people's heads with you know America hating ideas um all right so I gotta say I hear lots of critics of Mike Pompeo and I don't know exactly what he did or didn't do that you don't like but if there's a republican candidate who's going to go directly at the head of the teachers unions he just reached the top of my consideration list I gotta say he just went right to the top now not above Trump or above De.
Santis but he's in the mix now until Pompeo said this I would not have considered him as serious anything and if Mike Pompeo says I'll take out the cartels labs it's going to be tough not to support him it's going to be tough so let me warn you in advance if you have some reasons you don't want me to support Mike Pompeo for president maybe you should tell me before I get ahead of myself now everything you say about him he's a rhino he did this he did that I'm not going to care I'm a single issue voter If he if he plays me right on my single issue then you and I got to be on the other team the opposite teams that's just the way it's going to go all right now uh ideally what would happen ideally ideally he would make the other candidates more competitive so if in fact he said something aggressive about the cartels I think Trump and De.
Santis or whoever runs they're going to have to they're going to take their game up to match it don't you think whoever says the toughest thing on the Republican side that becomes a competitive Point anybody who's below that point is going to have to come up to it I think so having Mike Pompeo in the race or even just talking about being in the race so far good work good work because Mike Pompeo just made the conversation better in my opinion so forget about whether you support him or not he just made the conversation better by throwing the Randy Weingarten you know issue into the at the top of the mix so good job he's already added to the to the country I think in that one sense um I need to give you there's a confusing story in the news today so I need to give you a clarification some of you may have mixed up two stories but there's a story in the news that in Mexico speaking of Mexico a dog was spotted running through Mexico with a severed human hand in his mouth and uh so people followed it back to where it found it and found 53 bags of human remains buried in the ground so that was a dog with a severed human hand and no you I know you're saying it's old news no no no no the old news was that a dog was seen carrying a separate head because so that's the confusing part so not long ago there was uh in uh Zacatecas Mexico there was a dog carrying a severed human head which was also followed back to the mass burial where they found you know lots of dead bodies so don't confuse the story about the the Mexican dog with a severed hand that track back to a big pile of dead bodies this that's different from the story of the dog with the severed head the track back to a pile of bodies now I'm not a psychic but I'm going to make a prediction I feel within two weeks there's going to be a story about a Mexican dog with a severed foot that will wait for it wait for it lead back to a mass grave of other bodies we'll just see how I do see how I do I just feel like that's coming so nothing to worry about in Mexico there now let me ask you this do you think the average Mexican citizen would object to the American Military wiping out the cartel cartels multiple cartels do you think the average Mexican citizen would be opposed to the American Military saying look we're just going to save you you guys need some saving so we're just going to kill your bad guys for a while I feel like the citizens wouldn't be that opposed I mean there's always going to be you know screaming but I feel like I feel like you could give 60 of the citizens on board just to say well we'll wait we'll wait and see how this turns out let's not judge this too soon let's see how it turns out yeah now of course plenty of people would be you know nationalists and plenty of people would be benefiting from the cartels and so you're always going to get lots of you'll always get lots of uh you know disagreement than anything but I got a feeling a lot of the public would be okay with it I mean if you've got dogs scaring around body parts where you live you're going to be looking for an alternative all right as was noted CNN might not have tweeted this or had this news story um a year ago here's the actual headline on CNN talking about the vaccinations new boosters add limited protection against covid-19 illness did you expect CNN ever to say that the boosters don't help that much yeah yeah now can we take a moment to once again give CNN a little bit of credit right every time they do something right I feel like I should call it out and this looks like straight reporting to me that's just great reporting so good job um as far as that goes so I have a theory the Democrats vote mostly for policy and Republicans vote mostly for personality leadership I'd say now of course both sides consider all variables they both consider the leadership they both consider the policies but do you think that you could ever get a Democrat I'm sorry do you think you could get a republican candidate like let's say with just the general capabilities of Biden fetterman Adam Schiff or swalwell I mean I feel like I feel like uh I feel like Republicans say first we're going to start with are you a functioning human being you have some leadership skills and you say well Trump you know lots of leadership skills uh De.
Santis lots of leadership skills you know Abbott leadership skills and Lindsey Grant exists you know lots of exceptions lots of exceptions of course but in our current mode don't you think that the the Democrats can literally run anybody am I wrong I think the Democrats are okay with having somebody who's just like a seat filler or a proxy for the policies that they like I think as long as they get their policies they don't really care who it is and I feel like the Republicans are a little bit more maybe more tuned to strength of leadership you know maybe uh isn't there some science about that that Republicans are like strong leaders did it I think I saw that so it kind of makes sense it kind of makes sense that there's a there's no bench for the Democrats but it might not make any difference at all in fact I'm going to predict that the quality of the candidate for president probably won't be a factor at least on the Democrat side um but on the Republican side if the Republicans are not all happy with their the leadership qualities of the candidate that's the problem so I think you could get Democrats to vote for literally any individual long as a republican Democrat but I feel like I feel like Republicans are going to be a little more judgy about the the leadership capabilities of the specific person so that's you know a problem for Trump have you ever seen a time when we had fewer genuine leaders in this country is it my imagination that leadership is largely gone away right it seems like there's an enormous vacuum and I don't mean I don't just mean that Biden is weak that's part of the story but it feels like nobody's strong right because because Trump has been you know suppressed and he's off of Twitter and everything else even though musk is teasing it back with funny memes which is hilarious um but we've never had less leadership and I feel like some of that void is being filled by the internet dads you know the actual internet dad's influence so there's definitely a shift happening I think um and more to my point the two you know some of the most provocative or let's say uh what do I want to say extreme I don't know candidates on the right so think about the people who get the most criticism on the right let's say Marjorie teller green uh and bobert let's just pick two of those characters don't you notice that both of them are both strong leaders like the personality wise they're they they just like scream leadership but you might not like you know some things they do you might not like some things they said you might not like their policies but wouldn't you agree that they're both very strong charismatic leaders so you can dislike them for any number of things but you can't you can't deny that when they're on camera they they project a strength it's very Republican thing I'm not saying it's good or bad it's just an observation that could explain a few things um all right and the Republicans don't really have the Republicans are really real trouble you know right because if you say to yourself well you got Trump if people decide him you know he's been presidents that's a strong Choice and then you look at your Republican bench and you say Scott Scott that Republican bench looks pretty strong what's it going to look like after Trump is done with them it's going to look like you're going to have a trump that you know a third or more of Republicans aren't happy with and then all of the options will be destroyed so we're not going to have much left to choose from you know by the time we're done all right um did you see the spokesperson for Biden Korean John what's her name why can't I never remember her name Jean-Pierre okay whatever um but her answer about fentanyl coming across the border was that the abiding Administration has caught a record amount of Sentinel they have inter interdicted a record amount so that's pretty good right they got a they got a record amount that they captured coming across the border I'll tell you there's nothing that makes me more angry than when somebody is bullshitting you and they don't bother to make it look like maybe they're not if you if you ask what are you doing about Fentanyl and the only answer is how much they caught at the border and they don't tell you how much God through as in did more get through than ever or is all that catching at the border reduce the total amount that got through or is it possible you don't know because the only data I care about is what got through if you're telling me what didn't get through you're not talking in the same conversation oh very good I'm glad you caught it no good job go catch some more but has nothing to do with with you know understanding what the problem is if if you're if you are going to insult the public with that answer of how much you caught and completely ignore the fact that you don't know how much got through you suck like you're a shitty person and I can't respect you whatsoever because if you're gonna on me like I'm so stupid that I can't tell the difference between what got through and what got caught and I'm going to befall for this this misdirection then you think I'm a idiot right and you treat me like a idiot and it's going to come back it's going to come back yeah you know I I think the spokesperson is either a liar an or completely incompetent which is you know pick one pick one I don't care which one you pick yeah I know you want me to use the c word but I can't I can't give it away gratuitously uh by the way for the purposes of this criticism I identify as non-binary I'm just non-binary as long as I'm criticizing the spokesperson as soon as I move to the next topic right back right back to my old identity of adult black male all right um I think the biggest risk to humanity is not just the teachers unions I think it's the bad relationship advice on social media I'm not joking no joke the biggest risk to America anyway is the bad relationship advice on social media my God Is it bad my God let me let me give you just an idea of the types of bad advice we're getting number one my favorite is advice that only works if the two adults are both functional humans who who really have their together that addresses almost nobody if we were functional you know we and a couple if you were functional you probably didn't need much advice in the first place but very few how often do two functional people get together have you ever heard anybody talk about their divorce do they ever say you know