Episode 2355 CWSA 01/16/24

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time and today we've got the Iowa results and all kinds of stuff you're going to love it you're G to love it and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only Iowa could understand all you for that is a copper marar glass a tankered Chalin a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go that's so good so good what while you still have your beverage would you join me in a toast to V ramaswami for in my opinion the best campaign ever anybody ever read uh honestly the best campaign I've ever seen he was Flawless he was Flawless in battle and he was Flawless in defeat and he appears to be so far Flawless in his after defeat although is it a defeat is it a defeat or is it a step up to 2028 anyway uh thanks for the great work the uh contribution to the thought the uh just showing us how it can be done just showing the the right way to do everything really so to you vake sincerely appreciate it but you know there was a another winner last night we're going to talk about it but first while while you're all pouring in here to watch this exciting live live stream and of course we're mostly going to be talking about Iowa and what's going on there but I thought I'd give you a little pallet cleanser how would you like to find a way to destroy the world economic forum and the Davos meeting do you think I can do it you ready all right here's a little news story it's all you need to know to destroy the world economic Forum um this is reported on X by Mario nul who says uh that this year's wef meeting at Davos appears to be heading in the usual direction of a drug fueled Bunga Bunga sex party local escort service website officially announced all local service providers are completely booked during the wef week and sometimes in both holes they didn't say that but it feels like they should have um the wef's 2024 theme is quote rebuilding trust all right how would you like to end the WF here here's how you do it a lot of you guys have spouses uh have your spouses uh ever heard of a description of your business meeting if your spouse is going to an international business meeting which can be accurately described as a quote drug fueled Bunga Bunga sex party maybe you're not going next year Jamie Diamond maybe you're not going next year I'm not wrong that's all it would take to end the WF all you have to do is tell their spouses what's going on because even if the you know their their particular spouse they're pretty sure they're not involved do you still want to have to explain why your husband's over there so where's your husband he uh he's he's on a trip really a trip say that's sounds interesting where's he going he he just overseas a little bit no what' you say over overse what's the name of the place he's going to what I can't hear you Davos Davos where have I heard that before isn't that where the world economic Forum goes to have their drug fueled bonga bonga parties yes but your husband's not involved in any of that right I don't think so so if you want to take care of that there's your path well as you know Trump had a solid victory in the Iowa caucuses and uh broke some records he got uh 51% rounding off it's the highest in the history of the Iowa Republican caucus excluding the non-comp itive years the non-competitive years when he's not running against anybody in his own party Trump got 51% he won every County in Iowa so that's not bad how'd you do I was all right I won every County in Iowa every County now do you think this scared the uh people in MSNBC and CNN little bit we'll talk about that yeah so let's see uh what else happened so Dan santis got 21 I'm rounding off everything here D santis 21% Haley 19 and V eight so v um has conceded and he uh he says he did not achieve his stated goal of surprising on the upside in fact it was as if he had not even campaigned honestly so the bad news is that doing an amazing campaign doesn't make any difference in Iowa I mean no difference at all apparently they' made up their minds so yeah it doesn't doesn't matter the quality of your campaign as MSNBC has pointed out uh and I will point out as well it's kind of interesting that the iio results were in the exact order of whiteness now I'm not going to say that's why the Iowans picked who they did because there are lots of variables here but it did come out in the exact order of how white they are if you know what I mean so I'm not sure that race isn't any part of this you know if we're going to be honest there was probably a racial Dimension and I think a lot of people believed uh this is what I heard a lot of people believe that uh V was a Muslim no I i' never even heard that but you know the people get confused with Hindu and Muslim and you know not everybody's fully versed in in world religions so I think that worried him I I think they were worried that you know maybe he wasn't as Christian as they are um and I think that I think that might have been a small part of the uh the equation unfortunately but um but I think even more a bigger part of the equation is they just love Trump can we agree on that I don't think it was a rejection of dtis it was not a rejection of Haley and it was not a rejection of aake it's just they really really really like Trump they really like him a lot and they want the revenge and they want their safety and they want their fighter who's going to put it all on the line so I do not I do not begrudge them their choice whatsoever I think the f people of Iowa um chose well good job Iowa good job Iowa uh they have however found a way to throw a match on the biggest pile of gasoline we've ever seen in our lifetimes so things are going to get real interesting but I'm here for it well so f f says he's suspending his campaign is that the same thing as ending a campaign is suspending a campaign just simply what people always say you know just in case uh there might be some legal technicalities to why you say it that way but I don't think we can ignore that the election is a long way away and Trump has a whole bunch of risks so I do think that the reason that De.

Santis and Nikki Haley are still in the race is because they'd like to just hang around a little bit longer to be the backup mergency spare now V by immediately um ending his campaign by the way was that the perfect time to end it can you agree with me that the way V played it was perfect it was perfect it was the exact situation it was the exact time to do it waiting would have been a bad look very bad look do it right away do it decisively do it clearly and cleanly uh tell you know say what you're going to do which he did he's going to he's going to help uh Trump and perfect I I could not be happier uh sharing sharing a country with vake with with that kind of performance but uh here's the thing that I don't think anybody has quite figured out yet do you think the Democrats have figured out that they just weaponize vake V talking on behalf of V is pretty powerful stuff do you know what they just did they just combined the two strongest forces possibly in the history of the Republican Party the strongest force of nature with the smartest politician we've ever seen and they're on the same side completely did they see that coming I don't think people see this coming I I I think the what the thing that V can add is he'll go on the show that won't invite Trump you see the danger here because the CNN's in the msnbc's are could to be hungry for Content but they can't really invite Trump and they don't like to you know they don't like to bring his lying pundits on because they don't like lying pundits according to them you know what they determin to be a lie but you know what V doesn't do he doesn't lie V has found a way to tell the Republican narrative without the need for any lies because there was never a need for any lies it was it was never necessary he was just the one smart enough to figure out it wasn't necessary to lie you could you could do the whole story with any lies right the hyperbole you know certainly helps when you're persuading but you don't need it it was wasn't essential he showed you that so this allows a way for the Trump type message which I I would argue I I'm going to agree with Trump it's not his message he's he's basically trying to capture you know the American core feeling and you know and try to uh expand it I guess but you put vake on MSNBC that's going to be fun stuff and I don't think they cannot invite him because they can't say he's lying am I right have you ever heard them say that has NS NBC or CNN ever accused him of lying they have not and now they've established that the reason for not letting Trump on we'll talk about that in a minute is that they they don't want to show his lies what are you going to say about the yeah they got a lot ofir time to fill I think the's going to be busy in my view the only cure for Trump is a vake he's the only cure for TDS because he can give it to you the way that won't make you flip out when you hear it this really changes everything this changes everything and I don't know that the that the Democrats see what's coming yet cuz I don't think it I don't think anybody in the Democrat Party has really followed V I mean a lot of Republicans didn't which is part of the problem they have no idea what's coming and this is going to be fun all right uh and how did Trump take it when VI gracefully uh conceited he immediately truthed back uh thank you vake a great honor did anybody did anybody have any concern that they wouldn't be good friends when this was over I mean at least in terms of being on the same side no do you know why because that's what they are Trump is a fighter and then when you join his side you're done fighting that's it there's no grudge now you're done fighting now we move on and they're both that person now they're done fighting so good for them that's that's how to show it uh Adam townend who was backing v um had this comment today he said uh if you didn't learn something about yourself from watching V these past few weeks I don't know what to tell you yeah uh and then he says something I learned that there's a whole new level to engaging uh people with strongly differing viewpoints V showed you that it is actually possible to talk to people with wildly different viewpoints and as small as that sounds it's every everything it's everything it's it's the part that was missing and it's because the news has made it almost impossible to just tell the truth and get away with it but he he showed you how to do it it's just this is just really the even losing is one of the best thing that's happened to America it's it's kind of a weird irony all right let's talk about Nikki Hy so she uh she came in uh third place and a little bit after De.

Santis and then so her summary is tonight Iowa made the Republican primary a two-person race hold on so this is Trump um De.

Santis there's got the Nikki Haley was so I don't know you know what who could help her with the math V yeah v he's pretty good at math he could help her with that yeah no uh uh you you f you came in third you came in third all right but kidding aside joking aside her point if I if I understand it correctly uh let's see if I understand her point would be that De.

Santis is too much of a trump light so disantis and Trump you could almost think of as like one person so she's the alternative and now she's you know strong second which is not a bad point I mean maybe she could set it set it better but uh I I see Mike cernovich who had been backing disantis early but then switched to the who's wondering why De.

Santis has not announced but in desantis's favor I don't know that you could finish second and drop out can you in a four-person race because you know where do where do V's votes go I guess you wait till you find now right I mean if he picked up something from V maybe gets a little closer in New Hampshire maybe maybe Nikki H is going to take New Hampshire and then that makes D Santa seem a little less relevant but I agree with uh I agree with Mike covich that why De.

Santis hangs on needs to be explained because it looks suspicious right right now there could be a legitimate reason that he's just staying around to make sure that there's a backup plan he thinks he's the backup plan America would be better off if there is a backup plan because I think we can all just say it directly there has to be a backup plan right we we could just say that out loud now right there has to be a backup plan because the the Democrats have made it very clear that the level of a threat they're putting on candidate Trump is something we've never seen before before this won't be like other things so yeah and and having V inside the uh Trump tent uh who I call the sword of truth I'm hoping that catches on V ramaswami the sword of truth uh I don't want you I don't think I don't think the Democrats want to have a strong De.