I was very functional and so was my partner but you know didn't work out for some reason no they always say the other person is bad crazy or a narcissist right right the guy is always abusive narcissist and the woman's always bad crazy you know even if they're not so there's no such thing as these these two functional people getting together and working through their working through their issues with their good tools oh I think that happens for some people so if you're giving advice that could only work in the rarest of situations it doesn't help now this is analogous to my criticism of success advice do you know what kind of advice doesn't help success advice that only works for really smart people because you might not be one right so when I talk about um forming a talent stack or the systems are better than goals do you notice that that works for everybody I don't know if anybody's picked that up but that you know probably the two most important contributions I'll make to um civilization is the talent stack idea putting together talents that work well together and having a system as opposed to a goal those two things work for everybody smart people dumb people criminals non-criminals like it just it's as good a generic advice but man when I hear the advice about learn to code maybe but I'm not sure everybody can learn to code right that's not good advice so same with relationships um here's another category uh advice that made a lot of sense in the 50s I'm seeing a lot of advice that was just perfect for the 50s but the things have changed a little bit and your old traditional traditional situation it might have been better you know the traditional family it might have been better but you're not going back like sort of the horse got out of the barn there a little bit so that that advice is a little a bit of a problem how about number three I'm seeing a place for men that's so host to it in human reproduction advice for men that so about what women want and how hard it is to satisfy them and happen if you get married it's it I've seen more honest advice than I've ever seen in my life honest advice would end civilization because the only reason we do things that make civilization go forward is because we're hypnotized by civilization to think that we should do things a certain way that helps reproduction if you were just looking out for yourself probably you would make different decisions but you know we're sort of reproduction optimized so we're going to reproduce no matter what um and I would say Andrew Tate is you know on that list so they're they're The Men Who say you tell the woman exactly what you will put up with and then if she if she crosses that line there's no forgiveness you just walk away and break it off how does that advice work in the real world ah well if you're Andrew taint it probably works great for him it might it might be perfect because he's got resources and he can travel the world and he can just get rid of one girl and get another now suppose everybody took his advice and you all said you give me you give me once and I'm out of here you know I'm in charge I'm in charge that's how this is going to work as soon as you know you stop uh understanding that oh you can you're you're free go go make it somewhere else do you think that would work no it would end all reproduction the the only reason we reproduce is because men don't quite realize that the evolutionary purpose of a woman is to drain a man's resources and transfer it to children if you if you see if you see humans as a machine you know like if you're looking at an engine you say all right the carburetor does this the spark plugs do this if you just look at Humanity as a machine the purpose of women is to take resources for men and not to leave them alive or healthy nobody needs that all you need is the kids to be alive and healthy if the kids are doing good then reproduction has been satisfied and that's all Evolution cares about Evolution never said hey let's make men happy instead it went cheap instead of making men happy with I don't know how you do it but it'd be hard men have been designed by Evolution apparently to believe that tomorrow is going to be better if they just give the woman what she's asking for she won't be unhappy tomorrow because you will solve their problem and if men did not have the illusion that women have problems that can be solved and then everything's good because the problem is solved if we if we could ever get out of that illusion everything would be break but men stay with it because we're pretty sure that was just a temporary problem I'm sure that that won't happen again tomorrow and maybe it doesn't but it's a different thing so here's the most the most important thing you need to know about women they're designed to keep their man unhappy because if the man is happy he's not going to do anything for him If he if the woman projects herself as being unhappy the man will say all right all right you're ruining my whole day I'll give you that thing and then tomorrow because I solve this problem tomorrow is going to be good at least tomorrow is going to work out and then the woman realizes that this happy man isn't going to give her anything so she gets unhappy again and then the guy's all right one more day I'll just do this other thing repeat forever now if men understood this and I could even tell you and like we're so trained to not see the world that way that I can't just tell you and then you can see it um but am I wrong imagine just taking your own relationship and imagine you took uh Andrew Dane's advice and man let me ask you this married men he takes his advice if if your woman doesn't give you what you want you just walk out you say we're done we're done how would that work in your life it wouldn't work at all it wouldn't work at all because you're not Andrew teen and you can't get on your private jet and go to another country and and Will some Romanian girl that doesn't know you right now I'm not saying he hasn't worked worked on a good system for himself and I compliment him for that and Andrew Tate is doing a great career Financial you know energy monster kind of job for himself for himself but I don't think his advice is going to work for all of you necessarily oh here's another category uh advice for women about what men want as if giving men what they want would make a woman happy I keep hearing you know women you have to know that you know men need you know some quiet time and you know they they need to be appreciated and the advice sounds really good sounds really good like wow seems like that those are all the things the man would want do you know what's wrong with that advice you're giving advice to somebody who doesn't want that advice they know how to make the man happy they keep him unhappy intentionally because making him happy would be terrible for them they wouldn't get what they wanted like I just said right they have to keep him slightly unhappy all the time that's how this entire operating system there's no second way to do it all right unless you know if there's some rare very functional people and uh here's here's one this is just me being an so I'll say it first so you don't have to so the fifth one on my list is just me being a little bit of an and the fifth one is advice from relationship experts who spend most of their time on the road uh I'm just gonna let that sit there yeah I don't want to hear I do not want to hear relationship advice from somebody who doesn't have to be home very much you know what I mean I feel like we'd all do a little bit better if we were home and that that's especially what I feel when I hear um and uh and to be honest if you haven't picked it up a lot of this is uh indirect criticism of Jordan Peterson's relationship advice now Jordan Peterson is genuinely a super smart guy and when he says things they always make sense right and you know if people could do the things that he's he's recommending they'd probably be great but I think he does he I think he does advice for functional people who largely don't exist and he models being away from home a lot because it seems like he gets around I know I feel like that's got to be part of it and and he said something that I saw yesterday I don't know when he said it but I saw a clip of Jordan Peterson saying that you know being a being a High character man and and building a you know functional relationship and especially a family is really the only thing that's going to make you happy when you reach the age of 60.
have you ever heard him say that like when you reach a certain age you know all of your cheap joy and cheap sex and all that it's not gonna that's not gonna feed you once you're 60 what are you going to do still be a playboy at 60.
now interestingly he just turned 60.
so that's his age and I was sitting there before before I heard that at age 65.
I was sitting there thinking damn I just have good days lately like like ever since I you know I got off that pharmaceutical nightmare a few several weeks ago but I've had nothing but good days like I wake up and I go oh man I'm gonna like have a nice walk in the sun I'm I gotta get a massage later like I'll just do one good thing after another I'll go play with my dog even the work I do is work I don't mind doing I miss arguably this is work but barely and I was thinking to myself I was perfectly happy and then I listened to Jordan Peterson told me that I was you know empty and had no no no chance of happiness because I'm not in the family and I thought Maybe we'll see he could be right about that all right um did you hear CNN playing uh cell phone cell phone conversation of a Russian soldier in Ukraine calling his girlfriend and complaining about the Russian leadership now that the um I guess the uh the summary of that is that the the soldiers that the Russian soldiers said that the leadership got um let's say shelled and they packed up and they moved further away from the front line but they didn't move their troops further from the front line they didn't move the troops further and the soldiers like what the hell like we're just getting apparently half of them had been wiped out so they and and the soldier was talking about killing murdering their own Commanders now I don't know if it's just one guy spouting off to his girlfriend but he actually said it you know there that they were getting ready to go just kill their own Commander and and I you know who knows how representative it is but one of the things that the soldier said is that if it wasn't for this you know ragtagged bunch of people who were half of them have been killed and they don't want to be there that that's the only thing keeping Ukraine from marching to Moscow and I thought to myself have the Russian soldiers Been Told that they're protecting Moscow do you think that they believe maybe they've been propagandized the Ukraine is the aggressor do they believe that a Ukrainian aggressor because maybe I mean uh you are ignorant concerning Jordan Peterson igles says aren't we all how could I not be ignorant about Jordan Peterson would I not need to read his mind to have a complete picture I I suppose you've done that have you have you done the work you did some research dug a little deeper developed a machine that could read his mind complete all the picture fill in all the black the dots all right well I just want to mock you a little bit for that all right um student loans so and let me let me summarize everything that you hear out of Ukraine is propaganda you know I just have to remind you because every once in a while people say how did Scott you know believe that propaganda I don't believe it I'm just saying it exists you shouldn't believe anything out of Ukraine it is entirely possible that the Russian troops are right at the point of total collapse but I wouldn't bet on it right it's possible um so the White House found a new way to screw the country by extending the student loan repayment until uh June 2023.
and that's an interesting time because doesn't that mean that it would expire it would expire before the election is that when they wanted to expire because then it looks like the Democrats picked something that would expire I think they want to make it look like it's a Republican's fault I suppose I could spin it that way but anyway it's a as weasel plans go it's a pretty Weasley plant the the fact that they're selling to their idiot uh their idiot base that they're actually going to be able to get away with this loan repayment stuff it's just amazing to me all right I want to I want to give you my favorite story of the day you know as you know I have a mascot does everybody know who my mascot is I want to make sure that I've got the word around you is Keith olberman now the way this works is that a mascot is somebody who starts as just a Critic but if they're really really good at it or really energetic and really entertaining then they rise to the level of mascot so in my life Keith olberman has been criticizing me for 20 years and it's all crazy and funny so like once I realized he was my mascot then I look forward to every time I hear from him so it just sort of turns it into a positive but uh Tim Poole got himself a mascot so and and maybe a better one than mine I mean I thought olberman would be hard to top but Tim Poole he got himself a good mascot I'm going to play it for you some little kids like that go get them boys guys go get them please please vote for our molesters and our pedophiles Republicans say Republicans you're guilty okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop they're thinking about kids I guarantee it the reason Temple wears a beanie is because he's trying to contain the pedophilia that's in his head that's what he's always talking about it he's seeing it everywhere why because he's projecting and the right way he's like yes I love how they molest the little kids like that go get them boys guys go get em please please foreign Republicans say Republicans you're guilty okay and I'll tell you right now the number one reason they constantly talk about pedophilia is because it's going through their heads non-stop they're thinking about kids I guarantee it the reasons um so uh Temple retwees it you know you've done a bad job as a Critic when the target of your criticism retweets it and the first part of the retweet is LOL I said Tim Poole says LOL OMG this is amazing it's weird because I'm not a not Catholic conservative or republican like they can't understand that Independents oppose them too uh anyone who isn't in the cult is Republican and he says uh Jack I love you buddy which is perfect so if you want a lesson uh how to handle uh your your craziest people read with them and just give them an LOL retweet and let people decide for themselves so that that was about as perfect as it could be and uh my other favorite story Elon Musk finds a closet full of uh stay woke shirts at Twitter is the entire entire closet full of secret closet of hashtag work that's for sure here we are at the most thing that Elizabeth so so everything that you imagined about Twitter is apparently true like every every like everything you imagined that could be maybe you know not quite ideal it was all true now may I add my own suggestions I think Elon Musk should take all these shirts and give them to the homeless not only that but I think I think that Republicans should make lots more shirts that also have Democrat slogans on them and also give them to the homeless in fact I would give the homeless free close forever as long as that this is the free clothing had a had a pro-democrat statement on it and by the way I wouldn't have anything anti-democrat it would be their own it'd be like vote for Hillary you know Joe Biden is my president you know that sort of thing and just make it free but you know good enough quality and you know clean and maybe even do a laundry service now imagine offering laundry service for the homeless like actually literally wash their clothes but also part of that provide them new fresher clothes that have Democrat slogans on come on that's you love that idea it's yes democrats for Fentanyl ah that would be funny all right um and I saw a parody on Twitter that I honestly couldn't tell I had to tweet to ask if it was parody Or real good I didn't care so it was somebody saying that they were a fired uh fact Checker at Twitter and it was so spot on of what looks like it could have been an actual fired fact Checker at Twitter that I couldn't tell it was hilarious but I didn't know if it was hilarious because it was parody Or it was hilarious because it was real I actually couldn't tell like legitimately legitimately I didn't even have the best guess now it turns out it was parody and it was it was labeled parody in the profile but I didn't want to check like obviously I could have checked in a second right but I didn't want to look because I didn't want to know if it if it was parody I didn't want to know I want to I just wanted to enjoy it for his beauty without knowing for a while um here's another in the category of things you suspected that turns out are totally true I saw Dinesh D'Souza a tweet where he was talking about uh Twitter and said that um that the censorship was deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives all right so that's a that's a big statement right this is sort of conspiracy theory statement you would have heard you know a year and a half ago and you would have said well that just sounds like you know Dinesh is making just a purely political statement right so censorship has been deployed as a one-way operation against conservatives and then Elon Musk replies in the comments with one word correct correct now do you think that Elon Musk now knows exactly uh how things were being being censored and why probably probably musk knows exactly who got censored and why and as someone else pointed out maybe it was Dinesh pointed out I think Dinesh pointed out that you're not seeing a bunch of band leftists coming back on the platform do you know why because there weren't any and there weren't any it was exactly what you thought it was it was just a way to suppress conservatives apparently all right um so ladies and gentlemen I feel like there was a few funny stories that I missed uh oh the krasenstein brothers yeah you know Kathy Griffin well Kathy Griffin was sort of a special case wasn't she and you know I thought it was uh funny and smart the musk brought Kathy Griffin back in the first wave of people brought back because that showed he was at least considering you know both sides of the aisle for for comebacks and I thought that was just a smart way to play it uh do I have a my pillow promo code I don't I do need some new pillows though I should get some um now how many of you are noticing a an improvement in the troll criticism activity on Twitter I would say that my my troll troll traffic is down at least 80 percent in fact I'll even go further the people who criticize me now might actually be real people they might actually just be people who disagree with me it feels very different yeah I I can feel my metabolism doesn't do the same thing it did even a year ago on Twitter a year ago on Twitter I could feel my body catch on fire after a few tweets but that doesn't happen now I when I checked Twitter now it feels like a pleasant informational humorous kind of experience doesn't it feels very different now but here's my question a hundred percent of my tweets still instantly get a uh a spam I think you've all seen it it pretends to be Elon Musk giving away something right but it's all fake but it's instant and it's as soon as I tweet how in the world can Twitter not stop that because the content of the Tweet is always the same they don't have any way to instantly look for you know Elon Musk is not giving away any Bitcoins or whatever the hell this is you've never seen it are you serious it's in every one of my tweets including today it happens instantly let me let me let me do a test let me do a test I'm going to do a non like just a nothing tweet uh testing how long before the spam hits my comments because I do wonder if anybody's watching to see if the content of my tweet is one that they want to connect to so I don't know if it's content related so I'm going to Tweet this and if it's automatic the the spam will be there like usually it's the first first comment so let's just test it Let's test that tweet if any of you are watching it at the same time all right um the first two comments are not spam so it's possible that there are humans deciding which ones to attach the spam to do you think that's how it works do you think a human is doing it because it happened so quickly it looks like it's automated if it doesn't if it doesn't pop up in like a minute then I won't believe it's automated and let's see show more replies of course more replies on this one than normal of course all right well I don't see it so I just I guess I don't know if it's automatic Erica the excellent has already weighed in on this tweet and you're right you're correct Erica all right um is there any stories I missed that don't involve Mass tragedies affected what about Kanye's tweet about asking Trump to be his running mate oh did he do that well oh Alex Berenson and Tom Elliott are in a Twitter argument on weed so Berenson was sort of anti-weed right so there's one um statistic that I follow for weed is life expectancy the the only study I've seen comparing uh you know frequent weed users with the rest of the public showed that their life expectancy was greater than the regular public now I don't trust studies so I'd have to see more but what I don't trust is the ones that say uh this looks like wheat is even worse for your lungs than whatever because it feels like all those things are suggestive of a problem that doesn't show up in total mortality and Attila shows up in total mortality have you ever heard of anybody dying of a weed related problem have you ever heard you didn't smoke cigarettes but he died of lung cancer I've never heard of it I mean maybe it happens uh Ali is still suspended Ali Alexander is still expended somebody says yeah he's going to be he's going to be an edge case too oh I forgot my best joke can you mentally go back with me in time I've got to rewind all right this will be worth it watch this it'll be just like this it hadn't already happened and you hadn't already watched it so Tim Poole has a new uh mascot uh Chang uh oyer or uyghur I don't know how to pronounce his last name um and you may know Jenkins the poor man's Alex Jones okay that's all I wanted to do now now back back where we were he's the poor man's Alex Jones come on that's pretty good um by the way this is one of my favorite jokes or a joke is structures I love the joke structure when you say somebody is the poor man's somebody else because you can do it for almost anybody you'd find somebody who just swear reminds you of them and is you know worse or better in some way and then you say they're the poor man it's always funny um somebody says I'm the poor man's Jordan Peterson see that's perfect that and that works yeah calling me the poor man's Jordan Peterson is perfect yeah that is the exact that that's how you do that well executed well executed now I try to be consistent on the following point if somebody criticizes me or insults me in a way that's legitimately funny I'm just going to go with the joke I'll just ignore the criticism yeah because usually it's about the joke not the criticism and I'll just appreciate it I appreciate a good joke at my expense if it's well well-formed and you know you're going for the laugh that's fine um yay tweeted to use that bar Lago yeah do you think that uh do you think that anything can redeem Kanye when he does the you know I'm Jewish stuff um here's how he could redeem himself Kanye could just deny and say you know all that uh I'm more Jewish than the Jewish people you know I did some more research and I found out that uh you know that wasn't all it was cracked up to be you know that the research didn't pan out and then just say I did more work and now I changed my mind could he do that if you saw Kanye say you know everybody criticized me I looked into it and I gotta say that was just a mistake I believe he could pull that off he could pull though because you know what you know what America really forgives well what is it that America is really forgiving for we we forgive honest mistakes when somebody owns it right if you own your mistake people are way okay with you right and I always thought that was part of Trump's magic if Trump had said um elect to be president yea is the poor man's Kanye that's pretty good uh part of Trump's Magic is that he never told he he was a High character person and so when things you know the accusations came out that would go to his character you would say ah oh yeah you did tell us that I guess that was pretty transparent he actually said running for president I'm No Angel I'm No Angel that is the clear statement you could ever get that if you dig around you're going to find some stuff you don't like but that's not what I'm proposing as president as president I'm proposing to do these things for you I'm not proposing to date you right I'm not I'm not proposing to sexually harass you so you could care about it but that's not my proposition so I'll give you that that's you got some things in my closet there you're not gonna like yeah um so I think that yay is a a sympathetic character meaning that people are primed to want to like it would you agree I think people are primed to want to like him so all you have to do is just give us a path but he made it impossible because what am I going to say oh I agree with the guy saying anti-semitic things like it just cuts me off like I'm not going to go there so he has to fix that but I want him to I would like him to fix it like us all to learn something from it yay literally and then move on I'd be fine with that you know I don't think yay has ever told told us he's complete has he has yeah ever said you know I've got my completely together you know why don't you be more like me quite the opposite quite the opposite he is all he has always told you he's a that he's basically a mess who happens to be an artistic genius both true he's an artistic genius maybe a business genius until recently and and he's also a mess but he's transparent about it you know mental problems and all um Ice Cube passed up 9 million because of the jab and so he lost some work because is that what you're saying yeah he he's still interesting though all right um anybody watching the World Cup I guess Lionel Messi his team lost to Saudi Arabia wow that was a shocker if you don't follow soccer you don't realize what a you know World bending shocker that was now here's a little tip for you if you don't like watching soccer and that would be common of a number of Americans spend five minutes looking for highlight reels of Lionel Messi scoring goals and it's not like watching soccer right soccer is a lot of people trying stuff that doesn't work oh I tried that pass but somebody got it oh I tried to get past that guy but he stopped me it's like a whole bunch of people who aren't quite good enough to play soccer playing soccer it looks like and then Lionel Messi we'll just dribble through like 13 of them in a row and then score this ridiculous goal into the corner and you watch that and you say I don't know what I even saw like I don't even know how any that's possible and you also have to remember that Messi was told he was too small to play professional soccer because he's small and he's the best player in the world so you know I guess maybe I root for him for you know overcoming that obstacle as well but when you watch Lionel Messi it's not like watching soccer you're watching it almost looks like it's not possible it looks like magic or something so do yourself a favor five minutes of Lionel Messi You.