Santis a strong V uh just waiting around you know for the word in case it comes the Scimitar of Truth damn you that's better sorry we're we're doing we're redoing it it's now the Scimitar of Truth although that is is Scimitar more of a Arabian word yeah citar maybe we go back to sword we we'll American we'll americanize it yeah we better we'll go back to sword sword of truth although to be fair is simp SAR is an excellent word just doesn't fit here all right um anyway Nikki Hy saying that uh her third place finish makes it a two race probably works for young people because they can't do math either so she's got that working for um Glenn Greenwald says this H the massive in historic size of Trump's Victory should lead to some self-reflection about what caused the complete collapse of faith in the legitimacy of us institutions of authority and Justice whereby voters so easily disregard four felony cases as irrelevant if not an asset well Glenn uh so I almost always agree with Glenn greenwald's takes but not this time Glenn there isn't going to be any self-reflection where have you been now I I know it's more of a hopeful thing he's not he's not predicting there'll be self-reflection which would be crazy you more it was more of a gosh I hope hope we get some but we're not going to get any self-reflection because the problem was never uh that the data or the arguments were wrong it was never that this is a medical problem you can't you can't fix a medical problem by self-reflection oh I've got some cancer but a little self-reflection ought to take care of it no it's a wrong tool self-reflection will not help you with TDS this is full-blown Mass hysteria a mass hysteria is a mental health problem like really you know no hyperbole it's a mental health emergency I would say and you can't fix it with better data better data doesn't doesn't help doesn't help anybody Health you'd have to literally deprogram and the funny thing is that the people who are most worried don't realize that they are the problem they're actually the ones creating the mental health problem but they don't know it that they think that they're victims of something and not the perpetrators so if you can't tell the difference between the victim and the perpetrator is very unlikely that you're going to be working on some kind of a solution now how crazy are things well let me tell you how crazy things are so crazy in the full out Massy areia The Joy Reed msnbc's you know one of her one of the biggest anti-trumpers uh is literally wearing a trump a trump uh wig to say that Trump is a bad person right she's literally dressing like him now I was thinking I would like to get one of these Trump wigs so that every time Trump wins another primary you could wear it the next day like the next morning I'll just be wearing my trump wig to talk about you know New Hampshire I'm not wrong you tell me that's a coincidence you tell me that that's a coincidence that is not a coincidence now did she plan it no did whoever did her hair were they thinking I'm going to make you look like Trump no no but it's not a coincidence right that this is a picture of the sort of uh the mass hysteria going physical this is somebody who's so Trump is so in her head that he's on her head God I like that so much I'm going to say it twice pretend you didn't see it the first time get ready Trump is so far in her head that he's on her head wasn't that better the second time much better the second time all right well that's happening so Glenn uh you're a superstar Glenn Greenwald but uh no I wouldn't be waiting for the self-reflection to handle it all right well um CNN and MSNBC if you didn't watch the coverage from either of those networks you miss the best show you miss the best show because watching the TDS coverage of trump destroying the uh the field in Iowa it was really fun because I do watch it like it's a a mental health show like it's just people just acting out with suffering I don't really see it as news or anything even in that sort of General category is pure entertainment watching people suffering who kind of deserve it um because God do they deserve it all right so what happened was MSNBC last night when Trump got on to do his victory speech they decided to uh not show it and Rachel mad M said uh that uh she explained why NBC and other mainstream networks are not to show it uh because um they say the caucus goers believe the lies but you know they don't want to they don't want to be basically playing his lies that's right the news is going to decide that there was this one candidate who lies uh let me let me check the record um let's see the political record of every candidate in the history of the United States looking let's see uh AI can you tell me I'm doing my research doing my research huh well there's an awkward problem here it turns out that 100% of all candidates lied except for vake who's an of the race so so how do we handle that so I guess MSNBC has gone to the ultimate level of censoring they're going to tell you who's lying and then not let you see them and they call that the news how does MSNBC survive the uh the political season because they've gone so far into the ridiculous I mean they're just a farce at this point it's just ridiculous I I feel like in the past they did a good job of pretending they were like news when they clearly weren't but now they they stop pretending they're just going to give up on all the pretending and they're just going to say we can't talk to you about the other side because we don't want you to know what they're thinking but and again this is the problem that vake might slice through because he can he can break through that all right uh Jake Tapper said uh that they would talk over Trump because uh as he said you could hear him uh repeating his anti-immigrant rhetoric his anti-immigrant rhetor anti-immigrant H I wonder where else we say things are you know like anti when when do you say you're Pro something and when do you say you're anti something because I I thought Trump was pro- Law and Order pro-american legal citizens I didn't realize he was anti something oh he's against something that's a funny way to say it so he's really really for American and the way you'd say that is he's anti-immigrant I don't believe that he's ever called himself anti-immigrant I believe he's anti- crime I believe he's anti- unenforced borders I believe he's anti chaos at the border with enormous terrorism risks and Jake Tapper who is anything but a real newsers says that's anti-immigrant well I also don't like the way you talks about immigrants so I would agree with him that his choice of words not optimal and that's something V can get right but uh no he's not anti-immigrant to say he's anti-immigrant is just crazy ship all right um of course there'll be lots of discussions about whether 2020 was a stolen election that will never go away um but um Laura lumer is reporting that uh uh CNN said that ahead of the uh Iowa cauas there was Iowa caucus there was a poll do you think Biden legitimately won in 2020 and CNN was forced to report on CNN's OWN Network that when ped Ian said by a majority of 68% no 68% have been watching their coverage for five years and just said nope 68% now that's just in Iowa and that's probably just the Republicans because it's the Iowa caucus so I mean that's high for uh anything but uh not as high if you consider that it's Republicans going to a caucus all right um but here's my recommendation um I believe it is not the high ground and you need The High Ground it is not The High Ground to say the 2020 election was stolen that's not The High Ground here's The High Ground uh we have a system that is designed so you can't tell that's The High Ground if you want to sound crazy say you know it was fixed and you can't prove it well then you look like crazy doesn't mean you're wrong doesn't mean you're wrong but you would look crazy if you claim with certainty that it was rigged and then somebody says all right show your evidence you go ah ah but some things are Brewing right so it doesn't really work as an argument except on your own side basically but here's the argument that can work it's designed designed by intention so that you can't tell if it was riged or not now that's the argument you want to get the other side into that it's designed so you can't tell who won do you want some evidence of that now you're saying to me but Scott you're getting yourself right back into another situation where you don't have any evidence for your claim don't I don't I well let's see if there's any uh recent news um yes uh was it uh Virginia just found that there were thousands and thousands of votes that were not counted now it turns out that if they had been counted it would have been good for Trump no it would have been good for Biden Trump actually got overcounted that there were actually in Virginia there were like 4,000 too many votes for Trump now it's 2024 and we just learned that the account in Virginia was off by thousands of votes so the very least we could say for sure is that you can't tell if your result is accurate within thousands of votes for five years that's a fact right they could not tell in Virginia if they had an accurate count for 5 years and then when they found out found out they didn't now 8,000 votes wasn't much you know the the margin was like 450,000 votes but the point is about the system the point is not any specific outcome the point is if you believe that anybody could look at our election and know it was it was safe that's not a thing there is no there's nothing built into the system that is a safeguard to tell you that you'd even count counted all the votes just think about this there's nothing about the system that tells you when you're done counting that you have counted all the votes just think about that that problem the the most basic thing did you count all the votes we don't have a mechanism to know that yeah or or did you undercount the votes or did you count them wrong we have no mechanism to know any of that so to imagine that the real question is that a a certain election was rigged you're in the weeds you're in the weeds and there's no place to go except talking to your own side which is good but it's not going to convince the others if you want to convince the other team you say you realize that we're still finding votes five years later which proves they didn't know that they were lost when the election was certified which proves we don't have a system that can even tell you if we got all the votes and counted them that's pretty basic pretty basic do you think that the people who do all paper ballots don't have a way to know that all the pieces of paper that were put in the Box were counted yeah they do there's somebody who watches it you put it in the box and then there's a bunch of people who watch you count it more than once yes in other places they absolutely know that every person who came in with a piece of paper that was a vote was actually counted but we can't we don't have that system all right um and of course Joe Biden came out with his divisive Mega extremist statement so Biden said looks like Donald Trump uh just won Iowa he's a clear front runner blah blah but here's the thing this election was always going to be uh you and me versus the extreme magga Republicans can you tell us who the extreme Maga Republicans are Joe Biden I think the news needs to ask him for names because if you can't name them you're talking about the voters are you not if he's talking about Steven Miller being too close to Trump say it say his name and then we will decide if that's a reasonable statement you know do we think uh you know this this person or that person is too extreme well honestly I thought Steven Miller was a little bit extreme in 2016 he's not extreme now he's definitely not extreme now because his his his immigration policies are the exact ones we need which are to completely reverse all the way back to where it was when Trump was first in office so can you name the extremists and then if you can name the extremists can you name the extreme policy was the extreme policy the one that uh treated our borders like every other country that is our Ally well I guess they're not doing so well in Europe but you know you know the point it is the extremist just securing your border is that it is is it uh moving is it that the Supreme Court moves the abortion question closer to the people into the states is that the extremism letting the people have more say locally what exactly was the extremism is it they don't like his tax policies is that extreme you somebody needs to nail down the people saying that they're magga extremists and say can you be more specific either give us their names or if what you're saying is it's like all the people in the movement just say it say what you mean tell us the truth for once all right um in my in my view that might be one of the worst messages I've ever heard in the history of the Republic because there are not many examples where the leader of your country stands in front of you and says the problem with our country is this group of you do you know who does that China and the Wagers right so basically Joe Biden is trying to treat the magga people like the Wagers and that's okay yeah yeah I don't want to use the HW because it's too overused so I'll go with China and the Wagers just for now yeah basically wants to treat them like a some kind of Despicable minority well one thing that is clear let me give you the theme for the coming months Democrats will continue to look at people and Republicans will continue to look at policy and every time you see it remind yourself that it's happening because only one of them is legitimate if you're talking about policy you're in the right conversation even if your policy is wrong but if you're saying the real problem is Extreme Mega Republicans what did you say about the policy it's about the people you're basically saying hate these people I've never seen anybody promote hate of of the population when you're trying to be the leader of it except Hiller of course and of course China with the Wagers so I think we should just call Joe Biden a racist every time he says something about Maggie extremists and anything about Dei and anything about ESG CRT and all those other racist things I I think Biden just has to be called it racist because to to imagine it's anything else is just crazy I mean you might be a brainwashed uh blackmailed racist but still the same effect all right uh here's a little Hunter Biden update just for fun remember where Hunter was going to have an art gallery but don't worry that he's laundering any money or selling favors because he won't even know who bought the art and there'll be like a a wall between the art gallery and any politics well none of that was true the the art gallery guy says that Hunter would routinely ask him the names of the buyers and you tell them and that Hunter is the only person who made art who asked