Tube highlight reel it'll just blow your mind you you won't believe people can do what he does he was put on ghg during puberty we'll see how tall is he Alexa how tall is Lionel Messi he's five seven all right ladies and gentlemen I believe that's just about all I have for today um this might be the best live stream you've ever seen Tom Brady is the poor man's Lionel Messi okay maybe there is a limit to that there might be a limit to how well that joke works huh um did exception to the rule all right um yeah the news was interesting but there wasn't much of it today so I'm gonna go do some other stuff and all of you have a great day on You.
Tube I'll talk to the locals people in a minute
good morning everybody and welcome to
another highlight of civilization coffee
with Scott Adams the finest experience
of your life
so far
tomorrow's looking good too now if you'd
like to take it up to levels of
happiness that we didn't even know were
possible until recently all you need is
a cup of mug or a glass attacker jealous
this time a canteen drug or flask of a
vessel of any kind and fill it with your
favorite liquid I like coffee
and join me now for the unparalleled
pleasure that don't be anything means
everything better it's called the
simultaneous Sip and it happens all over
the world now go
very good very good yeah
that's some good stuff
well the good news is the Dilbert
website is restored
so from Friday through Tuesday
it was pretty well hosed I I don't have
any updates myself
so I don't know what the problem was or
why it took so long
but my initial initial belief was it was
probably a bad hack
I don't know
but it's back up and is working and
that's all good
did you know that Intel
the company the company Intel has
developed a deep fake detector
apparently you can look at a deep fake
you know a digital image of a person
and they can even pick up like
apparently changes in blood flow
I I don't know how it picks that up but
it thinks it can
and so that would be awesome 96 is
pretty good I would think that the ones
that we cared about would be the ones we
can't detect but
um and then I wondered
I wonder if you could build a detector
to detect NPCs
and do you remember the Battle Star
Galactica
where part of the technology was they
could detect the uh
this Androids I guess so they could
detect the people who looked exactly
like people the the cylons yeah they
look exactly like people but they were
really young mechanical
uh
here's how I think you could build an
NPC detector
it goes like this
you just go up to somebody you want to
check
and then you say hey I heard about a
really good form of exercise
the experts are saying it's an excellent
form of exercise and it's kind of new
and uh you know it seems to hit all the
notes and all the experts say it's a
really good form of exercise
now what you do is then you wait that's
that that primes the detector what
you're waiting for
is for somebody to say
swimming is the best form of exercise
and then you got them
that's an NPC
because the NPCs will only say the most
obvious thing you could say in that
situation
right so just ask that just say oh this
is new form of exercise and just wait
swimming is the best form of exercise
gotcha I gotcha
so you try that
try that on your so-called relatives
over the holidays
find out how many your so-called
relatives if you know what I mean
are real
all right um
San Francisco is going full racist
um the city of San Francisco fired
a person who is in charge of its
elections the the elections Department
chief
whose performance was good there was no
problem whatsoever and the people who
fired him says no there's no problem
with his performance
he had one problem that they couldn't
overlook
white and male
and they said how in the world are we
ever going to have diversity at the
senior levels of responsibility if these
white people are clogging up the
progress they're keeping these jobs so
there was a white guy who was like
ruining everything by simply having a
job and doing it well according to
everybody and because he had a job and
he did it well he was
obviously sort of a racist because he
was blocking out any chance of diversity
because there were only so many jobs
so he got fired
um I would love to be the lawyer who
handles that lawsuit
because if that's not a slam dunk
I don't know anything
if you can't win that lawsuit
I I don't know anything
about anything
am I wrong
don't you just have to show up to win
that one
so why was why was he fired well he was
fired because he's a white male
and that's the end of the case isn't it
or could you get a jury in San Francisco
who said I'd like to hear more
I'd like to hear the other side of this
only in San Francisco
could the actual employer say well we do
stipulate we do admit
performance was great he was only fired
because of his uh he was a white male
and and then only in San Francisco would
somebody say I'll need to hear more
I'd like to hear you know because
probably you know there's an argument on
the other side
um
I'm not so sure no standing
all right
here is the most horrifying
humorous
story of the day
can we agree there's nothing funny about
people dying
because we're all good people right
it is not my fault
that there's a story in which this is
just horrendous like a a human tragedy
of the of the highest level
and still something came out of it that
I can't ignore
all right I didn't want to talk about
you know mass shootings but you all know
there was a lgbtq nightclub that got
shot up
I don't want to talk about those details
although except there was a I think an
army veteran who took him out took him
down so
so thank you for your service twice
there's somebody you can thank for his
service twice once for I think three
tours in Iraq and once we're taking down
the shooter and the lgbtq club
interestingly he was neither he was not
lgbtq he was just a fan
he just liked the environment he was
having a great time with his family and
you know they have some connection to
the community I guess so he's a big fan
of the LGBT community but I bet they're
pretty happy he was there because uh if
you listen to his description
I'll tell you this is the best argument
for diversity
you'll ever get
now when I say diversity I mean all the
ways people think differently act
differently have different experiences
different life truths you know like all
the whole realm of diversity do you know
why
because this military guy in that club
as he described it when the shooting
started he ran toward it
you ran toward it
how much training do you have to have to
run toward gunfire
well I don't have that
although I can't guarantee I wouldn't
run toward it because I do like danger
more than I should
um
that's amazing isn't it it's amazing so
if you didn't have one person with that
kind of let's call it diverse the person
with diverse experience and diverse
I don't know maybe even philosophy about
what to do in that situation if you
didn't have that guy there would have
been a lot more people dead
right
so there's a there's a case where
diversity of one type really made a
difference
um but here's the story which I hate to
be amused by this because you know the
larger story is a tragedy of course but
apparently the accused shooter
um is identifying as non-binary
which we cynical people suspect
may not be entirely on the up and up
because part of the uh part of the
charges would be hate crime related
because of where it was
but he the the uh they apparently we do
not speak of the alleged shooter as he
anymore that's the old way we now refer
to the shooter as they
so they
has established a non-binary identity
and I don't know what is funnier
the fact that it might work
my work
you know
and maybe he is
can we rule out the possibility that the
shooter actually does
identify as non-binary
I think that's entirely possible I don't
know that's why it might work and but
the funny part is
that the the left
has a very strong rule that you get to
identify yourself it's not for other
people to tell you what you are
so I believe he's embracing and
amplifying
if you know what I mean
he may be taking the left's own
philosophy and just saying all right if
those are my rules I'll play by your
rules how do you like it
or his lawyer is Right some combination
of him plus his lawyer so uh watching
CNN's Ellison camarado deal with this
news and not know what to say about it
because she can't be
anti-identify whatever you want
that's not going to really work with the
CNN brand even the revising in brand
uh and she can't say it's not true
because they don't have they don't have
that reporting there's nobody to say
it's not true so what are you going to
do with it you just got to say it and
then sit there with a look at your face
like oh God why do I have to be involved
in this news
uh
the shooter is a fired non-binary cook
somebody say does anybody have any any
evidence that the non-binary is indeed
was indeed non-binary before the
shooting
is there any actual evidence of that
because that would make it even
I hate to say interesting that's that's
just a horrible word
prior by two years somebody says all
right well we'll see
we'll see
uh we don't know about that
um
anyway
so of course the Democrats are accusing
Republicans of their rhetoric uh stoking
this this violence now of course
that that narrative will go away if it
turns out that this is a leftist
non-binary person
as possible
so we'll see where this goes but
um I was wondering what exactly was it
the Republicans said that would Inspire
somebody to get a firearm and go and
shoot a bunch of people
in the LGBT community
have any of you heard any Republicans
suggest
death to the lgbtqs
or anything even close to that
isn't the only thing they say
um some of you stay away from our kids
like have you ever seen a republican say
it's all those gays like all those gays
want our want to train our kids in ways
we don't like I've never heard that
I
I don't even know
I mean I don't I don't even hear
anti-gay anything from conservatives and
I would hear it believe me I would hear
it like nobody people don't hold back
when they're talking to me privately
like if if you're if you're new to my
live stream or if you're especially if
you lean left trust me when people talk
to me privately they don't hold back and
when conservatives tell me I get the
whole story and I just don't hear any
anti-gay stuff
like from anybody it just sort of
doesn't exist now I'm not saying there
isn't some place in the Deep South or
some other places where it's really a
bad problem I'm just saying it's just
one report right I'm just an anecdotal
reporter so I don't I don't mean to say
that my experience is General
but for what it's worth
I have a lot of contact with the
conservative community and they seem to
be concerned about how things would
affect their preferences
but nobody gives a where you put
your penis I've never heard that nobody
or where you put any other part of you I
guess just to make it a just to make it
uh inclusive yeah
Mike Pompeo who we think might be
gearing up to run for
president
um you said this I get asked who's the
most dangerous person in the world is it
chairman Kim is it uh Xi Jinping
he said the most dangerous person in the
world is Randy Weingarten
to the president of the biggest
teachers union
now remember this is Mike Pompeo
whose entire job was to figure out who
is the most dangerous person in the
world and Protect America from him
and he just said the most dangerous
person in America is an American who is
essentially destroying your children's
future
by doing a good job
so if I could be fair
it looks like Randy Weingarten does a
good job for her members if they don't
care about anything else
but
it doesn't work for the rest of us
all right and uh Pompeo said who's the
most likely to take this Republic down
it would be the teachers unions and the
filth that they're teaching our kids
well you know the filth part is a subset
of the larger problem I wouldn't say
that's the big risk I don't think it's
the filth that's going to take us down
that's just a preference a big one I
mean it's important but
that's not I think what takes us down is
just bad education system that fills
people's heads with you know America
hating ideas
um
all right so
I gotta say
I hear lots of critics of Mike Pompeo
and I don't know exactly what he did or
didn't do that you don't like but
if there's a republican candidate who's
going to go directly at the head of the
teachers unions
he just reached the top of my
consideration list
I gotta say
he just went right to the top now not
above Trump or above DeSantis but he's
in the mix now
until Pompeo said this I would not have
considered him
as serious anything
and if Mike Pompeo says I'll take out
the cartels labs
it's going to be tough not to support
him
it's going to be tough
so let me warn you in advance if you
have some reasons you don't want me to
support Mike Pompeo for president
maybe you should tell me before I get
ahead of myself now everything you say
about him he's a rhino he did this he
did that I'm not going to care
I'm a single issue voter If he if he
plays me right on my single issue
then you and I got to be on the other
team the opposite teams that's just the
way it's going to go
all right now uh ideally what would
happen ideally
ideally
he would make the other candidates more
competitive
so if in fact he said something
aggressive about the cartels I think
Trump and DeSantis or whoever runs
they're going to have to they're going
to take their game up to match it don't
you think
whoever says the toughest thing on the
Republican side
that becomes a competitive Point
anybody who's below that point is going
to have to come up to it I think
so having Mike Pompeo in the race or
even just talking about being in the
race so far
good work
good work
because Mike Pompeo just made the
conversation better
in my opinion so forget about whether
you support him or not he just made the
conversation better by throwing the
Randy Weingarten you know issue into the
at the top of the mix so good job he's
already added to the to the country I
think in that one sense
um I need to give you there's a
confusing story in the news today so I
need to give you a clarification some of
you may have mixed up two stories
but there's a story in the news that in
Mexico speaking of Mexico a dog was
spotted running through Mexico with a
severed human hand
in his mouth and uh so people followed
it back to where it found it and found
53 bags of human remains buried in the
ground
so that was a dog with a severed human
hand and
no you I know you're saying it's old
news no no no no the old news was that a
dog was seen carrying a separate head
because so that's the confusing part so
not long ago there was uh in uh
Zacatecas Mexico there was a dog
carrying a severed human head which was
also followed back to the mass burial
where they found you know lots of dead
bodies so don't confuse the story about
the the Mexican dog with a severed hand
that track back to a big pile of dead
bodies this that's different from the
story of the dog with the severed head
the track back to a pile of bodies now
I'm not a psychic but I'm going to make
a prediction
I feel within two weeks there's going to
be a story about a Mexican dog with a
severed foot
that will wait for it wait for it lead
back
to a mass grave of other bodies
we'll just see how I do
see how I do I just feel like that's
coming
so nothing to worry about in Mexico
there
now let me ask you this
do you think the average Mexican citizen
would object to the American Military
wiping out the cartel
cartels multiple cartels do you think
the average Mexican citizen would be
opposed to the American Military saying
look we're just going to save you
you guys need some saving so we're just
going to kill your bad guys for a while
I feel like the citizens wouldn't be
that opposed I mean there's always going
to be you know screaming
but I feel like I feel like you could
give 60 of the citizens on board just to
say well we'll wait we'll wait and see
how this turns out
let's not judge this too soon
let's see how it turns out
yeah now of course plenty of people
would be you know nationalists and
plenty of people would be benefiting
from the cartels and so you're always
going to get lots of you'll always get
lots of uh you know disagreement than
anything but I got a feeling a lot of
the public would be okay with it I mean
if you've got dogs scaring around body
parts
where you live you're going to be
looking for an alternative
all right as was noted CNN might not
have tweeted this or had this news story
um a year ago here's the actual headline
on CNN
talking about the vaccinations new
boosters add limited protection against
covid-19 illness
did you expect CNN ever to say that the
boosters don't help that much
yeah yeah now can we take a moment
to once again
give CNN a little bit of credit
right every time they do something right
I feel like I should call it out
and this looks like straight reporting
to me that's just great reporting so
good job
um
as far as that goes
so I have a theory
the Democrats vote mostly for policy and
Republicans vote mostly for personality
leadership I'd say now of course both
sides
consider all variables they both
consider the leadership they both
consider the policies but do you think
that you could ever get a Democrat I'm
sorry do you think you could get a
republican candidate
like let's say with just the general
capabilities of
Biden fetterman Adam Schiff or swalwell
I mean I feel like I feel like uh
I feel like Republicans say first we're
going to start with
are you a functioning human being you
have some leadership skills
and you say well Trump
you know lots of leadership skills uh
DeSantis lots of leadership skills you
know Abbott leadership skills and
Lindsey Grant exists
you know lots of exceptions lots of
exceptions of course but in our current
mode
don't you think that the the Democrats
can literally run anybody
am I wrong
I think the Democrats are okay
with having somebody who's just like a
seat filler or a proxy for the policies
that they like I think as long as they
get their policies
they don't really care who it is
and I feel like the Republicans are a
little bit more
maybe more tuned to strength of
leadership
you know maybe uh isn't there some
science about that that Republicans are
like strong leaders
did it I think I saw that
so it kind of makes sense it kind of
makes sense that there's a
there's no bench for the Democrats but
it might not make any difference at all
in fact I'm going to predict that the
quality of the candidate for president
probably won't be a factor
at least on the Democrat side
um
but on the Republican side if the
Republicans are not all happy with their
the leadership qualities of the
candidate that's the problem so I think
you could get Democrats to vote for
literally any individual
long as a republican Democrat but I feel
like I feel like Republicans are going
to be a little more judgy about the the
leadership capabilities of the specific
person
so that's you know a problem for Trump
have you ever seen a time when we had
fewer genuine leaders in this country
is it my imagination that leadership is
largely gone away
right
it seems like there's an enormous vacuum
and I don't mean I don't just mean that
Biden is weak that's part of the story
but it feels like nobody's strong
right because because Trump has been you
know suppressed and he's off of Twitter
and everything else even though musk is
teasing it back with funny memes which
is hilarious
um but we've never had less leadership
and I feel like some of that void is
being filled by the internet dads
you know the actual internet dad's
influence so there's definitely a shift
happening I think
um
and more to my point the two you know
some of the most provocative or
let's say uh what do I want to say
extreme I don't know candidates on the
right
so think about the people who get the
most criticism on the right
let's say Marjorie teller green
uh and bobert let's just pick two of
those characters
don't you notice that both of them are
both strong leaders
like the personality wise they're they
they just like scream leadership but you
might not like you know some things they
do you might not like some things they
said you might not like their policies
but wouldn't you agree that they're both
very strong
charismatic leaders so you can dislike
them for any number of things but you
can't you can't deny
that when they're on camera
they they project a strength
it's very Republican thing I'm not
saying it's good or bad it's just an
observation that could explain a few
things
um
all right
and the Republicans don't really have
the Republicans are really real trouble
you know right
because if you say to yourself well you
got Trump if people decide him you know
he's been presidents that's a strong
Choice and then you look at your
Republican bench and you say
Scott Scott that Republican bench looks
pretty strong
what's it going to look like after Trump
is done with them
it's going to look like you're going to
have a trump that you know a third or
more of Republicans aren't happy with
and then all of the options will be
destroyed
so we're not going to have much left to
choose from you know by the time we're
done
all right
um did you see the spokesperson for
Biden
Korean
John what's her name why can't I never
remember her name
Jean-Pierre
okay whatever
um but her answer about fentanyl coming
across the border was that the abiding
Administration has caught a record
amount of Sentinel they have inter
interdicted a record amount so that's
pretty good right they got a they got a
record amount that they captured coming
across the border
I'll tell you there's nothing that makes
me more angry
than when somebody is bullshitting you
and they don't bother to
make it look like maybe they're not