for the names of the buyers the regular artists that this Gallery handles sell the artist work but they don't tell them the name of the buyer because that would be sort of a privacy issue now is there anything to worry about about the buyers oh yeah the buyers are exactly who you thought they would be they are in fact big Democrat donors and people who want uh Democrat favors and got them it's exactly what it looked like and it gets better the art gallery guy has talked to president President Biden not Hunter President Biden twice once in the White House at some event he chatted with the president and once President Biden called The Art Gallery guy uh personally to say some congratulations or something that his daughter did so no Joe Biden did not say to the art gallery guy hey good work uh helping my son launder money but when the president of the United States calls you at work that has an that has an impact that has an effect yeah so it was exactly it's exactly what you thought it was the art gallery was exactly what the only question I have is whether Hunter is actually making the paintings now I have I have conflicting evidence of that uh one is I've never seen in paint except the one where he was like blowing something through a straw where normally he's you snorting it a straw and so anybody could you know blow through a straw so that wasn't really an example of art I want to see him actually make one of those paintings that are impressive because the artwork is actually very good I want to see him make one of those but I have heard through indirect means that he actually does stand in front of an easel and does actually paint so maybe I'm wrong which would be fun I I would love to know that Hunter Biden was a world class artist I would love to know that that that would be just fun I'd be completely supportive of his Artistic Endeavors although the money laundering is still obviously an issue but I don't know if he makes these paintings or not I'm just kind of curious one way or the other all right um um CBS news says according to our entrance poll most Iowa GOP caucus goers I love that word you don't see it much you don't get to use that the rest of the year I'm going to say caucus goer as often as possible today hey you caucus goers or you caucus Growers all right but anyway according to CB CBS News um there six in 10 people uh who were Iowa caucus goers the GOP types 6 and 10 said they would vote for Trump even if he's convicted of a crime what do the anti Trump people say when they say when they find out that 6 out of 10 Republicans will vote for him even if he's convicted of a crime it's a cult it's a personality cult they must not read the news they don't know the facts right is there any hypothesis that CBS News and the others are leaving out could there be any other explanation for why why why would so many Republicans be willing to ignore an actual felony conviction I can't think of anything can you think of anything oh wait I've got something I just thought of it and I posted this back to to CBS I said that um maybe it's because most Iowa GOP caucus goers know the Democrat driven lawfare against Trump is and so they plan to shove that down the throats of the media liars and watch them choke and die on it that maybe maybe possible am I am I anywhere near the ZIP code am I getting close yeah no yes no that's what it is in case you're confused CBS let me say it again maybe like every one of the other Republicans they think the lawfare is they think it's media driven and they want to shove it down your throats and watch you choke on it that's what I want that's what I want I want to watch Trump shove it down their throats and watch them choke on it no real violence you know in case you're confused no no real violence hyp we're talking in the figurative sense sh shove the down their throats so that's the game I'm in that's the game I'll be playing they shove it down their throats game um let's see how many ways do you think the uh pro Democrat news will find to describe dementia without calling it dementia well here's the latest entry from AOS who is as you know not really a legitimate new source more like a Democrat you know organ at this point um they report in a post lots of highlevel Democrats are warning that President Biden and his re-election team are too complacent and unimaginative about the threat of losing to Donald Trump huh they're complacent and they're unimaginative what would be another word for that let's say you're really old you're the president you're very very old your brain's not working like it used to and indeed you can see little differences and maybe you're not as vigorous and uh active you know maybe you're a little more complacent and what if your brain isn't so good anymore that it could think of you know new and original ways to do things what what would that be called Al the unimaginative unimag what kind of a brain would be complacent and unimaginative well I can't think of a thing dementia Hiller uh we've got a new uh standard for uh disinformation or we should the WF was talking about the the big old risk of disinformation in the every the the news is telling us about the risk of disinformation and lots of important people are telling us about the the risk of disinformation I have a a standard which I would like to um promote a standard for what is disinformation and what is not you ready you're going to like it because if we just say hey I think this is true what does the other side say no it's not and then the other side says but this is true and then what does the other side say no it's not so that's our current system how's that working out for everybody no it's not it's not working out at all so I propose the following standard misinformation and disinformation I I'll put them together the Mis disinformation is defined as any point of view which will not tolerate somebody sitting next to you debating it politely let that sink in misinformation is any information uh that is presented without the Counterpoint and I mean a legitimate Counterpoint a polite person who's not talking over you who's simply sitting there and presenting the other side and of course you would have you would have the chance to speak back it's always disinformation if you're seeing one side so when the wef officials I just saw a video were up there complain about disinformation they were disinformation because there should have been somebody sitting right next to them saying it's not disinformation it's a different opinion you just think it's wrong now if that person had been sitting there showing the Counterpoint I would say well there's some information for me there there's a person who has this point of view there's another person who has another point of view I can compare them that's called information what's it called if only one of them is on the stage disinformation every time it might be true sometimes but that would be like a weird situation no one person talking without the benefit of a Counterpoint is disinformation by definition right because everybody's lying in politics except for vake right if it's not vake or you know Thomas Massie you know maybe you can add you know Paul you know Rand Paul and a few others but basically if it's if it's somebody in the news or a pundit or somebody running for office usually usually it's not true in some way so I would use the same standard whether it's a Republican or a Democrat if it's one person talking of course it's disinformation now if it's one person giving a campaign speech we all kind of put that in cont context don't we aren't we all grown up enough to know one politician giving a speech is not supposed to look like complete truth I think we all know that right you have to hear the other side but when somebody's let's say in a news capacity let's say you're Joy read and you're just giving one side of things that's disinformation by its nature you don't even need to know the details of what she said if she's giving one point of view and they're exists a Counterpoint or a context that's missing that's all you need to know yeah it's just information if there's only one person talking what do you think that should be your standard that this whole thing about one person talking might be true and might be false that's absurd in politics one person talking is just every time right now like I said you could point out you know some weird exceptions but there's a reason reason that a came in fourth if he lied better he probably would have done a lot better imagine if a had lied he probably could have done a lot better yeah but he just wasn't willing to go there all right um NPR uh NPR was according to fiser King 64 uh NPR is talking today about the path forward for Nikki Hy NPR is still talking about Nikki getting in there the path forward is that something terrible happens to Trump you can can we stop talking about the path forward because I'm pretty sure it's a path backwards if you know what I mean she might have a path backwards into the presidency but it's only if something terrible happens to the leading candidate so no NPR we don't treat you as a legitimate news source speaking of illegitimate things are you following the story of one of Trump's um was she uh District attornies uh fonnie you know fonnie f n n funny what's her last name I forgot to write it down Willis funny Willis so it turns out she was having an affair with the prosecutor who was handling the Trump prosecution Now by itself H that bother me too much honestly I didn't really want to make a thing about that because people have affairs people who go to work in an office sometimes they hook up and I thought well that doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with this process however yeah which one of them was married was it the guy who was married or was he he was yeah he got divorced just recently but but um yeah allegedly right allegedly allegedly had a fair um so but here's the part that'll get under your skin I think it turns out that the boyfriend she gave the job to is nowhere near qualified for the job he he had never been involved in anything like this at this scale and for some reason that we don't understand it was necessary for him to spend like two days at the White House talking the Democrats and billing for it so it doesn't look like he's legitimate it looks like she was giving her boyfriend some free money uh which makes her look like she is uh corrupt now separate from the question of whether she's corrupt when it comes to charging Trump she's clearly corrupt because she's doing this thing with her boyfriend and sending him money now you could say to yourself but Scott we don't know that there's any corruption we just know it's a boyfriend he's not quite capable and she's sending him a lot of money through allowing him this possibility this uh this uh opportunity yeah we don't know we don't no no but in these situations the appearance of impropriety is the same as the impropriety would you agree they for all practical purposes is um the the appearance of impropriety is a is a you got to recuse yourself situation so yeah yeah uh they went on vacations together yeah so everything about it is uh corrupt sounding and sketchy I don't know that any of it was illegal I don't know that anybody's um alleging that but yeah there's a lack of transparency see here there's something very much to be concerned about and it's as sketchy as hell and what is her response to being caught red-handed in this sketchy situation well it's probably racism she says probably racism surprise um and according to rasmuson 50% of those they pulled believe uh the allegations against uh funny the district attorney um they believe the allegations basically and they they think that she had an improper relationship again that's not illegal but ethically it's a bottom of the barrel so the most unethical unethical DA got busted for that anyway all right let's talk about uh bill akman as you know bill akman was successful in getting the uh president of Harvard to step down and you know he's anti- Dei now so he's uh always voted Democrat but he was very anti- Dei when he found out what that was all about in Harvard so now he's educated about that and he says that uh if you haven't figured it out already it is now abundantly clear that Trump is going to crush Biden in the election now that does seem abundantly clear if Trump makes it all the way to election day I don't think it's abundantly clear that he's going to make it to election day you know we could just say that out loud now because I do think the bad guys are that bad I don't know it'll happen I'm not predicting it'll happen but they are that bad yeah we're we do live in that world and we need to grow up a little bit but Bill Amman decides he's going to back uh the Challenger or I guess the main Challenger you could say to uh to Biden uh which is Dean Phillips uh however it is an awkward discovery that Dean Phillips has on his website a pro Dei statement so the anti- Dei guy is decided to back the pro Dei guy for president now people of course pointed that out hey um hey Bill Amman we like what you did there in Harvard but um do you know you're backing a pro Dei candidate what does Bill akman say who is no quitter by the way he's not a quitter he says uh that Phillips didn't understand Dei and that he expects that statement will be changed soon because they're educating him about what Dei really is so no problem yeah once he corrects that little imperfection then uh he'll have a a good package to take forward right because that's that's kind of a small thing isn't it little small thing no bill Amman it's not a small thing that he was a racist this week he's a racist this week I'm not gonna vote for him next week because he because he edited his his web page no bill you got to give up on this one um and by the way I love Bill akman like huge fan I'm sure it's not reciprocal so I'm not depending on him liking me for him for me to like what he's done I like what he's done period he's a he's a patriot he's he's a plus in terms of the stuff he's done here I don't know what else he's done in his life but uh everything I saw him do I liked a lot but this is my friendly advice you can't back a guy who had a Dei statement on his he's just a racist or he's a racist enabler or worse he didn't understand the the biggest issue in the country and he's running for president this is the biggest issue this is the biggest issue yeah if you think and and it because this issue permeates all the other issues it's why you're afraid to fly it's why the cities are full of immigrants it's why you know uh property crime is high it's why our budget is breaking it's it's Dei and Dean Phillips didn't know that the core problem in the United States was a problem no that's not a small problem to correct that is game over you're done if you ever had that on your website you're done so I know I do love that bill akman is a fighter so he'll probably stay with it but my my advice