if you if you ask what are you doing
about Fentanyl and the only answer is
how much they caught at the border
and they don't tell you how much God
through
as in did more get through than ever
or is all that catching at the border
reduce the total amount that got through
or is it possible you don't know
because the only data I care about is
what got through
if you're telling me what didn't get
through you're not talking in the same
conversation oh very good I'm glad you
caught it no good job go catch some more
but has nothing to do with with you know
understanding what the problem is if if
you're if you are going to insult the
public
with that answer of how much you caught
and completely ignore
the fact that you don't know how much
got through
you suck
like you're a shitty person
and I can't respect you whatsoever
because if you're gonna on me like
I'm so stupid that I can't tell
the difference between what got through
and what got caught and I'm going to
befall for this this misdirection then
you think I'm a idiot right and
you treat me like a idiot
and it's going to come back
it's going to come back yeah you know I
I think the spokesperson is either a
liar
an or completely incompetent
which is you know pick one
pick one I don't care which one you pick
yeah I know you want me to use the c
word but
I can't I can't give it away
gratuitously
uh by the way for the purposes of this
criticism I identify as non-binary
I'm just non-binary as long as I'm
criticizing the spokesperson
as soon as I move to the next topic
right back right back to my old identity
of adult black male all right
um
I think the biggest risk to humanity is
not just the teachers unions
I think it's the bad relationship advice
on social media
I'm not joking
no joke
the biggest risk to America anyway
is the bad relationship advice
on social media
my God Is it bad
my God let me let me give you just an
idea
of the types of bad advice we're getting
number one my favorite is advice that
only works if the two adults are both
functional humans who
who really have their together
that addresses almost nobody
if we were functional you know we and a
couple if you were functional you
probably didn't need much advice in the
first place
but very few how often do two functional
people get together
have you ever heard anybody talk about
their divorce
do they ever say you know
I was very functional and so was my
partner but you know didn't work out for
some reason
no they always say the other person is
bad crazy
or a narcissist right
right the guy is always abusive
narcissist
and the woman's always bad crazy
you know even if they're not
so there's no such thing as these these
two functional people getting together
and working through their working
through their issues with their good
tools
oh
I think that happens for some people
so if you're giving advice that could
only work in the rarest of situations
it doesn't help now this is analogous to
my criticism of success advice
do you know what kind of advice doesn't
help
success advice that only works for
really smart people
because you might not be one
right
so when I talk about
um
forming a talent stack or the systems
are better than goals do you notice that
that works for everybody
I don't know if anybody's picked that up
but that you know probably the two most
important contributions I'll make to
um civilization is
the talent stack idea putting together
talents that work well together
and having a system as opposed to a goal
those two things work for everybody
smart people dumb people criminals
non-criminals like it just it's as good
a generic advice but man when I hear the
advice about
learn to code
maybe but I'm not sure everybody can
learn to code right that's not good
advice
so same with relationships
um here's another category
uh advice that made a lot of sense in
the 50s
I'm seeing a lot of advice
that was just perfect for the 50s
but the things have changed a little bit
and your old traditional
traditional situation it might have been
better you know the traditional family
it might have been better but you're not
going back like sort of the horse got
out of the barn there a little bit so
that that advice is a little a bit of a
problem
how about number three
I'm seeing a place for men that's so
host to it in human reproduction
advice for men
that so about what women want and how
hard it is to satisfy them and happen if
you get married
it's it I've seen more honest advice
than I've ever seen in my life honest
advice would end civilization
because the only reason we do things
that make civilization go forward is
because we're hypnotized by civilization
to think that we should do things a
certain way that
helps reproduction
if you were just looking out for
yourself probably you would make
different decisions
but you know we're sort of reproduction
optimized
so we're going to reproduce no matter
what
um and I would say Andrew
Tate is you know on that list
so they're they're The Men Who say
you tell the woman exactly what you will
put up with
and then if she if she crosses that line
there's no forgiveness you just walk
away and break it off
how does that advice work in the real
world
ah
well if you're Andrew taint it probably
works great for him
it might it might be perfect because
he's got resources and he can travel the
world and he can just get rid of one
girl and get another
now suppose everybody took his advice
and you all said you give me you give me
once and I'm out of here
you know I'm in charge
I'm in charge that's how this is going
to work as soon as you know you stop uh
understanding that oh you can you're
you're free
go go make it somewhere else do you
think that would work
no it would end all reproduction
the the only reason we reproduce is
because men don't quite realize that the
evolutionary purpose of a woman is to
drain a man's resources and transfer it
to children
if you if you see if you see humans as a
machine
you know like if you're looking at an
engine you say all right the carburetor
does this the spark plugs do this if you
just look at Humanity as a machine the
purpose of women is to take resources
for men
and not to leave them alive or healthy
nobody needs that
all you need is the kids to be alive and
healthy if the kids are doing good then
reproduction has been satisfied and
that's all Evolution cares about
Evolution never said hey let's make men
happy
instead
it went cheap
instead of making men happy with I don't
know how you do it but it'd be hard
men have been designed by Evolution
apparently
to believe that tomorrow is going to be
better
if they just give the woman what she's
asking for
she won't be unhappy tomorrow
because you will solve their problem
and if men did not have the illusion
that women have problems that can be
solved and then everything's good
because the problem is solved if we if
we could ever get out of that illusion
everything would be break
but men stay with it because we're
pretty sure that was just a temporary
problem
I'm sure that that won't happen again
tomorrow
and maybe it doesn't but it's a
different thing so here's the most the
most important thing you need to know
about women
they're designed to keep their man
unhappy
because if the man is happy he's not
going to do anything for him
If he if the woman projects herself as
being unhappy the man will say all right
all right you're ruining my whole day
I'll give you that thing and then
tomorrow because I solve this problem
tomorrow is going to be good
at least tomorrow is going to work out
and then the woman
realizes that this happy man isn't going
to give her anything so she gets unhappy
again
and then the guy's all right one more
day I'll just do this other thing
repeat forever
now
if men understood this
and I could even tell you and like we're
so trained to not see the world that way
that I can't just tell you and then you
can see it
um
but am I wrong
imagine just taking your own
relationship and imagine you took uh
Andrew Dane's advice
and man let me ask you this married men
he takes his advice if if your woman
doesn't give you what you want you just
walk out you say we're done
we're done how would that work in your
life
it wouldn't work at all it wouldn't work
at all
because you're not Andrew teen and you
can't get on your private jet and go to
another country and
and Will some Romanian girl that doesn't
know you right
now I'm not saying he hasn't worked
worked on a good system for himself
and I compliment him for that and Andrew
Tate is doing a great
career Financial you know energy monster
kind of job for himself
for himself
but I don't think his advice is going to
work for all of you necessarily
oh here's another category
uh advice for women about what men want
as if giving men what they want would
make a woman happy
I keep hearing you know women you have
to know that you know men need you know
some quiet time and you know they they
need to be appreciated and the advice
sounds really good
sounds really good like wow
seems like that those are all the things
the man would want do you know what's
wrong with that advice
you're giving advice to somebody who
doesn't want that advice
they know how to make the man happy
they keep him unhappy intentionally
because making him happy would be
terrible for them
they wouldn't get what they wanted like
I just said right they have to keep him
slightly unhappy all the time that's how
this entire operating system there's no
second way to do it
all right unless you know if there's
some rare very functional people
and
uh
here's here's one
this is just me being an
so I'll say it first so you don't have
to
so the fifth one on my list is just me
being a little bit of an
and the fifth one is advice from
relationship experts who spend most of
their time on the road
uh I'm just gonna let that sit there
yeah
I don't want to hear
I do not want to hear relationship
advice from somebody who doesn't have to
be home very much
you know what I mean
I feel like we'd all do a little bit
better
if we were home
and that that's especially what I feel
when I hear um and uh and to be honest
if you haven't picked it up a lot of
this is uh indirect criticism of Jordan
Peterson's relationship advice
now Jordan Peterson is genuinely
a super smart guy and when he says
things they always make sense right and
you know if people could do the things
that he's he's recommending they'd
probably be great but I think he does he
I think he does advice for functional
people who largely don't exist
and
he models being away from home a lot
because it seems like he gets around
I know I feel like that's got to be part
of it
and and he said something that I saw
yesterday I don't know when he said it
but I saw a clip of Jordan Peterson
saying that you know being a being a
High character man and and building a
you know functional relationship and
especially a family is really the only
thing that's going to make you happy
when you reach the age of 60.