is to just uh cut your losses I don't know what he needs to do instead because I mean he's not going to back a republican it looks like but you just can't back the guy who had a Dei statement you just can't do that that there's no place to work with that so that was a hell of a bad start um and now if Bill Amman would like to uh you know stick with Dean Phillips I have some further questions for him to ask Hey Dean Phillips tell us your view on climate change right what what do you think Bill amman's going to say when he hears this guy's view on climate change I don't know what it is but he's a Democrat so you do you think Bill Amman believes the CL the climate change alarmist and wants to get rid of fossil fuels as quickly as possible there's no way the amman's going to hear the actual arguments pro and con and back the Democrat side because we've seen him in action he's too smart for that now keep in mind the acman also didn't realize that Dei was a talk xic Time Bomb right so as smart as he is which is super smart that was a little blind spot does he believe that was his one blind spot because I don't think so I think he needs to know that climate change is another blind spot even if it's a real problem separate from the conversation of what's real and what's not the way it's the way it's presented and the solutions that are presented get rid of fossil fuel right away these are not serious people and I can't believe that a smart person once hearing all arguments would still back somebody who was on that side of it it's hard to believe all right um How about if he uh ask Dean Phillips what he thinks about all the problem with the white supremacists ask Dean Phillips if he thinks there's a mega extremist problem and give us their names just like Biden see I think Bill Amman needs to if he's going to be this influential and he seems to be very influential I feel like he owes it to the rest of us to dig in a little bit deeper just just dig in a little like you did with Dei so you know I give I give acman a full pass for correction right so my my standard for judging people I say this all the time it's not that you got one wrong that's not the problem getting one wrong is just normal we all get stuff wrong but how do you deal with it how how do you deal with being wrong you know how how did vake deal with uh not getting his prediction right in Iowa honestly quickly clearly and with humility that's how you do it all right so yeah Dean Phillips has a lot to explain um Vanguard the company the big company that has lots of uh index funds just an enormous Financial entity uh we hear today from the end wokeness account on X uh that first of all they control7 trillion doll in assets 7 trillion do they control in assets and their new class of interns has uh almost no white people in it and the employees are given courses on white fragility and engaging white males to advance Dei and they're also big backers of ESG so for uh for many decades I have uh uh very full-throated endorsed Vanguard funds because what the funds are is they're um they're unmanaged funds an index fund is just like a a basket of of stocks and a basket of stocks is a real good way to invest and they have reasonably low fees so the things you want are an honest company that can tell you don't invest in individual Stocks by this basket of stocks because divers diversification is good that's very good that's why I like Vanguard uh the people who had invested in Vanguard funds from the beginning of the fund would be really happy because their index funds did great that's the whole point so Vanguard is a very credible successful financial institution which I have very happily recommended lots of people for I don't know 30 years I've probably been recommending them at the top of my list for 30 years today I dis reccommend them as a racist organization and I don't believe that they should get any of your money and if you have any money in there and it doesn't cost you too much I would yank it down immediately because I don't think you can support this or you should it it leads to a bad place you don't want to be supportive of racist companies no matter which direction the racism goes so this is just pure racism and um I I get that they're trying to correct years of of U you know years of having too many white people and white men in positions I get that I know what they're trying to fix but don't do it this way th this is this is we can't do business with you if this is who you are so I absolutely dis reccommend Vanguard funds for anybody uh who cares about racism well it turns out that claan gay uh who was the president of Harvard that stepped down um there there are many movie offers multi-million dollar movie offers made about the situation uh Christopher rufo who was one of the primary people besides Bill Atman trying to get her to step down he asked uh who would play him in the movie so Christopher rufo is asking who would play him in the movie and uh an account called uh John Stokes made a suggestion it says my money's on Idris Ela I've been laughing about that all morning all right if you didn't know Idis Elba is a very good black actor who's going to be I I think that they've agreed to play James Bond is that deal been made or is that just something they're talking about I don't know the details but that was the discussion so now let me say again idra ELO is great and he could play a great James Bond I would definitely watch that movie so I don't have any problem with that uh that that's not where I'm gonna that's not the hill I'm going to die on I think a good actor can play you know whatever they want um so the fact he's a great actor should be the the key thing to understand from that but that's pretty funny get ID your s to play Christopher rufo well well in the less good uh story this also comes from n wokeness one of my new favorite accounts um fentanyl seizures at the border I'll give you a little history in 2020 they found uh almost 5 lbs of fenel at the border that they that's just what they found now five pounds of fenel do you know how much that is because like a little Trace can kill you five pounds that can kill a lot of people that was in 2020 in 2021 uh well it's a little more than five pounds in 2021 it was 11,200 lb up from five five would kill a city but uh at least it slowed down so in 2022 oh it didn't slow down it was 14,700 lb of fenel then now again that's only the parts they caught that doesn't count what got through just what they caught all right but thank God Joe Biden's uh talked to China so and Mexico so they could get that number down and I'm happy to report that for the year 2023 the number is oh 27,000 PB it takes 2 and half pounds of fentanyl to kill half a million people uh carry the three x times four that's enough to kill every single person in the United States good job Joe good job there's now enough Fel to kill every human being in the United States you know you know where we should start getting serious when there's enough to kill every pet to because people I don't care about them but if you you know if the pets start getting into it well we've got to draw the line there how in the world how in the world can Trump lose this election if it's a fair election he can't that's why it's not going to be a fair election I don't think there's a chance right who whoever is behind this is who's running the country would you agree who whoever is behind all this fentel comeing in is running the country at least in important ways because if the president were in charge there are lots of ways to stop it I mean well I don't even what else to say about it I mean this is so absurd at this point that I I don't get it anyway so um how about all that news about Ukraine huh you know I hate that I look on social media and I turn on the news and it's just Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine they just can't stop talking about it right now the news kind of stopped to say more news kind of stopped and how about Gaza how about those latest casualty figures from Gaza right uh did the news stop the news stopped right so we got two major Wars and three three three Wars four if you count the Border yeah and the News decided oh you know what's interesting Iowa it's really cold in Iowa how about those UFOs hey look at the UFOs well here's a uh there's now a story that there are leaked German plans for World War II no not causing World War II that I'm going to throw you a like a little uh surprise the news is reporting that Germany is preparing to wait for this fight against World War II yeah they'd actually be on our side this time apparently they'd be on our side so that's good news uh the the worry is that Russia if they wrap things up in Ukraine they feel emboldened by it because they got some property that they would start going after the baltics uh let's see what's there that you got your Estonia your lvia and your Lithuania now Joe Biden probably thinks Lithuania is where we get our lithium so maybe we do but that would be a weird coincidence I don't I don't think we get any lithium from Lithuania but it would be funny if we did anyway uh um so it turns out there are a number of Russian Nationals in Estonia lvia and Lithuania I don't know I feel like we should just let Russia have all the Russians speaking people and just just say can you just take all the Russians will you leave us alone if you have all the Russians because that's making a little too easy for him because I feel like he can win all the Russians but if he tries to take over Poland well now I got a bigger problem because honestly I'm not super concerned about the borders of Lithuania I know I should be um I will say that uh if they if they with Estonia they're going to run into a problem the the the estonians uh well there there's a a friend of mine lives in Estonia and they don't want to piss him off because if they do they're going to piss me off and then I'm all in on Estonia so um don't mess with Estonia you should leave that one alone if pu Putin are you listening Putin I figure he probably watches my show trying to learn English Putin uh I don't know about Lithuania and lva but you better keep your hands off Estonia better keep your head off of that one that that's going to be a different game so that's just a warning for you anyway um as Germany said when these leaked plans came out so the plans involve an assumption that Putin keeps going and keeps conquering stuff and then what what would they do about it um but as the German military quite reasonably and rationally says um we play for everything and that should have been the story so they shouldn't have had to ask the German general hey is this what you plan to do no we plan for everything that's what we do we just make sure we've considered every possibility this is one of the possibilities so we plan for it so I'm not sure that this means they think it's going to happen it just means it would be very smart to have a contingency plan so they're just being smart are you kidding me there is a lithium battery energy storage Park in Lithuania come on come on come on it's that's actually true lith lithium battery storage facility of Lithuania there had to be all right well I think we should trick uh Putin into attacking elbonia because if we can get uh Putin to put all of his resources into elbonia well then they wouldn't exist because elbonia doesn't exist so that's my plan all right ladies and gentlemen there was so much news today I don't think I even saw it all was there any big story I forgot to mention I feel like there's something big I'm forgetting to mention I I did hear on uh MSNBC that the experts are saying they don't necessarily think that any of uh Trump's trials will have an outcome before the election and they're real worried about that because if the outcome is after the election then I suppose he pardons himself or or the country ignores it or something buy a blonde wig everybody wants me to wear a Joy Reed uh wig oh sword of truth sounds like sort of yeah that yeah that's a problem uh comment says Bill Amman is not anti woke he wanted Claudine gay because she's not Jewish says you uh now five of eight Ivy League schools have Jewish presidents and the problem with that is what's your problem with that yeah see the problem is what are we supposed to do tell the uh Jewish population of America to stop over uh like over succeeding what do you want to do about that is anybody claiming they got their job because they're Jewish if you can claim that then we have something to talk about if they didn't get their job because they're Jewish then you don't have anything to talk about it just means that one group of Americans is excelling would you want them not to be in the country would you would you want the Jewish Americans who are qualified enough to be running major ivy league institutions will you want them to go to some other country they're like insanely great assets of the country and you're you're bitching about them doing too well that's like saying V is too smart so there's something suspicious going on I I think we need to let accept exceptionalism from individuals and maybe get over it yeah just get over it individuals can Excel of any any type doesn't matter who they are tuer is uh having having on the uh uh what do you call the surgeon Surgeon General I think of Florida a black gentleman who according to most Republicans his view is that the uh the the vaccines were horribly dangerous so most of you would say he's doing a great job he's a black man who excelled is saying what you want him to say better than the rest according to Republicans probably would say that so why can't people just do well like what's the problem if somebody who doesn't look like you does great why do they propagate so much anti- whiteness well I don't think the Jews are doing it are they you think that well yeah I mean if they are it's because they're College presidents it's not because they're Jewish yeah no I don't think that has to do with Jewish that has everything to do with Democrats if if it's something that's common to every single Democrat and the Democrats are super diverse how how are you picking one group out you you I think you have some self-reflection to do there do a little self-reflection on that all right what else we have going on UFO grifters what would how many of you would say it now seems obvious that the UFO thing is nothing but a planned distraction how many of you would say that that's fair to say uh so let me call out a comment that I see a lot uh this comment says Scott has a blind spot for the quote chosen people Epstein shows you how success is achieved really so Epstein is an example of all Jews you just you you that's the only thing I can say to that is just you really that doesn't work with anybody there's nobody there's nobody who's your example of all the people you you hard all right um that's all I have to say about that all right ladies and gentlemen that's enough for you on You.