have you ever heard him say that like
when you reach a certain age you know
all of your cheap joy and cheap sex and
all that it's not gonna that's not gonna
feed you once you're 60 what are you
going to do still be a playboy at 60.
now interestingly he just turned 60.
so that's his age
and
I was sitting there before before I
heard that at age 65. I was sitting
there thinking damn I just have good
days lately
like like ever since I you know I got
off that pharmaceutical nightmare a few
several weeks ago but I've had nothing
but good days like I wake up and I go oh
man
I'm gonna like have a nice walk in the
sun I'm I gotta get a massage later
like I'll just do one good thing after
another I'll go play with my dog
even the work I do
is work I don't mind doing I miss
arguably this is work but barely
and I was thinking to myself I was
perfectly happy and then I listened to
Jordan Peterson told me that I was you
know empty and had no no no chance of
happiness because I'm not in the family
and I thought
Maybe
we'll see he could be right about that
all right
um
did you hear CNN playing uh cell phone
cell phone conversation of a Russian
soldier in Ukraine calling his
girlfriend and complaining about
the Russian leadership
now that the
um I guess the uh
the summary of that
is that the the soldiers that the
Russian soldiers said that the
leadership got um
let's say shelled
and they packed up and they moved
further away from the front line
but they didn't move their troops
further from the front line
they didn't move the troops further and
the soldiers like what the hell like
we're just getting apparently half of
them had been wiped out
so they and and the soldier was talking
about
killing murdering their own Commanders
now I don't know if it's just one guy
spouting off to his girlfriend but he
actually said it you know there that
they were getting ready to go just kill
their own Commander and
and I you know who knows how
representative it is but one of the
things that the soldier said is that if
it wasn't for this you know ragtagged
bunch of people who were half of them
have been killed and they don't want to
be there that that's the only thing
keeping Ukraine from marching to Moscow
and I thought to myself
have the Russian soldiers Been Told
that they're protecting Moscow
do you think that they believe maybe
they've been propagandized the Ukraine
is the aggressor
do they believe that a Ukrainian
aggressor because maybe
I mean
uh you are ignorant concerning Jordan
Peterson igles says aren't we all
how could I not be ignorant about Jordan
Peterson
would I not need to read his mind to
have a complete picture
I I suppose you've done that have you
have you done the work you did some
research dug a little deeper developed a
machine that could read his mind
complete all the picture fill in all the
black the dots
all right well I just want to mock you a
little bit
for that
all right um
student loans so and let me let me
summarize everything that you hear out
of Ukraine is propaganda
you know I just have to remind you
because every once in a while people say
how did Scott
you know believe that propaganda I don't
believe it
I'm just saying it exists you shouldn't
believe anything out of Ukraine it is
entirely possible that the Russian
troops are right at the point of total
collapse
but I wouldn't bet on it right it's
possible
um
so the White House found a new way to
screw the country by extending the
student loan repayment until uh June
2023.
and that's an interesting time because
doesn't that mean that it would expire
it would expire before the election
is that when they wanted to expire
because then it looks like the Democrats
picked something that would expire
I think they want to make it look like
it's a Republican's fault I suppose I
could spin it that way
but anyway it's a
as weasel plans go
it's a pretty Weasley plant
the the fact that they're selling to
their idiot uh
their idiot base that they're actually
going to be able to get away with
this loan repayment stuff
it's just amazing to me
all right I want to I want to give you
my favorite story of the day you know as
you know I have a mascot does everybody
know who my mascot is
I want to make sure that I've got the
word around you is Keith olberman now
the way this works is that a mascot is
somebody who starts as just a Critic
but if they're really really good at it
or really energetic and really
entertaining
then they rise to the level of mascot so
in my life Keith olberman has been
criticizing me for 20 years and it's all
crazy and funny
so like once I realized he was my mascot
then I look forward to every time I hear
from him
so it just sort of turns it into a
positive but uh Tim Poole got himself a
mascot
so and and maybe a better one than mine
I mean I thought olberman would be hard
to top
but Tim Poole
he got himself
a good mascot
I'm going to play it for you
some little kids like that go get them
boys guys go get them please please vote
for our molesters and our pedophiles
Republicans say Republicans you're
guilty okay and I'll tell you right now
the number one reason they constantly
talk about pedophilia is because it's
going through their heads non-stop
they're thinking about kids I guarantee
it the reason Temple wears a beanie is
because he's trying to contain the
pedophilia that's in his head that's
what he's always talking about it he's
seeing it everywhere why because he's
projecting and the right way he's like
yes I love how they molest the little
kids like that go get them boys guys go
get em please please
foreign
Republicans say Republicans you're
guilty okay and I'll tell you right now
the number one reason they constantly
talk about pedophilia is because it's
going through their heads non-stop
they're thinking about kids I guarantee
it the reasons
um so uh
Temple retwees it
you know you've done a bad job as a
Critic when the target of your criticism
retweets it and the first part of the
retweet is LOL
I
said Tim Poole says LOL OMG this is
amazing it's weird because I'm not a not
Catholic conservative or republican like
they can't understand that Independents
oppose them too
uh anyone who isn't in the cult is
Republican and he says uh Jack I love
you buddy which is perfect
so if you want a lesson uh how to handle
uh your your craziest people
read with them and just give them an LOL
retweet and let people decide for
themselves so that that was about as
perfect as it could be
and uh my other favorite story
[Music]
Elon Musk
finds a closet full of uh stay woke
shirts
at Twitter
is the entire
entire closet full of secret closet of
hashtag work that's for sure here we are
at the most
thing that Elizabeth so
so everything that you imagined about
is apparently true like every every like
everything you imagined that could be
maybe you know not quite ideal it was
all true
now
may I add my own suggestions
I think Elon Musk should take all these
shirts and give them to the homeless
not only that
but I think
I think that Republicans should make
lots more shirts that also have Democrat
slogans on them and also give them to
the homeless in fact I would give the
homeless free close forever as long as
that this is the free clothing had a had
a pro-democrat statement on it
and by the way I wouldn't have anything
anti-democrat it would be their own it'd
be like vote for Hillary
you know Joe Biden is my president you
know that sort of thing and just make it
free but you know good enough quality
and you know clean and maybe even do a
laundry service
now imagine offering laundry service for
the homeless
like actually literally wash their
clothes but also part of that provide
them new fresher clothes that have
Democrat slogans on
come on that's you love that idea
it's
yes democrats for Fentanyl
ah that would be funny all right
um and I saw a parody on Twitter that I
honestly couldn't tell I had to tweet to
ask if it was parody Or real good I
didn't care so it was somebody saying
that they were a fired uh fact Checker
at Twitter
and it was so spot on of what looks like
it could have been an actual fired fact
Checker at Twitter
that I couldn't tell it was hilarious
but I didn't know if it was hilarious
because it was parody Or it was
hilarious because it was real I actually
couldn't tell like legitimately
legitimately I didn't even have the best
guess now it turns out it was parody and
it was it was labeled parody in the
profile but I didn't want to check like
obviously I could have checked in a
second right but I didn't want to look
because I didn't want to know if it if
it was parody
I didn't want to know I want to I just
wanted to enjoy it for his beauty
without knowing for a while
um
here's another in the category of things
you suspected that turns out are totally
true
I saw Dinesh D'Souza a tweet where he
was talking about uh Twitter and said
that
um
that the censorship was deployed as a
one-way operation against conservatives
all right so that's a that's a big
statement right this is sort of
conspiracy theory statement you would
have heard you know a year and a half
ago and you would have said well that
just sounds like
you know Dinesh is making just a purely
political statement right so censorship
has been deployed as a one-way operation
against conservatives
and then Elon Musk replies in the
comments with one word
correct
correct
[Laughter]
now do you think that Elon Musk now
knows exactly
uh how things were being being censored
and why
probably
probably
musk knows exactly who got censored and
why and as someone else pointed out
maybe it was Dinesh pointed out I think
Dinesh pointed out that you're not
seeing a bunch of band leftists coming
back on the platform
do you know why
because there weren't any and there