Tube and Rumble and X thanks for joining and we'll have more fun tomorrow make sure you come back

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams I'm

pretty sure you've never had a better

time and today we've got the Iowa

results and all kinds of stuff you're

going to love it you're G to love

it and if you'd like to take this

experience up to levels that only Iowa

could understand all you for that is a

copper marar glass a tankered Chalin a

canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine

of the day the thing that makes

everything better is called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now

go that's so good so good what while you

still have your beverage would you join

me in a toast to V

ramaswami for in my opinion the best

campaign ever anybody ever read uh

honestly the best campaign I've ever

seen he was

Flawless he was Flawless in battle and

he was Flawless in defeat and he appears

to be so far Flawless in his after

defeat although is it a defeat is it a

defeat or is it a step up to

2028 anyway uh thanks for the great work

the uh contribution to the thought the

uh just showing us how it can be done

just showing the the right way to do

everything really so to you vake

sincerely appreciate

it but you know there was a another

winner last night

we're going to talk about

it but first while while you're all

pouring in here to watch this exciting

live live stream and of course we're

mostly going to be talking about Iowa

and what's going on there but I thought

I'd give you a little pallet

cleanser how would you like to find a

way to destroy the world economic forum

and the Davos meeting do you think I can

do

it you ready

all right here's a little news

story it's all you need to know to

destroy the world economic

Forum um this is reported on X by Mario

nul who says uh that this year's wef

meeting at Davos appears to be heading

in the usual direction of a drug fueled

Bunga Bunga sex

party local escort service website

officially announced all local service

providers are completely booked during

the wef

week and sometimes in both holes they

didn't say that but it feels like they

should have

um the wef's 2024 theme is quote

rebuilding

[Laughter]

trust all

right how would you like to end the

WF here here's how you do

it

[Music]

a lot of you guys have

spouses uh have your spouses uh ever

heard of a description of your business

meeting if your spouse is going to an

international business meeting which can

be accurately

described as a quote drug fueled Bunga

Bunga sex

party maybe you're not going next year

Jamie Diamond

maybe you're not going next

year I'm not wrong that's all it would

take to end the WF all you have to do is

tell their spouses what's going

on because even if the you know their

their particular spouse they're pretty

sure they're not

involved do you still want to have to

explain why your husband's over there so

where's your husband he uh he's he's on

a trip really a trip say that's sounds

interesting where's he going he he just

overseas a little bit no what' you say

over overse what's the name of the place

he's going

to what I can't hear you Davos

Davos where have I heard that before

isn't that where the world economic

Forum goes to have their drug fueled

bonga bonga

parties yes but your husband's not

involved in any of that

right I don't think

so so if you want to take care of that

there's your

path well as you know Trump had a solid

victory in the Iowa

caucuses and uh broke some records he

got uh 51% rounding off it's the highest

in the history of the Iowa Republican

caucus excluding the non-comp itive

years the non-competitive years when

he's not running against anybody in his

own party Trump got 51% he won every

County in

Iowa

so that's not

bad how'd you do I was all right I won

every County in Iowa every

County now do you think this scared the

uh people in MSNBC and CNN little bit

we'll talk about that yeah so let's see

uh what else happened so Dan santis got

21 I'm rounding off everything here D

santis 21% Haley

19 and V eight so v um has conceded and

he uh he says he did not achieve his

stated goal of surprising on the upside

in fact it was as if he had not even

campaigned honestly so the bad news is

that doing an amazing campaign doesn't

make any difference in Iowa I mean no

difference at all apparently they' made

up their minds so yeah it doesn't

doesn't matter the quality of your

campaign as MSNBC has pointed out uh and

I will point out as well it's kind of

interesting that the iio results were in

the exact order of

whiteness now I'm not going to say

that's why the Iowans picked who they

did because there are lots of variables

here but it did come out in the exact

order of how white they are if you know

what I mean so I'm not sure that race

isn't any part of

this you know if we're going to be

honest there was probably a racial

Dimension and I think a lot of people

believed uh this is what I heard a lot

of people believe that uh V was a

Muslim

no I i' never even heard that but you

know the people get confused with Hindu

and Muslim and you know not everybody's

fully versed in in world religions so I

think that worried him I I think they

were worried that you know maybe he

wasn't as Christian as they are um and I

think that I think that might have been

a small part of the uh the equation

unfortunately but um but I think even

more a bigger part of the equation is

they just love Trump can we agree on

that I don't think it was a rejection of

dtis it was not a rejection of Haley and

it was not a rejection of aake it's just

they really really really like Trump

they really like him a lot and they want

the revenge and they want their safety

and they want their fighter who's going

to put it all on the line so I do not I

do not begrudge them their choice

whatsoever I think the f people of Iowa

um chose well good job Iowa good job

Iowa uh they have however found a way to

throw a match on the biggest pile of

gasoline we've ever seen in our

lifetimes so things are going to get

real interesting but I'm here for

it well so f f says he's suspending his

campaign is that the same thing as

ending a

campaign is suspending a campaign just

simply what people always say you know

just in

case uh there might be some legal

technicalities to why you say it that

way

but I don't think we can

ignore that the election is a long way

away and Trump has a whole bunch of

risks so I do think that the reason that

DeSantis and Nikki Haley are still in

the race is because they'd like to just

hang around a little bit longer to be

the backup mergency

spare now V by immediately um ending his

campaign by the way was that the perfect

time to end

it can you agree with me that the way V

played it was

perfect it was

perfect it was the exact situation it

was the exact time to do it waiting

would have been a bad look very bad look

do it right away do it decisively do it

clearly and

cleanly uh tell you know say what you're

going to do which he did he's going to

he's going to help uh Trump and perfect

I I could not be happier uh sharing

sharing a country with

vake with with that kind of

performance but uh here's the thing that

I don't think anybody has quite figured

out

yet do you think the Democrats have

figured out that they just weaponize

vake

V talking on behalf of V is pretty

powerful

stuff do you know what they just did

they just combined the two strongest

forces possibly in the history of the

Republican Party the strongest force of

nature with the smartest politician

we've ever

seen and they're on the same side

completely did they see that coming I

don't think people see this

coming I I I think the what the thing

that V can add is he'll go on the show

that won't invite

Trump you see the danger here because

the CNN's in the msnbc's are could to be

hungry for Content but they can't really

invite

Trump and they don't like to you know

they don't like to bring his lying

pundits on because they don't like lying

pundits according to them you know what

they determin to be a lie but you know

what V doesn't do he doesn't

lie V has found a way to tell the

Republican narrative without the need

for any lies because there was never a

need for any lies it was it was never

necessary he was just the one smart

enough to figure out it wasn't necessary

to lie you could you could do the whole

story with any lies right the hyperbole

you know certainly helps when you're

persuading but you don't need it it was

wasn't essential he showed you that so

this allows a way for the Trump type

message which I I would argue I I'm

going to agree with Trump it's not his

message he's he's basically trying to

capture you know the

American core feeling and you know and

try to uh expand it I

guess but you put vake on

MSNBC that's going to be fun stuff and I

don't think they cannot invite him

because they can't say he's lying am I

right have you ever heard them say

that has NS NBC or CNN ever accused him

of lying they have

not and now they've established that the

reason for not letting Trump on we'll

talk about that in a minute is that they

they don't want to show his

lies what are you going to say about

the yeah they got a lot ofir time to

fill I think the's going to be

busy in my view the only cure for Trump

is a

vake he's the only cure for

TDS because he can give it to you the

way that won't make you flip out when

you hear

it this really changes everything this

changes everything and I don't know that

the that the Democrats see what's coming

yet cuz I don't think it I don't think

anybody in the Democrat Party has really

followed V I mean a lot of Republicans

didn't which is part of the

problem they have no idea what's coming

and this is going to be fun all right uh

and how did Trump take it when VI

gracefully uh conceited he immediately

truthed back uh thank you vake a great

honor did anybody did anybody have any

concern that they wouldn't be good

friends when this was over I mean at

least in terms of being on the same side

no do you know why because that's what

they are Trump is a fighter and then

when you join his side you're done

fighting that's it there's no grudge now

you're done fighting now we move on and

they're both that person now they're

done fighting so good for them that's

that's how to show

it uh Adam townend who was backing v um

had this comment today he said uh if you

didn't learn something about yourself

from watching V these past few weeks I

don't know what to tell

you

yeah uh and then he says something I

learned that there's a whole new level

to engaging uh people with strongly

differing

viewpoints V showed you that it is

actually possible to talk to people with

wildly different

viewpoints and as small as that sounds

it's every everything it's everything

it's it's the part that was missing and

it's because the news has made it almost

impossible to just tell the truth and

get away with it but he he showed you

how to do it it's just this is just

really the even losing is one of the

best thing that's happened to America

it's it's kind of a weird irony all

right let's talk about Nikki

Hy so she uh she came in uh third

place and a little bit after DeSantis

and then so her summary is tonight Iowa

made the Republican primary a two-person

race hold on so this is Trump um

DeSantis there's got the Nikki Haley was

so I don't know you know what who could

help her with the

math V yeah v he's pretty good at math

he could help her with that

yeah no uh uh you you f you came in

third you came in third all right but

kidding aside joking aside her point if

I if I understand it correctly uh let's

see if I understand her point would be

that DeSantis is too much of a trump

light so disantis and Trump you could

almost think of as like one person so

she's the alternative and now she's you

know strong second

which is not a bad point I mean maybe

she could set it set it better but uh I

I see Mike cernovich who had been

backing disantis early but then switched

to the who's wondering why DeSantis has

not

announced but in desantis's favor I

don't know that you could finish second

and drop out can you in a four-person

race because you know where do where do

V's votes go I guess you wait till you

find now right I mean if he picked up

something from V maybe gets a little

closer in New Hampshire maybe maybe

Nikki H is going to take New Hampshire

and then that makes D Santa seem a

little less relevant but I agree with uh

I agree with Mike covich that why

DeSantis hangs on needs to be

explained because it looks suspicious

right right now there could be a

legitimate reason that he's just staying

around to make sure that there's a

backup plan he thinks he's the backup

plan America would be better off if

there is a backup plan because I think

we can all just say it directly there

has to be a backup plan right we we

could just say that out loud now right

there has to be a backup plan because

the the Democrats have made it very

clear that the level of a threat they're

putting on candidate Trump is something

we've never seen before before this

won't be like other things so yeah and

and having V inside the uh Trump

tent uh who I call the sword of

truth I'm hoping that catches on V

ramaswami the sword of

truth uh I don't want you I don't think

I don't think the Democrats want to have

a strong DeSantis a strong

V uh just waiting around you know for

the word in case it comes the Scimitar

of Truth damn you that's better sorry

we're we're doing we're redoing it it's

now the Scimitar of Truth although

that is is Scimitar more of a Arabian

word yeah citar maybe we go back to

sword we we'll American we'll

americanize it yeah we better we'll go

back to sword sword of

truth although to be fair is simp SAR is

an excellent word just doesn't fit

here all right

um anyway Nikki Hy saying that uh her

third place finish makes it a two race

probably works for young people because

they can't do math either so she's got

that working for um Glenn Greenwald says

this H the massive in historic size of

Trump's Victory should lead to some

self-reflection about what caused the

complete collapse of faith in the

legitimacy of us institutions of

authority and Justice whereby voters so

easily disregard four felony cases as

irrelevant if not an

asset well Glenn uh so I almost always

agree with Glenn greenwald's takes but

not this

time Glenn there isn't going to be any

self-reflection where have you been

now I I know it's more of a hopeful

thing he's not he's not predicting

there'll be self-reflection which would

be crazy you more it was more of a gosh

I hope hope we get some but we're not

going to get any self-reflection because

the problem was never uh that the data

or the arguments were wrong it was never

that this is a medical problem you can't

you can't fix a medical problem by

self-reflection oh I've got some cancer

but a little self-reflection ought to

take care of it no it's a wrong tool

self-reflection will not help you with

TDS this is full-blown Mass hysteria a

mass hysteria is a mental health problem

like really you know no hyperbole it's a

mental health emergency I would say and

you can't fix it with better data better

data doesn't doesn't help doesn't help

anybody Health you'd have to literally

deprogram and the funny thing is that

the people who are most worried don't

realize that they are the

problem they're actually the ones

creating the mental health problem but

they don't know it that they think that

they're victims of something and not the

perpetrators so if you can't tell the

difference between the victim and the

perpetrator is very unlikely that you're

going to be working on some kind of a

solution

now how crazy are things well let me

tell you how crazy things are so crazy

in the full out Massy

areia The Joy Reed msnbc's you know one

of her one of the biggest

anti-trumpers uh is literally

wearing a trump a trump uh

wig to say that Trump is a bad person

right she's literally dressing like him

now I was thinking I would like to get

one of these Trump

wigs so that every time Trump wins

another

primary you could wear it the next day

like the next morning I'll just be

wearing my trump wig to talk about you

know New

Hampshire I'm not wrong you tell me

that's a coincidence you tell me that

that's a coincidence that is not a

coincidence now did she plan it no did

whoever did her hair

were they thinking I'm going to make you

look like Trump no no but it's not a

coincidence right that this is a picture

of the sort of uh the mass hysteria

going

physical this is somebody who's so Trump

is so in her head that he's on her

head God I like that so much I'm going

to say it twice pretend you didn't see

it the first time get

ready Trump is so far in her head that

he's on her

head wasn't that better the second time

much better the second

time all right well that's

happening so Glenn uh you're a superstar

Glenn Greenwald but uh no I wouldn't be

waiting for the self-reflection to

handle

it all right well um CNN and MSNBC if

you didn't watch

the coverage from either of those

networks you miss the best show you miss

the best show because watching the TDS

coverage of trump destroying the uh the

field in

Iowa it was really

fun because I do watch it like it's a a

mental health show like it's just people

just acting out with suffering I don't

really see it as news or anything even

in that sort of General category is pure

entertainment watching people suffering

who kind of deserve

it

um because God do they deserve it all

right so what happened was MSNBC last

night when Trump got on to do his

victory speech they decided to uh not

show it and Rachel mad M said uh that uh

she explained why NBC and other

mainstream networks are not to show it

uh because

um they say the caucus goers believe the

lies but you know they don't want to

they don't want to be basically playing

his

lies that's right the

news is going to decide that there was

this one candidate who

lies uh let me let me check the record

um let's see the political record of

every candidate in the history of the

United States looking let's see uh

AI can you tell me I'm doing my research

doing my research huh well there's an

awkward problem here it turns out that

100% of all candidates lied except for

vake who's an of the race so so how do

we handle that so I guess

MSNBC has gone to the ultimate level of

censoring they're going to tell you

who's lying and then not let you see

them and they call that the

news how does MSNBC survive the uh the

political season because they've gone so

far into the ridiculous I mean they're

just a farce at this point it's just

ridiculous I I feel like in the past

they did a good job of pretending they

were like news when they clearly weren't

but now they they stop pretending

they're just going to give up on all the

pretending and they're just going to say

we can't talk to you about the other

side because we don't want you to know

what they're thinking but and again this

is the problem that vake might slice

through because he can he can break

through

that all right uh Jake Tapper said uh

that they would talk over Trump because

uh as he said you could hear him uh

repeating his anti-immigrant

rhetoric his anti-immigrant rhetor

anti-immigrant

H I wonder where else we say things are

you know like

anti when when do you say you're Pro

something and when do you say you're

anti something because I I thought Trump

was pro- Law and Order pro-american

legal citizens I didn't realize he was

anti something oh he's against something

that's a funny way to say it so he's

really really for American

and the way you'd say that is he's

anti-immigrant

I don't believe that he's ever called

himself anti-immigrant I believe he's

anti- crime I believe he's anti-

unenforced borders I believe he's anti

chaos at the border with enormous

terrorism

risks and Jake Tapper who is anything

but a real newsers says that's

anti-immigrant

well I also don't like the way you talks

about immigrants so I would agree with

him that his choice of words not optimal

and that's something V can get right but

uh no he's not anti-immigrant to say

he's anti-immigrant is just crazy

ship all right

um of course there'll be lots of

discussions about whether 2020 was a

stolen election that will never go away

um but

um Laura lumer is reporting that uh uh

CNN said that ahead of the uh Iowa cauas

there was Iowa caucus there was a poll

do you think Biden legitimately won in

2020 and CNN was forced to

report on CNN's OWN Network that when

ped Ian said by a majority of

68% no

68% have been watching their

coverage for five years and just said

[Laughter]

nope

68% now that's just in

Iowa and that's probably just the

Republicans because it's the Iowa caucus

so I mean that's high for uh anything

but uh not as high if you consider that

it's Republicans going to a

caucus all right um but here's my

recommendation um I believe it is not

the high ground and you need The High

Ground it is not The High Ground to say

the 2020 election was stolen that's not

The High Ground here's The High

Ground uh we have a system that is

designed so you can't

tell that's The High Ground

if you want to sound crazy say you know

it was fixed and you can't prove it well

then you look like crazy doesn't mean

you're wrong doesn't mean you're wrong

but you would look crazy if you claim

with certainty that it was rigged and

then somebody says all right show your

evidence you go ah ah but some things

are

Brewing right so it doesn't really work

as an

argument except on your own side

basically but here's the argument that

can work it's

designed designed by intention so that

you can't tell if it was riged or not

now that's the argument you want to get

the other side into that it's designed

so you can't tell who won do you want

some evidence of that now you're saying

to me but Scott you're getting yourself

right back into another situation where

you don't have any evidence for your

claim don't I don't

I well let's see if there's any uh

recent

news um yes uh was it uh Virginia just

found that there were thousands and

thousands of votes that were not counted

now it turns out that if they had been

counted it would have been good for

Trump no it would have been good for

Biden Trump actually got

overcounted that there were actually in

Virginia there were like 4,000 too many

votes for Trump

now it's 2024

and we just

learned that the account in Virginia was

off by thousands of

votes so the very least we could say for

sure is that you can't tell if your

result is accurate within thousands of

votes for five

years that's a fact right they could not

tell in Virginia if they had an accurate

count for 5 years and then when they

found out found out they didn't now

8,000 votes wasn't much you know the the

margin was like 450,000 votes but the

point is about the system the point is

not any specific outcome the point is if

you believe that anybody could look at

our election and

know it was it was safe that's not a

thing there is no there's nothing built

into the system that is a

safeguard to tell you that you'd even

count counted all the votes just think

about this there's nothing about the

system that tells you when you're done

counting that you have counted all the

votes just think about that that

problem the the most basic thing did you

count all the votes we don't have a

mechanism to know

[Laughter]