weren't any
it was exactly what you thought it was
it was just a way to suppress
conservatives apparently
all right
um
so ladies and gentlemen I feel like
there was a few funny stories that I
missed
uh
oh the krasenstein brothers yeah you
know
Kathy Griffin
well Kathy Griffin was sort of a special
case wasn't she and you know I thought
it was uh funny and smart
the musk brought Kathy Griffin back in
the first wave of people brought back
because that showed he was at least
considering you know both sides of the
aisle for for comebacks and I thought
that was just a smart way to play it
uh do I have a my pillow promo code I
don't
I do need some new pillows though I
should get some
um
now how many of you are noticing a an
improvement in the troll criticism
activity on Twitter
I would say that my my troll
troll traffic is down at least 80
percent
in fact I'll even go further the people
who criticize me now might actually be
real people
they might actually just be people who
disagree with me
it feels very different yeah I I can
feel my metabolism
doesn't do the same thing it did even a
year ago on Twitter a year ago on
Twitter I could feel my body catch on
fire after a few tweets
but that doesn't happen now I when I
checked Twitter now it feels like a
pleasant informational humorous
kind of experience doesn't it feels very
different now but here's my question
a hundred percent of my tweets
still instantly get a uh a spam
I think you've all seen it it pretends
to be Elon Musk giving away something
right but it's all fake but it's instant
and it's as soon as I tweet how in the
world can Twitter not stop that
because the content of the Tweet is
always the same
they don't have any way to instantly
look for you know Elon Musk is not
giving away any Bitcoins or whatever the
hell this is
you've never seen it
are you serious it's in every one of my
tweets including today it happens
instantly
let me let me let me do a test
let me do a test I'm going to do a non
like just a nothing tweet
uh testing
how long
before the
spam hits my comments
because I do wonder if anybody's
watching to see if the content of my
tweet is one that they want to connect
to
so I don't know if it's content related
so I'm going to Tweet this
and if it's automatic the the spam will
be there like usually it's the first
first comment
so let's just test it
Let's test that tweet if any of you are
watching it at the same time
all right
um
the first two comments are not spam
so it's possible that there are humans
deciding which ones to attach the spam
to
do you think that's how it works
do you think a human is doing it
because it happened so quickly
it looks like it's automated
if it doesn't if it doesn't pop up in
like a minute then I won't believe it's
automated
and let's see
show more replies of course more
replies on this one than normal of
course
all right well
I don't see it so I just I guess I don't
know if it's automatic
Erica the excellent has already weighed
in on this tweet
and you're right you're correct Erica
all right
um
is there any stories I missed that don't
involve
Mass tragedies
affected what about Kanye's tweet about
asking Trump to be his running mate oh
did he do that
well
oh Alex Berenson and Tom Elliott are in
a Twitter argument on weed
so Berenson was sort of anti-weed right
so there's one
um
statistic that I follow for weed is life
expectancy
the the only study I've seen
comparing uh you know frequent weed
users with the rest of the public
showed that their life expectancy was
greater than the regular public
now I don't trust studies so I'd have to
see more but what I don't trust is the
ones that say uh this looks like wheat
is even worse for your lungs than
whatever
because it feels like
all those things are suggestive of a
problem that doesn't show up in total
mortality and Attila shows up in total
mortality
have you ever heard of anybody dying of
a weed related problem
have you ever heard you didn't smoke
cigarettes but he died of lung cancer
I've never heard of it
I mean maybe it happens
uh Ali is still suspended Ali Alexander
is still expended somebody says
yeah he's going to be he's going to be
an edge case too
oh I forgot my best joke
can you mentally go back with me in time
I've got to rewind all right
this will be worth it watch this it'll
be just like this it hadn't already
happened and you hadn't already watched
it
so Tim Poole has a new uh mascot uh
Chang uh oyer or uyghur I don't know how
to pronounce his last name
um and you may know Jenkins the poor
man's Alex Jones
okay that's all I wanted to do
now now back back where we were
he's the poor man's Alex Jones
come on that's pretty good
um by the way this is one of my favorite
jokes or a joke is structures
I love the joke structure when you say
somebody is the poor man's somebody else
because you can do it for almost anybody
you'd find somebody who just swear
reminds you of them and is you know
worse or better in some way and then you
say they're the poor man it's always
funny
um
somebody says I'm the poor man's Jordan
Peterson see
that's perfect that and that works yeah
calling me the poor man's Jordan
Peterson is perfect
yeah that is the exact
that that's how you do that
well executed well executed
now I try to be consistent on the
following point
if somebody criticizes me or insults me
in a way that's legitimately funny
I'm just going to go with the joke
I'll just ignore the criticism yeah
because usually it's about the joke not
the criticism and I'll just appreciate
it I appreciate a good joke at my
expense if it's well
well-formed and you know you're going
for the laugh that's fine
um
yay tweeted to use that bar Lago
yeah do you think that uh
do you think that anything can redeem
Kanye
when he does the you know I'm Jewish
stuff
um here's how he could redeem himself
Kanye could just deny and say you know
all that uh I'm more Jewish than the
Jewish people
you know I did some more research and I
found out that uh you know that wasn't
all it was cracked up to be you know
that the research didn't pan out and
then just say
I did more work and now I changed my
mind
could he do that
if you saw Kanye say you know
everybody criticized me I looked into it
and I gotta say
that was just a mistake
I believe he could pull that off
he could pull though because you know
what you know what America really
forgives
well what is it that America is really
forgiving for
we we forgive honest mistakes
when somebody owns it
right if you own your mistake
people
are way okay with you right and I always
thought that was part of Trump's magic
if Trump had said
um elect to be president yea is the poor
man's Kanye that's pretty good uh part
of Trump's Magic
is that he never told he he was a High
character person
and so when things you know the
accusations came out that would go to
his character you would say ah oh yeah
you did tell us that I guess that was
pretty transparent
he actually said running for president
I'm No Angel
I'm No Angel
that is the clear statement you could
ever get that if you dig around you're
going to find some stuff you don't like
but that's not what I'm proposing as
president
as president I'm proposing to do these
things for you I'm not proposing to date
you
right
I'm not I'm not proposing to
sexually harass you so you could care
about it but that's not my proposition
so I'll give you that that's you got
some things in my closet there you're
not gonna like
yeah
um so I think
that yay is a a sympathetic character
meaning that people are primed to want
to like it
would you agree
I think people are primed to want to
like him
so all you have to do is just give us a
path
but he made it impossible
because what am I going to say
oh I agree with the guy saying
anti-semitic things like it just cuts me
off
like I'm not going to go there
so he has to fix that but I want him to
I would like him to fix it like us all
to learn something from it
yay literally and then move on I'd be
fine with that you know I don't think
yay has ever told told us he's complete
has he
has yeah ever said you know
I've got my completely together
you know why don't you be more like me
quite the opposite quite the opposite he
is all he has always told you he's a
that he's basically a mess
who happens to be an artistic genius
both true
he's an artistic genius maybe a business
genius until recently and and he's also
a mess but he's transparent about it you
know mental problems and all
um
Ice Cube passed up 9 million because of
the jab and so he lost some work because
is that what you're saying
yeah he
he's still interesting though
all right
um
anybody watching the World Cup
I guess
Lionel Messi his team lost to Saudi
Arabia
wow
that was a shocker if you don't follow
soccer you don't realize what a you know
World bending shocker that was
now here's a little tip for you
if you don't like watching soccer and
that would be common of a number of
Americans
spend five minutes looking for highlight
reels of Lionel Messi scoring goals
and
it's not like watching soccer
right soccer is a lot of people trying
stuff that doesn't work
oh I tried that pass but somebody got it
oh I tried to get past that guy but he
stopped me it's like a whole bunch of
people who aren't quite good enough to
play soccer playing soccer it looks like
and then Lionel Messi
we'll just dribble through like 13 of
them in a row and then score this
ridiculous goal into the corner and you
watch that and you say I don't know what
I even saw like I don't even know how
any that's possible and you also have to
remember that Messi was told he was too
small to play professional soccer
because he's small
and he's the best player in the world
so you know I guess maybe I root for him