that yeah or or did you undercount the

votes or did you count them wrong we

have no mechanism to know any of that so

to imagine that the real question is

that a a certain election was rigged

you're in the weeds you're in the weeds

and there's no place to go except

talking to your own side which is good

but it's not going to convince the

others if you want to convince the other

team you say you realize that we're

still finding votes five years later

which proves they didn't know that they

were lost when the election was

certified

which proves we don't have a system that

can even tell you if we got all the

votes and counted

them that's pretty basic pretty basic do

you think that the people who do all

paper

ballots don't have a way to know that

all the pieces of paper that were put in

the Box were counted yeah they do

there's somebody who watches it you put

it in the box and then there's a bunch

of people who watch you count it more

than once

yes in other places they absolutely know

that every person who came in with a

piece of paper that was a vote was

actually counted but we can't we don't

have that

system all right um and of course Joe

Biden came out with his divisive Mega

extremist statement so Biden said looks

like Donald Trump uh just won Iowa he's

a clear front runner blah blah but

here's the thing this election was

always going to be uh you and me versus

the extreme magga

Republicans can you tell us who the

extreme Maga Republicans are Joe Biden I

think the news needs to ask him for

names because if you can't name them

you're talking about the

voters are you not if he's talking about

Steven Miller being too close to Trump

say it say his name and then we will

decide

if that's a reasonable statement you

know do we think uh you know this this

person or that person is too extreme

well honestly I thought Steven Miller

was a little bit extreme in

2016 he's not extreme

now he's definitely not extreme

now because his his his immigration

policies are the exact ones we need

which are to completely reverse all the

way back to where it was when Trump was

first in office

so can you name the extremists and then

if you can name the extremists can you

name the extreme

policy was the extreme policy the one

that uh treated our borders like every

other country that is our Ally well I

guess they're not doing so well in

Europe but you know you know the point

it is the

extremist just securing your border is

that it is is it uh moving is it that

the Supreme Court moves the abortion

question closer to the people into the

states is that the extremism letting the

people have more say

locally what exactly was the extremism

is it they don't like his tax policies

is that

extreme you somebody needs to nail down

the people saying that they're magga

extremists and say can you be more

specific either give us their names or

if what you're saying is it's like all

the people in the movement

just say it say what you mean tell us

the truth for

once all right um in my in my view that

might be one of the worst messages I've

ever heard in the history of the

Republic because there are not many

examples where the leader of your

country stands in front of you and says

the problem with our country is this

group of

you do you know who does that China and

the Wagers right so basically Joe Biden

is trying to treat the magga people like

the

Wagers and that's

okay yeah yeah I don't want to use the

HW because it's too overused so I'll go

with China and the Wagers just for

now yeah basically wants to treat them

like a some kind of

Despicable

minority well one thing that is clear

let me give you the theme for the coming

months Democrats will continue to look

at

people and Republicans will continue to

look at

policy and every time you see it remind

yourself that it's happening because

only one of them is legitimate if you're

talking about policy you're in the right

conversation even if your policy is

wrong but if you're saying the real

problem is Extreme Mega Republicans what

did you say about the policy it's about

the people you're basically saying hate

these people I've never seen anybody

promote hate of of the population when

you're trying to be the leader of it

except Hiller of

course and of course China with the

Wagers so I think we should just call

Joe Biden a racist every time he says

something about Maggie extremists and

anything about Dei and anything about

ESG CRT and all those other racist

things I I think Biden just has to be

called it racist because to to imagine

it's anything else is just crazy I mean

you might be a

brainwashed uh blackmailed racist but

still the same

effect all right uh here's a little

Hunter Biden update just for fun

remember where Hunter was going to have

an art gallery but don't worry that he's

laundering any money or selling favors

because he won't even know who bought

the art and there'll be like a a wall

between the art gallery and any politics

well none of that was

true the the art gallery guy says that

Hunter would routinely ask him the names

of the buyers and you tell them and that

Hunter is the only person who made art

who asked for the names of the

buyers the regular artists that this

Gallery handles sell the artist work but

they don't tell them the name of the

buyer because that would be sort of a

privacy issue now is there anything to

worry about about the buyers oh yeah the

buyers are exactly who you thought they

would be they are in fact big Democrat

donors and people who want uh Democrat

favors and got them it's exactly what it

looked

like and it gets better the art gallery

guy has talked to president President

Biden not Hunter President Biden

twice once in the White House at some

event he chatted with the president and

once President Biden called The Art

Gallery guy uh personally to say some

congratulations or something that his

daughter did so no Joe Biden did not say

to the art gallery guy hey good work uh

helping my son launder money but when

the president of the United States calls

you at work

that has an that has an

impact that has an effect yeah so it was

exactly it's exactly what you thought it

was the art gallery was exactly what the

only question I have is whether Hunter

is actually making the

paintings now I have I have conflicting

evidence of

that uh one is I've never seen in paint

except the one where he was like blowing

something through a straw where normally

he's you snorting it a straw and so

anybody could you know blow through a

straw so that wasn't really an example

of art I want to see him actually make

one of those paintings that are

impressive because the artwork is

actually very good I want to see him

make one of those but I have

heard through indirect means that he

actually does stand in front of an easel

and does actually

paint so maybe I'm wrong which would be

fun I I would love to know that Hunter

Biden was a world class artist I would

love to know that that that would be

just fun I'd be completely supportive of

his Artistic Endeavors although the

money laundering is still obviously an

issue but I don't know if he makes these

paintings or not I'm just kind of

curious one way or the

other all right

um um CBS news says according to our

entrance poll most Iowa GOP caucus goers

I love that word you don't see it much

you don't get to use that the rest of

the year I'm going to say caucus goer as

often as possible today hey you caucus

goers or you caucus Growers all right

but anyway according to CB CBS News um

there six in 10

people uh who were Iowa caucus goers the

GOP types 6 and 10 said they would vote

for Trump even if he's convicted of a

crime what do the anti Trump people say

when they say when they find out that 6

out of 10 Republicans will vote for him

even if he's convicted of a crime it's a

cult it's a personality cult they must

not read the news they don't know the

facts right is there any

hypothesis that CBS News and the others

are leaving

out could there be any other

explanation for why why why would so

many Republicans be willing to ignore an

actual felony conviction I can't think

of anything can you think of

anything oh wait I've got something I

just thought of

it and I posted this back to to CBS I

said that um maybe it's because most

Iowa GOP caucus goers know the Democrat

driven lawfare against Trump is

and so they plan to shove that

down the throats of the media

liars and watch them choke and die on

it that maybe

maybe

possible am I am I anywhere near the ZIP

code am I getting close yeah no yes no

that's what it is in case you're

confused CBS let me say it again

maybe like every one of the other

Republicans

they think the lawfare is they

think it's media driven and they want to

shove it down your throats and

watch you choke on it that's what I

want that's what I want I want to watch

Trump shove it down their

throats and watch them choke on it no

real violence you know in case you're

confused no no real violence hyp we're

talking in the figurative sense sh shove

the down their

throats so that's the game I'm

in that's the game I'll be playing they

shove it down their throats

game um let's see how many ways do you

think the uh pro Democrat news will find

to describe dementia without calling it

dementia well here's the latest entry

from AOS who is as you know not really a

legitimate new source more like a

Democrat you know organ at this point

um they report in a post lots of

highlevel Democrats are warning that

President Biden and his re-election team

are too complacent and unimaginative

about the threat of losing to Donald

Trump

huh they're complacent and they're

unimaginative what would be

another word for that let's say you're

really old you're the president you're

very very old your brain's not working

like it used to and indeed you can see

little differences and maybe you're not

as vigorous and uh active you know maybe

you're a little

more

complacent and what if your brain isn't

so good anymore that it could think of

you know new and original ways to do

things what what would that be called Al

the unimaginative unimag what kind of a

brain would be complacent and

unimaginative well I can't think of a

thing dementia

Hiller uh we've got a new uh standard

for uh disinformation or we

should the WF was talking about the the

big old risk of disinformation in the

every the the news is telling us about

the risk of disinformation and lots of

important people are telling us about

the the risk of

disinformation I have a a standard which

I would like to um

promote a standard for what is

disinformation and what is not you ready

you're going to like it because if we

just say hey I think this is true what

does the other side say no it's not and

then the other side says but this is

true and then what does the other side

say no it's not so that's our current

system how's that working out for

everybody no it's not it's not working

out at all

so I propose the following standard

misinformation and disinformation I I'll

put them together the Mis

disinformation is defined as any point

of view which will not tolerate somebody

sitting next to you debating it

politely let that sink in

misinformation is any information uh

that is presented without the

Counterpoint and I mean a legitimate

Counterpoint a polite person who's not

talking over you who's simply sitting

there and presenting the other side and

of course you would have you would have

the chance to speak back it's always

disinformation if you're seeing one side

so when the wef officials I just saw a

video were up there complain about

disinformation they were

disinformation because there should have

been somebody sitting right next to them

saying it's not disinformation it's a

different opinion you just think it's

wrong now if that person had been

sitting there showing the Counterpoint I

would say well there's some information

for me there there's a person who has

this point of view there's another

person who has another point of view I

can compare them that's called

information what's it called if only one

of them is on the stage

disinformation every time it might be

true sometimes but that would be like a

weird situation no one person talking

without the benefit of a Counterpoint is

disinformation by definition right

because everybody's lying in

politics except for

vake right if it's not vake or you know

Thomas Massie you know maybe you can add

you know Paul you know Rand Paul and a

few others but basically if it's if it's

somebody in the news or a pundit or

somebody running for office

usually usually it's not true in some

way so I would use the same standard

whether it's a Republican or a Democrat

if it's one person talking of course

it's

disinformation now if it's one person

giving a campaign

speech we all kind of put that in cont

context don't we aren't we all grown up

enough to know one politician giving a

speech is not supposed to look like

complete truth I think we all know that

right you have to hear the other side

but when somebody's let's say in a news

capacity let's say you're Joy

read and you're just giving one side of

things that's disinformation by its

nature you don't even need to know the

details of what she said if she's giving

one point of view and they're exists a

Counterpoint or a context that's missing

that's all you need to know yeah it's

just information if there's only one

person talking what do you think that

should be your standard that this whole

thing about one person talking might be

true and might be false that's absurd in

politics one person talking is just

every time right now like I

said you could point out you know some

weird exceptions but there's a reason

reason that a came in

fourth if he lied better he probably

would have done a lot better imagine if

a had

lied he probably could have done a lot

better yeah but he just wasn't willing

to go

there all right

um NPR

uh NPR was according to fiser King

64 uh NPR is talking today about the

path forward for Nikki

Hy NPR is still talking about Nikki

getting in there the path forward is

that something terrible happens to

Trump you can can we stop talking about

the path

forward because I'm pretty sure it's a

path backwards if you know what I mean

she might have a path backwards into the

presidency but it's only if something

terrible happens to the leading

candidate so no NPR we don't treat you

as a legitimate news

source speaking of illegitimate things

are you following the story of one of

Trump's

um was she uh District attornies uh

fonnie you know fonnie f n n

funny what's her last name I forgot to

write it down Willis funny Willis so it

turns out she was having an affair with

the prosecutor who was handling the

Trump prosecution Now by

itself H that bother me too much

honestly I didn't really want to make a

thing about that because people have

affairs people who go to work in an

office sometimes they hook up and I

thought well that doesn't

necessarily mean there's something wrong

with this

process

however yeah which one of them was

married was it the guy who was married

or was he he was yeah he got divorced

just recently but but um yeah allegedly

right allegedly allegedly had a fair

um so but here's the part that'll get

under your skin I think it turns out

that the boyfriend she gave the job to

is nowhere near qualified for the job he

he had never been involved in anything

like this at this scale and for some

reason that we don't understand it was

necessary for him to spend like two days

at the White House talking the Democrats

and billing for it so it doesn't look

like he's legitimate it looks like she

was giving her boyfriend some free money

uh which makes her look like she is uh

corrupt now separate from the question

of whether she's corrupt when it comes

to charging Trump she's clearly corrupt

because she's doing this thing with her

boyfriend and sending him money now you

could say to yourself but Scott we don't

know that there's any corruption we just

know it's a boyfriend he's not quite

capable and she's sending him a lot of

money through allowing him this

possibility this uh this uh

opportunity yeah we don't know we don't

no

no but in these situations the

appearance of

impropriety is the same as the

impropriety would you agree they for all

practical purposes

is

um the the appearance of

impropriety is a is a you got to recuse

yourself

situation

so yeah yeah uh they went on vacations

together yeah so everything about it is

uh corrupt sounding and sketchy I don't

know that any of it was illegal I don't

know that anybody's um alleging that but

yeah there's a lack of transparency see

here there's something very much to be

concerned about and it's as sketchy as

hell and what is her response to being

caught red-handed in this sketchy

situation well it's probably racism she

says probably

racism

surprise

um and according to

rasmuson 50% of those they pulled

believe uh the allegations against uh

funny the district

attorney um they believe the allegations

basically and they they think that she

had an improper relationship again

that's not

illegal but ethically it's a bottom of

the barrel so the most unethical

unethical DA got busted for that anyway

all right let's talk about uh bill akman

as you know bill akman was successful in

getting the uh president of Harvard to

step down and you know he's anti- Dei

now so he's uh always voted Democrat but

he was very anti- Dei when he found out

what that was all about in Harvard so

now he's educated about that and he says

that uh if you haven't figured it out

already it is now abundantly clear that

Trump is going to crush Biden in the

election now that does seem abundantly

clear if Trump makes it all the way to

election day I don't think it's

abundantly clear that he's going to make

it to election day you know we could

just say that out loud now because I do

think the bad guys are that bad I don't

know it'll happen I'm not predicting

it'll happen but they are that bad yeah

we're we do live in that world and we

need to grow up a little

bit but Bill Amman decides he's going to

back uh the Challenger or I guess the

main Challenger you could say to uh to

Biden uh which is Dean

Phillips uh however it is an awkward

discovery that Dean Phillips has on his

website a pro Dei

statement so the anti- Dei guy is

decided to back the pro Dei guy for

president now people of course pointed

that out

hey um hey Bill Amman we like what you

did there in Harvard but um do you know

you're backing a pro Dei candidate what

does Bill akman say who is no quitter by

the way he's not a quitter he says uh

that Phillips didn't understand Dei and

that he expects that statement will be

changed soon because they're educating

him about what Dei really

is so no problem yeah once he corrects

that little

imperfection then uh he'll have a a good

package to take

forward right because that's that's kind

of a small thing isn't it

little small thing no bill Amman it's

not a small thing that he was a

racist this week he's a racist this

week I'm not gonna vote for him next

week because he because he

edited his his web page no bill you got

to give up on this one um and by the way

I love Bill akman like huge fan I'm sure

it's not reciprocal so I'm not depending

on him liking me for him for me to like

what he's done I like what he's done

period he's a he's a patriot he's he's a

plus in terms of the stuff he's done

here I don't know what else he's done in

his life but uh everything I saw him do

I liked a

lot but this is my friendly advice you

can't back a guy who had a Dei statement

on his he's just a

racist or he's a racist enabler or worse

he didn't understand the the biggest

issue in the country and he's running

for president this is the biggest issue

this is the biggest

issue yeah if you think and and it

because this issue permeates all the

other issues it's why you're afraid to

fly it's why the cities are full of

immigrants it's why you know uh property

crime is high it's why our budget is

breaking it's it's Dei and Dean Phillips

didn't know that the core problem in the

United States was a problem no that's

not a small problem to correct that is

game over you're done if you

ever had that on your website you're

done so I know I do love that bill akman

is a fighter so he'll probably stay with

it but my my advice is to just uh cut

your

losses I don't know what he needs to do

instead because I mean he's not going to

back a republican it looks like but you

just can't back the guy who had a Dei

statement you just can't do that that

there's no place to work with

that so that was a hell of a bad

start um and now if Bill Amman would

like to uh you know stick with Dean

Phillips I have some further questions

for him to ask Hey Dean Phillips tell us

your view on climate

change

right what what do you think Bill

amman's going to say when he hears this

guy's view on climate change I don't

know what it is but he's a Democrat so

you do you think Bill Amman believes the

CL the climate change alarmist and wants

to get rid of fossil fuels as quickly as

possible there's no way the amman's

going to hear the actual arguments pro

and con and back the Democrat side

because we've seen him in action he's

too smart for that now keep in mind the

acman also didn't realize that Dei was a

talk xic Time Bomb right so as smart as

he is which is super smart that was a

little blind

spot does he believe that was his one

blind spot because I don't think

so I think he needs to know that climate

change is another blind spot even if

it's a real problem separate from the

conversation of what's real and what's

not the way it's the way it's presented

and the solutions that are presented get

rid of fossil fuel right away these are

not serious people and I can't believe

that a smart person once hearing all

arguments would still back somebody who

was on that side of it it's hard to

believe all right um How about if he uh

ask Dean Phillips what he thinks about

all the problem with the white

supremacists ask Dean Phillips if he

thinks there's a mega extremist problem

and give us their names just like Biden

see I think Bill Amman needs

to if he's going to be this influential

and he seems to be very influential I

feel like he owes it to the rest of us

to dig in a little bit

deeper just just dig in a little like

you did with Dei so you know I give I

give acman a full pass for correction

right so my my standard for judging

people I say this all the time it's not

that you got one wrong that's not the

problem getting one wrong is just normal

we all get stuff wrong but how do you

deal with it how how do you deal with

being wrong you know how how did vake

deal with uh not getting his prediction

right in Iowa honestly quickly

clearly and with

humility that's how you do

it all

right so yeah Dean Phillips has a lot to

explain um Vanguard the company the big

company that has lots of uh index funds

just an enormous Financial entity uh we

hear today from the end wokeness account

on X uh that first of all they control7

trillion doll in

assets 7 trillion do they control in

assets and their new class of interns

has uh almost no white people in

it and the employees are given courses

on white fragility and engaging white

males to advance

Dei and they're also big backers of

ESG so for uh for many decades I have uh

uh very full-throated endorsed Vanguard

funds because what the funds are is

they're um they're unmanaged funds an

index fund is just like a a basket of of

stocks and a basket of stocks is a real

good way to invest and they have

reasonably low fees so the things you

want are an honest company that can tell

you don't invest in individual Stocks by

this basket of stocks because divers

diversification is good that's very good

that's why I like Vanguard uh the people

who had invested in Vanguard funds from

the beginning of the fund would be

really happy because their index funds

did great that's the whole point so

Vanguard is a very

credible successful financial

institution which I have very happily

recommended lots of people for I don't

know 30 years I've probably been

recommending them at the top of my list

for 30 years today I dis reccommend them

as a racist organization and I don't

believe that they should get any of your

money and if you have any money in there

and it doesn't cost you too much I would

yank it down immediately because I don't

think you can support this or you should

it it leads to a bad place you don't

want to be supportive of racist

companies no matter which direction the

racism goes so this is just pure

racism and um I I get that they're

trying to correct years of of U you know

years of having too many white people

and white men in positions I get that I

know what they're trying to fix but

don't do it this way th this is this is

we can't do business with you if this is

who you are so I absolutely dis

reccommend Vanguard funds for anybody uh

who cares about racism

well it turns out that claan gay uh who

was the president of Harvard that

stepped down um there there are many

movie offers multi-million dollar movie

offers made about the

situation uh Christopher rufo who was

one of the primary people besides Bill

Atman trying to get her to step down he

asked uh who would play him in the

movie so Christopher rufo is asking who

would play him in the

movie and uh an account called uh John

Stokes made a suggestion it says my

money's on Idris

Ela I've been laughing about that all

morning all right if you didn't know

Idis Elba is a very good black actor

who's going to be I I think that they've

agreed to play James Bond is that deal

been made or is that just something

they're talking about I don't know the

details but that was the discussion so

now let me say again idra ELO is great

and he could play a great James Bond I

would definitely watch that movie so I

don't have any problem with that uh that

that's not where I'm gonna that's not

the hill I'm going to die on I think a

good actor can play you know whatever

they want um so the fact he's a great

actor should be the the key thing to

understand from that but that's pretty

funny get ID your s to play Christopher

rufo well well in the less good uh

story this also comes from n wokeness

one of my new favorite accounts um

fentanyl seizures at the border I'll

give you a little history in 2020 they

found uh almost 5 lbs of fenel at the

border that they that's just what they

found

now five pounds of fenel do you know how

much that is because like a little Trace

can kill you five pounds that can kill a

lot of people that was in

2020 in 2021 uh well it's a little more

than five pounds in 2021 it was 11,200

lb up from

five five would kill a

city but uh at least it slowed down so

in 2022 oh it didn't slow down it was

14,700 lb of fenel then now again that's

only the parts they caught that doesn't

count what got through just what they

caught all right but thank God Joe

Biden's uh talked to China so and Mexico

so they could get that number down and

I'm happy to report that for the year

2023 the number

is oh 27,000 PB

it takes 2 and half pounds of fentanyl

to kill half a million people uh carry

the three x times four that's enough to

kill every single person in the

United States good job Joe good job

there's now enough Fel to kill every

human being in the United States you

know you know where we should start

getting

serious when there's enough to kill

every pet to because people I don't care

about them but if you you know if the

pets start getting into it well we've

got to draw the line there how in the

world how in the world can Trump lose

this election if it's a fair

election he

can't that's why it's not going to be a

fair election I don't think there's a

chance right who whoever is behind

this is who's running the country would

you agree who whoever is behind all this

fentel comeing in is running the country

at least in important ways because if

the president were in

charge there are lots of ways to stop it

I

mean well I don't even what else to say

about it I mean this is so absurd at

this point that I I don't get it

anyway

[Music]

so

um how about all that news about Ukraine

huh you know I hate that I look on

social media and I turn on the news and

it's just Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine they

just can't stop talking about it right

now the news kind of

stopped to say more news kind of stopped

and how about Gaza how about those

latest casualty figures from Gaza

right uh did the news stop

the news stopped right so we got two

major

Wars and three three three Wars four if

you count the

Border yeah and the News decided oh you

know what's interesting Iowa it's really

cold in Iowa how about those UFOs hey

look at the

UFOs well here's a uh there's now a

story that there are leaked German plans

for World War II no not causing World

War II that I'm going to throw you a

like a little uh

surprise the news is reporting that

Germany is preparing to wait for

this fight against World War II yeah

they'd actually be on our side this time

apparently they'd be on our side so

that's good news uh the the worry is

that Russia if they wrap things up in

Ukraine they feel emboldened by it

because they got some property that they

would start going after the

baltics uh let's see what's there that

you got your Estonia your lvia and your

Lithuania now Joe Biden probably thinks

Lithuania is where we get our lithium

so maybe we do but that would be a weird

coincidence I don't I don't think we get

any lithium from

Lithuania but it would be funny if we

did anyway uh um so it turns out there

are a number of Russian Nationals in

Estonia lvia and

Lithuania I don't know I feel like we

should just let Russia have all the

Russians speaking people and just just

say can you just take all the

Russians will you leave us alone if you

have all the

Russians because that's making a little

too easy for him because I feel like he

can win all the

Russians

but if he tries to take over Poland well

now I got a bigger problem because

honestly I'm not super concerned about

the borders of Lithuania I know I should

be um I will say that uh if they if they

with Estonia they're going to run

into a

problem the the the

estonians

uh well there there's a a friend of mine

lives in

Estonia and they don't want to piss him

off because if they do they're going to

piss me off and then I'm all in on

Estonia so

um don't mess with Estonia you should

leave that one alone if pu Putin are you

listening Putin I figure he probably

watches my

show trying to learn

English

Putin uh I don't know about Lithuania

and

lva but you better keep your hands off

Estonia

better keep your head off of that one

that that's going to be a different game

so that's just a warning for

you anyway um as Germany said when these

leaked plans came out so the plans

involve an assumption that Putin keeps

going and keeps conquering stuff and

then what what would they do about it um

but as the German military quite

reasonably and rationally says um we

play for

everything and that should have been the

story so they shouldn't have had to ask

the German general hey is this what you

plan to do no we plan for everything

that's what we do we just make sure

we've considered every possibility this

is one of the possibilities so we plan

for it so I'm not sure that this means

they think it's going to happen it just

means it would be very smart to have a

contingency plan so they're just being

smart are you kidding me there is a

lithium battery energy storage Park in

Lithuania come on come

on come

on it's that's actually

true lith lithium battery storage

facility of Lithuania there had to

be all right well I think we should

trick uh Putin into attacking

elbonia because if we can get uh Putin

to put all of his resources into elbonia

well then they wouldn't exist because

elbonia doesn't exist so that's my plan

all right ladies and gentlemen there was

so much news today I don't think I even

saw it all was there any big story I

forgot to mention I feel like there's

something big I'm forgetting to

mention I I did hear on uh MSNBC that

the experts are saying they don't

necessarily think that any of uh Trump's

trials will have an outcome before the

election and they're real worried about

that

because if the outcome is after the

election then I suppose he pardons

himself or or the country ignores it or

something buy a blonde wig everybody

wants me to wear a Joy Reed uh

wig oh sword of truth sounds like sort

of yeah that yeah that's a

problem uh comment says Bill Amman is

not anti woke he wanted Claudine gay

because she's not Jewish says you uh now

five of eight Ivy League schools have

Jewish

presidents and the problem with that is

what's your problem with

that yeah see the problem is what are we

supposed to do tell the uh Jewish

population of America to stop over uh

like over

succeeding what do you want to do about

that is anybody claiming they got their

job because they're

Jewish if you can claim that then we

have something to talk about if they

didn't get their job because they're

Jewish then you don't have anything to

talk about it just means that one group

of Americans is excelling would you want

them not to be in the

country would you would you want the

Jewish Americans who are qualified

enough to be running major ivy league

institutions will you want them to go to

some other country

they're like insanely great assets of

the country and you're you're bitching

about them doing too well that's like

saying V is too smart so there's

something suspicious going on I I think

we need to let accept exceptionalism

from individuals and maybe get over it

yeah just get over it individuals can

Excel of any any type doesn't matter who

they are

tuer is uh having having on the uh uh

what do you call the surgeon Surgeon

General I think of Florida a black

gentleman who according to most

Republicans his view is that the uh the

the vaccines were horribly dangerous so

most of you would say he's doing a great

job he's a black man who excelled is

saying what you want him to say better

than the rest according to Republicans

probably would say that so why can't

people just do well like what's the

problem if somebody who doesn't look

like you does

great why do they propagate so much

anti- whiteness well I don't think the

Jews are doing it are they you think

that well yeah I mean if they are it's

because they're College presidents it's

not because they're

Jewish

yeah no I don't think that has to do

with Jewish that has everything to do

with

Democrats if if it's something that's

common to every single Democrat and the

Democrats are super

diverse how how are you picking one

group out you you I think you have some

self-reflection to do there do a little

self-reflection on

that all right what else we have going

on UFO grifters what would how many of

you would say it now seems obvious that

the UFO thing is nothing but a planned

distraction how many of you would say

that that's fair to

say uh so let me call out a comment that

I see a lot uh this comment says Scott

has a blind spot for the quote chosen

people Epstein shows you how success is

achieved really so Epstein is an example

of all

Jews

you just

you you that's the only thing I can

say to that is just you really that

doesn't work with anybody there's nobody

there's nobody who's your example of all

the people

you you

hard all right

um that's all I have to say about that

all right ladies and gentlemen that's

enough for you on YouTube and Rumble and

X thanks for joining and we'll have more

fun tomorrow make sure you come

back
